Mission Community Bancorp and Subsidiary
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation and Management Representations
 
The unaudited consolidated financial statements include accounts of Mission Community Bancorp (“the Company”) and its subsidiary, Mission Community Bank (“the Bank”) and the Bank’s subsidiary, Mission Community Development Corporation.  All material inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.
 
 
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and regulations for quarterly reporting and, therefore, do not necessarily include all information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.  These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, which was filed on March 16, 2009.
 
 
Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of operating results for an entire fiscal year.  In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial statements for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring accruals and provisions, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position and results of operations.
 

Note 2 – Stock Based Compensation
 
The Company has a stock option plan, adopted in 1998, which is more fully described in Note I to the consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.  The 1998 Stock Option Plan has been terminated with respect to the granting of future options under the Plan.  In 2008 the Company adopted the Mission Community Bancorp 2008 Stock Incentive Plan, which has been approved by the Company’s shareholders.  The 2008 Plan provides for the grant of various equity awards, including stock options.
 
 
On January 1, 2006, the Company implemented Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (Revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (“SFAS 123R”), which addresses accounting for equity-based compensation arrangements, including employee stock options.  SFAS 123R replaced SFAS 123 and superseded Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and the related guidance.  The Company adopted the “modified prospective method,” where stock-based compensation expense is recorded beginning on the adoption date and prior periods are not restated.  Under this method, compensation expense is recognized using the fair value based method for all new awards granted after January 1, 2006.  Additionally, compensation expense for unvested options that were outstanding at December 31, 2005, is being recognized over the requisite service period based on the fair value of those options as previously calculated under the pro forma disclosures of SFAS 123.
 
 
On May 27, 2008, the Company granted to the Bank’s two most senior officers options to purchase a total of 41,064 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $18.00 per share.  These non-qualified stock options were granted under the 2008 Stock Incentive Plan, vest over five years, and expire ten years after the date of grant.  The fair value ascribed to those options, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, was $4.58 per share, or a total of $188,073.
 
 
During the six-month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, the Bank recognized pre-tax stock-based compensation expense of $33 thousand and $24 thousand, respectively, as a result of adopting SFAS 123R.  As of June 30, 2009, the Company has unvested options outstanding with unrecognized compensation expense totaling $165 thousand, which is scheduled to be recognized as follows (in thousands):
 
July 1 through December 31, 2009                 $ 37
2010                                                                       38
2011                                                                       38
2012                                                                       37
2013                                                                       15
Total unrecognized compensation cost      $165
 

 
Note 3 — Operating Segments
 
The Company has only one reportable operating segment—commercial banking.  The commercial banking segment provides traditional banking services such as checking and savings accounts, time certificates of deposit and loans.
 
 

 
Note 4 — Preferred Stock
 
On January 9, 2009, in exchange for aggregate consideration of $5,116,000, Mission Community Bancorp issued to the United States Department of the Treasury (“the Treasury”) a total of 5,116 shares of a new Series D Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock (the “Series D Preferred”) having a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share.  This transaction is a part of the Capital Purchase Program of the Treasury’s Troubled Asset Relief Program (“TARP”).  The Series D Preferred Stock pays cumulative dividends at a rate of 5% per year for the first five years and thereafter at a rate of 9% per year.  The Company may not redeem the Series D Preferred Stock during the first three years except with the proceeds from a “qualified equity offering.” After three years, the Company may, at its option, redeem the Series D Preferred Stock at par value plus accrued and unpaid dividends.  The Series D Preferred Stock is generally non-voting.  Prior to January 9, 2012, unless the Company has redeemed the Series D Preferred Stock or the Treasury Department has transferred the Series D Preferred Stock to a third party, the consent of the Treasury Department will be required for the Company to issue a common stock dividend or repurchase its common stock, or other equity or capital securities, other than in connection with benefit plans consistent with past practice and certain other circumstances.  The $5.1 million in new capital was subsequently invested in Mission Community Bank as Tier 1 capital.
 
 

 
Note 5 —Income taxes
 
The Company recognized an income tax benefit of $511 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2009, as compared with a $1,104 thousand tax benefit for the same period in 2008.  The $511 thousand benefit recognized in 2009 includes $351 thousand which was due to the Bank’s ability under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (“ARRA”) to carry back 2008’s net operating losses to five prior years.  Tax laws in effect as of December 31, 2008 permitted only a two-year carry back period.  Excluding this $351 thousand tax adjustment, the effective tax rate (income tax benefit as a percentage of pre-tax loss) for the first six months of 2009 would have been 16.2%, as compared with 43.2% for the same period in 2008.  Because the extended carry back period under ARRA applies only to 2008, management’s determination of the amount of deferred tax allowance recorded as of December 31, 2008, was not affected materially.
 
