BOSTON PRIVATE FINANCIAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements



1.
Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Boston Private Financial Holdings, Inc. (the "Company" or "BPFH"), is a holding company with three reportable segments: Private Banking, Investment Management, and Wealth Advisory.
On May 27, 2011, Boston Private Bank & Trust Company (the "Bank" or "Boston Private Bank"), a trust company chartered by The Commonwealth of Massachusetts, insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC"), and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, merged, as the surviving bank, with Borel Private Bank & Trust Company ("Borel"), First Private Bank & Trust ("FPB"), and Charter Private Bank ("Charter"), all of which were also wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company.
Boston Private Bank operates primarily in four geographic markets: New England, San Francisco Bay, Southern California, and the Pacific Northwest. The Bank currently conducts business under the name of Boston Private Bank & Trust Company in its New England, Southern California, and Pacific Northwest markets. In its San Francisco Bay market, the Bank currently conducts business under the name of Borel Private Bank & Trust Company, A Division of Boston Private Bank & Trust Company.
The Investment Management segment has two consolidated affiliate partners, consisting of Dalton, Greiner, Hartman, Maher & Co., LLC ("DGHM") and Anchor Capital Holdings, LLC ("Anchor") (together, the "Investment Managers").
The Wealth Advisory segment has two consolidated affiliate partners, KLS Professional Advisors Group, LLC ("KLS") and Bingham, Osborn & Scarborough, LLC ("BOS"), (together, the "Wealth Advisors"). In addition, at December 31, 2010, the Company held an equity interest in Coldstream Holdings, Inc. of approximately 45%, which it sold in January 2011. In the second quarter of 2012, the Company sold its affiliate Davidson Trust Company ("DTC"). The Company recorded a gain of $0.8 million on the DTC transaction, which includes $0.6 million of tax benefits. Accordingly, prior period and current financial information related to DTC is included with discontinued operations.
The Company conducts substantially all of its business through its three reportable segments. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"), and include all necessary adjustments of a normal recurring nature which, in the opinion of management, are required for a fair presentation of the results of operations and financial condition of the Company. The interim results of consolidated operations are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire year.
The information in this report should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Prior period amounts are reclassified whenever necessary to conform to the current period presentation.
The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in Part II. Item 8. "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data - Note 1: Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, as filed with the SEC. For interim reporting purposes, the Company follows the same significant accounting policies, except for earnings per share, as described below.

8



Earnings Per Share (“EPS”)
Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income/ (loss) attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock (such as stock options, among others) were exercised or converted into additional common shares that would then share in the earnings of the entity. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the year, plus an incremental number of common-equivalent shares computed using the treasury stock method. Dilutive potential common shares could consist of: stock options, performance-based restricted stock, warrants or other dilutive securities, and conversion of the convertible trust preferred securities. Additionally, when dilutive, interest expense (net of tax) related to the convertible trust preferred securities is added back to net income attributable to common shareholders. The calculation of diluted EPS excludes the potential dilution of common shares and the inclusion of any related expenses if the effect is antidilutive.
Unvested time-based restricted stock and Series B Non-Cumulative Perpetual Contingent Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series B Preferred”), both of which include the right to receive non-forfeitable dividends, are considered to participate with common stock in undistributed earnings for purposes of computing EPS. Companies, such as BPFH, that have such participating securities are required to calculate basic EPS using the two-class method and diluted EPS using the more dilutive amount resulting from the application of either the two-class method or the if-converted method. Calculations of EPS under the two-class method (i) exclude from the numerator any dividends paid or owed on participating securities and any undistributed earnings considered to be attributable to participating securities and (ii) exclude from the denominator the dilutive impact of the participating securities. Calculations of EPS under the if-converted method (i) include in the numerator any dividends paid or owed on participating securities and (ii) include the dilutive impact of the participating securities using the treasury stock method.

2.
Earnings Per Share
In the first quarter of 2012, the Company reassessed whether its Series B Preferred stock, which was issued in the third quarter of 2008, should qualify as a participating security for purposes of EPS calculations. It was determined that the Series B Preferred stock does qualify as a participating security. As a result of this reassessment, the two-class method of calculating EPS should be applied for periods when there was net income, both current and historical, since the issuance of the Series B Preferred stock.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, this calculation change identified immaterial errors in certain basic EPS amounts previously reported. There are no changes to diluted EPS amounts for these periods. Basic EPS from continuing operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 were previously reported as $0.17 and $0.15, respectively, as compared to the corrected amounts presented below of $0.15 and $0.13, respectively. Basic EPS attributable to common shareholders for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 were previously reported as $0.19 and $0.19 as compared to the corrected amounts presented below of $0.17 and $0.17, respectively. Basic EPS from discontinued operations was not impacted for these periods. There was no impact on the loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The impact on EPS amounts for the second half of 2011 is also immaterial. There was no impact on the loss per share amounts for other historical periods since the issuance of the Series B Preferred stock. The two class method of calculating EPS is presented below for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011.  
The computations of basic and diluted earnings per share ("EPS") are set forth below:

See Part II. Item 8. “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data—Note 16: Noncontrolling Interests” in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 for a description of the redemption values related to the redeemable noncontrolling interests. In accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”), an increase in redemption value from period to period reduces income attributable to common shareholders. Decreases in redemption value from period to period increase income attributable to common shareholders, but only to the extent that the cumulative change in redemption value remains a cumulative increase since adoption of this standard in the first quarter of 2009.

The diluted EPS computations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 do not assume the conversion, exercise, or contingent issuance of the following shares for these periods because the result would have been anti-dilutive for the periods indicated. As a result of the anti-dilution, the potential common shares excluded from the diluted EPS computation are as follows:

(a)
If the effect of the conversion of the trust preferred securities would have been dilutive, interest expense, net of tax, related to the convertible trust preferred securities of $0.3 million and $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and of $0.6 million and $0.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, would have been added back to net income/ (loss) attributable to common shareholders for diluted EPS computations for the periods presented.
(b)
Options to purchase shares of common stock, non-participating restricted stock, and other dilutive securities that were outstanding at period ends were not included in the computation of diluted EPS or in the above anti-dilution table because their exercise or conversion prices were greater than the average market price of the common shares during the respective periods. Shares excluded from the diluted EPS computation are listed in the second table above for each respective period.
(c)
Certain warrants to purchase shares of common stock that were outstanding at period ends were not included in the computations of diluted EPS because the warrants' exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common shares during the respective period. Shares excluded from the diluted EPS computation are listed in the second table above for each respective period. See Part II. Item 8. "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data—Note 27: Subsequent Events" in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 for a discussion of the 2012 repurchase of the Carlyle warrants and the Director's warrants.

The U.S. government and agencies security, government-sponsored entities securities, and mortgage-backed securities in the table above had a Standard and Poor’s credit rating of AA+. The corporate bond in the table above had a Moody’s credit rating of Baa3. The municipal bonds in the table above had Moody’s credit ratings of at least Aa1 or Standard and Poor's credit ratings of at least AA+. The other securities consisted of equity securities.
At June 30, 2012, the amount of investment securities in an unrealized loss position greater than 12 months as well as in total was not significant and was primarily due to movements in interest rates. The Company has no intent to sell any securities in an unrealized loss position at June 30, 2012 and it is not more likely than not that the Company would be forced to sell any of these securities prior to the full recovery of all unrealized loss amounts.
Cost method investments, which are included in other assets, can be temporarily impaired when the fair values decline below the amortized costs of the individual investments. There were no cost method investments with unrealized losses at June 30, 2012. The Company invests primarily in low income housing partnerships which generate tax credits. The Company also holds partnership interests in venture capital funds formed to provide financing to small businesses and to promote community development. The Company had $23.2 million and $22.3 million in cost method investments included in other assets at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined under GAAP as the exchange price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The Company determines the fair values of its financial instruments based on the fair value hierarchy established in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures ("ASC 820"), which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value. Financial instruments are considered Level 1 when valuation can be based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 financial instruments are valued using quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or models using inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data of substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Financial instruments are considered Level 3 when their values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable and when determination of the fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.
The following tables present the Company's assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, aggregated by the level in the fair value hierarchy within which those measurements fall:

At June 30, 2012, available for sale securities consisted primarily of U.S. government and agency securities, government-sponsored entities securities, corporate bonds, municipal bonds, mortgage-backed securities, and other available for sale securities. The U.S. government and agency securities and equities (which are categorized as other available for sale securities) are valued with prices quoted in active markets. Therefore, they have been categorized as a Level 1 measurement. The government-sponsored entities securities, corporate bonds, municipal bonds, mortgage-backed securities, and certain investments in Small Business Administration ("SBA") loans (which are categorized as U.S. government and agencies available for sale securities) generally have quoted prices but are traded less frequently than exchange-traded securities and can be priced using market data from similar assets. Therefore, they have been categorized as a Level 2 measurement. No investments held at June 30, 2012 were categorized as Level 3.
At December 31, 2011, available for sale securities consisted primarily of U.S. government and agency securities, government-sponsored entities securities, corporate bonds, municipal bonds, mortgage-backed securities, and other available for sale securities. The U.S. government and agency securities and equities (which are categorized as other available for sale securities) are valued with prices quoted in active markets. Therefore, they have been categorized as a Level 1 measurement. The government-sponsored entities securities, corporate bonds, municipal bonds, mortgage-backed securities, and certain investments in SBA loans (which are categorized as U.S. government and agencies available for sale securities) generally have quoted prices but are traded less frequently than exchange-traded securities and can be priced using market data from similar assets. Therefore, they have been categorized as a Level 2 measurement. No investments held at December 31, 2011 were categorized as Level 3.

BOSTON PRIVATE FINANCIAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements - (Continued)

The Company uses interest rate customer swaps and a junior subordinated debenture interest rate swap to manage its interest rate risk, and customer foreign exchange forward contracts to manage its foreign exchange risk. The valuation of these instruments is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities. Therefore, they have been categorized as a Level 2 measurement. See Part I. Item 1. "Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements-Note 8: Derivatives and Hedging Activities" for further details.

To comply with the provisions of ASC 820, the Company incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both its own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty's nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. In adjusting the fair value of its derivative contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, the Company has considered the impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements, such as collateral postings, thresholds, mutual puts and guarantees. Counterparty exposure is evaluated by netting positions that are subject to master netting agreements, as well as considering the amount of collateral securing the position. The Company met the criteria for and, effective January 1, 2012, elected to apply the accounting policy exception with respect to measuring counterparty credit risk for derivative transactions subject to master netting arrangements provided in Accounting Standards Updates ("ASU") 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS ("ASU 2011-04"). Electing this policy exception had no impact on financial statement presentation.
The Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, although the credit valuation adjustments associated with its derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by itself and its counterparties. As a result, the Company has determined that its derivative valuations in their entirety are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Other investments, which are not considered available for sale investments, consist of deferred compensation trusts for the benefit of certain current or former employees, which consist of publicly traded mutual fund investments that are valued at prices quoted in active markets. Therefore, they have been categorized as a Level 1 measurement. The remaining other investments categorized as Level 2 consist of the Company's cost-method investments.
The following tables present a rollforward of the Level 3 assets for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011. There were no Level 3 assets at December 31, 2011, March 31, 2012, or June 30, 2012.

