PREMIER COMMERCIAL BANCORP

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

September 30, 2006

Note 1 Bases of Presentation:

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Premier Commercial Bancorp (the “Company”) and its subsidiary Premier Commercial Bank (the “Bank”) have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

In the opinion of management, all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company with respect to the interim consolidated financial statements and the results of its operations for the interim period ended September 30, 2006, have been included.  The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year.

Note 2 Loans and Related Allowance for Loan Losses:

A summary of loans as of September 30, 2006, and December 31, 2005, is as follows:

	(in thousands)
	30-Sep-06			31-Dec-05
Real estate - construction	$	13,906		$	19,461
Real estate - other	186,930			136,642
Commercial	29,448			27,468
Consumer	2,263			1,301
Gross Loans	232,547			184,872
Deferred loan fees	(54		)	(683		)
Allowance for loan losses	(2,839		)	(1,890		)
Net Loans	$	229,654		$	182,299

The Bank’s loan portfolios consist primarily of loans to borrowers within the Orange and Los Angeles Counties, California.  Although the Bank seeks to avoid concentrations of loans to a single industry or based upon a single class of collateral, real estate and real estate associated businesses are among the principal industries in the Bank’s market areas.  As a result, the Bank’s loan and collateral portfolios are, to some degree, concentrated in those industries.  When real estate is taken as collateral, advances are generally limited to a certain percentage of the appraised value of the collateral at the time the loan is made, depending on the type of loan, the underlying property and other factors.

The Bank’s Allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans was 1.22% as of September 30, 2006, and 1.02% as of December 31, 2005.  Management believes that the Allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2006, is adequate based upon its analysis of the loan portfolio and the methodologies used for this purpose.

7

Concentration of Credit Risk.  As of September 30, 2006, real estate served as the principal source of collateral with respect to approximately 86.4% of our loan portfolio, of which, 80.4% is considered commercial real estate (CRE).  Within the makeup of our CRE, approximately 63.8% of our commercial term loans are granted for owner use, which is repaid from the cash flow of the owner’s business.  We believe that this factor coupled with the diversification of business types, location, conservative underwriting and loss history further mitigates the risk in our CRE portfolio.  The Bank targets commercial term loans for owners use as it supports the local business economy.  The Bank believes that owner occupied properties do not carry the same risk as commercial strip centers and other income properties with higher vacancy factors that rely on third parties for repayment.

A decline in current economic conditions or rising interest rates could have an adverse effect on the demand for new loans, the ability of borrowers to repay outstanding loans, the value of real estate and other collateral securing loans and the value of real estate owned by us, as well as our financial condition and results of operations in general.

Note 3 Commitments and Contingencies

The Bank’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those commitments.  Commitments to extend credit (such as the unfunded portion on lines of credit and commitments to fund new loans) as of September 30, 2006, and September 30, 2005, amounts to approximately $51.088 million and $30.415 million respectively, of which approximately $1.382 million and $1.336 million are related to standby letters of credit, respectively.  The Bank uses the same credit policies in these commitments as for all of its lending activities.  As such, the credit risk involved in these transactions is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers.

Because of the nature of its activities, the Company and Bank are from time to time subject to pending and threatened legal actions, which arise out of the normal course of their business.  In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

Note 4 Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share are based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding before any dilution from common stock equivalents.  Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shares in the earnings of the entity.

Used in Diluted EPS	$	227	2,491,953	$	1,174	2,232,966

Note 5 Stock Based Compensation

On January 1, 2006, the Company implemented Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 123(R), “Share-Based Payments” (“SFAS123R”) which replaced SFAS 123 and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25 and the related implementation guidance. SFAS 123R addresses accounting for equity-based compensation arrangements, including employee stock options. 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 are outstanding at December 31, 2005 is 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.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, the Company recognized no stock-based compensation as a result of adopting SFAS 123R, since there were no significant unvested options outstanding at January 1, 2006.  Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R, the Company accounted for stock-based compensation using the intrinsic method in accordance with APB Opinion 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.”  The following table illustrates the effect on the nine months ended September 30, 2005, net income and earnings per share if the Company had applied the fair value provisions of SFAS 123:

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW

General

Premier Commercial Bancorp (the “Company”) (OTC Bulletin Board PCBP.OB) is a California corporation organized in 2004 to act as the holding company for Premier Commercial Bank (the “Bank”), a bank serving Orange and Los Angeles Counties.  Effective June 25, 2004, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stocks of the Bank in a holding company formation transaction.

