WEST COAST BANCORP
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
 
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
     The interim unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information. In addition, this report has been prepared in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q, and therefore, these financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of West Coast Bancorp (“Bancorp” or the “Company”), and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, West Coast Bank (the “Bank”), West Coast Trust Company, Inc and Totten, Inc., after elimination of intercompany transactions and balances. The Company’s interim consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and related notes, including the Company’s significant accounting policies, contained in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 (“2010 10-K”).
 
    The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The financial information contained in this report reflects all adjustments of a normal, recurring nature that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim periods. The results of operations and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2011, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2011, or other future periods.

On May 19, 2011, Bancorp implemented a 1-for-5 reverse split of its common stock (the "Reverse Stock Split"), pursuant to an amendment to its Restated Articles of Incorporation approved by shareholders at the Company’s annual meeting of shareholders held on April 26, 2011. All share and per share related amounts in this report have been restated to reflect the Reverse Stock Split.
 
    As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, every 5 shares of the Company's common stock issued and outstanding at the end of the effective date of May 19, 2011, were combined and reclassified into 1 share of common stock. Bancorp did not issue fractional shares of common stock and paid cash in lieu of fractional shares resulting from the Reverse Stock Split. Cash payments for fractional shares were determined on the basis of the stock's average closing price on the NASDAQ Global Select Market for the five trading days immediately preceding May 19, 2011, as adjusted for the Reverse Stock Split.
 
    As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, the number of outstanding shares of common stock declined from 96.4 million shares to 19.3 million shares. The number of authorized shares of common stock was reduced from 250 million to 50 million. Proportional adjustments have also been made to the conversion or exercise rights under the Company's outstanding stock incentive plans, preferred stock, restricted stock, stock options and warrants.

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION (continued)
 
     New Accounting Pronouncements. In December 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance within the Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2010-20 “Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses.” ASU 2010-20 requires entities to provide disclosures designed to facilitate financial statement users’ evaluation of (i) the nature of credit risk inherent in the entity’s portfolio of financing receivables, (ii) how that risk is analyzed and assessed in arriving at the allowance for credit losses and (iii) the changes and reasons for those changes in the allowance for credit losses. Disclosures must be disaggregated by portfolio segment, the level at which an entity develops and documents a systematic method for determining its allowance for credit losses, and class of financing receivable, which is generally a disaggregation of portfolio segment. The required disclosures include, among other things, a roll forward of the allowance for credit losses as well as information about modified, impaired, nonaccrual and past due loans and credit quality indicators. ASU 2010-20 became effective for the Company’s financial statements as of December 31, 2010, as it relates to disclosures required as of the end of a reporting period. Disclosures that relate to activity during a reporting period are required for the Company’s financial statements that include periods beginning on or after January 1, 2011. The adoption of this guidance did not have any impact on the Company’s consolidated statement of income (loss), its consolidated balance sheet, or its consolidated statement of cash flows.
 
       In April 2011, the FASB issued guidance within the ASU 2011-02 “A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring is a Troubled Debt Restructuring.” ASU 2011-02 clarifies when a loan modification or restructuring is considered a troubled debt restructuring. This guidance is effective for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after June 15, 2011, and will be applied retrospectively to the beginning of the annual period of adoption. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated statement of income (loss), its consolidated balance sheet, or its consolidated statement of cash flows.

2. STOCK PLANS
 
     At June 30, 2011, Bancorp maintained the 2002 Stock Incentive Plan (“2002 Plan”) which is shareholder approved and authorizes the grant of stock options, restricted stock awards and certain other stock based awards. The 2002 Plan permits the grant of stock options and restricted stock awards for up to 0.82 million shares. As of June 30, 2011, 46,136 shares remained available for issuance, of which 35,663 shares may be allocated to restricted stock awards. Proportional adjustments were made to the per share and related amounts of shares as well as the conversion and exercise rights of stock options and other awards made under the 2002 Plan, in connection with the Reverse Stock Split.
 
     It is Bancorp’s policy to issue new shares for stock option exercises and restricted stock awards. Bancorp expenses stock options and restricted stock on a straight line basis over the applicable vesting term.
 
     Restricted stock granted under the 2002 Plan generally vests over a two to four year vesting period; however, certain grants have been made that vested immediately or over a one year period, including grants to directors.
 
     All outstanding stock options have an exercise price that was equal to the closing market value of Bancorp’s stock on the date the options were granted. Options granted under the 2002 Plan generally vest over a two to four year vesting period; however, certain grants have been made that vested immediately, including grants to directors. Stock options have a 10 year maximum term.

       Total   $      645,246   $      8,960   $      (8,094 )   $      646,112
                           
     At June 30, 2011, the fair value of the securities in the investment portfolio was $760.7 million while the amortized cost was $755.0 million, reflecting a net unrealized gain in the portfolio of $5.7 million. At December 31, 2010, the fair value and amortized cost of securities in the investment portfolio were $646.1 million and $645.2 million, respectively, reflecting a net unrealized gain of $.9 million.
 
     The Company analyzes investment securities for other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) on a quarterly basis. The Company assesses whether OTTI is present when the fair value of an investment security is less than its amortized cost basis at the balance sheet date. Under these circumstances, OTTI is considered to have occurred if (1) the Company intends to sell the security; (2) it is “more likely than not” the Company will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis; or (3) the present value of expected cash flows is not sufficient to recover the entire amortized cost basis.
 
     Credit related OTTI is recognized in earnings, while noncredit related OTTI on securities not expected to be sold, is recognized in other comprehensive income (“OCI”). Noncredit related OTTI is based on other factors, including illiquidity and changes in interest rates. Presentation of OTTI is made in the statements of income on a gross basis with an offset for the amount of OTTI recognized in OCI.
 
     In the second quarter of 2011, the Company recorded an OTTI charge of $.2 million related to a pooled trust preferred security in its investment securities portfolio. At June 30, 2011, this security had $1.6 million of impairment loss of which $1.4 million was due to noncredit related factors and therefore recognized in OCI. In reaching the determination to record this impairment management reviewed the facts and circumstances available surrounding the security, including the projected cash flows from the security, the duration and amount of the unrealized loss, the financial condition of the underlying issuers in the pool, and the prospects for a change in market value within a reasonable period of time. For pooled trust preferred investments, the Company analyzes cash flow projections that utilize inputs for deferral, default and recovery rates, and the timing of such deferrals, defaults and recoveries. Utilizing the projection of cash flows, the credit loss of $.2 million on this security was measured as the difference between the amortized cost basis and the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected. Projected cash flows were discounted by the current effective interest rate. The primary cause of the credit related loss was the reduction of projected future cash flows as a result of issuers deferring interest payments. The remaining $1.4 million impairment, an amount equal to the difference between the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected and the fair value, was recognized as a charge to OCI.

     The following table presents a tabular roll forward of the amount of credit related OTTI recognized in earnings for the periods presented:
 
     
    Three months ended   Six months ended

Balance of credit related OTTI at end of period   $ (179 )   $ -   $ (179 )   $           -
                             
     After taking into account the OTTI described above, the corporate securities segment of the investment securities portfolio had a $4.8 million net unrealized loss at June 30, 2011, with an amortized cost of $13.8 million and a fair value of $9.0 million as of that date. The unrealized loss was associated with the decline in fair value of the four investments in pooled trust preferred securities issued primarily by banks and insurance companies. An increase in liquidity and credit spreads, including due to certain issuer defaults, and an extension of expected cash flows, including due to issuer elections to defer interest payments, since the purchase of these securities contributed to the unrealized loss associated with these securities at June 30, 2011. Compared to December 31, 2010, the fair value of these securities did not change materially. These securities have several features that reduce credit risk, including seniority over certain tranches in the same pool and the benefit of certain collateral coverage tests.

