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

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation

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

The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and are unaudited. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. In the opinion of the Company's management, all adjustments consisting of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial condition and results of operations for the interim periods included herein have been made. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for future periods.

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

Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the Company's annual consolidated financial statements have been condensed or omitted. Therefore, these consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 (“2013 Form 10-K”), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 17, 2014.

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

Note 2 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-08, Financial Services - Investment Companies (Topic 946) - Amendments to the Scope, Measurement and Disclosure Requirements. ASU 2013-08 sets forth the characteristics of investment companies and a new approach for determining whether a company is an investment company. The fundamental characteristics of an investment company include (i) the company obtains funds from investors and provides the investors with investment management services; (ii) the company commits to its investors that its business purpose and only substantive activities are investing the funds for returns solely from capital appreciation, investment income, or both; and (iii) the company or its affiliates do not obtain or have the objective of obtaining returns or benefits from an investee or its affiliates that are not normally attributable to ownership interests or that are other than capital appreciation or investment income. ASU 2013-08 also sets forth the scope, measurement and disclosure requirements for investment companies. ASU 2013-08 became effective for the Company on January 1, 2014 and did not have a significant impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

Table of Contents

Note 3 – Earnings Per Share (“EPS”)

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

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

Management has evaluated these investments and has determined that the decline in value is not other than temporary and not related to the underlying credit quality of the issuers or an industry specific event. The declines in value are on investments that have contractual maturity dates and future principal payments that will be sufficient to recover the current amortized cost of the investments. The Company generally does not have the intent to sell these investments and it is likely that it will not be required to sell these investments before their anticipated recovery. However, during the first quarter of 2014, we sold $13.2 million of investments due to a significant increase in bond values during the quarter. While we sold the investments at a loss, we sold them to reduce the sensitivity of the portfolio and the impact of a possible further reduction in equity if the rally in the bond market ended before the merger with Cascade is completed.

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

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


13


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

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

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

As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, and based on the most recent analysis performed, the risk category of loans by class of loans was as follows (in thousands):

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

TDRs totaled $6.0 million and $8.6 million at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, and are included in the impaired loan disclosures in this footnote. Of these amounts, $713,000 and $848,000 were covered under loss sharing agreements with the FDIC at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The Company has allocated $200,000 of specific reserves to customers whose loan terms have been modified in TDRs at March 31, 2014, compared to $232,000 at December 31, 2013. There were no commitments to lend additional amounts to customers with outstanding loans that are classified as TDRs.

Modifications to loans not accounted for as TDRs totaled $81,000 at March 31, 2014, of which $34,000 was in the noncovered loan portfolio. These loans were not considered to be TDRs because the borrower was not under financial difficulty at the time of the modification or extension. Extensions are made at market rates as evidenced by comparison to newly originated loans of generally comparable credit quality and structure.

During the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company did not incur payment defaults on loans that had been modified within twelve months of those dates. A default on a TDR results in either a transfer to nonaccrual status or a charge-off. Additionally, during the three months ended March 31, 2014, there were no charge-offs on any TDRs.

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

The carrying amount of loans for which income is not being recognized on loans individually accounted for under ASC 310-30 totaled $784,000 and $1.8 million at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, which were purchased in the CFB Acquisition. At March 31, 2014, purchased credit impaired loans acquired in the LibertyBank Acquisition totaled $28.9 million.

The allowance for loan losses on loans accounted for under ASC 310-30 was $1.1 million and $1.3 million at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, provisions for loan losses on loans accounted for under ASC 310-30 totaled $0 and $295,000, respectively. Reductions in the allowance for loan losses on loans accounted for under ASC 310-30 due to increases in estimated cash flows totaled $219,000 and $0 during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Note 6 – Fair Value Measurement

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

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

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

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

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

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

Impaired Loans. The fair value of impaired loans is generally based on recent collateral appraisals if the loan is collateral-based or on a cash flow analysis if repayment of the loan is generally dependent on the cash flow of the borrower. The collateral appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Collateral appraisals on loans secured by one-to-four family residential properties are updated when the loan becomes 120 days past due, or earlier if circumstances indicate the borrower will be unable to repay the loan under the terms of the note. Additionally, appraisals are updated if the borrower requests a modification to their loan. On commercial real estate and multifamily loans, appraisals are updated upon a determination that the borrower will be unable to repay the loan according to the terms of the note or upon a notice of default, whichever is earlier. Appraisals are updated on all loan types immediately prior to a foreclosure sale and at least annually thereafter once the collateral title has been transferred to the Bank. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments are usually adjustments to the sales price of the comparable properties, as deemed appropriate by the appraiser, based on the age, condition, location or general characteristics of the subject property. If the income approach

