NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Columbia Banking System, Inc.
1. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies
(a) Basis of Presentation
The interim unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for condensed interim financial information and with instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain financial information and footnotes have been omitted or condensed. The consolidated condensed financial statements include the accounts of Columbia Banking System, Inc. (the Company), and its wholly owned banking subsidiary Columbia State Bank (the Bank). All intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented have been included. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of results to be anticipated for the year ending December 31, 2010. The accompanying interim unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes contained in the Companys 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior-periods financial statements to conform to the current periods presentation.
(b) Significant Accounting Policies
The significant accounting policies used in preparation of our consolidated financial statements are disclosed in our 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K. With the exception of the significant accounting policies listed below, there have not been any other changes in our significant accounting policies compared to those contained in our 2009 10-K disclosure for the year ended December 31, 2009.
Loans
The Companys accounting methods for loans differ depending on whether the loans were originated or were acquired as a result of a business acquisition.
Originated Loans
Loans are generally carried at principal amounts less net deferred loan fees. Net deferred loan fees include deferred unamortized origination fees less direct incremental origination costs. Net deferred loan fees are amortized into interest income over the contractual life of the related loans. Interest income is accrued as earned. Fees related to lending activities other than the origination or purchase of loans are recognized as noninterest income during the period the related services are performed.
Loans are placed on nonaccrual status when a loan becomes contractually past due 90 days with respect to interest or principal unless the loan is both well secured and in the process of collection, or if full collection of interest or principal becomes uncertain. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, the accrued and unpaid interest receivable is reversed and the accretion of net deferred loan fees ceases. Thereafter, interest collected on the loan is accounted for on the cash collection or cost recovery method until qualifying for return to accrual status. Generally, a loan may be returned to accrual status when the delinquent principal and interest are brought current in accordance with the terms of the loan agreement and future payments are reasonably assured.
Loans are considered impaired when based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. The assessment for impairment occurs when and while such loans are designated as criticized/classified per the Companys internal risk rating system or when and while such loans are on nonaccrual. All nonaccrual loans greater than $250,000 are considered impaired and analyzed individually on a quarterly basis. Criticized/classified loans with an outstanding balance greater than $250,000 are evaluated for potential impairment on a quarterly basis.
When a loan with unique risk characteristics has been identified as being impaired, the amount of impairment will be measured by the Company using discounted cash flows, except when it is determined that the primary (remaining) source of repayment for the loan is the operation or liquidation of the underlying collateral. In these cases, the current fair value of the collateral, reduced by costs to sell, will be used in place of discounted cash flows. As a final alternative, the observable market price of the debt may be used to assess impairment. Predominantly, the Company uses the fair value of collateral approach based upon a reliable valuation.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
Columbia Banking System, Inc.
When the measurement of the impaired loan is less than the recorded amount of the loan, an impairment is recognized by recording a charge-off to the allowance for loan and lease losses or by designating a specific reserve. The Companys policy is to record cash receipts received on impaired loans first as reductions to principal and then to interest income.
Unfunded loan commitments are generally related to providing credit facilities to clients of the Bank, and are not actively traded financial instruments.
Acquired Loans
Loans acquired in a business acquisition after December 31, 2008 are recorded at their fair value at 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.
Loans purchased with evidence of credit deterioration since origination for which it is probable that all contractually required payments will not be collected are accounted for under Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 310-30, Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality, formerly SOP 03-3 Accounting for Certain Loans or Debt Securities Acquired in a Transfer. In situations where such loans have similar risk characteristics, loans are aggregated into pools to estimate cash flows. The Company aggregated all of the loans acquired in the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC)-assisted acquisitions into pools, based on common risk characteristics. A pool is accounted for as a single asset with a single interest rate, cumulative loss rate and cash flow expectation. Expected cash flows at the acquisition date in excess of the fair value of loans are considered to be accretable yield, which is recognized as interest income over the life of the loan pool using a level yield method if the timing and amount of the future cash flows of the pool is reasonably estimable. Subsequent to the acquisition date, any increases in cash flow over those expected at purchase date in excess of fair value are recorded as interest income prospectively. Any subsequent decreases in cash flow over those expected at 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 loan pool at the carrying amount. The Company elected to account for all acquired loans under ASC 310-30.
Covered Assets and Related FDIC Indemnification Asset
Assets subject to loss-sharing agreements with the FDIC are labeled covered on the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet and include certain loans and other real estate owned (OREO).
All OREO acquired in FDIC-assisted acquisitions are subject to FDIC loss-sharing agreements and are referred to as covered OREO. Covered OREO is reported exclusive of expected reimbursement cash flows from the FDIC. Upon transferring covered loan collateral to covered OREO status, acquisition date fair value discounts on the related loan are also transferred to covered OREO. Fair value adjustments on covered OREO result in a reduction of the covered OREO carrying amount and a corresponding increase in the expected FDIC reimbursement, with the estimated net loss to the Company, if any, charged against earnings.
The acquisition date fair value of the reimbursement the Company expected to receive from the FDIC under those agreements was recorded in the FDIC indemnification asset on the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet. Subsequent to the acquisition the indemnification asset is tied to the loss in the covered loans and covered OREO and is not being accounted for under fair value. The FDIC indemnification asset is accounted for on the same basis as the related covered loans and covered OREO and is the present value of the cash flows the Company expects to collect from the FDIC under the loss-sharing agreements. The difference between the present value and the undiscounted cash flow the Company expects to collect from the FDIC is accreted 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 projected increase in cash flows of the loans over those expected will result in a decrease in the accretion for the FDIC indemnification asset recognized in noninterest income. Any projected decrease in cash flows of the loans over those expected will result in an increase in the FDIC indemnification asset with a corresponding benefit recorded to the provision for loan and lease losses.
Core Deposit Intangible
Core Deposit Intangible (CDI) is a measure of the value of non-interest checking, savings, NOW and money market deposits that are acquired in a business combination. The fair value of the CDI stemming from any given business combination is based on the present value of the expected cost savings attributable to the core deposit funding, relative to an alternative source of funding. The CDI related to the Columbia River Bank and American Marine Bank acquisitions will be

