EXPLANATORY NOTE:

This Amendment No. 1 to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Amended Report”) for Sonoma Valley Bancorp (“Company”) for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2009 is being filed to amend portions of the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for its quarterly period ended September 30, 2009, which was originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC“) on November 12, 2009 (“Original Report”).

As previously disclosed in a Form 8-K filing on February 22, 2010, Sonoma Valley Bank, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary (the “Bank”), determined, in connection with the findings of a recent bank regulatory examination, that the Bank should amend its call report for the quarter ended September 30, 2009.  In order to reflect these adjustments to the Bank’s call report in the Company’s financial statements for the same period, the Company is filing this Amended Report.

The Company hereby amends Part I, Item 1, “Financial Statements”, and Item 2, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” to reflect a restatement of the financial statements relating to the following adjustments:

·The provision for loan and lease losses for the third quarter of 2009 increased from $2.6 million to $24.5 million. As a result of the increased provision for loan losses for the third quarter of 2009, the provision for loan and lease losses increased from $7.4 million to $29.3 million for nine months ended September 30, 2009.

·Impaired loans decreased from $48.5 million to $23.5 million as of September 30, 2009 as a result of the impaired amounts of collateral-dependant loans being charged off.  Non accrual loans increased from $6.6 million to approximately $26.6 million.

·The Company’s net loss after tax available to common shareholders for the three months ended September 30, 2009 increased from $495,180 to approximately $19.0 million. Loss per basic share (LPBS) available to common shareholders for the third quarter of 2009, originally reported to be a loss of $0.22, will increase to a loss of approximately $8.27. Due to the adjustments in the third quarter of 2009 financial results, the Company’s after tax net loss available to common shareholders for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, increased from $1.6 million to $20.1 million, and LPBS available to common shareholders, originally reported as a loss of $0.70, has increased to a loss of approximately $8.75.

·Interest income from loans and leases for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2009 decreased from $4.6 million and $13.5 million to $4.4 million and $13.3 million, respectively, and net interest income for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2009 decreased from $3.8 million and $11.0 million to $3.6 million and $10.8 million, respectively.

·Other assets increased from $9.8 million to $13.4 million as of September 30, 2009 as a result of increases to the tax benefit and the establishment of a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets as a result of the larger loss.

·Loans and lease financing receivables net of deferred loan fees, declined to $270.9 million as of September 30, 2009 from the previously reported level of $286.0 million and the allowance for loan and lease losses increased to approximately $12.8 million from the previously reported $6.0 million.  Total assets declined to $335.6 million as of September 30, 2009 from the previously reported level of $354.2 million.

·Total shareholders’ equity at September 30, 2009 has declined approximately $18.5 million to $19.2 million from $37.7 million.

In Part 1, Item 1, see footnote 9, “Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements” for the specific line items restated and a more detailed description of the changes made in this restatement.

In connection with the restatement of the financial statements described above, the Company reevaluated the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures and accordingly, has included additional disclosure in this Amended Report under Part I, Item 4, “Controls and Procedures.”

This Amended Report sets forth the Original Filing in its entirety, although the Company is only restating those portions in Part I, items 1 and 2 affected by corrected financial information and the revised disclosures under Part I, Item 4, below. This Amended Report includes currently-dated certifications from the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as required by Sections 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SeptemberJune 30, 2009 (As Restated)2010
(Unaudited)

Note 1 - Basis of Presentation

In the opinion of Management, the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments of a normal recurring nature, which are necessary to present fairly the financial condition of Sonoma Valley Bancorp and Subsidiary (the "Company") at SeptemberJune 30, 20092010 and results of operations and cash flows for the ninesix months then ended. Subsequent events were evaluated for these September 30, 2009 financial statements through March 30, 2010, the date that the financial statements were issued.

Certain information and footnote disclosures presented in our annual financial statements are not included in these interim financial statements.  Accordingly, the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our 20082009 Annual Report on Form 10-K.  The results of operations and cash flows for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20092010 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results throughto be expected for the year ending December 31, 2009.2010.

The interim condensed financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis of accounting, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.  The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon, among other things, the FDIC’s acceptance of the Bank’s revised capital restoration plan filed on April 26, 2010 and the Company’s ability to implement such capital restoration plan.  The Company continues to act upon strategic alternatives to raise capital and restructure its balance sheet to satisfy FDIC requirements.  However, there are no assurances that we will be able to complete any such measures within the time required by the FDIC, and accordingly, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s abi lity to continue as a going concern.  The condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of recorded asset amounts or the amount of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Note 2 - Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Sonoma Valley Bancorp and its wholly owned subsidiary, Sonoma Valley Bank.  All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Note 3:  Commitments

We had no outstanding performance letters of credit at SeptemberJune 30, 20092010 and SeptemberJune 30, 2008.2009.

Note 4 – Investment Securities (continued)

The following table shows gross unrealized losses and fair value aggregated by investment category and length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position at June 30, 2010.

  2010 
  Less Than 12 Months  12 Months or Greater 
  Fair  Unrealized  Fair  Unrealized 
Description of Securities Value  Losses  Value  Losses 
             
Municipal securities $0  $0  $390,434  $1,139 
Equity securities          10,526   33,715 
Total temporarily impaired securities $0  $0  $400,960  $34,854 

There were two municipal securities and fifteen equity securities in an unrealized loss position at June 30, 2010.  The unrealized losses on these securities were caused by interest rate increases or, in the case of the equity securities, market disfavor with financial institutions stock.  The Company purchased small amounts of various bank equity securities in order to track and analyze peer group banks and the potential loss is relatively small. In the case of the municipal securities, the contractual terms of these investments do not permit the issuer to settle the securities at a price less than the par value of the investment.  Because the Company has the ability and intent to hold these investments until a recovery of fair value, which may be maturity, the Company does not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at June 30, 2010.
 
