This quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements about the Company for which it claims the protection of the safe harbor provisions contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including statements with regard to descriptions of our plans or objectives for future operations, products or services, and forecasts of our financial condition and results of operation or other measures of economic performance. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. They often include the words "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "intend," "plan," "estimate," or words of similar meaning, or future or conditional verbs such as "will," "would," "should," "could," or "may."
Forward-looking statements, by their nature, are subject to risks and uncertainties. A number of factors -- many of which are beyond our control or ability to predict-- could cause actual conditions, events or results to differ significantly from those described in the forward-looking statements and reported results should not be considered an indication of our future performance. Some of these risk factors include, but are not limited to, certain credit, market, operational and liquidity risks associated with our business and operations, changes in business and economic conditions in California and nationally, changes in the interest rate environment, potential acts of terrorism and actions taken in response, volatility of rate sensitive deposits and assets, value of real estate collateral securing many of our loans, accounting estimates and judgments, compliance costs associated with the Companys internal control structur e and procedures for financial reporting, changes in the securities markets, and inflationary factors. These risk factors are not exhaustive and additional factors that could have an adverse effect on our business and financial performance are set forth under Risk Factors and elsewhere in this quarterly report and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005.
Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. We do not undertake to update forward-looking statements to reflect circumstances or events that occur after the date forward-looking statements are made. In addition, past operating results are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for future periods.

SAN JOAQUIN BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of September 30, 2006 (Unaudited)
NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING AND REPORTING POLICIES
The consolidated financial statements include San Joaquin Bancorp (the "Bancorp"), and its wholly owned subsidiary, San Joaquin Bank (the "Bank") (collectively the "Company"). All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. San Joaquin Bancorp Trust #1, (the Trust) is a variable interest entity wholly owned by San Joaquin Bancorp. Based on the requirements of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation (FIN) 46R and accepted industry interpretation and presentation, the Trust has not been consolidated.
San Joaquin Bancorp is a bank holding company, incorporated in the state of California, for the purpose of acquiring all the capital stock of the Bank through a holding company reorganization (the Reorganization) of the Bank. The Reorganization was effective at the close of business July 31, 2006. All financial information presented in these financial statements includes the operations of the Bank year-to-date and on a comparative basis in prior years.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required for audited financial statements. In the opinion of Management, the unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the Companys consolidated financial position at September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the results of operations for the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, and cash flows for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005.
These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto as well as other information included in the Banks Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005. The results of operations for the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 may not necessarily be indicative of the operating results for the full year.
In preparing such financial statements in connection with certain accounting policies, Management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and revenues and expenses and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant changes in the near term relate to the allowance for loan losses.
Cash dividend Prior to the Reorganization, the Board of Directors of the Bank declared a cash dividend of $0.24 per share, which was payable to shareholders of record as of February 27, 2006.
There are 20,000,000 shares of common stock, no par value, authorized. There were 3,479,722 and 3,435,896 shares issued and outstanding at September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively. The Company also has 5,000,000 authorized shares of preferred stock, with 0 shares outstanding.
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
New Accounting Standard |
On July 13, 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Interpretation 48 (FIN 48), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes: an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (the "Interpretation"). FIN 48 clarifies SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, to indicate a criterion that an individual tax position would have to meet for some or all of the income tax benefit to be recognized in a taxable entitys financial statements. Under the guidelines of the Interpretation, an entity should recognize the financial statement benefit of a tax position if it determines that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on examination. The term more likely than not means a likelihood of more than 50 percent. In assessing whether the more-likely-than-not criterion is met, the entity should assume that the tax position will be reviewed by the applicable taxing authority .
4
FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The cumulative effect of applying FIN 48 should be reported as an adjustment to retained earnings at the beginning of the period in which the Interpretation is adopted. The Company plans to adopt the new interpretation in 2007. The Company has not yet reviewed FIN 48 to determine the potential impact on the financial statements. The Company plans to evaluate the impact and disclose any material effect, if any, prior to the effective date of implementation.
NOTE 2. STOCK COMPENSATION |
Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company accounted for its stock-based awards using the intrinsic value method in accordance with Accounting Principles Bulletin ("APB") Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and its related interpretations. No compensation expense was recognized in the financial statements for employee stock arrangements, as the Companys stock option plans provide for the issuance of options at a price of no less than the fair market value at the date of the grant. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, requires the disclosure of pro forma net income and earnings per share, had the Company adopted the fair value method of accounting for stock-based compensation. Under SFAS No. 123, the fair value of stock-based awards to employees is calculated through the use of option pricing models, even though such models were developed to e stimate the fair value of freely tradable, fully transferable options without vesting restrictions, which significantly differs from the Companys stock option awards. These models also require subjective assumptions, including future stock price volatility, future dividends, and expected time to exercise, which greatly affect the calculated values. The Companys calculations were made using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: approximate expected volatility of 29.04%, risk free interest rate of 4.35%, dividend yield of 0.89%, and expected life of 7.87 years for options granted in the period ended September 30, 2005.
A summary of the pro forma effects to reported net income and earnings per share, as if the Company had elected to recognize compensation cost based on the fair value of the options granted at grant date as prescribed by SFAS No. 123, for the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2005:

|
| |||
Pro Forma Net Income | $ 1,642,000 | $ 4,645,000 | ||
|
| |||
Earnings per Share: | ||||
Basic -- as reported | $ 0.49 | $ 1.40 | ||
Basic -- pro forma | $ 0.48 | $ 1.35 | ||
Diluted -- as reported | $ 0.46 | $ 1.31 | ||
Diluted -- pro forma | $ 0.45 | $ 1.27 |
SFAS No. 123 was revised in December 2004 (SFAS 123R) to require that, effective for periods beginning after June 15, 2005, the Company begin using the fair market value method for valuing and accounting for stock options. On April 14, 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission announced the adoption of a new rule which delayed the implementation date for the new requirements until 2006.
5
Effective December 31, 2005, the Board of Directors voted to accelerate the vesting of all unvested options to acquire the Company's common stock that were outstanding at that date (the "Acceleration"), except that no options to non-employee directors were affected by the Acceleration. A total of 158,870 shares subject to option were impacted by the Acceleration. As a result of the Acceleration, and based upon estimated Black-Scholes value calculations, the Company will not be required to recognize pretax compensation expense related to the accelerated options of approximately $833,000. Had the Acceleration not occurred, the Company would have had to recognize this expense over the next five years when the Company became subject to the requirements of SFAS No. 123R, "Share-Based Payment," on January 1, 2006. Under applicable accounting guidance, the Company did not record a charge related to the Acceleration. As a result of the A cceleration, certain options granted to the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board, Bruce Maclin, President, Bart Hill, and two other highest paid executive officers (together the "Named Executive Officers") exceeded the $100,000 limit established by IRS regulation §1.422 -4. As such, the excess options granted to the Named Executive Officers must be treated as non-statutory options. All other terms and conditions of the accelerated options remained unchanged as a result of the Acceleration.
Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the new requirements of SFAS 123R on a prospective basis. As a result of the implementation, net income before taxes for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2006 was lower by approximately $40,000 and $104,000, respectively, than if it had continued to be accounted for as share-based compensation under Opinion 25.
NOTE 3. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES |
In the normal course of business, the Company has outstanding various commitments to extend credit which are not reflected in the financial statements, including loan commitments of approximately $213,085,000 and standby letters of credit of approximately $8,246,000, at September 30, 2006. However, all such commitments will not necessarily culminate in actual extensions of credit by the Company.
Approximately $98,698,000 of loan commitments outstanding at September 30, 2006 related to real estate loans. The remaining commitments primarily relate to revolving lines of credit or commercial loans or other unused commitments, and many of these commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon. Therefore, the total commitments do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Each potential borrower and the necessary collateral are evaluated on an individual basis. Collateral varies, but may include real property, bank deposits, debt or equity securities or business assets.
Stand-by letters of credit are commitments written to guarantee the performance of a customer to another party. These guarantees are issued primarily relating to purchases of inventory by commercial customers and are typically short-term in nature. Credit risk is similar to that involved in extending loan commitments to customers and accordingly, evaluation and collateral requirements similar to those for loan commitments are used. Virtually all such commitments are collateralized.