 

 
Note 6 — Fair Value Measurement
 
The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 (“SFAS No. 157”), Fair Value Measurements.  SFAS No. 157, which was effective for financial assets and liabilities on January 1, 2008, and for non-financial assets and liabilities on January 1, 2009, defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.  This Statement establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.  The Statement describes three levels of inputs that may be used in fair value measurement:
 
 
·
Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
 
·
Level 2—Estimates based on significant other observable inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability
 
·
Level 3—Estimates based on significant unobservable inputs that reflect the entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
 
When feasible, Level 1 pricing is preferable to Level 2, and Level 3 pricing would only be used if neither Level 1 nor Level 2 pricing methods were considered appropriate.
 
 
The Bank has one security in its available-for-sale portfolio that has been assessed as “impaired” since 2004.  Prior to January 1, 2008, the Bank has used a pricing method for this security that would be considered Level 2 pricing.  Upon adoption of SFAS No. 157 in 2008, the Bank concluded that Level 3 pricing was more appropriate for this security, given the lack of observable inputs to the estimation process.  Due to the illiquidity in the secondary market for this security, this fair value estimate cannot be corroborated by observable market data.  This change in estimate resulted in a reduction in the fair value of this security by $168 thousand as of January 1, 2008.  Because this security remains in the available-for-sale portfolio, this change in estimate was included in other comprehensive income but had no effect on reported net income (loss).

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of significant financial instruments that are not carried at fair value in the consolidated balance sheet:
 
 
Financial Assets.  The carrying amounts of cash and short-term investments are considered to approximate fair value.  Short-term investments include federal funds sold and interest bearing deposits with other banks.  The fair value of loans are estimated using a combination of techniques, including discounting estimated future cash flows and quoted market prices of similar instruments, where available.
 
 
Financial Liabilities.  The carrying amounts of deposit liabilities payable on demand and short-term borrowed funds are considered to approximate fair value.  For fixed maturity deposits, fair value is estimated by discounting estimated future cash flows using currently offered rates for deposits of similar remaining maturities.  The fair value of long-term debt is based on rates currently available to the Bank for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities.
 
 
Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments.  The fair value of commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements.  The fair value of these financial instruments is not material.

Note 7 — Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In April 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) FAS 157-4, “Determining Whether a Market Is Not Active and a Transaction Is Not Distressed.”  FSP FAS 157-4 provides guidelines for making fair value measurements more consistent with the principles presented in SFAS 157.  FSP FAS 157-4 provides additional authoritative guidance in determining whether a market is active or inactive, and whether a transaction is distressed, is applicable to all assets and liabilities (i.e. financial and nonfinancial) and will require enhanced disclosures.
 
 
Also in April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 115-2 and EITF 99-20-2, “Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments.”  The FSP amends FASB Statements No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities,” and EITF Issue No. 99-20, “Recognition of Interest Income and Impairment on Purchased Beneficial Interests and Beneficial Interests That Continue to Be Held by a Transferor in Securitized Financial Assets,” to make the other-than-temporary impairment guidance more operational and to improve the presentation of other-than-temporary impairments in the financial statements.  This statement applies to other-than-temporary impairments of debt and equity securities and requires a company to assert that (a) it does not have the intent to sell the security in question and (b) it is more likely than not that it will not have to sell the security in question before recovery of its cost basis to avoid an impairment being considered other-than-temporary.  This FSP also changes the amount of impairment losses recognized in earnings.  Under this FSP impairments are separated into two components: (i) the amount of impairments related to credit losses and (ii) and the amount related to other factors.  The amount of impairment related to credit losses is reflected as a charge to earnings, while the amount deemed to be related to other factors is reflected as an adjustment to shareholders’ equity through other comprehensive income.
 
 
And also in April 2009 the FASB issued FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments.”  This FSP amends FASB Statement No. 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” to require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments in interim as well as in annual financial statements. This FSP also amends APB Opinion No. 28, “Interim Financial Reporting,” to require those disclosures in all interim financial statements.
 
 
The standards summarized in the preceding paragraphs were effective for the financial reporting period ended June 30, 2009, and did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.  The new interim disclosures required by FSP FAS No. 107-1 and APB 28-1 are included in Note 6 – Fair Value Measurement.
 
 
The Company implemented Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 165, Subsequent Events (SFAS 165), effective for the financial reporting period ended June 30, 2009. This standard establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued. The adoption of SFAS 165 did not impact the Company’s financial position or results of operations. The Company evaluated all events or transactions that occurred after June 30, 2009 up through August 13, 2009, the date these financial statements were available to be issued. During this period the Company did not have any material recognizable subsequent events.
 