Note 4:5 - Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share

Net income per share available for common shareholders is calculated by using the weighted average common shares outstanding.  The weighted average number of common shares used in computing the net income per common share for the period ending SeptemberJune 30, 20092010 was 2,302,2692,316,403 and for the period ending SeptemberJune 30, 20082009 was 2,260,255.2,295,633.

Net income per share (diluted) is typically calculated by using the weighted average common shares (diluted) outstanding.  The weighted average number of common shares (diluted) used in computing the net income per common share (diluted) for the period ending September 30, 2008 was 2,294,794.  The dilutive effect of stock options and restricted stock are not considered for the period ending SeptemberJune 30, 2010 and June 30, 2009, because of the reported net loss available to common shareholders.

Note 5:6 - Stock Option Accounting

We have a stock-based employee and director compensation plan in which compensation cost is recognized over the employee requisite service period, based on the fair value of the award at grant date. Options were granted in 2004, 2007 and 2008 under the fair value method.  Awards under our plan generally vest over five years.  Restricted stock was granted in July 2006 that vests over three and five years beginning July 2007.  The cost related to stock-based employee and director compensation is included in the determination of net income for the periods ended SeptemberJune 30, 20 092010 and 2008.2009.

FASB ASC 825-10-50 requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the balance sheet.  In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques.  Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows.  In that regard, the derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases could not be realized in immediate settlement of the instruments.  FASB ASC 825-10-50 excludes certain financial instruments and all nonfinancial instruments from its disclosure requirements.  Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented do not represent the underlying value of the Company as a whole.

The estimated fair values of the Company and Subsidiary's financial instruments are as follows at June 30:

  2010 
  Carrying Amount  Estimated Fair Value 
Financial assets:      
Cash and due from banks $4,268,625  $4,268,625 
Interest-bearing due from banks  44,049,071   44,049,071 
Investment securities available-for-sale  15,894,976   15,894,976 
Investment securities held- to-maturity  5,130,958   5,198,108 
Loans and lease financing receivable, net  240,660,682   239,620,000 
Accrued interest receivable  1,256,484   1,256,484 
Cash surrender value of life insurance  11,352,678   11,352,678 
         
Financial liabilities:        
Deposits  255,470,316   256,401,000 
Accrued interest payable  55,059   55,059 
Federal Home Loan Bank Borrowings  60,000,000   60,896,000 


11


The carrying amounts in the preceding table are included in the balance sheet under the applicable captions.

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating its fair value disclosures for financial instruments:

Cash, due from banks and federal funds sold:  The carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Investment securities:  Fair values for investment securities are based on quoted market prices, where available.  If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable instruments.  The carrying amount of accrued interest receivable approximates its fair value.

Loans and lease financing receivables, net:  For variable-rate loans and leases that reprice frequently and fixed rate loans and leases that mature in the near future, with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying amounts.  The fair values for other fixed rate loans and leases are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis, based on interest rates currently being offered for loans or leases with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality.  Loan and lease fair value estimates include judgments regarding future expected loss experience and risk characteristics and are adjusted for the allowance for loan and lease losses.  The carrying amount of accrued interest receivable approximates its fair value.

Cash surrender value of life insurance:  The carrying amount approximates its fair value.

Deposits:  The fair values disclosed for demand deposits (for example, interest-bearing checking accounts and passbook accounts) are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (that is, their carrying amounts).  The fair values for certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on certificates to a schedule of aggregated contractual maturities on such time deposits.  The carrying amount of accrued interest payable approximates fair value.

Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings:  The carrying amount of overnight borrowings approximates fair value.  The fair value of the long-term borrowings is estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies current interest rates on similar borrowings with similar terms.

US GAAP defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurement. In general, fair values determined by:

Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access.

Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.  Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs utilize inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any market activity for the asset or liability.

The following methods were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument above:

Securities available-for-sale – Securities classified as available-for-sale are reported at fair value utilizing Level 1 inputs for equity securities and Level 2 inputs for all other investment securities.  For equity securities, the Company obtains the fair value measurements from NASDAQ and for investment securities, the Company obtains fair value measurements from an independent pricing service.  The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U.S. Treasury yield curve, live trading levels, trade execution data, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information and the bond’s terms and conditions among other things.

The Company may be required, from time to time, to measure certain assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.  These include assets that are measured at the lower of cost or market that were recognized at fair value below cost at the end of the period.  Assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis are included in the table below.

Impaired loans and other real estate ownedThe fair value of impaired loans and other real estate owned is estimated using one of several methods, including collateral value, market value of similar debt, enterprise value, liquidation value and discounted cash flows.  Those impaired loans not requiring an allowance represent loans for which the fair value of the expected repayments or collateral exceed the recorded investments in such loans or loans for which the impairment has already been charged off.  At SeptemberJune 30, 20092010, all of the total impaired loans were evaluated based on the fair value of the collateral or discounted cash flows.  Impaired loans where an allowanc eallowance is established based on the fair value of collateral require classification in the fair value hierarchy.  When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price or a current appraised value, the Company records the impaired loan as nonrecurring Level 2.  When the fair value of the impaired loans is based on discounted cash flows, the Company records the impaired loan as nonrecurring Level 3.

Note 89 - Stockholder’s Equity

On February 20, 2009, we completed the issuance of $8,653,000 of Series A preferred stock and related warrant for Series B preferred stock under the U.S. Department of Treasury’s Capital Purchase Program.  We issued 8,653 shares of Series A preferred stock and a warrant to acquire 433 shares of Series B preferred stock for the aggregate purchase price (collectively the “Preferred Stock”). The warrant was exercised immediately and the 433 shares issued.