The Company reported improved financial results driven by the ongoing economic strength in its market areas.  Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2006, decreased 63.3% to $227 thousand compared to $619 thousand for the comparable period in 2005.  Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, decreased 0.9% to $1.174 million compared to $1.185 million for the comparable period in 2005.  The asset sensitivity of the balance sheet, loan growth, a 3.66% increase in the net interest margin over the comparable quarters, off-set by start-up costs for the new Bank in Mesa, Arizona, were all factors contributing to the growth in earnings.

Non-interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2006 decreased 50.5% to $570 thousand compared to $1.151 million for the comparable period in 2005.  Non-interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, decreased 22.6% to $2.127 million compared to $2.748 million for the comparable period in 2005.

Non-interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2006, increased by 34.5% or $762 thousand to $2.972 million compared to the same period in 2005.  Non-interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, increased by 43.4% or $2.595 million to $8.577 million compared to the same period in 2005.  Expense increases were primarily attributed to increases in salary and employee benefits, as well as start-up expenses associated with the new Bank in Mesa, Arizona.

11

Net loans increased $47.4 million or 26.0% during the nine months ending September 30, 2006, compared to an increase of $71.947 million or 74.2% during the same period in 2005.  Real Estate loans increased $44.733 million and Commercial loans decreased $1.980 million during the first nine months of 2006.

Deposits increased $15.0 million or 5.9% during the first nine months of 2006 compared to an increase of $72.1 million or 48.0% during the same period in 2005.  Non-interest bearing demand deposits decreased $22.6 million while interest bearing deposits grew $37.5 million during the nine month period ending September 30, 2006.  The increase in TCD’s was primarily due to the increase in interest rates.

KEY FACTORS IN EVALUATING FINANCIAL CONDITION AND OPREATING PERFORMANCE

As a publicly traded community bank holding company, we focus on several key factors including:

·Return to our shareholders

·Return on average assets

·Asset quality

·Asset growth

·Operating efficiency

Return to our shareholders.  Our return to our shareholders is measured in the form of return on average equity, or ROE.  Our net income decreased 63.3%, to $227 thousand for the quarter ended September 30, 2006, from $619 thousand for the same period in 2005.  Net income decreased 0.9% to $1.174 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 from $1.185 million for the same period in 2005.  Improvement in the Company’s net interest margin, loan growth of 26.0%, general asset sensitivity of our balance sheet, off-set by start-up expenses for the new Bank in Mesa, Arizona, were all factors contributing to the decrease in earnings.  Basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) for the quarter ended September 30, 2006, were $0.10, and $0.09 down from $0.34 and $0.30 for the quarter ended September 30, 2005.  Basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 were $0.60, and $0.53 down from $0.65 and $0.57 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005.  The marginal decrease in EPS was a direct result of the $11.0 thousand or 0.9% decrease in net income.  ROE for the quarter ending September 30, 2006, increased to 4.19% compared to 22.27% for the same period in 2005.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and September 30, 2005, the ROE was 10.19% and 21.96%, respectively.

Return on Average Assets.  Our return on average assets, or ROA, is a measure we use to compare our performance with other bank’s and bank holding companies.  ROA for the quarter ended September 30, 2006, was 0.31% compared to 1.09% for the same period in 2005.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, and September 30, 2005, the ROA was 0.58% and 1.21%, respectively.

Asset Quality.  For all banks and bank holding companies, asset quality has a significant impact on overall financial condition and results of operations.  Asset quality is measured in terms of non-performing loans and assets as a percentage of total assets and net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans. These measures are key elements in estimating the future earnings of a company.  Non-performing loans totaled $118 thousand at September 30, 2006, compared to $0 at December 31, 2005, and $0 at September 30, 2005.  Non-performing loans as a percentage of total loans increased to 0.05% as of September 30, 2006, compared to 0% at December 31, 2005, and 0% as of September 30, 2005.  Net charge-offs to average loans were 0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, and December 31, 2005.