NOTE 4. EARNINGS PER SHARE |
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if options or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised and converted into common stock.
6
There was no difference in the numerator used in the calculation of basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share. The denominator used in the calculation of basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share for each of the three month and nine month periods ended September 30 is reconciled as follows:

The Company has adopted SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income. Comprehensive income is equal to net income plus the change in other comprehensive income, as defined by SFAS No. 130. This statement requires the Company to report income and (loss) from non-owner sources. The only components of other comprehensive income currently applicable to the Company is the net unrealized gain or loss on interest rate cap contracts and the net unrealized gain or loss on available for sale investment securities. FASB Statement No. 130 requires that an entity: (a) classify items of other comprehensive income by their nature in a financial statement, and (b) report the accumulated balance of other comprehensive income separately from common stock and retained earnings in the equity section of the balance sheet.
NOTE 6. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS |
The following events have occurred subsequent to our most recent fiscal year end:
Effective as of the close of business on July 31, 2006, San Joaquin Bank completed a plan of reorganization into a holding company structure. As a result of the reorganization, the Bank became a wholly-owned subsidiary of San Joaquin Bancorp, a California corporation. The Bancorp is a bank holding company pursuant to the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, and subject to the supervision and regulation of the Federal Reserve Board. For further information, see Recent Events discussion in Item 2.
On September 1, 2006, the Trust issued $10 million in trust preferred securities in a private placement and the Trust purchased $10,310,000 of the Company's junior subordinated notes. This transaction is reflected as long-term debt on the consolidated balance sheet. The Company made a capital injection into the Bank on September 12, 2006 in the amount of $9,700,000. The injection was recorded as capital surplus by the Bank. The trust preferred securities are
7
floating rate securities based upon the three-month LIBOR and are non-redeemable until September 30, 2011. They qualify as Tier I Capital under regulatory guidelines. For further information, see "Capital Resources" discussion in Item 2.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.
This quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements about the Company for which it claims the protection of the safe harbor provisions contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including statements with regard to descriptions of our plans or objectives for future operations, products or services, and forecasts of our financial condition and results of operation or other measures of economic performance. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. They often include the words "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "intend," "plan," "estimate," or words of similar meaning, or future or conditional verbs such as "will," "would," "should," "could," or "may."
Forward-looking statements, by their nature, are subject to risks and uncertainties. A number of factors -- many of which are beyond our control or ability to predict-- could cause actual conditions, events or results to differ significantly from those described in the forward-looking statements and reported results should not be considered an indication of our future performance. Some of these risk factors include, but are not limited to, certain credit, market, operational and liquidity risks associated with our business and operations, changes in business and economic conditions in California and nationally, changes in the interest rate environment, potential acts of terrorism and actions taken in response, volatility of rate sensitive deposits and assets, value of real estate collateral securing many of our loans, accounting estimates and judgments, compliance costs associated with the Companys internal control structur e and procedures for financial reporting, changes in the securities markets, and inflationary factors. These risk factors are not exhaustive and additional factors that could have an adverse effect on our business and financial performance are set forth under Risk Factors and elsewhere in this quarterly report and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005.
Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. We do not undertake to update forward-looking statements to reflect circumstances or events that occur after the date forward-looking statements are made. In addition, past operating results are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for future periods.
Recent Events Reorganization |
On May 9, 2006, the Bank, the Bancorp and San Joaquin Reorganization Corp., a California corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Bancorp (the "Reorganization Corp."), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization pursuant to which the Reorganization Corp. would be merged (the "Merger") with and into the Bank, with the Bank being the surviving corporation. Upon consummation of the Merger, the Bank would become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Bancorp and the shareholders of the Bank would receive one share of Bancorp common stock in exchange for each share of Bank common stock held by such shareholder.
At the Banks Annual Meeting of Shareholders on June 20, 2006, the Merger was approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Banks common stock. In addition, the Bank and the Bancorp received all required approvals to the consummation of the Merger and the reorganization from all applicable regulatory authorities.
The Agreement of Merger was filed with the Secretary of State of the State of California and the Merger became effective as of the close of business on July 31, 2006. As a result of the Merger, the Bank became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Bancorp and the one-for-one share exchange described above was completed. In addition, upon
8
consummation of the Merger, the Bancorp assumed all outstanding stock options of the Bank exercisable into shares of Bank common stock. Such stock options continue be subject to the same terms and conditions of such stock options immediately prior to the consummation of the Merger, except that such options are now exercisable for Bancorp common stock.
Prior to the Merger, the Bank's common stock was registered under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"). The Bank was subject to the information requirements of the Exchange Act and filed annual and quarterly reports, proxy statements and other information with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"). As a result of the Merger, the Bancorp became the successor to the Bank as provided in Rule 12g-3(a) under the Exchange Act and the Bancorp's common stock became registered under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act. The Bancorp will file future periodic reports, proxy statements, and other information under the Exchange Act with the SEC.
The directors and officers of the Bancorp following the Merger are the same directors and officers of the Bank, except that Bruce Maclin is Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, and Bart Hill is the President of the Bancorp. The directors and officers of the Bank following the Merger are the same directors and officers of the Bank as prior to the Merger. The Bank will continue to do business under the name of San Joaquin Bank.
Issuance of Trust Preferred Securities |
During August 2006, San Joaquin Bancorp formed San Joaquin Bancorp Trust #1, a Delaware statutory business trust, for the purpose of completing a private placement of $10 million in floating rate trust preferred securities. The placement was completed on September 1, 2006. $9,700,000 of the net proceeds from the issuance were invested in San Joaquin Bank to increase the Banks capital levels. The remainder will be used for general corporate purposes.
Under applicable regulatory guidelines, the trust preferred securities will qualify as Tier 1 Capital. For further information, see "Capital Resources" discussion in Item 2.
Federal Reserve Membership |
On October 12, 2006, San Joaquin Bank became a member of the Federal Reserve System. As a member bank, the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco assumed a primary federal regulatory oversight of the Bank.
Critical Accounting Policies |
General |
Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). The financial information contained within our statements is, to a significant extent, financial information that is based on measures of the financial effects of transactions and events that have already occurred. We use historical loss factors as one factor, among other factors, in determining the inherent loss that may be present in our loan portfolio. Actual losses could differ significantly from the historical and other factors that we use. Other estimates that we use are related to the expected useful lives of our depreciable assets. In addition, GAAP itself may change from one previously acceptable method to another method.
Allowance for Loan Losses |
The allowance for loan losses is an estimate of the losses that may be sustained in our loan portfolio. The allowance is based on two basic principles of accounting: (1) SFAS No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies, which requires that losses be accrued when they are probable of occurring and estimable, and (2) SFAS No. 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan, which requires that losses be accrued based on the differences between the value of collateral, present value of future cash flows or values that are observable in the secondary market and the loan balance.
Our allowance for loan losses has three basic components: the formula allowance, the specific allowance and the unallocated allowance. Each of these components is determined based upon estimates that can and do change when the actual events occur. The formula allowance uses historical losses as an indicator of future losses and, as a result, could
9
differ from the loss incurred in the future. However, since this history is updated with the most recent loss information, Management believes that errors, if any, that might otherwise occur are mitigated. The specific allowance uses various techniques to arrive at an estimate of the expected loss. Historical loss information and fair market value of collateral are used to estimate those losses. The use of these values is inherently subjective and our actual losses could be greater or less than the estimates. The unallocated allowance addresses losses that are attributable to various factors including economic events, industry or geographic sectors whose impact on the portfolio are believed to be probable, but have yet to be recognized in either the formula or specific allowances. For further information regarding our allowance for loan losses, see Allowance for Loan Losses discussion later in this item.