Impaired loans include those loans that were adjusted to the fair value of underlying collateral as required under ASC 310. The amount does not include impaired loans that are measured based on expected future cash flows discounted at the respective loan's original effective interest rate, as that amount is not considered a fair value measurement. The Company uses appraisals, which management may adjust to reflect estimated fair value declines, or apply other discounts to appraised values for unobservable factors resulting from its knowledge of the property or consideration of broker quotes. The appraisers use a market, income, and/or a cost approach in determining the value of the collateral. Therefore they have been categorized as a Level 3 measurement.

BOSTON PRIVATE FINANCIAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements - (Continued)

The estimated fair values have been determined by using available quoted market information or other appropriate valuation methodologies. The aggregate fair value amounts presented do not represent the underlying value of the Company taken as a whole.
The fair value estimates provided are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and the characteristics of the financial instrument. The estimates do not provide for any premiums or discounts that could result from concentrations of ownership of a financial instrument. Because no active market exists for some of the Company's financial instruments, certain fair value estimates are based on subjective judgments regarding current economic conditions, risk characteristics of the financial instruments, future expected loss experience, prepayment assumptions, and other factors. The resulting estimates involve uncertainties and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes made to any of the underlying assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.
Cash and cash equivalents
The carrying value reported in the balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of their maturities and are classified as Level 1.
Loans, net (including loans held for sale)
Fair value estimates are based on loans with similar financial characteristics. Fair values of commercial and residential mortgage loans are estimated by discounting contractual cash flows adjusted for prepayment estimates and using discount rates approximately equal to current market rates on loans with similar credit and interest rate characteristics and maturities. The fair value estimates for home equity and other loans are based on outstanding loan terms and pricing in the local markets. The method of estimating the fair value of the loans disclosed in the table above does not incorporate the exit price concept in the presentation of the fair value of these financial instruments. Loans are included in the Level 3 fair value category based upon the inputs and valuation techniques used.
Other financial assets

Other financial assets consist of accrued interest and fees receivable, stock in Federal Home Loan Banks ("FHLBs"), and the cash surrender value of bank-owned life insurance, for which the carrying amount approximates fair value, and are classified as Level 2.
The Company carries the FHLB stock at the original cost basis (par value) and is classified as Level 2. Subsequent to the bank merger on May 27, 2011, the only FHLB that the Bank is a member of is Boston. FHLB stock in both the FHLBs of San Francisco and Seattle is still owned by the Bank. At the time of the bank merger there were outstanding FHLB borrowings with both the FHLBs of San Francisco and Seattle. Until these borrowings in the FHLBs of San Francisco and Seattle mature and are subsequently paid off, the FHLB stock associated with these borrowings cannot be redeemed. The Bank has requested to redeem the excess FHLB stock in these two FHLBs above the amount required for the related borrowings. The FHLBs may wait up to five years from the redemption request to redeem the stock. Of the $43.1 million of stock in FHLBs held at June 30, 2012, $13.1 million, or 30%, of the balance related to stock held in the FHLBs of San Francisco and Seattle.
At each period end, the Company evaluates its investment in the respective FHLB's stock for other-than-temporary impairment. The Company has not recognized an other-than-temporary impairment loss with respect to stock in the FHLBs, based on the following considerations: the Company's evaluation of the underlying investment, including the long-term nature of the asset; the liquidity position of the respective FHLBs; the actions being taken by the respective FHLBs to address their regulatory situations; the improving financial position; and the 2011 and first and/or second quarter 2012 redemptions at par of a portion of FHLB stock held in the Boston and San Francisco FHLBs.

Deposits
The fair values reported for transaction accounts (demand, NOW, savings, and money market) equal their respective book values reported on the balance sheets and are classified as Level 2. The fair values disclosed are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair values for certificates of deposit are based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The discount rates used are representative of approximate rates currently offered on certificates of deposit with similar remaining maturities and are classified as Level 2.
Securities sold under agreements to repurchase
The fair value of securities sold under agreements to repurchase are estimated based on contractual cash flows discounted at the Bank's incremental borrowing rate for FHLB borrowings with similar maturities and have been classified as Level 2.

Federal funds purchased

The carrying amount of federal funds purchased approximates fair value due to their short-term nature and have been classified as Level 2.
Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings
The fair value reported for FHLB borrowings is estimated based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The discount rate used is based on the Bank's estimated current incremental borrowing rate for FHLB borrowings of similar maturities and have been classified as Level 2.
Junior subordinated debentures

The fair value of the junior subordinated debentures issued by Boston Private Capital Trust I was based on the current market price of the securities at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 and have been classified as Level 2. The fair value of the junior subordinated debentures issued by Boston Private Capital Trust II and the junior subordinated debentures acquired in the acquisitions of FPB, Gibraltar Private Bank and Trust Company (Gibraltar Private Bank and Trust Company was subsequently sold in 2009), and Charter approximates book value because of the floating rate nature of the securities and are classified as Level 2.
Other financial liabilities
Other financial liabilities consist of accrued interest payable and deferred compensation for which the carrying amount approximates fair value and are classified as Level 2.
Financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk
The Bank's commitments to originate loans and for unused lines and outstanding letters of credit are primarily at market interest rates and therefore, the carrying amount approximates fair value.

Loans Receivable and Credit Quality
The Bank's lending activities are conducted principally in New England, San Francisco Bay, Southern California, and the Pacific Northwest. The Bank originates single and multi-family residential loans, commercial real estate loans, commercial and industrial loans, construction and land loans, and home equity and other consumer loans. The Bank may also purchase high quality residential mortgage loans as a way to increase volumes more efficiently. Most loans are secured by borrowers’ personal or business assets. The ability of the Bank's single family residential and consumer borrowers to honor their repayment commitments is generally dependent on the level of overall economic conditions within the Bank's lending areas. Commercial, construction, and land borrowers’ ability to repay is generally dependent upon the health of the economy and real estate values, including the performance of the construction sector in particular. Accordingly, the ultimate collectability of a substantial portion of the Bank's loan portfolio is susceptible to changing conditions in the New England, San Francisco Bay, Southern California, and Pacific Northwest economies and real estate markets.
Total loans include deferred loan fees/ (costs), net, of $(3.5) million and $(3.2) million as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. Deferred loan fees/ (costs) include unamortized premiums or discounts related to mortgage loans purchased by the Bank.

The Bank's policy is to discontinue the accrual of interest on a loan when the collectability of principal or interest is in doubt. In certain instances, although infrequent, loans that have become 90 days or more past due may remain on accrual status if the value of the collateral securing the loan is sufficient to cover principal and interest and the loan is in the process of collection. There was an immaterial amount of loans 90 days or more past due, but still accruing, as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011. The Bank's policy for returning a loan to accrual status requires the loan to be brought current and for the client to show a history of making timely payments (generally six months). For troubled debt restructured loans ("TDR"s), a return to accrual status generally requires timely payments for a period of six months, along with meeting other criteria. TDRs are assessed on a case-by-case basis.

Includes an additional $32 thousand of accruing construction and land loans that are 90 days or greater past due.
Nonaccruing and delinquent loans are affected by factors, including economic and business conditions, such as interest rates, and unemployment levels, real estate collateral values, among others. In periods of prolonged economic declines, borrowers may become more severely impacted over time as liquidity levels decline and the borrower's ability to continue to make payments deteriorates. With respect to real estate collateral values, the declines from the peak, as well as the value of the real estate at the time of origination versus the current value, can impact the level of problem loans. For instance, if the loan to value ratio at the time of renewal has increased due to the decline in the real estate value since origination, the loan may no longer meet the Bank's underwriting standards and not be renewed.

26

BOSTON PRIVATE FINANCIAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements - (Continued)

Generally when a collateral dependent commercial loan becomes impaired, an updated appraisal of the collateral, if appropriate, is obtained. In limited circumstances, an updated appraisal is obtained on residential and home equity loans that are classified as impaired. If the impaired loan has not been upgraded to a performing status within a reasonable amount of time, the Bank continues to obtain newer appraisals, approximately every 12 to 18 months or sooner, if deemed necessary, especially during periods of declining values.
The past due status of a loan is determined in accordance with its contractual repayment terms. All loan types are reported past due when one scheduled payment is due and unpaid for 30 days or more.
Credit Quality Indicators
The Bank uses a risk rating system to monitor the credit quality of its loan portfolio. Loan classifications are assessments made by the Bank of the status of the loans based on the facts and circumstances known to the Bank, including management's judgment, at the time of assessment. Some or all of these classifications may change in the future if there are unexpected changes in the financial condition of the borrower, including but not limited to, changes resulting from continuing deterioration in general economic conditions on a national basis or in the local markets in which the Bank operates adversely affecting, among other things, real estate values. Such conditions, as well as other factors which adversely affect borrowers' ability to service or repay loans, typically result in changes in loan default and charge-off rates, and increased provisions for loan losses, which would adversely affect the Company's financial performance and financial condition. These circumstances are not entirely foreseeable and, as a result, it may not be possible to accurately reflect them in the Company's analysis of credit risk.
A summary of the rating system used by the Bank, repeated here from Part II. Item 8. "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data—Note 1: Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies," in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 follows:
Acceptable or Pass - All loans graded as acceptable or pass are considered acceptable credit quality by the Bank and are grouped for purposes of calculating the allowance for loan losses. Only commercial loans, including commercial real estate, commercial and industrial loans, and construction and land loans are given a numerical grade. For residential, home equity and consumer loans, the Bank classifies loans as acceptable or pass unless there is known information such as delinquency or client requests for modifications which would then generally result in a risk rating such as special mention or more severe depending on the factors.
Special Mention - Loans rated in this category are defined as having potential weaknesses that deserve management's close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may, at some future date, result in the deterioration of the repayment prospects for the credit or the Bank's credit position. These loans are currently protected but have the potential to deteriorate to a substandard rating. For commercial loans, the borrower's financial performance may be inconsistent or below forecast, creating the possibility of liquidity problems and shrinking debt service coverage. In loans having this rating, the primary source of repayment is still good, but there is increasing reliance on collateral or guarantor support. Collectability of the loan is not yet in jeopardy. In particular, loans in this category are considered more variable than other categories, since they will typically migrate through categories more quickly.
Substandard - Loans rated in this category are inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. A substandard credit has a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Substandard loans may be either still accruing or nonaccruing depending upon the severity of the risk and other factors such as the value of the collateral, if any, and past due status.
Doubtful - Loans rated in this category indicate that collection or liquidation in full on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values, is highly questionable and improbable. Loans in this category are usually on nonaccrual and are classified as impaired.

