BANK OF MARIN BANCORP

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Introductory Explanation

References in this report to “Bancorp” mean the Bank of Marin Bancorp as the parent holding company for Bank of Marin, the wholly-owned subsidiary (the “Bank”). References to “we,” “our,” “us” mean the holding company and the Bank that are consolidated for financial reporting purposes.

Note 1:  Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Bancorp and its only wholly-owned bank subsidiary, the Bank. All material intercompany transactions have been eliminated. In the opinion of Management, the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly our financial position, results of operations, changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows. All adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. Management has evaluated subsequent events through the date of filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and has determined that there are no subsequent events that require recognition or disclosure.

Certain information and footnote disclosures presented in the annual financial statements are not included in the interim consolidated financial statements.  Accordingly, the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K.  The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.

The following table shows: 1) weighted average basic shares, 2) potential common shares related to stock options, non-vested restricted stock and stock warrant, and 3) weighted average diluted shares. Net income available to common stockholders is calculated as net income reduced by dividends accumulated on preferred stock and amortization of discounts on the preferred stock. Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) are calculated by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period.  Diluted EPS are calculated using the weighted average diluted shares. The number of potential common shares included in quarterly diluted EPS is computed using the average market prices during the three months included in the reporting period. For year-to-date diluted EPS, the number of potential common shares included in the denominator is determined by computing a year-to-date weighted average of the number of potential common shares included in each quarterly diluted EPS computation. Our calculation of weighted average shares includes two classes of our outstanding common stock: common stock and unvested restricted stock awards. Holders of restricted stock awards receive non-forfeitable dividends at the same rate as common stockholders and they both share equally in undistributed earnings.

Note 2: Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In July 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-20, Receivables (Topic 310): Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses. The ASU amends FASB Accounting Standards Codification™ (the “Codification” or “ASC”) Topic 310, Receivables, to improve the disclosures about the credit quality of an entity’s financing receivables and the related allowance for credit losses. As a result of these amendments, an entity is required to disaggregate, by portfolio segment or class of financing receivable, certain existing disclosures and provide certain new disclosures about its financing receivables and related allowance for credit losses.

Existing disclosures are amended to require an entity to provide the following disclosures about its financing receivables on a disaggregated basis:

(1) A rollforward schedule of the allowance for credit losses from the beginning of the reporting period to the end of the reporting period on a portfolio segment basis, with the ending balance further disaggregated on the basis of the impairment method;

(2) For each disaggregated ending balance in item (1) above, the related recorded investment in financing receivables;

(3) The nonaccrual status of financing receivables by class of financing receivables;

(4) Impaired financing receivables by class of financing receivables.

The amendments in the ASU also 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 twelve 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 segments.

The disclosures as of the end of a reporting period will be effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending on or after December 15, 2010. The disclosures about activity that occurs during a reporting period will be effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2010. As this ASU is disclosure-related only, we do not expect it to have an impact on our financial condition or results of operations.

In April 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-18, Receivables (Topic 310): Effect of a Loan Modification When the Loan Is Part of a Pool That Is Accounted for as a Single Asset. This ASU codifies the consensus reached in Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 09-I, “Effect of a Loan Modification When the Loan Is Part of a Pool That Is Accounted for as a Single Asset.” The amendments to the Codification provide that modifications of loans that are accounted for within a pool under Subtopic 310-30 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. An entity will continue to be required to consider whether the pool of assets in which the loan is included is impaired if expected cash flows for the pool change. ASU 2010-18 does not affect the accounting for loans under the scope of Subtopic 310-30 that are not accounted for within pools. Loans accounted for individually under Subtopic 310-30 continue to be subject to the troubled debt restructuring accounting provisions within Subtopic 310-40.

ASU 2010-18 is effective prospectively for modifications of loans accounted for within pools under Subtopic 310-30 occurring in the first interim or annual period ending on or after July 15, 2010. Early application is permitted. Upon initial adoption of ASU 2010-18, an entity may make a one-time election to terminate accounting for loans as a pool under Subtopic 310-30. This election may be applied on a pool-by-pool basis and does not preclude an entity from applying pool accounting to subsequent acquisitions of loans with credit deterioration.  We do not expect this ASU to have a significant impact on our financial condition or results of operations.

On April 16, 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-13, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Effect of Denominating the Exercise Price of a Share-Based Payment Award in the Currency of the Market in Which the Underlying Equity Security Trades. The ASU codifies the consensus reached in EITF Issue No. 09-J. The amendments to the Codification clarify that an employee share-based payment award with an exercise price denominated in the currency of a market in which a substantial portion of the entity’s equity shares trades should not be considered to contain a condition that is not a market, performance, or service condition. Therefore, an entity would not classify such an award as a liability if it otherwise qualifies as equity. As our current share-based payment awards are equity awards (exercise price is denominated in dollars in the U.S. where our stock is traded), this ASU does not have an impact on our financial condition or results of operations.

On February 24, 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-09, Subsequent Events (Topic 855): Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements. The amendments in this ASU remove the requirement for an SEC filer to disclose a date through which subsequent events have been evaluated in both issued and revised financial statements. Revised financial statements include financial statements revised as a result of either correction of an error or retrospective application of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The FASB believes these amendments remove potential conflicts with the SEC’s literature. All of the amendments in the ASU were effective upon issuance.

In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements. This ASU requires: (1) disclosure of the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurement categories and the reasons for the transfers; and (2) separate presentation of purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the reconciliation for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). In addition, ASU 2010-06 clarifies the requirements of the following existing disclosures set forth in the Codification Subtopic 820-10: (1) For purposes of reporting fair value measurement for each class of assets and liabilities, a reporting entity needs to use judgment in determining the appropriate classes of assets and liabilities; and (2) a reporting entity should provide disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and non-recurring fair value measurements. ASU 2010-06 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning January 1, 2010, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements, which are effective for fiscal years beginning January 1, 2011, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. As ASU 2010-06 is disclosure-related only, our adoption of this ASU in the first quarter of 2010 did not impact our financial condition or results of operations.

Note 3:  Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities

Fair Value Hierarchy and Fair Value Measurement

We group our assets and liabilities that are recorded at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value. These levels are:

Level 1: Valuations are based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Since valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market, valuation of these products does not entail a significant degree of judgment.

Level 2: Valuations are based on quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active and model-based valuations for which all significant assumptions are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3: Valuations are based on unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Values are determined using pricing models and discounted cash flow models and include management judgment and estimation which may be significant.

The following table summarizes our assets and liabilities that were required to be recorded at fair value on a recurring basis.

Derivative financial liabilities
  $ 1,624     $ ---     $ 1,624     $ ---  

Securities available for sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. When available, quoted market prices (Level 1) are used to determine the fair value of securities available for sale. If quoted market prices are not available, we obtain pricing information from a reputable third-party service provider, who may utilize valuation techniques that use current market-based or independently sourced parameters, such as bid/ask prices, dealer-quoted prices, interest rates, benchmark yield curves, prepayment speeds, and credit spreads (Level 2).  Level 1 securities include those traded on active markets, including U.S. Treasury securities and equity securities (e.g. Visa Inc. common stock).  Level 2 securities include U.S. agencies’ debt securities, mortgage-backed securities, and corporate collateralized mortgage obligations.

On a recurring basis, derivative financial instruments are recorded at fair value, which is based on the income approach using observable Level 2 market inputs, reflecting market expectations of future interest rates as of the measurement date.  Standard valuation techniques are used to calculate the present value of the future expected cash flows assuming an orderly transaction.  Valuation adjustments may be made to reflect both our own credit risk and the counterparties’ credit quality in determining the fair value of the derivatives. Level 2 inputs for the valuations are limited to observable market prices for London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) cash rates (for the very short term), quoted prices for LIBOR futures contracts, observable market prices for LIBOR swap rates, and one-month and three-month LIBOR basis spreads at commonly quoted intervals.  Mid-market pricing of the inputs is used as a practical expedient in the fair value measurements.  Key inputs for interest rate valuations are used to project spot rates at resets specified by each swap, as well as to discount those future cash flows to present value at the measurement date.  When the value of any collateral placed with counterparties is less than the interest rate derivative liability, the interest rate liability position is further discounted to reflect our potential credit risk to counterparties.  We have used the spread between the Standard & Poors BBB rated U.S. Bank Composite rate and LIBOR, with maturity terms corresponding to the duration of the swaps, to calculate this credit-risk-related discount of future cash flows.

Certain financial assets may be measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. These assets are subject to fair value adjustments that result from the application of the lower of cost or fair value accounting or write-downs of individual assets. For example, when a loan is identified as impaired, it is reported at the lower of cost or fair value, which is measured based on the loan's observable market price (Level 1), the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s original effective interest rate (Level 2), or the current appraised value of the underlying collateral securing the loan, if the loan is collateral dependent (Level 3).  Securities held to maturity may be written down to fair value (determined using the same techniques discussed above for securities available for sale) as a result of an other-than-temporary impairment, if any.

