Pacific State Bancorp and Subsidiary
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. GENERAL

Pacific State Bancorp is a holding company with one bank subsidiary, Pacific State Bank, (the “Bank”), and two unconsolidated subsidiary grantor trusts, Pacific State Statutory Trusts II and III.  Pacific State Bancorp commenced operations on June 24, 2002 after acquiring all of the outstanding shares of Pacific State Bank.  The Bank is a California state chartered bank formed on November 2, 1987. The Bank is a member of the Federal Reserve System. The Bank’s primary source of revenue is interest on loans to customers who are predominantly small to middle-market businesses and middle-income individuals.  Pacific State Statutory Trusts II and III are unconsolidated, wholly owned statutory business trusts formed in March 2004 and June 2007, respectively for the exclusive purpose of issuing and selling trust preferred securities.

The Bank conducts general commercial banking business, primarily in the five county region that comprises Alameda, Calaveras, San Joaquin, Stanislaus and Tuolumne counties, and offers commercial banking services to residents and employers of businesses in the Bank’s service area, including professional firms and small to medium sized retail and wholesale businesses and manufacturers.  The Company, as of May 8, 2009, had 92 employees. The Bank does not engage in any non-banking related lines of business. The business of the Bank is not to any significant degree seasonal in nature.  The Bank has no operations outside California and has no material amount of loans or deposits concentrated among any one or few persons, groups or industries.  The Bank operates nine branches with its Administrative Office located at 1899 W. March Lane, in Stockton, California; additional branches are located in the communities of Angels Camp, Arnold, Groveland, Lodi, Modesto, Stockton, Tracy, and Hayward, California.  Pacific State Bancorp common stock trades on the NASDAQ Global Market under the symbol of “PSBC”.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position of Pacific State Bancorp (the "Company") at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, and the results of its operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, and its cash flows for the six month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 in conformity with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

Certain disclosures normally presented in the notes to the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for annual financial statements have been omitted.  The Company believes that the disclosures in the interim condensed consolidated financial statements are adequate to make the information not misleading. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's 2008 Annual Report to Shareholders.   The results of operations for the three and six month period ended June 30, 2009 may not necessarily be indicative of the operating results for the full year.

In preparing such financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet and revenues and expenses for the period.  Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.  Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant changes in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, the provision for income taxes and the estimated fair value of investment securities.

Management has determined that all of the commercial banking products and services offered by the Company are available in each branch of the Bank, that all branches are located within the same economic environment and that management does not allocate resources based on the performance of different lending or transaction activities. Accordingly, the Company and its subsidiary operate as one business segment. No customer accounts for more than 10% of the revenue for the Bank or the Company.

4. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company is party to claims and legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business.  In the opinion of the Company’s management, the ultimate liability with respect to such proceedings will not have a materially adverse effect on the financial condition or results of operations of the Company as a whole.

In the normal course of business there are outstanding various commitments to extend credit which are not reflected in the consolidated financial statements, including loan commitments of approximately $36,553,000 and $55,522,000 and stand-by letters of credit of $1,587,000 and $1,557,000 at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively.  However, all such commitments will not necessarily culminate in actual extensions of credit by the Company.

Approximately $3,655,000 of the loan commitments outstanding at June 30, 2009 are for real estate loans and are expected to fund within the next twelve months.  The remaining commitments primarily relate to revolving lines of credit or other commercial loans, and many of these 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 a third 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. The deferred liability related to the Company’s stand-by letters of credit was not significant at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008.

5. EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE COMPUTATION

Basic earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period.  Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that could occur if outstanding stock options were exercised.   Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period plus the weighted average dilutive effect of outstanding options.  In the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company recognized a net loss.  Due to the net loss, the diluted loss per share is equal to the basic loss per share.  At June 30, 2009, the Company had 519,000 anti-dilutive shares outstanding.

6. COMPREHENSIVE (LOSS) INCOME

Comprehensive (loss) income is reported in addition to net (loss) income for all periods presented.  Comprehensive (loss) income is made up of net (loss) income plus other comprehensive income or loss.  Other comprehensive income or loss, net of taxes, is comprised of the unrealized gains or losses on available-for-sale investment securities.  The following table shows total comprehensive (loss) income and its components for the periods indicated:

7. STOCK –BASED COMPENSATION

Stock Option Plan

The Company’s only stock-based compensation plan, the Pacific State Bancorp 1997 Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”), terminated in 2007. The Plan requires that the option price may not be less than the fair market value of the stock at the date the option is granted, and that the stock must be paid in full at the time the option is exercised. The options expire on a date determined by the Board of Directors, but not later than ten years from the date of grant. The vesting period is determined by the Board of Directors and is generally over five years.  New shares are issued upon the exercise of options

Stock Option Compensation

There were no stock options granted in the six month period ended June 30, 2009 and none granted for the six months ended June 30, 2008.  For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, the compensation cost recognized for stock option compensation was $14,000 and $28,000 in 2009 and $86,000 and $171,000 in 2008, respectively. The excess tax benefits were not significant for the Company.

At June 30, 2009, the total compensation cost related to nonvested stock option awards granted to employees under the Company’s stock option plans but not yet recognized was $172,000.  This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average remaining period of 3.25 years and will be adjusted for subsequent changes in estimated forfeitures.

8. INCOME TAXES

The Company files its income taxes on a consolidated basis with its subsidiaries. The allocation of income tax expense (benefit) represents each entity’s proportionate share of the consolidated provision for income taxes.
 
The Company accounts for income taxes using the liability or balance sheet method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the tax consequences of temporary differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment. On the consolidated balance sheet, net deferred tax assets are included in accrued interest receivable and other assets.
 