amortized over an estimated useful life of 10 years to approximate the existing deposit relationships acquired. The Company evaluates such identifiable intangibles for impairment when an indication of impairment exists.
2. Accounting Pronouncements Recently Issued
In July 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2010-20, an amendment of Receivables Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses (Topic 310). ASU 2010-20 attempts to provide financial statement users with greater transparency about an entitys allowance for credit losses and the credit quality of its financing receivables. The objective of the amendments in this update is for an entity to provide disclosures that facilitate financial statement users evaluation of the following:
1. | the nature of credit risk inherent in the entitys portfolio of financing receivables, |
2. | how that risk is analyzed and assessed in arriving at the allowance for credit losses and |
3. | the changes and reasons for those changes in the allowance for credit losses. |
In addition to existing requirements, the amendments in this update require an entity to provide the following additional disclosures about its financing receivables:
1. | credit quality indicators of financing receivables at the end of the reporting period by class of financing receivables, |
2. | the aging of past due financing receivables at the end of the reporting period by class of financing receivables, |
3. | the nature and extent of troubled debt restructurings that occurred during the period by class of financing receivables and their effect on the allowance for credit losses, |
4. | the nature and extent of financing receivables modified as troubled debt restructurings within the previous 12 months that defaulted during the reporting period by class of financing receivables and their effect on the allowance for credit losses and |
5. | significant purchases and sales of financing receivables during the reporting period disaggregated by portfolio segment. |
The new guidance will become effective in the first interim or annual period ending on or after December 15, 2010. The new guidance will not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
In April 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-18, an amendment of Receivables Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality (Topic 310-30). ASU 2010-18 attempts to eliminate diversity in practice related to loan modifications. Modifications of loans within a pool of loans accounted for as a single asset do not result in the removal of those loans from the pool even if the modification of those loans would otherwise be considered a troubled debt restructuring. The entity will continue to be required to consider whether the pool of assets in which the loans are included is impaired if expected cash flows for the pool change. The new guidance became effective in the first reporting period ending on or after July 15, 2010 and is to be applied prospectively. The Company was already in compliance with the amendments of this topic prior to the release of ASU 2010-18. The new guidance did not have an impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820), which focuses on Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurement. ASU 2010-06 requires new disclosures about transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and the activity in Level 3 fair value measurements (i.e. purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements). ASU 2010-06 also amended disclosure requirements related to the level of disaggregation of assets and liabilities, as well as disclosures about input and valuation techniques used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. The new guidance became effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements and did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years.
3. Earnings per Common Share
Basic EPS is computed by dividing income applicable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Common shares outstanding include common stock and vested restricted stock awards where recipients have satisfied the vesting terms. Diluted EPS reflects the assumed conversion of all dilutive securities, applying the treasury stock method. The Company calculates earnings per share using the two-class method as described in the Earnings per Share topic of the FASB ASC.

4. Business Combinations
Columbia River Bank
On January 22, 2010 the Bank acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of Columbia River Bank from the FDIC in an FDIC-assisted transaction. As part of the Purchase and Assumption Agreement, the Bank and the FDIC entered into loss-sharing agreements (each, a loss-sharing agreement and collectively, the loss-sharing agreements), whereby the FDIC will cover a substantial portion of any future losses on loans (and related unfunded loan commitments), OREO and certain accrued interest on loans. We refer to the acquired loans and OREO subject to the loss-sharing agreements collectively as covered assets. Under the terms of the loss-sharing agreements, the FDIC will absorb 80% of losses and share in 80% of loss recoveries on the first $206 million on covered assets and absorb 95% of losses and share in 95% of loss recoveries exceeding $206 million. The loss-sharing agreements for commercial and single family residential mortgage loans are in effect for five years and ten years, respectively, from the January 22, 2010 acquisition date and the loss recovery provisions for such loans are in effect for eight years and ten years, respectively, from the acquisition date.
The Bank acquired tangible assets with an acquisition date fair value of approximately $885.3 million, including $480.3 million of loans, an FDIC indemnification asset of $143.6 million, $100.7 million of investment securities, $98.1 million of cash and cash equivalents and $62.6 million of other assets. The Bank assumed liabilities with an acquisition date fair value of approximately $912.9 million, including $893.4 million of insured and uninsured deposits, $18.4 million of Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) advances and $1.1 million of other liabilities. Columbia River Bank was a full service commercial bank headquartered in The Dalles, Oregon that operated 21 branch locations, including 14 in the state of Oregon and seven in the State of Washington. We made this acquisition to expand our geographic footprint.
The assets acquired and liabilities assumed have been accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting (formerly the purchase method). The assets and liabilities, both tangible and intangible, were recorded at their estimated fair values as of the January 22, 2010 acquisition date. The application of the acquisition method of accounting resulted in the recognition in $14.1 million of goodwill and a core deposit intangible of $13.4 million. The goodwill represents the excess of the estimated fair value of the liabilities assumed over the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and is influenced significantly by the FDIC-assisted transaction process. All of the goodwill and core deposit intangible assets recognized are deductible for income tax purposes.
The operating results of the Company for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 include the operating results produced by the acquired assets and assumed liabilities for the period January 23, 2010 to September 30, 2010. Due primarily to the Company acquiring only certain assets and liabilities of Columbia River Bank, the significant amount of fair

value adjustments and the FDIC loss-sharing agreements now in place, historical results of Columbia River Bank are not meaningful to the Companys results and thus no pro forma information is presented.
On April 22, 2010, the Company notified the FDIC of its intent to purchase fourteen branch buildings from the Columbia River Bank Receivership. The fourteen branch buildings have an aggregate appraised value of $15.8 million. Additionally, the Company accepted leases on nine former branch and administrative locations of Columbia River Bank.

