During the first six months of 2009, assets grew by $871,000 or less than 1% above December 31, 2008 levels. Total deposits increased by $37,568,000 or approximately 7% during this same time period. Over the last six months we have decreased our FHLB borrowings by $46,100,000 in an effort to place increased emphasis on developing long-term deposit relationships. Our deposit growth during the first six months of 2009 has been very strong, allowing us to repay over $46 million in Federal Home Loan Bank advances. The current rate environment of very low short term rates has negatively affected our taxable equivalent net interest margin, which has decreased to 4.21% during the second quarter of 2009, compared with 4.38% for the same period in 2008. Our quarterly net interest income decreased by $535,000 year over year. “During the second quarter of 2009, we added $760,000 into our provision for loan losses in order to increase our allowance for loan losses to $9,095,000 or 1.83% of gross loans. This action was taken to insure that reserves were sufficient to absorb any future losses that may occur in our lending portfolio. Management believes that the negative effects of the current recession are now fully reflected in our reserves, and we believe that increases in our provision for the remainder of 2009 will be significantly lower than the provision recorded during the first half of the year,” stated Tom McGraw, CEO.

“We are working very hard to insure our loan customers have the credit they need as they move their business plans forward. Our Money Market Maximizer accounts has been very well received by our deposit customers, adding to the growth of our deposits. We are highly liquid and remain “well capitalized” by regulatory standards. We continue to look for new business opportunities, both in our current marketplace, and in the surrounding Bay Area. The strength of our balance sheet will allow us to grow our banking franchise in a safe and sound manner well into the future, during a time when others may be required to sell assets and shrink their institutions to the detriment of their shareholders,” continued Mr. McGraw.

“Management has had to make some painful decisions during the first six months of 2009. We believe these decisions have paved the way for the Bank to not only survive this recession, but to emerge ready to attract new customers, continue to grow the franchise, and to provide a solid investment to our shareholders,” stated Mr. McGraw.