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes
 
The benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any.  Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority.  The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above is reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying balance sheet along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination.  The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits, if applicable, as a component of interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations.  There have been no significant changes to unrecognized tax benefits or accrued interest and penalties for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009.

9.  FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT
 
The measurement of fair value under US GAAP uses a hierarchy intended to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.  This hierarchy uses three levels of inputs to measure the fair value of assets and liabilities as follows:
 
Level 1: Quoted prices in active exchange markets for identical assets or liabilities; also includes certain U.S. Treasury and other U.S. government and agency securities actively traded in over-the-counter markets.
 
Level 2: Observable inputs other than Level 1 including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in less active markets, or other observable inputs that can be corroborated by observable market data; also includes derivative contracts whose value is determined using a pricing model with observable market inputs or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data.  This category generally includes certain U.S. government and agency securities, corporate debt securities, derivative instruments, and residential mortgage loans held for sale.
 
Level 3: Unobservable inputs supported by little or no market activity for financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation; also includes observable inputs for single dealer nonbinding quotes not corroborated by observable market data. This category generally includes certain private equity investments, retained interests from securitizations, and certain collateralized debt obligations.
 
Assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis comprised the following at June 30, 2009:

The investment securities measured at fair value utilizing Level 1 and Level 2 inputs are obligations of the U.S. Treasury, agencies and corporations of the U.S. government, including mortgage-backed securities, bank eligible obligations of any state or political subdivision in the U.S., bank eligible corporate obligations, including private-label mortgage-backed securities and common stocks issued by various unrelated banking holding companies.  The fair values used by the Company are obtained from an independent pricing service and represent either quoted market prices for the identical securities (Level 1 inputs) or fair values determined by pricing models that consider observable market data, such as interest rate volatilities, LIBOR yield curve, credit spreads and prices from market makers and live trading systems.
 
The investment security measured at fair value using Level 3 inputs is a collateralized debt obligations, with a total book value of $125,000 for which there is not an active market and the Company recorded an other than temporary impairment charge on in the second quarter of 2009.  The Company uses multiple input factors to determine the fair value of these securities.  Those input factors are discounted cash flow analysis, structure of the security in relation to current level of deferrals and/or defaults, changes in credit ratings, financial condition of the debtors within the underlying securities, broker quotes for securities with similar structure and credit risk, interest rate movements and pricing of new issuances.

Certain financial assets and financial liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis; that is, the instruments are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances (for example, when there is evidence of impairment).  Financial assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis included the following:
 
Impaired Loans: Impaired loans are measured and reported at fair value in accordance with the provisions of FASB SFAS No. 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan.   Management’s determination of the fair value for these loans represents the estimated net proceeds to be received from the sale of the collateral based on observable market prices and market value provided by independent, licensed or certified appraisers (Level 2 Inputs).  At June 30, 2009, impaired loans with an aggregate outstanding principal balance of $40.7 million were measured and reported at a fair value of $38.1 million.  During the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company recognized losses on impaired loans of $3.98 million and $4.98 million, respectively, through the allowance for loan losses.
 
Other real estate owned -   Other real estate owned represents real estate which the Company has taken control of in partial or full satisfaction of loans. At the time of foreclosure, other real estate owned is recorded at the fair value of the real estate less costs to sell, which becomes the property’s new basis.

The methodologies for estimating the fair value of financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis are discussed above.  For certain financial assets and liabilities, carrying value approximates fair value due to the nature of the financial instrument.  These instruments include cash and cash equivalents, demand and other non-maturity deposits and overnight borrowings.  The Company used the following methods and assumptions in estimating the fair value of the following financial instruments:
 
Loans: The fair value of performing variable rate loans that reprice frequently and performing demand loans, with no significant change in credit risk, is based on carrying value.  The fair value of fixed rate performing loans is estimated using discounted cash flow analyses and interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality.
 
The fair value of significant nonperforming loans is based on either the estimated fair value of underlying collateral or estimated cash flows, discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk.  Assumptions regarding credit risk, cash flows, and discount rates are determined using available market information and specific borrower information.
 
Deposits: The fair value of fixed maturity certificates of deposit is estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation based on current rates offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.
  
Borrowings: The fair value of long-term borrowings is estimated using discounted cash flow analysis based on rates currently available to the Company for borrowings with similar terms.
 
Junior Subordinated Notes Held by Subsidiary Trust: The fair value of the junior subordinated notes held by subsidiary trust is estimated using current market rates of securities with similar risk and remaining maturity.
 
Bank premises and equipment, customer relationships, deposit base, banking center networks, and other information required to compute the Company’s aggregate fair value are not included in the above information.  Accordingly, the above fair values are not intended to represent the aggregate fair value of the Company.

10. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

On June 29, 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification TM and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles­ ­– a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162 (“SFAS 168”) .  SFAS 168 establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification TM as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP.  SFAS 168 will be effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009, for most entities.  On the effective date, all non-SEC accounting and reporting standards will be superceded.  Pacific State Bancorp will adopt SFAS 168 for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2009, as required, and adoption is not expected to have a material impact on Pacific State Bancorp’s financial statements taken as a whole.

On June 12, 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 166, Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets (“SFAS 166”), and SFAS No.167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R) (“SFAS 167”), which change the way entities account for securitizations and special-purpose entities.

SFAS 166 is a revision to FASB SFAS No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities , and will require more information about transfers of financial assets, including securitization transactions, and where companies have continuing exposure to the risks related to transferred financial assets.  SFAS 166 also eliminates the concept of a “qualifying special-purpose entity”, changes the requirements for derecognizing financial assets and requires additional disclosures.