American Marine Bank
On January 29, 2010, the Bank acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of American Marine Bank from the FDIC, which had been appointed receiver of the institution. As part of the Purchase and Assumption Agreement, the Bank and the FDIC entered into loss-sharing agreements whereby the FDIC will cover a substantial portion of any future losses on loans (and related unfunded loan commitments), OREO and certain accrued interest on loans. Under the terms of the loss-sharing agreements, the FDIC will absorb 80% of losses and share in 80% of loss recoveries on the first $66 million on covered assets and absorb 95% of losses and share in 95% of loss recoveries exceeding $66 million. The loss-sharing agreements for commercial and single family residential mortgage loans are in effect for five years and ten years, respectively, from the January 29, 2010 acquisition date and the loss recovery provisions for such loans are in effect for eight years and ten years, respectively, from the acquisition date.
The Bank acquired tangible assets with an acquisition date fair value of approximately $303.5 million, including $176.3 million of loans, an FDIC indemnification asset of $66.8 million, $28.6 million of investment securities, $14.5 million of cash and cash equivalents and $17.3 million of other assets. The Bank assumed liabilities with an acquisition date fair value of approximately $292.6 million, including $254.0 million of insured and uninsured deposits, $37.7 million of FHLB advances and $974 thousand of other liabilities. American Marine Bank was a full service commercial bank headquartered on Bainbridge Island, Washington that operated 11 branch locations in western Washington. In addition, as part of this acquisition, the Bank received regulatory approval to exercise trust powers and intends to continue to operate the Trust and Wealth Management Division of American Marine Bank. We made this acquisition to expand our geographic footprint.
The assets acquired and liabilities assumed have been accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting. The assets and liabilities, both tangible and intangible, were recorded at their estimated fair values as of the January 29, 2010 acquisition date. The application of the acquisition method of accounting resulted in the recognition of a bargain purchase gain of $9.8 million, which is included in the Gain on bank acquisition line item in the Consolidated Condensed Statements

of Income, and a core deposit intangible of $4.3 million. The transaction resulted in a bargain purchase gain as the fair value of assets acquired exceeded the fair value of liabilities assumed.
The operating results of the Company for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 include the operating results produced by the acquired assets and assumed liabilities for the period January 30, 2010 to September 30, 2010. Due primarily to the Company acquiring only certain assets and liabilities of American Marine Bank, the significant amount of fair value adjustments and the FDIC loss-sharing agreements now in place, historical results of American Marine Bank are not meaningful to the Companys results and thus no pro forma information is presented.
On April 22, 2010, the Company notified the FDIC of its intent to purchase four branch buildings from the American Marine Bank Receivership. The four branch buildings have an aggregate appraised value of $7.4 million. Additionally, the Company accepted leases on six former branch locations of American Marine Bank.

The following is a description of the methods used to determine the fair values of the significant assets and liabilities presented above for both the Columbia River Bank and American Marine Bank acquisitions.
Cash and cash equivalents - Cash and cash equivalents include cash and due from banks, interest-earning deposits with banks and the Federal Reserve Bank (FRB) and federal funds sold. Cash and cash equivalents have a maturity of 90 days or less at the time of purchase. The fair value of financial instruments that are short-term or re-price frequently and that have little or no risk are considered to have a fair value equal to carrying value.
Investment securities - The fair value for each purchased security was the quoted market price at the close of the trading day effective on the acquisition dates.
Federal Home Loan Bank stock - The fair value of acquired FHLB stock was estimated to be its redemption value, which is also the par value. The FHLB requires member banks to purchase its stock as a condition of membership and the amount of FHLB stock owned varies based on the level of FHLB advances outstanding. This stock is generally redeemable and is presented at the par value.
Loans - We refer to certain loans acquired in the Columbia River Bank and American Marine Bank acquisitions as covered loans as we will be reimbursed for a substantial portion of any future losses on them under the terms of the FDIC loss-sharing agreements. The estimated fair value of the loan portfolios at the acquisition dates represents the discounted expected cash flows from the portfolio. In estimating such fair value, we (a) calculated the contractual amount and timing of
10
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
Columbia Banking System, Inc.
undiscounted principal and interest payments (the undiscounted contractual cash flows) and (b) 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 Columbia River Bank and American Marine Bank loan portfolios at the acquisition dates.
In calculating expected cash flows, management made several assumptions regarding prepayments, collateral cash flows, the timing of defaults and the loss severity of defaults. Other factors expected by market participants were considered in determining the fair value of acquired loans, including loan pool level estimated cash flows, type of loan and related collateral, risk classification status (i.e. performing or nonperforming), fixed or variable interest rate, term of loan and whether or not the loan was amortizing and current discount rates.
Other real estate owned - OREO is presented at its estimated fair value based on discounted expected cash flows and is also subject to the FDIC shared-loss agreements. Cash flows were estimated using expected selling price and date, less selling and carrying costs and were discounted to present value.
Goodwill - Goodwill represents the excess of the estimated fair value of the liabilities assumed over the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and is influenced significantly by the FDIC-assisted transaction process.
Core deposit intangible - In determining the estimated life and fair value of the core deposit intangible, deposits were analyzed based on factors such as type of deposit, deposit retention, interest rates, and age of the deposit relationships. Based on this valuation, the core deposit intangible asset will be amortized over the projected useful lives of the related deposits on an accelerated basis over 10 years.
FDIC indemnification asset - The FDIC indemnification asset is measured separately from each of the covered asset categories as it is not contractually embedded in any of the covered asset categories. For example, the FDIC indemnification asset related to estimated future loan losses is not transferable should we sell a loan prior to foreclosure or maturity. The fair value of the FDIC indemnification asset represents the present value of the estimated cash payments (net of amount owed to the FDIC) expected to be received from the FDIC for future losses on covered assets based on the credit adjustment on estimated cash flows for each covered asset pool and the loss-sharing percentages. The ultimate collectability of the FDIC indemnification asset is dependent upon the performance of the underlying covered loans, the passage of time and claims paid by the FDIC.
Deposit liabilities - The fair values used for demand and savings deposits are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair values for time deposits are estimated using a discounted cash flow method that applies interest rates currently being offered on time deposits to a schedule of aggregated contractual maturities of such time deposits.
Borrowings - The fair values for FHLB advances are estimated using a discounted cash flow method based on the current market rates.

