Item 2. Identity and Background

(a) The name, residence or business address, and the principal
occupation or employment and the name, principal business and
address of any corporation or other organization in which such
employment is conducted, of each executive officer and director and
each controlling person, if any, of the reporting persons named
above is set forth in Exhibit A hereto. To the best knowledge of
the persons listed in Item 2 hereof, each person listed on Exhibit
A is a  United States citizen and, during the last five years, no
person listed in Exhibit A attached (i) has been convicted in a
criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar
misdemeanors) or (ii) has been a party to a civil proceeding of a
judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a
result of such proceeding was or is subject to, a judgment, decree
or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or
mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws
or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

Item 3.  Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

The securities reported herein were acquired with funds of
approximately $1.9 million (including brokerage commissions). All
such funds were provided from investment capital of FMAI's
respective advisory clients.

Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction

The securities covered by this Statement were acquired by FMAI's
advisory clients for the purpose of investment. Neither FMAI nor
any executive officer or director of FMAI, has any present plans or
intentions to acquire or dispose of any securities of the Issuer
other than on behalf of FMAI's clients for the purpose of
investment.

FMAI has reviewed the publicly available information regarding the
Issuer, including 13D filings of, among others, Basswood Partners,
L.P., ("Basswood"), the largest shareholder of the Issuer, and what
appears to be the Issuer's response to the Basswood 13D as reported
in the media. Based upon this information, it appears to FMAI that
Basswood is essentially calling for the sale of the Issuer, while
the Issuer's management is proposing an acquisition strategy to
increase significantly the size of the Issuer.

FMAI strongly disagrees with the approach advocated by the Issuer.
Over the past six months, community banks in Southern California
have been consolidating at an accelerating rate. A huge jump in the
prices paid for these banks has accompanied this increased merger
activity. Recently, acquirers have paid prices that FMAI believes
are too high in that they significantly overvalue the "franchises"
being purchased. These deals are being "justified" by the use of
common stock trading at unrealistically high values as the
acquisition currency. In addition, many of the acquirers in these
recent deals are managed by people with a track record of superior
financial performance and successful integration of previous
acquisitions.

The Issuer possesses neither of these characteristics. Its Common
Stock has traded at a significant discount to other financial
institutions until the recent rumors concerning the Issuer itself
being a possible takeover candidate and the subsequent 13D filing
by Basswood. As for the track record of the Issuer's management,
the Issuer's mediocre financial performance speaks for itself. FMAI
would be unwilling to rely on the Issuer's present management as
the driver of an acquisition strategy, even at prices at levels
less than the ones prevailing currently. Consequently, FMAI concurs
with the conclusion
reached by Basswood that the Issuer should be sold. FMAI has
communicated its position to the Issuer's management and board of
directors.

In the future, FMAI may decide to purchase on behalf of its
advisory clients additional shares of the Common Stock or other
securities of the Issuer. In addition, FMAI may cause its advisory
clients to dispose of any or all securities of the Issuer in any
manner permitted by applicable securities laws. FMAI's advisory
clients reserve the right to exercise any and all of their
respective rights as a stockholder of the Issuer in a manner
consistent with their equity interests.

Other than as described above, neither FMAI nor any executive
officer or director of FMAI, has any present plans or proposals
which relate to or would result in:

(i) an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger,
reorganization or liquidation, involving the Issuer or any of its
subsidiaries;

(ii) the sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the
Issuer or any of its subsidiaries;

(iii) any change in the present board of directors or management of
the Issuer, including any plans or proposals to change the number
or term of directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the
board;

(iv) any material change in the present capitalization or dividend
policy of the Issuer;

(v) any other material change in the Issuer's business or corporate
structure;

(vi) changes in the Issuer's charter, bylaws or instruments
corresponding thereto or other actions which may impede the
acquisition of control of the Issuer by any person;

(vii) causing a class of securities of the Issuer to be delisted
from a national securities exchange or to cease to be authorized to
be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered
national securities association;

(viii) a class of equity security of the Issuer becoming eligible
for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934; or

(ix) any action similar to any of those enumerated above.

Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer

(a-b) One or more of FMAI's advisory clients is the owner of
401,700 shares of the Common Stock representing approximately 5.4%
of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. One of FMAI's clients,
The Common Fund, is the owner of 385,700 shares (or approximately
5.2%) of the Common Stock. Since FMAI's advisory contracts with its
clients grant to FMAI sole voting and investment power over the
securities owned by its advisory clients, including The Common
Fund, FMAI may be deemed to be, for purposes of Rule 13d-3 under
the 1934 Act (the "1934 Act"), the beneficial owner of the
securities covered by this Statement.

FMAI is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Franklin Resources, Inc.
("FRI"). Charles B. Johnson and Rupert H. Johnson, Jr. (the
"Principal Shareholders") each own in excess of 10% of the
outstanding Common Stock of FRI and are the principal shareholders
of FRI. FRI and the Principal Shareholders therefore may be deemed
to be, for purposes of Rule 13d-3 under the 1934 Act, the
beneficial owner of securities held by persons and entities advised
by FRI or its subsidiaries. However, no investment advisory
personnel of FRI or of any of its subsidiaries other than FMAI are
involved in the investment management decisions of FMAI. Moreover,
FMAI, FRI and the Principal Shareholders each disclaim any economic
interest or beneficial ownership in any of the securities covered
by this Statement owned by advisory clients of FRI or any of its
subsidiaries.

Furthermore, FRI, FMAI, and the Principal Shareholders are of the
view that they are not acting as a "group" for purposes of Section
13(d) under the 1934 Act and that they are not otherwise required
to attribute to each other the "beneficial ownership" of securities
held by any of them or by any persons or entities advised by FRI or
its subsidiaries.

The Common Fund is of the view that it is not a member of a "group"
for purposes of Section 13(d) under the 1934 Act with any of the
other filing persons. The Common Fund also has no position with
respect to the voting or disposition of the securities covered by
this Statement.

(c) There have been no transactions in the shares of the Common
Stock within the past sixty days.

(d) No person other than respective advisory clients of FMAI have
the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of
dividends from, or the proceeds of the sale of the securities being
reported herein.

(e) Not applicable.

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings, or Relationships
with Respect
to Securities of the Issuer

No persons named in Item 2 herein, nor to the best of such person's
knowledge, no person named in Exhibit A hereto, has any contract,
arrangement, understanding or relationship (legal or otherwise)
with any person with respect to any securities of the Issuer,
including, but not limited to, transfer or voting of any
securities, finders' fees, joint ventures, loan or option
arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees of profits, division of
profits or losses, or the giving or withholding of proxies.