SFAS 167 is a revision to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities , and changes how a company determines when an entity that is insufficiently capitalized or is not controlled through voting (or similar rights) should be consolidated.  The determination of whether a company is required to consolidate an entity is based on, among other things, an entity’s purpose and design and a company’s ability to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance.

Both SFAS 166 and SFAS 167 will be effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter.  Earlier application is prohibited.  The recognition and measurement provisions of SFAS 166 shall be applied to transfers that occur on or after the effective date.  Pacific State Bancorp will adopt both SFAS 166 and SFAS 167 on January 1, 2010, as required.  Management has not determined the impact adoption may have on Pacific State Bancorp’s consolidated financial statements.

-12-

 
On May 28, 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, Subsequent Events (“SFAS 165”).  Under SFAS 165, companies are required to evaluate events and transactions that occur after the balance sheet date but before the date the financial statements are issued, or available to be issued in the case of non-public entities.  SFAS 165 requires entities to recognize in the financial statements the effect of all events or transactions that provide additional evidence of conditions that existed at the balance sheet date, including the estimates inherent in the financial preparation process.  Entities shall not recognize the impact of events or transactions that provide evidence about conditions that did not exist at the balance sheet date but arose after that date.  SFAS 165 also requires entities to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated.  SFAS 165 was effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009.  Pacific State Bancorp adopted the provisions of SFAS 165 for the quarter ended June 30, 2009, as required, and adoption did not have a material impact on Pacific State Bancorp’s financial statements taken as a whole.  The adoption of SFAS 165 did not impact the Company’s financial position or results of operations. The Company evaluated all events or transactions that occurred from June 30, 2009 to August 14, 2009, the date the Company issued these financial statements.

On April 1, 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 141(R)-1, Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies (“FSP 141(R)-1”).  FSP 141(R)-1 provides additional guidance regarding the recognition, measurement and disclosure of assets and liabilities arising from contingencies in a business combination.  FSP 141(R)-1 is effective for assets or liabilities arising from contingencies in business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008.  The impact of Pacific State Bancorp adopting FSP 141(R)-1 will depend on the timing of future acquisitions, as well as the nature and existence of contingencies associated with such acquisitions.
 
In April 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued the following three FASB Staff Positions (FSPs) intended to provide additional guidance and enhance disclosures regarding fair value measurements and impairment of securities:
 
FSP FAS 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly , provides additional guidance for estimating fair value in accordance with SFAS No. 157 when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have decreased significantly.  FSP FAS 157-4 also provides guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly.   The provisions of FSP FAS 157-4 were adopted by the Company on January 1, 2009 and did not have a significant effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
 
FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments ,   requires disclosures about fair value of financial instruments in interim reporting periods of publicly traded companies that were previously only required to be disclosed in annual financial statements.   The provisions of FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 were adopted by the Company on January 1, 2009 and the required disclosures are presented in Note 9.

FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments , amends current other-than-temporary impairment guidance in GAAP for debt securities to make the guidance more operational and to improve the presentation and disclosure of other-than-temporary impairments on debt and equity securities in the financial statements.  This FSP does not amend existing recognition and measurement guidance related to other-than-temporary impairments of equity securities.  The provisions of FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 were adopted by the Company on January 1, 2009.  Management has determined that there was no material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations from the adoption of the standards.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

There have been no changes to the Company’s critical accounting policies from those discussed in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the Company’s 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

OVERVIEW

The 2009 second quarter net loss of $4,565,000 compares to net income of $579,000 for the second quarter of 2008.  The decrease in net income compared to the second quarter of 2008 was primarily driven by significant increases in the provision for loan losses of $3,580,000, other real estate expense of $1,698,000, and an other than temporary impairment charge of $2,184,000 which was offset by a tax benefit of $3,326,000.  In addition to the items discussed above, the bank has experienced a contracting net interest margin as nonperforming assets increase and account for a greater portion of the balance sheet.
 
The 2009 first half net loss of $4,859,000 compares to net income of $1,673,000 for the first half of 2008.  The decrease in net income compared to the first half of 2008 was primarily driven by significant increases in the provision for loan losses of $4,342,000, other real estate expense of $2,129,000, and an other than temporary impairment charge of $2,184,000 which was offset by a tax benefit of $3,597,000.  In addition to the items discussed above, the bank has experienced a contracting net interest margin as nonperforming assets increase and account for a greater portion of the balance sheet.

The increased level of provision for loan losses is primarily the result of the Bank completing foreclosure on three large commercial real estate projects and complete charge-off of a large unsecured loan.  At the time of foreclosure new appraisals were ordered which reflected a significant decline in the value of the projects from late 2008 when the last appraisals were received.  The Bank also experienced some additional credit deterioration in the second quarter of 2009, although the rate at which deterioration is occurring appears to have slowed.  The Bank has been negatively affected by declining real estate values and economic environment of the region where the Company operates.  Other real estate expense is primarily the result of selling and administration costs related to the foreclosure of the properties discussed above, and also reflects decreasing prices experienced in the market for the type of other real estate the Bank currently owns.  The other than temporary impairment charge was related to a single issue trust preferred security which announced deferral of interest payments.  This action caused the value of the security to decline significantly and credit agency downgrades which prompted the other than temporary impairment charge.  The contraction of the net interest margin in 2009 compared to 2008 was primarily the result of higher levels of nonaccrual loans and nonperforming assets.  Nonaccrual loans have the effect of driving down loan portfolio yields, causing a contraction in the net interest margin.
 
The annualized loss on average assets was 4.36% for the three month period ended June 30, 2009 compared to an annualized return on average assets of 0.51% for the same period in 2008.  The annualized loss on average equity was 70.47% for the three month period June 30, 2009 compared to a return on annualized average assets of 6.50% for the same period in 2008. The loss on average assets and loss on average equity compared to a return on average assets and average equity for the same time period in 2008 is primarily attributable to the net loss recorded for the second quarter of 2009 compared to net income in 2008.