22


is used by an appraiser, a discount rate or a “capitalization rate” is applied to estimated net operating income for the income producing property. This capitalization rate is applied to estimate the fair value of the property. Capitalization rates vary based on the type of property (e.g., office, warehouse, retail) and local market dynamics (e.g., population, employment, absorption or saturation of specific property types), among other factors.

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

The following table summarizes the Company’s financial assets that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, segregated by the level of the valuation inputs within the fair value hierarchy utilized to measure fair value (in thousands):

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

At March 31, 2014, impaired loans, which are measured for impairment using the fair value of the collateral, had a carrying amount of $3.4 million, with specific valuation allowances totaling $214,400. At December 31, 2013, impaired loans at fair value had a carrying amount of $3.7 million, net of specific allowances totaling $232,000. Included in the value of impaired loans presented above at March 31, 2014 was $1.8 million of loans that have been charged down to fair value. Provisions for loan losses associated with impaired loans carried at fair value was immaterial during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013.

REO is recorded at estimated fair value less costs to sell and had a carrying amount of $2.6 million at March 31, 2014, which was comprised of the outstanding balance of $3.7 million, with no valuation allowance. At December 31, 2013, REO measured at fair value less costs to sell had a carrying value of $1.3 million, which was comprised of the outstanding balance of $1.3 million, with no valuation allowance. The provision for declines in the value of REO totaled $12,000 and $95,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The provisions for the declines in the value of REO includes impairment on REO measured at fair value and REO properties sold during the periods.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Accrued Interest Payable. The carrying amount approximates fair value.

Off-Balance Sheet Instruments. Fair values of off-balance-sheet lending commitments are based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the borrower’s credit standing. The fair value of the fees at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 were insignificant.

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

Note 8 – Merger with Cascade Bancorp, Inc.

On October 23, 2013, the Company announced the signing of a definitive merger agreement (Cascade Agreement) with Cascade Bancorp (Cascade). Under the terms of the Cascade Agreement, Cascade will acquire the Company, subject to regulatory approval, approval by the stockholders of the Company and Cascade, and other customary conditions of closing. Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions of the Cascade Agreement, the transaction provides for the payment to Company shareholders of (i) $120.8 million in cash (subject to adjustment based on shareholders’ equity of the Company and other adjustments described in the Cascade Agreement) and (ii) 24,309,066 shares of Cascade common stock (subject to adjustment described in the Cascade Agreement). All “in-the-money” stock options of the Company outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the merger will be canceled in exchange for a cash payment as provided in the Cascade Agreement.  Each award of the Company's common stock subject to a vesting or lapse restriction under an equity compensation plan will be canceled and converted into the right to receive its proportionate share of the merger consideration. As soon as practicable after the consummation of the merger, the Bank will merge with and into Bank of the Cascades, an Oregon state chartered bank and the wholly-owned subsidiary of Cascade, with Bank of the Cascades surviving the merger. The merger with Cascade is expected to close in the second quarter of 2014.

Item 2.    Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Forward-Looking Statements and “Safe Harbor” statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995

This quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements, which can be identified by the use of words such as “believes,” “intends,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates” or similar expressions. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to:

statements of our goals, intentions and expectations;
statements regarding our business plans, prospects, growth and operating strategies;
statements regarding the quality of our loan and investment portfolios; and
estimates of our risks and future costs and benefits.