The following table presents the carrying value of financial instruments by level within the fair value hierarchy, for which a non-recurring change in fair value has been recorded.

Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The table below is a summary of fair value estimates for financial instruments as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, excluding financial instruments recorded at fair value on a recurring basis (summarized in a separate table). The carrying amounts in the following table are recorded in the statement of condition under the indicated captions. We have excluded non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities defined by the Codification (ASC 820-10-15-1A), such as Bank premises and equipment, deferred taxes and other liabilities.  In addition, we have not disclosed the fair value of financial instruments specifically excluded from disclosure requirements of the Financial Instruments Topic of the Codification (ASC 825-10-50-8), such as Bank-owned life insurance policies.

Following is a description of methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument not recorded at fair value, but required for disclosure purposes:

Cash and Cash Equivalents – The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents approximate their fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

Held-to-maturity Securities - Held-to-maturity securities, which generally consist of obligations of state & political subdivisions, are recorded at their amortized cost. Their fair value for disclosure purposes is determined using methodologies similar to those described above for available-for-sale securities using Level 2 inputs. If Level 2 inputs are not available, we may utilize pricing models that incorporate unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities (Level 3).  As of June 30, 2010, we did not hold any securities whose fair value was measured using significant unobservable inputs.

Loans - The fair value of loans with variable interest rates approximates their current carrying value, because their rates are regularly adjusted to current market rates.  The fair value of fixed rate loans or variable loans at negotiated interest rate floors or ceilings with remaining maturities in excess of one year is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using current market rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit worthiness and similar remaining maturities.

Interest Receivable and Payable - The interest receivable and payable balances approximate their fair value due to the short-term nature of their settlement dates.

Deposits - The fair value of non-interest bearing deposits, interest bearing transaction accounts, savings accounts and money market accounts is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date.  The fair value of time deposits is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using current rates offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.

Federal Home Loan Bank Long-term Borrowings - The fair value is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using current rates offered by the Federal Home Loan Bank San Francisco (“FHLB”) for similar credit advances corresponding to the remaining duration of our fixed-rate credit advances.

Subordinated Debenture - The fair value of the subordinated debenture is estimated by discounting the future cash flows (interest payment at a rate of three-month LIBOR plus 2.48%) using current market rates at which similar bonds would be issued with similar credit ratings as ours and similar remaining maturities. We have used the spread of the ten-year BBB rated U.S. Bank Composite over LIBOR to calculate this credit-risk-related discount of future cash flows.

Commitments - Loan commitments and standby letters of credit generate ongoing fees, which are recognized over the term of the commitment period. In situations where the borrower's credit quality has declined, we record a reserve for these off-balance sheet commitments. Given the uncertainty in the likelihood and timing of a commitment being drawn upon, a reasonable estimate of the fair value of these commitments is the carrying value of the related unamortized loan fees plus the reserve, which is not material.

As a member bank of Visa U.S.A., we hold 16,939 shares of Visa Inc. Class B common stock at a zero cost basis.  These shares are restricted from resale until their conversion into Class A (voting) shares on the later of March 25, 2011 or the termination of Visa Inc.’s covered litigation escrow account. The conversion rate will be determined upon the final resolution of the Visa Inc. covered litigation described in Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2009 Form 10-K.  We expect our shares of Class B common stock to qualify for sale within one year.  As such, on June 30, 2010, the stock was classified as available-for-sale securities and reported at fair value, with the unrealized gain, net of tax, recognized in other comprehensive income.  The fair value of the Class B common stock we own was $698 thousand based on the Class A as-converted rate of 0.5824.

The amortized cost and fair value of investment securities by contractual maturity at June 30, 2010 are shown below.  Expected maturities will differ from contractual maturities because the issuers of the securities may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties. Equity securities with a zero cost basis and a fair value of $698 thousand are excluded from the following table as they have no maturity.

At June 30, 2010, investment securities carried at $1.3 million were pledged with the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco (“FRB”) to secure our Treasury, Tax and Loan account.  At June 30, 2010, investment securities carried at $27.4 million were pledged with the State of California:  $26.6 million to secure public deposits in compliance with the Local Agency Security Program and $762 thousand to provide collateral for trust deposits. In addition, at June 30, 2010, investment securities carried at $1.4 million were pledged to collateralize an internal Wealth Management Services checking account and $3.3 million were pledged to collateralize interest rate swap as discussed in Note 9.  At June 30, 2010, our FHLB line of credit was secured under terms of a blanket collateral agreement by a pledge of certain qualifying collateral, including investment securities. See Note 6 for further details.

Other-Than-Temporarily Impaired Debt Securities

For each security in an unrealized loss position, we assess whether we intend to sell the security, or it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis less any current-period credit losses. For debt securities that are considered other-than-temporarily impaired and that we do not intend to sell and will not be required to sell prior to recovery of our amortized cost basis, we separate the amount of the impairment into the amount that is credit related (credit loss component) and the amount due to all other factors. The credit loss component is recognized in earnings and is calculated as the difference between the security’s amortized cost basis and the present value of its expected future cash flows. The remaining difference between the security’s fair value and the present value of future expected cash flows is deemed to be due to factors that are not credit related and is recognized in other comprehensive income.

We do not have the intent to sell the securities that are temporarily impaired, and it is more likely than not that we will not have to sell those securities before recovery of the cost basis. Additionally, we have evaluated the credit ratings of our investment securities and their issuers and/or insurers, if applicable. Based on our evaluation, Management has determined that no investment security in our investment portfolio is other-than-temporarily impaired.

Nine and thirty investment securities were in unrealized loss positions at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.  They are summarized and classified according to the duration of the loss period as follows:

The unrealized losses associated with debt securities of U.S. government agencies are primarily driven by changes in interest rates and not due to the credit quality of the securities. Further, securities backed by GNMA, FNMA, or FHLMC have the guarantee of the full faith and credit of the U.S. Federal Government. Obligations of U.S. states and political subdivisions in our portfolio are all investment grade without delinquency history. The security in a loss position for more than twelve continuous months relates to one debenture issued by a local subdivision with payments collected through property tax assessments in an affluent community.  These securities will continue to be monitored as part of our ongoing impairment analysis, but are expected to perform. As a result, we concluded that these securities were not other-than-temporarily impaired at June 30, 2010.

The unrealized losses associated with corporate CMO’s are primarily related to securities backed by residential mortgages. All of these securities were AAA rated or equivalent by at least one major rating agency. We estimate loss projections for each security by assessing loans collateralizing the security and determining expected default rates and loss severities. Based upon our assessment of expected credit losses of each security given the performance of the underlying collateral and credit enhancements where applicable, we concluded that these securities were not other-than-temporarily impaired at June 30, 2010.

As a member of the FHLB, we are required to maintain a minimum investment in the FHLB capital stock determined by the Board of Directors of the FHLB. The minimum investment requirements can also increase in the event we need to increase our borrowing capacity with the FHLB. Shares cannot be purchased or sold except between the FHLB and its members at its $100 per share par value.  We held $5.0 million and $4.7 million of FHLB stock recorded at cost in other assets at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. On April 29, 2010, the FHLB declared a cash dividend for the first quarter of 2010 at an annualized dividend rate of 0.26%.  Management expects to be able to redeem this stock at cost, and therefore does not believe the FHLB stock to be other-than-temporarily impaired.

Note 5:  Allowance for Loan Losses and Impaired Loans

The allowance for loan losses is maintained at levels considered adequate by Management to provide for probable loan losses inherent in the portfolio. The allowance is based on Management's assessment of various factors affecting the loan portfolio, including the level of problem loans, economic conditions, loan loss experience, and an overall evaluation of the quality of the underlying collateral.

The gross interest income that would have been recorded, had non-accrual loans been current, totaled $243 thousand, $236 thousand and $199 thousand in the quarters ended June 30, 2010, March 31, 2010, and June 30, 2009, respectively, and totaled $479 thousand and $346 thousand for the first half of 2010 and 2009, respectively. We recognized interest income of $23 thousand, $1 thousand and $10 thousand for cash payments received in the quarters ended June 30, 2010, March 31, 2010, and June 30, 2009, respectively, and $24 thousand and $10 thousand for the first halves of 2010 and 2009, respectively. There were no accruing loans past due more than 90 days at June 30, 2010, March 31, 2010 or June 30, 2009.