     At June 30, 2011, the Company had five investment securities with an amortized cost of $13.8 million and an unrealized loss of $4.8 million that have been in a continuous unrealized loss position for more than 12 months. Pooled trust preferred securities accounted for the majority of unrealized loss in these securities.

3. INVESTMENT SECURITIES (continued)
 
     There were a total of 16 securities in Bancorp’s investment portfolio with an amortized cost of $153.4 million and a total unrealized loss of $1.4 million at June 30, 2011, that have been in a continuous unrealized loss position for less than 12 months. The unrealized loss on these investment securities was predominantly caused by changes in market interest rates, average life or credit spreads subsequent to purchase. The fair value of most of the Company’s securities fluctuates as market interest rates change.
 
     At June 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010, the Company had $333.7 and $504.0 million, respectively, in investment securities being provided as collateral to the Federal Home Loan Bank of Seattle (“FHLB”), the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco (“Reserve Bank”), the State of Oregon, the State of Washington, and others to support the Company’s borrowing capacities and certain public fund deposits. At June 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010, Bancorp had no reverse repurchase agreements.

1 The unpaid principal balance on impaired loans represents the amount owed by the borrower. The carrying value of impaired loans is lower than the unpaid principal balance due to charge-offs.
 
     A loan is accounted for as a troubled debt restructure (“TDR”) if the Company, for economic or legal reasons related to the borrower’s financial difficulties, grants a concession to the borrower that it would not otherwise consider granting. A TDR typically involves a modification of terms such as a reduction of the stated interest rate or face amount of the loan, a reduction of accrued interest, or an extension of the maturity date(s) at a stated interest rate lower than the current market rate for a new loan with similar risk.
 
     The following table presents an analysis of TDRs for the periods ended June 30, 2011, and June 30, 2010:

     TDRs are considered impaired and as such are typically measured based on the fair value of the collateral less selling costs. For TDRs that are collateral dependent the Company charges off the amount of impairment at the time of impairment, rather than placing the impaired loan amount in a specific reserve allowance. Known impairments on non-real estate secured TDRs are charged off immediately rather than recording a specific reserve allowance in the allowance for loan losses. TDRs that have subsequently defaulted are removed from the loan balances with any loss charged to the allowance for loan losses reserve. Additional losses charged on subsequently defaulting TDRs is typically a minimal amount and immaterial for the period ending June 30, 2011.

     The following table presents nonaccrual loans by category as of the dates shown:

Commercial   $       9,280   $       13,377

Installment and other consumer     1     -
       Total loans on nonaccrual status   $ 50,622   $ 61,231
             
     The Company uses a risk rating matrix to assign a risk rating to loans not evaluated on a homogenous pool level. At June 30, 2011, $1.10 billion of loans were risk rated and $417.6 million were evaluated on a homogeneous pool basis. Individually risk rated loans are rated on a scale of 1 to 10. A description of the general characteristics of the 10 risk ratings is as follows:
  • Ratings 1, 2 and 3 - These ratings include loans to very high credit quality borrowers of investment or near investment grade. These borrowers have significant capital strength, moderate leverage, stable earnings and growth, and readily available financing alternatives. Smaller entities, regardless of strength, would generally not fit in these ratings. These ratings also include loans that are collateralized by U. S. Government securities and certificates of deposits.
     
  • Rating 4 - These ratings include loans to borrowers of solid credit quality with moderate risk. Borrowers in these ratings are differentiated from higher ratings on the basis of size (capital and/or revenue), leverage, asset quality and the stability of the industry or market area.
     
  • Ratings 5 and 6 - These ratings include “pass rating” loans to borrowers of acceptable credit quality and risk. Such borrowers are differentiated from Rating 4 in terms of size, secondary sources of repayment or they are of lesser stature in other key credit metrics in that they may be over-leveraged, undercapitalized, inconsistent in performance or in an industry or an economic area that is known to have a higher level of risk, volatility, or susceptibility to weaknesses in the economy. However, no material adverse trends are evident with borrowers in these pass ratings.
     
  • Rating 7 - This rating includes loans on management’s “watch list” and is intended to be utilized on a temporary basis for pass rating borrowers where a significant risk-modifying action is anticipated in the near term.
     
  • Rating 8 - This rating includes “Substandard” loans, in accordance with regulatory guidelines, for which the accrual of interest may or may not been discontinued. By definition under regulatory guidelines, a “Substandard” loan has defined weaknesses which make payment default or principal exposure likely, but not yet certain. Such loans are apt to be dependent upon collateral liquidation, a secondary source of repayment, or an event outside of the normal course of business.
     
  • Rating 9 - This rating includes “Doubtful” loans in accordance with regulatory guidelines. Such loans are placed on nonaccrual status and may be dependent upon collateral having a value that is difficult to determine or upon some near-term event which lacks certainty.
     
  • Rating 10 - This rating includes “Loss” loans in accordance with regulatory guidelines. Such loans are to be charged-off or charged-down when payment is acknowledged to be uncertain or when the timing or value of payments cannot be determined. “Loss” is not intended to imply that the loan or some portion of it will never be paid, nor does it in any way imply that there has been a forgiveness of debt.

4. LOANS AND ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES (continued)
 
     The Company considers loans assigned a risk rating 8 through 10 to be classified loans. The following table presents weighted average risk ratings of the loan portfolio and classified loans by category. The weighted average risk ratings did not exhibit material change from December 31, 2010, to June 30, 2011. Overall classified loans have contracted from December 31, 2010, with reductions in classified commercial and real estate construction balances more than offsetting increases in real estate mortgage and commercial real estate categories during the first six months of 2011.

1 Installment and other consumer loans are primarily evalued on a homogenous pool level and generally not individually risk rated unless certain factors are met.
 
     The following table presents homogeneous loans where credit risk is evaluated on a portfolio basis by category, and includes home equity lines of credit and certain small business loans. Important credit quality metrics for this portfolio include balances on nonaccrual and past due status. Total loans and lines evaluated on a homogeneous pool basis were $417.6 million at June 30, 2011, and $439.4 million at December 31, 2010. Such balances on nonaccrual status declined from $7.7 million at December 31, 2010, to $2.6 million at June 30, 2011. During first quarter 2011, due to the unique nature of nonstandard mortgages, the methodology for risk rating these loans was modified. This procedural change resulted in the movement of 35 notes with total commitments of $6.4 million from the homogenous pool to the individually risk rated portfolio. This change did not have a significant impact on the allowance for loan losses.

6. EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE
 
     The earnings (loss) per share is calculated under the two-class method. The two-class method is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings (loss) per share for each class of common stock and participating security according to dividends declared (or accumulated) and participation rights in undistributed earnings. A participating security is an instrument that may participate in undistributed earnings with common stock. The Company has issued restricted stock and preferred stock that qualifies as a participating security. Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.
 
     Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed in the same manner as basic earnings (loss) per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if certain shares issuable upon exercise of options and warrants, conversion of preferred stock, and non-vested restricted stock were included, unless those additional shares would have been anti-dilutive. For the diluted earnings (loss) per share computation, the treasury stock method is applied and compared to the two-class method and whichever method results in a more dilutive impact is utilized to calculate diluted earnings per share. The two-class method was utilized to calculate diluted earnings per share for the quarter ended June 30, 2011.
 
