WASHINGTON TRUST BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
CONDENSED NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



(1)
General Information
Washington Trust Bancorp, Inc. (the “Bancorp”) is a publicly-owned registered bank holding company and financial holding company.  The Bancorp owns all of the outstanding common stock of The Washington Trust Company (the “Bank”), a Rhode Island chartered commercial bank founded in 1800.  Through its subsidiaries, the Bancorp offers a complete product line of financial services including commercial, residential and consumer lending, retail and commercial deposit products, and wealth management services through its offices in Rhode Island, eastern Massachusetts and Connecticut.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Bancorp and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Corporation” or “Washington Trust”).  All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

The accounting and reporting policies of the Corporation conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and to general practices of the banking industry.  In preparing the financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet and revenues and expenses for the period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.  Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to change are the determination of the allowance for loan losses and the review of goodwill, other intangible assets and investments for impairment.  The current economic environment has increased the degree of uncertainty inherent in such estimates and assumptions.

The unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Corporation presented herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and note disclosures required by GAAP. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) and disclosures considered necessary for the fair presentation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been included. Interim results are not necessarily reflective of the results of the entire year. The accompanying consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012.

(2)
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Balance Sheet - Topic 210
Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-11, “Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities” (“ASU 2011-11”), was issued in December 2011 and was intended to enhance current disclosure requirements on offsetting financial assets and liabilities. The requirements of ASU 2011-11 enable users to compare balance sheets prepared under U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), which are subject to different offsetting models. The requirements affect all entities that have financial instruments that are either offset in the balance sheet or subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement. ASU 2011-11 was effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. The required disclosures were effective retrospectively for all comparative periods presented. The adoption of ASU 2011-11 did not have a material impact on the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements.

Comprehensive Income - Topic 220
Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-02, “Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income” (“ASU 2013-02”) was issued in February 2013 and requires additional disclosure of the effects of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) in a single location, either on the face of the financial statement that reports net income or in the notes to the financial statements. ASU 2013-02 does not change the current requirements and carries forward the existing requirements that reclassifications out of AOCI be separately presented for each component of other comprehensive income. For items reclassified out of AOCI and into net income in their entirety, the effect of the reclassification on each affected net income line must be disclosed. For AOCI reclassification items that are not reclassified in their entirety into net income, a cross reference to other required disclosures is required. The amendments were effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements, see Note 15.

(3)
Cash and Due from Banks
The Bank maintains certain average reserve balances to meet the requirements of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (“FRB”).  Some or all of this reserve requirement may be satisfied with vault cash. Reserve balances amounted to $4.6 million at March 31, 2013 and $5.5 million at December 31, 2012 and were included in cash and due from banks in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Included in the securities were debt securities with an amortized cost balance of $89.1 million and a fair value of $86.4 million that are callable at the discretion of the issuers.  Final maturities of the callable securities range from three to twenty-five years, with call features ranging from one month to five years.

Other-Than-Temporary Impairment Assessment
The Corporation assesses whether the decline in fair value of investment securities is other-than-temporary on a regular basis. Unrealized losses on debt securities may occur from current market conditions, increases in interest rates since the time of purchase, a structural change in an investment, volatility of earnings of a specific issuer, or deterioration in credit quality of the issuer.  Management evaluates impairments in value both qualitatively and quantitatively to assess whether they are other-than-temporary.

Further deterioration in credit quality of the underlying issuers of the securities, further deterioration in the condition of the financial services industry, a continuation or worsening of the current economic downturn, or additional declines in real estate values, among other things, may further affect the fair value of these securities and increase the potential that certain unrealized losses be designated as other-than-temporary in future periods, and the Corporation may incur additional write-downs.