Stock Based Awards |
Prior to January 1, 2006, we accounted for our stock based awards using the intrinsic value method in accordance with Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations. All option grants under our stock option plans to date provide for the issuance of options at a price of no less than the fair market value at the date of the grant, therefore, no compensation expense was recognized in the financial statements. Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the new requirements of SFAS 123R on a prospective basis. See Note 2, "Stock Compensation," in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Overview |
San Joaquin Bancorp is a one-bank holding company subject to the regulatory oversight of the Federal Reserve System. San Joaquin Bank, which is an FDIC insured, California state-chartered bank and a member of the Federal Reserve System, is wholly owned by the Bancorp. The Bank commenced operations in December 1980 and is the oldest independent community bank headquartered in Bakersfield, Kern County, California. The Bank has four banking offices in Kern County, California. The Rosedale Branch located at 3800 Riverlakes Drive is owned by the Bank, as are the Stockdale Branch located at 4600 California Avenue and the Administrative Center located at 1000 Truxtun Avenue, all in Bakersfield, California. The Main Office at 1301 17th Street, Bakersfield, and the Delano Branch at 16 13 Inyo Street, Delano, are both leased facilities.
At September 30, 2006, we had total consolidated assets of $710,866,000 (an increase of 13.37% compared to year-end 2005), total consolidated deposits of $575,442,000 (a decrease of 0.02% over year-end 2005), total consolidated net loans of $497,347,000 (an increase of 24.21% compared to year-end 2005), and consolidated shareholders equity of $45,616,000 (an increase of 16.10% compared to year-end 2005).
We reported quarterly net income of $1,922,000 for the third quarter of 2006. Net income increased $231,000, or 13.66%, over the $1,691,000 reported in the third quarter of 2005. Diluted earnings per share were $0.52 for the third quarter of 2006 and $0.46 for the third quarter of 2005. For the third quarter of 2006, the annualized return on average equity (ROAE) and return on average assets (ROAA) were 17.01% and 1.11%, respectively, compared to 18.46% and 1.18%, respectively, for the same period in 2005. Net income for the first nine months of 2006 was $6,710,000. Net income increased $1,922,000, or 40.14%, over the $4,788,000 reported in the first nine months of 2005. Diluted earnings per share were $1.81 for the first nine months of 2006 and $1.31 for the same period in 2005. For the first nine months of 2006, the annualized return on average equity (ROAE) and return on average assets (ROAA) were 21.11% and 1.35%, respectivel y, as compared to 18.16% and 1.17%, respectively, for the same period in 2005. During the first nine months of 2006, we experienced steady growth in loans while, at the same time, we continued to maintain control over our overhead and other fixed expenses, which resulted in our continued earnings growth. The need for non-core funding continues to exist due to loan demand outpacing core deposit growth. Non-core funding consists of primarily Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") advances. At September 30, 2006, the Company had FHLB advances of $64,800,000, compared to $0 at December 31, 2005.
At September 30, 2006 our Tier 1 leverage ratio was 8.1%, Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio was 9.32%, and total risk-based capital ratio was 11.57% . We met all the criteria under current regulatory guidelines to be considered well capitalized as of September 30, 2006.
The following table provides a summary of the major elements of income and expense for the periods indicated:

1) | Loan interest income includes fee income of $479,000 and $460,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Average balance of loans includes average deferred loan fees of $1,410,000 and $1,377,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The average balance of nonaccrual loans is not significant as a percentage of total loans and, as such, has been included in net loans. Certain loans are exempt from state taxes, however, the income derived from these loans is not significant, therefore there have been no adjustments made to reflect interest earned on these loans on a tax-equivalent basis. |
2) | The amount of tax-exempt securities that we hold is minimal and the amount derived from these securities is not significant, therefore there have been no adjustments made to reflect interest earned on these securities on a tax-equivalent basis. |
3) | Net interest margin is computed by dividing net interest income by the total average earning assets. |

1) | Loan interest income includes fee income of $1,503,000 and $1,355,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Average balance of loans includes average deferred loan fees of $1,432,000 and $1,247,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The average balance of nonaccrual loans is not significant as a percentage of total loans and, as such, has been included in net loans. Certain loans are exempt from state taxes, however, the income derived from these loans is not significant, therefore there have been no adjustments made to reflect interest earned on these loans on a tax-equivalent basis. |
2) | The amount of tax-exempt securities that we hold is minimal and the amount derived from these securities is not significant, therefore there have been no adjustments made to reflect interest earned on these securities on a tax-equivalent basis. |
3) | Net interest margin is computed by dividing net interest income by the total average earning assets. |

Net interest income, before provision for loan loss, was $7,263,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2006 compared to $5,933,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2005, an increase of $1,330,000, or 22.42%. Net interest income, before provision for loan loss, was $21,575,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to $16,815,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, an increase of $4,760,000, or 28.31%.
Interest Income - Third quarter 2006 Compared to 2005 |
Total interest income for the quarter ended September 30, 2006 was $12,190,000 compared to $8,488,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2005, an increase of $3,702,000 or 43.61% . Changes in interest income are the result of changes in the average balances and changes in average yields on earning assets. During the third quarter of 2006, total average earning assets were $635,807,000 compared to $525,401,000 during the third quarter of 2005, an increase of $110,406,000, or 21.01% . During the same period, the average rate paid on earning assets increased from 6.41% to 7.61%, or 120 basis points. Of the increase in interest income, $2,705,000 was due to variances in the volume of earning assets and $997,000 was due to variances in the average rate earned on earning assets. Components of earning assets that contributed the majority of the increase in interest income include loans and taxable investment securities which were parti ally offset by declines in Federal Funds sold and other interest-bearing balances. Year-over-year, we experienced changes in average balances and average yields on these balances as follows:
During the third quarter of 2006, average net loans were $483,374,000 compared to $342,998,000 during the third quarter of 2005, an increase of $140,376,000, or 40.93% . This increased volume of loans resulted in an increase in interest earned on average loans of $3,018,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2006, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2005. During this same time period, the average yield earned on average loans increased from 7.93% to 8.67% . This 74 basis point increase in average yield resulted in an increase of $681,000 in interest earned on average net loans during the third quarter of 2006 compared to the third quarter of 2005. The net result was an increase of $3,699,000 in interest earned on average net loans during the third quarter of 2006 compared with the same period of 2005.
15
Average taxable investment securities during the third quarter of 2006 were $146,015,000 compared to $157,318,000 during the same period of 2005, a decrease of $11,303,000, or 7.18% . This decrease in volume resulted in a decrease in interest earned on average taxable securities of $107,000 during the third quarter of 2006 compared to the third quarter of 2005. During the same period, average yield earned on average taxable securities increased by 68 basis points, resulting in an increase of $257,000 in interest earned on average taxable securities during the third quarter of 2006, compared to the same period of 2005. The net result was an increase of $150,000 in interest earned on average taxable securities during the third quarter of 2006, compared to the third quarter of 2005.
During the third quarter of 2006, average Federal Funds sold and other interest-bearing balances were $1,850,000 compared to $24,000,000 during the same period of 2005, a decrease of $22,150,000, or 92.29% . This decrease in volume resulted in a decrease in interest earned of $240,000 during the third quarter of 2006 compared to the third quarter of 2005. During the same period, average yield earned on these balances increased by 138 basis points, resulting in an increase of $60,000 in interest income during the third quarter of 2006, compared to the same period of 2005. The net result was a decrease of $180,000 in interest earned on Federal Funds sold and other interest-bearing balances during the third quarter of 2006, compared to the third quarter of 2005.
Interest Expense - Third Quarter 2006 Compared to 2005 |
Total interest expense for the third quarter of 2006 was $4,927,000 compared to $2,555,000 for the third quarter of 2005, an increase of $2,372,000, or 92.84% . Changes in interest expense are the result of changes in the average balances and changes in average rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities. During the third quarter of 2006, total average interest-bearing liabilities were $464,915,000 compared to $363,430,000 during the third quarter of 2005, an increase of $101,485,000, or 27.92% . During the same period, the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities increased from 2.79% to 4.20%, or 141 basis points. Of the increase in interest expense, $1,136,000 was due to variances in the volume of interest-bearing liabilities and $1,236,000 was due to variances in the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities. Major components of interest-bearing liabilities include NOW and money market accounts, savings deposit s, time deposits, and other borrowings. Year-over-year, we experienced changes in average balances and average yields on these balances as follows:
The average balance of NOW and money market accounts increased from $217,214,000 during the third quarter of 2005 to $295,151,000 during the third quarter of 2006, an increase of $77,937,000, or 35.88% . This increased volume of deposits resulted in an increase in interest expense of $678,000 during the third quarter of 2006 compared to the third quarter of 2005, while the 131 basis point increase in interest rates during the same period caused interest expense to increase by $858,000. The net result was an increase in interest expense on average NOW and money market accounts of $1,536,000 during the third quarter of 2006, compared to the third quarter of 2005.