Recorded investment represents the client loan balance net of historical charge-offs of $18.2 million and historical nonaccrual interest paid, which was applied to principal, of $3.5 million.
When management determines that it is probable that the Bank will not collect all principal and interest on a loan in accordance with the original loan terms, or in accordance with its restructured terms, if the loan is a TDR, the loan is designated as impaired.
Loans that are designated as impaired require an analysis to determine the amount of impairment, if any. Impairment would be indicated as a result of the carrying value of the loan exceeding the estimated collateral value, less costs to sell, for collateral dependent loans or the net present value of the projected cash flow, discounted at the loan's contractual effective interest rate, for loans not considered to be collateral dependent. Generally, shortfalls in the analysis on collateral dependent loans would result in the impairment amount being charged-off to the allowance for loan losses. Shortfalls on cash flow dependent loans may be carried as specific allocations to the general reserve unless a known loss is determined to have occurred, in which case such known loss is charged-off.

31

BOSTON PRIVATE FINANCIAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements - (Continued)

Loans in the held for sale category are carried at the lower of cost or estimated fair value in the aggregate and are excluded from the allowance for loan losses analysis.
The Bank may, under certain circumstances, restructure loans as a concession to borrowers who have experienced financial difficulty. Such loans are classified as TDRs and are included in impaired loans. TDRs typically result from the Company’s loss mitigation activities which, among other activities, could include rate reductions, payment extensions, and/or principal forgiveness. TDRs totaled $57.2 million and $55.3 million at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. Of the $57.2 million in TDR loans at June 30, 2012, $26.7 million were on accrual status. Of the $55.3 million in TDR loans at December 31, 2011, $27.4 million were on accrual status.
Since all TDR loans are considered impaired loans, they are individually evaluated for impairment. The resulting impairment, if any, would have an impact on the allowance for loan losses as a specific reserve or charge-off. If, prior to the classification as a TDR, the loan was not impaired, there would have been a general reserve on the particular loan. Therefore, depending upon the result of the impairment analysis, there could be an increase or decrease in the related allowance for loan losses. Many loans initially categorized as TDRs are already on nonaccrual status and are already considered impaired. Therefore, there is generally not a material change to the allowance for loan losses when a loan is categorized as a TDR. The following tables present the balance of troubled debt restructured loans that were restructured or defaulted during the periods indicated:

Derivatives and Hedging Activities
The Company is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. The Company principally manages its exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of its core business activities. The Company manages economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity, and credit risk, primarily by managing the amount, sources, and duration of its assets and liabilities and, to a lesser extent, the use of derivative financial instruments. Specifically, the Company enters into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures that arise from business activities that result in the receipt or payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the value of which are generally determined by interest rates. The Company's derivative financial instruments are used to manage differences in the amount, timing, and duration of the Company's known or expected cash receipts and its known or expected cash payments principally related to certain variable rate loan assets and variable rate borrowings.
The table below presents the fair value of the Company's derivative financial instruments as well as their classification on the consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk
The Company's objective in using derivatives is to add stability to interest income and expense and to manage the risk related to exposure to changes in interest rates. To accomplish this objective, the Holding Company entered into an interest rate swap in the second quarter of 2010 with a notional amount of $75 million related to the Holding Company's cash outflows associated with the subordinated debt related to trust preferred securities to protect against rising London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR"). The interest rate swap had an effective date of December 30, 2010 and a term of five years. As of December 30, 2010, the subordinated debt switched from a fixed rate of 6.25% to a variable rate of three-month LIBOR plus 1.68%. The interest rate swap effectively fixed the Holding Company's interest rate payments on the $75 million of debt at 4.45%.

38

BOSTON PRIVATE FINANCIAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements - (Continued)

The Company uses the "Hypothetical Derivative Method" described in ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging ("ASC 815"), for quarterly prospective and retrospective assessments of hedge effectiveness, as well as for measurements of hedge ineffectiveness. Under this method, the Company assesses the effectiveness of each hedging relationship by comparing the changes in cash flows of the derivative hedging instrument with the changes in cash flows of the designated hedged transactions. The effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is initially reported in other comprehensive income ("OCI") (outside of earnings) and subsequently reclassified to earnings in interest and dividend income when the hedged transactions affect earnings. Ineffectiveness resulting from the hedge is recorded as a gain or loss in the consolidated statement of operations as part of fees and other income. The Holding Company had no hedge ineffectiveness recognized in earnings during the three or six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011. The Holding Company also monitors the risk of counterparty default on an ongoing basis.
A portion of the balance reported in accumulated other comprehensive income related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest income or expense as interest payments are made or received on the Holding Company's interest rate swap. During the next twelve months, the Holding Company estimates that $1.7 million will be reclassified as an increase in interest expense.
Non-designated Hedges
Derivatives not designated as hedges are not speculative and result from two different services the Bank provides to qualified commercial clients. The Bank offers certain derivative products directly to such clients. The Bank economically hedges derivative transactions executed with commercial clients by entering into mirror-image, offsetting derivatives with third parties. Derivative transactions executed as part of these programs are not designated in ASC 815-qualifying hedging relationships and are, therefore, marked-to-market through earnings each period. Because the derivatives have mirror-image contractual terms, the changes in fair value substantially offset through earnings. Fees earned in connection with the execution of derivatives related to this program are recognized in the consolidated statement of operations in other income. The derivative asset and liability values above include an adjustment related to the consideration of credit risk required under ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures ("ASC 820"), of less than $0.1 million in earnings for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011. At June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Bank had 12 interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional amount of $102.2 million and $102.7 million, respectively, related to this program. As of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Bank also had eight and two, respectively, foreign currency exchange contracts with notional amounts of $5.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively, related to this program.

The Holding Company and the Bank have agreements with their derivative counterparties that contain provisions where, if the Holding Company or Bank defaults on any of its indebtedness, including default where repayment of the indebtedness has not been accelerated by the lender, then the Holding Company or the Bank could also be declared in default on its derivative obligations. The Holding Company and the Bank were in compliance with these provisions as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

39

BOSTON PRIVATE FINANCIAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements - (Continued)

The Holding Company and the Bank also have agreements with certain of their derivative counterparties that contain provisions where, if the Holding Company or Bank fails to maintain its status as a well- or adequately-capitalized institution, then the counterparty could terminate the derivative positions and the Holding Company or the Bank would be required to settle its obligations under the agreements. The Holding Company and the Bank were in compliance with these provisions as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011.
Certain of the Holding Company and the Bank's agreements with their derivative counterparties contain provisions where if specified events or conditions occur that materially change the Holding Company's or the Bank's creditworthiness in an adverse manner, the Holding Company or the Bank may be required to fully collateralize their obligations under the derivative instruments. The Holding Company and the Bank were in compliance with these provisions as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011.
As of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the termination amounts related to collateral determinations of derivatives in a liability position was $9.5 million and $9.9 million, respectively. The Holding Company has minimum collateral posting thresholds with its derivative counterparty and has posted collateral of $8.0 million as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, against its obligation under this agreement.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements - (Continued)

The effective tax rate for continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2012 of 30.1%, with related tax expense of $9.1 million, was calculated based on a projected 2012 annual effective tax rate. The effective tax rate was less than the statutory rate of 35% due primarily to earnings from tax-exempt investments, income tax credits, and income attributable to noncontrolling interests. These savings were partially offset by state and local income taxes.
The effective tax rate for continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2011 of 24.0%, with related tax expense of $4.0 million, was calculated based on a projected 2011 annual effective tax rate. The effective tax rate was less than the statutory rate of 35% due primarily to earnings from tax-exempt investments, income tax credits, and income attributable to noncontrolling interests. These items were partially offset by state and local income taxes.
The effective tax rate for continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2012 is greater than the effective tax rate for the same period in 2011 due primarily to earnings from tax-exempt investments, income tax credits, and income attributable to noncontrolling interests having a smaller impact on the effective tax rate, due primarily to the higher level of income before taxes in 2012 as compared to 2011.
Due to the sale of DTC in the second quarter of 2012, the results of operations related to DTC are included in “discontinued operations” in the table above. Contingent consideration related to the 2009 divestiture of certain affiliates, primarily related to the revenue sharing agreement with Westfield Capital Management Company, LLC, is also reflected under “discontinued operations” in the table above. The profits and losses attributable to owners other than the Company are reflected under “noncontrolling interests” in the table above.

10.
Noncontrolling Interests
At the Company, noncontrolling interests typically consist of equity owned by management of the Company’s respective majority-owned affiliates. Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests in the consolidated statements of operations represents the net income allocated to the noncontrolling interest owners of the affiliates. Net income allocated to the noncontrolling interest owners was $0.8 million for both the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, and $1.6 million and $1.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. To the extent that the increase in the estimated maximum redemption amounts exceeds the net income attributable to the noncontrolling interests, such excess reduces net income available to common shareholders for purposes of EPS computations.
Noncontrolling interests which are not redeemable as provided in ASC 480, are included in shareholders’ equity in the consolidated balance sheets, and include the capital and undistributed profits owned by the noncontrolling partner. The Company had no noncontrolling interests included in shareholder's equity at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011.
Each affiliate operating agreement provides the Company and/or the noncontrolling interests with contingent call or put redemption features used for the orderly transfer of noncontrolling equity interests between the affiliate minority shareholders and the Company at fair value. Fair value is generally defined in the operating agreements as a multiple of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization. The aggregate amount of such redeemable noncontrolling interests at the estimated maximum redemption amounts of $19.2 million and $21.7 million are included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. The Company may liquidate these noncontrolling interests with cash, shares of the Company’s common stock, or other forms of consideration dependent on the operating agreement. These agreements are discussed in Part II. Item 8. "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data – Note 16: Noncontrolling Interests" in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.
Generally, these put and call options refer to shareholder rights of both the Company and the noncontrolling interests of the Company's majority-owned affiliate companies. The affiliate company noncontrolling interests generally take the form of LLC units, profits interests, or common stock (collectively, the "noncontrolling equity interests"). In most circumstances, the put and call options generally relate to the Company's right and, in some cases, obligation to purchase and the noncontrolling equity interests’ right to sell their equity interests. There are various events that could cause the puts or calls to be exercised, such as a change in control, death, disability, retirement, resignation or termination. The puts and calls are generally to be exercised at the then fair value, as may be defined in the respective agreements. The terms of these rights vary and are governed by the respective individual operating and legal documents that were negotiated at the time of acquisition of the respective affiliates.