Trust Preferred Debt Securities of Individual Name Issuers
Included in debt securities in an unrealized loss position at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 were 11 trust preferred security holdings issued by seven individual companies in the financial services industry, specifically, the banking sector.  Management believes the decline in fair value of these trust preferred securities primarily reflects investor concerns about global economic growth and how it will affect the recent and potential future losses in the financial services industry.  These concerns resulted in increased risk premiums for securities in this sector. Based on the information available through the filing date of this report, all individual name trust preferred debt securities held in our portfolio continue to accrue and make payments as expected with no payment deferrals or defaults on the part of the issuers.  As of March 31, 2013, trust preferred debt securities with an amortized cost of $11.9 million and unrealized losses of $2.2 million were rated below investment grade by Standard & Poors, Inc. (“S&P”).  Management reviewed the collectibility of these securities taking into consideration such factors as the financial condition of the issuers, reported regulatory capital ratios of the issuers, credit ratings including ratings in effect as of the reporting period date as well as credit rating changes between the reporting period date and the filing date of this report and other information.  We noted no additional downgrades to below investment grade between the reporting period date and the filing date of this report.  Based on these analyses, management concluded that it expects to recover the entire amortized cost basis of these securities. Furthermore, Washington Trust does not intend to sell these securities and its is not more likely than not that Washington Trust will be required to sell these securities before recovery of their cost basis, which may be at maturity. Therefore, management does not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at March 31, 2013.

(2)
In the first quarter of 2013, Washington Trust recognized an other-than-temporary impairment charge of $2.8 million on the Tropic CDO 1, tranche A4L (“Tropic”). On March 22, 2013, the trustee for the Tropic security issued a notice that a liquidation of the CDO entity, Tropic CDO I, Ltd., will take place at the direction of holders of the CDO tranches that are senior to certain subordinate tranches, of which Washington Trust is a note holder.  The estimated proceeds from the liquidation event are expected to be insufficient to satisfy the amount owed to the note holders of the CDO's subordinate tranches.  The Corporation had recognized other-than-temporary losses amounting to $2.1 million on this security in years prior to 2013; however, prior to the March 2013 announcement of the liquidation event, the expected future cash flows through the maturity of the CDO in the year 2033 were considered to be sufficient to recover the Corporation's remaining $2.8 million amortized cost.  The first quarter impairment loss reduces the Corporation's carrying value in the holding to zero.  The security had been classified in nonaccruing status with no interest recognition since 2009.
(3)
Washington Trust’s investment is subordinate to two senior tranche levels. Valuations of the pooled trust preferred holdings is dependent in part on cash flows from underlying issuers.  Unexpected cash flow disruptions could have an adverse impact on the fair value and performance of this pooled trust preferred security.  Management believes the unrealized losses on this pooled trust preferred security primarily reflects investor concerns about global economic growth and how it will affect the recent and potential future losses in the financial services industry and the possibility of further incremental deferrals of or defaults on interest payments on trust preferred debentures by financial institutions participating in these pools.  These concerns have resulted in a substantial decrease in market liquidity and increased risk premiums for securities in this sector.  Credit spreads for issuers in this sector have remained wide during recent months, causing prices for this security holding to remain at low levels.
This security was placed on nonaccrual status in December 2008. The tranche instrument held by Washington Trust has been deferring interest payments since December 2008. The March 31, 2013 amortized cost was net of $1.2 million of credit-related impairment losses previously recognized in earnings reflective of payment deferrals and credit deterioration of the underlying collateral.  As of March 31, 2013, this security had unrealized losses of $860 thousand and a below investment grade rating of “C” by Moody’s.  Through the filing date of this report, there have been no additional rating changes on this security.  This credit rating status has been considered by management in its assessment of the impairment status of this security. Based on information available through the filing date of this report, there have been no additional adverse changes in deferral or default status of the underlying issuer institutions. Based on cash flow forecasts for this security, management expects to recover the remaining amortized cost of this security. Furthermore, Washington Trust does not intend to sell this security and its is not more likely than not that Washington Trust will be required to sell this security before recovery of its cost basis, which may be at maturity. Therefore, management does not consider the unrealized losses on this security to be other-than-temporary at March 31, 2013.

CONDENSED NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS    (Continued)


cash flows and prospective defaults and recoveries.  Estimated cash flows were generated based on the underlying seniority status and subordination structure of the pooled trust preferred debt tranche at the time of measurement.  Prospective default and recovery estimates affecting projected cash flows were based on analysis of the underlying financial condition of individual issuers, and took into account capital adequacy, credit quality, lending concentrations, and other factors.