Average savings deposits decreased during the third quarter of 2006 to $89,969,000, compared to $115,318,000 during the third quarter of 2005, a decrease of $25,349,000, or 21.98% . Because of this decrease in average savings deposits, interest expense decreased $186,000 during the third quarter of 2006, compared to the third quarter of 2005. Interest rates during this same period increased by 116 basis points, resulting in an increase in interest expense of $286,000 in the third quarter of 2006, compared to the third quarter of 2005. The net result was an increase of $100,000 in interest expense on average savings deposits during the third quarter of 2006 versus the third quarter of 2005.
Average time deposits during the third quarter of 2006 increased to $27,238,000, compared to $24,098,000 during the third quarter of 2005, an increase of $3,140,000, or 13.03% . This increase in average time deposits caused interest expense to increase by $21,000 in the third quarter of 2006 compared to the third quarter of 2005, and the 147 basis point increase in interest rates on average time deposits caused interest expense to increase by $99,000 during this same time period. These two factors resulted in the net increase in interest expense on average time deposits of $120,000 in the third quarter of 2006 compared to the third quarter of 2005.
Average other borrowings, consisting primarily of subordinated notes and FHLB advances, increased during the third quarter of 2006 to $52,557,000 compared to $6,800,000 during the third quarter of 2005, an increase of $45,757,000, or 672.90% . Due to significant demand for new loans, the Company began relying on FHLB advances to fund a portion of the increase in loan volume. The increase in FHLB advances was the primary factor influencing the interest expense increase of $623,000 during the third quarter of 2006, compared to the third quarter of 2005, while a 38 basis point decrease in interest rates paid on average other borrowings caused interest expense to decrease by $7,000 during
16
this same year-over-year time period. The net result was an increase of $616,000 in interest expense on other borrowings during the third quarter of 2006 compared to the third quarter of 2005.
Interest Income - First Nine Months 2006 Compared to 2005
Total interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was $33,966,000 compared to $22,838,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, an increase of $11,128,000 or 48.73% . Changes in interest income are the result of changes in the average balances and changes in average yields on earning assets. During the first nine months of 2006, total average earning assets were $616,193,000 compared to $496,433,000 during the first nine months of 2005, an increase of $119,760,000, or 24.12% . During the same period, the average rate paid on earning assets increased from 6.15% to 7.37%, or 122 basis points. Of the increase in interest income, $7,707,000 was due to variances in the volume of earning assets and $3,421,000 was due to variances in the average rate earned on earning assets. Components of earning assets that contributed the majority of the increase in interest income include loans and taxable investment securit ies. Year-over-year, we experienced changes in average balances and average yields on these balances as follows:
During the first nine months of 2006, average net loans were $451,085,000 compared to $324,642,000 during the first nine months of 2005, an increase of $126,443,000, or 38.95% . This increased volume of loans resulted in an increase in interest earned on average loans of $7,890,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2006, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2005. During this same time period, the average yield earned on average loans increased from 7.70% to 8.52% . This 82 basis point increase in average yield resulted in an increase of $2,156,000 in interest earned on average net loans during the first nine months of 2006 compared to the first nine months of 2005. The net result was an increase of $10,046,000 in interest earned on average net loans during the first nine months of 2006 compared with the same period of 2005.
Average taxable investment securities during the first nine months of 2006 were $150,356,000 compared to $147,486,000 during the same period of 2005, an increase of $2,870,000, or 1.95% . This increase in volume resulted in an increase in interest earned on average taxable securities of $72,000 during the first nine months of 2006 compared to the third quarter of 2005. During the same period, average yield earned on average taxable securities increased by 94 basis points, resulting in an increase of $1,055,000 in interest earned on average taxable securities during the first nine months of 2006, compared to the same period of 2005. The net result was an increase of $1,127,000 in interest earned on average taxable securities during the first nine months of 2006, compared to the first nine months of 2005.
Interest Expense - First Nine Months 2006 Compared to 2005
Total Interest expense for the first nine months of 2006 was $12,391,000 compared to $6,023,000 for the first nine months of 2005, an increase of $6,368,000, or 105.73% . Changes in interest expense are the result of changes in the average balances and changes in average rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities. During the first nine months of 2006, total average interest-bearing liabilities were $441,442,000 compared to $341,487,000 during the first nine months of 2005, an increase of $99,955,000, or 29.27% . During the same period, the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities increased from 2.36% to 3.75%, or 139 basis points. Of the increase in interest expense, $2,552,000 was due to variances in the volume of interest-bearing liabilities and $3,816,000 was due to variances in the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities. Major components of interest-bearing liabilities include NOW and money market accounts , savings deposits, time deposits, and other borrowings. Year-over-year, we experienced changes in average balances and average yields on these balances as follows:
The average balance of NOW and money market accounts increased from $202,864,000 during the first nine months of 2005 to $288,191,000 during the first nine months of 2006, an increase of $85,327,000, or 42.06%. This increased volume of deposits resulted in an increase in interest expense of $1,848,000 during the first nine months of 2006 compared to the first nine months of 2005, while the 146 basis point increase in interest rates during the same period caused interest expense to increase by $2,774,000. The net result was an increase in interest expense on average NOW and money market accounts of $4,622,000 during the first nine months of 2006, compared to the first nine months of 2005.
Average savings deposits decreased during the first nine months of 2006 to $96,172,000, compared to $105,766,000 during the first nine months of 2005, a decrease of $9,594,000, or 9.07%. Because of this decrease in average savings
17
deposits, interest expense decreased $179,000 during the first nine months of 2006, compared to the first nine months of 2005. Interest rates during this same period increased by 93 basis points, resulting in an increase in interest expense of $677,000 in the first nine months of 2006, compared to the first nine months of 2005. The net result was an increase of $498,000 in interest expense on average savings deposits during the first nine months of 2006 versus the first nine months of 2005.
Average time deposits during the first nine months of 2006 increased to $27,340,000, compared to $23,310,000 during the first nine months of 2005, an increase of $4,030,000, or 17.29% . This increase in average time deposits caused interest expense to increase by $72,000 in the first nine months of 2006 compared to the first nine months of 2005, and the 129 basis point increase in interest rates on average time deposits caused interest expense to increase by $257,000 during this same time period. These two factors resulted in the net increase in interest expense on average time deposits of $329,000 in the first nine months of 2006 compared to the first nine months of 2005.
Average other borrowings, consisting primarily of subordinated notes and FHLB advances, increased during the first nine months of 2006 to $29,739,000 compared to $9,547,000 during the first nine months of 2005, an increase of $20,192,000, or 211.50% . Due to significant demand for new loans, the Company began relying on FHLB advances to fund a portion of the increase in loan volume. The increase in FHLB advances was the primary factor influencing the interest expense increase of $811,000 during the first nine months of 2006, compared to the first nine months of 2005, while a 121 basis point increase in interest rates paid on average other borrowings caused interest expense to increase by $108,000 during this same year-over-year time period. The net result was an increase of $919,000 in interest expense on other borrowings during the first nine months of 2006 compared to the first nine months of 2005.
Net Interest Margin |
The annualized net interest margin, net interest income divided by average earning assets, for the third quarter of 2006 was 4.53% compared to 4.48% for the third quarter of 2005, an increase of 5 basis points. For the first nine months of 2006, the annualized net interest margin was 4.68%, compared to 4.53% for the same period in the prior year. This increase was primarily the result of the rising rate environment experienced by the Company during the first half of 2006 where our variable rate assets repriced more quickly than interest-bearing liabilities. The current competitive rate environment could, in Managements view, exert pressure on net interest margin potentially resulting in a flat to slightly declining margin for the fourth quarter of 2006 and early 2007.