The annualized loss on average assets was 2.38% for the six month period ended June 30, 2009 compared to an annualized return on average assets of 0.77% for the same period in 2008.  The annualized loss on average equity was 36.67% for the six month period June 30, 2009 compared to a return on annualized average assets of 9.60% for the same period in 2008. The loss on average assets and loss on average equity compared to a return on average assets and average equity for the same time period in 2008 is primarily attributable to the net loss recorded for the first half of 2009 compared to net income in 2008.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2009

The Company recorded a net loss of $4,565,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 compared to net income of $579,000 for the same period in 2008.  The primary contributors to the decrease in net income for the three months ended June 30, 2009 were the (1) increase in provision for loan losses of $3,580,000, (2) Other than temporary impairment charge of $2,184,000, (3) increase of other real estate expense of $1,698,000 and (4) $800,000 decrease in net interest income.  These changes were partially offset by a decreased provision for income taxes of $3,767,000.  The decrease in the provision for income taxes is primarily a result of the decrease in taxable income.  The Company recorded a basic loss per share of $1.23 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 from basic earnings per share of $0.16 for the same period in 2008.  The Company recorded a diluted loss per share of $1.23 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 from diluted earnings per share of $0.15 for the same period in 2008.

Net interest income is the interest earned on debt securities, loans (including yield-related loan fees) and other interest-earning assets minus the interest paid for deposits and long-term and short-term debt. The net interest margin is the average yield on earning assets minus the average interest rate paid for deposits and our other sources of funding.

The decreased net interest income performance is primarily the result of the Bank experiencing a contraction in its net interest margin.  The contraction of the net interest margin is the result of an increased level of nonaccrual loans and nonperforming assets.  Increased levels of nonaccrual loans have the effect of reducing loan yields over the time period.  Increased levels of nonaccrual loans coupled with decreasing market rates charged on loan balances have caused the yields earned on the loan portfolio to decrease from 7.58% for the second quarter of 2008 to 6.37% for the second quarter of 2009.  The yield earned on all interest earning assets in the second quarter of 2009 totaled 5.64% compared to 7.09% for the same time period in 2008.  In addition to the decrease in yields earned on assets, total average earning assets decreased $41,719,000 to $368,366,000 for the second quarter of 2009 from $410,085,000 for the same time period in 2008.  The decrease in average earning assets occurred primarily in the loan portfolio where average balances decreased $30,553,000 or 9.3% to $298,454,000 in the second quarter of 2009 from $329,007,000 for the same time period in 2008.

The net interest margin for the three months ended June 30, 2009 decreased 45 basis points to 3.32%, from 3.77% for the same period in 2008.  The decrease in interest income described above was offset by a decrease in the level of funding and rate paid for the funding of assets during the second quarter of 2009 compared to the same time period in 2008.  The cost of funding in the second quarter of 2009 totaled 2.58% compared to 3.89% in the second quarter of 2008.  The cost of funding decreased primarily because of decreased market rates paid for deposits and borrowings during the second quarter of 2009 compared to the same time period in 2008.  In addition to decreased rates paid on deposits, the average balance on which interest was paid decreased by $18,905,000 to $330,782,000 for the second quarter of 2009 from $349,687,000 for the same period in 2008.  The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease of $27,536,000 in time deposits to $200,138,000 for the second quarter of 2009 from $227,674,000 for the same time period in 2008.

Provision for loan losses

The Company recorded $4,180,000 in provision for loan losses for the three month period ended June 30, 2009, an increase of $3,580,000 from $600,000 for the same period in 2008.  The increase in the provision is based on management’s assessment of the required level of reserves.  Management assesses loan quality monthly to maintain an adequate allowance for loan losses.  Based on the information currently available, management believes that the allowance for loan losses is adequate to absorb probable losses in the portfolio.  However, no assurance can be given that the Company may not sustain charge-offs which are in excess of the allowance in any given period.  The Company’s loan portfolio composition and non-performing assets are further discussed under the “Financial Condition” section below.

Non-Interest (Loss) Income

During the three months ended June 30, 2009, the total non-interest loss was $(1,692,000).  This non-interest loss compares to non-interest income of $597,000 for the comparable period in 2008.  The primary reason for the non-interest loss in the second quarter of 2009 was the other than temporary impairment charge of $2,184,000 that was recorded during the period.  The Bank has also experienced a decline in service charges and gain on the sale of loans.  The decline in service charges of $67,000 is primarily related to decreased deposit activity and the decrease in loan sales of $66,000 was related to a fewer number of sales compared to the same time period in 2008.

Non-Interest Expenses

Non-interest expenses ordinarily consist of salaries and related employee benefits, occupancy, furniture and equipment expenses, professional fees, appraisal fees, directors’ fees, postage, stationary and supplies expenses, telephone expenses, data processing expenses, advertising and promotion expense and other operating expenses. Non-interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2009 was $5,067,000 compared to $2,825,000 for the same period in 2008, representing an increase of $2,242,000 or 79%. The increase is primarily the result of expenses related to other real estate of $1,698,000 in the second quarter of 2009 and no expense related to other real estate in the second quarter of 2008.  For further information on other real estate please see the section titled "Other real estate owned" included in this report. The decrease in occupancy was primarily related to moving from a leased facility to an owned facility.  Furniture and equipment expense increase is attributable to increased costs of maintaining facilities and the addition of the new branch located at 1547 East March Lane, Stockton. The increase in other expense of $532,000 is primarily the result of increased legal fees associated with loan collection and increased FDIC assessments of $466,000.