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

Forward-Looking Statements
 
Some matters discussed in this Form 10-Q may be “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and therefore may involve risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause our actual results to be materially different from the results expressed or implied by our forward-looking statements.  These statements generally appear with words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “may,” “intend,” and “expect.”  Although management believes that the assumptions and expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, it can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct.  Factors that could cause actual results to differ from results discussed in forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: economic conditions (both generally and in the markets where the Bank operates); competition from other providers of financial services offered by the Bank; government regulation and legislation; changes in interest rates; material unforeseen changes in the financial stability and liquidity of the Bank’s credit customers; and other risks detailed in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, all of which are difficult to predict and which may be beyond the control of the Company or the Bank.  The Company undertakes no obligation to revise forward-looking statements to reflect events or changes after the date of this discussion or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
 

Overview of Results of Operations and Financial Condition
 
 
 
·
The Company incurred a net loss of $(680) thousand for the second quarter of 2009, as compared with a net loss of $(1.346) million for the second three months of 2008.  For the first six months of 2009, the Company’s net loss was $(476) thousand, as compared with a net loss of $(1.452) million for the first half of 2008.  The factors resulting in the 2009 results will be discussed below.
 
 
 
·
Net interest income for the three-month period ended June 30, 2009 decreased by $63 thousand, or 4%, from the comparable period in 2008, due primarily to a decrease in the net interest margin of 0.80 percentage points.  For the first half of 2009, net interest income declined by $144 thousand, or 5%, from the first six months of 2008.
 
 
 
·
The provision for loan losses decreased by $1.944 million, or 84%, from the second quarter of 2008 to the same quarter in 2009.  For the six months, the loan loss provision declined by $1.864 million, or 73%.  Increased risk in a few large relationships, along with a general downturn in the economy in 2008, caused management and the board of directors to enhance the allowance for loan and lease losses (“ALLL”) by $2.3 million in the second quarter of last year.
 
 
 
·
For the three months ended June 30, 2009, non-interest income increased by $125 thousand, or 91%, from the same period in 2008, primarily due to increased gains on sales of SBA-guaranteed loans in 2009.  For the first six months of 2009, non-interest income was up $405 thousand, or 138%, over the same period in 2008.  In addition to increased sales of SBA-guaranteed loans, non-interest income for the first six months of 2009 included $239 thousand of gains on the sale of appreciated securities.
 
 
 
·
Non-interest expense increased by $384 thousand, or 22%, for the second three months of 2009, as compared to the second quarter of 2008.  For the first half of 2009, non-interest expense was up $556 thousand, or 16%.  These increases were principally due to material increases in FDIC insurance assessments, the cost of outsourcing Information Technology management, costs associated with opening a new branch office in Santa Maria, and professional fees primarily related to problem loan resolution.
 
 
 
·
A material contribution to the Company’s first half net income was $511,000 of tax benefits, $351,000 of which was due to the Bank’s ability under ARRA to carry back 2008’s net operating losses to five prior years.
 
 
 
·
Total assets increased by $4.3 million, or 2.0%, from December 31, 2008 to June 30, 2009.  Total loans decreased by $1.9 million, or 1.2%, over that period, while deposits increased by $15.9 million, or 11.0%.
 
 
 
·
On January 9, 2009, the Company issued to the United States Department of the Treasury (“the Treasury”) a total of 5,116 shares of a new Series D Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock (“Series D Preferred”) at $1,000 per share.  This transaction is a part of the Capital Purchase Program of the TARP.  The $5.1 million in new capital was subsequently invested in Mission Community Bank as Tier 1 capital.
 

Income Summary
 
For the three months ended June 30, 2009, the Company incurred a net loss of $(680) thousand.  This compares with a net loss of $(1.346) million for the comparable period of 2008.  For the first six months of 2009, the Company’s net loss was $(476) thousand, as compared with a net loss of $(1.452) million for the first half of 2008.
 
 
Return on average assets (annualized) was (1.22)% for the second quarter of 2009, as compared with (3.00)% for the second quarter of 2008.  Annualized return on average equity was (10.65)% for the second quarter of 2009 as compared with (26.76)% for the comparable 2008 period.  For the first half of 2009, return on average assets was (0.43)%, as compared with (1.68)% for the same period in 2008.  Return on average equity was (3.82)% for the first six months of 2009, as compared with (16.06)% for the comparable period in 2008.
 
 
Excluding tax benefits, the Company incurred a loss of $(712) thousand for the second quarter of 2009—a reduction of $1,622 thousand from the pre-tax loss of $(2,334) thousand recorded for the same period in 2008.  For the first six months of 2009, the Company’s pre-tax loss was $(987) thousand—a $1,569 reduction from the $(2,556) thousand loss before taxes for the first half of 2008.