Restructuring
On May 27, 2011, the Company completed the legal consolidation of its four private banks, operating in the New England, San Francisco Bay, Southern California and Pacific Northwest markets, under one unified charter based in Massachusetts. Restructuring charges related to the merger generally consist of severance charges, costs to terminate contracts, legal, audit and consulting costs, and other costs. The Company estimates that such charges will result in approximately $9.1 million in restructuring expense, of which $8.8 million has been expensed in 2011 and the first six months of 2012. The Company has substantially completed the restructuring as planned in the first half of 2012. Restructuring expenses incurred in 2011 and the first six months of 2012 by the Private Banking segment amounted to $6.2 million, with the remaining $2.6 million incurred by the Holding Company. The following table summarizes the restructuring activity for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2011, the FASB issued new guidance, ASU 2011-04. The amendments in this update further clarify the requirements in U.S. GAAP for measuring fair value and enhance the disclosures for information about fair value measurements. The new guidance was effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011, and its adoption did not have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In June 2011, the FASB issued new guidance, ASU 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income. Under this new guidance, an entity must present the components of net income and comprehensive income in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. The new guidance eliminates the option to present other comprehensive income in the statement of shareholders’ equity. The new guidance was effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-12, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in ASU No. 2011-05, which defers indefinitely certain changes related to the presentation of reclassification adjustments in ASU 2011-05. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In September 2011, the FASB issued new guidance, ASU 2011-08, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment. This new guidance allows entities to perform a qualitative assessment to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value in order to determine if quantitative testing is required. This qualitative assessment is optional and is intended to reduce the cost and complexity of annual goodwill impairment tests. The new guidance was effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011 and early adoption was allowed provided the entity had not yet performed its 2011 impairment test or issued its financial statements. The adoption of this ASU for the Company's fourth quarter 2012 impairment testing is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements - (Continued)

In December 2011, the FASB issued new guidance, ASU 2011-11, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. The amendments in this update require entities to disclose both gross and net information about both instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the statement of financial position and instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after January 1, 2013 and requires a retrospective application for all comparative periods which are presented. The Company does not expect this ASU to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

13.
Subsequent Events
The Company evaluated subsequent events through the date the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements were issued. Pursuant to the requirements of ASC 855, Subsequent Events, there were no events or transactions during the subsequent event reporting period that required disclosure in the unaudited consolidated interim financial statements.

Net income attributable to the Company was $14.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012, compared to $14.5 million in the same period of 2011. The Company recognized diluted earnings per share of $0.17 for the three months ended June 30, 2012, compared to diluted earnings per share of $0.17 for the same period of 2011.
Key items that affected the Company's results in the second quarter 2012 compared to the same period of 2011 include:
The Company experienced strong loan growth, particularly in the Southern California and Pacific Northwest markets. In Southern California, the loan portfolio has increased 39% since December 31, 2011, and the Pacific Northwest loan portfolio has increased 19% over the same period.
The low interest rate environment continues to affect net interest income. Net interest margin ("NIM") increased 5 basis points to 3.35% for the three months ended June 30, 2012 as compared to the same period in 2011; however, this increase was largely due to large prepayment penalties as well as interest income recoveries on nonaccruing loans in the second quarter of 2012.
The credit quality of the loan portfolio is improving. Since December 31, 2011, the Company has experienced decreases in past due and special mention loans. Loans 30-89 days past due have decreased 47% to $14.2 million at June 30, 2012 from $27.0 million at December 31, 2011. Nonaccruing loans have declined $0.8 million from $68.1 million at December 31, 2011 to $67.4 million at June 30, 2012. Special mention loans have decreased 35% to $92.9 million at June 30, 2012 from $143.1 million at December 31, 2011; however, accruing classified loans have increased 41% to $138.3 million at June 30, 2012 from 98.2 million at December 31, 2011. The increase in accruing classified loans was primarily related to a few large loans where the borrower either lost a tenant or was notified by a current tenant that they would not be renewing their lease. In these situations the appraised value of the commercial property generally declines which can lead to the loan being downgraded depending upon the loan balance as compared to the updated appraised value.
Lower operating expenses. Total operating expenses have declined $5.6 million, or 9%, from $60.9 million for the three months ending June 30, 2011 to $55.3 million for the same period in 2012. The majority of the decrease was related to the Bank restructuring charges in 2011 and lower professional services related to loan workout in 2012. These decreases were partially offset by higher expenses in other areas such as occupancy and equipment, and salaries and benefits.
The Company's Private Banking segment reported net income attributable to the Company of $13.0 million in the second quarter of 2012, compared to net income of $12.6 million in the same period of 2011. The $0.4 million, or 3% increase in net income was a result of a decrease in professional services expense and restructuring expense, offset by decreased revenue and increased provision for loan losses for the three months ended June 30, 2012.
The Company's Investment Management segment reported net income attributable to the Company of $0.8 million

46


in the second quarter of 2012, compared to net income attributable to the Company of $1.1 million in the same period of 2011. The $0.4 million, or 31%, decrease was primarily due to a $0.7 million, or 7%, decrease in investment management and trust fees for the second quarter of 2012 compared to the same period in 2011, partially offset by decreased expenses driven by the revenue decline, such as commissions and bonuses tied to revenue. The decrease in investment management and trust fees was related to net outflows from March 31, 2011 through March 31, 2012, as most fee-based revenue is determined based on beginning-of-period AUM data. AUM decreased $0.3 billion, or 4%, from June 30, 2011 to June 30, 2012, primarily due to net outflows, partially offset by investment performance during the fourth quarter of 2011 and first quarter of 2012.
The Company's Wealth Advisory segment reported net income attributable to the Company of $1.1 million in the second quarter of 2012, consistent with net income attributable to the Company of $1.1 million in the same period of 2011. A $0.6 million, or 7%, increase in wealth advisory fee revenue was offset by a $0.5 million, or 8%, increase in operating expenses, particularly professional services expense. AUM increased $0.3 billion, or 4%, from June 30, 2011 to June 30, 2012, all of which related to net inflows.

Critical Accounting Policies
Critical accounting policies reflect significant judgments and uncertainties, and could potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. The Company believes that its most critical accounting policies upon which its financial condition depends, and which involve the most complex or subjective decisions or assessments are the allowance for loan and lease losses, the valuation of goodwill and intangible assets and analysis for impairment, and tax estimates. These policies are discussed in Part II. Item 7. "Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Critical Accounting Policies" in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. There have been no changes to these policies through the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Total Assets. Total assets increased $214.9 million, or 4%, to $6.3 billion at June 30, 2012 from $6.0 billion at December 31, 2011. This increase was due to increases in loans, deposits, and borrowings slightly offset by decreases in cash and investments.
Cash and Investments. Total cash and investments (consisting of cash and cash equivalents, investment securities, and stock in the FHLBs) decreased $211.3 million, or 19%, to $0.9 billion, or 14% of total assets at June 30, 2012 from $1.1 billion, or 18% of total assets at December 31, 2011. The decrease was due to the $100.5 million, or 49%, decrease in cash and cash equivalents, and the $110.1 million, or 13%, decrease in investment securities. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents is the net result of short-term fluctuations in liquidity due to changes in levels of deposits, borrowings and loans outstanding. In addition, $15.0 million in cash was used during the first quarter of 2012 to repurchase all of the 5.44 million warrants held by affiliates of the Carlyle Group, and BPFH Director John Morton III.
The Bank has various internal policies and guidelines regarding liquidity, both on and off balance sheet, loans to assets ratio, and limits on the use of wholesale funds. These policies and or guidelines require certain minimum or maximum balances or ratios be maintained at all times. With the recent significant increase in loans without a corresponding increase in deposits, the Bank has relied upon either lowering cash and investments balances or increasing wholesale funds such as FHLB borrowings, federal funds and brokered deposits to fund the majority of their loan growth. In light of the provisions in the Bank's internal liquidity policies and guidelines, the Bank will carefully manage amount and timing of future loan growth along with its relevant liquidity policies and balance sheet guidelines.
The majority of the investments held by the Company are held by the Bank. The Bank's investment policy requires management to maintain a portfolio of securities which will provide liquidity necessary to facilitate funding of loans, to cover deposit fluctuations, and to mitigate the Bank's overall balance sheet exposure to interest rate risk, while at the same time earning a satisfactory return on the funds invested. The securities in which the Bank may invest are subject to regulation and are generally limited to securities that are considered "investment grade."
Investment maturities, principal payments, and sales of the Company's available for sale securities provided $0.3 billion of cash proceeds during the first six months of 2012, which was used to purchase new investments or fund a portion of loan growth. The timing of sales and reinvestments is based on various factors, including management's evaluation of interest rate trends, the credit risk of municipal securities and the Company's liquidity. The sale of investments resulted in recognized net gains for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 of $0.8 million and $0.9 million, respectively, due primarily to changes in interest rates, the majority of which were previously recorded in unrealized gains within other comprehensive income. The Company's available for sale investment portfolio carried a total of $11.1 million of unrealized gains and $0.4 million of unrealized losses at June 30, 2012, compared to $11.7 million of unrealized gains and $0.6 million of unrealized losses at December 31, 2011.
No impairment losses were recognized through earnings related to available for sale securities during the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011. The amount of investment securities in an unrealized loss position greater than 12 months as well as the total amount of unrealized losses was not significant and was primarily due to movements in interest rates since the securities were purchased. At June 30, 2012, the Company had no intent to sell any securities in an unrealized loss position at June 30, 2012 and it is not more likely than not that the Company would be forced to sell any of these securities prior to the full recovery of all unrealized losses.
See Part I. Item 1. "Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements - Note 4: Investments" for further details of the Company's investment securities.
Loans held for sale. Loans held for sale increased $0.3 million, or 2%, to $12.3 million at June 30, 2012 from $12.1 million at December 31, 2011. Factors affecting the balance of loans held for sale include the timing and volume of residential loans originated for sale in the secondary market. The Bank sells the majority of its fixed rate loans in the secondary market to mitigate interest rate risk.
Goodwill and intangible assets, net. Goodwill and intangible assets decreased $2.2 million, or 2%, to $136.6 million at June 30, 2012 from $138.7 million at December 31, 2011. The decrease is due to amortization of intangible assets. The Company tests goodwill for impairment on an annual basis and between annual dates if events or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below its carrying value, in accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other. Management concluded at June 30, 2012 that there were no triggering events during the first six months of 2012. Further declines in AUM at one of the Company's nonbanking affiliates and related revenue losses could potentially lead to future impairment.