The unrealized losses on the above securities are primarily attributable to increases in market interest rates subsequent to their purchase by the Company. Management does not intend to sell any impaired securities nor does available evidence suggest it is more likely than not that management will be required to sell any impaired securities. The Companys securities portfolio does not include any private label mortgage backed securities or investments in trust preferred securities. Management believes the nature of securities in the Companys investment portfolio present a very high probability of collecting all contractual amounts due, as the majority of the securities held are backed by government agencies or government-sponsored enterprises. However, this recovery in value may not occur for some time, perhaps greater than the one-year time horizon or perhaps even at maturity.

At September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Company had no loans to foreign domiciled businesses or foreign countries, or loans related to highly leveraged transactions. The majority of the Companys loans and loan commitments are geographically concentrated in its service areas within the states of Washington and Oregon. At September 30, 2010, the Company had $1.5 million in Small Business Administration (SBA) loans pledged as collateral for SBA-secured borrowings.
As of the acquisition dates, we estimated the fair value of the Columbia River Bank and American Marine Bank loan portfolios at $480.3 million and $176.3 million, respectively, which represents the expected cash flows from the portfolio discounted at market-based rates. In estimating such fair value, we (a) calculated the contractual amount and timing of the undiscounted principal and interest payments (the undiscounted contractual cash flows); and (b) estimated the amount and timing of the 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 lives of the loans. The difference between the undiscounted contractual cash flows and the undiscounted expected cash flows is referred to as the non-accretable difference. The non-accretable difference represents an estimate of credit risk in the covered loan portfolios on the acquisition dates. On the acquisition dates, the preliminary estimate of the undiscounted contractual principal and interest payments for the covered loans acquired in the Columbia River Bank and American Marine Bank acquisitions were $799.8 million and $259.6 million, respectively. The accretable yields were approximately $101.1 million and $21.6 million, respectively, and the non-accretable differences were $217.9 million and $65.5 million, respectively. The expected cash flows at acquisition date, which is the undiscounted contractual principal and interest payments, less the non-accretable differences were $581.9 million and $194.1 million, respectively.

FDIC indemnification asset - As of the acquisition dates, we recorded an FDIC indemnification asset consisting of the present value of the amounts the Company expects to receive from the FDIC under the loss-sharing agreements. The FDIC indemnification asset was $166.7 million at September 30, 2010. The decrease in the indemnification asset since the acquisitions of Columbia River Bank and American Marine Bank included $2.4 million and $6.4 million of accretion into income for the three and nine months, respectively, ended September 30, 2010. Additionally, because of higher cash flows from principal amortization, partial prepayments, and loan payoffs during this timeframe, the Company reduced the indemnification asset by $6.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and recorded the adjustment as a reduction of noninterest income. The remainder of the change in the indemnification asset was due to charge-offs and losses on covered assets, which are primarily recoverable from the FDIC under the loss-sharing agreements and recorded in other assets.

Covered loans acquired in the Columbia River Bank and American Marine Bank acquisitions are also subject to the Banks internal and external credit review. Covered loans are accounted for under ASC Topic 310-30, and initially measured at fair value based on expected future cash flows over the lives of the loans. Over the life of the covered loan pools, management continues to monitor and estimate expected future cash flows on a quarterly basis. If expected future cash flows decline, a provision is recorded for estimated covered loan losses. During the quarter ended September 30, 2010, the Company recorded a provision expense of $453 thousand on covered loans accounted for under ASC 310-30 as a result of a decrease in expected future cash flows. If expected cash flows on covered loans increase, subsequent to a loss provision being recorded, the loss provision will be reversed with any additional increases in expected cash flows made as an adjustment from non-accretable difference to accretable yield. No such reversal occurred for the periods presented.

At September 30, 2010, $22.1 million of impaired loans had a specific valuation allowance of $3.8 million. At December 31, 2009, $18.1 million of impaired loans had a specific valuation allowance of $3.8 million.
8. Changes in Other Real Estate Owned
At September 30, 2010 OREO was $40.3 million, which included $17.0 million of covered OREO acquired in the FDIC-assisted acquisitions of Columbia River Bank and American Marine Bank. The acquired OREO is covered by loss-sharing agreements with the FDIC in which the FDIC will assume 80% of additional write-downs and losses on covered OREO sales, or 95% of additional write-downs and losses on covered OREO sales if the minimum loss share threshold has been met (see note 4 for threshold amounts).

9. Goodwill and Intangible Assets
In accordance with the Intangibles Goodwill and Other topic of the FASB ASC, goodwill is not amortized but is reviewed for potential impairment at the reporting unit level during the third quarter on an annual basis and between annual tests in certain circumstances such as material adverse changes in legal, business, regulatory and economic factors. An impairment loss is recorded to the extent that the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value. The Company completed its annual goodwill impairment test during the current quarter and determined the fair value of the Companys single reporting unit exceeded its carrying value.
The core deposit intangible CDI is evaluated for impairment if events and circumstances indicate a possible impairment. The CDI is amortized on an accelerated basis over an estimated life of approximately 10 years.