Income Taxes

The Company’s provision for income taxes includes both federal income and state franchise taxes and reflects the application of federal and state statutory rates to the Company’s net income before taxes.  The principal difference between statutory tax rates and the Company’s effective tax rate is the benefit derived from investing in tax-exempt securities and Company owned life insurance.  Increases and decreases in the provision for taxes reflect changes in the Company’s net income before tax. The Company’s effective tax rate for the three month period ended June 30, 2009 resulted in a benefit of 42.1% of pretax loss compared to a provision of 43.2% for the same period in 2008.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2009

The Company recorded a net loss of $4,859,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to net income of $1,673,000 for the same period in 2008.  The primary contributors to the decrease in net income for the six months ended June 30, 2009 were the (1) increase in provision for loan losses of $4,342,000, (2) Other than temporary impairment charge of $2,184,000, (3) increase of other real estate expense of $2,129,000 and (4) $1,394,000 decrease in net interest income.  These changes were partially offset by a decreased provision for income taxes of $4,630,000.  The decrease in the provision for income taxes is primarily a result of decrease in taxable income.  The Company recorded a basic loss per share of $1.31 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 from basic earnings per share of $0.45 for the same period in 2008.  The Company recorded a diluted loss per share of $1.31 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 from diluted earnings per share of $0.43 for the same period in 2008.

Net interest income is the interest earned on debt securities, loans (including yield-related loan fees) and other interest-earning assets minus the interest paid for deposits and long-term and short-term debt. The net interest margin is the average yield on earning assets minus the average interest rate paid for deposits and our other sources of funding.

The decreased net interest income performance is primarily the result of the Bank experiencing a contraction in its net interest margin.  The contraction of the net interest margin is the result of an increased level of nonaccrual loans and nonperforming assets.  Increased levels of nonaccrual loans have the effect of reducing loan yields over the time period.  Increased levels of nonaccrual loans coupled with decreasing market rates charged on loan balances have caused the yields earned on the loan portfolio to decrease from 7.84% for the first half of 2008 to 6.51% for the first half of 2009.  The yield earned on all interest earning assets in the first half of 2009 totaled 5.91% compared to 7.35% for the same time period in 2008.  In addition to the decrease in yields earned on assets, total average earning assets decreased $31,654,000 to $366,273,000 for the first half of 2009 from $397,927,000 for the same time period in 2008.  The decrease in average earning assets occurred primarily in the loan portfolio where average balances decreased $22,933,000 or 7.1% to $302,303,000 in the first half of 2009 from $325,236,000 for the same time period in 2008.

The net interest margin for the six months ended June 30, 2009 decreased 42 basis points to 3.51%, from 3.93% for the same period in 2008.  The decrease in interest income described above was offset by a decrease in the level of funding and rate paid for the funding of assets during the first half of 2009 compared to the same time period in 2008.  The cost of funding in the first half of 2009 totaled 2.71% compared to 4.04% for the same time period in 2008.  The cost of funding decreased primarily because of decreased market rates paid for deposits and borrowings during the first half of 2009 compared to the same time period in 2008.  In addition to decreased rates paid on deposits and borrowings, the average balance on which interest was paid decreased by $12,748,000 to $324,249,000 for the first half of 2009 from $336,997,000 for the same period in 2008.  The decrease was attributable to a decrease of $19,869,000 in time deposits to $194,348,000 for the second quarter of 2009 from $214,217,000 for the same time period in 2008.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Total assets at June 30, 2009 were $402,996,000, a decrease of $18,457,000 or 4%, from the $421,453,000 at December 31, 2008.  The contraction in assets was primarily in the Company’s loan portfolio and securities portfolio.  The reduction in the size of the loan portfolio is primarily the result of assets being reclassified to other real estate, charge-offs and pay downs.  The investment portfolio decreased as a result of large principal pay downs in the mortgage backed section of the portfolio and the other than temporary impairment charge taken in the second quarter of 2009.  Pay downs have occurred as interest rates for mortgages have declined and borrowers prepay their mortgages at a faster rate.  The remainder of the balance sheet continued on a flat trend.

The bank experienced a slight decrease in deposits primarily in non-interest bearing deposits.  Non-interest bearing deposits decreased $14,642,000 or 21.0% to $55,232,000 at June 30, 2009 from $69,874,000 at December 31, 2008.  The decrease in non-interest bearing deposits is primarily the result of seasonal fluctuations in customer deposits at the end of 2008.  The loss in non-interest bearing deposits has been offset in part by an increase in interest bearing deposits of $10,255,000 or 3.8% to $281,361,000 at June 30, 2009 from $271,106,000 at December 31, 2008.  The increase in interest-bearing deposits is the result of an increased use of brokered deposits.  On June 30, 2009 the Bank utilized $37,629,000 in brokered deposits compared to $2,500,000 at December 31, 2008.

Loan portfolio composition

The Company concentrates its lending activities primarily within Calaveras, San Joaquin, Stanislaus, Tuolumne and Alameda Counties.

The Company manages its credit risk through diversification of its loan portfolio and the application of underwriting policies and procedures and credit monitoring practices. Although the Company has a diversified loan portfolio, a significant portion of its borrowers' ability to repay the loans is dependent upon the professional services and residential real estate development industry sectors. Generally, the loans are secured by real estate or other assets and are expected to be repaid from cash flows of the borrower or proceeds from the sale of collateral.

