This report contains some 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, 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 past 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, liquidity and regulatory risks associated with our business as well as price volatility, availability of credit, illiquid markets, reputational risks, changes in business or economic conditions internationally, nationally or in California, changes in the interest rate environment, access to and the cost of capital, potential acts of terrorism and actions taken in response; fluctuations in asset prices including, but not limited to, stocks, bonds, commodities or other securities, and real estate; volatility of rate sensitive deposits and investments; concentrations of real estate collateral securing many of our loans; deterioration in the credit quality of some of our borrowers, rising unemployment rates, operational risks including data processing system failures and fraud; accounting estimates and judgments; compliance costs associated with regulatory requirements and the internal control structure 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 Cautionary Factors That May Affect Future Results” in Item 1A and elsewhere in our most recent annual report on Form 10-K and in Part II, Item 1A of this report, under the caption “Risk Factors”.

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 except as required by law. You are advised, however, to consult any further disclosures we make on related subjects in future periodic reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K filed with the SEC. 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 UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING AND REPORTING POLICIES

Nature of Operations

San Joaquin Bancorp (the “Company”) is a California corporation registered as a bank holding company subject to the regulatory oversight of the Federal Reserve System under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended. The Company is headquartered in Bakersfield, California. In July 2006, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of San Joaquin Bank (the “Bank”). The Bank is an FDIC insured, California state-chartered bank, and a member of the Federal Reserve System that commenced operations in December 1980. The Bank has four branches. Three branches are in Bakersfield and one is in Delano, California. The Company's primary market area is Kern County, California.

In 1987, the Bank formed a subsidiary, Kern Island Company, to acquire, develop, sell or operate commercial or residential real property located in the Company's market area. In 1993, the Bank formed a limited partnership, Farmersville Village Grove Associates (a California limited partnership), to acquire and operate low-income housing projects under the auspices of the Rural Economic and Community Development Department (formerly Farmers Home Administration), United States Department of Agriculture. Kern Island Company is the 5% general partner and the Bank is the 95% limited partner. The company’s investment in Kern Island Company and Farmersville Village Grove Associates is included in “Investment in real estate” on the balance sheet. During the first quarter of 2009, Farmersville Village Grove Associates sold all of its real estate.

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.

Basis of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include San Joaquin Bancorp and its wholly-owned subsidiaries with the exception of San Joaquin Bancorp Trust #1 (the “Trust”.) All financial information presented in these financial statements includes the operations of the Bank and its subsidiaries year-to-date and on a comparative basis in prior years. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Trust was established for the purpose of issuing trust preferred securities. 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. Instead, the Company’s investment in the Trust is included in other assets on the balance sheet and junior subordinated debentures are presented in long-term debt.

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 necessary to present fairly the Company’s consolidated financial position at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, and cash flows for the six month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008.

Use of Estimates

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

Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change relate to the determination of the allowance for losses on loans and the valuation of real estate acquired in connection with foreclosures or in satisfaction of loans. In connection with the determination of the allowances for losses on loans and foreclosed real estate, management obtains independent appraisals for significant properties.

While management uses available information to recognize losses on loans, future additions to the allowances may be necessary based on changes in historical loss ratios, concentration risks, lending policies and procedures, local and regional economic conditions, nature of the portfolio and terms of loans, experience, ability and depth of lending management, credit quality, quality of the loan review system, collateral values, and effects of other external factors, such as, competition, legal and regulatory requirements. In addition, regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Company's allowances for losses on loans. Such agencies may require the Company to recognize additions to the allowances based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination.

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 Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. The results of operations for the six month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 may not necessarily be indicative of the operating results for the full year.

Reclassifications

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified for comparative purposes to conform to the presentation in the current year financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities – an Amendment of Statement No. 133 (SFAS No. 161). SFAS No. 161 enhances disclosure requirements about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS No. 133 and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. The Corporation has adopted SFAS No. 161 in connection with its financial statements for the quarter ending March 31, 2009. Disclosure information required by this pronouncement is included in Note 5 to these financial statements.

On April 9, 2009, the FASB finalized four FASB Staff Positions (“FSPs”) regarding the accounting treatment for investments including mortgage-backed securities. These FSPs changed the method for determining if an Other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) exists and the amount of OTTI to be recorded through an entity’s income statement. The changes brought about by the FSPs provide greater clarity and reflect a more accurate representation of the credit and noncredit components of an OTTI event. The four FSPs are as follows:

  • FSP “SFAS 157-3 Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset Is Not Active” clarifies the application of SFAS 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” in a market that is not active and provides an example to illustrate key considerations in determining the fair value of a financial asset when the market for that financial asset is not active.
  • FSP “SFAS 157-4 Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Assets or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly” provides guidelines for making fair value measurements more consistent with the principles presented in SFAS 157, “Fair Value Measurements.”
  • FSP “SFAS 115-2 and SFAS 124-2, Recognition and Presentation of Other-than-temporary impairments” provides additional guidance designed to create greater clarity and consistency in accounting for and presenting impairment losses on securities.
  • FSP “SFAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments” enhances consistency in financial reporting by increasing the frequency of fair value disclosures.

These staff positions are effective for financial statements issued for periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early application possible for the first quarter of 2009. The Company elected not to adopt any of the above positions early. The Company has not completed its evaluation of the impact of these standards on its results of operation and financial position.

Net Loans    $ 667,067,000    $ 757,461,000 
   
 

At June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, loans included fair value adjustments of $8,960,000 and $32,606,000, respectively, for loans hedged in accordance with SFAS No. 133.

At June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Company had loans amounting to approximately $157,367,000 and $89,934,000, respectively, which were specifically classified as loans that, when based upon current information and events, it is possible that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. At these dates, classified loans included $92,833,000 and $66,917,000 in impaired loans, respectively.

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 placed on nonaccrual status unless the loan is well secured and in the process of collection.

Interest income on impaired loans is recognized as earned on an accrual basis except for impaired loans that have been placed on nonaccrual status. $92,833,000 of the loans disclosed above was on nonaccrual status at June 30, 2009 compared to $44,134,000 at December 31, 2008. Interest income received on nonaccrual impaired loans is recognized as received on a cash basis.

At June 30, 2009, approximately $6,445,000 in additional funds was committed to be advanced in connection with impaired loans. The remaining commitments primarily relate to lines of credit, and some of these commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon. Therefore, the total commitments do not necessarily represent future required advances.

NOTE 4 - DISCLOSURES ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 has been applied prospectively as of the beginning of the year.

SFAS 157 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. SFAS 157 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2 Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for assets or liabilities, either directly or indirectly through corroboration with observable market data. Level 2 inputs include (a)quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, (b) quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, (c)inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (for example, interest rates and yield curves observable at commonly quoted intervals, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks, and default rates), and (d) inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

Level 3 Unobservable inputs used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available and that are supported by little or no market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date.

Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis and recognized in the accompanying balance sheet, as well as, the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy.

Available-for-sale (AFS) Securities

Where quoted market prices are available in an active market, securities are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. Level 1 securities include primarily highly liquid government bonds such as U.S. Treasury securities. If quoted market prices are not available, then fair values are estimated by using pricing models, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics or discounted cash flows. Level 2 securities include U.S. agency securities, mortgage-backed agency securities, collateralized mortgage obligations, obligations of states and political subdivisions, and asset-backed and other securities. In certain cases where Level 1 or Level 2 inputs are not available, securities are classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy. All AFS securities for the reporting period are categorized in Level 1 and 2.

Derivative Financial Instruments

Interest Rate Swaps – the fair value of interest rate swap agreements is determined based on the London Interbank Offering Rate (LIBOR) yield curve for assets and liabilities with equivalent maturities. The calculation estimates fair value by discounting the future cash flows due under agreement using the projected yield curve rate.

Interest Rate Caps – the fair value of interest rate cap agreements is determined based on the projected yield curve for assets and liabilities with equivalent maturities. The calculation estimates fair value by discounting the expected cash flows due under agreement using the projected yield curve rate.

Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis and recognized in the accompanying balance sheet, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy.

Impaired Loans

Loan impairment is determined when full payment under the loan terms is not expected to be probable. Impaired loans can be carried at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the current loan rate, or the fair value of collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. If the carrying value of loans has been determined based on observable market prices or fair values of collateral, these amounts fall within the scope of SFAS 157 as a fair value measurement. During the second quarter of 2009, certain loans were evaluated for impairment. In each case, the fair value of the loans was determined using the fair value of collateral as determined by an independent real estate appraiser using sales of comparable collateral. This valuation falls within the scope of Level 2 Inputs based upon value determination using the highest-and-best-use concept explained in SFAS 157.

NOTE 5 - DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

The Company uses derivative financial instruments in the form of interest rate swap agreements as a means of reducing volatility of certain asset and liability values caused by changes in interest rates. Interest rate swap agreements derive their value from underlying interest rates. These transactions involve both credit and market risk. The notional amounts are amounts on which calculations, payments, and the value of the derivative are based. Notional amounts do not represent direct credit exposures. Direct credit exposure is limited to the net difference between the calculated amounts to be received and paid, if any. Such difference, which represents the fair value of the derivative instruments, is reflected on the Company’s balance sheet as “Interest receivable and other assets” or “Accrued interest payable and other liabilities.”

The Company is exposed to credit-related losses in the event of nonperformance by the counterparties to these agreements. The Company controls the credit risk of its financial contracts through collateral requirements, credit approvals, limits and monitoring procedures, and does not expect any counterparties to fail their obligations. The Company deals only with primary dealers.

Interest Rate Risk Management - Cash Flow Hedging Instruments

The Company has one interest rate swap agreement with a third party to manage the interest rate change risk that may affect the amount of interest expense of our $10,000,000 variable-rate junior subordinated note. The interest rate swap agreement is a derivative financial instrument that qualifies as a cash flow hedge and is accounted for using the critical terms matched method under SFAS 133. Under an interest rate swap agreement, we agree to pay a series of fixed payments in exchange for receiving a series of floating rate payments based upon the three-month LIBOR from the third party.

Interest rate swap agreements are considered to be a hedge against changes in the amount of future cash flows associated with our interest expense for our trust preferred securities. Accordingly, the interest rate swap agreements 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 accumulated other comprehensive income. To the extent that this contract is 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 the ineffective portion of these contracts are immediately recognized in income.

At June 30, 2009, we had interest rate swap agreements that qualified as cash flow hedges on $10,000,000 notional amount of indebtedness. The fair value of the interest rate swaps that qualified as cash flow hedges was a liability of $905,000 and is included with accrued interest payable and other liabilities on the balance sheet. The net gain or loss on the ineffective portion of this interest rate swap agreement was not material for the quarter ended June 30, 2009. There were no other agreements outstanding at June 30, 2008.

To reduce credit risk associated with the use of derivatives, the company may deem it necessary to obtain collateral when the fair value of the derivative is an asset. When the fair value is a liability, the counterparty may deem it necessary to obtain collateral from us. The amount of the collateral is based upon the current credit exposure of each of the parties to the agreement. At June 30, 2009, 100% of San Joaquin Bancorp’s ownership interest in San Joaquin Bank was pledged by us as collateral for interest rate swap agreements.

Interest Rate Risk Management - Fair Value Hedging Instruments

The Company originates fixed and variable-rate loans. Fixed-rate loans expose the Company to variability in their fair value due to changes in the level of interest rates. Management believes that it is prudent to limit the variability in the fair value of a portion of its fixed-rate loan portfolio. It is the Company’s objective to hedge the change in fair value of fixed-rate loans at coverage levels that are appropriate, given anticipated or existing interest rate levels and other market considerations, as well as the relationship of change in value of the loans due to changes in expected interest rate assumptions. The Company utilizes interest rate swap agreements that provide for a series of fixed rate payments in exchange for receiving a series of floating rate payments based on the one-month or six-month LIBOR. These swap agreements are accounted for using the short-cut, long-haul, and offsetting derivatives methods under SFAS 133 as the designation requires for each separate agreement. In the second quarter of 2009, the Company elected to convert the

10


LIBOR index for $84,488,000 notional amount of interest rate swap agreements from a one-month index to a three-month index to achieve a projected improvement in yield. Consequently, the accounting treatment of those agreements converted changed from the short-cut method to the offsetting derivatives method. Under the offsetting derivatives method, the derivative portion of the yield maintenance agreement that represents a stream of payments to be received or paid in the future associated with the underlying hedged asset, the loan, is separated and carried at its market value at the balance sheet date. This market value of this derivative is reflected as other assets or other liabilities on the balance sheet based upon whether the fair value is positive or negative at the balance sheet reporting date.

The Company believes it is economically prudent to keep hedge coverage ratios at acceptable risk levels, which may vary depending on current and expected interest rate movement. For those loans management decides to hedge, hedging relationships are established on a loan-by-loan basis at the time the loan is originated.

As of June 30, 2009, we had interest rate swap agreements on $192,051,000 notional amount of indebtedness as compared to $194,560,000 at December 31, 2008. As of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the fair value of the swaps was a liability of $19,707,000 and $32,602,000, respectively, and is included with other liabilities on the balance sheet. At June 30, 2009, a corresponding fair value adjustment of $8,959,000 is included on the balance sheet with the fixed-rate loans for those agreements accounted for under the short-cut and long-haul methods, and a fair value adjustment of $10,750,000 is included in other assets for those agreements account for under the offsetting derivatives method for a combined total of $19,709,000. The difference of $2,000 represents ineffectiveness at June 30, 2009. The ineffective portion of the interest rate swap agreements was a $2,000 loss in 2009 compared to a $17,000 loss in 2008. The ineffect iveness was recognized as an adjustment to noninterest expense for the each of the respective periods.