Provision for Loan Losses |
We made a $600,000 addition to the allowance for loan losses in the third quarter of 2006 compared to an addition of $300,000 in the third quarter of 2005. Year to date, we have made $1,130,000 in additions to the allowance for loan losses. The provision for loan losses is based upon in-depth analysis, in which Management considers many factors, including the rate of loan growth, changes in the level of past due, nonperforming and classified assets, changing portfolio mix, overall credit loss experience, recommendations of regulatory authorities, and prevailing local and national economic conditions to establish an allowance for loan losses deemed adequate by Management. Based upon information known to Management at the date of this report, Management believes that these additions to the total allowance for loan losses allow the Company to maintain an adequate reserve to absorb losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The total all owance for loan losses was $8,199,000 at September 30, 2006, compared to $7,003,000 at December 31, 2005, an increase of $1,196,000, or 17.08% . The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to total loans, net of unearned income, was 1.62% at September 30, 2006 and 1.72% at December 31, 2005. For further information regarding our allowance for loan losses, see Allowance for Loan Losses discussion later in this item.
Noninterest Income |
Noninterest income consists primarily of service charges on deposit accounts and fees for miscellaneous services. Noninterest income totaled $725,000 in the third quarter of 2006, which was an increase of $45,000, or 6.62%, over $680,000 in the third quarter of 2005. Service charges and fees on deposits decreased $24,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2006 compared to the same period of 2005. Other customer service fees were up $103,000 in the third quarter of 2006 as compared to the third quarter of 2005. Other noninterest income decreased $34,000 during the third quarter of 2006 compared to the third quarter of 2005.
18
For the first nine months of 2006, noninterest income was $2,234,000, an increase of $187,000, or 9.14%, compared to $2,047,000 in the same period of 2005. Service charges and fees on deposits decreased $91,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2005. The decrease in service charges and fees on deposits was the result of customers maintaining higher balances in their accounts thereby offsetting service charges and fees that would be charged against those accounts. Other customer service fees increased $103,000 to $949,000 in the first nine months of 2006 as compared to the same period in 2005. Other noninterest income totaled $694,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2006, an increase of $175,000, or 33.72%, as compared to the same period of 2005 primarily due to income from FHLB dividends, cash surrender value of life insurance and other miscellaneous fees.
Noninterest Expense |
As compared to the third quarter of 2005, noninterest expense increased $517,000, or 15.55%, to a total of $3,841,000 in the third quarter of 2006. For the first nine months of 2006, noninterest expense totaled $11,192,000, an increase of 1,421,000, or 14.54%, compared to the first nine months of 2005. Noninterest expense primarily consists of salary and employee benefits, occupancy and fixed assets expense, promotional expenses, professional expenses, and other miscellaneous noninterest expenses.
Salary and employee benefits increased $464,000, or 23.42%, to $2,445,000 during the third quarter of 2006 as compared to the third quarter of 2005. For the first nine months of 2006, salary and employee benefits were $7,008,000, an increase of $1,297,000, or 22.71%, compared to $5,711,000 in the first nine months of 2005. The increase in salary and employee benefits was due primarily to normal salary increases, and increases in group medical insurance premiums as compared to the prior year. Salary and employee benefits expense also includes additional compensation expense from granting of stock options under SFAS 123R of $40,000 and $104,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, respectively.
Occupancy and fixed asset expense increased by $48,000, to $502,000 during the third quarter of 2006 compared to the third quarter of 2005. During the first nine months of 2006, occupancy and fixed asset expense increased $7,000 to $1,461,000.
Promotional expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 2006 were $131,000, an increase of $5,000, or 3.97%, as compared to $126,000 in the same period in the prior year. For the first nine months of 2006, promotional expenses were $433,000, an increase of $5,000, or 1.17%, as compared to $428,000 in the same period of 2005.
Professional expenses were $305,000 for the third quarter of 2006, an increase of $160,000, or 110.34% as compared to $145,000 in the third quarter of 2005. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, total professional expenses were $885,000, an increase of $160,000, or 22.07%, as compared to $725,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. The increase in professional expense was primarily the result of increases in legal fees as a result of the reorganization of the bank into a bank holding company structure and issuing the trust preferred securities.
Other expenses for the third quarter of 2006 totaled $458,000, which was a decrease of $160,000, or 25.89% compared to $618,000 in the third quarter of 2005. Year-to-date, other noninterest expense decreased $48,000, or 3.30%, to $1,405,000 compared to $1,453,000 in 2005. The decreases in other noninterest expense were primarily due to decreases in bank insurance expense, decreases in stationary and supplies expense, and decreases in miscellaneous loan expense. The efficiency ratio for the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2006 were 48.08% and 47.01%, respectively. The efficiency ratio for the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2005 were 50.26% and 51.80%, respectively. The decrease in the efficiency ratio indicates that the Company's overall operating efficiency improved in 2006 compared to 2005.
Provision for Income Taxes |
We recorded income tax expense of $1,625,000 in the third quarter of 2006 compared to $1,298,000 in the third quarter of 2005. For the first nine months of 2006, income tax expense was $4,777,000 compared to $3,403,000 for the same period in the prior year. The increases in the provision for income tax in the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2006 were primarily due to increased profitability in the each of the respective periods as compared to the same periods in the prior year. The effective tax rates for the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2006 were 45.81% and 41.59%, respectively. Income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2006
19
includes a refund of 2005 taxes of $243,000. The effective tax rate for the nine month period ended, excluding the refund, was 43.70% . The effective tax rates for the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2005 were 43.43% and 41.55%, respectively.
Securities |
At September 30, 2006, held-to-maturity securities had a market value of $138,923,000 with an amortized cost basis of $141,881,000. On an amortized cost basis, the held-to-maturity investment portfolio decreased $25,755,000 from the December 31, 2005 balance of $167,636,000, a decrease of 15.36% . The decrease in the portfolio was primarily due to the maturity of U.S. Treasury securities which decreased $14,031,000. The unrealized pretax loss on held-to-maturity securities at September 30, 2006 was $2,958,000, as compared to a loss of $2,677,000 at December 31, 2005. The decrease in the market value of the investment portfolio was caused by the general increase in short-term interest rates. As a general rule, the market price of fixed rate investment securities will decline as interest rates rise. Inasmuch as these investment securities are classified as held-to-maturity, we expect to hold all such securities until they reach the ir respective maturity dates and, therefore, we do not anticipate recognizing any losses on these securities. During the first quarter of 2006, the Company reclassified all of its investments in municipal securities from held-to-maturity to available-for-sale. At September 30, 2006, available-for-sale securities had a market value of $7,034,000. The unrealized pretax loss on available-for-sale securities at September 30, 2006 was $150,000. Unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities are included in accumulated other comprehensive income in shareholders equity on an after-tax basis. We classify individual investments as available-for-sale based upon liquidity and capital needs at the time of purchase.
Loans |
The ending balance for loans, net of unearned income at September 30, 2006 was $505,546,000, which was an increase of $98,146,000, or 24.09%, from the year-end 2005 balance of $407,400,000. Since year-end 2005, significant changes in our loan portfolio were as follows: real estate loans have increased from $333,121,000 at December 31, 2005 to $423,417,000 at September 30, 2006 (27.11%); and, commercial loans have increased from $55,895,000 at December 31, 2005 to $61,417,000 at September 30, 2006 (9.88%) . Based on currently available economic data and related information, Management believes that loan demand for Kern County and the greater Bakersfield area will remain fairly constant through early 2007.
Credit Risk |
We assess and manage credit risk on an ongoing basis through a formal credit review program, internal monitoring and formal lending policies. We believe our ability to identify and assess risk and return characteristics of our loan portfolio is critical for profitability and growth. We emphasize credit quality in the loan approval process, active credit administration and regular monitoring. With this in mind, we have designed and implemented a comprehensive loan review and grading system that functions to monitor and assess the credit risk inherent in the loan portfolio.
Ultimately, the credit quality of our loans may be influenced by underlying trends in the national and local economic and business cycles. Our business is mostly concentrated in Kern County, California. Our economy is diversified between agriculture, oil, light industry, and warehousing and distribution. As a result, we lend money to individuals and companies dependent upon these industries.