These forward-looking statements are subject to significant risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements due to, among others, the following factors:

the credit risks of lending activities, including changes in the level and trend of loan delinquencies and write-offs and changes in our allowance for loan losses and provision for loan losses that may be impacted by deterioration in the housing and commercial real estate markets;
changes in general economic conditions, either nationally or in our market areas;
changes in the levels of general interest rates, and the relative differences between short-term and long-term interest rates, deposit interest rates, our net interest margin and funding sources;

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

Background and Overview

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

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

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

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

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

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

At March 31, 2014, the Bank primarily operated in three distinct market regions including Boise, Idaho, and surrounding communities, which we refer to as the Idaho Region. The CFB Acquisition resulted in the Bank's entrance to the Tri-County Region of Central Oregon, including the counties of Crook, Deschutes and Jefferson. We refer to this market as the Central Oregon Region. In addition to deepening its presence in Central Oregon, as a result of the LibertyBank Acquisition the Bank also operates in Lane, Josephine, Jackson, and Multnomah counties in Oregon, including the communities of Eugene, Grants Pass and Medford, Oregon. We refer to these markets as our Western Oregon Region. At March 31, 2014, the Bank had 24 full-service branches and three loan production offices located in Portland and Bend, Oregon, and Salt Lake City, Utah.

On October 23, 2013, the Company announced the signing of a definitive merger agreement (Cascade Agreement) with Cascade Bancorp (Cascade). Under the terms of the Cascade Agreement, Cascade will acquire the Company, subject

29



to regulatory approval, approval by the stockholders of the Company and Cascade, and other customary conditions of closing. Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions of the Cascade Agreement, the transaction provides for the payment to Company shareholders of (i) $120.8 million in cash (subject to adjustment based on shareholders’ equity of the Company and other adjustments described in the Cascade Agreement) and (ii) 24,309,066 shares of Cascade common stock (subject to adjustment described in the Cascade Agreement). All “in-the-money” stock options of the Company outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the merger will be canceled in exchange for a cash payment as provided in the Cascade Agreement.  Each award of the Company's common stock subject to a vesting or lapse restriction under an equity compensation plan will be canceled and converted into the right to receive its proportionate share of the merger consideration. As soon as practicable after the consummation of the merger, the Bank will merge with and into Bank of the Cascades, an Oregon state chartered bank and the wholly-owned subsidiary of Cascade, with Bank of the Cascades surviving the merger. The merger with Cascade is expected to close in the second quarter of 2014.

The Company reported net income of $369,000, or $0.03 per diluted share, for the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to net income of $461,000, or $0.03 per diluted share, for the same period a year ago. The following items summarize key activities of the Company during the quarter ended March 31, 2014:

Net interest income declined $2.1 million and $528,000 compared to the linked quarter ended December 31, 2013, and the year-ago quarter ended March 31, 2013, respectively, due primarily to a decrease in accretable yield on purchased loans in the first quarter of 2014;
A reverse provision for loan losses of $(700,000) was recorded on noncovered originated loans, and a reverse provision of $(780,000) was recorded on covered loans during the quarter ended March 31, 2014, resulting in a net reverse provision of $(1.5) million;
Noninterest income during the quarter ended March 31, 2014, included impairment of the FDIC indemnification asset of $1.6 million. The impairment of the FDIC indemnification asset was $2.9 million in the linked quarter and $2.0 million in the year-ago quarter;
The Company realized a pre-tax loss on the sale of investments of $(681,000) during the first quarter of 2014, compared to a pre-tax gain of $254,000 in the year-ago quarter;
Noninterest expense decreased by $629,000 during the quarter ended March 31, 2014, compared to the year-ago quarter, and by $4.4 million compared to the linked quarter. Noninterest expenses during the fourth quarter of 2013 included $3.4 million of merger-related expenses compared to $184,000 in the first quarter of 2014;
Income tax provision was $300,000 in the first quarter of 2014 compared to $576,000 in the linked quarter as nearly all of the merger-related expenses incurred during the fourth quarter of 2013 were not deductible from taxable income;
Total assets decreased $23.4 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2014, to $979.0 million as net loans decreased $14.3 million;
Asset quality continued to improve as nonperforming assets declined $973,000 to $10.3 million at March 31, 2014;
The Company declared and paid its regular quarterly dividend of $0.06 per share; and
The Board of Directors of the Company authorized the repurchase and retirement of approximately 335,000 shares of the Company’s common stock from the unallocated reserve shares under the Home Federal 401(k) and Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“KSOP”) in order to extinguish the related exempt loan obligation of the KSOP and terminate the KSOP immediately prior to the effective time of the merger with Cascade. The repurchase of shares will not affect cash or total stockholders’ equity of the Company, but it will reduce the number of outstanding shares eligible for merger consideration. As a result, the Company estimates the aggregate consideration per share to shareholders after the repurchase will be approximately $0.38 per share higher than the illustrative examples of the merger consideration disclosed in the Proxy Statement.

