Note 1                    Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial information has been prepared in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and regulations for quarterly reporting and therefore does not necessarily include all information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.  This information should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2005 filed on Form 10-KSB.

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 information for the three month and six month period ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring accruals and provisions, necessary for a fair presentation thereof.

Some matters discussed in this Form 10-QSB 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”.

Note 2                    Earnings Per Share

Effective December 31, 1997, the Company adopted SFAS No. 128, “Earnings per Share”.  Accordingly, basic earnings per share are computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period.  The computation of diluted earnings per share also considers the number of shares issuable upon the assumed exercise of outstanding common stock options.  All earnings per common share amounts presented have been restated in accordance with the provisions of this statement.

Note 3                    Stock-Based Compensation

In December 2004, Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) revised SFAS 123 and issued under its new name, “Share-Based Payment”.  This statement eliminates the previously allowable alternative to use Opinion 25’s intrinsic value method of accounting.  Instead, this Statement generally requires entities to recognize the cost of employee services received in exchange for awards of stock options, or other equity instruments, based on the grant-date fair value of those awards.  This cost is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award, generally the vesting period.

The Company has adopted this Statement in 2006 for all new stock option awards as well as any existing awards that are modified, repurchased or cancelled.  In addition, the unvested portion of previously awarded options have also been recognized as expense during the first six months of 2006.  During the half of 2006, $37,349 was expensed by the Company for stock option related compensation.

Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company accounted for stock-based compensation under the FASB’s SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” which allowed companies to use an intrinsic value method prescribed in Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related interpretations.

SFAS No. 123 (R) requires that cash flows resulting from the realization of tax deductions in excess of the compensation cost recognized (excess tax benefits) are to be classified as financing cash flows.  Before the adoption of SFAS No. 123 (R), the Company presented all tax benefits realized from the exercise of stock options as operating cash flows in the Statement of Cash Flows.  The $7,716 excess tax benefit classified as a financing cash inflow would have been classified as an operating cash inflow if we had not adopted SFAS 123 (R).

8




Had previously recognized compensation cost (prior to 2006) for the Company’s stock option plan been determined based on the fair value at the grant dates for awards under those plans consistent with the method of SFAS 123R, the Company’s net income and earnings per share would have been reduced to the pro forma amounts indicated below:

In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140.”  The statement amends SFAS no. 140 by  (1) requiring the separate accounting for servicing assets and servicing liablilties, which arise from the sale of financial assets; (2) requiring all separately recognized serving assets and servicing liabilities to be initially measured at fair value, if practicable; and (3) permitting an entity to choose between an amortization method or a fair value method for subsequent measurement for each class of separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities.  The Company must adopt the statement no later than January 1, 2007.  Management does not expect that the adoption of this new standard will have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes.”  This interpretation applies to all tax positions accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.”  FIN 48 clarifies the application of SFAS No. 109 by defining the criteria that an individual tax position must meet in order for the position to be recognized within the financial statements and provides guidance on measurement, derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition for tax positions.  The Company must adopt the interpretation by January 1, 2007.  Management does not expect that the adoption of this new interpretation will have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

The accompanying financial information should be read in conjunction with Coast Bancorp’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2005.

Description of Business

Coast Bancorp

Coast Bancorp, (the “Bancorp” or “Coast Bancorp”) headquartered in San Luis Obispo, California, is a California corporation incorporated in 2001.  Coast Bancorp became the bank holding company of Coast National Bank on May 31, 2001 through a corporate reorganization.  In the reorganization, Coast National Bank became the wholly-owned subsidiary of Coast Bancorp and the shareholders of the Bank became shareholders of Coast Bancorp.  Coast Bancorp is operated through a two-tiered corporate structure.  At the holding company level the affairs of Coast Bancorp are overseen by a Board of Directors elected by the shareholders of Coast Bancorp at the annual meeting of shareholders.  The business of the Bank is overseen by a Board of Directors elected by Coast Bancorp, the sole owner of the Bank.  As of the date of this Form 10-QSB the respective members of the Board of Directors of the Bank and the Board of Directors of Coast Bancorp are identical.  Coast Bancorp is subject to the regulations of, and examination by, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.  At present, Coast Bancorp does not engage in any material business activities other than the ownership of the Bank.  Financial information presented herein for June 30, 2006 and comparative information for December 31, 2005 and June 30, 2005 is inclusive of the consolidated Company.