Asset Growth.  As revenues from both net interest income and non-interest income are a function of asset size, the continued growth in assets has a direct impact on increasing net income and EPS.  The majority of our assets are loans, and the majority of our liabilities are deposits, therefore the ability to generate loans and deposits are fundamental to our asset growth.  Total assets increased 13.9% to $317.078 million as of September 30, 2006, from $278.397 million as of December 31, 2005, and $242.184 million or 30.92% as of September 30, 2005.  Total deposits increased to $296.635 million as of September 30, 2006, compared to $254.655 million or 15.9% as of December 31, 2005, and from $222.056 million or 21.43% as of September 30, 2005.  Gross loans increased to $232.493 million as of September 30, 2006, compared to $184.189 million or 26.23% as of December 31, 2005, and $170.652 million or 36.24% as of September 30, 2005.

Operating Efficiency.  Operating efficiency is the measure of how efficiently earnings before taxes are generated as a percentage of revenue.  Our efficiency ratio increased (deteriorated) slightly to 74.9% for the first nine months of 2006 compared to 71.2% for the same period in 2005, due to the increase in operating expenses, primary start-up expenses for the new Bank in Mesa, Arizona, which kept pace with the increase in revenue.  Net interest income before provision increased 64.7% to $9.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, while operating expenses increased 43.4% to $8.6 million.

Economic Conditions

Current economic data, including financial data and earnings reports of other community banks located in Southern California suggests that the local economy is stable.  Based on local economic indicators, management believes the economy will continue to remain stable during the remainder of 2006, with a moderate increase in interest rates.  The Bank believes that it will continue to demonstrate growth in both deposits and loans during the remainder of 2006.

The following sections set forth a discussion of the significant operating changes, business trends, financial condition, earnings, capital position and liquidity that occurred, in the three months ended September 30, 2006, compared with the three months ended September 30, 2005, and the nine months ended September 30, 2006, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2005, together with an assessment, when considered appropriate, of external factors that may affect the Company in the future.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net Income

Net income of $227 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2006, reflects a $392 thousand or 63.3% decrease over the like period in 2005.  Net income of $1.174 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, reflects an $11 thousand or 0.9% decrease over the like period in 2005.  The decrease in net income and profitability for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, was due primarily to the increase in net interest income, partially offset by a decrease in noninterest income and an increase in other operating expense, primary related to start-up cost for a new bank in Mesa, Arizona.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income is the Company’s largest source of operating income and is derived from interest and fees received on interest earning assets, less interest expense incurred on interest bearing liabilities.  The most significant impact on the Company’s net interest between periods is derived from the interaction of changes in the volume of and rates earned or paid on interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities.  The volume of loans, investment securities and other interest earning assets, compared to the volume of interest bearing deposits and indebtedness, combined with the spread, produces changes in the net interest income between periods.

The following table presents for the periods indicated, condensed average balance sheet information for the Company, together with interest income and yields earned on average interest earnings assets, as well as interest expense and rates paid on average interest bearing liabilities.

Net interest income increased 37.4% for the quarter ended September 30, 2006, and 64.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, as compared to the same periods in 2005, as interest earned on higher loan volumes coupled with increases in the prime lending rate, outweighed the effect of a higher cost of funds.  The yield on interest-earning assets increased to 7.3% for the current quarter, as compared to 7.8% in the immediately preceding quarter and 5.9% a year ago.  The cost of total interest-bearing liabilities increased to 4.2% for the current quarter, as compared to 3.8% in the immediately preceding quarter and 2.7% a year ago.