Critical Accounting Estimates and Related Accounting Policies

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements. Changes in these estimates and assumptions are considered reasonably possible and may have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements, and thus actual results could differ from the amounts reported and disclosed herein. Management has identified several accounting policies that, due to the judgments, estimates and assumptions inherent in those policies, are critical to an understanding of the Company's consolidated financial statements. These policies relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses (including the evaluation of

30



impaired loans and the associated provision for loan losses), accounting for acquired loans and covered assets, the valuation of real estate owned, as well as deferred income taxes and the associated income tax expense.

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

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

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

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

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

Acquired Loans. Loans acquired in the CFB Acquisition were valued as of the acquisition date in accordance with SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations. At the time of the CFB Acquisition, the Company applied SFAS No. 141, which was superseded by SFAS No. 141(R). The Company was not permitted to adopt SFAS No. 141(R) prior to its effective date, which was October 1, 2009, due to the Company’s September fiscal year end at that time. ASC Topic 310-30 applies to a loan with evidence of deterioration of credit quality since origination, acquired by completion of a transfer for which it is probable, at acquisition, that the investor will be unable to collect all contractually required payments receivable. For loans purchased in the CFB Acquisition that were accounted for under ASC 310-30, management determined the value of the loan portfolio based on work provided by an appraiser. Factors considered in the valuation were projected cash flows for the loans, type of loan and related collateral, classification status and current discount rates. Management also estimated the amount of credit losses that were expected to be realized for the loan portfolio primarily by estimating the liquidation value of collateral securing loans on non-accrual status or classified as substandard or doubtful. Loans purchased in the CFB Acquisition accounted for under ASC 310-30 were not aggregated into pools and are accounted for on a loan-by-loan basis. An allowance for loan losses was established for loans purchased in the CFB Acquisition not accounted for under ASC 310-30.
Loans purchased in the LibertyBank Acquisition were valued as of the acquisition date in accordance with ASC 805 Business Combinations, formerly SFAS 141(R). Further, the Company elected to account for all other loans purchased

31



in the LibertyBank Acquisition within the scope of ASC 310-30 using the same methodology. Under ASC 805 and ASC 310-30, loans purchased in the LibertyBank Acquisition were recorded at fair value at the acquisition date, factoring in credit losses expected to be incurred over the life of the loan. Accordingly, an allowance for loan losses is not carried over or recorded as of the acquisition date, unlike the loans purchased in the CFB Acquisition, which are accounted for under previous guidance as described above. In situations where loans have similar risk characteristics, loans were aggregated into pools to estimate cash flows under ASC 310-30. A pool is accounted for as a single asset with a single interest rate, cumulative loss rate and cash flow expectation. The Company aggregated all of the loans purchased in the LibertyBank Acquisition into 22 different pools, based on common risk characteristics such as loan classification, loan structure, nonaccrual status and collateral type.

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

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

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

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

Noncovered Real Estate Owned. Real estate properties acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure that are not covered under a loss sharing agreement with the FDIC (noncovered REO) are initially recorded at fair value at the date of foreclosure minus estimated costs to sell, which establishes a new cost basis carrying value. Any valuation adjustments required at the time of foreclosure are charged to the allowance for loan losses. After foreclosure, the properties are carried at the lower of carrying value or fair value less estimated costs to sell. Any subsequent valuation adjustments,

32



operating expenses or income, and gains and losses on disposition of such properties are recognized in current operations. The Company generally updates REO appraisal information at least semi-annually.

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

COMPARISON OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AT MARCH 31, 2014 AND DECEMBER 31, 2013

Total assets decreased $23.4 million, or 2.3%, to $979.0 million at March 31, 2014, from December 31, 2013. Total liabilities decreased $26.5 million, or 3.2%, to $806.8 million.

Cash and Amounts Due From Depository Institutions. The $16.2 million increase in cash and cash equivalents to $123.2 million at March 31, 2014 from $107.0 million at December 31, 2013, was due to the sale of investments and loan payments, which was offset somewhat by declines in deposits during the quarter. We anticipate, subject to market conditions, that we will maintain higher than average liquidity due to the potential of rising interest rates.