Note 9 – Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statement

Commencing after the date of the original filing of the Company’s Form 10-Q for thefirst and second quarter ended September 30, 2009, the Company reclassified certain loans that had been restructured, resulting in additional loan charge-offs and provision for loan losses related2010.  Due to the reclassified loans. The Company also reclassified certain restructured loans as non-accrual loans and reversed interest income previously recognized on these loans. The Bank amended its regulatory call report for the quarter ended September 30, 2009 to reflect these adjustments. The Company also recorded the additional loss reserves, charge offs, and reversal of interest income in the quarter ended September 30, 2009, and reflected the additional non-accrual and impaired loans in its f inancial statements as of September 30, 2009.

The $21,900,000 increase in the provision for loan losses was primarily due to the addition of $15,438,812 in specific reserves on certain loans classified as impaired loans due to a reevaluation of the underlying collateral and identification of continued deterioration in the ability of the borrowers to make loan payments. The provision for loan losses also increased by $6,461,188 in the general valuation allowances on the loan portfolio to adjust these allowances for updated historical loss experience in the Company’s loan portfolio.
The $15,084,000 increase in net loan charge-offs was primarily due to the charge-off of $9,079,803 to reduce the restructured impaired loans that were not collateral dependent to their net present value.  In addition, eleven collateral dependent loans had additional charge offs to reflect fair market value.
The $20.0 million increase in non-accrual loans was primarily due to the reclassification of certain impaired loans as non-accrual. In general, these loans had been previously performing under restructured terms, but were reclassified as non-accrual based on a reevaluation of the underlying collateral, as well as the borrower’s financial condition and prospects for repayment.
The $3,555,654 increase in other assets was due to the income tax benefit due to the increased loss from operations.

Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements

Commencing after the date of the original filing of the Company’s Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2009, the Company reclassified certain loans that had been restructured, resulting in additional loan charge-offs and provision for loan losses related to the reclassified loans. The Company also reclassified certain restructured loans as non-accrual loans and reversed interest income previously recognized on these loans. The Bank amended its regulatory call report for the quarter ended September 30, 2009 to reflect these adjustments. The Company also recorded the additional loss reserves, charge-offs, and reversal of interest income in the quarter ended September 30, 2009, and reflected the additional non-accrual and impaired loans in its financial statements as of September 30, 2009. On February 17, 2010, the Company concluded that the Company’s previously issued third quarter 2009 consolidated financial statements needed to be restated and that the Company’s Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2009, would need to be amended.  Note 9 to the Financial Statements on pages 11-14 describes the material items that were restated from the original Form 10-Q and the reasons for such restatements.

For the NineSix Month Periods
Ended SeptemberJune 30, 20092010 and 20082009

Overview

In 2008, the Federal Reserve lowered its Federal funds rate (the rate at which banks may borrow from each other) by two hundred basis points resulting in lower deposit rates being offered by the Bank, which has a positive, effect on the interest margin. However, with the decline in the Prime Rate, the variable rate loans adjusted downward with the decline in the Prime Rate subject to any contract floor rates. The net effect of these changes was a decline in the net interest margin for the nine months ending September 30, 2009 as compared to the same period in the prior year. Also contributing to this decline is the increase in nonperforming assets, which decreased the yield of the loan portfolio for this period.

The CompanyWe recorded a net loss of $19,812,330$721,361 for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2009.2010. This represents an increase  of $198,586 from a declineloss of $22.7 million from earnings of $2,889,989$919,947 during the period ended SeptemberJune 30, 2008.2009. The declineincrease in earnings relates to a $28.5one time offset to salaries and benefits of $3.1 million increasedue to the voluntary termination by four of the executives of their interest in the Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan and a one time reversal of expense of $415,342, net of current year expense for the voluntary termination of the Director Retirement Plan by nine of the directors offset by $1.8 million in write downs on Other Real Estate Owned (OREO and an accrual of $4.2 million in provision for loan losses. The significant increase in the provision for loan losses in 2009for the six month period ended June 30, 2010 reflects deterioration in regional economic conditions,conditio ns, decline in regional real estate values and updated assessments of the financial condition of borrowers and regulatory review of our portfolio.  Non interestborrowers.  Non-interest income showed a declinean increase of 7.1%17.3% or $115,000$169,965 and non interestnon-interest expense showed an increase of 8.5%40.6% or $612,000.  The reason for$2.1 million.  A discussion of the increase in loan losses is fu rtherfurther described on Page 18 under “Provision for Loan Losses”.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net Interest Income

Net interest income is the difference between total interest income and total interest expense.  Net interest income, adjusted to a fully taxable equivalent basis, as shown on the table- Average Balances/Yields and Rates Paid, on page 17, 15 is higher than net interest income on the statement of income because it reflects adjustments applicable to tax-exempt income from certain securities and loans ($249,849148,030 in 20092010 and $251,756$167,367 in 2008,2009, based on a 34% federal income tax rate).

The slight increasedecrease in net interest income for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20092010 (stated on a fully tax equivalent basis) is a result of the net effect of an $1,076,286a $1.4 million decrease in interest income offset by a larger decrease in interest expense of $1,162,589,$373,179, showing a net increasedecrease of $86,303.$1.05 million.  As of SeptemberJune 30, 20082009 the federal funds rate and Wall Street Journal prime rate were 2% and 5%, respectively. Since December, 2008 rates have declined 175 basis points. At September 30, 2009 the federal funds rate was 0.00% -remained at 0.25% and the prime rate was 3.25%.

Net interest income (stated on a fully taxable equivalent basis) expressed as a percentage of average earning assets, is referred to as net interest margin.  For the first nine months of 2009,In 2010, our net interest margin declined 68101 basis points to 4.61%3.77%, from 5.29%4.78% for the same period in 2008.2009.  The decline in the net interest margin is a result of asset yields repricing downward morefaster than the yields on earning liabilities. Additionally, with the increase in non- accrualnon-accrual loans, weearnings on loans have experienced the loss of earnings from those loans.significantly declined.
 