All cash flow estimates were based on the underlying security’s tranche structure and contractual rate and maturity terms.  The present value of the expected cash flows was compared to the current outstanding balance of the tranche to determine the ratio of the estimated present value of expected cash flows to the total current balance for the tranche.  This ratio was then multiplied by the principal balance of Washington Trust’s holding to determine the credit-related impairment loss.  The estimates used in the determination of the present value of the expected cash flows are susceptible to changes in future periods, which could result in additional credit-related impairment losses.

Nonaccrual Loans
Loans, with the exception of certain well-secured residential mortgage loans that are in the process of collection, are placed on nonaccrual status and interest recognition is suspended when such loans are 90 days or more overdue with respect to principal and/or interest or sooner if considered appropriate by management. Well-secured residential mortgage loans are permitted to remain on accrual status provided that full collection of principal and interest is assured and the loan is in the process of collection.

WASHINGTON TRUST BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
CONDENSED NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS    (Continued)


Loans are also placed on nonaccrual status when, in the opinion of management, full collection of principal and interest is doubtful. Interest previously accrued but not collected on such loans is reversed against current period income. Subsequent interest payments received on nonaccrual loans are applied to the outstanding principal balance of the loan or recognized as interest income depending on management’s assessment of the ultimate collectability of the loan. Loans are removed from nonaccrual status when they have been current as to principal and interest for a period of time, the borrower has demonstrated an ability to comply with repayment terms, and when, in management’s opinion, the loans are considered to be fully collectible.

Impaired Loans
Impaired loans are loans for which it is probable that the Corporation will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreements and loans restructured in a troubled debt restructuring. Impaired loans do not include large groups of smaller-balance homogeneous loans that are collectively evaluated for impairment, which consist of most residential mortgage loans and consumer loans.

The recorded investment in impaired loans consists of unpaid principal balance, net of charge-offs, interest payments received applied to principal and unamortized deferred loan origination fees and costs. For impaired accruing loans (troubled debt restructurings for which management has concluded that the collectibility of the loan is not in doubt), the recorded investment also includes accrued interest.

At March 31, 2013, there were no significant commitments to lend additional funds to borrowers whose loans were on nonaccrual status or had been restructured.

Troubled Debt Restructurings
Loans are considered restructured in a troubled debt restructuring when the Corporation has granted concessions to a borrower due to the borrower’s financial condition that it otherwise would not have considered. These concessions may include modifications of the terms of the debt such as deferral of payments, extension of maturity, reduction of principal balance, reduction of the stated interest rate other than normal market rate adjustments, or a combination of these concessions. Debt may be bifurcated with separate terms for each tranche of the restructured debt. Restructuring a loan in lieu of aggressively enforcing the collection of the loan may benefit the Corporation by increasing the ultimate probability of collection.

Restructured loans are classified as accruing or non-accruing based on management’s assessment of the collectibility of the loan. Loans which are already on nonaccrual status at the time of the restructuring generally remain on nonaccrual status for approximately six months before management considers such loans for return to accruing status. Accruing restructured loans are placed into nonaccrual status if and when the borrower fails to comply with the restructured terms and management deems it unlikely that the borrower will return to a status of compliance in the near term.

Troubled debt restructurings are reported as such for at least one year from the date of the restructuring. In years after the restructuring, troubled debt restructured loans are removed from this classification if the restructuring did not involve a below market rate concession and the loan is not deemed to be impaired based on the terms specified in the restructuring agreement.

Troubled debt restructurings are classified as impaired loans. The Corporation identifies loss allocations for impaired loans on an individual loan basis. The recorded investment in troubled debt restructurings was $19.0 million and $20.2 million, respectively, at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012. These amounts included accrued interest of $49 thousand and $13 thousand, respectively. The allowance for loan losses included specific reserves for these troubled debt restructurings of $842 thousand and $898 thousand, respectively, at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012.