Specific valuation allowances on impaired loans totaled $501 thousand, $169 thousand and $32 thousand at June 30, 2010, March 31, 2010 and June 30, 2009, respectively.  The amount of the recorded investment in impaired loans for which there is no related specific valuation allowance for loan losses totaled $8.3 million, $9.5 million and $5.8 million at June 30, 2010, March 31, 2010 and June 30, 2009, respectively. Generally, we charge off our estimated losses related to specifically-identified impaired loans as the losses are identified. The charged-off portion of impaired loans outstanding at June 30, 2010 totaled approximately $4.9 million.  At June 30, 2010, there were no significant commitments to extend credit on impaired loans.

The principal balance on loans whose contractual terms have been restructured in a manner which grants a concession to a borrower experiencing financial difficulties was $1.1 million, $903 thousand and $251 thousand at June 30, 2010, March 31, 2010 and June 30, 2009, respectively, of which $908 thousand, $742 thousand and $251 thousand, respectively, were accruing interest. These restructured loan amounts have been included in the impaired loan totals noted above.

Note 6: Borrowings

Federal Funds Purchased – We have unsecured lines of credit totaling $75.0 million with correspondent banks for overnight borrowings.  In general, interest rates on these lines approximate the Federal funds target rate. At June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, we had no overnight borrowings outstanding under these credit facilities.

Federal Home Loan Bank Borrowings – As of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, we had lines of credit with the FHLB totaling $216.6 million and $236.2 million, respectively.  At June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, we had no FHLB overnight borrowings.

On February 5, 2008, we entered into a ten-year borrowing agreement under the same FHLB line of credit for $15.0 million at a fixed rate of 2.07%. Interest-only payments are required every three months until maturity. Although the entire principal is due on February 5, 2018, the FHLB has the unconditional right to accelerate the due date on August 5, 2010 and every three months thereafter (the “put dates”). If the FHLB exercises its right to accelerate the due date, the FHLB will offer replacement funding at the current market rate, subject to certain conditions. We must comply with the put date, but are not required to accept replacement funding.

On December 16, 2008, we entered into a five-year borrowing agreement under the FHLB line of credit for $20.0 million at a fixed rate of 2.54%. Interest-only payments are required every month until maturity.

On January 23, 2009, we entered into a three-year borrowing agreement under the FHLB line of credit for $20.0 million at a fixed rate of 2.29%.  Interest-only payments are required every month until maturity.

At June 30, 2010, $161.6 million was remaining as available for borrowing from the FHLB under a formula based on eligible collateral, mainly a portfolio of loans. The FHLB overnight borrowing and line of credit are secured by essentially all of our financial assets, including loans, investment securities, cash and cash equivalents under a blanket lien.

Federal Reserve Line of Credit – We also have a line of credit with the FRB. On March 30, 2009, we pledged a certain residential loan portfolio that increased our borrowing capacity with the FRB.  At June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, we have borrowing capacity under this line totaling $41.7 and $38.0 million, respectively, and had no outstanding borrowings with the FRB.

Subordinated Debt – On September 17, 2004 we issued a 15-year, $5.0 million subordinated debenture through a pooled trust preferred program, which matures on June 17, 2019.  We have the right to redeem the debenture, in whole or in part, at the redemption price at principal amounts in multiples of $1.0 million on any interest payment date on or after June 17, 2009.  The interest rate on the debenture changes quarterly and is paid quarterly at the three-month LIBOR plus 2.48%. The rate at June 30, 2010 was 3.02%. The debenture is subordinated to the claims of depositors and our other creditors.

Note 7:  Stockholders' Equity

Preferred Stock

Pursuant to the U.S. Treasury Capital Purchase Program (the “TCPP”), on December 5, 2008, we issued to the U.S. Treasury 28,000 shares of senior preferred stock with a zero par value and a $1,000 per share liquidation preference, along with a warrant to purchase 154,242 shares of common stock at a per share exercise price of $27.23, in exchange for aggregate consideration of $28 million.  The proceeds of $28 million were allocated between the preferred stock and the warrant with $27.0 million allocated to preferred stock and $961 thousand allocated to the warrant, based on their relative fair value at the time of issuance. The discount on the preferred stock (i.e., difference between the initial carrying amount and the liquidation amount) was calculated to be amortized over the five-year period preceding the 9% perpetual dividend, using the effective yield method. The preferred stock called for a 5% coupon dividend rate for the first five years and 9% thereafter. The warrant was immediately exercisable and expires 10 years after the issuance date.

Under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, which allows participants in the TCPP to withdraw from the program, we repurchased all 28,000 shares of outstanding preferred stock from the U.S. Treasury for $28 million plus accrued but unpaid dividends of $179 thousand on March 31, 2009. At the time of repurchase, we accelerated the remaining accretion of the preferred stock totaling $945 thousand through retained earnings in accordance with accounting requirements, reducing our net income available to common stockholders.  The warrant to purchase 154,242 shares of our common stock remains outstanding. We expect the U.S. Treasury to sell the warrant through auction.

Dividends

Presented below is a summary of preferred dividends on preferred stock issued under the TCPP, as well as cash dividends paid to common shareholders, both of which are recorded as a reduction of retained earnings.

Share-Based Payments

The fair value of stock options on the grant date is recorded as a stock-based compensation expense in the statement of income over the requisite service period with a corresponding increase in common stock. Stock-based compensation also includes compensation expense related to the issuance of non-vested restricted common shares pursuant to the 2007 Equity Plan. The grant-date fair value of the restricted common shares, which equals its intrinsic value on that date, is being recorded as compensation expense over the requisite service period with a corresponding increase in common stock as the shares vest. In addition, we record excess tax benefits on the exercise of non-qualified stock options, the disqualifying disposition of incentive stock options and vesting of restricted stock as an addition to common stock with a corresponding decrease in current taxes payable.

The holders of the non-vested restricted common shares are entitled to dividends on the same per-share ratio as the holders of common stock. Dividends paid on the portion of share-based awards not expected to vest are also included in stock-based compensation expense. Tax benefits on dividends paid on the portion of share-based awards expected to vest are recorded as increase to common stock with a corresponding decrease in current taxes payable.

Note 8:  Commitments and Contingencies

Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk

We make commitments to extend credit in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of our customers.  These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit in the form of loans or through standby letters of credit.  Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract.  Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee.  Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being fully drawn upon, the total commitment amount does not necessarily represent future cash requirements.

We are exposed to credit loss equal to the contract amount of the commitment in the event of nonperformance by the borrower. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by us, is based on Management's credit evaluation of the borrower.  Collateral held varies, but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, and real property.

The contractual amount of loan commitments and standby letters of credit not reflected on the consolidated statement of condition was $219.7 million at June 30, 2010 at rates ranging from 2.25% to 8.25%.  This amount included $122.9 million under commercial lines of credit (these commitments are contingent upon customers maintaining specific credit standards), $73.2 million under revolving home equity lines, $10.7 million under undisbursed construction loans, $4.2 million under standby letters of credit, and a remaining $8.7 million under personal and other lines of credit. We have set aside an allowance for losses in the amount of $439 thousand for these commitments, which is recorded in interest payable and other liabilities.

Operating Leases

We rent certain premises and equipment under long-term non-cancelable operating leases expiring at various dates through the year 2024. Commitments under these leases approximate $1.2 million, $2.2 million, $2.2 million, $2.2 million and $2.0 million for 2010 (July through December), 2011, 2012, 2013, and 2014 respectively, and $16.1 million for all years thereafter.

Capital Purchase Commitment

In 2010, we contracted with a construction company managed and owned by a member of the Board of Directors of the Bank and Bancorp for the construction of leasehold improvements to a new branch office for an estimated amount of $750 thousand, of which $201 thousand has been paid as of June 30, 2010.

Litigation and Regulatory Matters

We may be party to legal actions which arise from time to time as part of the normal course of our business.  We believe, after consultation with legal counsel, that we have meritorious defenses in these actions, and that litigation contingency liability, if any, will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. We are responsible for our proportionate share of certain litigation indemnifications provided to Visa U.S.A. by its member banks in connection with lawsuits related to anti-trust charges and interchange fees. Also refer to Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Bancorp’s 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Note 9:  Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities

We have entered into interest rate swap agreements, primarily as an asset/liability management strategy, in order to mitigate the changes in the fair value of specified long-term fixed-rate loans and firm commitments to enter into long-term fixed-rate loans caused by changes in interest rates.  These hedges allow us to offer long-term fixed rate loans to customers without assuming the interest rate risk of a long-term asset. Converting our fixed-rate interest stream to a floating-rate interest stream, generally benchmarked to the one-month U.S. dollar LIBOR index, protects us against changes in the fair value of our loans otherwise associated with fluctuating interest rates.