Investments. Investments decreased $20.9 million, or 5.4% to $369.7 million at March 31, 2014 from $390.6 million at December 31, 2013. During the first quarter of 2014, we sold $13.2 million of investments due to a significant increase in bond values during the quarter. While we sold the investments at a loss, we sold them to reduce the sensitivity of the portfolio and the impact of a possible further reduction in equity if the rally in the bond market ended before the merger with Cascade is completed. The after-tax net unrealized loss on investments available-for-sale of $5.1 million at December 31, 2013, which is recorded in equity as accumulated other comprehensive income, improved to a net loss of $2.0 million at March 31, 2014. The increase in the fair value of our investments was related to the decrease in market interest rates during the first quarter of 2014.

Loans and Leases. Loans receivable, net, decreased $14.3 million to $393.1 million at March 31, 2014, from $407.5 million at December 31, 2013. Declines in nonperforming loans comprised $1.7 million of the reduction in net loans. One-to-four family residential loans declined $5.1 million, or 7.4% between December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2014. Real estate construction loans decreased $3.3 million, or 5.4%, between December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2014. One-to-four family residential construction decreased $1.3 million and multifamily residential construction decreased $1.4 million during the quarter while home equity loans declined $3.4 million to $34.1 million at March 31, 2014 from $37.5 million at December 31, 2013. Commercial business loans decreased $2.0 million or 5.8% to $33.3 million at March 31, 2014 from $35.4 million at December 31, 2013 partly due to the fact the loan and lease portfolio in the Bank's leasing subsidiary continues to decline as we wind-down operations in anticipation of closing the merger with Cascade. Loans and leases, net, in the Bank's leasing subsidiary totaled $436,000 at March 31, 2014, compared to $902,000 at December 31, 2013.

Allowance for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses was $8.1 million at March 31, 2014, compared to $9.0 million at December 31, 2013. The allowance for loan losses on the noncovered loan portfolio was 1.76% of noncovered loans at March 31, 2014, with only $214,000 of the $6.1 million allowance for losses on noncovered loans specifically-allocated to impaired noncovered loans. During the three months ended March 31, 2014 we experienced net recoveries of $75,000 on noncovered loans and $434,000 on covered loans.
Loans delinquent 30 to 89 days and still accruing interest totaled $730,000 at March 31, 2014, compared to $1.3 million at December 31, 2013. Nonperforming assets, which include nonaccrual loans and REO, totaled $10.3 million at

33



March 31, 2014, compared to $11.2 million at December 31, 2013. Nonperforming noncovered loans totaled $3.7 million at March 31, 2014, compared to $4.1 million at December 31, 2013. Total nonperforming loans declined $1.7 million from December 31, 2013 to March 31, 2014.

We have seen significant declines in the amount of our classified loans as well. The following table details the balances of criticized and classified loans during the last four quarters (in thousands):

Declining balances of loans combined with continued improvement in asset quality metrics (including declines in criticized, classified and nonperforming loans, net recoveries during the first quarter of 2014 and fiscal year 2013, and the absence of meaningful charge-offs since the year ended September 30, 2011) has resulted in reverse provisions for loan losses during the three months ended March 31, 2014, thereby reducing the balance of the allowance for loan losses.

We consider the allowance for loans losses at March 31, 2014, to be our best estimate of probable incurred losses inherent in the loan portfolio as of that date based on the assessment of the above-mentioned factors affecting the loan portfolio. While we believe the estimates and assumptions used in the determination of the allowance are reasonable, there can be no assurance that such estimates and assumptions will not be proven incorrect in the future, or that the actual amount of future provisions will not exceed the amount of past provisions or that any increased provision that may be required will not adversely impact our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, the determination of the amount of our allowance for loan losses is subject to review by bank regulators, as part of the routine examination process, which may result in the establishment of additional reserves based upon their judgment of information available to them at the time of their examination.

FDIC Indemnification Asset. As part of the purchase and assumption agreements for the acquisitions, we entered into shared-loss agreements with the FDIC. These agreements cover realized losses and certain related expenses on covered assets purchased from the FDIC. The decrease in the FDIC indemnification receivable to $2.9 million at March 31, 2014 compared to $4.9 million at December 31, 2013, was primarily due to the net reduction in estimated future losses on covered assets, which caused impairment charges of $1.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2014, and the obligation of the Bank to remit a portion of the recoveries received on covered loans during the three months ended March 31, 2014, to the FDIC. The impairment in the FDIC indemnification asset is recognized in noninterest income.