Interest Income

As previously stated, interest income (stated on a fully taxable equivalent basis) declined by $1.1$1.4 million to $14.1$8.0 million in the first ninesix months of 2009,2010, a 7.09%15.1% decrease from the $15.2$9.4 million realized during the same period in 2008.

2009.  The $1.1$1.4 million decrease was the result of the 144134 basis point decrease in the yield on earning assets to 5.88%4.78% for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20092010 from 7.32%6.12% for the same period in 2008.2009.  Average balances of interest-bearing assets increased $43.4$27.6 million or 15.65%8.9% from $277.2$310.0 million as of SeptemberJune 30, 20082009 to $320.6$337.6 million as of SeptemberJune 30, 2009.2010.

The gain in volume of average earning assets was responsible for a $1,272,580 increase$221,963 decrease in interest income, and the decrease in interest rates contributed $2,348,866,$1.198 million, for a net decrease in interest income of $1,076,286.$1.420 million.

Interest Expense

Total interest expense for the first ninesix months of 20092010 decreased by $1,162,589$373,179 to $3.044$1.691 million from $4.207$2.064 million for the same period in 2008.2009.  The average rate paid on all interest-bearing liabilities decreased from 2.67%1.76% in the first ninesix months of 20082009 to 1.65%1.21% in the same period in 2009,2010, a decrease of 10255 basis points.  Average balances of interest-bearing liabilities increased from $210.8$236.2 million to $246.2$281.6 million, a $35.4$45.4 million or 16.8%19.2% increase in interest-bearing liabilities.

The gain in volume of average balances was responsible for a $508,369$368,980 increase in interest expense and the lower interest rates paid were responsible for a $1,670,957$742,159 decrease in interest expense for a net decrease of $1,162,589.$373,179.

Provision for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses charged to operations as of SeptemberJune 30, 20092010 was $29.3$4.2 million compared to $830,000$4.9 million in 2008.2009.  The provision for loan losses is based on our evaluation of the loan portfolio and the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses in relation to total loans outstanding.  We experienced modest loan growth in 2009.  Like many community banks, the Bank does have a significant concentration in commercial real estate loans.  In 2009,At the present time, due to severe economic recession, overly inflatedsignificant decrease in real estate values, and the lack of available financing options, local commercial real estate values have declined considerably.  This severely impactedimpacts the Bank’s commercial real estate portfolio causing addi tionaladditional provisions for loan losses.  The Bank has been proactive in obtaining current appraisals on loansl oans secured by commercial real estate.  Per regulatory and accounting guidelines, the Bank is required to write-down collateral-dependant loans to the fair market value of the collateral and set a reserve for potential selling costs.  As these loans are charged off against the loan loss reserve, the reserve wasis reduced to a level that diddoes not take into consideration the inherent risk in the remaining portfolio, and thus neededneeds to be replenished.  Additionally, due to the increased risk associated with a faltering economy and an increase in the Bank’s loss history, the Bank increased reserves on all non-classified loans.  Although the economy has shown some signs of stabilization, conditions in the commercial real estate market are anticipated to worsen further which will likelymay result in additional provisions for loan loss.loss throughout 2010.

The non-performing assets to total loans ratio (non-performing assets divided by loans plus OREO) was 12.7%16.27% as of SeptemberJune 30, 20092010 compared to 3.4% in 2008.4.09% as of June 30, 2009.  Non accrual loans were $26.6$39.4 million as of SeptemberJune 30, 20092010 compared to $1.9$11.1 million as of SeptemberJune 30, 2008,2009, an increase of 1300.0%253.4%.  Loans charged-off were $21.6are $5.4 million and recoveries were $63,000 as of September 30, 2009are $407,000 for 2010 year to date compared with $416,000$1.3 million in charge-offs and $21,000$59,000 in recoveries for the same period in 2008.2009.  The increase in charge-offs in 20092010 is a result of multiple causes including a significant and growingcontinuing recession during 2009 which caused more business failures and borrowers to become delinquent and unable to payback their loans, a material drop in real estate values a ndand the application of regulatory and accounting guidance which requiredrequire certain assets to be written down to fair market value of the collater al, in some cases as much as 60%. of the previous appraised value.  Refer to page 2426 for an analysis in the discussion onchanges in allowance for loan losses including charge-offs and lease losses.
Non-interest Income

Non-interest income for the first nine months of $1.5 million decreased 7.1% or $115,339 over the $1.6 million recorded in the comparable period in 2008.  Other fee income has shown the largest decrease of $47,440 from $276,769 as of September 30, 2008 to $229,329 as of September 30, 2009, a decline of 17.1%.recoveries.

Non-interest Income

Non-interest income for the first six months of $1.2 million increased 17.3% or $169,965 over the $981,611 recorded in the comparable period in 2009.  The increase is largely a result of the $238,610 non-recurring gain on sale of securities.

Year-to-date income from service charges on deposit accounts has declined 13.6%, or $87,338, from $644,524 in 2009 to $557,186 in 2010.  There was a decrease of $85,053 in income from overdrafts and checks drawn against insufficient funds and a decline of $11,545 in income on business accounts.

Other fee income showed a decrease of $5,962 or 4.3% to $133,119 for the first six months in 2010 from $139,081 for the same period in 2009. This is due to a drop of $16,486 in credit card merchant processing fees offset by a $7,177 increase in miscellaneous income and $4,542 increase in loan referral income.

All other non-interest income showed an 11.2%a 3.5%, or $37,954, decrease$6,832, increase from $338,209$198,006 in for the first nine months of 20082009 to $300,255$204,838 in the same period of 2009.2010.  This is a result of a decreasean increase in the income generated by bank owned life insurance policies.  Income on the policies was $319,000$185,081 as of SeptemberJune 30, 20082009 compared to $281,000$191,660 as of SeptemberJune 30, 2009, a decrease2010, an increase of $38,000.  The earnings on the policies have declined due to the consistently low market interest rates at this time.$6,579.  