Net Interest Income
 
Net interest income is the largest source of the Bank’s operating income.  For the three-month period ended June 30, 2009, net interest income was $1.538 million, a decrease of $63 thousand, or 4%, from the comparable period in 2008.  For the first six months of 2009, net interest income was $3.019 million, down $144 thousand, or 5%, from the first half of 2008.
 
 
The net interest margin (net interest income as a percentage of average interest earning assets) was 3.05% for the three-month period ended June 30, 2009, a decrease of 80 basis points as compared to the same period in 2008.  As short-term interest rates dropped throughout 2008—2.25% in the first four months of 2008 and 1.75% in the fourth quarter—the Bank experienced increasing pressure on the margin, as competition for deposits in the local market would not permit decreases in deposit rates at the same speed or to the same degree as loan rates were falling.  In addition, the Bank has received an influx of CD deposits since mid-year 2008, as local depositors sought out safety, with yield often a secondary concern (see the Deposits section of this report).  Opportunities to place those new funds in assets earning higher rates than the CD’s have been limited this year, putting additional pressure on the net interest  margin.
 
 
The following tables show the relative impact of changes in average balances of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities, and interest rates earned and paid by the Company and the Bank on those assets and liabilities for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008:

The tables above reflect the impact of lower yields received on loans due to the reduction in the prime rate over the past year, while growth in the balances of loans and other interest-earning assets have had a positive, albeit lesser, impact.  On the liability side, the rate reductions have also had a beneficial effect, but not enough to offset the reduction in loan yields.  Overall, the pressure we have experienced on the net interest margin over the past several quarters is just beginning to ease up as we move through 2009.
 
 
Based on current economic forecasts, the Bank anticipates that short-term interest rates will remain low through the remainder of 2009.  We expect this to result in some continued easing of pressure on the net interest margin, since more fixed rate funding sources (certificates of deposit and borrowed funds) than loans are expected to reprice downward as they mature over the balance of 2009 and as additional opportunities to place lower-earning assets into more profitable investment options become available.
 

Provision for Loan Losses
 
The Bank recorded a $381 thousand provision for loan losses for the three months ended June 30, 2009, as compared with $2.325 million for the second quarter of 2008.  For the six months ended June 30, 2009, the loan loss provision totaled $681 thousand, down from $2.545 million in the first half of 2008.
 
 
During the first quarter of last year, in the normal course of business, the Bank underwent both an annual external credit review and a regulatory examination.  While there were no noted issues reflected in those reviews, the downturn in the economy, combined with events in the banking sector last year, caused management to initiate an additional third party review of the Bank’s loan portfolio in the second quarter of 2008.  After the results of that review, management and the board of directors decided to enhance the allowance for loan and lease losses by $2.3 million, resulting in the unusually large loan loss provision in the second quarter of last year.
 
 
Loan charge-offs totaled $963 thousand and recoveries totaled $18 thousand for the second quarter of 2009, as compared with $700 thousand of charge-offs and $5 thousand of recoveries for the same period in 2008.  For the six months, charge-offs were $1.173 million and recoveries were $24 thousand in 2009, as compared with $721 thousand of charge-offs and $12 thousand of recoveries for the first half of 2008. The ratio of allowance for loan losses to total loans was 2.29% at June 30, 2009, as compared to 2.01% a year ago and 2.57% as of December 31, 2008.
 
 
The provision for loan losses and allowance for loan losses reflect management’s consideration of the various risks in the loan portfolio.  Additional discussion of loan quality and the allowance for loan losses is provided in the Asset Quality, Potential Problem Loans and Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses sections of this report.
 

Non-Interest Income
 
Non-interest income represents service charges on deposit accounts and other non-interest related charges and fees, including fees from the sale of loans and gains on sales of securities.  For the three-month period ended June 30, 2009, non-interest income was $263 thousand, an increase of $125 thousand, or 91%, from the same period in 2008.  This increase was primarily due to increased gains on the sale of SBA loans.  After several months of a nearly frozen secondary market for SBA loans, the market began to thaw toward the end of the first quarter of this year.  For the first half of 2009, non-interest income totaled $699 thousand, up from $294 thousand in the first six months of 2008.  The increase in non-interest income for the first six months of 2009 was also due to the sale of $7.5 million of appreciated securities in the first quarter, on which the Bank recognized $239 thousand in gains.

The majority of the service charge income shown in the table relates to NSF fee income and other fees not directly assessed on deposit accounts.  Many of the Bank’s deposit products and services have low or no monthly fees, and the Bank does not expect to change this strategy in the near future.
 

Non-Interest Expense
 
Non-interest expense represents salaries and benefits, occupancy expenses, professional fees, outside services, and other miscellaneous expenses necessary to conduct business.
 