The loss sharing agreements will expire five years after the acquisition date for non-single family covered assets and ten years after the acquisition date for single-family covered assets. Nearly all of the assets remaining in the covered asset portfolios qualify as non-single family covered assets. Therefore, most of the covered assets will no longer be indemnified after September 2014 for assets purchased in the CFB Acquisition and September 2015 for assets purchased in the LibertyBank Acquisition.

Real Estate and Other Repossessed Assets. REO increased $708,000 to $5.5 million at March 31, 2014 from $4.8 million at December 31, 2013 due to transfers to REO of $1.1 million, partially offset by REO sales and provisions. Covered REO totaled $4.1 million at March 31, 2014, compared to $3.6 million at December 31, 2013. Noncovered REO totaled $1.4 million at March 31, 2014, compared to $1.2 million at December 31, 2013.

Deferred taxes, net, decreased to $14.9 million at March 31, 2014, from $16.8 million at December 31, 2013, primarily due to the improvement in the fair value of investments available-for-sale. At December 31, 2013, the investment portfolio, which is recorded at fair value, carried an unrealized loss of $8.3 million compared to an unrealized loss of $3.2 million at March 31, 2014. As a result, the deferred tax asset on the unrealized loss decreased during the period.

Deposits. Deposits decreased $23.5 million, or 2.9%, to $795.0 million at March 31, 2014, from $818.5 million at December 31, 2013, primarily through the reduction of certificates of deposit. The following table details the changes in total deposit accounts (dollars in thousands):

Since market interest rates remain very low and our liquidity remains high, we have reduced our deposit rates to continue to reduce certificates of deposit and our cost of funds. As a result, certificates of deposit declined $8.9 million since December 31, 2013, to $159.6 million at March 31, 2014. Core deposits at March 31, 2014 decreased $14.6 million compared to December 31, 2013. Core deposits comprised 79.9% of the deposit portfolio at March 31, 2014, compared to 79.4% at December 31, 2013.

Equity. Stockholders’ equity increased $3.2 million to $172.2 million at March 31, 2014, from $169.0 million at December 31, 2013. The primary reason for the increase was other comprehensive income of $3.1 million, which includes the unrealized gain or loss, net of taxes, on investments available-for-sale. The decrease in market interest rates and the related increase in the fair value of investments, caused accumulated other comprehensive income to be a net loss of $2.0 million at March 31, 2014, compared to a net loss of $5.1 million at December 31, 2013. Net income of $369,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2014, partially offset $853,000 of dividends paid to shareholders during that period.

COMPARISON OF OPERATING RESULTS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2014 AND 2013

General. Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2014, was $369,000, or $0.03 per diluted share, compared to net income of $461,000, or $0.03 per diluted share, for the same period in 2013. Net interest margin increased slightly to 4.17% during the quarter ended March 31, 2014, from 4.16% during the quarter ended March 31, 2013. The Company's yield on earning assets decreased to 4.44% in the quarter ended March 31, 2014, from 4.50% during the quarter ended March 31, 2013.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income decreased $528,000, or 5.3%, to $9.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, from $10.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The decrease in net interest income was primarily attributable to a decrease in accretable income on purchased loans, partially offset by a higher yield on investment securities and a decline in interest expense on deposits. Net interest income also decreased in part due to a $4.9 million decline in the average balance of loans receivable during the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2013.

Interest and Dividend Income. Total interest and dividend income for the three months ended March 31, 2014, decreased $734,000, or 6.8%, to $10.1 million, from $10.9 million for the same period in 2013. The decrease was primarily attributable to a lower yield on earning assets, compounded by a decrease in average interest-earning assets during the 2014 period. Average interest-earning assets decreased $52.4 million to $913.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2014 from $966.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2013, primarily due to the decline in investments and loans. This decline in average interest-earning assets was furthered by a slight decrease in the yield on earning assets to 4.44% during the first quarter of 2014 as compared to 4.50% during the same period in 2013.