Income from service charges on deposit accounts has declined 3.0%, or $29,945, from $1,002,293 in for the first nine months of 2008 to $972,348 in the same period of 2009.  We experienced a $54,439 decrease related to fee income charged for overdrafts and checks drawn against insufficient funds.

Total non-interest expense grew $612,000,declined $1.4 million, or 8.5%26.6%, to $7.8$3.8 million for the first ninesix months of 20092010 from $7.2$5.2 million in the comparable period in 2008.2009.  Non-interest expense on an annualized basis represented 3.06%2.15% of average total assets in 20092010 compared with 3.24%3.19% in the comparable period in 2008.2009.

The items which caused the $1.4 million decline in non-interest expense was the termination of the Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (SERP), and the termination of the Director Retirement Plan, a reversal to income of $3.1 million and $415,342, respectively. These are non recurring credits to expense. Although these accounts are normally included with Salaries and Benefits and with Professional Fees they have been excluded from that discussion to better discuss year over year comparisons.

Salaries and benefits decreased $413,000,$221,427, or 9.8%8.6%, from $4.2$2.588 million for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20082009 to $3.8$2.367 million for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2009.2010.  Management tries to utilize efficiencies to stabilize the growth in full-time equivalent employees. At SeptemberJune 30, 2009,2010 total full time equivalent employees were 5448 compared to 5553 as of SeptemberJune 30, 2008.2009.  As of SeptemberJune 30, 2009,2010, assets per employee were $6.6$7.0 million compared with $5.8$6.5 million as of SeptemberJune 30, 2008.2009.  

Expenses related to premises and equipment increased 5.7%1.2% to $738,000$500,032 in 20092010 from $699,000$494,343 for the same period in 2008.  The $39,000 increase in2009.  Software expense in 2009 is the result of increases in software expense of $24,068increased $15,054 or 51.8%31.5% from $46,000$47,815 to $70,500$62,869 as of SeptemberJune 30, 20082009 and 2009,2010, respectively. This expense is related to enhancements in our on-line consumer banking product and software to allow greater efficiency in performing our work. Miscellaneous equipment expense showed an increase of $7,000 from $7,000 as of September 30, 2008 to $14,000 as of September 30, 2009 Lease expense increased for the first ninesix months of 20092010 to $300,000$209,719 from $294,000$203,310 for the same period of 2008,2009, an increase of 2.0%3.2% or $6,000.$6,409.

Other operating expenseexpenses increased 43.8%109.37% to $3.2$4.5 million in 2010 from $2.1 million in 2009, from $2.3 million in 2008, an increase of $986,000. The increase is a result of a $494,000 increase in insurance$1.9 million.  Loan and collection expense increased $1.9 million from $193,000$140,784 as of SeptemberJune 30, 20082009 to $687,000 for the period ending September 30, 2009. Of the $494,000 increase $491,000 was related to the accrual for the FDIC assessment due to increases in premiums and a special assessment from $114,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 to $605,000 for the same period ending September 30, 2009. Other categories of insurance showed increases of $4,000 over prior year. There was a $351,256 increase in professional fees from $823,000 as of September 30, 2008 to $1.2$2.0 million as of SeptemberJune 30, 2009.  This is a resul t of2010.  We have seen increases in legal fees-corporate matters and legal fees-loan collection expense of $94,000 and $83,000, respectively. Other areas of professional fees showing increases are other professional fees which included expenses relative to personnel salary and benefit consultant, outside marketing assistance and information technology consultant expense, increase in Director fees and retirement expenses, increase in accounting and tax expense and an increase in other exam fees. Loan expense increased $177,000 from $29,000 as of September 30, 2008 to $206,000 as September 30, 2009.  We established a provision for unfunded loan commitments, which created an expense for the first nine months of 2009 of $60,000, where in the past this amount was included in the provision for loan losses. Other loan expenses that have increased are expenses on foreclosed property, which reflects costs associated with that property, as well as a write down to reflect$1.7 million write-down on the market value of the property,OREO. Additionally, we have experienced higher appraisal expe nseexpense due to the need to re-evaluate non-accrual loans secured by real estateestate.  Loan collection expense has also increased as we have increased our efforts to collect loans.  Also showing increases over 2009 are FDIC and increasesother insurance and professional fees.   Professional fees have increased $342,536 (46.3%) to $1.1 million as of June 30, 2010 from $740,495 a year ago.  This increase is predominately a result of legal fees and other professional assistance in our loan collection expense.efforts.  The accrual for FDIC insurance has increased $179,808 from $425,000 as of June 30, 2009 to $604,808 at the period ending June 30, 2010 an increase of 42.3%.

Provision (Benefit) for Income Taxes

As of SeptemberJune 30, 20092010, we recorded no income tax benefit related to the pre-tax loss generated in the six months ended June 30, 2010.  This compares to an income tax benefit of $5.0$1.0 million, or 20% of pre-tax loss in 2009.  This compares to income tax expenses of $1.4 million, or 33.2% of pre-tax income as of SeptemberJune 30, 2008.  The percentage for the first nine months of 2009 is less than the statutory rate2009.  No tax benefit was recorded in 2010 due to the creation ofCompany maintaining a partial valuation allowance against the deferred tax asset, after managementassets and not recording additional deferred tax assets.  Management determined that it is “more likely than not” that we will be able to fully recognize all of our net deferred tax assets after the valuation allowance. The valuation allowance is based on the cumulative pre-tax losses exceeding four years.  This increased expense is partially offset by federal tax credits on California Affordable Housing Investments and tax exempt income such as earning s on Bank owned life insurance and municipal loan and investment income, which are in addition to the tax benefit generated as a result of the net loss.