     On May 19, 2011, Bancorp implemented the Reverse Stock Split. All share and per share related amounts have been restated to reflect the Reverse Stock Split. The following table reconciles the numerator and denominator of the basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share computations for the quarters ended June 30, 2011, and 2010:

7. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
 
     The Bank has financial instruments with off balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
 
     The Bank’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual or notional amount of those instruments. The Bank uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as for on-balance sheet instruments.
 
     The following table summarizes the Bank’s off balance sheet unfunded commitments as of the dates shown:

     Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer, as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the underlying contracts. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Many of the commitments may expire without being drawn upon; therefore total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Each customer’s creditworthiness is evaluated on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary upon extension of credit, is based on the Bank’s credit evaluation of the customer. Collateral held varies, but may include real property, accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, and income-producing commercial properties. The Company maintains a reserve for unfunded commitments as a component of the allowance for credit losses.
 
     Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued to support a customer’s performance or payment obligation to a third party. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers.
 
     Interest rates on residential 1-4 family mortgage loan applications are typically rate locked during the application stage for periods ranging from 15 to 60 days, the most typical period being 45 days. These loans are locked with various qualified investors under a best-efforts delivery program. The Company makes every effort to deliver these loans before their rate locks expire. This arrangement generally requires the Bank to deliver the loans prior to the expiration of the rate lock. Delays in funding the loans may require a lock extension. The cost of a lock extension at times is borne by the borrower and at times by the Bank. These lock extension costs paid by the Bank are not expected to have a material impact on results of operations. This activity is managed daily.
 
     Bancorp is periodically party to litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. Based on information currently known to management, although there are uncertainties inherent in litigation, we do not believe there is any legal action to which Bancorp or any of its subsidiaries is a party that, individually or in the aggregate, will have a materially adverse effect on Bancorp’s financial condition and results of operations, cash flows, or liquidity.

9. LONG-TERM BORROWINGS AND JUNIOR SUBORDINATED DEBT
 
     The following table summarized Bancorp’s long-term borrowings for the periods shown:
 
(Dollars in thousands) June 30, 2011       December 31, 2010
FHLB non-putable advances $ 99,399   $ 138,599
FHLB putable advances   30,000     30,000
Total long-term borrowings $ 129,399   $ 168,599
           
     Long-term borrowings consisting of notes with fixed maturities and structured advances with the FHLB totaled $129.4 million at June 30, 2011, compared to long-term borrowings of $168.6 million at December 31, 2010. The decrease in long-term borrowings of $39.2 million during the first six months of 2011 was due to advances becoming short-term, as they are scheduled to mature over the next twelve months. At June 30, 2011, Bancorp’s remaining long-term borrowings with fixed maturities, or non-putable advances, were $99.4 million, with rates ranging from 2.78% to 5.03%. Bancorp also had three structured, or putable, advances totaling $30.0 million, with original terms of five years and rates ranging from 2.45% to 3.78%. The scheduled maturities on these structured advances occur in February 2013, August 2013 and March 2014, although the FHLB may under certain circumstances require payment prior to maturity. At June 30, 2011, principal payments due at scheduled maturity of Bancorp’s total long-term borrowings were $10.9 million in 2012, $76.3 million in 2013 and $42.2 million in 2014.
 
     Bancorp had no outstanding federal funds purchased from correspondent banks, borrowings from the discount window or reverse repurchase agreements at June 30, 2011.

9. LONG-TERM BORROWINGS AND JUNIOR SUBORDINATED DEBT (continued)
 
      At June 30, 2011, six wholly-owned subsidiary grantor trusts established by Bancorp had an outstanding balance of $51.0 million in trust preferred securities. During the second quarter of 2011 the Company paid all deferred interest on its trust preferred securities. Under our December 2009 Written Agreement with the Oregon Department of Consumer and Business Services, Division of Finance and Corporate Securities (“DFCS”) and the Reserve Bank, the Company must request regulatory approval prior to making interest or other payments on its trust preferred securities.

11. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT AND FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 
     A financial instrument is defined as cash, evidence of an ownership interest in an entity, or a contract that conveys or imposes the contractual right or obligation to either receive or deliver cash or another financial instrument. Examples of financial instruments included in Bancorp’s balance sheet are cash, federal funds sold, debt and equity securities, loans, demand, savings and other interest-bearing deposits, notes and debentures. Examples of financial instruments which are not included in the Bancorp balance sheet are commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit.
 
     Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
 
     Accounting standards require the fair value of deposit liabilities with no stated maturity, such as demand deposits, NOW and money market accounts, to equal the carrying value of these financial instruments and does not allow for the recognition of the inherent value of core deposit relationships when determining fair value.
 
     Bancorp has estimated fair value based on quoted market prices where available. In cases where quoted market prices were not available, fair values were based on the quoted market price of a financial instrument with similar characteristics, the present value of expected future cash flows or other valuation techniques that utilize assumptions which are subjective and judgmental in nature. Subjective factors include, among other things, estimates of cash flows, the timing of cash flows, risk and credit quality characteristics, interest rates and liquidity premiums or discounts. Accordingly, the results may not be precise, and modifying the assumptions may significantly affect the values derived. Further, fair values may or may not be realized if a significant portion of the financial instruments were sold in a bulk transaction or a forced liquidation. Therefore, any aggregate unrealized gains or losses should not be interpreted as a forecast of future earnings or cash flows. Furthermore, the fair values disclosed should not be interpreted as the aggregate current value of Bancorp.
 
     The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value:
 
     Cash and cash equivalents - The carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.
 
     Trading securities Trading securities held at June 30, 2011, are related solely to bonds, equity securities and mutual funds held in a Rabbi Trust for benefit of the Company’s deferred compensation plans. Fair values for trading securities are based on quoted market prices.
 
     Investment securities - For substantially all securities within the categories U.S. Treasuries, U.S. Government agencies, mortgage-backed, obligations of state and political subdivisions, and equity investments and other securities held for investment purposes, fair values are based on quoted market prices or dealer quotes if available. When quoted market prices are not readily accessible or available, the use of alternative approaches, such as matrix or model pricing or indicators from market makers, is used. If a quoted market price is not available due to illiquidity, fair value is estimated using quoted market prices for similar securities or other modeling techniques. If neither a quoted market price nor market prices for similar securities are available, fair value is estimated by discounting expected cash flows using a market derived discount rate as of the valuation date.
 
     Level 3 assets consist of pooled trust preferred securities and auction rate securities. The fair values of these securities were estimated using the discounted cash flow method. The fair value for these securities used inputs for base case default, recovery and prepayment rates to estimate the probable cash flows for the security. The estimated cash flows were discounted using a rate for comparably rated securities adjusted for an additional liquidity premium.
 
     Loans - The fair value of loans is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current rate at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities. An additional liquidity discount is also incorporated to more closely align the fair value with observed market prices.
 
     Impaired loans - A loan is considered to be impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due (both interest and principal) according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Impaired loans are measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate or, as a practical expedient, at the loan’s observable market price or the fair value of the collateral. A significant portion of the Bank's impaired loans are measured using the fair value of the collateral.
 
     Bank owned life insurance - The carrying amount is the cash surrender value of all policies, which approximates fair value.
 
