          “Our second quarter, 2008, financial results reflect the continued strength of our core earning assets and our commitment to maintain the allowance for loan losses at a prudent level.” stated Tom McGraw, Chief Executive Officer. During the second quarter of 2008, management recorded a provision for loan losses of $300,000 compared to $180,000 for the same period in 2007. For all of 2008, the provision for loan losses was $1,290,000, an increase of $960,000 when compared to 2007 levels. During 2008, our assets have grown by $14,685,000 or approximately 2% since December 31, 2007. Total deposits have increased by $8,221,000 or approximately 2% during 2008.

          “The increase in our deposit levels during 2008 reflects our ability to continue to attract and maintain new deposit accounts at realistic interest rates without placing an inappropriate reliance on outside borrowings or brokered deposits. The current economic downturn, problems in the mortgage and credit markets, rumors regarding the health of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac coupled with increases in food and energy costs are constant reminders that we live in uncertain times. Management and the board of directors are committed to providing our customers a safe, friendly and convenient banking experience. We will continue to provide loans and credit to our customers in our local communities and develop deposit products and services that our customers need. Our latest not-for-profit deposit products are a good example of our innovative approach to banking.” added Tom McGraw. During 2008, the Company has had to grapple with a declining interest rate environment.

          “Between June 30, 2007 and 2008, the Federal Open Market Committee of the Federal Reserve Bank has driven down the intended federal funds rate from 5.25% to 2.00%. As a result, our taxable equivalent net interest margin has decreased to 4.79% during the first six months of 2008 from 5.24% for the same period in 2007. In addition, we have bolstered our allowance for loan losses to 1.17% of our gross loan portfolio as of June 30, 2008, compared to 1.14% as of December 31, 2007. We have not invested in sub-prime mortgage investments, and management believes the quality of our earning assets is good. We have experienced loan charge-offs during 2008 that are higher than we have become accustomed to, but these charge-offs were related to problems that were customer specific. As of June 30, 2008, the Bank owned two single family residences and one parcel of land that were acquired through foreclosure. We expect to be able to market and sell these properties in an orderly fashion at market rates within a reasonable period of time.” stated Tom McGraw.

          The Bank is well capitalized, with a seasoned management team and board of directors that has worked through difficult economic times before. For over forty-five years First National Bank of Northern California has been dedicated to providing our customers, our communities, and our shareholders the financial products and services they need.