48



Other. Other assets, consisting of OREO, premises and equipment, fees receivable, accrued interest receivable, deferred income taxes, net, other assets, and assets of discontinued operations if any, decreased $8.9 million, or 4%, to $243.0 million at June 30, 2012 from $251.9 million at December 31, 2011. The decrease is primarily due to the decreases in assets of discontinued operations, deferred income taxes, net and OREO, partially offset by increases in other assets.
OREO decreased $2.0 million, or 40%, to $3.1 million at June 30, 2012 from $5.1 million at December 31, 2011. The decrease is primarily due to sales of OREO properties and write downs, partially offset from new loans transitioning into OREO.
Deferred income taxes, net decreased $1.8 million, or 3%, to $65.0 million at June 30, 2012 from $66.8 million at December 31, 2011. The decrease is primarily due to payments made in the first half of 2012. At June 30, 2012, no valuation allowance on the net deferred tax asset was required, other than for capital losses, due primarily to the expectation of future taxable income.
Assets of discontinued operations decreased $10.7 million, or 100%, to none at June 30, 2012 from $10.7 million at December 31, 2011. The decrease is due to the sale of Davidson Trust Company ("DTC") during the second quarter of 2012.
Other assets, which consist primarily of Bank-Owned Life Insurance, prepaid expenses, investment in partnerships, unrealized gains from interest rate derivatives, and other receivables, increased $5.9 million, or 5%, to $121.0 million at June 30, 2012 from $115.1 million at December 31, 2011. The increase is primarily due to increases in the fair value of the rabbi trust investments and other assets, slightly offset by the settlement of certain receivables and amortization of prepaid FDIC insurance.
Deposits. Total deposits increased $65.3 million, or 1%, to $4.6 billion, at June 30, 2012 from $4.5 billion at December 31, 2011.

Borrowings. Total borrowings (consisting of securities sold under agreements to repurchase, federal funds purchased, FHLB borrowings, and junior subordinated debentures) increased $142.3 million, or 17%, to $1.0 billion at June 30, 2012 from $0.8 billion at December 31, 2011. Federal funds purchased increased $85.0 million, or 100%, to $85.0 million at June 30, 2012 from none at December 31, 2011. From time to time the Bank purchases federal funds from the FHLB and other banking institutions to supplement its liquidity position. FHLB borrowings increased $94.9 million, or 18%, to $616.7 million at June 30, 2012 from $521.8 million at December 31, 2011. FHLB borrowings are generally used to provide additional funding for loan growth when it is in excess of deposit growth and to manage interest rate risk, but can also be used as an additional source of liquidity for the Bank. Repurchase agreements decreased $29.9 million, or 23%, to $100.8 million at June 30, 2012 from $130.8 million at December 31, 2011. The decrease is primarily due to the timing of large repurchase relationships which spanned the year end. Repurchase agreements are generally linked to commercial demand deposit accounts with an overnight sweep feature. Also during the first half of 2012 the Company repurchased $7.7 million of its junior subordinated debt.

49



Other. Other liabilities, consisting of liabilities of discontinued operations and other liabilities increased $0.2 million, or 0% to $96.7 million at June 30, 2012 from $96.5 million at December 31, 2011.
Liabilities of discontinued operations decreased $1.7 million, or 100%, to none at June 30, 2012 from $1.7 million at December 31, 2011. The decrease is due to the sale of DTC during the second quarter of 2012.
Other liabilities, which consist primarily of accrued interest, accrued bonus, unrealized losses from interest rate derivatives, and other accrued expenses increased $1.8 million, or 2%, to $96.7 million at June 30, 2012 from $94.8 million at December 31, 2011. The increase is primarily due to increased taxes payable.

Loan Portfolio and Credit Quality
Loans. Total portfolio loans increased $439.9 million, or 9%, to $5.1 billion, or 81%, of total assets at June 30, 2012, from $4.7 billion, or 77%, of total assets at December 31, 2011. Increases in residential loans of $168.3 million, or 9%, commercial real estate loans of $154.4 million, or 9%, commercial and industrial loans of $131.3 million, or 19%, and construction and land loans of $10.4 million, or 7%, were slightly offset by a decrease in home equity and other consumer loans of $24.4 million, or 8%. The Company does not expect the current rate of loan growth to continue for the remaining six months of 2012.
The Bank's loans are affected by the economic and real estate markets in which they are located. Generally, commercial real estate, construction, and land loans are affected more than residential loans in an economic downturn.
Geographic concentration. The following table details the Bank's outstanding loan balance concentrations at June 30, 2012 based on the location of the lender's regional offices. Net loans from the Holding Company to certain principals of the Company's affiliate partners, and loans at the Company's non-banking segments are identified as "Other, net."

The allowance for loan losses is reported as a reduction of outstanding loan balances, and totaled $99.1 million and $96.1 million at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.
The allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2012 increased $2.9 million, or 3%, from December 31, 2011. The increase in the allowance for loan losses primarily reflects the increase in the loan portfolio and additional classified loans partially offset by lower quantitative loss factors as a result of recent lower average net charge-offs as well as reduced levels of special mention loans. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans decreased 12 basis points to 1.95% at June 30, 2012 from 2.07% at December 31, 2011 as a result of the improving credit risk profile of the Bank. See Part I. Item 1. "Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements - Note 7: Allowance for Loan Losses" for an analysis of the Company’s allowance for loan losses.

50



An analysis of the risk in the loan portfolio, which includes significant management judgment, is used to determine the estimated appropriate amount of the allowance for loan losses. The Company's allowance for loan losses is comprised of three primary components (general reserve, allocated reserves on non-impaired special mention and accruing classified loans, and allocated reserves on impaired loans). In addition, the unallocated portion of the allowance for loan losses, which is not considered a significant component of the overall allowance for loan losses, primarily relates to a general assessment of the potential variability of applicable qualitative factors subject to a higher degree of variability. See Part I. Item 1. "Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements - Note 7: Allowance for Loan Losses" and the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 for further information.

Net charge-offs of $0.5 million were recorded in the second quarter of 2012, compared to $0.7 million in net recoveries in the same period of 2011. The Company believes that commercial real estate loans represent the greatest risk of loss due to the size of the portfolio and nature of the commercial real estate market. Economic and business conditions continue to have a significant impact on the loan portfolio. This can be seen in the current economic downturn where, as businesses downsize, vacancy rates increase which can lead to financial difficulties for the borrower. Commercial real estate loans have been impacted by the current economic climate which has resulted in weakened demand for retail and office space, lower lease rates, and reduced collateral values. Of the $2.8 million in net charge-offs recorded in the first six months of 2012, $2.0 million were in commercial and industrial loans, $1.3 million were in residential loans, $0.1 million were consumer loans offset by net recoveries of $0.5 million on construction and land loans and $0.1 million in home equity loans. In the first six months of 2012, $3.3 million in charge-offs on commercial real estate loans were offset by recoveries of $3.3 million.
Nonperforming assets. The Company's nonperforming assets include nonaccrual loans and OREO. OREO consists of real estate acquired through foreclosure proceedings and real estate acquired through acceptance of deeds in lieu of foreclosure. In addition, the Company may, under certain circumstances, restructure loans in troubled debt restructurings as a concession to a borrower when the borrower is experiencing financial distress. Such restructured loans are generally included in impaired loans. Nonperforming assets decreased $2.8 million, or 4%, to $70.4 million, or 1.12% of total assets at June 30, 2012, from $73.2 million, or 1.21% of total assets at December 31, 2011.

Loans 30-89 days past due and accruing include an additional $31 thousand and $32 thousand of accruing loans that were 90 days or greater past due at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.
Of the $67.4 million of loans on nonaccrual status at June 30, 2012, $45.2 million, or 67%, had a current payment status. Of the $68.1 million of nonaccrual loans at December 31, 2011, $47.2 million, or 69%, had a current payment status. In these situations, despite the loan's current payment status, if the Bank has reason to believe it may not collect all principal and interest on the loan in accordance with the related contractual terms, the Bank will generally discontinue the accrual of interest income and apply any payments received to principal. See Part I. Item 1. "Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements - Note 6: Loans Receivable" for additional detail on the payment status of nonaccrual loans.

Loans 30-89 days past due and accruing include an additional $31 thousand and $32 thousand of accruing loans that were 90 days or greater past due at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.
Nonaccruing and delinquent loans are affected by many factors including economic and business conditions, such as interest rates and unemployment levels, and real estate collateral values, among others. In periods of prolonged economic declines, borrowers may become more severely impacted over time as liquidity levels decline and the borrower's ability to continue to make payments deteriorates. With respect to real estate collateral values, the declines from the peak, as well as the value of the real estate as the time of origination versus the current value, can impact the level of problem loans. For instance, if the loan to value ratio at the time of renewal has increased due to the decline in the real estate value since origination, the loan may no longer meet the Bank's underwriting standards and not be renewed.
Delinquencies. At June 30, 2012, accruing loans with an aggregate balance of $14.2 million, or 0.28% of total loans, were 30-89 days past due, a decrease of $12.8 million, or 47%, compared to $27.0 million, or 0.58%, of total loans, at December 31, 2011. Loan delinquencies are generally the result of deteriorating economic conditions of the region and the resulting liquidity impact upon the client. The payment performance of delinquent clients can vary from month to month. Further deterioration in the credit condition of these delinquent loans could lead to the loans going to nonaccrual status and/or being downgraded with respect to the loan grades. Downgrades would generally result in additional provision for loan losses. If the loan is downgraded to nonaccrual, the loan would generally be considered impaired and an impairment analysis is performed to determine the amount of impairment, if any. Based on the impairment analysis, the provision could be higher or lower than the amount of provision associated with a loan prior to its classification as impaired. Past due loans may be included with accruing classified loans.