 
Non-interest expenses increased by $384 thousand, or 22%, for the three months ended June 30, 2009, as compared to the second quarter of 2008.  For the first half of 2009, non-interest expenses were up $556 thousand, or 16%, over the same period in 2008.

The increase in non-interest expense was principally due to material increases in FDIC insurance assessments (FDIC insurance increased $186 thousand for the second quarter of 2009 vs. 2008, and $191 thousand for the six months), the cost of outsourcing Information Technology management ($52 thousand for the second quarter and $104 thousand for the six months—included in data processing expense), and professional fees ($47 thousand for the second quarter and $54 thousand for the six months) primarily related to problem loan resolution.  Insurance and regulatory assessments for the second quarter and first six months of 2009 include a $97 thousand special FDIC assessment.
 
 
Salaries and benefits have been essentially flat, despite the increased staff for the Santa Maria branch office, which opened in December 2008.  For the second quarter, the Santa Maria branch added $77 thousand in salaries and benefits expense, as compared to the second quarter of 2008.  For the six months, the additional salaries and benefits totaled $140 thousand.  In all, Santa Maria represents increased non-interest expenses of $155 thousand for the second quarter and $298 thousand for the six months.
 


Income Taxes
 
The Company’s net income for the first half of 2009 was augmented by $511,000 of tax benefits, $351,000 of which was due to the Bank’s ability under ARRA to carry back 2008’s net operating losses to five prior years.  Tax laws in effect as of December 31, 2008 permitted only a two-year carry back period.  This $351,000 tax benefit was recognized in the first quarter of 2009.  Excluding this $351 thousand tax adjustment, the effective tax rate (income tax benefit as a percentage of pre-tax loss) for the first half of 2009 would have been 16.2%, as compared with 43.2% for the same period in 2008.
 

Balance Sheet Analysis
 
At June 30, 2009, consolidated assets totaled $219.8 million, as compared with $215.5 million at December 31, 2008, and $186.0 million at the end of 2008’s second quarter.  This represents an increase of $33.8 million (18%) over the past twelve months.  Total loans increased $3.0 million (2%) over that period, while deposits increased $34.5 million (27%) and shareholders’ equity increased $6.2 million (33%).  The growth in shareholders’ equity was the result of a private placement of common stock in December 2008 for a total of $3.8 million, and the issuance in January 2009 of $5.1 million of preferred stock to the United States Department of the Treasury under the Capital Purchase Program of the TARP.  See the Capital Ratios section of this report.

The table shows flat loan growth in the first half of 2009.  Real estate loans, which are predominately commercial real estate loans, have increased, while construction and commercial loans have declined.  Of the total real estate and construction loans as of June 30, 2009, 69% are commercial mortgage loans, and 46% of those are owner-occupied properties.  Approximately 9% of the owner-occupied commercial mortgage loans contain SBA guarantees.
 
 

 
Asset Quality
 
Non-accrual loans totaled $3.2 million at June, 2009, as compared to $3.6 million at December 31, 2008 and $4.9 million at June 30, 2008.
 
 
Management classifies loans as non-accrual when principal or interest is past due 90 days or more based on the contractual terms of the loan, unless the loan is well-secured and in the process of collection.  Loans that are not past-due 90 days or more will also be classified as non-accrual when, in the opinion of management, there exists a reasonable doubt as to the full and timely collection of either principal or interest.  Once a loan is classified as non-accrual, it may not be reclassified as an accruing loan until all principal and interest payments are brought current and the loan is considered to be collectible as to both principal and interest.
 
 
Restructured loans are those loans with concessions in interest rates or repayment terms due to a decline in the financial condition of the borrower.  Foreclosed real estate represents real estate acquired in satisfaction of loans through foreclosure or other means and is carried on an individual asset basis at the lower of the recorded investment in the related loan or the estimated fair value of the property, less selling expenses.

The high level of non-performing loans over the past year has been due to the significant downturn in the economy and reduction in real estate collateral values in 2008 and 2009.  The $4.8 million of non-performing loans as of June 30, 2009, includes $1.1 million of SBA loans, which are supported by $1.0 million of SBA loan guarantees.
 

Potential Problem Loans
 
At June 30, 2009, the Bank had approximately $17.1 million of loans that were not categorized as non-performing but for which known information about the borrower’s financial condition caused management to have concern about the ability of the borrowers to comply with the repayment terms of the loans.  This represents a $0.5 million decrease from the $17.6 million of potential problem loans at December 31, 2008.  The $17.1 million of potential problem loans are supported by $590 thousand of SBA loan guarantees.
 
 
Potential problem loans were identified through the ongoing loan review process and are subject to continuing management attention.  Management has provided in the allowance for loan and lease losses for potential losses related to these loans, based on an evaluation of current market conditions, loan collateral, other secondary sources of repayment and cash flow generation.
 