Net interest margin is significantly enhanced by accretable income on purchased loans from the acquisitions. This additional income stems from the discount established at the time these loan portfolios were acquired and the related impact of prepayments on purchased loans. Each quarter, the Company analyzes the cash flow assumptions on loan pools purchased in the LibertyBank Acquisition and, at least semi-annually, the Company updates loss estimates, prepayment speeds and other variables when analyzing cash flows. In addition to this accretion income, which is recognized over the estimated life of the loan pools, if a loan is removed from a pool due to payoff or foreclosure, the unaccreted discount in excess of losses is recognized as an accretion gain in interest income. As a result, income from loan pools can be volatile from quarter to quarter. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company experienced prepayments on pooled loans and recoveries on previously charged-off loans, which resulted in accretion gains, although less so than in the linked and year-ago quarters.

Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased $206,000, or 25.4% to $606,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to $812,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013. Average interest-bearing liabilities decreased $56.6 million between these periods to $649.9 million, and our cost of funds decreased to 0.37% for the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to 0.46% for the same period in 2012.

The decline in average deposits during the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to the same period in 2013, was due to maturities of certificates of deposit and a decline in money market account balances. Due to our high cash and investments balances, the low interest rate environment, and weak loan demand from creditworthy borrowers, the need for additional funding through certificates has been muted; therefore, we reduced our rates on deposits throughout 2012 and 2013, which caused balances of certificates of deposit to decline and our cost of funds to decrease.

Approximately $101.4 million of certificates of deposit are scheduled to mature within twelve months of March 31, 2014.

Provision for Loan Losses. As a result of improved asset quality, including lower balances of delinquent and classified loans, strong recoveries on previously charged-off loans and the absence of significant charge-offs, a net reverse provision for loan losses of $(1.5) million was recorded in connection with our analysis of losses in the loan portfolio for the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to reverse provisions for loan losses of $(227,000) for the same period in 2013. The net reverse provision during the three months ended March 31, 2014, included a $(700,000) reverse provision on noncovered loans and a $(780,000) net provision on covered loans. The impact of shared-loss agreements on the reverse provision for loan losses on covered loans during the three months ended March 31, 2014, is recorded as a decrease to the FDIC indemnification asset and a decrease in noninterest income, which totaled $739,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2014. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, we recorded reverse provisions for loan losses on covered loans of $(2,000).

Noninterest Income. Noninterest income decreased $1.4 million, to $(870,000) for the three months ended March 31, 2014 from $498,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013. Excluding the impact of the indemnification asset on noninterest income, noninterest income declined $1.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the same period in 2013.

Noninterest income includes pre-tax losses on the sales of investments during the three months ended March 31, 2014, of $681,000, compared to gains of $254,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The largest portion of the loss in the current quarter was recognized on the sale of our long-term U.S. Treasury bond.

The “FDIC indemnification recovery (provision)” represents the amount expected from the FDIC under loss sharing agreements due to incremental provisions for loan losses in the current period or the impairment (reduction) in the expected amounts to be recovered from the FDIC due to a negative provision in the current period. “Impairment of the FDIC indemnification asset” generally relates to the reduction in the amounts previously estimated to be received from the FDIC as a result of decreases in estimated losses on covered loans. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, impairment of the FDIC indemnification asset totaled $1.6 million compared to $2.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. While reductions in estimated losses may cause impairment of the FDIC indemnification asset, interest income on loans generally is increased due to transfers from nonaccretable yield to accretable yield as expected cash flows are higher than previously estimated. The Company amortizes the impairment of the FDIC indemnification asset over the period that covered assets are subject to the loss sharing agreements with the FDIC while accretable yield is recorded over the estimated life of the loan. Therefore, a mismatch in timing between the recognition of accretable yield and impairment of the FDIC indemnification asset could negatively affect the Company's results of operations.

Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense decreased $629,000, or 6.2%, to $9.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to $10.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2013, as we experienced declines in nearly every category of noninterest expense as a result of branch closures and continued operating efficiency initiatives.

Compensation and benefits decreased $403,000 or 6.7% to $5.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 from $6.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 primarily due to fewer employees in 2014 as a result of branch closures that occurred in the first quarter of 2013 and departures of employees upon the announcement of the

38



pending merger with Cascade. All other categories of expenses were $226,000 in the aggregate lower during the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2013.