The fixed-rate payment features of the interest rate swap agreements are generally structured at inception to mirror all of the provisions of the hedged loan agreements. These interest rate swaps, designated and qualified as fair value hedges, are carried on the balance sheet at their fair value in other assets (when the fair value is positive) or in other liabilities (when the fair value is negative). One of our interest rate swap agreements qualifies for shortcut hedge accounting treatment. The change in fair value of the swap using the shortcut accounting treatment is recorded in other non-interest income, while the change in fair value of swaps using non-shortcut accounting is recorded in interest income.  The unrealized gain or loss in market value of the hedged fixed-rate loan is recorded as an adjustment to the hedged loan and offset in other non-interest income (for shortcut accounting treatment) or interest income (for non-shortcut accounting treatment).

Prior to loan funding, a yield maintenance agreement with net settlement features that met the definition of a derivative was carried on the balance sheet in other assets or other liabilities. The change in its fair value was recorded in interest income.  During the third quarter of 2007, a forward swap was designated to offset the change in fair value of a loan originated during the period. The fair value of the related yield maintenance agreement of $69 thousand was recorded in other assets at the date of designation.  Since designation, it is no longer considered a derivative and has been amortized using the effective yield method over the life of the designated loan.

In May 2010, we made a second firm commitment to enter into a long-term fixed-rate loan with a borrower and simultaneously enter into a forward interest rate swap agreement with a correspondent bank to mitigate the change in fair value of the yield maintenance agreement.  The forward swap is considered a non-designated hedge prior to the loan’s expected funding in August 2010.  The forward starting interest rate swap and the yield maintenance agreement are carried on the balance sheet at their fair value in other assets (when the fair value is positive) or in other liabilities (when the fair value is negative). The changes in the fair value of the forward swap and the yield maintenance agreement offset each other recorded in interest income.

The net effect of the change in fair value of interest rate swaps, the amortization of the yield maintenance agreement and the change in the fair value of the hedged loans results in an insignificant amount of hedge ineffectiveness recognized in interest income.

Our credit exposure, if any, on interest rate swaps is limited to the net favorable value (net of any collateral pledged, if any) and interest payments of all swaps by each counterparty. Conversely, when an interest rate swap is in a liability position exceeding a certain threshold, we are required to post collateral to the counterparty in an amount determined by the agreements (generally when our derivative liability position is greater than $100 thousand or $1.3 million, depending upon the counterparty).  Collateral levels are monitored and adjusted on a regular basis for changes in interest rate swap values. The aggregate fair value of all derivative instruments that are in a liability position and have collateral requirements on June 30, 2010 is $2.9 million, for which we have posted collateral in the form of securities available for sale totaling $3.3 million.

As of June 30, 2010, we had five interest rate swap agreements, which are scheduled to mature in September 2018, April 2019, June 2020, August 2020 and June 2022.  Our interest rate swaps are settled monthly with counterparties. Accrued interest on the swaps totaled $57 thousand as of June 30, 2010. Information on our derivatives follows:

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

In the following pages, Management discusses its analysis of the financial condition and results of operations for the second quarter of 2010 compared to the second quarter of 2009 and to the prior quarter (first quarter of 2010), as well as the six-month period ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the related consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q and with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in our 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K.  Average balances, including balances used in calculating certain financial ratios, are generally comprised of average daily balances.

Forward-Looking Statements

This discussion of financial results includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the "1933 Act") and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the "1934 Act").  Those sections of the 1933 Act and 1934 Act provide a "safe harbor" for forward-looking statements to encourage companies to provide prospective information about their financial performance so long as they provide meaningful and cautionary statements, identifying important factors that could cause actual results to differ significantly from projected results.

Our forward-looking statements include descriptions of plans or objectives of Management for future operations, products or services, and forecasts of its revenues, earnings or other measures of economic performance. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. They often include the words "believe," "expect," "intend," "estimate" or words of similar meaning, or future or conditional verbs such as "will," "would," "should," "could" or "may."

Forward-looking statements are based on Management's current expectations regarding economic, legislative, and regulatory issues that may impact our earnings in future periods. A number of factors—many of which are beyond Management’s control—could cause future results to vary materially from current Management expectations. Such factors include, but are not limited to: general economic conditions; the current financial downturn in the U.S. and abroad; changes in interest rates, deposit flows, real estate values and competition; changes in accounting principles, policies or guidelines; changes in legislation or regulation; and other economic, competitive, governmental, regulatory and technological factors affecting our operations, pricing, products and services. These and other important factors are detailed in the Risk Factors section of our 2009 Form 10-K as filed with the SEC, copies of which are available from us at no charge. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. We do not undertake to update forward-looking statements to reflect circumstances or events that occur after the date the forward-looking statements are made, or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

Executive Summary

We continued to deliver strong quarterly financial results reflecting our focus on the fundamentals of responsible lending and our commitment to relationship banking in the communities we serve.

Our second quarter 2010 earnings totaled $3.3 million, up 6.5% from $3.1 million in the second quarter of 2009 and up 13.3% from $2.9 million in the first quarter of 2010.  Diluted earnings per share were $0.63, up $0.03 from the second quarter of 2009 and up $0.07 from the first quarter of 2010.

Earnings for the six-month period ended June 30, 2010 totaled $6.3 million, compared to $6.4 million for the same period a year ago.  Diluted earnings per share for the six-month period ended June 30, 2010 totaled $1.19, up from $0.97 in the same period a year ago.  The earnings per common share for the first half of 2009 were reduced by $0.25 as a result of Bancorp’s participation and withdrawal from the TCPP and $0.06 related to an FDIC special assessment.

The increase in earnings compared to the second quarter of 2009 primarily reflects growth in interest-earning assets, higher merchant interchange income, partially offset by a higher provision for loan losses as discussed below.

BANK OF MARIN BANCORP

The increase in earnings from the first quarter of 2010 primarily reflects growth in interest-earning assets, a lower provision for loan losses as discussed below, partially offset by higher non-interest expenses.

Total loans grew to $939.3 million at June 30, 2010, representing an increase of $21.5 million, or 2.3%, from December 31, 2009, mainly driven by growth in commercial real estate loans.

Non-performing loans totaled $10.8 million, or 1.15% of Bancorp’s loan portfolio at June 30, 2010, compared to $11.4 million, or 1.24%, at March 31, 2010, and $11.6 million, or 1.26% at December 31, 2009.  Accruing loans past due 30 to 89 days increased to $3.7 million, at June 30, 2010, from $1.0 million at March 31, 2010 and $835 thousand at December 31, 2009.

The provision for loan losses totaled $1.4 million in the second quarter of 2010, compared to $1.6 million in the prior quarter, and $700 thousand in the same quarter a year ago. The decrease to the provision for loan losses from the prior quarter primarily represents decreases in the volume of newly identified problem credits and losses on existing impaired loans, partially offset by higher loss factors assigned to non-owner-occupied commercial real estate loans and substandard loans. The higher provision for loan losses compared to the same quarter last year was primarily related to higher loss factors assigned to non-owner-occupied commercial real estate loans and substandard loans, as well as loan growth. The provision for loan losses totaled $2.9 million and $1.9 million in the first half of 2010 and 2009, respectively.  Net charge-offs in the second quarter of 2010 totaled $225 thousand, compared to $1.5 million in the prior quarter, and $854 thousand in the same quarter a year ago.  The allowance for loan losses of $11.8 million totaled 1.25% of loans at June 30, 2010, compared to 1.16% at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009. The increase in the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of loans in the second quarter of 2010 relates to Management’s re-evaluation of loss factors assigned to substandard loans and commercial real estate non-owner occupied loans.

Total deposits grew $55.1 million, or 5.8%, from December 31, 2009, with the most notable increases in Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Service deposits (“CDARS®”), other time deposits and demand deposits, partially offset by a decrease in money market accounts.

Critical Accounting Policies

Critical accounting policies are those that are both most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and require Management’s most difficult, subjective, or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.
 
Management has determined the following five accounting policies to be critical: Allowance for Loan Losses, Other-than-temporary Impairment of Investment Securities, Share-Based Payment, Accounting for Income Taxes and Fair Value Measurements.

Allowance for Loan Losses

Allowance for loan losses is based upon estimates of loan losses and is maintained at a level considered adequate to provide for probable losses inherent in the outstanding loan portfolio. The allowance is increased by provisions charged to expense and reduced by net charge-offs.  In periodic evaluations of the adequacy of the allowance balance, Management considers our past loan loss experience by type of credit, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower's ability to repay, the estimated value of any underlying collateral, current economic conditions and other factors. We formally assess the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses on a quarterly basis. These assessments include the periodic re-grading of loans based on changes in their individual credit characteristics including delinquency, seasoning, recent financial performance of the borrower, economic factors, changes in the interest rate environment and other factors as warranted. Loans are initially graded when originated. They are reviewed as they are renewed, when there is a new loan to the same borrower and/or when identified facts demonstrate heightened risk of default. Confirmation of the quality of our grading process is obtained by independent reviews conducted by outside consultants specifically hired for this purpose and by periodic examination by various bank regulatory agencies. Management monitors delinquent loans continuously and identifies problem loans to be evaluated individually for impairment testing. For loans that are determined impaired, formal impairment measurement is performed at least quarterly on a loan-by-loan basis.