Net interest margin for the three months ended September 30, 2006, was 4.53% compared to 4.37% for the three months ended 2005.  This represents an increase of 16 basis points or 3.7%.  Net interest margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, was 4.83% compared to 4.2% for the nine months ended 2005.  This represents an increase of 63 basis points or 15.9%.  This increase was primarily due to the increase in the prime lending rate coupled with the change in the mix of earning assets.  The table below indicates a decrease in the investment portfolio from 18.2% of average earning assets as of September 30, 2005, to 10.8% as of September 30, 2006.  The table also indicates an increase in the loan portfolio from 71.0% of average earning assets as of September 30, 2005, to 81.9% as of September 30, 2006:

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income for the three months ended September 30, 2006, was $570 thousand compared to $1.151 million for the same period in 2005.  Noninterest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, was $2.127 million compared to $2.748 million for the same period in 2005.  That represents a decrease of $621 thousand or -22.6%.

Service charges fee and other noninterest income for the three months ended September 30, 2006, was $92 thousand compared to $78 thousand for the same period in 2005.  Other noninterest income for the six months ended September 30, 2006 was $215 thousand compared to $196 thousand for the same period in 2005.  That represents an increase of $19 thousand or 9.7%.

Operating Expenses

Salary and employee benefits for the three months ended September 30, 2006, totaled $1.661 million, which reflects an increase of $740 thousand or 80.3% over the like period in 2005.  Salary and employee benefits for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, totaled $4.550 million, which reflects an increase of $1.743 million or 62.1% over the like period in 2005.  This increase is attributed to significant staff increases, coupled with an increase in commission based compensation, and an increase in benefit and other personnel expenditures related to the new Bank in Mesa, Arizona.

Occupancy expense for the three months ended September 30, 2006 totaled $110 thousand, which reflects an increase of $21 thousand or 23.6% over the same period in 2005.  Occupancy expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, totaled $319 thousand, which reflects an increase of $58 thousand or 22.2% over the same period in 2005.  This was primarily due to an increase in rental expenses related to additional office space and an increase in premises depreciation expenses.

Equipment expense for the three months ended September 30, 2006, totaled $73 thousand, which reflects an increase of $7 thousand or 10.6% over the same period in 2005.  Equipment expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, totaled $222 thousand, which reflects an increase of $36 thousand or 19.4% over the same period in 2005.  This was primarily due to an increase in depreciation and maintenance expense related to the acquisition of new IT equipment.

Professional services for the three months ended September 30, 2006, totaled $164 thousand, which reflects an increase of $47 thousand or 40.2% over the same period in 2005.  Professional services for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, totaled $455 thousand, which reflects an increase of $154 thousand or 51.2% over the same period in 2005.  This was primarily due to the increased scope and coverage of the Company’s consulting and third party audit assignments as well as other professional services related to the new Bank in Mesa, Arizona.

Data processing expense for the three months ended September 30, 2006, totaled $86 thousand, which reflects an increase of $8 thousand or 10.3% from the same period in 2005.  Data processing expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, totaled $255 thousand, which reflects an increase of $31 thousand or 13.8% from the same period in 2005.  This was primarily due to an increase in core processing fees coupled with the continued growth of the Bank.

Office related expense for the three months ended September 30, 2006, totaled $193 thousand, which reflects an increase of $44 thousand or 29.5% over the same period in 2005.  Office related expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, totaled $488 thousand, which reflects an increase of $78 thousand or 19.0% over the same period in 2005.  This was primarily due to an increase in telephone expense and courier expenses coupled with an increase in stationary and supplies due to the continued growth of the Bank and the new Bank in Mesa, Arizona.

Other expense for the three months ended September 30, 2006, totaled $525 thousand, which reflects an increase of $164 thousand or 45.4% over the same period in 2005.  Other expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, totaled $1.534 million, which reflects an increase of $884 thousand or 136% over the same period in 2005.  This increase represents an increase in several expense accounts such as travel and entertainment, third-party fees, Fed transaction fees due to the continued growth of the Bank, coupled with a portion of organizational expense related to the opening of the new Bank in Mesa, Arizona.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The Bank made additions of $1.0 million to its allowance for loan losses during the nine month period ended September 30, 2006.  The Bank evaluates the allowance for possible loan losses based upon an individual analysis of specific categories of loans, specific categories of classified loans and individual classified assets.  The adequacy of the allowance is determinable only on an approximate basis, since estimates as to the magnitude and timing of loan losses are not predictable because of the impact of external events.  Based on the analysis performed by the Bank and its outside loan review firm, both believe that the allowance for loan loss at September 30, 2006 is adequate.  The allowance on that date was 1.22% of total loans, compared to 1.02% at December 31, 2005, and 1.02% at September 30, 2005.