10. Shareholders Equity
Preferred Stock. On August 11, 2010, the Company redeemed all 76,898 shares of Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A (Preferred Stock) originally issued to the U.S. Department of Treasury (the Treasury) on November 21, 2008 for approximately $76.9 million in capital under its Capital Purchase Program (CPP). The Company paid a total of $77.8 million to the Treasury, consisting of $76.9 million in principal and $919 thousand in accrued and unpaid dividends. Earnings available to the common shareholders were reduced by $2.3 million upon repayment of the Preferred Stock, which represented the remaining unamortized discount on the Preferred Stock. Additionally, on September 1, 2010, the Company repurchased the common stock warrant issued to the Treasury pursuant to the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) CPP for $3.3 million. The warrant repurchase, together with the Companys redemption of its entire Preferred Stock issued to the Treasury, represents full repayment of all TARP obligations and cancellation of all equity interests in the Company held by the Treasury.
Common Stock. On January 28, 2010, the Company declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.01 per share, payable on February 24, 2010 to shareholders of record as of the close of business February 10, 2010.

12. Fair Value Accounting and Measurement
The Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures topic of the FASB ASC defines fair value, establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure requirements about fair value. We hold fixed and variable rate interest-bearing securities, investments in marketable equity securities and certain other financial instruments, which are carried at fair value. Fair value is determined based upon quoted prices when available or through the use of alternative approaches, such as matrix or model pricing, when market quotes are not readily accessible or available.
The valuation techniques are based upon observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect our own market assumptions. These two types of inputs create the following fair value hierarchy:
Level 1 Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date.
Level 2 Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable.
17
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
Columbia Banking System, Inc.
Level 3 Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.
Fair values are determined as follows:
Securities at fair value are priced using matrix pricing based on the securities relationship to other benchmark quoted prices, and under the provisions of the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures topic of the FASB ASC are considered a Level 2 input method.
Interest rate contract positions are valued in models, which use as their basis, readily observable market parameters and are classified within level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.
The following table sets forth the Companys financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis at September 30, 2010 by level within the fair value hierarchy. Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement:

Certain assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis after initial recognition such as loans measured for impairment and OREO. The following methods were used to estimate the fair value of each such class of financial instrument:
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 by the fair market value of the collateral less estimated costs to sell.
Other real estate owned - OREO is real property that the Bank has taken ownership of in partial or full satisfaction of a loan or loans. OREO is recorded at the lower of the carrying amount of the loan or fair value less estimated costs to sell. This amount becomes the propertys new basis. Any write-downs based on the property fair value less estimated cost to sell at the date of acquisition are charged to the allowance for loan and lease losses. Management periodically reviews OREO in an effort to ensure the property is carried at the lower of its new basis or fair value, net of estimated costs to sell. Any write-downs subsequent to acquisition are charged to earnings.

13. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Because broadly traded markets do not exist for most of the Companys financial instruments, the fair value calculations attempt to incorporate the effect of current market conditions at a specific time. These determinations are subjective in nature, involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and do not include tax ramifications; therefore, the results cannot be determined with precision, substantiated by comparison to independent markets and may not be realized in an actual sale or immediate settlement of the instruments. There may be inherent weaknesses in any calculation technique, and changes in the underlying assumptions used, including discount rates and estimates of future cash flows, could significantly affect the results. For all of these reasons, the aggregation of the fair value calculations presented herein do not represent, and should not be construed to represent, the underlying value of the Company.
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 due from banks and interest-earning deposits with banks - The fair value of financial instruments that are short-term or reprice frequently and that have little or no risk are considered to have a fair value that approximates carrying value.
Securities available for sale - The fair value of all investment securities are based upon the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the security. Such assumptions include observable and unobservable inputs such as quoted market prices, dealer quotes and discounted cash flows.
Federal Home Loan Bank stock - The fair value is based upon the par value of the stock which equates to its carrying value.
Loans - Originated Loans - Loans are not recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Nonrecurring fair value adjustments are periodically recorded on impaired loans that are measured for impairment based on the fair value of collateral. See Note 12, Fair Value Accounting and Measurement. For most performing loans, fair value is estimated using expected duration and lending rates that would have been offered on September 30, 2010 for loans which mirror the attributes of the loans with similar rate structures and average maturities. Commercial loans and construction loans, which are variable rate and short-term are reflected with fair values equal to carrying value. The fair values resulting from these calculations are reduced by an amount representing the change in estimated fair value attributable to changes in borrowers credit quality since the loans were originated. For nonperforming loans, fair value is estimated by applying a valuation discount based upon loan sales data from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Acquired Loans Fair value of loans acquired in FDIC-assisted transactions was estimated by applying a valuation discount derived from recent loan sales data and based upon similar loan collateral and performance characteristics.
FDIC indemnification asset - The FDIC indemnification asset is considered to have a fair value that approximates carrying value.
Interest rate contracts - Interest rate swap positions are valued in models, which use as their basis, readily observable market parameters.
Deposits - For deposits with no contractual maturity, the fair value is equal to the carrying value. The fair value of fixed maturity deposits is based on discounted cash flows using the difference between the deposit rate and current market rates for deposits of similar remaining maturities.
FHLB and FRB borrowings - The fair value of FHLB advances and FRB borrowings are estimated based on discounting the future cash flows using the market rate currently offered.
Repurchase Agreements - The fair value of securities sold under agreement to repurchase are estimated based on discounting the future cash flows using the market rate currently offered.
Long-term subordinated debt - The fair value of long-term subordinated debt are estimated based on discounting the future cash flows using an estimated market rate.
Other Financial Instruments - The majority of our commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit carry current market interest rates if converted to loans, as such, carrying value is assumed to equal fair value.