The following table illustrates loan balances and percentage changes from December 31, 2008 to June 30, 2009 by loan category:

The Company continues to manage the mix in its loan portfolio consistently with its identity as a community bank serving Northern California and the Central Valley.  The Bank has experienced contraction in its commercial, agricultural, construction and installment segments of the loan portfolio.  The contraction in these segments reflects the weak economic environment and customer deleveraging which continued from 2008 through the first half of 2009.  The real estate construction segment has been reduced significantly due to the completion of construction projects and a permanent loan being extended, pay downs on completed projects and foreclosure of certain projects which have been reclassified to other real estate owned.  The real estate commercial mortgage segment has increased primarily through permanent financing loans extended to completed construction projects already financed through the Bank.

Nonperforming loans

The Bank's level of nonperforming loans declined significantly in the first half of 2009.  There were loans in the amount of $23,560,000 on nonaccrual at December 31, 2008.  During the first half of 2009 the Bank either foreclosed on collateral of nonperforming loans resulting in an increase in other real estate owned or charged-off the loan balance.  At June 30, 2009 the Bank had loans in the amount of $10,392,000 on nonaccrual.  The forgone interest related to the loans on nonaccrual totaled $498,000 for the first half of 2009.   The Bank held an average of $15,743,000 on nonaccrual for the six month period ended June 30, 2009.  At present, management believes that the level of allowance of 2.00% of total loans at June 30, 2009 compared to 1.95% at December 31, 2008 is sufficient to provide for both specifically identified and probable losses.

Management has been proactive in working with problem customers to repay loans that have become delinquent or have the potential to become delinquent.  In most cases, personal guarantees and collateral value are sufficient to repay outstanding principal and interest.  In the cases where collateral value and personal guarantees have fallen short of the principal and interest owed on the loans, management has reserved for the estimated potential loss.  Management has also ordered real estate appraisals on all loans which are in foreclosure that are secured by real estate and on loans where we have identified potential problems.

Analysis of allowance for loan losses

In determining the amount of the Company’s Allowance for Loan Losses (“ALL”), management assesses the diversification of the portfolio. Each credit is assigned a credit risk rating factor, and this factor, multiplied by the dollars associated with the credit risk rating, is used to calculate one component of the ALL. In addition, management estimates the probable loss on individual credits that are receiving increased management attention due to actual or perceived increases in credit risk.

The Company makes provisions to the ALL on a regular basis through charges to operations that are reflected in the Company’s statements of operations as a provision for loan losses. When a loan is deemed uncollectible, it is charged against the allowance. Any recoveries of previously charged-off loans are credited back to the allowance. There is no precise method of predicting specific losses or amounts that ultimately may be charged-off on particular categories of the loan portfolio. Similarly, the adequacy of the ALL and the level of the related provision for possible loan losses is determined on a judgment basis by management based on consideration of a number of factors including (i) economic conditions, (ii) borrowers' financial condition, (iii) loan impairment, (iv) evaluation of industry trends, (v) industry and other concentrations, (vi) loans which are contractually current as to payment terms but demonstrate a higher degree of risk as identified by management, (vii) continuing evaluation of the performing loan portfolio, (viii) monthly review and evaluation of problem loans identified as having a loss potential, (ix) monthly review by the Board of Directors, (x) off balance sheet risks and (xi) assessments by regulators and other third parties. Management and the Board of Directors evaluate the allowance and determine its desired level considering objective and subjective measures, such as knowledge of the borrowers' businesses, valuation of collateral, the determination of impaired loans and exposure to potential losses.

While Management uses available information to recognize losses on loans, future additions to the allowance may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions and other qualitative factors. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Company’s ALL. Such agencies may require the Company to provide additions to the allowance based on their judgment of information available to them at the time of their examination. There is uncertainty concerning future economic trends. Accordingly, it is not possible to predict the effect future economic trends may have on the level of the provision for loan losses in future periods.

-25-

 
The adequacy of the ALL is calculated upon three components. First, is the credit risk rating of the loan portfolio, including all outstanding loans and leases.  Every extension of credit has been assigned a risk rating based upon a comprehensive definition intended to measure the inherent risk of lending money.  Each rating has an assigned risk factor expressed as a reserve percentage. Central to this assigned risk factor is the historical loss record of the Company. Secondly, established specific reserves are available for individual loans currently on management's watch and high-grade loan lists. These are the estimated potential losses associated with specific borrowers based upon the collateral and event(s) causing the risk ratings. The third component is unallocated. This reserve is for qualitative factors that may effect the portfolio as a whole, such as those factors described above.

Management believes the assigned risk grades and our methods for managing risk are satisfactory.

Other real estate owned

At December 31, 2008, the Company had $2,029,000 invested in properties acquired through foreclosure.  In the first half of 2009, the Company foreclosed on six more properties totaling $13,847,000. The Company received proceeds of $1,587,000 on properties sold during the first half of 2009, recorded impairment on properties previously recorded into other real estate of $490,000 and recorded a loss on the sale other real estate of $52,000.  At June 30, 2009, the carrying value of all properties was $13,524,000. These properties were carried at the lower of their estimated market value, as evidenced by an independent appraisal less estimated selling expenses. At foreclosure, if the fair value of the real estate is less than the Company’s recorded investment in the related loan, a charge is made to the allowance for loan losses. If the value of the property is subsequently determined to be less than the recorded investment in the property, an impairment on the property is recorded.  No assurance can be given that the Company will sell the properties during 2009 or at any time or for an amount that will be sufficient to recover the Company’s investment in these properties. 
 
Investment securities

Investment securities decreased $7,932,000 to $31,806,000 at June 30, 2009, from $39,738,000 at December 31, 2008.  The decrease was the result of activity related to mortgage backed security principle payments, asset allocation management, funds reinvestment and the other than temporary impairment charge recorded in the second quarter.  Federal funds sold increased $6,572,000 to $28,383,000 at June 30, 2009, from $21,811,000 at December 31, 2008.  The increase in federal funds sold was primarily the result of a decrease in the investment and loan portfolios.