 
 

Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses
 
The allowance for loan and lease losses (“ALLL”) at June 30, 2009 totaled $3.5 million, a decrease of $468 thousand from December 31, 2008.  The ratio of ALLL to total loans at June 30, 2009, was 2.29%, as compared with 2.57% at December 31, 2008, and 2.01% at June 30, 2008.  At June 30, 2009 and 2008, the ratio of ALLL to total non-performing loans was 72% and 60%, respectively.

    1.09 %     6.64 %     1.03 %     3.82 %

 
Loans charged off in the second quarter of 2009 included one construction loan for a mini-storage facility ($498 thousand), two owner-occupied commercial real estate loans (total of $207 thousand), one non-owner-occupied residential lot loan ($59 thousand), and several small commercial loans secured by non-real estate assets (total of $195 thousand).  Charge-offs in the first quarter of 2009 included one home equity loan ($115 thousand), primarily due to declining property values; the balance remaining upon payoff of one construction loan for a multi-family residential project ($68 thousand); and a few small commercial loans secured by non-real estate assets (total of $23 thousand).  For the second quarter of 2008, loan charge-offs included non-real estate secured commercial loans totaling $696 thousand.
 
 
The Bank makes provisions for loan losses when required to bring the total allowance for loan and lease losses to a level deemed appropriate for the level of risk in the loan portfolio.  At least quarterly, management conducts an assessment of the overall quality of the loan portfolio and general economic trends in the local market.  The determination of the appropriate level for the allowance is based on that review, considering such factors as historical experience, the volume and type of lending conducted, the amount of and identified potential loss associated with specific nonperforming loans, regulatory policies, general economic conditions, and other factors related to the collectibility of loans in the portfolio.
 
 
Based on its quarterly review, management believes that the allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2009, is sufficient to absorb losses inherent in the loan portfolio.  This assessment is based upon the best available information and does involve uncertainty and matters of judgment.  Accordingly, the adequacy of the allowance cannot be determined with precision and could be susceptible to significant change in future periods.
 
 
In addition, management has established a reserve for undisbursed loan commitments.  As of June 30, 2009, this reserve totaled $105,000 and is included in other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet.
 

Investments
 
In 2004, management established a loss reserve for one of the Bank’s asset-backed securities after concluding it was “other than temporarily impaired.”  The security is in non-accrual status, with any interest payments received being credited to the reserve.  As of June 30, 2009, the book value of the security was $20 thousand ($307 thousand amortized cost less the loss reserve, which totals $287 thousand).
 
 
While management has made a best effort to determine the probable loss on this security, no assurances can be given that future changes in the underlying collateral and payments will not materially affect the value of this security with either positive or negative changes.  However, management will continue to closely monitor this investment and, if needed, recognize additional write-downs.
 
 
Excluding the impaired asset-backed security referred to above, all securities in the Bank’s investment portfolio are considered to be investment grade.  The portfolio consists of a mixture of fixed-rate mortgage-backed securities (37%), floating-rate mortgage-backed securities (7%), fixed-rate US agency securities (36%), fixed-rate tax-exempt municipal securities (8%), fixed-rate CMO’s (6%) and floating-rate corporate debt securities (6%).  The Bank has no investments in FannieMae or FreddieMac equity securities (common or preferred) and none of the mortgage-backed securities are backed by “sub-prime” mortgages.  None of the Bank’s municipal securities may be called before 2011.  The average life of the portfolio is projected to be 3.0 years, with a duration of 2.7 years.
 

Deposits
 
Deposits are the primary source of funding for lending and investing needs.  Total deposits were $160.7 million as of June 30, 2009, as compared with $144.8 million at December 31, 2008, and $126.2 million at June 30, 2008.
 
 
The Bank generally prices deposits at or above the median rate by classification based on periodic interest rate surveys in the local market.  Deposit rates are then adjusted to balance the cost of funds versus funding needs and asset and liability considerations.  The Net Interest Analysis and Rate/Volume Analysis earlier in this Discussion contain information regarding the average rates paid on deposits for the first six months of 2009 and 2008.
 
 
The Bank is one of only two banks in San Luis Obispo county participating in the Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Service (“CDARS”) program.  This program permits the Bank’s customers to place their certificates of deposit at one institution—Mission Community Bank—and have those deposits fully-insured by the FDIC, up to $50 million.  The CDARS program acts as a clearinghouse, matching deposits from one institution in the CDARS network of nearly 3,000 banks with other network banks (in increments of less than the per-depositor FDIC insurance limit), so funds that a customer places with the Bank essentially remain on the Bank’s balance sheet.  The CDARS program has become very attractive since mid-year 2008, as local depositors sought out safety, with yield often a secondary concern.  As of June 30, 2009, the Bank had issued $48.5 million of certificates of deposit to local customers through the CDARS program, up from $6.8 million as of June 30, 2008.
 