     Other real estate owned - Management obtains third party appraisals as well as independent fair market value assessments from realtors or persons involved in selling OREO in determining the fair value of particular properties. Accordingly, the valuation of OREO is subject to significant external and internal judgment. Management periodically reviews OREO and obtains periodic appraisals to determine whether the property continues to be carried at the lower of its recorded book value or fair value less estimated selling costs.

11. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT AND FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)
 
     Deposit liabilities - The fair value of demand deposits, savings accounts and other deposits is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair value of time deposits is estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.
 
     Short-term borrowings - The carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value given the short-term nature of these financial instruments.
 
     Long-term borrowings - The fair value of the long-term borrowings is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current rate at which similar borrowings with similar remaining maturities could be made.
 
     Junior subordinated debentures - The fair value of the variable rate junior subordinated debentures and trust preferred securities approximates the pricing of a preferred security at current market prices.
 
     Commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit and financial guarantees - The majority of commitments to extend credit carry current market interest rates if converted to loans.
 
     The tables below present fair value information on certain assets broken down by recurring or nonrecurring measurement status. Recurring assets are initially measured at fair value and are required to be reflected at fair value in the financial statements at each reporting date. Assets measured on a nonrecurring basis are assets that due to an event or circumstance were required to be re-measured at fair value after initial recognition in the financial statements at some time during the reporting period.
 
     Assets are classified as level 1-3 based on the lowest level of input that has a significant effect on fair value. The following definitions describe the level 1-3 categories for inputs used in the tables presented below.
  • Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1): Inputs that are quoted unadjusted prices in active markets for identical assets that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date. An active market for the asset is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
     
  • Other observable inputs (Level 2): Inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity including quoted prices for similar assets, quoted prices for securities in inactive markets and inputs derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
     
  • Significant unobservable inputs (Level 3): Inputs that reflect the reporting entity's own estimates about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.

     Certain assets, such as loans held for sale, loans measured for impairment, and OREO, are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis after initial recognition. For the three months ended June 30, 2011, loans held for sale were subject to the lower of cost or market method of accounting. However, there were no impairments recognized on loans held for sale in second quarter 2011. As of June 30, 2011, $64.5 million loans included in Bancorp’s loan portfolio were deemed impaired. In addition, during the second quarter, certain properties were written down by a total of $1.5 million to reflect additional decreases in estimated fair market value subsequent to the time such properties were placed into OREO.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
 
     The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes to those statements of West Coast Bancorp (“Bancorp” or the “Company”) that appear under the heading “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” in Bancorp's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 (“2010 10-K”), as well as the unaudited consolidated financial statements for the current quarter found under Item 1 above.
 
Forward Looking Statement Disclosure
 
     Statements in this Annual Report of West Coast Bancorp (“Bancorp” or the “Company”) regarding future events or performance are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the “PSLRA”) and are made pursuant to the safe harbors of the PSLRA. The Company’s actual results could be quite different from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Words such as “could,” “may,” “should,” “plan,” “believes,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “expects,” “projects,” “potential,” “likely,” or “continue,” or words of similar import, often help identify “forward-looking statements,” which include any statements that expressly or implicitly predict future events, results, or performance. Factors that could cause events, results or performance to differ from those expressed or implied by our forward-looking statements include, among others, risks discussed in Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of the 2010 10-K, risks discussed elsewhere in the text of this report, as well as the following specific factors:
  • General economic conditions, whether national or regional, and conditions in real estate markets, that may affect the demand for our loan and other products, lead to declines in credit quality and increase in loan losses, negatively affect the value and salability of the real estate that we own or that is the collateral for many of our loans, and hinder our ability to increase lending activities;
     
  • Changing bank regulatory conditions, policies, or programs, whether arising as new legislation or regulatory initiatives or changes in our regulatory classifications, that could lead to restrictions on activities of banks generally or West Coast Bank (the “Bank”) in particular, increased costs, including higher deposit insurance premiums, price controls on debit card interchange, regulation or prohibition of certain income producing activities, or changes in the secondary market for bank loan and other products;
     
  • Competitive factors, including competition with community, regional and national financial institutions, that may lead to pricing pressures that reduce yields the Bank earns on loans or increase rates the Bank pays on deposits, the loss of our most valued customers, defection of key employees or groups of employees, or other losses;
     
  • Increasing or decreasing interest rate environments, including the slope and level of the yield curve, that could lead to decreases in net interest margin, lower net interest and fee income, including lower gains on sales of loans, and changes in the value of the Company’s investment securities; and
     
  • Changes or failures in technology or third party vendor relationships in important revenue production or service areas or increases in required investments in technology that could reduce our revenues, increase our costs, or lead to disruptions in our business.
     Furthermore, forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties related to the Company’s ability to, among other things: dispose of properties or other assets obtained through foreclosures at expected prices and within a reasonable period of time; attract and retain key personnel; generate loan and deposit balances at projected spreads; sustain fee generation including gains on sales of loans; maintain asset quality and control risk; limit the amount of net loan charge-offs; manage its interest rate sensitivity position in periods of changing market interest rates; adapt to changing customer deposit, investment and borrowing behaviors; control expense growth; and monitor and manage the Company’s financial reporting, operating and disclosure control environments.
 
     Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements, which reflect management’s analysis only as of the date of the statements. The Company does not intend to publicly revise or update forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that arise after the date of this report.
 
     Readers should carefully review all disclosures we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
 
Community Reinvestment Act (“CRA”)
 
     The Bank received a CRA rating of satisfactory during its most recent CRA examination in September 2010.

Second Quarter 2011 Financial Overview
 
     During second quarter 2011, we recorded:
  • Net income of $4.6 million compared to a net loss of $3.8 million in second quarter 2010;
     
  • A net interest margin of 3.85%, an increase of 74 basis points from 3.11% in second quarter 2010;
     
  • An average rate paid on total deposits of .31%, a 33 basis point decline from .64% in second quarter 2010;
     
  • A provision for credit losses of $3.4 million, a reduction of $4.4 million from $7.8 million for the same quarter in 2010; and
     
  • Net loan charge-offs of $4.6 million, relatively unchanged from $4.7 million in second quarter 2010.
     Management continued to proactively implement and execute certain strategies that have resulted in significant strengthening of the Company’s balance sheet, including:
  • Increasing the Bank’s total and tier 1 risk-based capital ratios to 18.56% and 17.30%, respectively, at June 30, 2011, up from 17.10% and 15.84% at June 30, 2010;
     
  • Improving the Bank’s leverage ratio to 13.04% at June 30, 2011, from 11.43% a year ago; and
     
  • Reducing total nonperforming assets by 26% or $30.2 million over the past twelve months, to $86.0 million at quarter end.
     On May 19, 2011, Bancorp implemented a 1-for-5 reverse split of its common stock (the "Reverse Stock Split") pursuant to an amendment to its Restated Articles of Incorporation approved by shareholders on April 26, 2011. All share and per share related amounts in this report have been restated to reflect the Reverse Stock Split.
 
     As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, every 5 shares of the Company's common stock issued and outstanding at the end of the effective date of May 19, 2011, were combined and reclassified into 1 share of common stock. Bancorp did not issue fractional shares of common stock and paid cash in lieu of fractional shares resulting from the Reverse Stock Split. Cash payments for fractional shares were determined on the basis of the stock's average closing price on the NASDAQ Global Select Market for the five trading days immediately preceding May 19, 2011, as adjusted for the Reverse Stock Split.
 