To reduce credit risk associated with the use of derivatives, the company may deem it necessary to obtain collateral when the fair value of the derivative is an asset. When the fair value is a liability, the counterparty may deem it necessary to obtain collateral from us. The amount of the collateral is based upon the current credit exposure of each of the parties to the agreement. At June 30, 2009, investment securities with a market value of $26,845,000 were pledged by us as collateral for interest rate swap agreements.

NOTE 6 - 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 $133,758,000 and standby letters of credit of approximately $2,881,000, at June 30, 2009. However, all such commitments will not necessarily culminate in actual extensions of credit by the Company.

Approximately $35,854,000 of loan commitments outstanding at June 30, 2009 related to construction loans secured by real estate. 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 7 - 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.

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 periods ended June 30 is reconciled as follows:

    Quarter Ended June 30    Year to date June 30 
             2009    2008    2009    2008

For the quarter to date and year to date periods ended June 30, 2009, there were options to purchase 406,000 shares of common stock outstanding that were not considered in computing diluted earnings per share because they were antidilutive. For the quarter to date and year to date periods ended June 30, 2008, there were options to purchase 161,000 and 172,000 shares of common stock outstanding, respectively, that were not considered in computing diluted earnings per share because they were antidilutive.

NOTE 8 - COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

Comprehensive income is equal to net income plus the change in “other comprehensive income,” (“OCI”) as defined by SFAS No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income”. This statement requires the Company to report revenues, expenses, gains, and losses that are included in comprehensive income but not in net income in accordance with GAAP. The components of OCI include net unrealized gain or loss on interest-rate cap contracts (cash flow hedges) and available-for-sale investment securities and net gains or losses and prior service costs applicable to defined benefit post-retirement plans and other post-retirement benefits which are also recognized as separate components of equity.

NOTE 10 – MINIMUM CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS AND REGULATORY MATTERS

Minimum Capital Requirements and Capital Resources

Capital is a critical factor for the Company. Historically, the Company has generated capital through the retention of earnings, the issuance of trust preferred securities and the exercise of stock options. The current and projected capital position of the Company and the impact of capital plans and long-term strategies are reviewed regularly by management. The Company's capital position represents the level of capital available to support continued operations and potential expansion. The Company is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies and California Department of Financial Institutions. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by the regulators that, if undertaken, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The Company's primary capital resource is shareholders’ equity which was $37,238,000 at June 30, 2009 compared to $56,372,000 at December 31, 2008. The change is the result of the net loss for the first and second quarters and the increase in other comprehensive income for the quarter. Company management can employ various means to manage the Company's capital ratios including controlling asset growth and dividend payouts and raising additional capital.

In addition to shareholders' equity, the Company also has issued certain capital securities that qualify as either Tier 1 or Tier 2 capital under applicable regulatory guidelines. The capital securities consist of $10,000,000 in trust preferred securities, treated as Tier 1 capital, and a $6,000,000 subordinated note issued by the Bank, treated as Tier 2 capital.

At June 30, 2009, the Company's and Bank’s capital ratios were as follows:

        Actual         
   
    For Capital     To Be Categorized 
    Company        Bank    Adequacy Purposes    "Well Capitalized" 

 
   
 
 
Tier 1 leverage ratio    4.17%        4.12%    4%    5% 
Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets    4.64%        4.59%    4%    6% 
Total risk-based capital ratio    6.75%        6.70%    8%    10% 

As of June 30, 2009, the Company and the Bank were undercapitalized because they did not meet all applicable requirements necessary to be classified as “adequately capitalized.” This was the result of recognizing additional net losses and including additional amounts in our allowance for loan losses in the first quarter of 2009. As an undercapitalized Bank, certain restrictions are automatically applicable to the Bank under the federal Prompt Corrective Action statute (“PCA”). These restrictions prohibit the Bank, without prior approval, from paying dividends or making other capital distributions, increasing the Bank’s assets, expanding its operations through acquisitions or new branches or lines of business, and paying certain management fees to the Company. In addition, the Bank and the Company have submitted a capital restoration plan to the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco,

14


detailing the steps proposed by management to restore the Bank to the “well-capitalized” category. Currently, the Company’s and Bank’s tier 1 leverage and tier 1 risk-based capital ratios remain above “adequately capitalized” levels. However, the respective total risk-based capital ratios are below “adequately capitalized” levels. Accordingly, unless the Company raises significant amounts of equity capital and begins to return to profitability, there is a substantial risk that the Company’s and the Bank’s total risk-based capital ratios will remain below “adequately capitalized” levels and our banking regulators may deem our proposed capital restoration plan to be unacceptable.

In 2009, Management developed a capital strategy and a capital restoration plan to enhance capital balances, improve capital ratios, and restore the Company’s capital to a level necessary to be considered “well capitalized.” Based upon our financial position as of June 30, 2009, management projects the Company will require an equity infusion of approximately $34.5 million, net of transaction costs, of which approximately $33.8 million would be contributed to the Bank as tier 1 capital, in order to return the Company and the Bank to “well capitalized” status. Longer term, management’s capital strategy includes goals to attain minimum capital ratios for tier 1 leverage, tier 1 risk-based capital and total risk-based capital of 8%, 9%, and 12%, respectively, by the end of 2009 The Company intends to raise additional capital through the issuance of common stock or preferred stock in order to increase its capital, however, there can be no assurance that any capital can be raised or, if raised, that the terms associated with such equity will not materially adversely impact the Company’s results of operations and cause significant dilution to the interests of the Company’s existing shareholders.

To preserve capital, the Company’s board of directors suspended cash dividend payments for 2009 and it is unlikely that cash dividends will be declared or paid on our common stock in 2010. Additionally, effective March 31, 2009, the Company suspended quarterly interest payments on its trust preferred securities for at least eight (8) consecutive quarters pursuant to a right to suspend such payments in the documentation for such securities. Suspended quarterly interest payments accrue at a variable quarterly interest rate of Libor plus 1.60 basis points compounded quarterly from the date payment was otherwise due and payable until the date paid. The Company has the right to elect to defer the quarterly interest payment on its trust preferred securities for up twenty (20) calendar quarters provided that no event of default is deemed to have occurred (as defined in the applicable documentation). Thus, the Company could elect to defer quarterly interest payments for up to an additional twelve (12) quarters.

Subordinated Note

On April 5, 2004, the Bank issued a $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 $10,000,000 of floating rate trust preferred securities issued by the Trust and guaranteed by the Company. On September 1, 2006, the Trust issued $10,000,000 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.

15


The Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco has advised the Company that the trust preferred securities are eligible as tier 1 capital.

Regulatory Matters

On April 7, 2009, the Company and its banking subsidiary (“Bank”) mutually agreed to enter into a joint written agreement (“Agreement”) with the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco (the “FRB”) and the California Department of Financial Institutions (the “DFI”). The Agreement was based, in part, on certain findings of the FRB in its report of examination that commenced on October 20, 2008. The Company and the Bank are taking steps that they believe will comply with the provisions of the Agreement. A copy of the Agreement was attached as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company’s current report on Form 8-K which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on April 10, 2009. All descriptions herein of the Agreement and its provisions are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Agreement as filed with the SEC.

Under the terms of the Agreement, the Bank agreed to take certain actions within sixty days of the date of the Agreement, including, submission of: (1) a written plan to strengthen board oversight of the management and operations of the Bank and enhancement of the Bank’s credit administration and loan workout staff; (2) a written plan to strengthen credit risk management practices; (3) revised policies and procedures to address loan underwriting and loan modification, interest reserves, capitalization of interest and OREO; (4) a written program to enhance the loan review function; (5) a written plan to improve the Bank’s position on each loan in excess of $750,000 that is past due by 90 days or more, on the Bank’s problem loan list or adversely classified (referred to collectively herein as “Larger Problem Loans”); (6) a revised methodology related to the allowance for loan and lease losses ; (7) a written strategic plan to improve the Bank’s earnings and a 2009 budget; and (8) a written plan to improve management of the Bank’s liquidity position and funds management practices.

Bancorp agreed that within sixty days of the Agreement it would submit a joint written plan to the FRB and DFI designed to maintain sufficient capital at Bancorp on a consolidated basis and the Bank as a separate stand alone entity. The Agreement does not mandate any minimum capital levels but requires that the plan address Bancorp’s current and future capital requirements, the Bank’s current and future capital requirements, the adequacy of the Bank’s capital taking into account its risk profile and the source and timing of additional funds to satisfy Bancorp’s and the Bank’s future capital requirements. Bancorp and the Bank also agreed not to declare or pay dividends without prior approval of the FRB and, as to the Bank, the DFI. Bancorp further agreed not to make any distributions of interest or principal on subordinated debentures or trust preferred securities and not to incur or increase debt or redeem its stock without the prior approval of the FRB. The Bank will submit regular quarterly progress reports to the FRB and the DFI.

In connection with the Bank’s classified loans, the Bank agreed to (1) refrain from extending or renewing credit to any borrower, or any related interest of the borrower, who is obligated to the Bank on any extension of credit where any portion of said loan has been charged off or classified, in whole or in part, as loss as long as such credit remains uncollected without second obtaining the FRB’s and DFI’s consent; (2) obtain the approval of the Bank’s Board of Directors or the Bank’s Loan Committee prior to extending or renewing any credit to any borrower, or any related interest of the borrower, whose credit is classified as doubtful or substandard; and (3) update the FRB and DFI quarterly with respect to its progress in connection with all Larger Problem Loans and include updated lists as to all problem, past due and nonaccrual loans.

Under certain circumstances, the FRB and the DFI have the legal authority to impose additional formal enforcement actions against the Company and Bank upon determining that either or both entities have further financial or managerial deficiencies or if the provisions of the Agreement are violated or if the FRB finds our proposed capital restoration plan submitted pursuant to the PCA statute to be unacceptable. Enforcement actions can include, among other things, cease and desist orders, capital directives and civil money penalty actions. If the Bank or the Company fails to comply with or breaches the requirements in the Agreement, under the PCA statute, or any subsequent order or directive, the regulators may take further action to remedy or resolve such failures or breaches which could materially adversely impact the prospects, business and future operations of the Company and Bank and could threaten the Company’s and the Bank’s viability as going concerns.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

This report 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 revenues, earnings 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 -- 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, among others, certain credit, market, operational, liquidity and regulatory risks associated with our business as well as price volatility, availability of credit, illiquid markets, reputatational risks, changes in business or economic conditions internationally, nationally or in California, changes in the interest rate environment, access to and the cost of capital, potential acts of terrorism and actions taken in response; fluctuations in asset prices including, but not limited to, stocks, bonds, commodities or other securities, and real estate; volatility of rate sensitive deposits and investments; concentrations of real estate collateral securing many of our loans; deterioration in the credit quality of some of our borrowers, rising unemployment rates, operational risks including data processing system failures and fraud; accounting estimates and judgments; compliance costs associated with regulatory requirements and the internal control structure 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 Cautionary Factors That May Affect Future Results” in Item 1A and elsewhere in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and in Part II, Item 1A of this report, under the caption “Risk Factors”.

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 except as required by law. You are advised, however, to consult any further disclosures we make on related subjects in future periodic reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K filed with the SEC.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report on Form 10-Q. The results of operations for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 may not necessarily be indicative of the operating results for the full year.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The financial information and disclosures contained within those statements are significantly impacted by Management’s estimates, assumptions, and judgments. These estimates, assumptions, and judgments are based upon historical experience and various other factors available as of the date of the financial statements; accordingly, as this information changes, the financial statements could reflect different estimates, assumptions, and judgments. Certain policies inherently have a greater reliance on the use of estimates, assumptions and judgments and as such have a greater possibility of producing results that could be materially different than originally reported. In addition, GAAP itself may change from one previously acceptable method to another method.

The most significant accounting policies followed by the Company are presented in Note 1 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements and the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto as well as other information included in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. These policies, along with the disclosures presented in the other financial statement notes and in this discussion, provide information on how significant assets and liabilities are valued in the financial statements and how those values are determined.

General Overview

For the second quarter of 2009, our primary focus areas were capital adequacy, improving asset quality, and maintaining sufficient liquidity. These areas are considered most important due to additional losses incurred by the Company in the second quarter resulting from increases in adversely classified loans and impairment of a portion of those loans. The current state of the economy and real estate market remain a concern and could continue to adversely affect asset quality and earnings potential for the remainder of 2009. However, recent positive indicators such as housing starts and existing home sales have shown slight improvement and other economic indicators such as unemployment and GDP are showing signs that the recession may be easing. During the second quarter, the Company charged off an additional $3.6 million in loans and a recorded a corresponding provision for loan losses of $6.8 million, the net loss for the quarter was $1.82 million compared to a second quarter 2008 net profit of $2.64 million. Earnings per share, both basic and diluted, for the second quarter of 2009 reflected a loss of $0.46. For the second quarter of 2008, earnings per share, basic and diluted, were $0.67 and $0.65, respectively.

During the second quarter, we recognized additional impairment of classified construction loans due to reduced collateral values based, in part, upon appraisals reflecting valuations deemed to be applicable to the quarter. Our earnings continue to be adversely impacted due to increased levels of impaired loans, charge offs, placement of loans on nonaccrual status and additions to our allowance for loan losses. We anticipate that loan and deposit growth will slow or contract during 2009 as we focus on improving our asset quality and funding base, preserving and increasing capital, and maintaining liquidity. Deposits decreased by approximately 11% in the second quarter of 2009 primarily because of declines in traditional brokered deposits and Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Service (CDARS) deposits that the Company was not allowed to renew during the second quarter for regulatory reasons due to the Company’s total risk-based capital level falling below 8%, the regulatory minimum to be considered “adequate” for regulatory purposes. As of June 30, 2009, Tier 1 leverage and tier 1 risk-based capital ratios remained above 4%, the regulatory minimum to be considered “adequate” for regulatory purposes. Liquidity remained sufficient throughout the quarter because of liquidity sources available and maturing investment securities.