14. Derivatives and Hedging Activities
The Company periodically enters into certain commercial loan interest rate swap agreements in order to provide commercial loan customers the ability to convert from variable to fixed interest rates. Under these agreements, the Company enters into a variable-rate loan agreement with a customer in addition to a swap agreement. This swap agreement effectively converts the customers variable rate loan into a fixed rate. The Company then enters into a corresponding swap agreement with a third party in order to offset its exposure on the variable and fixed components of the customer agreement. As the interest rate swap agreements with the customers and third parties are not designated as hedges under the Derivatives and Hedging topic of the FASB ASC, the instruments are marked to market in earnings.
The following table presents the fair value of derivative instruments at September 30, 2010 and 2009:

Termination of Hedging Activities: On January 7, 2008, the Company discontinued its three prime rate floor derivative instruments that were previously utilized to hedge the variable cash flows associated with existing variable-rate loan assets based on the prime rate. The Company received $8.1 million as a result of the termination transaction resulting in a net derivative gain of $6.2 million. The interest rate floors had an original maturity date of April 4, 2011. In accordance with the Derivatives and Hedging topic of the FASB ASC, the net derivative gain related to a discontinued cash flow hedge continues to be reported in accumulated other comprehensive income and is reclassified into earnings in the same periods during which the originally hedged forecasted transactions affect earnings. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, $335 thousand and $1.5 million, respectively of the net derivative gain was reclassified into earnings.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Earnings Summary
The Company reported net income for the third quarter of $5.2 million and $2.5 million in net income applicable to common shareholders or $0.06 per diluted common share, compared to a net loss of $1.5 million and a $2.6 million net loss applicable to common shareholders or $(0.11) per diluted common share for the third quarter of 2009. Net income applicable to common shareholders for the third quarter of 2010 is net of the Preferred Stock dividend of $427 thousand and the redemption of the Preferred Stock resulting in the recognition of the remaining $2.3 million of the Preferred Stock discount. The increase in net income from the prior year period was primarily attributable to the $15.8 million increase in revenue (net interest income plus noninterest income) coupled with the $7.5 million decline in the provision for loan and lease losses partially offset by a $10.4 million increase in noninterest expense. Return on average assets and return on average common
22
equity were 0.47% and 1.39%, respectively, for the third quarter of 2010, compared with returns of (0.19)% and (2.56)%, respectively for the same period of 2009.
The Company reported net income for the first nine months of $18.2 million and $13.2 million in net income applicable to common shareholders or $0.38 per diluted common share, compared to a net loss of $5.5 million and an $8.8 million net loss applicable to common shareholders or $(0.45) per diluted common share for the first nine months of 2009. Net income applicable to common shareholders for the first nine months of 2010 is net of the Preferred Stock dividend of $2.3 million, the accretion of the Preferred Stock discount totaling $300 thousand and recognizing the remaining $2.3 million of the Preferred Stock discount as a result of redeeming the entire Preferred Stock issued to the Treasury. The increase in net income from the prior year period was primarily attributable to the $9.8 million pre-tax gain on the acquisition of American Marine Bank in the first quarter and a $11.0 million decline in the provision for loan losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Return on average assets and return on average common equity were 0.58% and 2.97%, respectively, for the first nine months of 2010, compared with returns of (0.24)% and (3.23)%, respectively for the same period of 2009.
Revenue (net interest income plus noninterest income) for the three months ended September 30, 2010 was $52.1 million, 44% higher than the same period in 2009. The increase was primarily a result of higher net interest income driven by the accretion of income on acquired loans and noninterest income driven by the acquisitions of Columbia River Bank and American Marine Bank.
Revenue (net interest income plus noninterest income) for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was $162.9 million, 53% higher than the same period in 2009. The increase was primarily a result of higher net interest income driven by the accretion of income on acquired loans and noninterest income driven by the acquisitions of Columbia River Bank and American Marine Bank, including the $9.8 million pre-tax gain on the acquisition of American Marine Bank.
Total noninterest expense in the quarter ended September 30, 2010 was $33.5 million, a 45% increase from the third quarter of 2009. The increase was primarily due to the addition of operating expenses of Columbia River Bank and American Marine Bank in January 2010.
Total noninterest expense in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was $102.2 million, a 43% increase from the first nine months of 2009. The increase was primarily due to the addition of operating expenses of Columbia River Bank and American Marine Bank in January 2010.
The provision for loan and lease losses for the third quarter of 2010 was $9.0 million compared with $16.5 million for the third quarter of 2009. The provision reflects managements continuing evaluation of the loan portfolios credit quality, which is affected by a broad range of economic metrics. Additional factors affecting the provision include, but are not limited to, net-loan charge-offs, non-accrual loans, specific reserves and risk-rating migration. The provision increased the Companys total allowance for loan and lease losses to 3.22% of loans, excluding covered loans at September 30, 2010 from 2.66% at year-end 2009 and 2.50% at the end of the third quarter 2009. Net charge-offs for the current quarter were $6.4 million compared to $13.7 million for the third quarter of 2009.
The provision for loan and lease losses for the first nine months of 2010 was $37.5 million compared with $48.5 million for the first nine months of 2009. Net charge-offs for the first nine months of 2010 were $28.6 million compared to $39.6 million for the first nine months of 2009.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Our results of operations are dependent to a large degree on our net interest income. We also generate noninterest income through service charges and fees, merchant services fees, and bank owned life insurance. Our operating expenses consist primarily of compensation and employee benefits, occupancy, merchant card processing, data processing and legal and professional fees. Like most financial institutions, our interest income and cost of funds are affected significantly by general economic conditions, particularly changes in market interest rates, and by government policies and actions of regulatory authorities.

Net Interest Income
Net interest income is the difference between interest income (which includes yield-related loan fees) and interest expense. Net interest income on a fully taxable-equivalent basis expressed as a percentage of average total interest-earning assets is referred to as the net interest margin. The following tables set forth the components of net interest income on a fully taxable-equivalent basis for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009.