 
On October 3, 2008, then-President Bush signed into law the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (“EESA”).  The legislation was in response to the financial crises affecting the banking system and financial markets.  EESA temporarily (until December 31, 2009) raised the basic limit on FDIC deposit insurance coverage from $100,000 to $250,000 per depositor.  Since then, the FDIC has extended the $250,000 limit through the end of 2013.  See also Effects of Inflation and Economic Issues below, for a discussion of the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (“EESA”), and its potential impact on the Company.
 
 
On October 14, 2008, the FDIC announced another temporary program (until December 31, 2009) to provide full FDIC insurance coverage for non-interest bearing transaction accounts, regardless of dollar amount.  Management and the board of directors evaluated the additional cost of this optional insurance program and determined that it would be in the Bank’s best interests to provide this coverage to its depositors.  The cost to the Bank for this additional deposit insurance coverage is 10 basis points on the amount of non-interest-bearing deposits in excess of $250,000.  To date, the FDIC has not extended the unlimited insurance coverage for non-interest bearing accounts beyond 2009.
 

Borrowings
 
In addition to the Company’s junior subordinated debt securities, the Bank has borrowed from, and expects to continue to have borrowings from, the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco (“FHLB”).  Interest rates and terms for FHLB borrowings are generally more favorable than the rates for similar term certificates of deposit.
 
 
As of June 30, 2009, borrowings from the FHLB totaled $29.8 million, with a weighted average interest rate of 3.82%.  Of the $29.8 million, $3.0 million was borrowed in 2003 for 10 years to offset a specific pool of the Bank’s fixed rate loans maturing in 2013.  During the second quarter of 2007, $3.0 million of short-term brokered deposits were replaced with $3.0 million of FHLB advances maturing in 2010.  The remaining $23.8 million was borrowed to meet shorter-term funding needs and matures on various dates from July through December 2009.
 

Capital
 
Total shareholders’ equity has increased $6.2 million, or 33%, over the past twelve months.  The growth in shareholders’ equity was the result of 1) a private placement on December 2, 2008 of 225,026 shares of common stock sold to the Carpenter Community BancFund-A, L.P. at a price of $17.10 per share, for aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of $3.8 million, and 2) the issuance on January 9, 2009, of 5,116 shares of a Series D Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock to the United States Department of the Treasury at $1,000 per share.  The preferred stock issue is part of the Capital Purchase Program of the TARP.  The Company invested a total of $8.1 million from these two capital transactions in Mission Community Bank as Tier 1 capital.
 
 
The following table shows the Bank’s capital ratios, as calculated under regulatory guidelines, compared to the regulatory minimum capital ratios and the regulatory minimum capital ratios needed to qualify as a “well-capitalized” institution at June 30, 2009, December 31, 2008, and June 30, 2008:

See also Effects of Inflation and Economic Issues below, for a discussion of EESA and its potential impact on the Company.
 

Liquidity
 
The Bank’s liquidity, which primarily represents the ability to meet fluctuations in deposit levels and provide for customers’ credit needs, is managed through various funding strategies that reflect the maturity structures of the sources of funds and the assets being funded.  The Bank’s liquidity is further augmented by payments of principal and interest on loans and increases in short-term liabilities such as demand deposits and short-term certificates of deposit.  Cash and cash equivalents (primarily federal funds sold) are the primary means for providing immediate liquidity.  The Bank had $13.0 million in cash and cash equivalents on June 30, 2009, as compared with $17.7 million as of December 31, 2008 and $3.0 million on June 30, 2008.
 
 
In order to meet the Bank’s liquidity requirements, the Bank endeavors to maintain an appropriate ratio of loans to deposits, and to maintain sufficient off-balance-sheet sources of funds which may be drawn upon when needed.  For the month of June 2009, the Bank’s loans-to-deposits ratio was 91%.  The sources of funding ratio, which measures available off-balance-sheet sources of funds as a percentage of total on-balance-sheet assets, was 41.5% as of June 30, 2009.
 
 
One of the Bank’s off-balance-sheet sources of funds is potential borrowing capacity through the FHLB.  FHLB borrowings are collateralized by loans and/or investments and can be structured over various terms ranging from overnight to ten years.  As of June 30, 2009, the Bank had outstanding borrowings from the FHLB totaling $29.8 million.  Interest rates and terms for FHLB borrowings are generally more favorable than the rates for similar term brokered certificates of deposit or for federal funds purchased.  The Bank has the potential (on a secured basis) to borrow from the FHLB up to approximately 25 percent of its total assets.  Based on this limitation and loans and securities pledged as of June 30, 2009, an additional $22.2 million could be borrowed from the FHLB if needed.  The Bank has been reducing its FHLB borrowings as they have matured over the past few months, and it expects to continue to do so in 2009 and 2010.  However, FHLB borrowings may be used from time to time when needed as part of the Bank’s normal liquidity management to fund asset growth on a cost-effective basis.
 