     Also a result of the Reverse Stock Split reduced the number of outstanding shares of common stock declined from 96.4 million shares to 19.3 million shares. The number of authorized shares of common stock was reduced from 250 million to 50 million. Proportional adjustments have also been made to the conversion or exercise rights under the Company's outstanding stock incentive plans, preferred stock, restricted stock, stock options and warrants.
 
Results of Operations
 
Three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010
 
     Net Income (Loss). Net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, was $4.6 million and $9.7 million, respectively, as compared to a net loss of $3.8 and $4.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010. Earnings per diluted share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, were $0.22 and $0.45, respectively, as compared to a loss per diluted share of $0.20 and $0.30 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010. For additional detail regarding calculation of our earnings per diluted share in the current quarter and year to date, see Note 6 “Earnings (Loss) Per Share” of our interim financial statements included under Item 1 of this report.

     Second quarter 2011 net interest income of $22.0 million increased $3.1 million from the same quarter in 2010. Excluding a $2.3 million expense related to a Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) borrowing prepayment expense in the second quarter of 2010, net interest income expanded $.8 million year-over year second quarter. Net interest income on a tax equivalent basis was $22.2 million in the most recent quarter, up from $19.2 million in the second quarter of 2010. Average interest earning assets decreased $157.4 million, or 6.4%, to $2.32 billion for the second quarter of 2011 from $2.48 billion for the same period in 2010, while average interest bearing liabilities decreased $264.2 million, or 14.4%, to $1.58 billion from $1.84 billion in the prior period.
 
     The second quarter 2011 net interest margin of 3.85% increased 74 basis points from second quarter 2010, predominantly due to a lower rate on interest bearing deposits and the above mentioned FHLB prepayment expense in the second quarter 2010. The spread between the yield earned on loans and rate paid on interest bearing deposits improved 92 basis points year-over-year in the second quarter notwithstanding the continued unfavorable shift in the average earning asset mix as higher yielding loan balances continued to decline. Collectively, cash equivalents and investment securities earned 273 basis points less than the loan portfolio during the most recent quarter.
 
     As of June 30, 2011, the Bank had $695.9 million in floating and adjustable rate loans with interest rate floors. Of these loans, $488.5 million were at their floor rate. These floors have benefited the Company’s loan yield and net interest income and margin over the past year. If interest rates rise, the Company anticipates yields on loans at floors will lag underlying changes in market interest rates, although the overall effect will depend on how quickly and dramatically market interest rates rise, as well as how the slope of the market yield curve changes.
 
     At June 30, 2011, management estimated that the Bank remains slightly asset sensitive over the next twelve month measurement period, meaning that earning assets are expected to mature or reprice more quickly than interest bearing liabilities over this period. Whether we will be able to continue recent positive trends in or maintain our net interest margin will depend on our ability to generate new loans and thereby utilize excess liquidity, to further reduce nonperforming assets, and to control our costs of funds, all of which will depend on economic conditions, competitive factors and market interest rate trends. For more information see the discussion under the heading “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” in our 2010 10-K.
 
     Provision for Credit Losses. Bancorp recorded provision for credit losses for the second quarters of 2011 and 2010 of $3.4 million and $7.8 million, respectively. While loan net charge-offs remained relatively unchanged from the second quarter of 2010, the overall risk profile of the Company’s loan portfolio improved. For example, residential real estate construction loans comprised just 1% of total loans at June 30, 2011, compared to 3% a year ago. Additionally, the Bank experienced a declining volume of loans migrating to higher risk rating classifications. The provision for credit losses was $5.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to $15.4 million in the same period last year. Whether we will be able to continue the trend of decreasing provision for credit losses will depend primarily on economic conditions and the interest rate environment, as an increase in interest rates could put pressure on the ability of our borrowers to repay loans. For more information, see the discussion under the subheading “Allowance for Credit Losses and Net Loan Charge-offs” below.
 
     Noninterest Income. Total noninterest income of $8.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2011, decreased $1.5 million from $9.6 million in the second quarter of 2010. The decrease was primarily due to a $.7 million increase in OREO valuation adjustments and (loss) gains on sales, a $.6 million reduction in service charges on deposit accounts, a $.4 million decline in gain (loss) on sales of securities, and a $.2 million credit related other-than-temporary-impairment (“OTTI”) loss on a pooled trust preferred security in the investment portfolio. Noninterest income for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was $17.0 million compared to $16.0 million for the same period in 2010. The year-to-date increase in noninterest income was primarily due to a $1.0 million decrease in OREO valuation adjustments and (losses) gains on sales compared to the first six months of 2010. The following table illustrates the components and change in noninterest income for the periods shown:

     In November 2010 the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") issued guidance applicable to its supervised institutions, including the Bank, on overdraft payment programs which is effective July 1, 2011. The Bank began implementing changes to its overdraft payment program in the second quarter of 2011 to comply with the FDIC's guidance and further changes will be implemented in the third quarter of 2011. The Company believes these changes will adversely affect noninterest income in future periods.
 
     Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2011, of $23.0 million, remained nearly unchanged compared to $22.9 million in the second quarter 2010. Salaries and employee benefits expense increased $.8 million over the same period in the prior year. Payment system related expenses grew $.1 million or 11% due to higher customer transaction volumes. These increases were substantially offset by the $.9 million decline in other noninterest expenses, which was primarily due to a reduction in the Company’s FDIC insurance premium expense from the second quarter in 2010.
 
     Noninterest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2011, was $45.5 million, an increase of $1.5 million compared to $44.0 million for the same period in 2010. The increase in noninterest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to the same period in 2010 was primarily due to higher salary and employee benefits expense. The Company continues to make efforts to lower its cost structure without negative effects on our customers. We expect our noninterest expenses will continue to be affected by expenses associated with elevated levels of nonperforming assets.
 
     The following table illustrates the components and changes in noninterest expense for the periods shown:
 
  Three months ended                 Three months ended

     Changing business conditions, increased costs in connection with retention of, or a failure to retain key employees, lower loan production volumes causing deferred loan origination costs to decline, or a failure to manage operating and control environments could adversely affect our ability to limit expense growth in the future.
 
     Income Taxes. The Company recorded an income tax benefit for the three months ended June 30, 2011, of $1.0 million compared to a provision for income taxes of $1.7 million during the second quarter of 2010. The benefit for income taxes in second quarter 2011 is the result of the increase in the estimated gross unrealized gains on the investment securities portfolio for the full year. For the six months period ended June 30, 2011, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $.3 million compared to a provision for income taxes of $.9 million in the first six months of 2010.
 
     As of June 30, 2011, the Company maintained a valuation allowance of $18.0 million against its deferred tax asset balance of $24.1 million, for a net deferred tax asset of $6.1 million. Under certain assumptions, including having pretax income in the third and fourth quarters of 2011, the remaining deferred tax asset valuation allowance could be reversed in the fourth quarter of 2011. The reversal of the deferred tax asset valuation allowance would significantly decrease the Company’s income tax expense and increase net income.