Our method for assessing the appropriateness of the allowance includes specific allowances for identified problem loans, an allowance factor for categories of credits and allowances for changing environmental factors (e.g., portfolio trends, concentration of credit, growth, economic factors). Allowances for identified problem loans are based on specific analysis of individual credits. Loss estimation factors for loan categories are based on analysis of local economic factors applicable to each loan category. Allowances for changing environmental factors are Management's best estimate of the probable impact these changes have had on the loan portfolio as a whole.

Other-than-temporary Impairment of Investment Securities

At each financial statement date, we assess whether declines in the fair value of held-to-maturity and available-for-sale securities below their costs are deemed to be other than temporary.  We consider, among other things, (i) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (ii) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (iii) our intent and ability to retain the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value. Evidence evaluated includes, but is not limited to, the remaining payment terms of the instrument and economic factors that are relevant to the collectability of the instrument, such as: current prepayment speeds, the current financial condition of the issuer(s), industry analyst reports, credit ratings, credit default rates, interest rate trends and the value of any underlying collateral. Credit-related other-than-temporary-impairment results in a charge to earnings and the corresponding establishment of a new cost basis for the security.  Non-credit-related other-than-temporary impairment results in a charge to other comprehensive income, net of applicable taxes, and the corresponding establishment of a new cost basis for the security. The other-than-temporary impairment recognized in other comprehensive income for debt securities classified as held-to-maturity is accreted from other comprehensive income to the amortized cost of the debt security over the remaining life of the debt security in a prospective manner on the basis of the amount and timing of future estimated cash flows.

Share-Based Payment

We recognize all share-based payments, including stock options and non-vested restricted common shares, as an expense in the income statement based on the grant-date fair value of the award with a corresponding increase to common stock.

We determine the fair value of stock options at the grant date using the Black-Scholes pricing model that takes into account the stock price at the grant date, the exercise price, the expected dividend yield, stock price volatility and the risk-free interest rate over the expected life of the option. The Black-Scholes model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected life of the stock-based award (derived from historical data on employee exercise and post-vesting employment termination behavior) and stock price volatility (based on the historical volatility of the common stock). The estimates used in the model involve inherent uncertainties and the application of Management’s judgment.  As a result, if other assumptions had been used, our recorded stock-based compensation expense could have been materially different from that reflected in these financial statements. The fair value of non-vested restricted common shares generally equals the stock price at grant date.  In addition, we are required to estimate the expected forfeiture rate and only recognize expense for those share-based awards expected to vest.  If our actual forfeiture rate is materially different from the estimate, the share-based compensation expense could be materially different.

Accounting for Income Taxes

Income taxes reported in the financial statements are computed based on an asset and liability approach. We recognize the amount of taxes payable or refundable for the current year, and deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences that have been recognized in the financial statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. We record net deferred tax assets to the extent it is more likely than not that they will be realized.  In evaluating our ability to recover the deferred tax assets, Management considers all available positive and negative evidence, including scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recent financial operations.  In projecting future taxable income, Management develops assumptions including the amount of future state and federal pretax operating income, the reversal of temporary differences and the implementation of feasible and prudent tax planning strategies. These assumptions require significant judgment about the forecasts of future taxable income and are consistent with the plans and estimates being used to manage the underlying business. Bancorp files consolidated federal and combined state income tax returns.

We recognize the financial statement effect of a tax position when it is more-likely-than-not, based on the technical merits, that the position will be sustained upon examination. For tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not threshold, we may recognize only the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with the taxing authority. Management believes that all of our tax positions taken meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold.  To the extent tax authorities disagree with these tax positions, our effective tax rates could be materially affected in the period of settlement with the taxing authorities.

Fair Value Measurements

We use fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities, and to determine fair value disclosures. We base our fair values on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Securities available for sale, derivatives, and loans held for sale, if any, are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Additionally, from time to time, we may be required to record certain assets at fair value on a non-recurring basis, such as certain impaired loans held for investment and securities held to maturity  that are other-than-temporarily impaired. These non-recurring fair value adjustments typically involve write-downs of individual assets due to application of lower-of-cost or market accounting.

We have established and documented a process for determining fair value. We maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when developing fair value measurements. Whenever there is no readily available market data, Management uses its best estimate and assumptions in determining fair value, but these estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of Management’s judgment. As a result, if other assumptions had been used, our recorded earnings or disclosures could have been materially different from those reflected in these financial statements. For detailed information on our use of fair value measurements and our related valuation methodologies, see Note 3 to Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income is the difference between the interest earned on loans, investments and other interest-earning assets and the interest expense incurred on deposits and other interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income is impacted by changes in general market interest rates and by changes in the amounts and composition of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Interest rate changes can create fluctuations in the net interest margin due to an imbalance in the timing of repricing or maturity of assets or liabilities. We manage interest rate risk exposure with the goal of minimizing the impact of interest rate volatility on net interest margin.

Net interest margin is expressed as net interest income divided by average interest-earning assets. Net interest rate spread is the difference between the average rate earned on total interest-earning assets and the average rate incurred on total interest-bearing liabilities. Both of these measures are reported on a taxable-equivalent basis.  Net interest margin is the higher of the two because it reflects interest income earned on assets funded with non-interest-bearing sources of funds, which include demand deposits and stockholders’ equity.

The following table, Distribution of Average Statements of Condition and Analysis of Net Interest Income, compares interest income and interest-earning assets with interest expense and interest-bearing liabilities for the periods presented. The table also indicates net interest income, net interest margin and net interest rate spread for each period presented.

Second Quarter of 2010 Compared to Second Quarter of 2009

The tax-equivalent net interest margin of 5.01% in the second quarter of 2010 decreased twelve basis points from the second quarter of 2009. The decrease in the net interest margin was primarily due to lower yields on investment securities (as a result of increased prepayments and lower yields on recent purchases) and a shift in the mix of interest-earning assets in the second quarter of 2010, as the excess liquidity from deposit inflows was invested in lower-yielding interest-bearing due from banks and investments. The net interest spread decreased nine basis points over the same period for the same reasons.

Compared to the second quarter of 2009, net interest margin in the second quarter of 2010 benefited from lower rates on deposits and the subordinated debenture, partially offset by the effect of a higher volume of time deposits.

Total average interest-earning assets increased $82.3 million, or 8.1%, in the second quarter of 2010 compared to the second quarter of 2009. The increase primarily relates to an increase in average investment securities of $34.2 million, an increase of $24.9 million in average interest-bearing due from banks, and average loan growth of $23.2 million.

Market interest rates are in part based on the target Federal funds interest rate (the interest rate banks charge each other for short-term borrowings) implemented by the Federal Reserve Open Market Committee. In December of 2008, the target interest rate was brought to a historic low with a range of 0% to 0.25% where it remains as of June 30, 2010.

The average yield on interest-earning assets decreased nineteen basis points in the second quarter of 2010 compared to the second quarter of 2009, mainly driven by the decrease in yields on investment securities, reflecting lower yields on recently purchased securities in this low interest rate environment and acceleration of the amortization of premiums as a result of increased prepayments on agency securities and CMOs.

The yield on the loan portfolio, which comprised 84.5% and 89.1% of average interest-earning assets in the quarters ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, increased by nine basis points in the second quarter of 2010 over the comparable quarter a year ago. This is mainly due to new construction loans originated with higher rates than the loans that were paid off in the second quarter of 2010. Interest foregone on non-accrual loans represented a nine-basis point and an eight-basis point reduction to the net interest margin in the quarters ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

The average balance of interest-bearing liabilities increased $56.2 million, or 7.6%, in the second quarter of 2010 compared to the same period a year ago. The increase was comprised of $69.6 million in interest-bearing deposit accounts, partially offset by a decrease of $13.4 million in overnight borrowings.  The mix of deposits reflected a shift towards higher-costing CDARS® and other time deposits from money market and interest-bearing transaction accounts.

The rate on interest-bearing liabilities decreased ten basis points in the second quarter of 2010 compared to the same quarter a year ago, primarily due to lower deposit offering rates and a lower rate on the subordinated debenture, partially offset by the effect of a shift in the mix from lower-rate overnight borrowings towards time deposits. The rates on time deposits, CDARSâ time deposits, and money market accounts decreased forty basis points, eighteen basis points, and nine basis points, respectively, compared to the same quarter a year ago. In addition, the rate on the subordinated debenture decreased eighty-seven basis points due to a decline in the LIBOR rate, to which the borrowing is indexed.