We have significant extensions of credit and commitments to extend credit which are secured by real estate, totaling approximately $522,115,000 at September 30, 2006. Although we believe this real estate concentration has no more than the normal risk of collectibility, a substantial decline in the economy in general, a decline in real estate values in our primary market area in particular, or a substantial increase in interest rates could have an adverse impact on the collectibility of these loans. The ultimate recovery of these loans is generally dependent upon the successful operation, sale or refinancing of the real estate. We monitor the effects of current and expected market conditions and other factors on the collectibility of real estate loans. When, in our judgment, these loans are impaired, an appropriate provision for losses is recorded. The more significant assumptions we consider involve estimates of the following: le ase, absorption and sale rates; real estate values and rates of return; operating expenses; inflation; and sufficiency of collateral independent of the real estate including, in most instances, personal guarantees. Notwithstanding the
20
foregoing, abnormally high rates of impairment due to general or local economic conditions could adversely affect our future prospects and results of operations.
In extending credit and commitments to borrowers, we generally require collateral and/or guarantees as security. The repayment of such loans is expected to come from cash flow and from proceeds from the sale of selected assets of the borrowers. Our requirement for collateral and/or guarantees is determined on a case-by-case basis in connection with our evaluation of the creditworthiness of the borrower. Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, income-producing properties, residences and other real property. We secure our collateral by perfecting our interest in business assets, obtaining deeds of trust, or outright possession among other means. Loan losses from lending transactions related to real estate and agriculture compare favorably with our loan losses on our loan portfolio as a whole.
We believe that our lending policies and underwriting standards will tend to mitigate losses in an economic downturn; however, there is no assurance that losses will not occur under such circumstances. Our loan policies and underwriting standards include, but are not limited to, the following: 1) maintaining a thorough understanding of our service area and limiting investments outside of this area, 2) maintaining an understanding of borrowers knowledge and capacity in their fields of expertise, 3) basing real estate construction loan approval not only on salability of the project, but also on the borrowers capacity to support the project financially in the event it does not sell within the originally projected time period, and 4) maintaining conforming and prudent loan to value and loan to cost ratios based on independent outside appraisals and ongoing inspection and analysis of our construction lending activities. In addition, we strive to diversify the risk inherent in the construction portfolio by avoiding concentrations to individual borrowers and on any one project.
Nonaccrual, Past Due, Restructured Loans and Other Real Estate Owned (OREO)
We generally place loans on nonaccrual status when they become 90 days past due as to principal or interest, unless the loan is well secured and in the process of collection. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, the accrued and unpaid interest receivable is reversed and the loan is accounted for on the cash or cost recovery method thereafter, until qualifying for return to accrual status. Generally, a loan may be returned to accrual status when all delinquent interest and principal become current in accordance with the terms of the loan agreement and remaining principal is considered collectible or when the loan is both well secured and in the process of collection. Loans or portions thereof are charged off when, in our opinion, collection appears unlikely. The following table sets forth nonaccrual loans, loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing, restructured loans performing in compliance with modified terms and OREO at September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005:

At September 30, 2006, there were nonperforming and restructured loans which totaled $330,000, compared to $727,000 at December 31, 2005, a decrease of $397,000. The reduction was due to a decrease in nonaccrual loans. During the third quarter of 2006, we continued to closely monitor and actively pursue the collection of all loans classified as nonperforming. At September 30, 2006, nonperforming and restructured loans were 0.07% of total loans, compared to 0.18% at December 31, 2005. The ratio of nonperforming and restructured assets to total assets was 0.14% at September 30, 2006 compared to 0.23% at December 31, 2005.
Under generally accepted accounting principles, a loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that we may be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Impaired loans are measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows, discounted at the loan's effective interest rate or, as a practical expedient, at the loan's observable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral-dependent. Under some circumstances, a loan which is deemed impaired may still perform in accordance with its contractual terms. Loans that are considered impaired are generally not placed on nonaccrual status unless the loan becomes 90 days or more past due.
At September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, there was no recorded investment in loans that were considered impaired under SFAS No. 114. Other than impaired loans and classified loans (discussed below), we are not aware of any other potential problem loans which were accruing and current at September 30, 2006, where serious doubt exists as to the ability of the borrower to comply with the present repayment terms. In this report, the terms impaired and classified will not necessarily be used to describe the same loans. Impaired loans are those loans that meet the definition outlined in SFAS No. 114. Classified loans generally refer to those loans that have a credit risk rating of 6 through 8, as further discussed in the following section.
Generally it is the Companys policy that when a loan is nonaccrual, payments are applied against the principal balance of the loan until such time as full collection of the principal balance is expected. The amount of gross interest income that would have been recorded for nonaccrual loans, if all such loans had been current in accordance with their original terms, was $110,000.
22
Total cash payments received during the nine months ended September 30, 2006, which were applied against the book balance of nonaccrual loans outstanding at September 30, 2006, totaled approximately $436,000.
Classified Loans |
We have established a system of evaluation of all loans in our loan portfolio. Based upon the evaluation performed, each loan is assigned a risk rating. This risk rating system quantifies the risk we believe we have assumed when entering into a credit transaction. The system rates the strength of the borrower and the facility or transaction, which provides a tool for risk management and early problem loan recognition.
For each new credit approval, credit review, credit extension or renewal or modification of existing facilities, the approving officers assign risk ratings utilizing an eight point rating scale. The risk ratings are a measure of credit risk based on the historical, current and anticipated financial characteristics of the borrower in the current risk environment. We assign risk ratings on a scale of 1 to 8, with 1 being the highest quality rating and 8 being the lowest quality rating. Loans rated an 8 are charged off.
The primary accountability for risk rating management resides with the account officer. The Credit Review Department is responsible for confirming the risk rating after reviewing all the credit factors independently of the account officer. The rating assigned to a credit is the one determined to be appropriate by the Credit Review Department.
The loans we consider classified are those that have a credit risk rating of 6 through 8. These are the loans and other credit facilities that we consider to be of the greatest risk to us and, therefore, they receive the highest level of attention by our account officers and senior credit management officers.
A loan that is classified may be either a performing or nonperforming loan. A performing loan is one wherein the borrower is making all payments as required by the loan agreements. A nonperforming loan is one wherein the borrower is not paying as agreed and/or is not meeting specific other performance requirements that were agreed to in the loan documentation.
The following table summarizes the Companys classified loans for the periods indicated:

At September 30, 2006, there were $3,334,000 in classified loans compared to $4,676,000 in classified loans at December 31, 2005, a decrease of $1,342,000, or 28.70% . The decrease was primarily due to improvements in the credit quality of the borrower and the receipt of payments on these loans. The amount of classified loans includes the portion of certain loans that are guaranteed by the Small Business Administration. These amounts were $0 and $196,000 at September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively. Management does not expect to incur a loss on these amounts that are guaranteed by the Small Business Administration.
The loans and other credit facilities considered classified are also allocated a specific amount in the allowance for loan losses, as further explained in the Allowance for Loan Losses section herein.
Allowance for Loan Losses |
We maintain an allowance for loan losses to absorb losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The allowance is based on our regular assessments of the probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio and to a lesser extent, unused commitments to provide financing. Determining the adequacy of the allowance is a matter of judgment, which reflects consideration of all significant factors that affect the collectibility of the portfolio as of the evaluation date. Our methodology for measuring the appropriate level of the allowance relies on several key elements, which include the formula allowance,
23
specific allowances for identified problem loans and the unallocated reserve. The unallocated allowance contains amounts that are based on our evaluation of existing conditions that are not directly measured in the determination of the formula and specific allowances.
The formula allowance is calculated by applying loss factors to outstanding loans and certain unused commitments, in each case based on the internal risk grade of such loans and commitments. Changes in risk grades of both performing and nonperforming loans affect the amount of the formula allowance. Loss factors are based on our historical loss experience and may be adjusted for other factors that, in our judgment, affect the collectibility of the portfolio as of the evaluation date. At September 30, 2006, the formula allowance was $6,789,000 compared to $3,866,000 at December 31, 2005. The increase in the formula allowance was primarily a result of increases in the balances of loans outstanding.
In addition to the formula allowance calculated by the application of the loss factors to the standard loan categories, specific allowances may also be calculated. Quarterly, all significant classified loans are analyzed individually based on the source and adequacy of repayment and specific type of collateral, and an assessment is made of the adequacy of the formula reserve relative to the individual loan. A specific allocation either higher or lower than the formula reserve will be calculated based on the higher/lower-than-normal probability of loss and the adequacy of the collateral. At September 30, 2006, the specific allowance was $1,133,000 on a classified loan base of $3,334,000 compared to a specific allowance of $1,412,000 on a classified loan base of $4,676,000 at December 31, 2005.