Nonaccrual Loans

The Bank had one nonaccrual loan totaling $118 thousand as of September 30, 2006, compared to no nonaccrual loans at September 30, 2005.  Due to the strength of our guarantor, no loss is anticipated at this time.

OREO

The Bank currently has no OREO property on its books.

Trust Preferred Securities

Effective September 30, 2006, the Company issued a series of­ trust preferred securities in the amount of $3 million.  Of these $3 million, the Company contributed $1.5 million to the Bank and retained $1.5 million at the holding company level.  In addition, the Company issued $9.0 million of these securities in prior issuances. These securities are classified as long term debt on the balance sheet

Total shareholders’ equity at September 30, 2006, totaled $31.114 million compared to $12.177 million at December 31, 2005, for an increase of $18.957 million or 155.5.3%.  This increase is due to a supplemental offering on July 17, 2006, that raised $17.5 million, net of costs, an increase in net income of $1.174 thousand, an increase in the market value of the investment portfolio of $111 thousand, and change in market value on Cash Flow Hedges of $1 thousand.

The Company maintains the Tier I Capital (to Average Assets) and Tier I Capital (to Risk Weighted Assets) capital ratios above the Federal regulatory guidelines for a “well-capitalized” bank. The Company maintains the Total Capital (to Average Assets) capital ratio slightly below the Federal regulatory guidelines for a “well-capitalized” bank. The ratios are as follows:

	Regulatory
	Minimum Ratio
	For		Regulatory		Sep.		Dec.
	“Well-Capitalized”		Minimum Ratio		2006		2005
Tier I Capital (to Average Assets)	5.00	%	4.00	%	11.5	%	6.8	%
Tier I Capital (to Risk Weighted Assets)	6.00	%	4.00	%	11.0		7.2	%
Total Capital (to Risk Weighted Assets)	10.00	%	8.00	%	12.1	%	10.2	%

On July 17, 2006, the Company completed a supplemental stock offering, that led to the significant increased of the Tier I Capital ratio by 470 basis points to 11.5% and the Total Capital to Risk Weighted Assets ratio by 190 basis points to 11.01%.

Liquidity

Liquidity management involves our ability to meet cash flow requirements arising from fluctuations in deposit levels and demands of daily operations, which include funding of securities purchases, providing for customers’ credit needs and ongoing repayment of borrowings.  Our liquidity is actively managed on a daily basis and reviewed periodically by our ALCO Committee and Board of Directors.  This process is intended to ensure the maintenance of sufficient funds to meet our needs, including adequate cash flow for off-balance sheet instruments.

Our primary sources of liquidity are derived from financing activities that include the acceptance of customer deposits, federal fund purchase lines and a Federal Home Loan Bank advance line.  The Bank currently has two federal fund lines totaling $11.0 million, a revolving line of credit with one of its correspondent banks totaling $2.0 million, and two credit lines with FHLB totaling $86.023 million.  There were no advances against these lines as of September 30, 2006.

Interest Rate Sensitivity

The Bank closely follows the maturities and repricing opportunities of both assets and liabilities to reduce gaps in interest spreads.  An analysis is performed quarterly to determine the various interest sensitivity gaps, the economic value of equity and earnings at risk.  The reports indicate that the Bank is asset sensitive, meaning that when interest rates change, assets (loans) will reprice faster than short-term liabilities (deposits).  Therefore, higher interest rates improve short-term profits and lower rates decrease short-term profits.

The asset liability reports as of September 30, 2006, indicate that the Bank has an actual dollar risk exposure of $1.221 million if interest rates fall 100 basis points.  This represents a -8.4% risk to interest income.  The Economic Value of Equity is 9.5% at zero basis points and 9.3% at a negative 100 basis points.