Second Quarter of 2010 Compared to First Quarter of 2010

The tax equivalent net interest margin increased one basis point from the prior quarter.

Total average interest-earning assets increased $35.1 million, or 3.3%, in the second quarter of 2010 compared to the prior quarter, reflecting increases of $13.8 million in average investment securities, $13.8 million in average loans and $7.5 million in average Federal funds sold and interest-bearing due from banks.

BANK OF MARIN BANCORP

The yield on the loan portfolio increased six basis points in the second quarter of 2010 compared to the prior quarter, reflecting new construction loans originated with higher rates than the ones paid off in the second quarter of 2010. Interest foregone on non-accrual loans represented a nine-basis point reduction to the net interest margin in both the quarters ended June 30, 2010 and March 31, 2010.

The average balance of interest-bearing liabilities increased $14.4 million, or 1.9%, in the second quarter of 2010 compared to the prior quarter, due to an increase in average interest-bearing deposits.

The shift in the mix of deposits reflects a slight decrease in the average balance of money market accounts to 39.1% of average deposits, down from 42.2% in the previous quarter. The average balance of higher-costing time deposits (including CDARS® deposits) increased to 18.1% of average deposits, up from 16.0% in the previous quarter.

The overall rate on interest-bearing liabilities decreased four basis points in the second quarter of 2010 compared to the prior quarter. The rate paid on CDARS® deposits decreased nineteen basis points from the prior quarter, the rate on time deposits decreased four basis points and the rate on money market accounts decreased three basis points. The rate on the subordinated debenture increased thirteen basis points due to an increase in the three-month LIBOR rate, to which the debenture rate is indexed.

Six Months 2010 Compared to Six Months 2009

The tax-equivalent net interest margin decreased to 5.00% in the first six months of 2010, down fifteen basis points from the first six months of 2009. Lower agency securities yields were partially offset by lower rates on deposits and the subordinated debenture, and slightly higher loan yields. The decrease in the net interest margin also reflected a shift in the mix of interest-earning assets from higher-yielding loans to lower-yielding cash held at the Federal Reserve and other short-term investments, where the excess liquidity from deposit inflows was invested.

Average interest-earning assets increased $74.0 million, or 7.3%, in the first half of 2010 compared to the first half of 2009.  This included increases in average investment securities of $28.7 million, average short-term investments and Federal funds sold of $25.7 million and average loan growth of $19.6 million.

The yield on the loan portfolio, which comprised 85.1% and 89.4% of average earning assets in the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, increased four basis points in the first half of 2010 compared to the first half of 2009, reflecting the reasons discussed above. Interest foregone on non-accrual loans represented a nine-basis point and a seven-basis point reduction to the net interest margin in the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

The lower yields on investment securities are a result of increased prepayments resulting in accelerated amortization of premiums, and lower yields on recently purchased securities. The yield on CMOs and other securities decreased 201 basis points in the first half of 2010 from the same period a year ago, the yield on agency securities decreased 101 basis points, and the yield on municipal bonds decreased five basis points.

The average balance of interest-bearing liabilities increased $60.9 million, or 8.4%, in the first half of 2010 compared to the first half of 2009.  The increases are pervasive in all categories of deposit accounts, most notably in money market accounts, which increased $27.4 million and time deposits (including CDARS®), which increased $43.4 million. Purchased funds increased $2.4 million in the first six months of 2010 compared to the first six months of 2009. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in overnight borrowings of $21.5 million. We have experienced a shift in the relative mix of interest-bearing deposits in the first half of 2010 compared to the first half of 2009 as the proportion of higher-costing time accounts (mainly CDARS®) has increased, while the proportion of money market deposit accounts has decreased.

The rate on interest-bearing liabilities decreased nine basis points in the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2009, reflecting the downward re-pricing of time deposits as they mature, as well as lower offering rates on most other types of deposits.  The rate on other time deposits, CDARS®, and money market accounts decreased forty-nine basis points, nineteen basis points, and seven basis points, respectively, in the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2009. The rate on the subordinated debenture dropped 124 basis points due to a decline in the three-month LIBOR rate, to which the debenture rate is indexed.

Provision for Loan Losses

Management assesses the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses on a quarterly basis based on several factors including growth of the loan portfolio, analysis of probable losses in the portfolio, recent loss experience and the current economic climate.  Actual losses on loans are charged against the allowance, and the allowance is increased through the provision for loan losses charged to expense.  For further discussion, see the section captioned “Critical Accounting Policies.”

Our provision for loan losses totaled $1.4 million in the second quarter of 2010 compared to $700 thousand in the second quarter of 2009, and $1.6 million in the first quarter of 2010, and totaled $2.9 million and $1.9 million for the first half of 2010 and 2009, respectively.  The provision for loan losses increased in the second quarter of 2010 compared to the same period a year ago as Management re-evaluated loss factors assigned to certain loans, resulting in an increase to the allowance factors for substandard loans and commercial real estate non-owner occupied loans.  The provision for loan losses decreased in the second quarter of 2010 compared to the first quarter of 2010 primarily due to decreases in the volume of newly identified problem credits and losses on existing impaired loans, partially offset by higher loss factors assigned to non-owner-occupied commercial real estate loans and substandard loans.

The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of loans was 1.25% at June 30, 2010 and 1.16% at both December 31, 2009 and March 31, 2010.  The increase in allowance for loan losses as a percentage of loans at June 30, 2010 reflects increased allowance factors for certain higher-risk loans as discussed above.  Impaired loan balances totaled $11.7 million and $12.2 million at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively, with a specific valuation allowance of $501 thousand and $45 thousand, respectively.

Net charge-offs totaled $225 thousand, $1.5 million, and $854 thousand in the quarters ended June 30, 2010, March 31, 2010, and June 30, 2009, respectively, and totaled $1.7 million in each of the first halves of 2010 and 2009.  The majority of charge-offs in 2010 primarily relate to commercial, construction land development and single family residential construction loans secured by real property where the value of collateral has declined, and to a lesser extent personal loans. The percentage of net charge-offs to average loans was 0.02%, 0.17% and 0.09% for the quarters ended June 30, 2010, March 31, 2010, and June 30, 2009, respectively, reflecting the decrease in the newly identified problem credits, and totaled 0.19% in each of the first halves of 2010 and 2009.

The increase in service charges on deposit accounts, when compared to the same quarter a year ago and last quarter, is primarily attributable to the increase in the volume of deposit accounts.

Wealth Management Services (“WMS”) income increased from the same quarter a year ago, mainly due to an increase in assets under management. WMS income decreased from the prior quarter due to a decrease in assets under management due to market depreciation as well as the absence of one-time estate settlement fees earned in the first quarter of 2010.

Our Bank-owned life insurance income remains relatively consistent with both the same quarter last year and the prior quarter as we did not purchase any new policies in the past year.

The increase in customer banking fees, when compared to the same quarter a year ago and the prior quarter, is due to higher Visa® debit fees, primarily attributable to a higher volume of Visa® debit card usage.

Merchant interchange income increased from the same quarter a year ago and the prior quarter, due to an increase in transaction volume from our merchant customers.

Other non-interest income remained consistent with the same quarter a year ago and the prior quarter.

The increase in service charges on deposit accounts in the first six months of 2010, compared to the first six months of 2009, is primarily attributable to an increase in the volume of deposit accounts. The increase in WMS income is due to one time trust-services fees received in the first quarter of 2010, as well as the increase in assets under management.  When comparing the first six months of 2010 to the first six months of 2009, the increase in customer banking fees is primarily due to higher Visa® debit fees, for the same reason mentioned above.  Merchant interchange income increased due to the higher transaction volume from our merchant customers.

The increase in salaries and benefit expenses, when compared to the same quarter last year, primarily reflected annual merit increases, higher personnel costs associated with branch expansion and higher employee insurance rates.  These increases were partially offset by a decrease in commissions. The decrease from the previous quarter reflects lower 401K matching contributions and payroll taxes, partially offset by higher salary expenses.  The number of full-time equivalent employees (“FTE”) totaled 198, 197 and 195 at June 30, 2010, March 31, 2010 and June 30, 2009, respectively.

The increase in occupancy and equipment expenses from the same period a year ago is primarily due to the rent of our new Greenbrae branch (opened in September 2009).  When compared to the previous quarter, occupancy and equipment expenses remained relatively consistent.

Depreciation and amortization expenses increased slightly compared to the same quarter last year and the prior quarter, mainly due to accelerated amortization of leasehold improvements on our existing Corte Madera branch, which is being relocated in July 2010.

The decrease in FDIC insurance compared to the same quarter a year ago is mainly due to the absence of a special assessment imposed by the FDIC totaling $496 thousand in the second quarter of 2009. FDIC insurance expense remained relatively consistent with the prior quarter.