BALANCE SHEET ANALYSIS

Investments

Investment securities were $24.0$21.0 million at SeptemberJune 30, 2009,2010, a 17.2% increase37.0% decrease from $20.4$33.3 million at December 31, 20082009 and a 55.4%4.7% increase from $15.4$20.0 million at SeptemberJune 30, 2008.2009.  The increasedecrease in the portfolio from December 31, 2009 is a result of US Treasurycalls, maturities and agency purchases to pledge at the Federal Reserve Bank for discount window borrowings, a contingent liquidity source for the Company.sales of securities.  We will usually maintain an investment portfolio of securities rated “A” or higher by Standard and Poor's or Moody's Investors Service.  Local tax-exempt bonds are occasionally purchased without an “A” rating. In this uncertain time, with the downgrades of the credit rating agencies, some purchased bonds now have an underlying rat ingrating of less than an “A” rating, although all except two have an Investment Grade bond rating.

Securities are classified as held to maturity (HTM) if we have both the intent and the ability to hold these securities to maturity.  As of SeptemberJune 30, 2009,2010, we had securities totaling $13.4$5.1 million with a market value of $13.8$5.2 million categorized as HTM.  Decisions to acquire municipal securities, which are generally placed in this category, are based on tax planning needs and pledge requirements.

Securities are classified as available for sale (AFS) if we intend to hold these debt securities for an indefinite period of time, but not necessarily to maturity.  Investment securities which are categorized as AFS are acquired as part of the overall asset and liability management function and serve as a primary source of liquidity.  Decisions to acquire or dispose of different investments are based on an assessment of various economic and financial factors, including, but not limited to, interest rate risk, liquidity and capital adequacy.  Securities held in the AFS category are recorded at market value, which was $10.6$15.89 million compared to an amortized cost of $10.5$15.88 million as of SeptemberJune 30, 2009.2010.

20


There were fifteen equity securities totaling $14,752 in the AFS portfoliowith a fair value of  $13,725 and two municipal securities totaling $394,404with a book value of  $391,572 in the HTM portfolio that are temporarily impaired as of SeptemberJune 30, 2009.2010. Unrealized losses totaled $32,688$33,715 on equity securities and $3,229$1,139 on municipal securities. Of the above, fourteen equity securities or $11,617$10,526 in the AFS portfolio and bothtwo municipal securities or $391,572 in the HTM portfolio have been in a continuous loss position for 12 months or more as of SeptemberJune 30, 2009.2010.    The primary cause of the impairment in the securities is interest rate volatility due to market volatility and downgrades of municipal insurers causing municipal securities to rely on the underlying rating of the municipality which is typically lower than AAA rated. 0;  One municipal se curity totaling $51,027 has been downgraded to C by Standard and Poors as the municipal entity is only recently out of bankruptcy. We have continued to receive interest payments as scheduled and anticipate full recovery of both principal and interest. It is our intention to carry the securities to maturity date, at which time we will have received face value for the securities at no loss. The equity securities are minimal shares of local and peer group banks which we hold so that we may better review their financial and compensation information. All small financial institution stocks have severely declined in value and are very thinly traded.

Although the quoted market values fluctuate, investment securities are generally held to maturity, and accordingly, gains and losses to the income statement are recognized upon sale, or at such time as management determines that a permanent decline in value exists.  In our opinion, there was no investment in securities at SeptemberJune 30, 20092010 that constituted a material credit risk to the Company.  The lower market value to amortized costs was a result of the increase in market interest rates and not an indication of lower credit quality.quality except as stated above. At the present time there is some uncertainty in the market relative to the companies insuring the municipal securities that we hold. We are monitoring this situation very closely and believe that the mun icipalitiesmunicipalities will be able to fulfill their obligations and thereth ere will be no need to rely on the insurance companies for payment. If the insurance companies are down-gradeddowngraded it could lower the rating on the securities and therefore affect the fair value.

As indicated above, the majority of the Company’s loan portfolio is secured by real estate. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2010 and June 30, 2009, approximately 91.0% and September 30, 2008, approximately 91.2% and 89.8%91.1%, respectively, of the Bank’s loans were secured by real estate. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2009,2010, commercial real estate properties were identified as a concentration of credit as it represented 39.9%42.9% of the loan portfolio.  Another significant concentration is loans secured by one to four family residential properties, which represented 23.0%23.1% of the loan portfolio.

The substantial decline in the economy in general and the decline in residential and commercial real estate values in the Company’s primary market area in particular have had an adverse impact on the collectability of certain of these loans and have required increases in the provision for loan losses.  The Bank monitors the effects of current and expected market conditions as well as other factors on the collectability of real estate loans.  Management believes that the adverse impact on the collectability of certain of these loans will continue in 2010, as the combined effects of declining commercial real estate values and deteriorating economic conditions will place continued stress on the Bank’s small business and commerci alcommercial real estate investor borrowers.

22

As of SeptemberJune 30, 2009,2010, there was $108.2$108.5 million in commercial real estate loans representing 39.9%42.9% of the loan portfolio.  Commercial real estate loans have been identified as a higher risk concentration based on the impact of the economic conditions and supported by the rise in delinquencies and requests for payment deferments.  Many of these loans have been assigned to a special asset manager for enhanced monitoring.  Updated financial data is being obtained from borrowers. The allowance for loan losses may be increased in the coming quarters if there is further deterioration in the credit quality of the commercial real estate loan portfolio, or if collateral values continue to drop.

Construction loans are primarily interim loans to finance the construction of commercial and single family residential property.  These loans are typically short-term.  Maturities on real estate loans other than construction loans are generally restricted to five years (on an amortization of thirty years with a balloon payment due in five years).  Any loans extended for greater than five years generally have re-pricing provisions that adjust the interest rate to market rates at times prior to maturity.