The Company’s shareholders’ equity declined to $37.0 million versus $56.4 million reported at December 31, 2008. Capital ratios declined due to the reduction in shareholders’ equity caused by our loss for the year to date period ended June 30, 2009 offset somewhat by a lower total assets compared to December 31, 2008 levels. In the second quarter of 2009 and as of the date of this report, our primary focus continues to be raising capital to improve capital ratios above the well-capitalized levels for tier I leverage of 5%, tier I risk-based capital of 6%, and total risk-based capital of 10%. On July 20, 2009, we announced that we had entered into definitive stock purchase agreements with investors in connection with a private placement of $38 million of common stock at $4.68 per share. Our current report on Form 8-K, which was filed with the SEC on July 22, 2009 and the discussion below under “Capital Resources”, provides additional information related to this transaction. As of the date of this report, the investors had not fully satisfied certain conditions that are necessary prior to consummation of the transaction. Management continues to pursue other strategies designed to strengthen capital, improve liquidity, and manage classified loans and credit risk, although there can be no assurance that we will be successful in these efforts.

On April 7, 2009 the Company and its wholly owned banking subsidiary mutually agreed to enter into a joint written agreement with the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco and the California Department of Financial Institutions. See the section below entitled “Regulatory Matters” for more information.

Financial Overview

At June 30, 2009, we had total consolidated assets of $834,054,000, a decrease of 10.9% compared to $936,008,000 at year-end 2008, total consolidated net loans of $667,067,000, a decrease of 11.9% compared to $757,461,000 at year-end 2008, total consolidated deposits of $686,103,000, a decrease of 10.6% over $767,458,000 at year-end 2008, and consolidated shareholders’ equity of $37,046,000, a decrease of 34.3% compared to $56,372,000 at year-end 2008.

We experienced a quarterly net loss of $1,824,000 for the second quarter of 2009 compared to net income of $2,643,000 reported in the second quarter of 2008 a decrease of $4,467,000 or 169.0% . Diluted earnings per share were $(0.46) for the second quarter of 2009 and $0.65 for the second quarter of 2008. For the second quarter of 2009, the annualized return on average equity (ROAE) and return on average assets (ROAA) were -18.88% and -0.86%, respectively, compared to 17.98% and 1.18%, respectively, for the same period in 2008. During the quarter, net income decreased primarily due to an increase in the amount of the provision for loan losses which was $6,788,000

18


compared to $218,000 for the second quarter of 2008, an increase of $6,570,000 ($3,558,000, net of taxes). The remainder of the decrease was from various sources including a decline in interest income for loans placed on nonaccrual, an increase in FDIC deposit insurance expense, and various other items described below.

For the six months ended June 30, 2009, we recorded a net loss of $20,035,000 compared to net income of $5,230,000 reported in the same period of 2008. Diluted earnings per share were $(5.09) and $1.29 for the year-to-date periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

For the six months ended June 30, 2009, ROAE and ROAA were -84.57% and -4.57%, respectively, compared to 18.18% and 1.18% for the same period in 2008.

Net interest income, before provision for loan losses, was $6,087,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 compared to $8,575,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2008, a decrease of $2,488,000, or 29.0% . For the year to date period ended June 30, 2009, net interest income, before provision for loan losses, was $12,660,000 compared to $16,189,000 for the same period in 2008, a decrease of 4,159,000, or 24.7% .

Interest Income – Second quarter 2009 Compared to 2008

Total interest income for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 was $8,805,000 compared to $12,939,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2008, a decrease of $4,134,000 or 31.0% . Changes in interest income are, generally, the result of changes in the average balances and changes in average yields on earning assets. The decline in interest income was primarily the result of a reduction of the prime lending rate from 5.25% at June 30, 2008 to 3.25% at June 30, 2009. Increases in loans placed on nonaccrual also contributed to the decrease in interest income. The effects on interest income related to changes in volume of assets and changes in rates are included in the Summary of Changes in Interest Income and Expense above. During the second quarter of 2009, total average earning assets were $805,388,000 compared to $845,863,000 during the second quarter of 2008, a decrease of $40,475,000, or 4.9% . During the same period, the average rate re ceived on earning assets decreased from 6.15% to 4.39%, or 176 basis points. Of the decrease in interest income, $3,711,000 was due to variances in the average rate earned on earning assets and $423,000 was due to variances in the average balances of earning assets. Loans were the component of earning assets that contributed the majority of the decrease in interest income. Year-over-year, we experienced changes in average balances and average yields on these balances as follows:

During the second quarter of 2009, average loans, net of deferred fees and costs, were $742,828,000 compared to $750,396,000 during the second quarter of 2008, a decrease of $7,568,000, or 1.0% . The decreased volume of loans resulted in a decrease in interest earned on average loans of $118,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2009, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2008. During this same time period, the average yield earned on average loans decreased from 6.39% to 4.52% . This 187 basis point decrease in average yield resulted in a decrease of $3,430,000 in interest earned on average net loans during the second quarter of 2009 compared to the second quarter

23


of 2008. The net result was a decrease of $3,548,000 in interest earned on average net loans during the second quarter of 2009 compared with the same period of 2008.

Average taxable investment securities during the second quarter of 2009 were $57,835,000 compared to $90,995,000 during the same period of 2008, a decrease of $33,160,000, or 36.4% . This decrease in volume resulted in a decrease in interest earned on average taxable securities of $290,000 during the second quarter of 2009 compared to the second quarter of 2008. During the same period, average yield earned on average taxable securities decreased by 145 basis points, resulting in a decrease of $271,000 in interest earned on average taxable securities during the second quarter of 2009, compared to the same period of 2008. The net result was a decrease of $561,000 in interest earned on average taxable securities during the second quarter of 2009, compared to the second quarter of 2008.

During the second quarter of 2009, average Federal Funds sold and other interest-bearing balances were $2,887,000 compared to $427,000 during the same period of 2008, an increase of $2,460,000, or 576.1% . This increase in volume resulted in an increase in interest earned of $6,000 during the second quarter of 2009 compared to the second quarter of 2008. During the same period, average yield earned on these balances decreased by 551 basis points, resulting in a decrease of $11,000 in interest income during the second quarter of 2009, compared to the same period of 2008. The net result was a decrease of $5,000 in interest earned on Federal Funds sold and other interest-bearing balances during the second quarter of 2009, compared to the second quarter of 2008.

The tax-exempt securities did not materially contribute to changes in net interest income for June 30, 2009 compared to June 30, 2008.

Interest Expense - Second quarter 2009 Compared to 2008

Total interest expense for the second quarter of 2009 was $2,718,000 compared to $4,364,000 for the second quarter of 2008, a decrease of $1,646,000, or 37.7% . 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 second quarter of 2009, total average interest-bearing liabilities were $614,319,000 compared to $657,772,000 during the second quarter of 2008, a decrease of $43,453,000, or 6.6% . During the same period, the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities decreased from 2.67% to 1.77%, or 90 basis points. Of the decrease in interest expense, $207,000 was due to variances in the volume of interest-bearing liabilities and $1,439,000 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 decreased from $271,886,000 during the second quarter of 2008 to $180,841,000 during the second quarter of 2009, an decrease of $91,045,000, or 33.5% . This decreased volume of deposits resulted in a decrease in interest expense of $462,000 during the second quarter of 2009 compared to the second quarter of 2008, while the 141 basis point decrease in interest rates during the same period caused interest expense to decrease by $755,000. The net result was a decrease in interest expense on average NOW and money market accounts of $1,217,000 during the second quarter of 2009, compared to the second quarter of 2008.

Average savings deposits decreased during the second quarter of 2009 to $151,562,000, compared to $187,021,000 during the second quarter of 2008, a decrease of $35,459,000, or 19.0% . Because of the decrease in average savings deposits, interest expense decreased $204,000 during the second quarter of 2009, compared to the second quarter of 2008. Interest rates during this same period decreased by 54 basis points, resulting in a decrease in interest expense of $222,000 in the second quarter of 2009, compared to the second quarter of 2008. The net result was a decrease of $426,000 in interest expense on average savings deposits during the second quarter of 2009 versus the second quarter of 2008.

Average time deposits during the second quarter of 2009 increased to $234,566,000, compared to $114,879,000 during the second quarter of 2008, an increase of $119,687,000, or 104.2% . The increase was due to attraction of new deposits and from the movement of existing deposits from money market and savings accounts to CDARS accounts to obtain FDIC deposit insurance coverage on all such deposits. This increase in average time deposits caused interest expense to increase by $669,000 in the second quarter of 2009 compared to the second quarter of 2008, and the 95 basis point decrease in interest rates on average time deposits caused interest expense to decrease by $337,000 during

24


this same time period. These two factors resulted in the net increase in interest expense on average time deposits of $332,000 in the second quarter of 2009 compared to the second quarter of 2008.

Average other borrowings decreased during the second quarter of 2009 to $47,350,000 compared to $83,986,000 during the second quarter of 2008, a decrease of $36,636,000, or 43.6% . The decrease in average other borrowings was primarily the result of a decrease in Federal Home Loan Bank Advances. The decrease in average other borrowings resulted in a decrease in interest expense of $210,000 during the second quarter of 2009, compared to the second quarter of 2008, while a 71 basis point decrease in interest rates paid on average other borrowings caused interest expense to decrease by $125,000 during this same year-over-year time period. The net result was a decrease of $335,000 in interest expense on other borrowings during the second quarter of 2009 compared to the second quarter of 2008.

Interest Income – Year to Date 2009 Compared to 2008

Total interest income for the year to date period ended June 30, 2009 was $18,728,000 compared to $27,042,000 for the same period in 2008, a decrease of $8,314,000 or 30.7% . Changes in interest income are, generally, the result of changes in the average balances and changes in average yields on earning assets. The decline in interest income was primarily the result of a decrease in the interest rate environment that occurred between June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2009. Increases in loans placed on nonaccrual also contributed to the decrease in interest income. The effects on interest income related to changes in volume of assets and changes in rates are included in the Summary of Changes in Interest Income and Expense above. During the second quarter of 2009, total average earning assets were $832,181,000 compared to $837,151,000 during the second quarter of 2008, a decrease of $4,970,000, or 0.6% . During the same period, the average rate received on earning assets decreased from 7.46% to 4.54%, or 196 basis points. Of the decrease in interest income, $8,432,000 was due to variances in the average rate earned on earning assets which was partially offset by an increase of $118,000 due to variances in the average balances and mix of earning assets. Loans were the component of earning assets that contributed the majority of the decrease in interest income. Year-over-year, we experienced changes in average balances and average yields on these balances as follows:

During the year-to-date period ended June 30, 2009, average loans, net of deferred fees and costs, were $755,260,000 compared to $735,927,000 during the same period in 2008, an increase of $19,333,000, or 2.6% . The increased volume of loans resulted in an increase in interest earned on average loans of $630,000 during the year-to-date period ended June 30, 2009, compared to the same period in 2008. During this same time period, the average yield earned on average loans decreased from 6.80% to 4.73% . This 207 basis point decrease in average yield resulted in a decrease of $7,800,000 in interest earned on average net loans during in 2009 compared to 2008. The net result was a decrease of $7,170,000 in interest earned on average net loans during the second quarter of 2009 compared with the same period of 2008.

Average taxable investment securities during the year-to-date period ended June 30, 2009 were $68,538,000 compared to $96,118,000 during the same period of 2008, a decrease of $27,580,000, or 28.7% . This decrease in volume resulted in a decrease in interest earned on average taxable securities of $505,000 during 2009 compared to 2008. During the same period, average yield earned on average taxable securities decreased by 151 basis points, resulting in a decrease of $611,000 in interest earned on average taxable securities during the second quarter of 2009, compared to the same period of 2008. The net result was a decrease of $1,116,000 in interest earned on average taxable securities during the year-to-date period ended June 30, 2009, compared to 2008.

Tax-exempt securities and federal funds sold and other interest-bearing balances did not materially contribute to changes in net interest income for June 30, 2009 compared to June 30, 2008.

Interest Expense – Year to Date 2009 Compared to 2008

Total interest expense for the year-to-date period ended June 30, 2009 was $6,068,000 compared to $10,223,000 for 2008, a decrease of $4,155,000, or 40.6% . Changes in interest expense are the result of changes in the average balances and changes in average rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities. During 2009, total average interest-bearing liabilities were $630,881,000 compared to $654,876,000 during 2008, a decrease of $23,995,000, or 3.7% . During the period, the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities decreased from 3.14% to 1.94%, or 120 basis points. Of the decrease in interest expense, $458,000 was due to variances in the volume of interest-bearing liabilities which was partly offset by a decrease of $3,697,000 due to variances in the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities. Major

25


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 decreased from $276,261,000 during the year-to-date period ended June 30, 2008 to $204,019,000 during 2009, a decrease of $72,242,000, or 26.1% . This decreased volume of deposits resulted in a decrease in interest expense of $917,000 during 2009 compared to 2008, while the 163 basis point decrease in interest rates during the same period caused interest expense to decrease by $1,847,000. The net result was a decrease in interest expense on average NOW and money market accounts of $2,764,000 during 2009, compared to 2008.