Coast National Bank

Coast National Bank (the “Bank”) was chartered June 16, 1997 (charter #23222) by The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency as a national bank.  The Bank commenced operations on that date with two offices, 16 employees and $6,250,000 in capital.  The original branch offices were located at 486 Marsh Street, San Luis Obispo and 1199 Grand Avenue, Arroyo Grande, California.  Since that time, an additional branch office was opened in June 1998 at 948 Morro Bay Boulevard in Morro Bay, California and another branch office was opened in July 1999 at 1193 Los Osos Valley Road in Los Osos, California.  In July 2002, a loan production office was opened at 930 South Broadway Street in Santa Maria, California and in July 2004 moved to 301 S. Miller Street, Ste. 110 in Santa Maria, California. In December 2005, the office was relocated to 411 Betteravia Rd., Ste 201, Santa Maria, California.  In October 2004 a loan production office was opened in Santa Barbara, California at 15 West Carrillo Street, Ste. 252.  The original lease on this facility expired and the office was closed in September 2005.  The Bank applied for and received approval from the Comptroller of the Currency for another branch office at 2138 Spring Street, Paso Robles, California which opened in March 2005.  The Bank also purchased a lot at 2045 Spring Street, Paso Robles, California with the intention of relocating the Paso Robles branch sometime in the future.  In June 2005, the Bank opened a new loan production office at 7429 N. First St., Ste. 104, Fresno, California.

When the Bank opened for business in June 1997, it purchased the real estate and building that housed the Arroyo Grande branch office.  On October 14, 1999, the Bank purchased an adjacent lot next to the San Luis Obispo main office on Marsh Street.  A few months later on February 1, 2000, the Bank also purchased the contiguous property and building that was home to the San Luis Obispo main office at 486 Marsh Street.  Construction of a new head office building on the adjacent lot began on October 11, 2001 and was completed on November 25, 2002.  The new main office, located at 500 Marsh Street is approximately 10,700 square feet with the San Luis Obispo branch operation occupying the ground floor and the administrative offices occupying the second floor.  Half of the original main office at 486 Marsh Street now houses the Bank’s Small Business Lending Center and the Bank’s Note Department while the other half is leased to various businesses.

On March 29, 2002, the Bank purchased a vacant site on Morro Bay Boulevard in Morro Bay that is approximately one block from the existing branch.  The purpose for this acquisition was the eventual construction and relocation of the Morro Bay branch to a larger facility with a drive-through lane.  In October 2003 construction began on the new Morro Bay facility which was completed and occupied in August 2004. The branch consists of approximately 2700 square feet with two drive through lanes.

As of June 30, 2006, the Bank had a total of 73 employees.  A number of these employees are part-time however. Part-time employees are converted to full-time equivalent employees on the percentage of their weekly hours worked compared to 40 hours.  On a full-time equivalent basis, employees represent 69 positions.  The Bank values its employees.  They are actively engaged individually and as a team in contributing to the Bank’s realization of its vision and mission.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our accounting policies are integral to understanding the results reported.  In preparing its consolidated financial statements, the Company is required to make judgments and estimates that may have a significant impact upon its financial results.  Certain accounting policies require the Company to make significant estimates and assumptions, which have a material impact on the carrying value of certain assets and liabilities, and are considered critical accounting policies.  The estimates and assumptions used are based on the historical experiences and other factors, which are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.  Actual results could differ significantly from these estimates and assumptions, which could have a material impact on the carrying value of assets and liabilities at the balance sheet dates and results of operations for the reporting periods.  For example, the Company’s determination of the adequacy of its allowance for credit losses is particularly susceptible to management’s judgment and estimates.  The following is a brief description of our current accounting policies involving significant management valuation judgments.

Allowance for Credit Losses

The allowance for credit losses represents management’s best estimate of losses inherent in the existing loan portfolio.  The allowance for loan losses is increased by the provision for loan losses charged to expense and reduced by loans charged off, net of recoveries.  The allowance for loan losses is determined based on management’s assessment of several factors: reviews and evaluation of individual loans, changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, current economic conditions and the related impact on specific borrowers and industry groups, historical loan loss experiences and the levels of classified and nonperforming loans.

Loans are considered impaired if, based on current information and events, it is probable that we will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement.  The measurement of impaired loans is generally based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the historical effective interest rate stipulated in the loan agreement, except that all collateral-dependent loans are measured for impairment based on the fair value of the collateral.  In measuring the fair value of the collateral, management uses assumptions and methodologies consistent with those that would be utilized by unrelated third parties.

Changes in the financial condition of individual borrowers, in economic conditions, in historical loss experience and in the condition of the various markets in which collateral may be sold may all affect the required level of the allowance for loan losses and the associated provision for loan losses.

Available for Sale Securities

The fair value of most securities classified as available for sale are based on quoted market prices.  If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are extrapolated from the quoted prices of similar instruments.

Income Taxes

Deferred income taxes are computed using the asset and liability method, which recognizes a liability or asset representing the tax effects, based on current tax law, of future deductible or taxable amounts attributable to events that have been recognized in the consolidated financial statements.  A valuation allowance is established to reduce the deferred tax asset to the level at which it is “more likely than not” that the tax asset or benefits will be realized.  Realization of tax benefits of deductible temporary differences and operating loss carry forwards depends on having sufficient taxable income of an appropriate character within the carry forward periods.