Balance Sheet Overview
 
     Balance sheet highlights are as follows:
  • Total assets were $2.5 billion as of June 30, 2011, substantially unchanged from December 31, 2010;
     
  • Total loans at $1.5 billion also remained virtually unchanged from the balance at December 31, 2010, primarily due to an improving trend in the Company’s quarterly loan commitment origination volume that nearly offset loan run off and resolution;
     
  • The combined balance of total cash equivalents and investment securities was $797 million, or 34% of earning assets, at June 30, 2011; and
     
  • Total deposits of $1.9 billion at June 30, 2011, were also relatively unchanged from year end 2010, with a continuing deposit balance mix shift away from time deposits.
     Our balance sheet management efforts are focused on increasing loan balances within our concentration parameters to targeted customer segments as opportunities arise, limiting loan concentrations within our loan portfolio, maintaining a strong capital position until we have more certainty regarding prospective economic conditions, and retaining sufficient liquidity. We also expect to further reduce nonperforming assets by resolving nonaccrual loans and disposing of OREO properties.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
     Total cash and cash equivalents decreased to $90.2 million at June 30, 2011, from $178.0 million at December 31, 2010, as we invested cash into our investment securities portfolio over the past six months.

      At June 30, 2011, the fair value of the investment portfolio was $760.7 million, compared to $646.1 million at 2010 year end, an increase of 17.7% or $114.6 million. The net unrealized gain in the investment portfolio was $5.7 million at June 30, 2011, compared to $.9 million at year end 2010. An increase in net unrealized gains in the Company’s mortgage-backed securities and obligations of state and political subdivisions categories, primarily due to declining market interest rates, led to the increase in the overall net unrealized gain in the Company’s investment portfolio.
 
      The investment portfolio increased $114.5 million since June 30, 2010. The purchases were primarily of US Government agency securities with 3 to 5 year maturities and 10 and 15 year fully amortizing US Agency mortgage backed securities for which we expect to have limited extension risk. The expected duration of the investment portfolio was 3.0 years at June 30, 2011, compared to 1.8 years at June 30, 2010, and 3.1 years at March 31, 2011.
 
      In the second quarter of 2011, the Company recorded a credit related OTTI charge of $.2 million pretax related to a pooled trust preferred security in our investment portfolio. In reaching the determination to record this impairment management reviewed the facts and circumstances available surrounding the security, including the projected cash flows from the security, the duration and amount of the unrealized loss, the financial condition of the issuers within the pool and the prospects for a change in market value within a reasonable period of time. Based on its assessment, management determined that the impairment was other-than-temporary in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) and that a charge was appropriate for this security.

      The Bank’s total loan portfolio was $1.52 billion at June 30, 2011, a slight decrease from December 31, 2010. While loan balances contracted as compared to June 30, 2010, we have experienced a steady increase in our quarterly loan commitment origination volumes over the past year which has resulted in our loan balances stabilizing over the past six months. Reflecting the continued challenges in local residential real estate markets and in the economy, commercial, real estate construction, and real estate mortgage loan balances declined from year end and more than offset growth in commercial real estate loans. The residential real estate construction loan portfolio contracted $36.7 million or 70% since June 30, 2010, and measured just 1% of total loans at most recent quarter end compared to 3% a year ago. The Company also exited a number of higher risk rated loans over the past year which contributed to the $14.4 million or 5% contraction in the commercial loan category over the same period. Additionally, commercial credit line commitment utilization at most recent quarter end remained low compared to historical levels.

      Interest and fees earned on our loan portfolio are our primary source of revenue, and it will be very important that we continue to improve loan originations and increase loan balances in order to grow overall revenues. Our ability to achieve loan growth will be dependent on many factors, including the effects of competition, economic conditions in our markets, health of the real estate market, retention of key personnel and valued customers, and our ability to close loans in the pipeline.
 
      At June 30, 2011, the Bank had outstanding loans of $5.4 million to persons serving as directors, executive officers, principal stockholders and their related interests. These loans, when made, were made in the ordinary course of business on substantially the same terms, including interest rates, maturities and collateral, as comparable loans made to customers not related to the Bank. At June 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010, Bancorp had no bankers’ acceptances.
 
      Below is a discussion of our loan portfolio by category.
 
      Commercial. At June 30, 2011, the outstanding balance of commercial loans and lines was $297.8 million or approximately 20% of the Company’s total loan portfolio. The total commercial lines and loans balance decreased by $11.5 million or 4% from $309.3 million at year end 2010.
 
      At June 30, 2011, commercial lines of credit accounted for $182.3 million or 61% of total outstanding commercial loans and lines, while commercial term loans accounted for $115.5 million or 39% of the total. The commercial line utilization remained towards the low end of our customers’ utilization range over the past few years.
 
      The Company guides new origination volume using concentration limits that establish maximum exposure levels by designated industry segment, real estate product types, geography, and single borrower limits. We expect the commercial loan portfolio to be an important contributor to growth in future revenues. Our capital and liquidity positions will support our efforts to pursue opportunities in targeted commercial lending segments.
 
      Real Estate Construction. At June 30, 2011, the balance of real estate construction loans was $32.4 million, a reduction of $11.7 million or 26% from $44.1 million at December 31, 2010. Total real estate construction loans represented 2% of the total loan portfolio at the end of the second quarter, down from 3% at December 31, 2010, and 5% a year ago. Additionally, at the end of the second quarter 2011, the Bank’s real estate construction concentration at 17% relative to Tier 1 capital and allowance for credit losses was well within the Interagency Guidelines for Real Estate Lending and the Commercial Real Estate Lending Joint Guidance policy guidelines which set forth a 100% limit for such ratio.
 
      Until the supply and market demand for new homes is more in balance and volume of homes being foreclosed upon declines from recent levels, there will be limited demand for new residential construction loans in the market place. Limited financing for vertical construction may be made available. However, we still view residential construction lending as high risk, and we are not actively looking to grow residential construction balances at this time.
 
      Real Estate Mortgage. The following table presents the components of our real estate mortgage loan portfolio:
 
                            Change from

Nonstandard mortgage product     10,464   3 %     12,523   4 %     (2,059 )   -16 %     14,348   4 %
Home equity loans and lines of credit     264,016   78 %     268,968   77 %     (4,952 )   -2 %     274,072   76 %
       Total real estate mortgage   $ 336,724   100 %   $ 349,016   100 %   $ (12,292 )   -4 %   $ 362,287   100 %
                                                   
      At June 30, 2011, real estate mortgage loans totaled $336.7 million or approximately 22% of the Company’s total loan portfolio. This loan category included $10.5 million in nonstandard mortgage loans, a decline from $12.5 million at December 31, 2010, and $14.3 million a year ago. At June 30, 2011, mortgage loans measured $62.2 million or 19% of total real estate mortgage loans, $31.2 million of which were standard residential mortgage loans to homeowners. The remaining $31.0 million in mortgage loans were associated with commercial interests utilizing residences as collateral. Such commercial interests included $19.8 million related to businesses, $2.2 million related to condominiums, and $4.6 million related to ownership of residential land.
 
      Home equity lines and loans represented 78% or $264.0 million of the real estate mortgage portfolio at June 30, 2011. The overall home equity line utilization measured approximately 61% at June 30, 2011, which was similar to such line utilization a year ago.
 
      The mortgage loan portfolios have experienced some weakness year to date 2011, primarily in home equity loans and lines of credit, as reflected by higher nonaccrual balances and net charge-offs in this portfolio. Should weaknesses in the economy and housing market continue, coupled with persistent high unemployment in our markets, increased real estate mortgage delinquencies and charge-offs may result going forward. Additionally, there may be requests made in the future for repurchases of real estate mortgage loans previously sold by the Company in the secondary market. At June 30, 2011, the number of repurchase requests and the balances associated with those requests was not material.

      The commercial real estate portfolio increased $21.1 million or 2.6% from $818.6 million at December 31, 2010, to $839.7 million at June 30, 2011. At quarter end, loans secured by office buildings and retail facilities accounted for 35.4% of the commercial real estate portfolio, relatively unchanged from prior periods shown.