Average savings deposits decreased during the year-to-date period ended June 30, 2009 to $150,892,000, compared to $192,867,000 during 2008, a decrease of $41,975,000, or 21.8% . Because of the decrease in average savings deposits, interest expense decreased $557,000 during 2009, compared to 2008. During this same period, interest rates decreased by 98 basis points, resulting in a decrease in interest expense of $819,000 in 2009, compared to 2008. The net result was a decrease of $1,376,000 in interest expense on average savings deposits during the second quarter of 2009 versus the second quarter of 2008.

Average time deposits during the year-to-date period ended June 30, 2009 increased to $232,285,000, compared to $103,658,000 during the second quarter of 2008, an increase of $128,627,000, or 124.1% . The increase was due to attraction of new deposits and from movement of existing deposits from money market and savings accounts to CDARS accounts to obtain FDIC deposit insurance coverage on all such deposits. This increase in average time deposits caused interest expense to increase by $1,539,000 in 2009 compared to 2008, and the 108 basis point decrease in interest rates on average time deposits caused interest expense to decrease by $696,000 during this same time period. These two factors resulted in the net increase in interest expense on average time deposits of $843,000 in the year-to-date period ended June 30, 2009 compared to the same period in 2008.

Average other borrowings decreased during the year-to-date period ended June 30, 2009 to $43,685,000 compared to $82,090,000 during the same period in 2008, a decrease of $38,405,000, or 46.8% . The decrease in average other borrowings was primarily the result of a decrease in Federal Home Loan Bank Advances. The decrease in average other borrowings resulted in a decrease in interest expense of $523,000 during the second quarter of 2009, compared to the second quarter of 2008, while a 100 basis point decrease in interest rates paid on average other borrowings caused interest expense to decrease by $335,000 during this same year-over-year time period. The net result was a decrease of $858,000 in interest expense on other borrowings during the second quarter of 2009 compared to the second quarter of 2008.

Net Interest Margin

The annualized net interest margin, net interest income divided by average earning assets, for the second quarter of 2009 was 3.03% compared to 4.08% for the second quarter of 2008, a decrease of 104 basis points. For the year-to-date period ended June 30, 2009, the annualized net interest margin was 3.07% compared to 4.04% in 2008, a decrease of 96 basis points. These decreases were primarily the result of decreased yields on earning assets, primarily loans, increase in nonaccrual loans, and higher cost of funding due to increased liquidity needs. The current rate environment and the economic downturn could, in Management’s view, exert continued pressure on net interest margin potentially resulting in a slightly declining margin for the remainder of 2009.

Provision for Loan Losses

We made a $6,788,000 addition to the allowance for loan losses in the second quarter of 2009 compared to an addition of $218,000 in the second quarter of 2008. For the year-to-date period ended June 30, 2009, the provision was $43,819,000 compared to $328,000 in 2008. The provision for loan losses for the second quarter of 2009 increased due to potential increased credit risk on existing loans which resulted in an increase in the general reserve allocation and an increase in the specific reserve allocation for impaired loans. The provision for loan losses is based upon in-depth analysis, in which Management considers many factors, including changes in historical loss ratios, concentration risks, lending policies and procedures, local and regional economic conditions, nature of the portfolio and terms of loans, experience, ability and depth of lending management, credit quality, quality of the loan review system, collateral values, and effects of other external factors, such as, competition and legal and regulatory requirements related to our

26


allowance for loan losses. Based upon information known to management at the date of this report, management believes that these additions to the total allowance for loan losses provides the Company with an adequate reserve to absorb losses inherent in the loan portfolio as of June 30, 2009. The total allowance for loan losses was $45,024,000 at June 30, 2009, compared to $15,537,000 at December 31, 2008, an increase of $29,487,000, or 189.8% . The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to total loans, net of unearned income, was 6.32% at June 30, 2009 and 2.01% at December 31, 2008. For further information regarding our allowance for loan losses, see the “Classified Loans”, “Impaired Loans”, and “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 $727,000 in the second quarter of 2009, which was a decrease of $151,000, or 17.2%, over $878,000 in the second quarter of 2008. Service charges and fees on deposits increased $74,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the same period of 2008. Other customer service fees were down $72,000 in the second quarter of 2009 as compared to the second quarter of 2008. All other noninterest income decreased $153,000 during the second quarter of 2009 compared to the second quarter of 2008. The decrease in all other noninterest income was due to a decrease in income on cash surrender value of life insurance and a decrease in FHLB dividends.

For the year-to-date period ended June 30, 2009, noninterest income was 2,342,000 compared to $1,648,000 in 2008. Service charges and fees on deposits increased $179,000 during the year to date period ended June 30, 2009 compared to the same period of 2008, an increase of 33.3% . Other customer service fees were down $116,000 in 2009 as compared to the second quarter of 2008. All other noninterest income increased $631,000 during the second quarter of 2009 compared to the second quarter of 2008. Other noninterest income included $773,000 of income from the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary Farmersville Village Grove Associates due to a gain on sale of real estate during the first quarter of 2009. The transaction had been pending for over a year as initially disclosed on a Form 8-K filing on August 28, 2007 and, subsequently, in other periodic reports. Also included in other noninterest income for the year to date period ended June 30, 2009 was a net gain on sale of available-for-sale investment securities of $190,000.

Noninterest Expense

As compared to the second quarter of 2008, noninterest expense increased $978,000, or 21.6%, from $4,534,000 to a total of $5,512,000 in the second quarter of 2009. Noninterest expense primarily consists of salary and employee benefits, occupancy and furniture and equipment expense, promotional expenses, professional expenses, and other miscellaneous noninterest expenses. The increase in noninterest expense for the comparative quarters was the result of the following:

Salary and employee benefits decreased $286,000, or 10.4%, to $2,461,000 during the second quarter of 2009 as compared to $2,747,000 the second quarter of 2008. The decrease in salary and employee benefits was due primarily to the elimination of bonus accruals for officers for second quarter of 2009. Salary and employee benefits expense also includes compensation expense from granting of incentive stock options under SFAS 123R of $58,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Year to date, salary and employee benefits were $4,539,000 and $5,503,000 for 2009 and 2008, respectively, a decrease of 17.5% .

Occupancy and furniture and equipment expense increased by $56,000, to $616,000 during the second quarter of 2009 compared to $560,000 for the second quarter of 2008. The increase was primarily due to increases in depreciation expenses associated with the opening of the new branch as well as increases in software maintenance expense. For the year to date period ended June 30, 2009, occupancy and furniture and equipment expenses were $1,222,000 compared to $1,083,000 in 2008, an increase of $139,000.

Promotional expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 were $161,000, a decrease of $13,000, or 7.5%, as compared to $174,000 in the same period in the prior year. Year to date, promotional expenses were $332,000 and $347,000 in 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Professional expenses were $759,000 for the second quarter of 2009, an increase of $388,000, or 104.6% as compared to $371,000 in the second quarter of 2008. The increase in professional expense was primarily the result of an increase

27


in legal fees associated with regulatory compliance and loan workouts. Year to date, professional expenses were $1,142,000 and $690,000, respectively, an increase of 65.5% .

Other expenses for the second quarter of 2009 totaled $1,515,000, which was an increase of $833,000, or 122.1%, compared to $682,000 in the second quarter of 2008. The majority of the increase was the result of an increase in FDIC deposit insurance premiums for 2009 as compared to 2008 and a loss of $141,000 resulting from a customer’s failure to satisfy its obligations to the Bank under a standby letter of credit that had been issued by the Bank to a third party on behalf of the customer. Year to date, other noninterest expenses were $2,977,000 and $1,298,000, respectively, an increase of 129.4% .

The efficiency ratio for the three month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 were 80.89% and 47.96%, respectively. The efficiency ratio for the year to date periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 were 68.07% and 48.31%, respectively. The decrease in the efficiency ratio for the current year was the result of the increase in noninterest expense, combined with the effect of the decrease in net interest income before the provision for loan losses.

Provision for Income Taxes

The Company recorded an income tax benefit of $3,662,000 in the second quarter of 2009 compared to income tax expense of $2,058,000 in the second quarter of 2008, which was a decrease in the provision for income taxes of $5,720,000 or (277.9%) . Year to date in 2009, the company recorded an income tax benefit of $18,994,000 compared to income tax expense of $3,988,000 in 2008, which was a decrease in the provision for income taxes of $22,982,000, or 576.3% . The decrease in income tax expense was primarily attributable to the additional provision for loan losses, which resulted in an increase in the total federal and state deferred tax benefit recorded for 2009 as compared to the same period in the prior year. The remainder of the decrease was attributable to the deferred tax benefit recorded on the increase in nonaccrual interest which resulted in an increase in total federal and state deferred tax benefit along with various other temporary differences. For current income tax purposes, the interest that would have accrued on loans placed on nonaccrual status must be included in the computation of taxable income for federal and state purposes. However, under SFAS 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, deferred taxes are recorded for all temporary differences as long as it is more likely than not that the benefit recorded will eventually be realized. As of June 30, 2009, the Company has net taxable income for current income tax purposes due to the deferral of deductions for temporary differences. The Company does anticipate that these temporary differences will eventually reverse as the items giving rise to the deferral are realized. Under current federal and state tax laws, a net operating loss is allowed to be carried back for two years preceding the current year to recapture taxes paid and carried forward for 20 years to offset future taxable income. Based upon an analysis of income taxes paid in the two years preceding the current year, the Company has sufficient taxable income and taxes paid to allow for the current tax benefit recorded in the second quarter of 2009 to be fully realized.

Under SFAS 109, the Company must evaluate the amount recorded as a deferred tax asset at the end of each accounting period to determine if there is available evidence based on existing tax laws for deducting NOL carry backs and assessing future taxable income that will allow realization of amounts recorded. If in future accounting periods, it is determined that any portion of the deferred tax asset recorded is less likely to be realized, a valuation allowance must be recorded to reduce the total deferred tax asset balance to the amount determined more likely than not to be realized in future periods.

The Company has not recorded a valuation allowance at June 30, 2009 for the future realization of these tax benefits as it believes it is more likely than not that these tax benefits will ultimately be realized. If the Company reports losses in future periods, the Company could be required to reevaluate the assumptions related to future income projection which could result in the establishment of a valuation allowance to the extent that the realization of deferred tax assets becomes less likely than not.

The effective tax rates for the three month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 were (66.8%) and 43.8%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the year to date period ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 were (48.7%) and 43.3% . The high effective tax rate for the three month period ended June 30, 2009 were the result of the larger effect of temporary differences on the provision for income tax (numerator) relative to lower net income before taxes (denominator).

Securities

At June 30, 2009, held-to-maturity securities had a market value of $38,817,000 with an amortized cost basis of $38,806,000. On an amortized cost basis, the held-to-maturity investment portfolio decreased $50,371,000 from the December 31, 2008 balance of $89,177,000, a decrease of 56.5% . This decrease included a transfer of held-to-maturity securities with an amortized cost of $17,705,000 to available-for-sale. This reclassification resulted from Management’s decision to partially restructure the portfolio primarily due to changing economic conditions and the overall downsizing of the Company’s earning asset mix as well as to enhance liquidity. The remainder of the decrease in the held-to-maturity portfolio was due to the maturity of U.S. Government Agency securities, principal payments and amortization of net premiums on securities. The unrealized pretax gain on held-to-maturity securities at June 30, 2009 was $11,000, as compared to a loss of $514,000 at December 31, 2008. The unrealized pretax gain was caused by the general decrease in interest rates on comparable financial instruments with similar remaining maturities. As a general rule, the market price of fixed rate investment securities will increase as interest rates decline and decrease as interest rates rise. Inasmuch as these investment securities are classified as held-to-maturity, unrealized gains or losses on these securities are not recognized.

At June 30, 2009, available-for-sale securities had a market value of $16,136,000 compared to a market value at December 31, 2008 of $6,335,000. The increase in available for sale securities was the result of transfers of securities from the held to maturity portfolio and purchase of new securities, which was partially off set by the sale primarily of municipal securities. The held-to-maturity securities transferred to available-for-sale during the second quarter of 2009 were sold in the same quarter for a net gain. The unrealized pretax loss on available-for-sale securities at June 30, 2009 was $196,000 compared to an unrealized pretax loss of $167,000 at December 31, 2008. Unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities are included in accumulated other comprehensive income in shareholders’ equity on an after-tax basis. The Company classifies 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 June 30, 2009 was $712,091,000 which was a decrease of $60,907,000, or 7.9% from the year-end 2008 balance of $772,998,000. Since year-end 2008, significant changes in our loan portfolio were as follows: real estate loans have decreased from $657,984,000 at December 31, 2008 to $609,065,000 at June 30, 2009, a decrease of $48,919,000 or 4.7%; commercial loans have decreased from $84,998,000 at December 31, 2008 to $74,605,000 at June 30, 2009, a decrease of $10,393,000 or 12.2%; and, loans to finance agricultural production have decreased from $25,080,000 at December 31, 2008 to $23,476,000, a decrease of $1,604,000 or 6.4% . The decrease in loans was primarily the result of a decrease in fair value adjustments for loans that are hedged, charge offs of impaired loans, and a planned decrease in lending volume. The planned decrease in lending was intended to enhance our liquidity position and increase our capital ratios by decreasing our total assets.