At September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 there was $277,000 and $1,724,000, respectively, in the allowance for loan losses that was unallocated. In the opinion of Management, and based upon an evaluation of potential losses inherent in the loan portfolio, it is necessary to establish unallocated allowance amounts above the amounts allocated using the formula and specific allowance methods, based upon our evaluation of the following factors:
There can be no assurance that the adverse impact of any of these conditions on us will not be in excess of the combined allowance for loan losses as determined by us at September 30, 2006 and set forth in the preceding paragraph.
The allowance for loan losses totaled $8,199,000 or 1.62% of total loans at September 30, 2006, compared to $7,003,000 or 1.71% of total loans at December 31, 2005. At these dates, the allowance represented 2,484.55% and 963.27% of nonperforming and restructured loans, respectively.
It is our policy to maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level considered adequate for risks inherent in the loan portfolio. Based on information currently available to Management, including economic factors, overall credit quality, historical delinquency and history of actual charge-offs, as of September 30, 2006, we believe that the allowance for loan losses is adequate. However, no prediction of the ultimate level of additional provisions to our allowance or loans charged off in future years can be made with any certainty.

Liquidity |
Liquidity management refers to our ability to maintain cash flows that are adequate to fund our operations on an ongoing basis and to meet our debt obligations and other commitments on a timely and cost effective basis. Both assets and liabilities contribute to our liquidity position. Federal funds lines, short-term investments and securities, and loan repayments contribute to liquidity, along with deposit increases, while loan funding and deposit withdrawals decrease liquidity. We assess the likelihood of projected funding requirements by reviewing historical funding patterns, current and forecasted economic conditions and individual customer funding needs. Commitments to fund loans and outstanding standby letters of credit at September 30, 2006, were approximately $213,085,000 and $8,246,000, respectively. Such loans relate primarily to revolving lines of credit and other commercial loans, and to real estate construction loans.
Our sources of liquidity consist of overnight funds sold to correspondent banks, unpledged marketable loans and investments, and salable SBA loans. At September 30, 2006, consolidated liquid assets totaled $80,155,000 or 11.28% of total assets as compared to $150,422,000 or 23.99% of total consolidated assets at December 31, 2005. In addition to liquid assets, we maintain short-term lines of credit with correspondent banks. At September 30, 2006, we had $15,000,000 available under these credit lines. At September 30, 2006, $0 was outstanding under these credit lines. Additionally, we have borrowing capacity with the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco in the amount of $72,399,000. At September 30, 2006, $64,800,000 was outstanding under this credit line. The Company has a number of effective options available to it should it wish to fund new loans even if the maximum advance from the FHLB is exhausted, or in lieu of FHLB Adva nces. These include, but are not limited to, brokered deposits, other deposit programs, and public funds as other sources of liquidity. However, some of these options could increase the Company average cost of funds and impact the net interest margin.
We serve primarily a business and professional customer base and, as such, our deposit base is susceptible to economic fluctuations. Accordingly, we strive to maintain a balanced position of liquid assets to volatile and cyclical deposits.
Capital Resources |
Our total shareholders equity was $45,616,000 at September 30, 2006, compared to $39,290,000 at December 31, 2005, an increase of $6,326,000, or 16.10% . The change is the result of the first three quarters earnings, issuance of capital stock due to the exercise of stock options, the increase in other comprehensive income or loss, and the payout of a cash dividend to shareholders in February, 2006.
The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Board of Governors) has adopted regulations requiring insured institutions to maintain a minimum leverage ratio of Tier 1 capital (the sum of common stockholders equity, noncumulative perpetual preferred stock and minority interests in consolidated subsidiaries, minus intangible assets, identified losses and investments in certain subsidiaries, plus unrealized losses or minus unrealized gains on available
25
for sale securities) to total assets. Institutions which have received the highest composite regulatory rating and which are not experiencing or anticipating significant growth are required to maintain a minimum leverage capital ratio of 3% Tier 1 capital to total assets. All other institutions are required to maintain a minimum leverage capital ratio of at least 100 to 200 basis points above the 3% minimum requirement.
The Board of Governors has also adopted a statement of policy, supplementing its leverage capital ratio requirements, which provides definitions of qualifying total capital (consisting of Tier 1 capital and Tier 2 supplementary capital, including the allowance for loan losses up to a maximum of 1.25% of risk-weighted assets) and sets forth minimum risk-based capital ratios of capital to risk-weighted assets. Insured institutions are required to maintain a ratio of qualifying total capital to risk weighted assets of 8%, at least one-half (4%) of which must be in the form of Tier 1 capital.
The following table sets forth the Companys and the Banks actual capital positions at September 30, 2006 and the minimum capital requirements for both under the regulatory guidelines discussed above:
Company | Bank | Well Capitalized | ||||

Leverage ratio | 8.10% | 8.08% | 5% |
We met the well capitalized ratio measures at September 30, 2006.
Subordinated Note |
On April 5, 2004, the Bank issued a Six Million Dollar ($6,000,000) Floating Rate Subordinated Note (the Subordinated Note) in a private placement. The Subordinated Note, which was issued pursuant to a Purchase Agreement dated April 5, 2004 by and between the Bank and NBC Capital Markets Group, Inc., matures in 2019. The Bank may redeem the Subordinated Note, at par, on or after April 23, 2009, subject to compliance with California and federal banking regulations. The Subordinated Note resets quarterly and bears interest at a rate equal to the three-month LIBOR index plus a margin of 2.70% . The Subordinated Note is a capital security that qualifies as Tier 2 capital pursuant to capital adequacy guidelines.
Trust Preferred Securities |
On September 1, 2006, San Joaquin Bancorp and San Joaquin Bancorp Trust #1, a Delaware statutory trust, entered into a Purchase Agreement with TWE, Ltd. for the sale of $10 million of floating rate trust preferred securities issued by the Trust and guaranteed by the Company.
On September 1, 2006, the Trust issued $10 million of trust preferred securities to TWE, Ltd. and $310,000 of common securities to the Company under an Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust, dated as of September 1, 2006. The trust preferred securities are guaranteed by the Company on a subordinated basis pursuant to a Guarantee Agreement, dated as of September 1, 2006.
The trust preferred securities have a floating annual rate, reset quarterly, equal to the three-month LIBOR plus 1.60% . The trust preferred securities are non-redeemable through September 30, 2011. Each of the trust preferred securities represents an undivided interest in the assets of the Trust.
The Company owns all of the Trust's common securities. The Trust's only assets are the junior subordinated notes issued by the Company on substantially the same payment terms as the trust preferred securities. The Company's junior subordinated notes were issued pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of September 1, 2006.
The Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco has advised the Company that the trust preferred securities are eligible as tier 1 capital.
26
Off-Balance Sheet Items |
We have certain ongoing commitments under operating leases. These commitments do not significantly impact operating results. As of September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, commitments to extend credit and letters of credit were the only financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk, except for the interest rate cap contracts and interest rate swap agreements described herein.
Derivatives |
The use of derivatives allows the Company to meet the needs of its customers while reducing the interest rate risk associated with certain transactions. Currently, the Company uses interest rate cap contracts, which are cash flow hedges, and interest rate swap agreements, which are fair value hedges, to limit exposure to changes in interest rates. The Board has approved a hedging policy, and the Asset Liability Committee is responsible for ensuring that the Board is knowledgeable about general hedging theory, usage and accounting; and that based upon this understanding, approves all hedging transactions. The derivatives are carried at fair value and are included in other assets or other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet if they have a positive or negative fair value, respectively.
Cash Flow Hedges |
We entered into two interest rate cap contracts with a third party, to manage the risk that changes in interest rates will affect the amount of interest expense of our deposits. The interest rate cap contracts qualify as derivative financial instruments. Under an interest rate cap contract, we agree to pay an initial fixed amount at the beginning of the contract in exchange for quarterly payments from the third party when the three-month LIBOR rate exceeds a certain fixed level.
At September 30, 2006, we had interest rate cap contracts on $14,000,000 notional amount of indebtedness. Interest rate cap contracts with notional amounts of $7,000,000 and $7,000,000 have cap rates of 6.50%, and 6.00%, respectively. Notional amount of $14,000,000 outstanding contracts will mature on June 2, 2008. The net gain or loss on the ineffective portion of these interest rate cap contracts was not material for the year ended December 31, 2005, or for the three months or nine months ended September 30, 2006.