Commercial loans and lines of credit are made for the purpose of providing working capital, covering fluctuations in cash flows, financing the purchase of equipment, or for other business purposes.  Such loans and lines of credit include loans with maturities ranging from one to five years.

Consumer loans and lines of credit are made for the purpose of financing various types of consumer goods and other personal purposes.  Consumer loans and lines of credit generally provide for the monthly payment of principal and interest or interest only payments with periodic principal payments.
21


In extending credit and commitments to borrowers, the Bank generally requires collateral and/or guarantees as security.  The repayment of such loans is expected to come from cash flow or from proceeds from the sale of selected assets of the borrowers.  The Bank’s requirement for collateral and/or guarantees is determined on a case-by-case basis in connection with management’s 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.  The Bank protects its collateral interests by perfecting its security interest in business assets, obtaining deeds of trust, or outright possession among other means.

Risk Elements

The majority of our loan activity is with customers located within Sonoma County.  Approximately 91.2%91.0% of the total loan portfolio is secured by real estate located in our service area.  Significant concentrations of credit risk may exist if a number of loan customers are engaged in similar activities and have similar economic characteristics.

As of SeptemberJune 30, 2009,2010, the Company had nine borrowing relationships that exceeded 25% of risk-based capital. Additionally, the Company identified three
geographic concentrations in developments located in Santa Rosa, Petaluma and Windsor.

Based on its risk management review and a review of its loan portfolio, management believes that its allowance for loan losses as of SeptemberJune 30, 2009,2010, is sufficient to absorb losses inherent in the loan portfolio.  This assessment is based upon the best available information and does involve uncertainty and matters of judgment.  Accordingly, the adequacy of the loan loss reserve cannot be determined with precision, but is subject to periodic review, and could be susceptible to significant change in future periods.

23

Loan Commitments and Letters of Credit

Loan commitments are written agreements to lend to customers at agreed upon terms, provided there are no violations of any condition established in the contract.  Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses.  Loan commitments may have variable interest rates and terms that reflect current market conditions at the date of commitment.  Because many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the amount of total commitments does not necessarily represent our anticipated future funding requirements.  Unfunded loan commitments were $40.2$36.2 million  at SeptemberJune 30, 20092010 and $46.6$40.3 million at SeptemberJune 30, 2008.2009.

Standby letters of credit commit us to make payments on behalf of customers when certain specified events occur.  Standby letters of credit are primarily issued to support customers' financing requirements of twelve months or less and must meet our normal policies and collateral requirements.  Standby letters of credit outstanding were $123,000 at September 30, 2009 and $118,000 at September 30, 2008.

22

Non-Performing Assets

The Bank manages credit losses by enforcing administration procedures and aggressively pursuing collection efforts with troubled debtors.  The Bank closely monitors the market in which it conducts its lending operations and continues its strategy to control exposure to loans with high credit risk and to increase diversification of earning assets.  Internal and external loan reviews are performed periodically using grading standards and criteria similar to those employed by bank regulatory agencies.  Management has evaluated loans that it considers to carry additional risk above the normal risk of collectability, and by taking actions where possible to reduce credit risk exposure by methods that include, but are not limited to, seeking liquidation of the loan by the borrower, seeking additional tangibletangibl e collateral or other repayment support, converting the property through judicial or non-judicial foreclosure proceedings, selling loans and other collection techniques.

The Bank has a process to review all nonperforming loans on a quarterly basis.  The Bank considers a loan to be impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that it will be unable to collect all amounts due (principal and interest) according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement.  Impaired loans as of SeptemberJune 30, 20092010 were $33.3$34.1 million as compared to $10.8$31.7 million as of September 30, 2008.December 31, 2009.  The evaluation of impaired loans will continue in the coming quarters as the Bank receives updated appraisals, financial information, and economic trends relevant to individual non-accrual loans.

We had loans of $26.6$39.4 million in non-accrual status at SeptemberJune 30, 20092010 and $1.9$22.2 million at September 30, 2008.December 31, 2009.  There were $5.7$27.8 million in loans 90 days or more past due at SeptemberJune 30, 20092010 and $1.5$10.9 million at September 30, 2008.December 31, 2009.  We have more loans in non-accrual status than are 90 days past due because management determined the continued collection of principal or interest is unlikely, given the information available today. This is further discussed in the guidelines in the paragraph below.

Management classifies all loans as non-accrual loans when they become more than 90 days past due as to principal or interest, or when the timely collection of interest or principal becomes uncertain, if earlier, unless they are adequately secured and in the process of collection. In addition, some loans secured by real estate with temporarily impaired values and commercial loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulties are placed on non accrual status even though the borrowers continue to repay the loans as scheduled.  Such loans are classified by management as “performing nonaccrual” and are included in total non accrual loans.  Any interest accrued, but unpaid, is reversed against current income.  Interest received on non-accrual loans is applied to principal until the loan has beenb een repaid in full or the loan is brought current and potential for future payments appears reasonably certain, at which time the interest received is credited to income.  Generally, a loan remains in a non-accrual status until both principal and interest have been current for six months and it meets cash flow or collateral criteria, or when the loan is determined to be uncollectible and is charged off against the allowance for loan losses, or in the case of real estate loans, is transferred to other real estate owned upon foreclosure.


24


A loan is classified as a restructured loan when the interest rate is reduced, when the term is extended beyond the original maturity date, or other concessions are made by us, because of the inability of the borrower to repay the loan under the original terms. We had $7.3$5.7 million in renegotiatedrestructured loans as of SeptemberJune 30, 20092010 and $6.9$7.3 million as of September 30, 2008.December 31, 2009.