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 are 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 recently implemented an enhanced loan review and grading system that is designed 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, real estate development 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 $661,578,000 at June 30, 2009. Management believes that this loan concentration presents a higher risk of collectability in connection with certain of these loans due to substantial recent declines in the economy in general, a decline in real estate values in our primary market area in particular, increases in unemployment and continued

29


illiquidity in the local real estate market. The ultimate recovery of many 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 collectability of real estate loans and include the potential effects of these factors in the analysis of the allowance for loan and lease losses, which is discussed in detail below. When, in our judgment, these loans are impaired, a valuation allowance for the impaired amount is included in the determination of the allowance for loan and lease losses. The more significant assumptions we consider involve estimates of the following: lease, absorption and sale rates; real estate collateral values and rates of return; operating expenses; inflation; and sufficiency of collateral independent of the real estate including, in some instances, personal guarantees. Poten tial future loan charge offs beyond those reserved for in our allowance for loan losses in connection with abnormally high rates of impairment arising from 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.

Due to the decline in credit quality that we have experienced in connection with the recession and economic downturn, we have made certain changes to the lending policies and underwriting standards that we believe will help mitigate future losses; however, there is no assurance that additional losses will not occur. Our loan policies and underwriting standards include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • maintaining a thorough understanding of our service area and limiting investments outside of this area,
  • maintaining an understanding of borrowers’ knowledge and capacity in their fields of expertise,
  • basing loan approval on the borrowers’ capacity to repay the loan under current and deteriorating economic conditions, and
  • maintaining prudent loan-to-value and loan-to-cost ratios based on independent outside appraisals and ongoing inspection and analysis of 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.

During the first half of 2009, the Company has been actively working with its borrowers to manage the Company’s credit risk profile and prevent further losses. We continue to monitor the effects of current and expected market conditions and other factors affecting collectability and credit quality. Further declines in real estate values and general economic deterioration in our primary market area and the financial condition of some of our borrowers in particular, could adversely impact the collectability of existing classified loans and lead to additional loan charge offs and nonaccrual loans.

Management continues to evaluate and monitor real estate loans that are largely dependent on the value of real estate collateral to capture changes in values on a timely basis within each quarter. Due to continuing uncertainties related to the real estate values of collateral and financial condition of some of our borrowers, it is possible that additional impairments and classified loans will be identified in subsequent quarters in 2009 and further additions to our allowance for loan losses could be reported in such future periods. The ultimate quality and performance of many of these loans is generally dependent on the financial condition of a diverse group of individual borrowers or successful operation, sale or refinancing of real estate collateral as well as macroeconomic effects beyond th e control of the Company. Subject to these continuing risks, management continues to work with existing borrowers with classified loans that had been experiencing difficulty and anticipates that some of these problem credits may be successfully restructured, additional collateral will be provided or paid off in subsequent periods.

Nonaccrual, Past Due, Restructured Loans and Foreclosed Assets

We generally place loans on nonaccrual status when they are determined to be impaired or 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 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 June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008:

Nonperforming and restructured assets to total assets    12.01%    4.76% 

At June 30, 2009, there were nonperforming and restructured loans which totaled $100,177,000 compared to $44,531,000 at December 31, 2008, an increase of $55,646,000. The majority of these loans outstanding at June 30, 2009 were originally placed on nonaccrual or nonperforming status as a result of identified impairments of these loans due to declining real estate values in collateral associated with these loans. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, specifically Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) 114, when a loan is not performing according to contractual terms and the Company does not expect to receive all amounts due under the loan agreement, the loan must be evaluated for impairment. Generally, the Company must look to the underlying collateral and its fair value at the evaluation date as compared to the balance of the loan outstanding to determine the amount of potential impairment. The Company had $7 million in real estate loans at June 30, 2009 that were past due more than 90 days and still accruing because these loans are believed to be well-secured and in the process of collection. At June 30, 2009, nonperforming and restructured loans increased to 14.07% of total loans, net of unearned income, compared to 5.76% at December 31, 2008. The ratio of nonperforming and restructured assets to total assets increased to 12.01% at June 30, 2009 compared to 4.76% at December 31, 2008.

Generally, when a loan is placed on nonaccrual, it is the Company’s policy to apply payments against the principal balance of the loan until such time as full collection of the principal balance is expected. Interest accrued on loans is charged against interest income at the time they are placed on nonaccrual status. The amount of gross interest income

31


that would have been recorded for nonaccrual loans for the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2009, if all such loans had been current in accordance with their original terms, was $449,000 and $1,233,000, respectively. The amount of interest income that was recognized on nonaccrual loans from all cash payments, including those related to interest owed from prior years, made during the three months ended June 30, 2009, totaled $0.

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 a nine 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 9, with 1 being the highest quality rating and 9 being the lowest quality rating. Loans with a rating of 9 are charged off. Generally, loans with risk ratings of 1 through 4 are considered to have a lower credit risk and therefore, require a normal level of attention. Loans with risk ratings of 5 and 6 require an increased level of monitoring due to potential weaknesses that may affect future repayment of the debt. The loans we consider “classified” are those that have a credit risk rating of 7 through 9. 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.

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 views of examiners from the California Department of Financial Institutions and the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco are also factored into the risk rating for individual loans and, in some instances, the Company may reassess its risk ratings for certain loans following input from federal and state bank regulatory agencies.

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.

During the first half of 2009 and thereafter through the date of this report, the Company continued an ongoing evaluation of its classified loan portfolio, the financial condition of certain of the Company’s borrowers and reviewed specific collateral dependent real estate related loans. During this period, the impact of continued recessionary pressures on borrowers and collateral values was gathered by management on a constantly evolving basis. As a result, management identified additional loans that had become impaired, and it also downgraded certain loans to classified loan status due to continuing deterioration of credit quality and the borrowers’ ability to make contractually due payments. In addition, during this period, management received new appraisals that, upon analysis, indicated that the value of collateral for certain of the Company’s real estate loans had declined significantly compared to other data which had previously been available to the Company.

At June 30, 2009, there was $157,367,000 in classified loans compared to $89,934,000 at December 31, 2008, an increase of $67,433,000, or 75.0% . Of the balance of classified loans at June 30, 2009, $92,833,000 was determined to be impaired either from nonperformance according to their original terms or, for those loans that were deemed to be collateral dependent, due to a deficiency in collateral values at the evaluation date. This compares to $66,917,000 determined to be impaired at December 31, 2008. The classification of these loans as substandard was primarily due to management’s assessment of a potential deterioration in the credit quality of the borrower, change in collateral values due to current market conditions, and the borrower’s ability to continue to make required principal and interest payments.

Impaired Loans

Through our credit review process, management identifies individual loans that are to be evaluated for impairment on a quarterly basis. As previously described above, classified loans include $92,833,000 in impaired loans at June 30, 2009 compared to $66,917,000 at December 31, 2008, an increase of $25,916,000 or 38.7% . The net increase in impaired loans were primarily construction and land development loans identified as “impaired” due to continued declines in real estate values associated with those loans. At June 30, 2009, $92,833,000 of impaired loans was nonaccrual status compared to $44,134,000 at December 31, 2008.

In general, impairment was based on the determination that these loans were collateral dependent and repayment of the principal and interest obligations was likely to be derived solely from sale of underlying real estate collateral. During the second quarter of 2009, the Company allocated $18,150,000 as a specific valuation reserve relating to impaired loans which is included in the total amount of the Company’s allowance for loan losses that is discussed further below. This compares to $2,530,000 at December, 31 2008. See Note 3 to our Consolidated Financial Statements above for more information regarding impaired loans.

Other than classified loans disclosed in this report, including impaired loans, at June 30, 2009, we were not aware of any material potential problem loans which were accruing and current, where Management has serious doubt as to the ability of the borrower to comply with the current repayment terms, however, as stated above, on an ongoing basis we are continuing to seek updated financial information and new appraisals in connection significant real estate loans that are largely dependent on the value of real estate collateral. Due to continuing uncertainties related to real estate valuations and financial condition of some of our borrowers, it is possible that as we receive supplemental financial information and valuations, additional impairments will be identified in subsequent quarters in 2009 and further additions to our allowance for loan losses could be reported in such future periods. The more significant assumptions we consider in the evaluation of impairment involve estimates of the following: lease, absorption and sale rates; real estate collateral values and rates of return; operating expenses; expected cash flows; inflation; and sufficiency of collateral or other resources independent of the real estate including, in many instances, personal guarantees. Consequently, impairment due to deterioration of real estate values for collateral dependant loans or financial condition of borrowers has and may continue to adversely affect our credit quality and earnings. Management will closely monitor all loans identified as impaired on an ongoing basis to timely capture declining values of underlying collateral and continue frequent reviews of other existing loans for potential impairments due to declining collateral values.

Under generally accepted accounting principles, specifically, SFAS 114, 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 placed on nonaccrual status unless the loan is well secured and in the process of collection.

Allowance for loan and lease losses

We maintain an Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses (“ALLL”) that reflects an amount believed by management to be prudent and conservative. The ALLL represents management’s estimate of known and inherent losses in the existing loan portfolio as of the end of each reported period. The ALLL 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 ALLL and the related process, methodology, and underlying assumptions requires a substantial degree of management judgment and consideration of significant factors that may affect the collectability of the portfolio as of the evaluation date. Our methodology for measuring the appropriate level of the allowance relies on the application of various factors discussed below. The resulting ALLL includes a general reserve component determined under Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) 5 and a specific component determined under SFAS 114 and 118.

33


The general reserve component is calculated by applying various factors to the loan portfolio that estimate probable losses inherent in the portfolio at a particular point in time. These factors include historical losses, concentration risks, changes in economic conditions, credit quality trends, and qualitative adjustments.

  • Historical loss factors are based upon the Company’s historical loss experience. Historical loss factors are segmented into categories that reflect more specific loss experience for loans based on their risk rating. For example, loans with higher risk ratings, such as classified loans, tend to have higher loss experience ratios.
     
      These ratios are then applied to the appropriate categories of loans to arrive at an appropriate estimate of probable losses based on historical loss experience.
     
  • Concentration risk factors are determined based on an assumption that increases in loan concentrations tend to increase the risk of loss. Management uses Tier I Capital as a prudent threshold for determining when concentration in the loan portfolio warrants an adjustment to reflect the increase in this risk.
     
  • Economic condition factors are determined by applying the effect of changes in national and local economic trends that management believes can affect the collectability of the loan portfolio. An appropriate allocation for changes in economic conditions is determined based upon changes in key economic indicators, such as unemployment rates and peer group losses.
     
  • Credit quality trend factors are determined based upon changes in the severity of past due loans, adversely classified loans to total loans, and general loss rate trends.
     
  • Qualitative factors are determined using regulatory guidelines for the effects of changes that may have a material impact on the collectability of the portfolio and that are not considered elsewhere in the analysis of the adequacy of the ALLL. Included are the following:
     
      o      Changes in lending policies and procedures, including underwriting standards and collection, charge-off, and recovery practices;
     
      o      Changes in the nature and of the portfolio and in the terms of loans;
     
      o      Changes in the experience, ability, and depth of lending management and other relevant staff;
     
      o      Changes in the quality of the institution’s loan review system;
     
      o      Changes in the value of underlying collateral for collateral dependent loans; and,
     
      o      The effect of other external factors such as competition and legal and regulatory requirements on the level of estimated credit losses in the Company’s existing portfolio.
     

    The application of these factors help to guide the determination of an ALLL that adequately reflects relevant trends, conditions, and other factors considered by Management on an ongoing basis that may have a material impact on the collectability of the loan portfolio.

    Year to date in 2009, historical loss and other current factors have increased significantly compared to these factors in previous years. This was due to increased losses, declining availability of credit in California and nationally, increased concentration risks, decreased real estate valuations and deteriorating economic, employment and credit quality trends. These factor changes resulted in a substantial increase in the balance of our ALLL compared to prior years.

    The specific reserve component is the amount allocated specifically for loans identified as impaired. The allocation is equal to the sum of differences between outstanding loan balances and collateral values for collateral-dependent loans evaluated and differences between outstanding loan balances and the present value of expected cash flows for all other loans evaluated that are not collateral dependent. Loan balances are charged off when losses are confirmed. See the discussion above under the caption “Impaired Loans” for more information.

    34


    At June 30, 2009, the general reserve component of the ALLL was determined to be $26,874,000 compared to $13,007,000 at December 31, 2008. The specific reserve component of the ALLL was set at $18,150,000 at June 30, 2009 compared to $2,530,000 at December 31, 2008.

    The ALLL, including both the general and specific reserve components, totaled $45,024,000 or 6.32% of total loans at June 30, 2009, compared to $15,537,000 or 2.01% of total loans at December 31, 2008. At these dates, the allowance represented 44.9% and 34.9% of nonperforming and restructured loans, respectively. For the quarter ended June 30, 2009 we experienced net charge offs of $3,636,000 compared to net recoveries of $38,000 for the second quarter of 2008. For the year to date period ended June 30, 2009, we experienced net charge offs of $14,332,000 compared to net recoveries of $98,000 in 2008. the increase in net charge offs was primarily the result of management’s determination that certain loans or portions thereof were uncollectable as a result of real estate collateral values dropping below the recorded investment in the loan.

    There can be no assurance that the factors we consider in connection with estimating the adequacy of our ALLL or setting special valuation reserves will be accurate. It is our policy to maintain the ALLL at a level considered adequate for risks inherent in the loan portfolio. Based on information available to management at the date of this report, including economic factors, overall credit quality, views of our regulators, historical delinquency, qualitative factors, and history of actual charge-offs, Management believes that the ALLL was adequate as of June 30, 2009. However, no prediction of the ultimate level of additional provisions to our ALLL or loan charged offs in future periods can be made with any certainty.

    The following table summarizes activity in the allowance for loan losses for the periods indicated:

    Liquidity

    Liquidity management refers to our ability to provide funds on an ongoing basis to meet fluctuations in deposit levels as well as the credit needs and requirements of our clients, paying creditors, funding investments and other capital needs without causing an undue amount of cost or risk and without disrupting our normal business operations.