BANK OF MARIN BANCORP

The increase in data processing expenses over the same quarter last year primarily reflects data processing costs associated with process re-engineering, an annual contractual rate increase, as well as a new data processing vendor utilized by our WMS for the outsourcing of certain trust operations.  Compared to the first quarter of 2010, data processing expenses increased due to process re-engineering costs.

The increase in professional service expenses compared to the second quarter of 2009 was primarily due to an increase in investment advisory fees attributable to an increase in assets under management and legal fees, partially offset by a decrease in accounting fees. The increase in professional service expenses compared to the prior quarter is mainly due to an increase in legal fees.

The increases in advertising expenses from the prior quarter and the same quarter a year ago are primarily due to new cable TV and online advertising.

The increase in director fees from the same quarter last year is primarily due to an increase in director compensation, partially offset by a reduction in the number of directors. Director fees remained essentially unchanged from the prior quarter.

Other non-interest expense remained consistent with the same quarter last year. The increase in other non-interest expense from the prior quarter is primarily due to increases in shareholder expenses related to our annual shareholder meeting, the printing and distribution of our annual report, and operational losses.

The year-to-date increase in salaries and benefits over the same period last year is primarily due to higher personnel costs and employee insurance costs associated with branch expansion, partially offset by lower commissions. The increases in occupancy and equipment expense are mainly due to an increase in rent for our new Greenbrae branch. The decrease in FDIC insurance is due to the absence of a special assessment, as discussed above.  The increase in data processing expense is due to process re-engineering costs, an annual contractual rate increase, as well as outsourcing certain trust operations. The increase in professional service expenses when compared to the same period of 2009 is mainly due to an increase in investment advisory fees.  Advertising expenses decreased primarily due to the timing of bank advertising programs. Director fees increased due to the director compensation rate increase, partially offset by fewer directors. The increase in other non-interest expense year-to-date was primarily due to increases in education and training, information technology and shareholders expenses.

We reported a provision for income taxes of $2.0 million, $1.8 million, and $1.9 million for the quarters ended June 30, 2010, March 31, 2010, and June 30, 2009, respectively.  The effective tax rates were 37.3%, 37.4% and 37.4%, respectively, for those same periods. The provision for income taxes was $3.7 million and $3.9 million for the first six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  These provisions reflect accruals for taxes at the applicable rates for federal income tax and California franchise tax based upon reported pre-tax income, adjusted for the effect of all permanent differences between income for tax and financial reporting purposes (such as earnings on qualified municipal securities, Bank-owned life insurance policies and certain federal tax-exempt loans). Therefore, there are normal fluctuations in the effective rate from period to period based on the relationship of net permanent differences to income before tax. We have not been subject to an alternative minimum tax during these periods.

Bancorp and the Bank have entered into a tax allocation agreement which provides that income taxes shall be allocated between the parties on a separate entity basis.  The intent of this agreement is that each member of the consolidated group will incur no greater tax liability than it would have incurred on a stand-alone basis.

FINANCIAL CONDITION
Summary

During the first six months of 2010, total assets increased $63.9 million, or 5.7%, to $1.2 billion. This increase in assets primarily reflects increases in cash and cash equivalents of $30.5 million, net loans of $20.4 million and investment securities of $13.9 million.  The following table presents the composition of our loans outstanding by type:

Loans Outstanding

Allowance for loan losses
    (11,773 )     (10,618 )
Total net loans
  $ 927,520     $ 907,130  

(a) Our residential loan portfolio includes no sub-prime loans, nor is it our normal practice to underwrite loans commonly referred to as "Alt-A mortgages", the characteristics of which are loans lacking full documentation, borrowers having low FICO scores or collateral compositions reflecting high loan-to-value ratios.

At June 30, 2010, we had twenty-one non-accrual loans totaling $10.8 million compared to nineteen non-accrual loans totaling $11.6 million at December 31, 2009.  Impaired loan balances at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 totaled $11.7 million and $12.2 million, respectively, which included troubled-debt restructured loans totaling $1.1 million and $781 thousand at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.

Our investment securities portfolio increased $13.9 million in the first six months of 2010, primarily due to purchases of $27.4 million and the recognition of a zero-cost basis equity security at its fair value of $698 thousand, partially offset by $15.6 million of pay-downs on securities. Investment securities in our portfolio that may be backed by mortgages having sub-prime or Alt-A features (certain corporate CMOs) represent 6.0% of our total investment portfolio.

Other assets include net deferred tax assets of $6.1 million and $6.5 million at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.  These deferred tax assets consist primarily of tax benefits expected to be realized in future periods related to temporary differences for the allowance for loan losses, depreciation, leases and deferred compensation.  Management believes these assets to be realizable due to the Bank’s consistent record of earnings and the expectation that earnings will continue at a level adequate to realize such benefits.

During the first six months of 2010, total liabilities increased $56.9 million to $1.1 billion, primarily due to an increase in deposits of $55.1 million.  The increase in deposits primarily reflects increases in CDARS® deposits of $29.6 million, non-interest bearing deposits of $27.1 million and other time deposits of $19.7 million, partially offset by a decrease in money market deposits of $34.2 million.   We attracted deposits due to the national movement towards lower-risk holdings and the safety and soundness of the Bank, as well as our focus on customer service.

Stockholders’ equity increased $6.9 million to $116.0 million during the first six months of 2010.  The increase in stockholders’ equity primarily reflects the net income accumulated during the period and an increase in the unrealized gain on available-for-sale securities, partially offset by cash dividends to shareholders.

BANK OF MARIN BANCORP

Capital Adequacy

Bancorp and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies.  Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory, and possibly additional discretionary, actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a material effect on Bancorp’s consolidated financial statements.  Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, Bancorp and the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of Bancorp’s and the Bank’s assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices.  The capital amounts and the Bank’s prompt corrective action classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors.  Prompt corrective action provisions are not applicable to bank holding companies such as Bancorp.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require Bancorp and the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of total and Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets and of Tier 1 capital to quarterly average assets.

Capital ratios are reviewed by Management on a regular basis to ensure that capital exceeds the prescribed regulatory minimums and is adequate to meet our anticipated future needs.  For all periods presented, the Bank’s ratios exceed the regulatory definition of “well capitalized” under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action and Bancorp’s ratios exceed the required minimum ratios for capital adequacy purposes.

The Bank’s and Bancorp’s capital adequacy ratios as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 are presented in the following tables.

BANK OF MARIN BANCORP

Liquidity

The goal of liquidity management is to provide adequate funds to meet both loan demand and unexpected deposit withdrawals.  We accomplish this goal by maintaining an appropriate level of liquid assets, and formal lines of credit with the FHLB, FRB and correspondent banks that enable us to borrow funds as needed.  Our Asset/Liability Management Committee (“ALCO”), which is comprised of certain directors of the Bank, is responsible for establishing and monitoring our liquidity targets and strategies.

Management regularly adjusts our investments in liquid assets based upon our assessment of expected loan demand, expected deposit flows, yields available on interest-earning securities and the objectives of our asset/liability management program.  ALCO has also developed a contingency plan should liquidity drop unexpectedly below internal requirements.

We obtain funds from the repayment and maturity of loans, as well as deposit inflows, investment security maturities and pay-downs, Federal funds purchases, FHLB advances and other borrowings.  Our primary uses of funds are the origination of loans, the purchase of investment securities, withdrawals of deposits, maturity of certificate of deposits, repayment of borrowings and dividends to common stockholders.

Our liquidity level is influenced by our deposit retention and growth, which depends upon the variety and effectiveness of our customer account products, service and convenience, and rates offered to customers, as well as our financial strength. Any long-term decline in retail deposit funding would adversely impact our liquidity. Management does not anticipate significant reliance on Federal funds purchased and FHLB advances in the near future, as our core deposit inflow has provided adequate liquidity to fund our operations.

As presented in the accompanying unaudited consolidated statements of cash flows, the sources of liquidity vary between periods. Our cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2010 totaled $69.2 million, an increase of $30.5 million over December 31, 2009. The primary sources of funds during the first six months of 2010 included a $55.1 million net increase in deposits, $15.6 million in pay-downs and maturities of investment securities and $11.3 million net cash provided by operating activities.  The primary uses of funds were $27.4 million in investment securities purchases and $22.3 million in loan originations (net of principal collections).

At June 30, 2010, our cash and cash equivalents and unpledged available-for-sale securities with contractual maturities within one year totaled $74.8 million.  The remainder of the unpledged available for sale securities portfolio of $102.9 million provides additional liquidity. Taken together, these liquid assets equaled 15.0% of our assets at June 30, 2010, compared to 11.9% at December 31, 2009. The increased liquidity at June 30, 2010 was primarily due to deposit growth exceeding loan growth.