Net interest income is impacted by the volume (changes in volume multiplied by prior rate), interest rate (changes in rate multiplied by prior volume) and mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. The following tables set forth the total dollar amount of change in net interest income on a fully taxable-equivalent basis due to volume and rate between the third quarter and first nine months of 2010 and 2009. Changes attributable to the combined effect of volume and interest rates have been allocated proportionately to the changes due to volume and the changes due to interest rates:

The Companys net interest margin increased to 5.24% in the third quarter of 2010, up from 4.34% for the prior-year period. The net interest margin in the third quarter was positively impacted by the $7.2 million of discount accretion on our acquired loan portfolios. The net interest margin was negatively affected by larger levels of interest-earning cash invested at lower yields. We continue to seek investment opportunities to reduce our level of overnight funds invested at those lower yields.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Companys net interest margin increased to 4.90%, up from 4.34% for the prior-year period. As discussed above, the net interest margin was positively impacted by the $8.2 million of discount accretion on our acquired loan portfolios.
Provision for Loan and Lease Losses
During the third quarter of 2010, the Company recorded $9.0 million to its provision for loan and lease losses, compared to $16.5 million for the same period in 2009. The provision increased the Companys total allowance for loan losses to 3.22% of net loans, excluding covered loans at September 30, 2010.
Provision for Losses on Covered Loans
During the third quarter of 2010, the Company recorded a non-cash net impairment charge of $453 thousand for FDIC-covered loans. The provision expense is primarily a result of a decrease in projected cash flows due to the Companys revised estimate of the timing of cash flow receipts. The third quarter revision of the cash flow receipts is based on the results of managements review of the credit quality of the covered loans and the analysis of the loan performance data since the acquisition of the covered loans. The Company will continue updating cash flow projections on the covered loans on a quarterly basis.
Noninterest Income
Noninterest income was $5.2 million for the third quarter of 2010, compared to $7.2 million for the prior-year period. The decrease was primarily due to the $4.5 million net change in the indemnification asset. This reduction was related to higher cash flows received from principal amortization, partial prepayments, and loan payoffs. The decrease in the
27
indemnification asset was partially offset by an increase in service charges and other fees of $2.7 million primarily resulting from the addition of Columbia River Bank and American Marine Bank operations.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, noninterest income increased $15.7 million or 74%, compared to the first nine months of 2009. The increase was primarily due to the $9.8 million pre-tax gain on the American Marine Bank acquisition, and an increase of $7.4 million in service charges and other fees primarily resulting from the impact of the normal operations of Columbia River Bank and American Marine Bank.
Noninterest Expense
Total noninterest expense for the third quarter of 2010 was $33.5 million, an increase of 45% from $23.1 million for the same quarter in 2009. Additionally, total noninterest expense for the first nine months of 2010 was $102.2 million, an increase of 43% from $71.6 million for the first nine months of 2009. The increase was primarily due to the addition of operating expenses of Columbia River Bank and American Marine Bank in January 2010.

In managing our business, we review the efficiency ratio, on a fully taxable-equivalent basis, which is not defined in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Our efficiency ratio [noninterest expense, excluding net cost of operation of OREO divided by the sum of net interest income and noninterest income on a tax equivalent basis, excluding gain/loss on sale of investment securities, proceeds from redemption of Visa and Mastercard shares, gain on bank acquisition, incremental income accretion on the acquired loan portfolio and the change in FDIC indemnification asset] was 68.33% for the third quarter 2010 and 68.32% for the first nine months of 2010, compared to 60.85% for the third quarter 2009 and 62.72% for the first nine months of 2009, respectively. The efficiency ratio increased due to increased expenses associated with managing our problem assets, increased regulatory premiums and expenses resulting from our FDIC-assisted transactions.
Income Taxes
We recorded an income tax provision of $4.0 million and $4.6 million for the third quarter and the first nine months of 2010, compared with a benefit of $1.8 million and $7.9 million for the same periods in 2009. Our effective tax rate remains lower than the statutory tax rate due to our nontaxable income generated from tax-exempt municipal bonds, investments in bank owned life insurance, and low income housing credits. For additional information, please refer to the Companys annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.
Credit Risk Management
The extension of credit in the form of loans or other credit products to individuals and businesses is one of our principal business activities. Our policies and applicable laws and regulations require risk analysis as well as ongoing portfolio and credit management. We manage our credit risk through lending limit constraints, credit review, approval policies, and extensive, ongoing internal monitoring. We also manage credit risk through diversification of the loan portfolio by type of loan, type of industry, type of borrower and by limiting the aggregation of debt limits to a single borrower. In analyzing our existing portfolio, we review our consumer and residential loan portfolios by their performance as a pool of loans since no single loan is individually significant or judged by its risk rating, size, or potential risk of loss. In contrast, the monitoring process for the commercial business, private banking, real estate construction, and commercial real estate portfolios includes periodic reviews of individual loans with risk ratings assigned to each loan and performance judged on a loan by loan basis. We review these loans to assess the ability of the borrower to service all of its interest and principal obligations and, as a result, the risk rating may be adjusted accordingly. In the event that full collection of principal and interest is not reasonably assured, the loan is appropriately downgraded and, if warranted, placed on nonaccrual status even though the loan may be current as to principal and interest payments. Additionally, we review these types of loans for impairment in accordance with the Receivables topic of the FASB ASC. Impaired loans are considered for nonaccrual status
29
and will typically remain as such until all principal and interest payments are brought current and the prospects for future payments in accordance with the loan agreement appear relatively certain.
Loan policies, credit quality criteria, portfolio guidelines and other controls are established under the guidance of our Chief Credit Officer and approved, as appropriate, by the Board. Credit Administration, together with the loan committee, has the responsibility for administering the credit approval process. As another part of its control process, we use an independent internal credit review and examination function to provide assurance that loans and commitments are made and maintained as prescribed by our credit policies. This includes a review of documentation when the loan is initially extended and subsequent monitoring to assess continued performance and proper risk assessment.
We have diversification of loan types within our portfolio. However, we are not immune to either the current instability in the residential real estate markets and mortgage-related industries or the increasing economic stress in the commercial market. Accordingly, we will continue to be diligent in our risk management practices and maintain, what we believe, are adequate reserves for probable loan losses.
Loan Portfolio Analysis
We are a full service commercial bank, originating a wide variety of loans, but concentrating our lending efforts on originating commercial business and commercial real estate loans.