    Both assets and liabilities contribute to our liquidity position. Cash and balances due from correspondent banks, federal funds and Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) lines, unpledged available-for-sale investments, investment and loan maturities and repayments all contribute to liquidity, along with deposit increases, while loan funding, debt maturities and repayments, and deposit withdrawals decrease liquidity. We forecast funding requirements by determining asset and liability maturities and repayments and projecting loan and deposit growth based on data currently available and planning and budgeting efforts including historical funding patterns, current and forecasted economic conditions and individual customer funding needs. We serve primarily a business and professional customer base and, as such, our deposit base is susceptible to economic fluctuations. Accordingly, through our liquidity policy, we strive to maintain a balanced position of liquid assets to volatile and cyclical deposits.

    The Company categorizes its total liquidity into primary and secondary sources. Primary liquidity sources consist of liquid assets including cash, due from correspondent banks, federal funds sold, typically referred to as cash and cash equivalents, and available-for-sale investments. Secondary liquidity sources consist of federal funds lines, unused FHLB borrowing capacity, and other secured credit lines. The Company has set policy limits for primary and total liquidity as a percent of deposits and other interest-bearing liabilities, net of the secured portion. The policy limits at June 30, 2009 for primary and total liquidity were not less than 5% and 10%, respectively. The actual primary and total liquidity amounts and percentages at June 30, 2009 were $33,164,000 or 4.9% and $149,719,000 or 17.0%, respectively.

    35


    At June 30, 2009, the Company had $20,000,000 of unused federal funds lines of credit with correspondent banks. These credit lines have variable interest rates based on the correspondent bank’s daily federal fund rates, and are due on demand. These are uncommitted and under which availability is subject to federal fund balances of the issuing banks and our ability to pledge collateral to secure these lines. The Company had no balances outstanding at June 30, 2009 on its federal funds lines. At June 30, 2009, the Company had total borrowing capacity with the FHLB in the amount of $100,322,000. The Company’s borrowing capacity with the FHLB is based upon the pledge of loans and investment securities. The FHLB periodically reviews loans pledged as collateral and increases or decreases the Company’s borrowing capacity based on the collateral review. Borrowing capacity from pledged investment securities is based on the market values of the underlying securities pledged. At June 30, 2009, the Company had advances on its FHLB lines of credit in the amount of $61,950,000. As of the date of this report, our FHLB borrowing capacity was reduced to $72,861,000.

    In March of 2009, the Company sought to further augment its liquidity by applying to the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco for a borrowing line through the discount window. Any borrowing via the Federal Reserve (FRB) discount window will be secured by the pledge of loans as collateral. The Federal Reserve Bank approved the Company’s request for a line and established a total borrowing capacity of approximately $62 million commencing in June 2009. The borrowing availability is based upon the Federal Reserve Bank’s assessment of certain commercial loans to be pledged as collateral to support the line.

    In January 2009, the Company developed and implemented a contingency funding plan to enhance the Company’s liquidity policy. The plan is designed to insure the availability of sufficient liquidity in case of loss of availability of funding sources that could have a severe impact on the Bank’s liquidity. The plan includes various triggers that alert Management that potential liquidity funding issues may be developing. These triggers include (1) declining credit quality, such as increases in past due and adversely classified loans, (2) unanticipated declines in funding sources, such as unusual declines in deposits or reduction of short-term federal fund lines or FHLB borrowing capacity, (3) significant local economic events, such as closing of a major employer resulting in significant job losses to the community, and (4) significant changes in the expected level of the Company’s earnings/losses. As the situation warrants, management will implement the contingency plan strategies to minimize disruption of funding. Direct actions can include deposit pricing, sale of investment securities and/or loans, securing longer-term FHLB advances, reduction in loan growth and borrowing of funds from the Federal Reserve discount window. The Bank will periodically test alternative liquidity scenarios that capture liquidity risk in the event of a funding crisis.

    Over the next 12 months, the Company has projected a reduction in total assets of approximately $45 million. This reduction is expected due to anticipated investment security maturities, net of required replacements, of approximately $25 million, a reduction in net loans of approximately $20 million and a reduction in net deposits of approximately $30 million. These activities are expected to result in net cash to the Company of approximately $15 million. The Company anticipates the net cash provided will be used to reduce certain other short-term borrowings including brokered deposits and/or FHLB advances. However, liquidity could be under additional strain due to restrictions on funding sources due to capital levels falling below the regulatory minimum for adequately capitalized institutions. As of the date of this report, the Company’s subsidiary, San Joaquin Bank, is prohibited under applicable law from utilizing brokered deposits, including CDARS deposits, as sources of additional liquidity until such time as capital levels are restored above regulatory minimums for well-capitalized institutions. As of the date of this Report, the Bank is utilizing FHLB borrowing and the FRB discount window to supplement its liquidity needs. While the Company anticipates that it will raise additional capital to be used, in part, to reduce dependency on the FHLB borrowings and the FRB discount window, there can be no assurance that the Company’s efforts to raise additional capital will be successful. Nevertheless, subject to the Company successfully raising additional capital, if significant liquidity pressures on the Bank exceed the level of borrowings available from the FHLB and the FRB, the Company’s viability as a going concern will be threatened.

    On a stand-alone basis, the Company is the sole shareholder of the Bank. While the Company has historically maintained its own capital and liquid assets, it also depends on payment upon exercise of outstanding stock options and receiving dividends from the Bank for liquidity purposes. Dividends from the Bank are subject to certain regulatory limitations. The formal Agreement among the Company, the Bank and the FRB and DFI prohibits the Bank from paying cash dividends to the Company except with the prior consent of the regulatory agencies. At June 30, 2009, the Company had cash and other liquid assets of $170,000. Management projects that these funds will be depleted prior to the end of 2009 due to increased expenditures unless we raise additional capital, our regulators

    36


    consent to the payment of a dividend from the Bank to the Company or reimbursement for certain services provided by the Company to the Bank, or we obtain an extension of credit from a third party. Management has adopted a capital strategy and budget designed to increase the Company’s capital and which management believes should resolve this liquidity risk, however, there can be no assurance that the Company’s strategy will be successful

    Capital Resources

    Capital is a critical factor for the Company. Historically, the Company has generated capital through the retention of earnings, the issuance of trust preferred securities and the exercise of stock options. The current and projected capital position of the Company and the impact of capital plans and long-term strategies are reviewed regularly by management. The Company's capital position represents the level of capital available to support continued operations and potential expansion. The Company is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by the regulators that, if undertaken, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

    The Company's primary capital resource is shareholders’ equity which was $37,238,000 at June 30, 2009 compared to $56,372,000 at December 31, 2008. The change is the result of the net loss for the first and second quarters and the increase in other comprehensive income for the quarter. Company management can employ various means to manage the Company's capital ratios including controlling asset growth and dividend payouts and raising additional capital.

    In addition to shareholders' equity, the company also has issued certain capital securities that qualify as either Tier 1 or Tier 2 capital under applicable regulatory guidelines. The capital securities consist of $10,000,000 in trust preferred securities, treated as Tier 1 capital, and a $6,000,000 subordinated note, treated as Tier 2 capital.

    At June 30, 2009, the Company's and Bank’s capital ratios were as follows:

            Actual         
       
        For Capital      To Be Categorized
        Company        Bank    Adequacy Purposes    "Well Capitalized" 

     
       
     
     
    Tier 1 leverage ratio    4.17%        4.12%    4%    5% 
    Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets    4.64%        4.59%    4%    6% 
    Total risk-based capital ratio    6.75%        6.70%    8%    10% 

    As of June 30, 2009, the Company and the Bank were undercapitalized because they did not meet all applicable requirements necessary to be classified as “adequately capitalized.” This was the result of recognizing additional net losses and including additional amounts in our allowance for loan losses in the first half of 2009.

    As an undercapitalized Bank, certain restrictions are automatically applicable to the Bank under the federal Prompt

    Corrective Action (“PCA”) statute.

    These restrictions prohibit the Bank, without prior approval, from paying

    dividends or making other capital distributions, increasing the Bank’s assets, expanding its operations through acquisitions or new branches or lines of business, and paying certain management fees to the Company. In addition, the Bank and the Company have submitted a capital restoration plan to the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, detailing the steps proposed by management to restore the Bank to the “well-capitalized” category. As of the date of this report, the plan is still under review by the Federal Reserve Bank. Currently, the Company’s and Bank’s tier 1 leverage and tier 1 risk-based capital ratios remain above “adequately capitalized” levels. However, the respective total risk-based capital ratios are below “adequately capitalized” levels. Accordingly, unless we raise significant amounts of equity capital and begin to return to profitability, there is a substantial risk t hat the Company’s and the Bank’s total risk-based capital ratios will remain below “adequately capitalized” levels and our banking regulators may deem our capital restoration plan to be unacceptable.

    The principal consequences of the Bank not being classified as “adequately capitalized” or being deemed to have an unacceptable capital restoration plan is that it is likely we will be subjected to additional enforcement actions by federal and state banking regulators and we will not be able to continue to use brokered deposits as a funding source, including CDARS deposits. As a result, if future enforcement actions are imposed on us by our regulators, if we violate any existing or future enforcement agreements or other requirements or experience significant liquidity pressures, our viability as a going concern will be threatened.

    37


    In 2009, Management developed a capital strategy and a capital restoration plan to enhance capital balances, improve capital ratios, and restore the Company’s capital to a level necessary to be considered “well capitalized.” Based upon our financial position as of June 30, 2009, management projects the Company will require an equity infusion of approximately $34.5 million, net of transaction costs, of which approximately $33.8 million would be contributed to

    the Bank as tier 1 capital, in order to return the Company and the Bank to “well capitalized” status. Longer term, 
    management’s capital strategy includes goals to attain minimum capital ratios for tier 1 leverage, tier 1 risk-based 
    capital and total risk-based capital of 8%, 9%, and 12%, respectively, by the end of 2009 The Company intends to 

    raise additional capital through the issuance of common stock or preferred stock in order to increase its capital, however, there can be no assurance that any capital can be raised or, if raised, that the terms associated with such equity will not materially adversely impact the Company’s results of operations and cause significant dilution to the interests of the Company’s existing shareholders.

    To preserve capital, the Company’s board of directors has suspended cash dividend payments for 2009 and it is unlikely that cash dividends will be declared or paid on our common stock in 2010. Additionally, effective March 31, 2009, the Company suspended quarterly interest payments on its trust preferred securities for at least eight (8) consecutive quarters pursuant to a right to suspend such payments in the documentation for such securities. Suspended quarterly interest payments accrue at a variable quarterly interest rate of Libor plus 1.60 basis points compounded quarterly from the date payment was otherwise due and payable until the date paid. The Company has the right to elect to defer the quarterly interest payment on its trust preferred securities for up twenty (20) calendar quarters provided that no event of default is deemed to have occurred (as defined in the applicable documentation). Thus, the Company could elec t to defer quarterly interest payments for up to an additional twelve (12) quarters.

    On July 20, 2009, the Company entered into definitive stock purchase agreements with the following individuals: Gurpreetinder Singh, Ashok Kumar, Prem Chand, Vijay K. Gupta, Kewal Krishan Garg, Gurmail Singh, Girdhari Lal, Niranjan Singh Sra, Dr. Sham Lal Goyal, Ms. Usha Rani Sood, and Mjr. Surinder Singh (together the “Investors”), all of whom are residents of and domiciled in India. The agreements provide that the Company will issue and the Investors will purchase, pursuant to a private placement, 8,137,250 newly issued shares of common stock (“Shares”) at $4.68 per share. The obligations of each Investor under the agreements are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Investor. Upon issuance and sale of all of the Shares as currently contemplated by the parties, gross proceeds of approximately $38 million dollars are expected to be raised.

    Under the agreements, each Investor has the right to elect prior to the initial closing to purchase at least one quarter of their subscribed for Shares at the initial closing provided they irrevocably commit to purchase the balance of their subscribed for Shares at no more than three additional closings, to be held at ninety (90) day intervals or other dates mutually agreed upon by the parties. Any Investor electing to divide their subscription into more than one closing must purchase no less than one quarter of their subscribed for Shares at the second closing and, if necessary, the third closing. The obligations of the parties are subject to customary closing conditions including compliance with applicable state and federal banking laws and the internal laws of India, the principal domicile of the Investors. As of the date of this report, the investors had not fully satisfied certain conditions necessary prior to consummation o f the transaction including but not limited to the condition that the investors must obtain any approvals and consents required by the laws of their country of domicile. Upon satisfaction of all conditions to closing set forth in the agreements, the parties anticipate consummating the transaction as soon as possible, however, at the date of this report, management cannot accurately predict the exact date or whether all required legal and regulatory approvals will be obtained.

    If all of the Shares are issued on the basis contemplated under the agreements, the Investors would, in the aggregate, own approximately sixty-two (62%) percent of the Company’s outstanding shares, based upon shares outstanding at June 30, 2009. However, based on information and representations provided to the Company by the Investors, none of the Investors (along with members of each Investor’s immediate family) is expected to individually own more than 8% of the Company’s outstanding shares.

    The agreements further provide that the Company is permitted, on a contemporaneous basis, to enter into and consummate other alternative investment proposals if prior to consummation of the second closing the board of directors determines, after consultations with its outside counsel and a financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation, that the transactions contemplated pursuant to the stock purchase agreements and any alternative proposal

    38


    should, in the exercise of the board’s reasonable judgment, both be pursued and consummated (or attempted to be consummated). Under this circumstance, the Company may pursue any such alternative proposal without terminating or altering the Investors’ obligation to purchase the Shares as contemplated under the agreements.