 
The Bank also has access to the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco’s (“FRB-SF”) “Discount Window” for additional secured borrowing should the need arise.  As of June 30, 2009, the Bank had pledged $55.4 million of its loan portfolio to the FRB-SF, which provided the Bank with $34.9 million in additional short-term borrowing capacity.
 
 
On October 14, 2008, The FDIC announced a new program, the Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program (“TLGP”), in which the Bank and the Company chose to participate.  TLGP provides FDIC guarantees for qualifying unsecured debt issued on or before June 30, 2009.  No qualifying debt was issued by the Bank or the Company on or before the June 30 deadline.  Therefore, participation in the TLGP program has resulted in no cost to the Bank or the Company.
 

Off-Balance-Sheet Arrangements
 
In the normal course of business, the Bank enters into financial commitments to meet the financing needs of its customers, including commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit.  Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk not recognized in the consolidated balance sheet.
 
 
As of the dates indicated, the Bank had the following outstanding financial commitments whose contractual amount represents credit risk:

    304       304       197  
    $ 19,538     $ 28,731     $ 31,330  
 

 
 
The Bank’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance on commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Bank uses the same credit policies in making commitments as it does for loans reflected in the financial statements.  The effect on the Bank’s revenues, expenses, cash flows and liquidity from the unused portion of commitments to provide credit cannot be reasonably predicted, as there is no guarantee the lines of credit will ever be used.
 

Effects of Inflation and Economic Issues
 
A financial institution’s asset and liability structure is substantially different from that of an industrial firm in that primarily all assets and liabilities of a bank are monetary in nature, with relatively little investments in fixed assets or inventories.  Inflation has an important impact on the growth of total assets and the resulting need to increase equity capital at higher than normal rates in order to maintain an appropriate equity to assets ratio.  Management believes that the impact of inflation on financial results depends on the Company’s ability to react to changes in interest rates and, by such reaction, reduce the inflationary impact on performance.  Management has attempted to structure the mix of financial instruments and manage interest rate sensitivity in order to minimize the potential adverse effects of inflation or other market forces on net interest income and, therefore, earnings and capital.
 
 
California’s statewide unemployment rate stands at 11.6% as of June 2009, significantly above the national average of 8.5%.  For San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara Counties, unemployment has trended upward over the past twelve months to stand at 9.0% and 8.2%, respectively.  However, these continue to be some of the lowest unemployment rates in the state.  After several years of strong appreciation, local real estate values declined in 2007 and 2008, as residential and commercial sale activity slowed.  There can be no assurance that the economy will not deteriorate further or that real estate values will return to pre-2007 levels in the short term or at all.  As such, the Bank closely monitors credit quality, interest rate risk and operational expenses.
 
 
The EESA gives the U.S. Treasury the authority to, among other things; invest in preferred stock of financial institutions and purchase mortgages, mortgage-backed securities and certain other financial instruments from financial institutions for the purpose of stabilizing and providing liquidity to the U.S. financial markets.  There can be no assurance, however, as to the ultimate impact the EESA will have on the financial markets.  Although the extreme level of volatility experienced in the fourth quarter of 2008 has abated to a large extent and credit availability, while still limited, appears to be improving, if the EESA fails to achieve its goal to help stabilize the financial markets or if financial market conditions worsen, the Company’s financial condition or results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.
 
 
On October 14, 2008, the U.S. Treasury Department announced that it would utilize a portion of the EESA funding to directly purchase up to $250 billion of preferred stock in banks.   Management and the board of directors evaluated the initial terms of this capital purchase program and determined that it would be in the Company’s best interests to apply for the maximum amount of capital that might be made available to the Company and submitted its application in November 2008.  The Treasury Dept., in consultation with the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, which serves as the primary federal regulator of the Bank, subsequently determined that the Company was eligible for $5.1 million of capital, which was issued in the form of Series D preferred stock on January 9, 2009.
 

Item 3.                      Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Not applicable.

Item 4T.                      Controls and Procedures
 
The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15(d)-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this report (the “Evaluation Date”) have concluded that as of the Evaluation Date, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were adequate and effective to ensure that material information relating to the Company would be made known to them by others within the Company, particularly during the period in which this report was being prepared.  Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.  Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
 
There were no significant changes in the Company’s internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting in the Company’s fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2009.