53



The Bank's policy is to discontinue the accrual of interest on a loan when the collectability of principal or interest in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement is in doubt. When management determines that it is probable that the Bank will not collect all principal and interest on a loan in accordance with the original loan terms, the loan is designated as impaired. Impaired loans totaled $88.1 million as of June 30, 2012, a decrease of $1.7 million, or 2%, as compared to $89.8 million at December 31, 2011. At June 30, 2012, $43.1 million of the impaired loans had $5.9 million in specific allocations to the general reserve. The remaining $45.0 million of impaired loans did not have specific allocations due primarily to the adequacy of collateral, prior charge-offs taken, or previous interest collected and applied to principal. At December 31, 2011, $32.0 million of impaired loans had $4.2 million in specific allocations to the general reserve, and the remaining $57.8 million of impaired loans did not have specific allocations.
Loans that are designated as impaired require an analysis to determine the amount of impairment, if any. Impairment would be indicated as a result of the carrying value of the loan exceeding the estimated collateral value, less costs to sell, for collateral dependent loans or the net present value of the projected cash flow, discounted at the loan's contractual effective interest rate, for loans not considered to be collateral dependent. Generally, shortfalls in the analysis on collateral dependent loans would result in the impairment amount being charged-off to the allowance for loan losses. Shortfalls on cash flow dependent loans may be carried as specific allocations to the general reserve unless a known loss is determined to have occurred, in which case such known loss is charged-off.
In certain instances, although very infrequent, loans that have become 90 days past due may remain on accrual status if the value of the collateral securing the loan is sufficient to cover principal and interest and the loan is in the process of collection. There were less than $0.1 million of loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011.
The Bank's general policy for returning a loan to accrual status requires the loan to be brought current and for the client to show a history of making timely payments (generally six months). For troubled debt restructured loans ("TDRs"), a return to accrual status requires timely payments (for a period of six months), along with meeting other criteria. TDRs are assessed on a case-by-case basis.
The Bank may, under certain circumstances, restructure loans as a concession to borrowers who are experiencing financial difficulty. These loans are classified as TDRs and are included in impaired loans. These TDRs typically result from the Company's loss mitigation activities which, among other activities, could include rate reductions, payment extensions, and/ or principal forgiveness. TDRs totaled $57.2 million and $55.3 million at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. Of the $57.2 million in TDR loans at June 30, 2012, $26.7 million were on accrual status. Of the $55.3 million in TDR loans at December 31, 2011, $27.4 million were on accrual status.
The Bank continues to evaluate the underlying collateral of each nonaccruing loan and pursue the collection of interest and principal. Where appropriate, the Bank obtains updated appraisals on the collateral. Please refer to Part I. Item 1. "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data—Note 6: Loans Receivable" for further information on nonaccruing loans.
Potential Problem Loans. Loans that evidence weakness or potential weakness related to repayment history, the borrower's financial condition, or other factors are reviewed by the Bank's management to determine if the loan should be adversely classified. Delinquent loans may or may not be adversely classified depending upon management's judgment with respect to each individual loan. The Company classifies certain loans as "substandard," "doubtful," or "loss" based on criteria consistent with guidelines provided by banking regulators. Potential problem loans consist of classified accruing loans that were less than 90 days past due, but where known information about possible credit problems of the related borrowers causes management to have doubts as to the ability of such borrowers to comply with the present loan repayment terms and which may result in disclosure of such loans as nonperforming at some time in the future. Management cannot predict the extent to which economic conditions may worsen or other factors which may impact borrowers and the potential problem loans. Triggering events for loan downgrades include updated appraisal information, inability of borrowers to cover debt service payments, loss of tenants or notification by the tenant of non-renewal of lease, inability of borrowers to sell completed construction projects, and the inability of borrowers to complete the sale of property. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that other loans will not become 90 days or more past due and be placed on nonaccrual, be restructured, or require increased allowance coverage and provision for loan losses.

54



The Company has identified approximately $138.3 million in potential problem loans at June 30, 2012, an increase of $40.1 million, or 41%, as compared to $98.2 million at December 31, 2011. The increase consists primarily of commercial real estate loans which increased by $49.9 million, or 79%, to $113.0 million at June 30, 2012 as compared to $63.1 million at December 31, 2011. The increase in the second quarter of 2012 is primarily due to a small number of large loans in which the borrower has either lost a tenant, received notification of a tenant leaving, or has difficulty leasing a vacant space. When there is a loss of a major tenant in a commercial real estate building, the appraised value of the building generally declines. Loans may be downgraded when this occurs as a result of the additional risk to the borrower in obtaining a new tenant in a timely manner and negotiating a lease with similar or better terms than the previous tenant. The appraised value of the property may be adversely impacted, lowering the loan-to-value ratio. In many cases, these loans are still current and paying as agreed, although future performance may be impacted if higher levels of vacancies continue.
The increase in accruing classified loans consists primarily of commercial real estate loans which increased by $49.9 million, or 79%, to $113.0 million at June 30, 2012 as compared to $63.1 million at December 31, 2011. There are numerous factors which contributed to this increase including the prolonged economic downturn. These factors negatively affect our borrowers' liquidity and, in some cases, our borrowers' ability to comply with loan covenants such as debt service coverage.
Generally when a collateral dependent loan becomes impaired, an updated appraisal of the collateral, if appropriate, is obtained. If the impaired loan has not been upgraded to a performing status within a reasonable amount of time, the Bank continues to obtain newer appraisals, approximately every 12 to 18 months or sooner, if deemed necessary, especially during periods of declining values.
The past due status of a loan is determined in accordance with its contractual repayment terms. All loan types are reported past due when one scheduled payment is due and unpaid for 30 days or more.

Liquidity
Liquidity is defined as the Company's ability to generate adequate cash to meet its needs for day-to-day operations and material long and short-term commitments. Liquidity risk is the risk of potential loss if the Company were unable to meet its funding requirements at a reasonable cost. The Company manages its liquidity based on demand, commitments, specific events and uncertainties to meet current and future financial obligations of a short-term nature. The Company's objective in managing liquidity is to respond to the needs of depositors and borrowers as well as to earnings enhancement opportunities in a changing marketplace.
At June 30, 2012, the Company's cash and cash equivalents amounted to $102.8 million. The Holding Company's cash and cash equivalents amounted to $94.1 million. Management believes that the Company and the Holding Company have adequate liquidity to meet their commitments for the foreseeable future.
Management is responsible for establishing and monitoring liquidity targets as well as strategies to meet these targets. At June 30, 2012, consolidated cash and cash equivalents and securities available for sale, less securities pledged, amounted to $0.3 billion, or 5% of total assets, compared to $0.9 billion, or 14% of total assets at December 31, 2011. The $0.5 billion, or 60% decrease in the Company's consolidated cash and cash equivalents and securities available for sale, less securities pledged is primarily due to the rapid loan growth experienced in the first six months of 2012. Future loan growth may depend upon the Company's ability to grow its core deposit levels. In addition, the Company has access to available borrowings through the FHLB totaling $552.8 million as of June 30, 2012 compared to $509.5 million at December 31, 2011. Combined, this liquidity totals $0.9 billion, or 14% of assets and 19% of total deposits as of June 30, 2012 compared to $1.4 billion, or 23% of assets and 30% of total deposits as of December 31, 2011.

55



As discussed above in Financial Conditions, the Bank has various internal policies and guidelines regarding liquidity, both on and off balance sheet, loans to assets ratio, and limits on the use of wholesale funds. These policies and or guidelines require certain minimum or maximum balances or ratios be maintained at all times. With the recent significant increase in loans without a corresponding increase in deposits, the Bank has relied upon either lowering cash and investments balances or increasing wholesale funds such as FHLB borrowings, federal funds and brokered deposits to fund the majority of their loan growth. In light of the provisions in the Bank's internal liquidity policies and guidelines, the Bank will carefully manage amount and timing of future loan growth along with its relevant liquidity policies and balance sheet guidelines.
Holding Company Liquidity. The Company and some of the Company's majority-owned affiliates hold put and call options that would require the Company to purchase (and the majority-owned affiliates to sell) the remaining noncontrolling interests in these companies at the then fair value generally as determined by the respective agreements. At June 30, 2012, the estimated maximum redemption value for these affiliates related to outstanding put options was $19.2 million, all of which could be redeemed within the next 12 months, under certain circumstances, and is classified on the consolidated balance sheets as redeemable noncontrolling interests. These put and call options are discussed in detail in Part II. Item 8. "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data - Note 16: Noncontrolling Interests" of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.
The Holding Company's primary sources of funds are dividends from its affiliates, access to the capital and debt markets, and private equity investments. The Holding Company recognized $4.1 million in net income from discontinued operations during the six months ended June 30, 2012. The majority of this amount related to a revenue sharing agreement with Westfield Capital Management Company, LLC ("Westfield"). The Company also received cash proceeds from the sale of DTC in the second quarter of 2012. Additionally, the Holding Company may receive additional contingent consideration in future years. However, other than the revenue sharing agreement with Westfield, divestitures are not ongoing sources of funds for the Holding Company. Dividends from the Bank are limited by various regulatory requirements relating to capital adequacy and retained earnings. See Part II. Item 5. "Market for Registrant's Common Equity, Related Stockholders Matters, and Issuers Purchases of Equity Securities" in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 for further details.
The Bank has paid dividends to the Holding Company depending on its profitability and asset growth. If regulatory agencies were to require banks to increase their capital ratios, or impose other restrictions, it may limit the ability of the Bank to pay dividends to the Holding Company and/or limit the amount the Bank could grow.
Although the Bank is currently above current regulatory requirements for capital, the Holding Company could downstream additional capital to increase the rate the Bank could grow. Depending upon the amount of capital, the approval of the Company's board of directors may be required prior to the payment, if any.
The Company is required to pay interest quarterly on its junior subordinated debentures. Since 2010, the Company has been a party to an interest rate swap to hedge a portion of the cash flow associated with a junior subordinated debenture which converted from a fixed rate to a floating rate on December 30, 2010. The estimated cash outlay for the remaining six months of 2012 for the interest payments, including the effect of the cash flow hedge, is approximately $3.3 million based on the debt outstanding at June 30, 2012 and estimated LIBOR.
The Company presently plans to pay cash dividends on its common stock on a quarterly basis dependent upon a number of factors such as profitability, Holding Company liquidity, and the Company's capital levels. However, the ultimate declaration of dividends by the board of directors of the Company will depend on a review of such issues including recent financial trends and internal forecasts, regulatory limitations, alternative uses of capital deployment, general economic conditions, and pending regulatory changes to capital requirements. Based on the current dividend rate and estimated shares outstanding, the Company estimates the amount to be paid out in the remaining six months of 2012 for dividends to common shareholders will be approximately $1.6 million. Based on the Company's preferred stock outstanding and the dividend rate, the Company expects to pay $0.1 million in cash dividends on preferred stock in the remaining six months of 2012. The estimated dividend payments in 2012 could increase or decrease if the Company's board of directors voted to increase or decrease, respectively, the current dividend rate.