      Over the periods shown, the mix between owner occupied and non-owner occupied commercial real estate has remained fairly stable with balances increasing in both segments since year end 2010. At June 30, 2011, the Bank’s commercial real estate concentration at 132% relative to Tier 1 capital and allowance for credit losses was well within the Interagency Guidelines for Real Estate Lending and the Commercial Real Estate Lending Joint Guidance policy guidelines which set forth a 300% limit for such ratio. The following table shows the commercial real estate portfolio by property location:

      As shown in the table above, the distribution of our commercial real estate portfolio at June 30, 2011, was fairly consistent with our branch presence in our operating markets. The average size of our commercial real estate loans was approximately $.5 million at June 30, 2011. The following table shows the commercial real estate portfolio by year of stated maturity:

      At June 30, 2011, commercial real estate loans with stated loan maturities in 2011 and 2012 totaled $92.5 million or a relatively modest 11% of the $839.7 million total commercial real estate portfolio. Commercial real estate markets continue to be vulnerable to financial and valuation pressures that may limit refinance options and negatively impact borrowers’ ability to perform under existing loan agreements. Declining values of commercial real estate or higher market interest rates may have a further adverse affect on the ability of borrowers with maturing loans to satisfy loan to value ratios required to renew such loans.

      At June 30, 2011, total nonperforming assets were $86.0 million, or 3.49% of total assets, compared to $100.7 million, or 4.09%, at December 31, 2010, and $116.2 million or 4.64% a year ago. Nonperforming assets have declined for nine consecutive quarters and were down 26% from June 30, 2010. The balance of total nonperforming assets at quarter end reflected write-downs totaling $47.8 million or 35% from the original principal loan balance.
 
      Over the past year, total nonaccrual loans declined $28.0 million or 36% to $50.6 million at June 30, 2011. The reduction was largely due to the Company taking ownership of additional residential and commercial properties related to loans which previously were on nonaccrual status, nonaccrual loan payoffs, charge-offs, and the disposition of nonaccrual commercial loans. Over the past year, nonaccrual commercial, residential real estate construction and real estate mortgage loans declined and more than offset a modest increase in nonaccrual commercial real estate loans.

      The Company has remained focused on OREO property disposition activities. During the second quarter 2011 the Company added $4.0 million and disposed of $6.7 million in OREO property. At June 30, 2011, the OREO portfolio consisted of 366 properties valued at $35.4 million. The quarter end OREO balance reflected write-downs totaling 50% from the original loan principal compared to 52% twelve months ago. The largest balances in the OREO portfolio at June 30, 2011, were attributable to homes, followed by income producing properties and residential site development projects, all of which are located within the region in which we operate. For more information regarding the Company’s OREO, see the discussion under the subheading “OREO” and “Critical Accounting Policies” included in Item 7 of the Company’s 2010 10-K.

      Expenses from the acquisition, maintenance and disposition of OREO properties are included in other noninterest expense in the statements of income (loss.) Our operating results will be impacted by our ability to dispose of OREO properties at prices that are in line with current valuation expectations. Continued decline in real estate market values in our area would lead to additional OREO valuation adjustments or losses upon final disposal, which would have an adverse effect on our results of operations.

      Delinquencies. Bancorp also monitors delinquencies, defined as loan balances 30-89 days past due, not on nonaccrual status, as an indicator of future nonperforming assets. Total delinquencies were $10.0 million or .65% of total loans at June 30, 2011, up from $2.7 million or .18% at December 31, 2010, and $2.7 million or .17% at June 30, 2010. The majority of the $6.2 million increase from year end 2010 in commercial real estate delinquencies at June 30, 2011, was cured subsequent to quarter end.

     At June 30, 2011, the Company’s allowance for credit losses was $39.2 million, consisting of a $32.6 million formula allowance, a $5.4 million unallocated allowance, a $.4 million specific allowance and a $.8 million reserve for unfunded commitments. At December 31, 2010, our allowance for credit losses was $41.1 million, consisting of a $33.5 million formula allowance, a $6.2 million unallocated allowance, a $.6 million specific allowance and a $.8 million reserve for unfunded commitments. The reserve for unfunded commitments was included in other liabilities as of both period ends. At June 30, 2011, the allowance for credit losses was 2.58% of total loans, a decrease from 2.67% at December 31, 2010. At June 30, 2011, the allowance for credit losses was 78% of nonperforming loans, as compared to 67% at December 31, 2010.
 
     Overall, we believe that the allowance for credit losses is adequate to absorb probable losses in the loan portfolio at June 30, 2011, although there can be no assurance that future loan losses will not exceed our current estimates. The process for determining the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses is critical to our financial results. Please see Item 1A “Risk Factors” in our 2010 10-K.
 
     Net Loan Charge-offs. For the quarter ended June 30, 2011, total net loan charge-offs were $4.6 million compared to $4.7 million in the second quarter 2010. Year over year second quarter, commercial loan net charge-offs declined while home equity net charge-offs increased. Second quarter 2011 annualized net loan charge-offs to total average loans outstanding was 1.22%, up slightly from 1.15% in the same quarter last year.

Total deposits and borrowings   $ 2,153,593         0.80 %   $ 2,151,937         0.86 %   $ 2,362,533         1.72 %
                                                       
Long-term borrowings include junior subordinated debentures.
 
     Second quarter 2011 average total deposits of $1.93 billion declined 6% or $115.3 million from the same quarter in 2010. This decrease was mainly due to the decision to continue to reduce higher cost time deposit balances, which declined $207.0 million or 48% from the same quarter last year. Time deposits represented just 12% of the Company’s average total deposits in the most recent quarter. The combination of the Company’s favorable deposit mix and recent deposit pricing strategies helped reduce the average rate paid on total deposits to .31% in second quarter 2011, representing a decline of 33 basis points from 0.64% in the same quarter 2010. Whether we will continue to be successful maintaining or growing our low cost deposit base will depend on various factors, including deposit pricing strategies, market interest rates, the effects of competition, client behavior, and regulatory changes and requirements.
 
     At June 30, 2011, total brokered deposits were $7.6 million, compared to $7.7 million at March 31, 2011, and $59.1 million at June 30, 2010. Brokered deposits are currently not being replaced as they mature.
 
     The average balance of long-term borrowings decreased $82.7 million from the second quarter 2010 to $213.1 million in the most recent quarter as we did not replace maturing borrowings over the past twelve months.
 
     At June 30, 2011, the balance of junior subordinated debentures issued in connection with our prior issuances of trust preferred securities was $51.0 million or unchanged from June 30, 2010. During the second quarter of 2011 the Company paid all previously deferred interest and current interest payments on its trust preferred securities. Under the December 2009 Written Agreement with the Oregon Department of Consumer and Business Services, Division of Finance and Corporate Securities (“DFCS”) and the Federal Reserve Bank (“Reserve Bank”), we must request regulatory approval prior to making payments on our trust preferred securities. For additional detail regarding Bancorp’s outstanding debentures, see Note 9 in the financial statements included under Item 1 of this report.