Income Tax Provision. The income tax provision from continuing operations during the three months ended March 31, 2014 was $300,000 based on pre-tax income from operations of $669,000, which equates to an effective rate of 44.84%. Some of the merger-related expenses recorded during 2014 are not deductible from taxable income, resulting in a high effective tax rate. This compares to an income tax provision from continuing operations of $222,000 based on pre-tax income of $683,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013.

Liquidity, Commitments and Capital Resources

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

We measure our liquidity based on our current and projected ability to fund assets growth and to meet liability obligations when they come due. Liquidity (and funding) risk occurs when funds cannot be raised at reasonable prices, or in a reasonable time frame, to meet our normal or unanticipated obligations. We regularly monitor the mix of our assets and our liabilities to effectively manage our liquidity and funding requirements. We believe our current liquidity position is sufficient to fund existing commitments. We currently maintain cash flow and liquidity above the minimum level believed to be adequate to meet the requirements of normal operations, including potential deposit outflows.

Certificates of deposit scheduled to mature in one year or less at March 31, 2014, totaled $101.4 million, which represented 63.5% of our certificates in our deposit portfolio at March 31, 2014. Since loan demand has slowed and in order to reduce our cost of funds, we have been reluctant to offer rates in excess of wholesale borrowing costs. This has resulted in expected deposit runoff at a higher pace than the Bank has historically experienced. Nonetheless, we believe the Company has adequate resources to fund loan and other commitments through growth in core deposits, FHLB advances, loan repayments and maturing investment securities.

The Bank is approved to borrow at the Discount Window of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco and could use that facility as a funding source to meet commitments and for liquidity purposes. The Bank also holds a $25.0 million line of credit with a third-party bank. There were no funds drawn on the Discount Window or the line of credit at March 31, 2014.

We also had the ability at March 31, 2014, to borrow $80.9 million from FHLB of Seattle. We had no borrowed funds on this line at March 31, 2014; however, we are dependent on the FHLB of Seattle to provide the primary source of wholesale funding for immediate liquidity and borrowing needs. The failure of the FHLB of Seattle or the FHLB system in general may materially impair our ability to meet our growth plans or to meet short and long term liquidity demands. However, our mortgage-backed securities are marketable and could be sold to obtain cash to meet liquidity demands should our access to FHLB funding be impaired.

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

39



represent future cash requirements. We use the same credit policies in making commitments as we do for on-balance sheet instruments. Collateral is not required to support commitments.

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

Capital. Consistent with our goal to operate a sound and profitable financial organization, we actively seek to maintain a “well capitalized” institution in accordance with regulatory standards. The Company's consolidated capital ratios at March 31, 2014 were as follows: Tier 1 capital of 16.55%; Tier 1 (core) risk-based capital of 36.64%; and total risk-based capital of 37.90%. The applicable regulatory capital requirements to be considered well capitalized are 5%, 6% and 10%, respectively. The Bank's regulatory capital ratios at March 31, 2014 were as follows: Tier 1 capital of 11.85%; Tier 1 (core) risk-based capital of 26.46%; and total risk-based capital of 27.71%. As of March 31, 2014, the Bank also exceeded all regulatory capital requirements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

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

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

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

Reduced our reliance on long-term, fixed-rate one-to-four family residential loans by originating nearly all of these loans for sale in the secondary market or through referrals to third party origination brokers and subsequently ceasing originations of these loans in December 2011;
Increased originations of adjustable-rate commercial and commercial real estate loans;
Acquisitions of banking operations with a higher mix of commercial loans than our organic portfolio; and,

40



Reduced our reliance on higher-rate certificates of deposit and FHLB borrowings by focusing on core deposit growth, including checking and savings accounts, that are less-sensitive to interest rate changes and have longer average lives than certificates of deposit.

At March 31, 2014, the Company had no off-balance sheet derivative financial instruments, and the Company did not maintain a trading account for any class of financial instruments or engage in hedging activities or purchase high risk derivative instruments. Furthermore, the Company is not subject to foreign currency exchange rate risk or commodity price risk.

There has not been any material change in the market risk disclosures contained in the Company's 2013 Form 10-K.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

An evaluation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and other members of the Company's management team as of the end of the period covered by this report. The Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of March 31, 2014, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Act is (i) accumulated and communicated to the Company's management (including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer) in a timely manner, and (ii) recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms.

(b) Changes in Internal Controls.

There have been no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting (as defined in 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2014, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

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