Bank Liquidity. The Bank has established various borrowing arrangements to provide additional sources of liquidity and funding. Management believes that the Bank currently has adequate liquidity available to respond to current demands. The Bank is a member of the FHLB of Boston, and as such, has access to short and long-term borrowings from that institution. The FHLB can change the advance amounts that banks can utilize based on a bank's current financial condition as obtained from publicly available data such as FDIC Call Reports. Decreases in the amount of FHLB borrowings available to the Bank would lower its liquidity and possibly limit the Bank's ability to grow in the short term. Management believes that the Bank has adequate liquidity to meet its commitments for the foreseeable future.
In addition to the above liquidity, the Bank has access to the Federal Reserve discount window facility, which can provide short-term liquidity as "lender of last resort," brokered certificates of deposit, and federal funds lines. The use of non-core funding sources, including brokered deposits and borrowings, by the Bank may be limited by regulatory agencies. Generally, the regulatory agencies prefer that banks rely on core-funding sources for liquidity.
From time to time the Bank purchases federal funds from the FHLB and other banking institutions to supplement its liquidity position. The Bank had unused federal fund lines of credit totaling $131.0 million with correspondent institutions to provide it with immediate access to overnight borrowings. At June 30, 2012, the Bank had outstanding borrowings of $85.0 million under these federal fund lines. At December 31, 2011, the Bank had no outstanding borrowings under these federal funds lines.
If the Bank was no longer able to utilize the FHLB for borrowing, collateral currently used for FHLB borrowings could be transferred to other facilities such as the Federal Reserve's discount window. In addition, the Bank could increase its usage of brokered certificates of deposit. Other borrowing arrangements may have higher rates than the FHLB would typically charge.

Capital Resources
Total shareholders’ equity at June 30, 2012 was $575.6 million, compared to $566.1 million at December 31, 2011, an increase of $9.5 million, or 2%. The increase in shareholders' equity was primarily the result of net income and stock compensation, partially offset by dividends paid and the repurchase of the 5.44 million warrants held by affiliates of The Carlyle Group and BPFH Director John Morton III during the first quarter 2012.
As a bank holding company, the Company is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by federal agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can result in certain mandatory, and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a material effect on the Company's financial statements. For example, under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank's assets and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory guidelines. The Bank's capital and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors. Similarly, the Company is also subject to capital requirements administered by the Federal Reserve with respect to certain non-banking activities, including adjustments in connection with off-balance sheet items.
To be categorized as "well capitalized," the Company and the Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier I risk-based, and Tier I leverage ratios as set forth in the regulatory capital and capital ratios table, below. In addition, the Company and the Bank cannot be subject to any written agreement, order or capital directive or prompt corrective action to be considered "well capitalized." Both the Company and the Bank maintain capital at levels that would be considered "well capitalized" as of June 30, 2012 under the applicable regulations.

The following table presents the Company's and the Bank's amount of regulatory capital and related ratios as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011. Also presented are the capital guidelines established by the Federal Reserve, which pertain to the Company, and by the FDIC, which pertains to the Bank. To be categorized as "adequately capitalized" or "well capitalized", the Company and the Bank must be in compliance with these ratios as long as the Company and/or the Bank are not subject to any written agreement, order, capital directive, or prompt corrective action directive. The Federal Reserve, the FDIC, and the Massachusetts Commissioner of Banks may impose higher capital ratios than those listed below based on the results of regulatory exams.

Bank regulatory authorities restrict the Bank from lending or advancing funds to, or investing in the securities of, the Company. Further, these authorities restrict the amounts available for the payment of dividends by the Bank to the Company.
As of June 30, 2012, the Company has sponsored the creation of, or assumed sponsorship of, five statutory trusts for the sole purpose of issuing trust preferred securities and investing the proceeds in junior subordinated debentures of the Company. In accordance with ASC 810-10-55, Consolidation - Overall - Implementation Guidance and Illustrations - Variable Interest Entities, these statutory trusts created by, or assumed by, the Company are not consolidated into the Company's financial statements; however, the Company reflects the amounts of junior subordinated debentures payable to the preferred stockholders of statutory trusts as debt in its financial statements. As of June 30, 2012, $147.5 million of the net balance of these trust preferred securities qualified as Tier I capital and $19.8 million qualified as Tier II capital. As of December 31, 2011, $141.3 million of the net balance of these trust preferred securities qualified as Tier I capital and $33.6 million qualified as Tier II capital. Tier I capital is included in the calculation of all three capital ratios in the above table, while Tier II capital is only included in the calculation of total risk-based capital in the above table.
For the six months ending June 30, 2012, the Company repurchased $7.7 million of its junior subordinated debentures. Due to the gains on the repurchases, the Company increased the amount of the remaining junior subordinated debentures that qualify as Tier I capital thereby adding to Tier I capital. Tier II capital and total risk-based capital were reduced as the result of these repurchases. Any additional repurchases, which are subject to regulatory approval, would further decrease risk-based capital and the resulting risk-based capital ratio.

Results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 versus June 30, 2011
Net Income/ (Loss). The Company recorded net income from continuing operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 of $12.3 million and $21.1 million, respectively, compared to $13.8 million and $12.7 million for the same periods in 2011. Net income attributable to the Company, which includes income/(loss) from both continuing and discontinued operations, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 was $14.2 million and $23.7 million, respectively, compared to $14.5 million and $14.4 million, respectively, for the same periods in 2011.

58



The Company recognized diluted earnings per share from continuing operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 of $0.14 and $0.22 per share, respectively, compared to $0.15 and $0.13 per share, respectively, for the same periods in 2011. Diluted earnings per share attributable to common shareholders, which includes both continuing and discontinued operations, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 was $0.17 and $0.28 per share, respectively, compared to $0.17 and $0.17 per share, respectively, for the same periods in 2011. Net income/ (loss) from continuing operations in both 2012 and 2011 was offset by charges that reduce income available to common shareholders. See Part I. Item 1. "Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements - Note 2: Earnings Per Share" for further detail on these charges to income available to common shareholders.
The following discussions are based on the Company's continuing operations, unless otherwise stated.

Net interest income. Net interest income represents the difference between interest earned, primarily on loans and investments, and interest paid on funding sources, primarily deposits and borrowings. Interest rate spread is the difference between the average rate earned on total interest-earning assets and the average rate paid on total interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest margin ("NIM") is the amount of net interest income, on a fully taxable-equivalent ("FTE") basis, expressed as a percentage of average interest-earning assets. The average rate earned on earning assets is the amount of annualized taxable equivalent interest income expressed as a percentage of average earning assets. The average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities is equal to annualized interest expense as a percentage of average interest-bearing liabilities. When credit quality declines and loans are placed on nonaccrual status, NIM can decrease because the same assets are earning less income. Loans that are considered classified but are still accruing interest income of $138.3 million at June 30, 2012 could be placed on nonaccrual status if their credit quality declines further.
Net interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2012 was $46.6 million, an increase of $0.6 million, or 1%, compared to the same period in 2011. Net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was $91.4 million, an increase of $1.6 million, or 2%, compared to the same period in 2011. The increase for both the three and six months are due to recovery of nonaccrual interest income, prepayment penalties, increase in volume of the loan portfolio and lower average rates paid on the Company's deposits and interest-bearing liabilities. These factors were partially offset by lower average yields on loans. The NIM was 3.35%, and 3.30% for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, NIM was 3.31%, an increase of six basis points compared to the same period in 2011.
The following tables set forth the composition of the Company's NIM on a FTE basis for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, however the discussion following these tables reflects non-FTE data.

________________________
(1)
Investments classified as available for sale are shown in the average balance sheet at amortized cost.
(2)
Interest income on non-taxable investments and loans is presented on a FTE basis using statutory rates. The discussion following these tables reflects non-FTE data.
(3)
Includes loans held for sale and nonaccrual loans.
(4)
Includes assets and liabilities of discontinued operations.
Interest and Dividend Income. Interest and dividend income for the three months ended June 30, 2012 was $56.9 million, a decrease of $2.1 million, or 4%, compared to the same period in 2011. Interest and dividend income for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was $112.7 million, a decrease of $3.5 million, or 3%, compared to the same period in 2011. The decrease was primarily due to lower loan yields, offset by increased loan volume, and a shift in the mix of interest-bearing assets from cash and investments into the loan portfolio.
Interest income on commercial loans (including construction loans), on a non-FTE basis, for the three months ended June 30, 2012 was $33.1 million, an increase of $0.6 million, or 2%, compared to the same period in 2011 as a result of a 12% increase in the average balance, partially offset by a 49 basis point decrease in the average yield. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, commercial interest income was $64.4 million, an increase of $1.0 million, or 2%, compared to the same period in 2011 as a result of a 9% increase in the average balance, partially offset by a 35 basis point decrease in the average yield. The increase in the average balance is related to the organic growth of the commercial loan portfolio at the Bank, as discussed above in Part I. Item 2. "Management's Discussion and Analysis - Loan Portfolio and Credit Quality." The decrease in the average yield is the result of market conditions leading to lower rates due to competition for higher quality loans and lower client demand.
In the three months ending June 30, 2012, the Bank's commercial loan interest income and related yield were positively impacted by a large interest recovery on a nonaccruing loan that paid off as well as the collection of unrelated loan prepayment penalties. The Bank generally has interest income that is either recovered or reversed related to nonaccruing loans each quarter. Based on the net amount recovered or reversed, the impact on interest income can be either positive or negative. In the three months ending June 30, 2012, the net recovery of interest income was higher than prior quarters. Also, the Bank collects prepayment penalties on certain commercial loans that pay off prior to maturity. The amount and timing of prepayment penalties varies from quarter to quarter. The amount of prepayment penalties collected in the three months ending June 30, 2012 were also higher than prior quarters.
Interest income on residential mortgage loans for the three months ended June 30, 2012 was $18.0 million, a decrease of $1.2 million, or 6%, compared to the same period in 2011 as a result of a 66 basis point decrease in the average yield, partially offset by an 11% increase in the average balance. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, residential mortgage interest income was $35.8 million, a decrease of $2.1 million, or 5%, as a result of a 64 basis point decrease in the average yield, partially offset by a 10% increase in the average balance. The decrease in the average yield was primarily due to adjustable rate mortgage ("ARM") loans repricing to lower rates, clients refinancing into lower rates and new loan originations at historically low rates. The decline in U.S. Treasury yields, the index to which the ARMs are typically linked, has decreased the yields on these mortgage loans. The increase in the average balances was due to the organic growth of the residential loan portfolio at the Bank.
Interest income on home equity and other consumer loans for the three months ended June 30, 2012 was $2.3 million, a decrease of $0.6 million, or 22%, compared to the same period in 2011, as a result of a 53 basis point decrease in the average yield and an 8% decrease in the average balance. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, home equity and other consumer loan interest income was $5.1 million, a decrease of $0.8 million, or 13%, compared to the same period in 2011, as a result of a 49 basis point decrease in the average yield. The decrease in average yield is primarily due to lower market rates on consumer loans.
Investment income, on a non-FTE basis, for the three months ended June 30, 2012 was $3.5 million, a decrease of $0.9 million, or 21%, compared to the same period in 2011, as a result of a 28% decrease in the average balance, partially offset by a 14 basis point increase in the average yield. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, investment income was $7.4 million, a decrease of $1.7 million, or 19% compared to the same period in 2011, as a result of a 28% decrease in the average balance, partially offset by a 19 basis point increase in the average yield. The decrease in the average balance is primarily due to timing and volume of deposit balances as compared to the level of loans outstanding. The increase in the average yield was primarily due to the mix of investments within the investment portfolio. Investment decisions are made based on anticipated liquidity, loan demand, and asset-liability management considerations.