The Company’s investment in U.S. Treasury securities decreased to 16% of the investment portfolio at June 30, 2009 compared to 23% at December 31, 2008.  Obligations of U.S. Agencies increased to 6% of the investment portfolio at June 31, 2009, and were not part of the portfolio at December 31, 2008.  The Company’s investment in mortgage backed securities increased to 61% of the investment portfolio at June 30, 2009 compared to 59% at December 31, 2008.  The Company’s investment in corporate bonds decreased to 7% of the investment portfolio at June 30, 2009 compared to 10% at December 31, 2008. Tax-exempt municipal obligation bonds increased to 10% at June 30, 2009 compared to 8% of the investment portfolio at December 31, 2008.

Deposits

Total deposits were $336.6 million as of June 30, 2009 a decrease of $4.4 million or 1.3% from the December 31, 2008 balance of $341.0 million.  The Company continues to manage the mix of its deposits consistent with its identity as a community bank serving the financial needs of its customers.  Non-interest bearing demand deposits and interest bearing checking deposits increased to 21.8% of total deposits up from 20.5% at December 31, 2008.  Money market and savings accounts increased to 20.4% of total deposits from 18.8% at December 31, 2008.  Time deposits decreased to 57.8% of total deposits from 60.7% at December 31, 2008.
 
The Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 included a provision for an increase in the amount of deposits insured by the FDIC. The $250,000 standard insurance limit is permanent for certain retirement accounts, which includes IRAs. The $250,000 limit is temporary for all other deposit accounts through December 31, 2013. On January 1, 2014, the standard insurance amount will return to $100,000 per depositor for all account categories except certain retirement accounts, which will remain at $250,000 per depositor.
 
CAPITAL RESOURCES

Capital adequacy is a measure of the amount of capital needed to sustain asset growth and act as a cushion for losses. Capital protects depositors and the deposit insurance fund from potential losses and is a source of funds for the investments the Company needs to remain competitive.  Historically, capital has been generated principally from the retention of earnings, stock offerings, issuance of junior subordinated debentures and FAS 123 stock options.

The recent losses incurred have reduced the Company’s Risk-Based Capital level to adequately capitalized. The Company is in the process of developing a Capital Plan to return the Company to a well capitalized status. The Risk-Based Capital computations for the Company are complex and are impacted by operating losses and various limitations including loan loss reserves which are limited to 125% of risk-based loans as well as deferred income taxes which generally cannot exceed 10% of Tier 1 risk-based capital.

In computing total risk-based capital, Management is required to take into consideration the deferred tax assets that may not be fully utilized. Specifically, Tier 1 capital will be reduced by an amount of deferred tax assets above 10% of Tier 1 risk-based capital that Management does not expect to realize beyond the next twelve months as described below.

Deferred Taxes: The Company has recorded a tax benefit of $3,326,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and $3,597,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009. These amounts have been recorded as a taxable loss being carried forward to offset future taxable income expected to be generated by the Company. 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 via the Company’s projection of future income, unrealized gains in real estate and unrealized gains in bank owned life insurance. Prospective losses could require the Company 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. Net deferred tax assets were $8.2 million at June 30, 2009.

At June 30, 2009 shareholders’ equity was $23,235,000 compared with $27,284,000 at December 31, 2008. Changes within shareholders’ equity reflect decreases from the net loss during the first half of 2009, stock based compensation expense, and a decrease in unrealized losses on available for sale securities.

Overall capital adequacy is monitored on a day-to-day basis by the Company’s management and reported to the Company’s Board of Directors on a monthly basis.  The Bank’s regulators measure capital adequacy by using a risk-based capital framework and by monitoring compliance with minimum leverage ratio guidelines. Under the risk-based capital standard, assets reported on the Company’s balance sheet and certain off-balance sheet items are assigned to risk categories, each of which is assigned a risk weight.

This standard characterizes an institution's capital as being "Tier 1" capital (defined as principally comprising shareholders' equity and the qualifying portion of subordinated debentures) and "Tier 2" capital (defined as principally comprising Tier 1 capital and the remaining qualifying portion of subordinated debentures and the qualifying portion of the ALL).

The minimum ratio of total risk-based capital to risk-adjusted assets, including certain off-balance sheet items, is 8%. At least one-half (4%) of the total risk-based capital is to be comprised of Tier 1 capital; the balance may consist of debt securities and a limited portion of the ALL.

As of June 30, 2009 the most recent notification by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) categorized the Bank as adequately capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action.  There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the Bank’s category.  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 leverage ratio consists of Tier I capital divided by quarterly average assets.  The minimum leverage ratio is 3 percent for banking organizations that do not anticipate significant growth and that have well-diversified risk, excellent asset quality and in general, are considered top-rated banks. For all other institutions the minimum rate is 4%.

LIQUIDITY

The purpose of liquidity management is to ensure efficient and economical funding of the Company’s assets consistent with the needs of the Company’s depositors, borrowers and, to a lesser extent, shareholders. This process is managed not by formally monitoring the cash flows from operations, investing and financing activities as described in the Company’s statement of cash flows, but through an understanding principally of depositor and borrower needs. As loan demand increases, the Company can use asset liquidity from maturing investments along with deposit growth to fund the new loans.

With respect to assets, liquidity is provided by cash and money market investments such as interest-bearing time deposits, federal funds sold, available-for-sale investment securities, and principal and interest payments on loans. With respect to liabilities, liquidity is provided by core deposits, shareholders' equity and the ability of the Company to borrow funds and to generate deposits.