    In addition to the Company’s right to pursue alternative proposals on a contemporaneous basis as described above, the stock purchase agreements contain a “superior proposal” provision that permits the Company, under circumstances detailed in the agreements, to terminate the stock purchase agreements at any time prior to a second closing if the board authorizes the Company to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to any such superior proposal transaction. Prior to any such termination, if the Company receives a bona fide written alternative proposal for a transaction that the board reasonably determines (after consultation with outside counsel and a financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation) constitutes a superior proposal, and the board believes in good faith, considering the advice of the Company’s counsel, that the failure to participate in negotiations or discussions would be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the board under applicable law, the Company and its agents and representatives may, subject to certain disclosure obligations to the Investors, pursue and attempt to enter into a definitive agreement for any such superior proposal transaction. In this circumstance, any of the Investors, or all of them, would have an opportunity to present a counter proposal to the “superior proposal” and if the counter proposal is deemed by the board of directors to top the superior proposal, said counter proposal could then become the basis for a new transaction in lieu of the transactions presently contemplated under the stock purchase agreements.

    Subordinated Note

    On April 5, 2004, the Bank issued a $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 $10,000,000 of floating rate trust preferred securities issued by the Trust and guaranteed by the Company. On September 1, 2006, the Trust issued $10,000,000 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.

    Regulatory Matters

    On April 7, 2009, the Company and its banking subsidiary (“Bank”) mutually agreed to enter into a joint written agreement (“Agreement”) with the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco (the “FRB”) and the California Department of Financial Institutions (the “DFI”). The Agreement was based, in part, on certain findings of the FRB in its report of examination that commenced on October 20, 2008. The Company and the Bank are taking steps that they believe will

    39


    comply with the provisions of the Agreement. A copy of the Agreement was attached as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company’s current report on Form 8-K which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on April 10, 2009. All descriptions herein of the Agreement and its provisions are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Agreement as filed with the SEC. Also, as described above, since the Bank was deemed to be undercapitalized for regulatory purposes as of March 31, 2009, the Bank is subject to certain mandatory restrictions imposed pursuant to the PCA statute.

    The Company is fully committed to addressing and resolving the issues presented in the Agreement. Bank lending and deposit operations continue to be conducted in the usual and customary manner and all other products and services and hours of business remain the same. Bank deposits remain insured by the FDIC to the maximum extent allowed by law. Under certain circumstances, the FRB and the DFI have the legal authority to impose additional formal enforcement actions against the Company and Bank upon determining that either or both entities have further financial or managerial deficiencies or if the provisions of the Agreement are violated or if the FRB finds our proposed capital restoration plan submitted pursuant to the PCA to be unacceptable. Enforcement actions can include, among other things, cease and desist orders, capital directives and civil money penalty actions. If the Bank or the Company fails to comply with or breaches the requirements in the Agreement, under the PCA statute, or any subsequent order or directive, federal and DFI regulators may take further action to remedy or resolve such failures or breaches which could materially adversely impact the prospects, business and future operations of the Company and Bank and could threaten the Company’s and the Bank’s viability as going concerns.

    Off-Balance Sheet Items

    As of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, commitments to extend credit and letters of credit were the only financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk, except for the interest rate swap agreements described below. See Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

    On-Balance sheet Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

    Derivative Financial Instruments

    During the second quarter of 2009, the Company held stand alone derivative financial instruments in the form of interest rate swap agreements. Interest rate swap agreements derive their value from underlying interest rates. These transactions involve both credit and market risk. The notional amounts are amounts on which calculations, payments, and the value of the derivative are based. Notional amounts do not represent direct credit exposures. Direct credit exposure is limited to the net difference between the calculated amounts to be received and paid, if any. Such difference, which represents the fair value of the derivative instruments, is reflected on the Company’s balance sheet as other assets or other liabilities.

    The Company is exposed to credit-related losses in the event of nonperformance by the counterparties to these agreements. The Company controls the credit risk of its financial contracts through collateral requirements, credit approvals, limits and monitoring procedures, and does not expect any counterparties to fail their obligations. The Company deals only with primary dealers.

    Risk Management Policies – Hedging Instruments

    The primary focus of the Corporations’ asset/liability management program is to monitor the sensitivity of the Company’s net portfolio value and net income under varying interest rate scenarios to take steps to control its risks. On a quarterly basis, the Company simulates the net portfolio value and net income expected to be earned over a twelve-month period following the date of simulation. The simulation is based on a projection of market interest rates at varying levels and estimates the impact of such market rates on the levels of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities during the measurement period. Based upon the outcome of the simulation analysis, the Company considers the use of derivatives as a means of reducing the volatility of the net portfolio value and projected net income within certain ranges of projected changes in interest rates.

    40


    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.

    Interest Rate Risk Management - Cash Flow Hedging Instruments

    The Company has one interest rate swap agreement with a third party to manage the interest rate change risk that may affect the amount of interest expense of our $10,000,000 variable-rate junior subordinated note. The interest rate swap agreement is a derivative financial instrument that qualifies as a cash flow hedge and is accounted for using the critical terms matched method under SFAS 133. Under an interest rate swap agreement, we agree to pay a series of fixed payments in exchange for receiving a series of floating rate payments based upon the three-month LIBOR from the third party.

    Interest rate swap agreements are considered to be a hedge against changes in the amount of future cash flows associated with our interest expense for our trust preferred securities. Accordingly, the interest rate swap agreements 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 accumulated other comprehensive income. To the extent that this contract is 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 the ineffective portion of these contracts are immediately recognized in income.

    At June 30, 2009, we had interest rate swap agreements that qualified as cash flow hedges on $10,000,000 notional amount of indebtedness. The fair value of the interest rate swaps that qualified as cash flow hedges was a liability of $905,000 and is included with accrued interest payable and other liabilities on the balance sheet. The net gain or loss on the ineffective portion of this interest rate swap agreement was not material for the quarter ended June 30, 2009. There were no other agreements outstanding at June 30, 2008.

    To reduce credit risk associated with the use of derivatives, the company may deem it necessary to obtain collateral when the fair value of the derivative is an asset. When the fair value is a liability, the counterparty may deem it necessary to obtain collateral from us. The amount of the collateral is based upon the current credit exposure of each of the parties to the agreement. At June 30, 2009, 100% of San Joaquin Bancorp’s ownership interest in San Joaquin Bank was pledged by us as collateral for interest rate swap agreements.

    Interest Rate Risk Management - Fair Value Hedging Instruments

    The Company originates fixed and variable-rate loans. Fixed-rate loans expose the Company to variability in their fair value due to changes in the level of interest rates. Management believes that it is prudent to limit the variability in the fair value of a portion of its fixed-rate loan portfolio. It is the Company’s objective to hedge the change in fair value of fixed-rate loans at coverage levels that are appropriate, given anticipated or existing interest rate levels and other market considerations, as well as the relationship of change in value of the loans due to changes in expected interest rate assumptions. The Company utilizes interest rate swap agreements that provide for a series of fixed rate payments in exchange for receiving a series of floating rate payments based on the one-month or six-month LIBOR. These swap agreements are accounted for using the short-cut, long-haul, and offsetting derivatives methods under SFAS 133 as the designation requires for each separate agreement. In the second quarter of 2009, the Company elected to convert the LIBOR index for $84,488,000 notional amount of interest rate swap agreements from a one-month index to a three-month index to achieve a projected improvement in yield. Consequently, the accounting treatment of those agreements converted changed from the short-cut method to the offsetting derivatives method. Under the offsetting derivatives method, the derivative portion of the yield maintenance agreement that represents a stream of payments to be received or paid in the future associated with the underlying hedged asset, the loan, is separated and carried at its market value at the balance sheet date. This market value of this derivative is reflected as other assets or other liabilities on the balance sheet based upon whether the fair value is positive or negative at the balance sheet reporting date.

    The Company believes it is economically prudent to keep hedge coverage ratios at acceptable risk levels, which may vary depending on current and expected interest rate movement. For those loans management decides to hedge, hedging relationships are established on a loan-by-loan basis at the time the loan is originated.

    41


    As of June 30, 2009, we had interest rate swap agreements on $192,051,000 notional amount of indebtedness as compared to $194,560,000 at December 31, 2008. As of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the fair value of the swaps was a liability of $19,707,000 and $32,602,000, respectively, and is included with other liabilities on the balance sheet. At June 30, 2009, a corresponding fair value adjustment of $8,959,000 is included on the balance sheet with the fixed-rate loans for those agreements accounted for under the short-cut and long-haul methods, and a fair value adjustment of $10,750,000 is included in other assets for those agreements account for under the offsetting derivatives method for a combined total of $19,709,000. The difference of $2,000 represents ineffectiveness at June 30, 2009. The ineffective portion of the interest rate swap agreements was a $2,000 loss in 2009 compared to a $17,000 loss in 2008. The ineffect iveness was recognized as an adjustment to noninterest expense for the each of the respective periods.

    To reduce credit risk associated with the use of derivatives, the company may deem it necessary to obtain collateral when the fair value of the derivative is an asset. When the fair value is a liability, the counterparty may deem it necessary to obtain collateral from us. The amount of the collateral is based upon the current credit exposure of each of the parties to the agreement. At June 30, 2009, investment securities with a market value of $26,845,000 were pledged by us as collateral for interest rate swap agreements.

    ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

    There have been no material changes in the Company’s quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk as of June 30, 2009 from those presented in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.

    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 7 under the caption "Off-Balance Sheet Items" and in Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Interest rate risk is the most significant market risks affecting the Company. Management does not believe the Company faces other signifi cant market risks such as foreign currency exchange risks, commodity risks, or equity price risks.

    Asset and Liability Management

    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.

    42


    There is market risk relating to the Company's 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 future net interest income. A balance sheet forecast is prepared using inputs of actual loan, securities and interest bearing liabilities (i.e., deposits and borrowings) positions and characteristics 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 by management using June 30, 2009 as a base balances projected that in a flat rate environment, net interest income would be approximately $23.2 million over the next twelve months. In an environment where interest rates increase by 100 basis points, the simulation projected net interest income of approximately $23.7 million. The decreases in projected net interest income for 2009 compared to 2008 levels are partially due to a lower interest rate environment, which is expected to exert downward pressure on our net interest margin, combined with expected increases in average nonaccrual assets for 2009. As of the date of this report, the basic structure of the balance sheet has not changed materially from the simulation as of the quarter-end.

    The simulations of net interest income do not incorporate any management actions and strategies which could moderate the negative consequences of interest rate fluctuations. Therefore, in Management’s view, they do not reflect likely actual results, but serve as estimates of interest rate risk.

    The Company believes it has adequate capital to absorb potential downward pressure on net interest income as described above. 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 if the Company had a large portfolio of fixed rate loans and securities funded by deposit accounts on which the rate is steadily rising. 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 assurance that the average interest received 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.

    43


    ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

    Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

    The Company’s management evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13(a)-15(e) as of the end of the period covered by this report. The Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer participated in the evaluation. Based on this evaluation, the Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded at that time that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

    Changes in Internal Controls

    During 2009, the Company restated the interim financial statements for the first quarter of 2009 in connection with an increased level of classified and impaired loans and, as a consequence, a determination that substantial additional provisions for loan losses and charge offs of classified real estate loans should be reported for the three months ended March 31, 2009. Management recognized the need for the adjustments based upon its review of constantly evolving information regarding the Company’s real estate loan portfolio, evaluation of the underlying collateral and identification of continuing deterioration in the ability of some of our borrowers to make loan payments. While the factors related to individual loans and borrowers varied, the magnitude of the adjustments indicated that our original March 31, 2009 judgments were not accurate.

    As a result of the restatement, management identified a material weakness in internal controls as of March 31, 2009 related to the Company’s policies and procedures for monitoring of and responding to certain financial reporting risks. Specifically, the Company’s policies and procedures did not provide for timely evaluation of and revision to management’s approach to assessing credit risk inherent in the Company’s loan portfolio as of March 31, 2009 to reflect significant changes in the economic environment. Effective August 5, 2009, with the approval of the Company’s Audit Committee, management completed modifications to its internal control structure and procedures in order to remediate this weakness. Specifically, the Company hired and assigned additional credit administration staff and expanded key controls with respect to credit monitoring and to expedite the process of risk rating loans and collateral valuation. Management anticipates that such modified internal controls and procedures will operate effectively for the remainder of 2009 and for each reporting period thereafter.

    Through these steps, the Company believes it has appropriately addressed the material weakness that affected its internal control over financial reporting as disclosed above. However, the effectiveness of any system of internal controls is subject to inherent limitations and there can be no assurance that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors.

    During the period covered by this report, there have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal control over financial reporting other than those discussed above.

    44


    PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

    ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

    There are no material pending legal proceedings to which the Company or any subsidiary is a party or of which any of their property is subject, other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to the business of the Company or any subsidiary. None of the ordinary routine litigation in which the Company or any subsidiary is involved is expected to have a material adverse impact upon the financial position or results of operations of the Company or any subsidiary.

    ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

    There are risk factors that may affect the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations, some of which are beyond the control of the Company or not currently known. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for the interim period ended June 30, 2009, at Item 2 of Part I in this report, sets forth other risks and uncertainties regarding our business and financial position. The risks and uncertainties described below and elsewhere in this report are not the only ones facing us. Current and prospective investors in our securities should carefully consider the risk factors reported in our 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K, Current Reports on Form 8-K and future Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q as well as those described below and the other information contained or incorporated by reference in this report. Additional risks and uncertainties that management is not a ware of or focused on or that management currently deems immaterial may also impair our business operations. This report is qualified in its entirety by these risk factors.