The interest rate cap contracts are considered to be a hedge against changes in the amount of future cash flows associated with our interest expense for our deposits. Accordingly, the interest rate cap contracts are recorded at fair value in our consolidated balance sheet and the related unrealized gains or losses on these contracts are recorded in shareholders equity as a component of other comprehensive income. These deferred gains and losses are amortized as an adjustment to interest expense over the same period in which the related interest payments being hedged are recognized in income. Over the next 12 months, the Company expects to amortize $61,000 of the unrealized loss as an adjustment to interest expense. However, to the extent that any of these contracts are not considered to be perfectly effective in offsetting the change in the value of the interest payments being hedged, any changes in fair value relating to t he ineffective portion of these contracts are immediately recognized in income.
Fair Value Hedges |
The Company entered into interest rate swap agreements with a third party, to hedge against changes in fair value of certain fixed rate loans. The Company uses this as a means to offer fixed rate loans to customers, while maintaining a variable rate income that better suits the Company's needs. Under an interest rate swap agreement, the Company agrees to pay a fixed rate to the counter party while receiving a floating rate based on the 1-month LIBOR.
As of September 30, 2006, we had interest rate swap agreements on $19,443,000 notional amount of indebtedness. At September 30, 2006, the fair value of the swaps was an unrealized loss of $716,000. The corresponding fair value adjustment is included on the balance sheet with the hedged items. The net gain or loss on the ineffective portion of these interest rate swap agreements was not material for the three months or nine months ended September 30, 2006.
The interest rate swap agreements are considered to be a hedge against changes in the fair value of certain fixed rate loans. The interest rate swap agreements are fair value hedges that qualify as derivative financial instruments under SFAS No. 133 and are accounted for under the short-cut method. These hedges are considered perfectly effective
27
against changes in the fair value of the loan due to changes in the benchmark interest rate over its term. Accordingly, the hedges are recorded at fair value the balance sheet and any changes in fair value of the swap is recognized currently in earnings and the offsetting gain or loss on the hedged assets attributable to the hedged risk is recognized currently in earnings.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The goal for managing our assets and liabilities is to maximize shareholder value and earnings while maintaining a high quality balance sheet without exposing ourselves to undue interest rate risk. Our Board of Directors has overall responsibility for our interest rate risk management policies. We have an Asset/Liability Management Committee (ALCO), which establishes and monitors guidelines to control the sensitivity of earnings to changes in interest rates. The Company does not engage in trading activities to manage interest rate risk, however, the Board of Directors has approved, and the Company currently uses, derivatives to manage interest rate risk. These derivatives are discussed in Item 2 under the caption "Off-Balance Sheet Items." Interest rate risk is the most significant market risks affecting the Company. Management does not believe the Company faces other significant market risks such as foreign currency exchange ris ks, commodity risks, or equity price risks.
Asset and Liability Management |
Asset Liability Management is the process of selecting and pricing assets and liabilities to improve performance and manage risk. Activities involved in asset/liability management include, but are not limited to, lending, accepting and placing deposits, investing in securities and issuing debt. Interest rate risk is the primary market risk associated with asset/liability management. Sensitivity of earnings to interest rate changes arises when yields on assets change in a different time period or in a different amount from that of interest costs on liabilities. To mitigate interest rate risk, the structure of the balance sheet is managed with the goal that movements of interest rates on assets and liabilities are correlated and contribute to earnings even in periods of volatile interest rates. The asset/liability management policy sets limits on the acceptable amount of variance in net income, net interest income and market value of equity.
The market values of assets or liabilities on which the interest rate is fixed will increase or decrease with changes in market interest rates. If the Company invests funds in a fixed rate long-term security and then interest rates rise, the security is worth less than a comparable security just issued because of the lower yield on the original fixed rate security. If the lower yielding security had to be sold, the Company would have to recognize a loss. Correspondingly, if interest rates decline after a fixed rate security is purchased, its value increases. Therefore, while the value of the fixed rate investment changes regardless of which direction interest rates move, the adverse exposure to market risk is primarily due to rising interest rates. This exposure is lessened by managing the amount of fixed rate assets and by keeping maturities relatively short. However, this strategy must be balanced against the need f or adequate interest income because variable rate and shorter fixed rate securities generally earn less interest than longer term fixed rate securities.
There is market risk relating to the Companys fixed rate or term liabilities as well as its assets. For liabilities, the adverse exposure to market risk is to lower rates because The Company must continue to pay the higher rate until the end of the term.
Simulation of earnings is the primary tool used to measure the sensitivity of earnings to interest rate changes. Using computer modeling techniques, we are able to estimate the potential impact of changing interest rates on the Company's earnings. A balance sheet forecast is prepared using inputs of actual loan, securities and interest-bearing liabilities (i.e., deposits and other borrowings) positions as the beginning base. The forecast balance sheet is processed against multiple interest rate scenarios. The scenarios include a 100, 200, and 300 basis point rising rate forecast, a flat rate forecast and a 100, 200, and 300 basis point falling rate forecast which take place within a one year time frame. The latest simulation forecast using September 30, 2006 balances and measuring against a flat rate environment, calculated that in a one-year horizon an increase in interest rates of 100 basis points may result in a decrease of ap proximately $266,000 (0.9%) in net interest income. Conversely, a 100 basis point decrease may result in an increase of approximately $621,000 (2.0%) in net interest income. The basic structure of the balance sheet has not changed significantly from the last simulation run.
28
The simulations of earnings do not incorporate any management actions which might moderate the negative consequences of interest rate deviations. Therefore, in Managements view, they do not reflect likely actual results, but serve as conservative estimates of interest rate risk. Our risk profile has not changed materially from that at year-end 2005.
The Company has adequate capital to absorb any potential losses as described above as a result of a decrease in interest rates. Periods of more than one year are not estimated because it is believed that steps can be taken to mitigate the adverse effects of such interest rate changes.
Repricing Risk |
One component, among others, of interest rate risk arises from the fact that when interest rates change, the changes do not occur equally for the rates of interest earned and paid because of differences in contractual terms of the assets and liabilities held. The Company has a large portion of its loan portfolio tied to the prime interest rate. If the prime rate is lowered because of general market conditions, e.g., other money-center banks are lowering their lending rates, these loans will be repriced. If the Company were at the same time to have a large portion of its deposits in long-term fixed rate certificates, net interest income would decrease immediately. Interest earned on loans would decline while interest expense would remain at higher levels for a period of time because of the higher rate still being paid on deposits.
A decrease in net interest income could also occur with rising interest rates. This exposure to repricing risk is managed by matching the maturities and repricing opportunities of assets and liabilities. This is done by varying the terms and conditions of the products that are offered to depositors and borrowers. For example, if many depositors want longer-term certificates while most borrowers are requesting loans with floating interest rates, the Company will adjust the interest rates on the certificates and loans to try to match up demand. The Company can then partially fill in mismatches by purchasing securities with the appropriate maturity or repricing characteristics.
Basis Risk |
Another component of interest rate risk arises from the fact that interest rates rarely change in a parallel or equal manner. The interest rates associated with the various assets and liabilities differ in how often they change, the extent to which they change, and whether they change sooner or later than other interest rates. For example, while the repricing of a specific asset and a specific liability may fall in the same period of a gap report, the interest rate on the asset may rise 100 basis points, while market conditions dictate that the liability increases only 50 basis points. While evenly matched in the gap report, the Company would experience an increase in net interest income. This exposure to basis risk is the type of interest risk least able to be managed, but is also the least dramatic. Avoiding concentration in only a few types of assets or liabilities is the best insurance that the average interest re ceived and paid will move in tandem, because the wider diversification means that many different rates, each with their own volatility characteristics, will come into play. The Company has made an effort to minimize concentrations in certain types of assets and liabilities.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures |
The term disclosure controls and procedures refers to the controls and procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files under Rule 13a 14 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the Exchange Act) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within required time periods. As of September 30, 2006 (the Evaluation Date), we carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, such controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that required information will be disclosed on a timely basis.