Overview

Earnings Summary

For the three months ended June 30, 2006 the Bancorp reported consolidated net income of $333,000 or $0.47 diluted earnings per share compared to net income of $268,000 and $0.37 diluted earnings per share for the same period during 2005, a 24.25% increase.  For the six months ended June 30, 2006 the Bancorp reported consolidated net income of $653,000 or $0.93 diluted earnings per share compared to consolidated net income of $528,000 or $0.73 diluted earnings per share for the same period in 2005, a 23.67% increase.  The increase in net income was due in part to an increase in loans and loan income.

Balance Sheet Summary

As of June 30, 2006, total consolidated assets of Coast Bancorp were $183.9 million in comparison to total assets of $185.7 million as of December 31, 2005. This represents a decrease of $1.8 million, or 0.98%.  The increase in noninterest-bearing demand, money market and Now accounts was offset by a decrease in time deposits. The Company has been strategically reducing the amount of time deposits over $100,000 as a percentage of total deposits while remaining competitive with customers that have existing relationships with the Company. Compared to total consolidated assets of $171.2 million at June 30, 2005, the Company has increased assets by $12.7 million, or 7.40%, over the last twelve months.  These increases are the result of expansion of our customer base.

The Bank has continued to grow its loan portfolio.  Total loans as of June 30, 2006 were $143.7 million in comparison to total loans of $133.7 million as of December 31, 2005.  This represents an increase of $10.0 million, or 7.5%.  Compared to total loans of $129.7 million at June 30, 2005, the Company has increased loans by $14.0 million, or 10.82%, over the last twelve months. The loan portfolio has grown as a result of continued strong loan demand in the Bank’s market area and the Bank has drawn on Fed funds to fund this growth.

Total deposits as of June 30, 2006 were $166.5 million in comparison to total deposits of $169.0 million as of December 31, 2005.  This represents a decrease of $2.5 million, or 1.46%. The decrease is due to the Company’s realignment of time deposits over $100,000 as a percentage of total deposits. Compared to total deposits of $155.0 million at June 30, 2005, the Company has increased deposits by $11.5 million, or 7.4%, over the last twelve months.  This increase is due to the overall growth in our noninterest-bearing demand deposits, money market and NOW accounts.

Earnings Analysis

Net Interest Income

A significant component of the Bank’s earnings is from net interest income.  Net interest income is the amount by which the interest and amortization of fees generated from loans and other earning assets exceed the cost of funding those assets, usually deposit account interest expense.  Net interest income depends on the difference between gross interest and fees earned on the loans and investment portfolios and the interest rates paid on deposits and borrowings (“the interest rate spread”).   Net interest income after provision for credit losses was $2,273,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2006, compared to $1,977,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2005, representing an increase of 14.97%.  Net interest income after provision for credit losses was $4,377,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006, compared to $3,743,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2005, representing an increase of 16.94%.  This increase was primarily the result of growth in interest earning assets generated by the Banks’ branches and the increase in interest rates.

The following tables present, for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, the distribution of average assets, liabilities and shareholders’ equity.  In addition, the total amounts of interest income from average interest-earning assets and the resultant yields, and the dollar amounts of interest expense and average interest-bearing liabilities, expressed both in dollars and in rates are also presented.  Non-accrual loans are included in the calculation of the average balances of loans, and interest not accrued is excluded (dollar amounts in thousands).

Net interest income is affected by changes in the amount and mix of our interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, referred to as a “volume change”.  It is also affected by changes in the yields we earn on interest-earning assets and rates we pay on interest-bearing deposits and other borrowed funds, referred to as a “rate change”.

The following table sets forth changes in interest income and interest expense for each major category of interest-earning asset and interest-bearing deposit accounts, and the amount of change attributable to volume and rate changes for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005.  Changes not solely attributable to rate or volume have been allocated to volume and rate changes in proportion to the relationship of the absolute dollar amounts of the changes in each (dollar amounts in thousands).

Interest expense was $1,184,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 compared to $690,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2005, representing an increase of 71.59%.  Interest expense was $2,263,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006, compared to $1,214,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2005, an increase of 86.41%.  These increases reflect higher interest rates paid to all interest bearing accounts.

The net interest margin is the ratio of net interest income to average earning assets. This ratio is useful in allowing the Company to monitor the spread between interest income and interest expense between reporting periods irrespective of the growth of the Company’s assets.  The net interest margin increased 0.29% to 5.59% for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 as compared to 5.30% for the quarter ended June 30, 2005.  The net interest margin, 5.44% for the six months ending June 30, 2006 was 0.32% higher than the comparable figure, 5.12%, for the six month period ending June 30, 2005.  These increases are primarily due to the continued growth of quality loans and the Bank’s ability to respond to the changes in interest rates.