Because estimates of the liquidity needs of the Company may vary from actual needs, the Company maintains a substantial amount of liquid assets to absorb short-term increases in loans or reductions in deposits. As loan demand decreases or loans are paid off, investment assets can absorb these excess funds or deposit rates can be decreased to run off excess liquidity. Therefore, there is some correlation between financing activities associated with deposits and investing activities associated with lending. The Company’s liquid assets (cash and due from banks, federal funds sold and available-for-sale investment securities) totaled $71.5 million or 17.7% of total assets at June 30, 2009 compared to $78.2 million or 18.6% of total assets at December 31, 2008. The Company expects that its primary source of liquidity will be acquisition of deposits and wholesale borrowing arrangements.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market risk is the risk of loss in a financial instrument arising from adverse changes in market rates such as interest rates, commodity prices and equity prices.  The Company’s market risk as a financial institution arises primarily from interest rate risk exposure.  Fluctuation in interest rates will ultimately impact both the level of income and expense recorded on a large portion of the Company’s assets and liabilities, and the market value of all interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities, other than those that possess a short term to maturity.  Based upon the nature of its operations, the Company is not subject to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange or commodity pricing.  However, the Company’s commercial real estate loan portfolio, concentrated primarily in Northern California, is subject to risks associated with the local economies.

The fundamental objective of the Company’s management of its assets and liabilities is to maximize the economic value of the Company while maintaining adequate liquidity and managing exposure to interest rate risk deemed by management to be acceptable.  Management believes an acceptable degree of exposure to interest rate risk results from management of assets and liabilities through using floating rate loans and deposits, maturities, pricing and mix to attempt to neutralize the potential impact of changes in market interest rates.  The Company’s profitability is dependent to a large extent upon its net interest income which is the difference between its interest income on interest earning assets, such as loans and securities, and interest expense on interest bearing liabilities, such as deposits, trust preferred securities and other borrowings.  The Company, like other financial institutions, is subject to interest rate risk to the degree that its interest earning assets reprice differently from its interest bearing liabilities.  The Company manages its mix of assets and liabilities with the goal of limiting exposure to interest rate risk, ensuring adequate liquidity, and coordinating its sources and uses of funds.

The Company seeks to control its interest rate risk exposure in a manner that will allow for adequate levels of earnings and capital over a range of possible interest rate environments.  The Company has adopted formal policies and practices to monitor and manage interest rate risk exposure.  As part of this effort, the Company measures interest rate risk utilizing both an internal asset liability measurement system as well as independent third party reviews to confirm the reasonableness of the assumptions used to measure and report the Company’s interest rate risk, enabling management to make any adjustments necessary.

Interest rate risk is managed by the Company’s Asset Liability Committee (“ALCO”), which includes members of senior management and several members of the Board of Directors.  The ALCO monitors interest rate risk by analyzing the potential impact on interest income from potential changes in interest rates and considers the impact of alternative strategies or changes in balance sheet structure.  The ALCO manages the Company’s balance sheet in part to maintain the potential impact on net interest income within acceptable ranges despite changes in interest rates.  The Company’s exposure to interest rate risk is reviewed on at least a quarterly basis by the ALCO.

In management’s opinion there has not been a material change in the Company’s market risk or interest rate risk profile for the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to December 31, 2008 as discussed under the caption "Liquidity and Market Risk" and "Net Interest Income Simulation" in the Company's 2008 Annual Report to Shareholders filed as an exhibit with the Company’s 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K, which is incorporated here by reference.

ITEM 4.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 
The Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this report of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a—15(e)), have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in its periodic SEC filings is recorded, processed and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to the Company (including its consolidated and unconsolidated subsidiaries) required to be included in the Company's periodic SEC filings. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including cost limitations, judgments used in decision making, assumptions regarding the likelihood of future events, soundness of internal controls, fraud, the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures.  Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance of achieving their control objectives. 
 

There were no significant changes in the Company's internal controls or in other factors during the period covered by this report that have materially affected or could significantly affect internal control over financial reporting.


PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION


ITEM 1A.  RISK FACTORS

The Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 included a provision for an increase in the amount of deposits insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) to $250,000. On October 14, 2008, the FDIC announced a new program ~ the Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program that provides unlimited deposit insurance on funds in noninterest-bearing transaction deposit accounts not otherwise covered by the existing deposit insurance limit of $250,000. All eligible institutions will be covered under the program for the first 30 days without incurring any costs. After the initial period, participating institutions will be assessed a 10 basis point surcharge on the additional insured deposits.
 
The behavior of depositors in regard to the level of FDIC insurance could cause our existing customers to reduce the amount of deposits held at the Bank, and could cause new customers to open deposit accounts at the Bank. The level and composition of the Bank's deposit portfolio directly impacts the Bank's funding cost and net interest margin.
 
The Federal Reserve Bank has been injecting vast amounts of liquidity into the banking system to compensate for weaknesses in short-term borrowing markets and other capital markets. A reduction in the Federal Reserve's activities or capacity could reduce liquidity in the markets, thereby increasing funding costs to the Bank or reducing the availability of funds to the Bank to finance its existing operations.

On October 3, 2008, the Troubled Asset Relief Program ("TARP") was signed into law. TARP gave the United States Treasury Department ("Treasury") authority to deploy up to $750 billion into the financial system with an objective of improving liquidity in capital markets. On October 24, 2008, Treasury announced plans to direct $250 billion of this authority into preferred stock investments in banks. Principal terms of this preferred stock program include payment of preferred cumulative dividends on the Treasury's stock, restrictions on the payment of common stock dividends, redemption provisions which (during the first three years) permit redemption only with the proceeds of high-quality private capital, restrictions on stock repurchase programs, and restrictions on executive compensation. The Bank is not a participant in the TARP program, but could face increased competition from financial institutions which do participate,
 
In addition to the information set forth above, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. Except as described above, the Company is not aware of any material changes to the risks described in our Annual Report.