    If any of the risks described in our 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K or in this report actually occur, the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and prospects could be materially and adversely affected. If this were to happen, the value of the Company’s securities could decline significantly or become worthless, and shareholders could lose all or part of their investment. The Company is not aware of any material changes in the risk factors described in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K except as described elsewhere in this report and below.

    Shareholder and Capital Market Risks

    We will need to raise additional capital in the near future, but capital may not be available or may be available only on unfavorable terms. If we consummate any transaction for additional capital, it is probable that the interests of our existing shareholders will be substantially diluted.

    We are required by federal regulatory authorities to maintain adequate levels of capital to support our operations. As of March 31, 2009, we were deemed to be “undercapitalized” under federal guidelines. When a bank is deemed “undercapitalized” under the Prompt Corrective Action statute certain restrictions are imposed as a matter of law and the Federal Reserve may take other optional actions. See “Regulatory Risks” below for more information related to Prompt Corrective Action. See also the discussion under the caption “Capital Resources” in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in Part I, Item 2 “(M D & A”), of this report, which is incorporated in this section by r eference.

    We need to raise significant amounts of additional capital to satisfy the capital plan we have previously adopted as required by our regulators and the capital restoration plan, described under “Regulatory Risks” below, that has been submitted to the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco (“FRB”) but not yet accepted by them.. Based upon our financial position as of June 30, 2009, management projects the Company will require an equity infusion of approximately $34.5 million, net of transaction costs, of which approximately $33.8 million would be contributed to the Bank as tier 1 capital, in order to return the Company and the Bank to “well capitalized” status.

    We announced on July 20, 2009 that we had entered into definitive stock purchase agreements with individual Investors that are subject to customary closing conditions including compliance with applicable state and federal banking laws and the internal laws of India, the principal domicile of the Investors. Under the agreements, the Investors agreed to purchase and the Company agreed to sell, pursuant to a private placement, $38 million of our common stock at $4.68 per share. As of the date of this report, the investors had not fully satisfied certain conditions

    45


    necessary prior to consummation of the transaction including but not limited to the condition that the Investors must obtain any approvals and consents required by the laws of their country of domicile. See the discussion under “Capital Resources” in the M D & A portion of this report for more information concerning this pending transaction. Upon satisfaction of all conditions to closing set forth in the agreements, the parties anticipate consummating the transaction as soon as possible, however, at the date of this report, management cannot accurately predict the exact closing date(s) or whether all required legal and regulatory approvals will be obtained. There is no assurance that all of the conditions precedent to consummating this pending transaction will be satisfied or that the transaction will be consummated.

    Our ability to raise additional capital depends in part on conditions in the capital markets, which are outside of our control. At present the market for new capital for community banks is very limited. Accordingly, we cannot be certain of our ability to raise additional capital in the future or on terms acceptable to us. If we are able to raise capital, it will most likely be on terms that will be substantially dilutive to current shareholders. In fact, if the pending transaction described above is consummated, the Company would issue 8,137,250 new shares of common stock to the Investors and immediately afterwards (assuming no other shares are issued), the current shareholders would own approximately 38% of the Company’s outstanding voting shares and the Company’s book value per share at June 30, 2009 of $9.41 per share would decline significantly since the new shares have been priced at $4.68 per share.

    In addition, the use of brokered deposits without regulatory approval from the FDIC is limited to banks that are “well capitalized” under applicable federal regulations. A significant portion of our local deposits are derived through a program known as the Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Service or CDARS. The CDARS program is a deposit swapping service that enables participating banks to provide their customers with access to FDIC-insured certificates of deposit. As of June 30, 2009, a large portion of our deposits were derived through the CDARS program. Since we are now deemed to be undercapitalized, we will not have access to a significant source of funding, including CDARS deposits. This, in turn, will force us to use more expensive sources of funding or to sell loans or other assets at a time when pricing for such assets is not as favorable as CDARS or other brokered deposits. The Bank plans to seek the FDIC’s consent to again utilize CDARS deposits if the Bank becomes “adequately capitalized”, however, there can be no assurance that we will become “adequately capitalized” or that we will receive their consent even if our capital levels do increase to the adequate level. If we cannot raise additional capital, our results of operations and financial condition will continue to be adversely affected.

    Funding Risks

    Liquidity risk could impair our ability to fund operations and jeopardize our financial condition.

    All depository institutions require access to cash and liquid assets that are convertible to cash to meet their operating needs. Those needs include payment of operating expenses, meeting customers’ withdrawal requests and funding loans. Negative perceptions of our prospects among our customer base resulting from unfavorable operating results for the interim period ended June 30, 2009 or other unfavorable disclosures related to our business or operations in subsequent periods could cause customers to withdraw their deposits at accelerated rates. If our deposit customers should make requests for withdrawal of their deposits substantially in excess of expected withdrawal levels (and in excess of the levels of our liquid assets), we would be required to borrow additional funds or sell other long-term assets in order to raise cash. No assurance can be given as to whether depositors will withdraw funds in excess of the amount of our liquid assets. Additionally, the Company has borrowings outstanding supported by eligible loan collateral with the Federal Home Loan Bank, or FHLB and a line of credit with the Federal Reserve Bank. See the discussion under the caption “Liquidity” in the M D & A, which is incorporated in this paragraph by reference. The deterioration in credit quality of the pledged assets could impact the level of availability for future advances with FHLB or the Federal Reserve Bank.

    Credit Risks

    Our allowance for loan losses may prove to be insufficient to absorb losses inherent in our loan portfolio.

    Like all financial institutions, every loan we make carries a risk that it will not be repaid in accordance with its terms, or that collateral for the loan will not be sufficient to assure repayment. This risk is affected by, among other things: cash flow of the borrower and/or the project being financed; in the case of a secured loan, the changes and uncertainties as to the value of the collateral; the creditworthiness of a particular borrower; changes in economic and

    46


    industry conditions; and the duration of the loan. As of the period ended June 30, 2009 compared to December 31, 2008, nonperforming and restructured loans increased significantly, as did our allowance for loan losses. Although management believes at the date of this report that the level of our loan loss allowance was adequate to absorb probable losses in our loan portfolio as of June 30, 2009, management is currently in the process of obtaining updated financial information and new appraisals in connection with a number of significant loans that are dependent on real estate collateral. Due to continuing uncertainties related to the economy, real estate values and the financial condition of some of our borrowers, it is possible that as we receive supplemental financial information and appraisal valuations, additional impairments and classified loans will be identified in subsequent quarters in 2009 and further losses and additions to our allowance for loan losses could be reported in such future periods. Any of these occurrences could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. See the discussions in the M D & A under the captions “Classified Loans,” “Impaired Loans” and “Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses,” which are incorporated into this paragraph by reference.

    Geographic and Economic Risks

    Our concentration in real estate construction loans subjects us to additional risks.

    We have a high concentration in real estate construction loans. Of the impaired loans reposted as of June 30, 2009, substantially all of them were considered to be construction and land development loans. Approval and terms of real estate construction loans depend in part on estimates of costs and value associated with the completed project. These estimates may be inaccurate. Construction lending involves greater risks than permanent mortgage lending because funds are advanced upon the security of the project, which is of uncertain value prior to its completion. Because of the uncertainties inherent in estimating construction costs, the market value of the completed project and the effects of governmental regulation of real property, it is relatively difficult to accurately determine the total funds required to complete a project and its actual market value. Construction lending also typically involves higher loan principal amounts and is often concentrated with a small number of builders. In addition, generally during the term of a construction loan, no payment from the borrower is required since the accumulated interest is added to the principal of the loan through an interest reserve. Repayment is substantially dependent on the success of the ultimate project and the ability of the borrower to sell or lease the property or obtain permanent take-out financing, rather than the ability of the borrower or guarantor to repay principal and interest. If our appraisal of the value of the completed project proves to be overstated or if real estate values decline during the construction process or if a project suffers substantial delays, we may have inadequate security for the repayment of the loan upon completion of construction and may incur a loss. The housing market in Kern County in California where our construction loan accounts are substantially located is depressed, and it will be difficult to sell or refinance units in these projects for the foreseeable future.

    Regulatory Risks

    Restrictions on dividends and other distributions from the Bank to the Company could limit amounts payable to us and as a result the Company may not have adequate liquid resources to pay its creditors.

    As a holding company, a substantial portion of our cash flow typically comes from dividends paid by our Bank. Various statutory provisions restrict the amount of dividends our Bank can pay to us without regulatory approval. Under our Agreement with the FRB and the DFI, our regulators have restricted the Company’s and the Bank’s payment of dividends without their consent. As a result, the Company has elected to suspend all cash dividend payments and to defer payments on its Trust Preferred Securities as a measure to conserve capital. We project that our cash and other liquid assets on a parent only stand alone basis as of June 30, 2009 will be depleted prior to the end of 2009 unless we raise additional capital and our regulators consent to the payment of a dividend from the Bank to the Company or reimbursement for certain services provided by the Company to the Bank, or we obtain an extension of credit from a third party. As described in the paragraph below, since we are now deemed to be “undercapitalized,” the Bank cannot legally pay dividends to the Company. In the event we fail to obtain additional liquid assets at the holding company level by raising capital, receiving a dividend from the Bank or otherwise obtain additional operating funds during 2009 we may not have adequate resources to pay our outside auditor, legal counsel and other creditors of the Company. See the discussion under “Liquidity” in the M D & A for additional information, which is incorporated in this paragraph by reference.

    We are subject to certain mandatory restrictions under the Prompt Corrective Action statute and the Federal Reserve Bank could impose other significant requirements.

    As a result of the reductions in the Bank’s capital disclosed elsewhere in this report, the capital category of the Bank 
    for purposes of the federal Prompt Corrective Action statute, 12 U.S.C § 1831o (”PCA”), is “undercapitalized.” As an 

    undercapitalized bank, certain restrictions have automatically been imposed on the Bank as a matter of law. These restrictions prohibit the Bank, without prior approval, from paying dividends or making other capital distributions, increasing the Bank’s assets, expanding its operations through acquisitions or new branches or lines of business, and paying certain management fees to the Company. In addition, the Bank and the Company are required to submit a capital restoration plan (“CRP”) to the Federal Reserve, detailing the steps that will be taken to restore the Bank to at least the “adequately capitalized” category. As a condition of an acceptable CRP, the Company must provide a guarantee that the Bank’s will comply fully with the CRP until such time as the Bank has maintained capital ratios at least at the “adequately capitalized” level for four consecutive calendar quarters, and appropr iate assurances by the Company of its performance under such guarantee. If the Bank and Company were to fail to submit an acceptable CRP, or if the Bank were to become “significantly undercapitalized,” as defined in the PCA statute, the Federal Reserve could impose additional requirements on the Bank. These could include requirements for the Bank to recapitalize or be acquired by another bank or bank holding company, maintain an adequate allowance for loan losses, further restrictions on interest rates paid by the Bank, asset growth, branching, transactions with affiliates, executive compensation, and directives that the Bank make changes in its executive management and board of directors.

    We may be subject to further regulatory enforcement actions.

    The FRB, the California Department of Financial Institutions (“DFI”), the Company and the Bank entered into a joint written agreement dated as of April 7, 2009 (the “Agreement”). See the discussion under the caption “Regulatory Matters” in the M D & A, which is incorporated in this paragraph by reference. As a result of being “undercapitalized” under the PCA statute, we were required to submit an acceptable CRP to the FRB. As of the date of this report, the FRB had not accepted the Bank’s proposed CRP. If the CRP that we have submitted is unacceptable to the FRB or we become “significantly undercapitalized”, the FRB will likely impose a Prompt Corrective Action Directive on the Bank. We cannot predict wit h any certainty the terms of any such Directive, however, it is possible that a Directive could include substantially all of the requirements outlined in the above paragraph. Additionally, under certain circumstances, the FRB and the DFI have the legal authority to impose additional formal enforcement actions against the Company and/or the Bank upon determining that either or both entities have further financial, managerial or capital deficiencies, if the provisions of the Agreement are violated or if the FRB finds our proposed capital restoration plan submitted pursuant to the PCA to be unacceptable. Enforcement actions can include, among other things, cease and desist orders, capital directives and civil money penalty actions. If the Bank or the Company fails to comply with or breaches the requirements in the Agreement, under the PCA statute, or any subsequent order or directive, federal and DFI regulators may take further action to remedy or resolve such failures or breaches which could materially adverse ly impact the prospects, business and future operations of the Company and Bank and could threaten the Company’s and the Bank’s viability as going concerns. No assurance can be given that state or federal regulators will not take further enforcement action against us including potentially closing the Bank.

    Accounting Risks

    The accuracy of the Company’s judgments and estimates about financial and accounting matters will impact operating results and financial condition.

    The discussion under “Critical Accounting Policies” in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in Part I, Item 2, of this report and the information referred to in that discussion is incorporated by reference in this paragraph. The Company makes certain estimates and judgments in preparing its financial statements. The quality and accuracy of those estimates and judgments will have an impact on the Company’s operating results and financial condition. Please refer to the information under “Controls and Procedures” in Part I, Item 4 of this report for a discussion indicating that after the Company’s original report on Form 10-Q for June 30, 2009 was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, management concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of that date were not effective and that a material weakness in the Comp any’s internal control of financial reporting existed as of June 30, 2009. The information referred to in that discussion is incorporated herein. The Company’s management has now adopted modifications to its disclosure controls and procedures and internal control structure and procedures. While the Company believes these changes will

    48


    appropriately remediate the deficiencies that existed as of June 30, 2009, all such systems and procedures are subject to inherent limitations and there can be no assurance that any system of internal controls over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors.