We anticipate that cash and cash equivalents on hand and other sources of funds will provide adequate liquidity for our operating, investing and financing needs and our regulatory liquidity requirements for the foreseeable future. Management monitors our liquidity position daily, balancing loan funding/payments with changes in deposit activity and overnight investments.  We continually monitor our lending activity to ensure our liquidity position is not jeopardized.  Our emphasis on local deposits combined with our 9.8% equity to assets ratio, provides a very stable funding base. In addition to cash and cash equivalents, we have substantial additional borrowing capacity including unsecured lines of credit totaling $75.0 million with correspondent banks.  Further, on March 31, 2009, we pledged a certain residential loan portfolio that increased our borrowing capacity with the FRB, which currently totals $41.7million.  As of June 30, 2010, there is no debt outstanding to correspondent banks or the FRB.  We are also a member of the FHLB and have a line of credit (secured under terms of a blanket lien agreement by a pledge of essentially all of our financial assets) in the amount of $216.6 million, of which $161.6 million was available at June 30, 2010. Borrowings under the line are limited to eligible collateral. The interest rate on overnight borrowing with both correspondent banks and the FHLB is determined daily and approximates the Federal funds rate.

Undisbursed loan commitments, which are not reflected on the consolidated statement of condition, totaled $219.7 million at June 30, 2010 at rates ranging from 2.25% to 8.25%.  This amount included $122.9 million under commercial lines of credit (these commitments are contingent upon customers maintaining specific credit standards), $73.2 million under revolving home equity lines, $10.7 million under undisbursed construction loans, $4.2 million under standby letters of credit, and a remaining $8.7 million under personal and other lines of credit.

BANK OF MARIN BANCORP
 
These commitments, to the extent used, are expected to be funded primarily through the repayment of existing loans, deposit growth and existing balance sheet liquidity.  Over the next twelve months $189.6 million of time deposits will mature.  We expect these funds to be replaced with new time deposits.

Since Bancorp is a holding company and does not conduct regular banking operations, its primary sources of liquidity are dividends from the Bank. Under the California Financial Code, payment of a dividend from the Bank to Bancorp without advance regulatory approval is restricted to the lesser of the Bank’s retained earnings or the amount of the Bank’s undistributed net profits from the previous three fiscal years. As the Bank made a $28 million distribution to Bancorp in March 2009 in connection with Bancorp’s repurchase of preferred stock, distributions from the Bank to Bancorp will be subject to advance regulatory approval for three years beginning in 2010. The primary uses of funds for Bancorp are stockholder dividends, investment in the Bank and ordinary operating expenses.  Management anticipates that the current cash level at Bancorp will be sufficient to meet its funding requirements for the next few years.

ITEM 3.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk

Our most significant form of market risk is interest rate risk. The risk is inherent in our deposit and lending activities.  Management, together with ALCO, has sought to manage rate sensitivity and maturities of assets and liabilities to minimize the exposure of our earnings and capital to changes in interest rates. Additionally, interest rate risk exposure is managed with the goal of minimizing the impact of interest rate volatility on our net interest margin. Interest rate changes can create fluctuations in the net interest margin due to an imbalance in the timing of repricing or maturity of assets or liabilities. Interest rate risk exposure is managed with the goal of minimizing the impact of interest rate volatility on the net interest margin.

Activities in asset and liability management include, but are not limited to, lending, borrowing, accepting deposits and investing in securities. Interest rate risk is the primary market risk associated with asset and liability management. Sensitivity of net interest income (“NII”) and capital to interest rate changes results from differences in the maturity or repricing of asset and liability portfolios. To mitigate interest rate risk, the structure of the Consolidated Statement of Condition is managed with the objective of correlating the movements of interest rates on loans and investments with those of deposits and borrowings. The asset and liability policy sets limits on the acceptable amount of change to NII and capital in changing interest rate environments. We use simulation models to forecast NII.

From time to time, we enter into certain interest rate swap contracts designated as fair value hedges to mitigate the changes in the fair value of specified long-term fixed-rate loans and firm commitments to enter into long-term fixed-rate loans caused by changes in interest rates. See Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q.

Exposure to interest rate risk is reviewed at least quarterly by the ALCO and the Board of Directors. They utilize interest rate sensitivity simulation models as a tool for achieving these objectives and for developing ways in which to improve profitability. A simplified statement of condition is prepared on a quarterly basis as a starting point, using as inputs, actual loans, investments, borrowings and deposits. If potential changes to net equity value and NII resulting from hypothetical interest changes are not within the limits established by the Board of Directors, Management may adjust the asset and liability mix to bring interest rate risk within approved limits.

During 2009 and 2010, there has been no change to the Federal funds target rate, which has been kept at its historic low level of 0-0.25%. We expect to be slightly asset sensitive in a rising interest rate environment. In 2010, the rise in our liquidity level increased our asset sensitivity. However, due to loans at rate floors, we expect a lag in the upward re-pricing of loans when market rates begin to move up. We have mitigated earnings sensitivity to a certain extent through the procurement of fixed-rate borrowings from the FHLB. Also refer to “Market Risk Management” in our 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Controls and Procedures

We maintain a system of disclosure controls and procedures that is designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed is accumulated and communicated to management in an appropriate manner to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  Management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, or persons performing similar functions, reviewed this system of disclosure controls and procedures and believes that our disclosure controls and procedures (as that term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act) were effective, as of the end of the period covered by this report, in recording, processing, summarizing and reporting information required to be disclosed in reports that we file or submit under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.  No significant changes were made in our internal controls over financial reporting during the last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 1
Legal Proceedings

We may be party to legal actions which arise from time to time as part of the normal course of our business.  We believe, after consultation with legal counsel, that we have meritorious defenses in these actions, and that litigation contingency liability, if any, will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

We are responsible for our proportionate share of certain litigation indemnifications provided to Visa U.S.A. by its member banks in connection with lawsuits related to anti-trust charges and interchange fees. For further details, see Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of our 2009 Form 10-K.

Risk Factors

Except as noted below, there have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in our 2009 Form 10-K. Refer to “Risk Factors” in our 2009 Form 10-K, pages 13 through 19.

The Impact of New Financial Reform Legislation is Yet to be Determined

On July 21, 2010, President Obama signed into law the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Act”), a landmark financial reform bill comprised of new rules and restrictions that will impact banks going forward. It includes key provisions aimed at preventing a repeat of the 2008 financial crisis and a new process for winding down failing, systemically important institutions in a manner as close to a controlled bankruptcy as possible.  The Act includes other key provisions as follows:

(1) The Act establishes a new Financial Stability Oversight Council to monitor systemic financial risks. The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve (“Fed”) are given extensive new authorities to impose strict controls on large bank holding companies with total consolidated assets equal to or in excess of $50 billion and systemically significant nonbank financial companies to limit the risk they might pose for the economy and to other large interconnected companies. The Fed can also take direct control of troubled financial companies that are considered systemically significant.

(2) The Act also establishes a new independent Federal regulatory body for consumer protection within the Federal Reserve System known as the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection (the "Bureau"), which will assume responsibility for most consumer protection laws (except the Community Reinvestment Act). It will also be in charge of setting appropriate consumer banking fees and caps. The Office of Comptroller of the Currency will continue to have authority to preempt state banking and consumer protection laws if these laws "prevent or significantly" interfere with the business of banking.

(3) The Act restricts the amount of trust preferred securities (“TPS”) that may be considered as Tier 1 Capital. For depository institution holding companies below $15 billion in total assets, TPS issued before May 19, 2010 will be grandfathered, so their status as Tier 1 capital does not change. However going forward, TPS will be disallowed as Tier 1 capital. Beginning January 1, 2013, Bank holding companies above $15 billion in assets will have a three-year phase-in period to fill the capital gap caused by the disallowance of the TPS issued before May 19, 2010.

BANK OF MARIN BANCORP

(4) The Act effects changes in the FDIC assessment base with stricter oversight.  A new council of regulators led by the U.S. Treasury will set higher requirements for the amount of cash banks must keep on hand. FDIC insurance coverage is made permanent at the $250 thousand level retroactive to January 1, 2008 and unlimited FDIC insurance is provided for noninterest-bearing transaction accounts in all banks effective December 31, 2010 through the end of 2012. Further, the Act removes the prohibition on payments of interest on demand deposit accounts as of July 21, 2011.  Thus, if a depositor sweeps any amount in excess of $250 thousand from a noninterest-bearing transaction account to an interest bearing demand deposit, there is no FDIC insurance coverage on the portion that is over $250 thousand coverage limit.

(5) The Act places certain limitations on investment and other activities by depository institutions, holding companies and their affiliates.

The impact of the Act on our banking operations is still uncertain due to the massive volume of new rules still subject to adoption and interpretation.