62



Interest expense. Interest expense on deposits and borrowings for the three months ended June 30, 2012 was $10.3 million, a decrease of $2.7 million, or 21%, compared to the same period in 2011. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, interest expense was $21.3 million, a decrease of $5.1 million, or 19%, compared to the same period in 2011. The decrease was attributable to decreases in the average rate paid on deposits due to the low interest rate environment, a decrease in the average balance outstanding of higher-rate certificates of deposit as some of these accounts shifted to more liquid, and lower-rate, money market accounts, and lower average balance on junior subordinated debentures as a result of repurchases.
Interest expense on deposits for the three months ended June 30, 2012 was $4.4 million, a decrease of $1.9 million, or 30%, compared to the same period in 2011, as a result of a 21 basis point decrease in the average rate paid, and a 1% decrease in the average balance. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, interest expense was $9.3 million, a decrease of $3.6 million, or 28%, compared to the same period in 2011, as a result of a 20 basis point decrease in the average rate paid and a 1% decrease in the average balance. The decrease in the average rates paid was primarily due to the Bank's ability to lower interest rates on money market accounts and certificates of deposit due to the low interest rate environment.
Interest paid on borrowings for the three months ended June 30, 2012 was $5.9 million, a decrease of $0.8 million, or 12%, compared to the same period in 2011, as a result of an 54 basis point decrease in the average rate paid, partially offset by a 6% increase in the average balance. For the six months ended June 30, 2012 interest paid on borrowings was $12.0 million, a decrease of $1.5 million, or 11%, compared to the same period in 2011, as a result of a 42 basis point decrease in the average rate paid, partially offset by a 3% increase in the average balance. The decrease in the average rate paid is primarily due to the higher-rate FHLB borrowings maturing and being replaced with current lower rates, and the repurchase of a portion of the Company's junior subordinated debt in the second and fourth quarters of 2011 and in the first six months of 2012. The increase in the average balance is due to increases in short term Federal funds purchased and FHLB borrowings to fund a portion of loan growth.
Provision/ (credit) for loan losses. The provision/ (credit) for loan losses for the three months ended June 30, 2012 was $1.7 million, an increase of $3.9 million compared to the same period in 2011. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, the provision/ (credit) for loan losses was $5.7 million, a decrease of $5.5 million, or 49%, compared to the same period in 2011. The loan loss provision was elevated in 2011 due to the adverse credit issues experienced primarily in the San Francisco Bay market. The 2012 year-to-date provision/ (credit) for loan losses was primarily impacted by the growth in the loan portfolio and the increase in accruing classified loans, partially offset by continued declining levels of loan charge-offs.
The provision/ (credit) for loan losses is determined as a result of the required level of the allowance for loan losses, estimated by management, which reflects the inherent risk of loss in the loan portfolio as of the balance sheet dates. The factors used by management to determine the level of the allowance for loan losses include the trends in problem loans, economic and business conditions, strength of management, real estate collateral values, and underwriting standards. For further details, see Part I. Item 2. "Management's Discussion and Analysis - Loan Portfolio and Credit Quality" above.
Fees and other income. Fees and other income for the three months ended June 30, 2012 was $28.0 million, a decrease of $2.6 million, or 9%, compared to the same period in 2011. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, fees and other income was $55.5 million, a decrease of $3.6 million, or 6%, compared to the same period in 2011. The decrease is primarily due to decreases in investment management and trust fees and other income, as well as lower level of gains recognized in 2012 compared to 2011 from the repurchase of debt and from the sale of loans and OREO, partially offset by the increase in wealth advisory fees.
Investment management and trust fees for the three months ended June 30, 2012 was $15.5 million, a decrease of $0.9 million, or 5%, compared to the same period in 2011. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, investment management and trust fee income was $30.7 million, a decrease of $1.7 million, or 5%, compared to the same period in 2011. AUM at the Bank and Investment Managers decreased $372 million in the past twelve months to $11.7 billion at June 30, 2012. Investment management and trust fees from the Bank and Investment Managers are typically calculated based on a percentage of AUM. Approximately 62% of the second quarter 2012 investment management and trust fee revenues were earned based upon beginning-of-period (March 31, 2012) AUM for the quarter. Therefore, changes in revenue generally lag behind changes in AUM.

63



Wealth advisory fee income for the three months ended June 30, 2012 was $9.2 million, an increase of $0.6 million, or 7%, compared to the same period in 2011. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, wealth advisory fee income was $18.4 million, an increase of $1.4 million, or 8%, compared to the same period in 2011. AUM as of June 30, 2012, managed by the Wealth Advisors was $7.5 billion, an increase of $0.3 billion, or 4%, compared to June 30, 2011.
Gain on repurchase of debt for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 was $0.7 million and $1.6 million, respectively. During the first six months of 2012, the Company repurchased $7.7 million of its junior subordinated debt. The Company used available cash on hand to repurchase the securities.
Other Income for the three months ended was $8 thousand, a decrease of $0.4 million, or 98%, compared to the same period in 2011. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, other income was $0.7 million, a decrease of $1.5 million, or 69%, compared to the same period in 2011. The decrease is primarily due to the gain on sale in 2011 of the Company's equity investment in Coldstream Holdings, Inc. and earnings from the Company's other cost method investment.
Operating Expense. Operating expense for the three months ended June 30, 2012 was $55.3 million, a decrease of $5.6 million, or 9%, compared to the same period in 2011. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, operating expense was $111.0 million, a decrease of $10.0 million, or 8%, compared to the same period in 2011. Included in operating expense are the restructuring expenses of $0.6 million and $0.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively and $4.3 million and $6.3 million for the same periods in 2011, respectively. Excluding restructuring, operating expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 decreased $1.8 million, or 3%, and $4.4 million, or 4%, respectively. This decrease is primarily due to decreases in professional services expense and FDIC insurance expense, partially offset by increased occupancy and equipment expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and increased salaries and benefits for the six months ended June 30, 2012.
Salaries and employee benefits expense, the largest component of operating expense, for the three months ended June 30, 2012 was $34.5 million, a decrease of $0.3 million, or 1%, compared to the same period in 2011. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, salaries and employee benefit expense was $71.4 million, an increase of $1.0 million, or 1%, compared to the same period in 2011. The decline in the three months ending June 30, 2012 as compared to the same period in 2011 was primarily related to the Bank merger, partially offset by additional sales personnel and performance- and commission-based compensation. The increase in the six months ending June 30, 2012 as compared to the same period in 2011 is primarily due to increased sales personnel and performance- and commission-based compensation, partially offset by the Bank merger.
Professional services for the three months ended June 30, 2012 was $3.0 million, a decrease of $2.3 million, or 43%, compared to the same period in 2011. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, professional services expense was $6.0 million, a decrease of $4.5 million, or 43%, compared to the same period in 2011. The decrease is primarily due to decreases in consulting and legal services for general corporate and loan work out matters, as well as decreases in director and audit fees as a result of the Bank merger.
Occupancy and equipment expense for the three months ended June 30, 2012 was $7.9 million, an increase of $0.6 million, or 8%, compared to the same period in 2011. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, occupancy and equipment expense was $15.2 million, an increase of $0.6 million, or 4%, compared to the same period in 2011. The increase for the three and six months ending June 30, 2012 is primarily related to new offices opened by the Bank in the past year as well as a new office by KLS in California.
FDIC insurance expense for the three months ended June 30, 2012 was $1.0 million, a decrease of $0.3 million, or 24%, compared to the same period in 2011. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, FDIC insurance expense was $1.8 million, a decrease of $1.7 million, or 48%, compared to the same period in 2011. The decrease is primarily due to the consolidation of the Bank charters and the change in the FDIC's assessment rate methodology, which was effective April 1, 2011 and a lower assessment rate in 2012.
Income Tax Expense/ (Benefit). Income tax expense/ (benefit) for continuing operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 was an expense of $5.2 million, and $9.1 million, respectively. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was 30.1%, compared to an effective tax rate 24.0% for the same period in 2011. See Part I. Item 1. "Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements - Note 9: Income Taxes" for further detail.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2011, the FASB issued new guidance, ASU 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS. The amendments in this update further clarify the requirements in U.S. GAAP for measuring fair value and enhance the disclosures for information about fair value measurements. The new guidance was effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011, and its adoption did not have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In June 2011, the FASB issued new guidance, ASU 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income. Under this new guidance, an entity must present the components of net income and comprehensive income in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. The new guidance eliminates the option to present other comprehensive income in the statement of shareholders’ equity. The new guidance was effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-12, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in ASU No. 2011-05, which defers indefinitely certain changes related to the presentation of reclassification adjustments in ASU 2011-05. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In September 2011, the FASB issued new guidance, ASU 2011-08, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment. This new guidance allows entities to perform a qualitative assessment to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value in order to determine if quantitative testing is required. This qualitative assessment is optional and is intended to reduce the cost and complexity of annual goodwill impairment tests. The new guidance was effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011 and early adoption was allowed provided the entity had not yet performed its 2011 impairment test or issued its financial statements. The adoption of this ASU for the Company's fourth quarter 2012 impairment testing is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In December 2011, the FASB issued new guidance, ASU 2011-11, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. The amendments in this update require entities to disclose both gross and net information about both instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the statement of financial position and instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after January 1, 2013 and requires a retrospective application for all comparative periods which are presented. The Company does not expect this ASU to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

"Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk – Interest Rate Sensitivity and Market Risk" in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Item 4.
Controls and Procedures
(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.
As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Company has evaluated, with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures. In designing and evaluating the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, the Company and its management recognize that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only a reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating and implementing possible controls and procedures.
Based on such evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that such disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2012 in ensuring that material information required to be disclosed by the Company, including its consolidated subsidiaries, was made known to the certifying officers by others within the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reporting within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms. On a quarterly basis, the Company evaluates the disclosure controls and procedures, and may from time to time make changes aimed at enhancing their effectiveness and to ensure that the Company’s systems evolve with its business.
(b) Change in internal controls over financial reporting.
There have been no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2012, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.