Non-Interest Income

Non-interest income represents deposit account service charges and other types of fee income.  Non-interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2006 totaled $107,000 compared to $118,000 for the same period in 2005, a 9.32% decrease. Non-interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2006 totaled $312,000 compared to $279,000 for the same period in 2005, an 11.83% increase.  For the six months ended June 30, 2006, the increase in non-interest income was due to both an increase in service charges on deposits accounts, servicing fees and realized gains on the sale of the guaranteed portion of government guaranteed loans.  It has been the Company’s policy to sell securities due in one year if the gain will result in higher income after reinvesting the proceeds.

Non-Interest Expense

Non-interest expense represents salaries, occupancy expenses, professional expenses, outside services and other miscellaneous expenses necessary to conduct business.  Non-interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2006 totaled $1,830,000 compared to $1,545,000 for the same period in 2005 for an increase of 18.45%.  Non-interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2006 totaled $3,600,000 compared to $3,036,000 for the same period in 2005 for an increase of 18.58%.  The increase is primarily due to an overall rise in salary and benefit expenses and an increase in promotional expenses.  The number of fulltime equivalent employees necessary to provide superior customer service was 69.2 in June 2006 as compared to 60.8 in June 2005.  The continuing growth of the Bank’s government guaranteed lending department specializing in Small Business Administration lending programs, and the overall expansion of the Bank’s customer base also contribute to the increase.

Income Taxes

The Company recorded a $217,000 tax provision during the three months ended June 30, 2006 compared to $282,000 during the same period in 2005.  The Company recorded a $436,000 tax provision for the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to $458,000 during the same period in 2005. The decrease in the tax provisions, despite the steady to increasing income for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2006, is a result of a timing issue regarding the Bancorp’s tax adjustment for the tax benefit it provides the Bank.  In 2006, this adjustment has been performed on a quarterly basis where as in 2005 the provision was made at the end of the year.

Asset Quality

As of June 30, 2006 the Company had no loans on non-accrual and no loans 90 day past due and still accruing. As of June 30, 2005, the Company had one loan on non-accrual and no loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing.  As of December 31, 2005 the company had one loan on non-accrual of $15,185.63 and no loans 90 days past due and still accruing.

As of June 30, 2006 and 2005 the Company had no OREO or restructured loans.

Provision for Loan Losses

Management of the Bank and the Bancorp believes that the allowance for loan losses is adequate.  The Bank has established a monitoring system for loans in order to identify impaired loans and potential problem loans and to permit periodic evaluation of impairment and adequacy of the allowance for loan losses in a timely manner.  The monitoring system and allowance for loan losses methodology have evolved over a period of years, and loan classifications have been incorporated into the determination of the allowance for loan losses.  This monitoring system and allowance methodology includes a loan-by-loan analysis for all classified loans as well as loss factors for the balance of the unclassified portfolio.  Classified loans are reviewed individually to estimate the amount of probable losses that needs to be included in the allowance.  These reviews include analysis of financial information as well as evaluation of collateral securing the credit.  Loss factors on the unclassified portion of the portfolio are based on such factors as historical loss experience, current portfolio delinquency and trends, and other inherent risk factors such as economic conditions, concentrations in the portfolio, risk levels of particular loan categories, internal loan review and management oversight.

The Company made a $60,000 contribution to the allowance for loan losses for the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to no contribution having been made in the same period in 2005.  Management believes that the allowance, which equals 0.89% of gross loans at June 30, 2006, is adequate to cover future losses.  The allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2005 was 0.88% of gross loans.

Capital Resources

Stockholders’ equity at June 30, 2006 was $11.992 million, compared to $11.243 million at December 31, 2005.  Stockholders’ equity increased primarily from net income of $653,000.

The Company is required to meet certain minimum risk-based capital guidelines and leverage ratios set by the bank regulatory authorities. The risk-based capital standards establish capital requirements that are more sensitive to risk differences between various assets, consider off balance sheet activities in assessing capital adequacy, and minimize the disincentives to holding liquid, low risk assets.  The leverage ratio consists of tangible Tier 1 capital divided by average total assets.

Both Coast Bancorp and the Bank maintain capital ratios above the Federal regulatory guidelines for “well-capitalized” bank holding companies.  The ratios for the Bank are as follows:

Liquidity

The objective of the Company’s asset/liability strategy is to manage liquidity and interest rate risk.  Ultimately, management seeks to monitor the safety and soundness of the Bank and its capital base, while maintaining adequate net interest margins and spreads to provide an appropriate return to the stockholders.

Management is not aware of any future capital expenditures or other significant demands on commitments which would severely impair liquidity.

Item 3.  Controls and Procedures

Based on their evaluation as of June 30, 2006 of the filing of this Form-10QSB, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.  There have been no significant changes in the Company’s internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect those controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation.