Total loans increased $486.4 million, or 24%, from year-end 2009. The increase in total loans was driven primarily by FDIC-assisted acquisitions of Columbia River Bank and American Marine Bank. Although the acquisitions of Columbia River and American Marine Banks increased our loan portfolio by $656.6 million, the credit risk associated with the acquired loans was substantially mitigated by the loss-sharing agreements with the FDIC. Total noncovered loans decreased $74.7 million, or 4%, from December 31, 2009. This decrease was attributable to low loan demand due to current business and economic conditions.
Commercial Loans: We are committed to providing competitive commercial lending in our primary market areas. Management expects a continued focus within its commercial lending products and to emphasize, in particular, relationship banking with businesses, and business owners.
30
Real Estate Loans: These loans are used to collateralize outstanding advances from the FHLB. Residential loans are secured by properties located within our primary market areas, and typically have loan-to-value ratios of 80% or lower.
Generally, commercial and five-or-more family residential real estate loans are made to borrowers who have existing banking relationships with us. Our underwriting standards generally require that the loan-to-value ratio for these loans not exceed 75% of appraised value, cost, or discounted cash flow value, as appropriate, and that commercial properties maintain debt coverage ratios (net operating income divided by annual debt servicing) of 1.2 or better. However, underwriting standards can be influenced by competition and other factors. We endeavor to maintain the highest practical underwriting standards while balancing the need to remain competitive in our lending practices.
Real Estate Construction Loans: We originate a variety of real estate construction loans. One-to-four family residential construction loans are originated for the construction of custom homes (where the home buyer is the borrower) and to provide financing to builders for the construction of pre-sold homes and speculative residential construction. Underwriting guidelines for these loans vary by loan type but include loan-to-value limits, term limits and loan advance limits, as applicable.
Our underwriting guidelines for commercial and five-or-more family residential real estate construction loans generally require that the loan-to-value ratio not exceed 75% and stabilized debt coverage ratios (net operating income divided by annual debt servicing) of 1.2 or better. As noted above, underwriting standards can be influenced by competition and other factors. However, we endeavor to maintain the highest practical underwriting standards while balancing the need to remain competitive in our lending practices.
Consumer Loans: Consumer loans include automobile loans, boat and recreational vehicle financing, home equity and home improvement loans and miscellaneous personal loans.
Foreign Loans: Our banking subsidiaries are not involved with loans to foreign companies or foreign countries.
Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses
We maintain an allowance for loan and lease losses (ALLL) to absorb losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The size of the ALLL is determined through quarterly assessments of the probable estimated losses in the loan portfolio. Our methodology for making such assessments and determining the adequacy of the ALLL includes the following key elements:
1. | General valuation allowance consistent with the Contingencies topic of the FASB ASC. |
2. | Criticized/classified loss reserves on specific relationships. Specific allowances for identified problem loans are determined in accordance with the Receivables topic of the FASB ASC. |
3. | The unallocated allowance provides for other credit losses inherent in our loan portfolio that may not have been contemplated in the general and specific components of the allowance. This unallocated amount generally comprises less than 1.5% of the allowance. The unallocated amount is reviewed periodically based on trends in credit losses, the results of credit reviews and overall economic trends. |
On a quarterly basis our Chief Credit Officer reviews with Executive Management and the Board of Directors the various additional factors that management considers when determining the adequacy of the ALLL, including economic and business condition reviews. Factors which influenced managements judgment in determining the amount of the additions to the ALLL charged to operating expense include the following as of the applicable balance sheet dates:
1. | Existing general economic and business conditions affecting our market place |
2. | Credit quality trends, including trends in nonperforming loans |
3. | Collateral values |
4. | Seasoning of the loan portfolio |
5. | Bank regulatory examination results |
6. | Findings of internal credit examiners |
7. | Duration of current business cycle |
The ALLL is increased by provisions for loan and lease losses (provision) charged to expense, and is reduced by loans charged off, net of recoveries. While we believe the best information available is used by us to determine the ALLL, changes in market conditions could result in adjustments to the ALLL, affecting net income, if circumstances differ from the assumptions used in determining the ALLL.
31
In addition to the ALLL, we maintain an allowance for unfunded loan commitments and letters of credit. We report this allowance as a liability on our Consolidated Balance Sheet. We determine this amount using estimates of the probability of the ultimate funding and losses related to those credit exposures. This methodology is similar to the methodology we use for determining the adequacy of our ALLL. For additional information on our allowance for unfunded loan commitments and letters of credit, see Note 7 to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.
At September 30, 2010, our allowance for noncovered loan and lease losses was $62.3 million, or 3.22% of total noncovered loans and 64% of nonperforming, noncovered loans and 51% of nonperforming, noncovered assets. This compares with an allowance of $51.7 million, or 2.50% of the total loan portfolio, 48% of nonperforming loans and 41% of nonperforming assets at December 31, 2009.
At September 30, 2010, our allowance for covered loan losses was $453 thousand, or 0.08% of the total covered loan pools. Covered loans accounted for under ASC 310-30 are generally considered accruing and performing as the loans accrete interest income over the estimated lives of the loans when cash flows are reasonably estimable. Accordingly, covered impaired loans contractually past due are still considered to be accruing and performing loans. The loans acquired in the Columbia River Bank and American Marine Bank acquisitions are also subject to the Banks internal and external credit review and are accounted for under ASC Topic 310-30. Covered loans are initially measured at fair value based on expected future cash flows over the lives of the loans, which management continues to monitor and estimate on a quarterly basis. If expected future cash flows decline, a provision is recorded for estimated cash flow losses on covered loans. If expected cash flows on covered loans increase, subsequent to a loss provision being recorded, the loss provision will be reversed with any additional increases in expected cash flows made as an adjustment from non-accretable difference to accretable yield.