Capital Resources
 
      The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (“Federal Reserve”) and the FDIC have established minimum requirements for capital adequacy for bank holding companies and state non-member banks. For more information on these topics, see the discussions under the subheadings “Capital Adequacy Requirements” in the section “Supervision and Regulation” included in Item 1 of the Company’s 2010 10-K. The following table summarizes the capital measures of Bancorp and the Bank at June 30, 2011:
 
    West Coast Bancorp     West Coast Bank   Minimum requirements
(Dollars in thousands)     June 30,    December 31,       June 30,    December 31,   Adequately   Well
     2011    2010   2010      2011    2010    2010    Capitalized    Capitalized
Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio     17.99 %       16.50 %       17.47 %          17.30 %       15.84 %       16.79 %     4.00 %     6.00 %  
Total risk-based capital ratio     19.25 %       17.76 %       18.74 %         18.56 %       17.10 %       18.05 %     8.00 %     10.00 %  
Leverage ratio     13.55 %       11.90 %       13.02 %         13.04 %       11.43 %       12.51 %     4.00 %     5.00 %  
                                                                               
Total stockholders' equity   $    285,569       $    267,412       $    272,560         $    323,631       $    305,656       $    310,487                    

      Bancorp’s total risk-based capital ratio improved to 19.25% at June 30, 2011, from 18.74% at December 31, 2010, and 17.76% at June 30, 2010, while Bancorp's Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio increased to 17.99% at the most recent quarter end, from 17.47% at year end 2010 and 16.50% at June 30, 2010. These increases were due to the Company returning to profitability and a continued reduction in its total assets. The total risk-based capital ratio at the Bank improved to 18.56% at June 30, 2011, from 18.05% at year end 2010, and 17.10% at June 30, 2010, while the Bank’s Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio increased to 17.30% from 16.79% and 15.84% at those same dates. Additionally, the leverage ratio at the Bank improved to 13.04% at June 30, 2011, from 12.51% at year end 2010, and 11.43% a year ago.
 
      The total risk based capital ratios of Bancorp include $51.0 million of junior subordinated debentures which qualified as Tier 1 capital at June 30, 2011, under guidance issued by the Federal Reserve. As provided in the Dodd-Frank Act, which was signed into law on July 21, 2010, Bancorp expects to continue to rely on these junior subordinated debentures as part of its regulatory capital. However, at this point, Bancorp does not expect to issue additional junior subordinated debentures as any future issued junior subordinated debentures would not qualify as Tier 1 total capital under Dodd-Frank.
 
      Bancorp’s stockholders’ equity was $285.6 million at June 30, 2011, up from $272.6 million at year end 2010 and $267.4 million at June 30, 2010. While the Company has no immediate plans to raise additional capital, it may decide to do so at some time in the future. At such time, Bancorp may offer and issue qualifying equity or debt instruments. Any equity or debt financing, if available at all, may be dilutive to existing shareholders or include covenants or other restrictions that limit the Company’s activities.

Liquidity and Sources of Funds
 
      The Bank’s sources of funds include customer deposits, loan repayments, advances from the FHLB, maturities of investment securities, sales of “Available for Sale” securities, loan and OREO sales, net income, if any, loans taken out at the Reserve Bank discount window, and the use of Federal Funds markets. Scheduled loan repayments are a relatively stable source of funds, while deposit inflows, unscheduled loan prepayments, and loan and OREO sales are not. Deposit inflows, sales of securities, loan and OREO properties, and unscheduled loan prepayments may, amongst other factors, be influenced by general interest rate levels, interest rates available on other investments, competition, market and general economic conditions.
 
      Deposits are our primary source of funds, and at June 30, 2011, our loan to deposit ratio was 79%, unchanged from December 31, 2010, and a slight decline from 80% at June 30, 2010. Lower loan balances caused the collective balance of interest bearing deposits at the Reserve Bank and investment securities portfolio of $796.7 million to account for a significant 34% of total earning assets at June 30, 2011. In light of our substantial liquidity position, a portion of which is funded at a higher cost of funds than amounts being earned and therefore has an adverse impact on net interest income and operating results, we continued to reduce brokered, internet, and other time deposits during the most recent quarter.
 
      The following table summarizes the primary liquidity, on balance sheet liquidity, and net non-core funding dependency ratios. The primary liquidity ratio represents the sum of net cash, short-term and marketable assets and available borrowing lines divided by deposits. The on balance sheet consists of the sum of net cash, short-term and marketable assets divided by deposits. The net non-core funding dependency ratio is non-core liabilities less short-term investments divided by long-term assets. The Company s primary liquidity, on balance sheet liquidity, and net non-core funding dependency ratios remained strong at quarter end :
 
    June 30,   December 31,
        2011   2010
Primary liquidity   44 %       37 %
On balance sheet liquidity   25 %   15 %
Net non-core funding dependency   8 %   6 %

      At June 30, 2011, the Bank had outstanding borrowings of $168.6 million, against its $493.2 million in established borrowing capacity with the FHLB, as compared to $168.6 million outstanding against its $673.0 million in established borrowing capacity at December 31, 2010. The borrowing capacity at the FHLB declined from year end as the Company elected to hold a higher balance of unpledged securities. The Bank’s borrowing facility is subject to collateral and stock ownership requirements. The Bank also had an available discount window primary credit line with the Reserve Bank of approximately $40.2 million at June 30, 2011, with no balance outstanding at either June 30, 2011, or December 31, 2010. The Reserve Bank line is subject to collateral requirements.
 
      On December 15, 2009, Bancorp entered into a Written Agreement with the Reserve Bank and DFCS. For detailed discussion of the Written Agreement, see Item 1, “Business – Current Regulatory Actions” in our 2010 10-K . Under the Written Agreement, Bancorp may not directly or indirectly take dividends or other forms of payment representing a reduction in capital from the Bank without the prior written approval of the Reserve Bank and the DFCS. Also, under our Memorandum of Understanding, the Bank may not pay dividends to the holding company without the consent of the FDIC and the DFCS. At June 30, 2011, the holding company did not have any borrowing arrangements of its own.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
      At June 30, 2011, the Bank had commitments to extend credit of $563.0 million, which was down .2% compared to $571.6 million at December 31, 2010. For additional information regarding off balance sheet arrangements and future financial commitments, see Note 7 “Commitments and Contingent Liabilities” in the financial statements included under Item 1 of this report.
 
Critical Accounting Policies
 
      Management has identified as our most critical accounting policies, the calculation of our allowance for credit losses, valuation of OREO, and estimates relating to income taxes. Each of these policies are discussed in our 2010 10-K under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation – Critical Accounting Policies.”

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
      Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information the Company must disclose in its reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer (“CEO”) and chief financial officer (“CFO”), as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management has evaluated, with the participation and under the supervision of our CEO and CFO, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, our CEO and CFO have concluded that, as of such date, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that information relating to the Company, including its consolidated subsidiaries, required to be disclosed in reports that it files under the Exchange Act is (1) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (2) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
      There was no change in our internal controls over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II: OTHER INFORMATION
 
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
 
      On June 24, 2009, West Coast Trust was served with an Objection to Personal Representative's Petition and Petition for Surcharge of Personal Representative in Linn County Circuit Court. The petition was filed by the beneficiaries of the estate of Archie Q. Adams, for which West Coast Trust acts as the personal representative. The petitioners allege a breach of fiduciary duty with respect to West Coast Trust's prior sale of real property owned by the Adams estate and sought relief in the form of a surcharge to West Coast Trust of $215,573,115.60, the amount of the alleged loss to the estate. West Coast Trust filed a motion to dismiss on July 2, 2009, which was granted in a letter ruling dated September 15, 2009. Petitioners appealed and briefs have been filed. The Company believes the appeal and underlying petition are without merit.