Assumptions are inherently uncertain and, consequently, the model cannot precisely measure net interest income or precisely predict the impact of changes in interest rates on net interest income.  Actual results will differ from simulated results due to timing, magnitude and frequency of interest rate changes, as well as changes in market conditions and management strategy.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Off-balance sheet arrangements are any contractual arrangement to which an unconsolidated entity is a party, under which the Company has: (1) any obligation under a guarantee contract; (2) a retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity or similar arrangement that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support to that entity for such assets; (3) any obligation under certain derivative instruments; or (4) any obligation under a material variable interest held by the Company in an unconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity, market risk or credit risk support to the Company, or engages in leasing, hedging or research and development services with the Company.

In the ordinary course of business, the Bank has entered into off-balance sheet financial instruments consisting of commitments to extend credit, commercial letters of credit, and standby letters of credit, and interest rate hedges (cash flow hedges and fair value hedges). Such financial instruments are recorded in the financial statement when they are funded or related fees are incurred or received.

Critical Accounting Policies

This discussion should be read in conjunction with the unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company, including the notes thereto, and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and audited financial statements.

Our accounting policies are integral to understanding the results reported.  Our most complex accounting policies require management’s judgment to ascertain the valuation of assets, liabilities, commitments and contingencies.  We have established detailed policies and control procedures that are intended to ensure valuation methods are well controlled and applied consistently from period to period.  In addition, the policies and procedures are intended to ensure that the process for changing methodologies occurs in an appropriate manner.  The following is a brief description of our current accounting policies involving significant management valuation judgments.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of certain assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of certain revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan 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 provision for loan losses is determined based on management’s assessment of several factors: reviews and evaluation of specific 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, the level of classified and nonperforming loans and the results of regulatory examinations.

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.

22

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.

Deferred Tax Assets

We use an estimate of future earnings to support our position that the benefit of our deferred tax assets will be realized. If future income should prove non-existent or less than the amount of the deferred tax assets within the tax years to which they may be applied, the asset may not be realized and our net income will be reduced.

Loan Referral Fees

The Company has loan referral programs with several regional banks. Under these programs, the Company solicits and underwrites loans and then refers the completed loan file to a participating regional bank for final approval and funding. The Company recognizes loan referral fees into income upon funding of the loan by the regional bank. The participating regional banks establish the underwriting criteria for the loans and the Company has no recourse liability on these loans other than normal industry provisions for fraud by the Company.

The Company selects loans for inclusion in the loan referral program that it does not want to fund internally based on several factors. Generally loans are not funded internally if they are long term fixed rate loans, exceed the Company’s loan limits, pose unusual risk factors, are geographically out of the Company’s primary service area, do not include other beneficial banking arrangements or if they would negatively impact the Company’s capital ratios, interest rate risk or concentrations of certain loan types.

Gain on Sale of Loans

To calculate the gain (loss) on sale of loans, Premier Commercial Bancorp’s investment in the loan is allocated among the retained portion of the loan, the servicing retained, the interest-only strip and the sold portion of the loan, based on the relative fair market value of each portion. The gain (loss) on the sold portion of the loan is recognized at the time of sale based on the difference between the sale proceeds and the allocated investment. As a result of the relative fair value allocation, the carrying value of the retained portion is discounted, with the discount accreted to interest income over the life of the loan. That portion of the excess servicing fees that represent contractually specified servicing fees (contractual servicing) are reflected as a servicing asset which is amortized over an estimated life using a method approximating the level yield method; in the event future prepayments exceed management’s estimates and future expected cash flows are inadequate to cover the unamortized servicing asset, additional amortization would be recognized. The portion of excess servicing fees in excess of the contractual servicing fees is reflected as interest-only (I/0) strips receivable, which are classified as interest-only strips receivable available for sale and are carried at fair value.

ITEM 3 – CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

As of the end of the period covered by this report, management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures with respect to the information generated for use in this Quarterly Report.  Based upon, and as of the date of that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the disclosures controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurances that information required to be disclosed in the reports 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 SEC’s rules and forms.

There was no change in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2006, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.

In designing and evaluating disclosure controls and procedures, the Company’s management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurances of achieving the desired control objectives and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