When appropriate or necessary to protect the Bank’s interest, real estate taken as collateral on a loan may be taken by the Company through foreclosure or a deed in lieu of foreclosure.  Real property acquired in this manner is known as other real estate owned (OREO).  OREO is carried on the books as an asset at the lower of the loan balance or the fair value less estimated costs to sell.  OREO represents an additional category of “nonperforming assets.”  The Company had two OREO’sfour OREO properties as of SeptemberJune 30, 20092010 for $479,000$2.3 million and onethree OREO properties for $320,000$3.9 million as of September 30, 2008December 31, 2009.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The Bank maintains an allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level considered adequate to provide for potential losses in the loan portfolio.  Additions to thethat can be reasonably anticipated.  The allowance are madeis increased by chargesprovisions charged to operating expense in the formand reduced by charge-offs, net of a provision for loan losses.  All loans that are judged to be uncollectible are charged against the allowance while any recoveries are credited to the allowance.  Management has instituted loan policies which include using grading standards and criteria similar to those employed by bank regulatory agencies to adequately evaluate and assess the analysis of risk factors associated with its loan portfolio. These policies and standards enable management to assess such risk factors associated with its loan portfolio prior to granting new loans and t o assess the sufficiency of the allowance.recoveries.  The allowance is based on estimates, and actual loanultimate losses could differ materially from management’s estimate if actual loss factors and conditions differ significantlymay vary from the assumptions utilized.current estimates.  These estimates are reviewed monthly and, as adjustments become necessary, they are reported in earnings in the periods in which they become known.

In keeping with the FASB ASC 310 (formerly) Financial Accounting Standards No. 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan (“SFAS No. 114”) and No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies (“SFAS No. 5”), a review process is performed to identify loan customers who may be experiencing financial difficulties.  Management conducts an evaluationreviews problem loans on a quarterly basis and determines which loans are considered to be “Impaired Loans”.  Those considered to be “Impaired” will be individually evaluated and have a specific reserve set aside.  The impairment of collateral dependent loans will be charged-off.  Loans not considered impaired under SF AS No. 114 will be reserved for based on its operational loss factor.  Loans that are not subject to SFAS No. 114 are reserved for under SFAS No. 5.  Loans subject to SFAS No. 5 are grouped together into pools based on similar risk characteristics.  Other factors considered by management in evaluating the adequacy of the allowance include:  loan portfolio quarterly.  This evaluation is an assessment of a number of factors including the results of the internal loan review, external loan review by outside consultants, any regulatory examination,volume, historical net loan loss experience, estimated potential loss exposure on eachthe condition of industries and geographic areas experiencing or expected to experience economic adversities, credit concentrations of credit, value of collateral,evaluations and any known impairment in the borrower’s ability to repay and presentcurrent economic conditions as the Bank is obtaining updated appraisals, current financial statements, current credit report, and verifying current net worth and liquidity positions of selected borrowers.  Loans receiving lesser grades fall under the “classified” category, which includes all nonpe rforming and potential problem loans, and receive an elevated level of attention to ensure collection.

Each month the Bank reviews the allowance and increases the allowance as needed.  As of September 30, 2009 and September 30, 2008, theconditions.  The allowance for loan losses was 4.72% and 1.58%is not a precise amount, but based on risk categories assigned such as “watch”, respectively, of loans net of unearned.  No assurance can be given that the increase in the allowance is adequate to reflect the increase in the loan portfolio balance, non-accrual loans“substandard”, or “doubtful” and the overall economic downturn, whichfactors above, represents management's best estimate of losses that may adversely affect small businesses and borrowers inbe ultimately realized from the Bank’s market area as of September 30, 2009.  The Bank is working diligently with all borrowers to proactively identify and address difficulties as they arise.  As of September 30, 2009 and September 30, 2008,current loan charge-offs totaled $21.6 million and $416,000, respectively, and recoveries on previously charged-off loans totaled $63,000 and $21,000, respectively.

As of September 30, 2009, the allowance for loan losses was $12.8 million, or 4.72% of period-end loans, compared with $4.2 million, or 1.58%, at September 30, 2008.  In accordance with FASB ASC 310 accounting standards, the Bank recognizes estimated losses based on appraised values on collateral dependent loans.  The Bank’s year end net charge-offs of $21.6 million is largely due to the Bank’s recognition of estimated losses caused by deterioration of real estate collateral values in the Bank’s lending area.
An analysis of the changes in the allowance for loan losses, including charge-offs and recoveries by loan categories, is presented below.portfolio.

Net charge-offs to average loans increased when compared with the prior year.  We recorded net losses of $21.6 million or 10.26% of average loans in 2009 compared to net losses of $396,000 in 2008 or .21% of average loans.

Worsening conditions in the general economy and real estate markets will likely continue to adversely affect the loan portfolio, which could necessitate materially larger provisions for loan losses than in prior periods. The drastic changes in the availability of credit during 2009 haveand continuing into 2010 has negatively impacted most asset values which serve as collateral to the majority of the Bank’s loans. However, as of SeptemberJune 30, 2009,2010, we believe the overall allowance for loan losses is adequate based on our analysis of conditions at that time.time.

At June 30, 2010, the allowance for loan losses was $12.2 million, or 4.84% of period-end loans, compared with $13.1 million, or 4.82%, at December 31, 2009 and $8.6 million, or 3.02%, at June 30, 2009. The increase in the allowance is a result of the increase in the non-accrual loans and deterioration in collateral values securing these loans. Real estate values continue to deteriorate and economic conditions remain poor.

Net charge-offs to average loans increased when compared with June 30, 2009.  We recorded net charge-offs of $5.0 million or 3.83% of average loans as of June 30, 2010 compared to June 30, 2009, which showed net charge-offs of $1.3 million or 0.93% of average loans.  The increase in charge-offs is a direct result of the economic downturn, falling asset values and increased risk associated with borrowers of all types.

An analysis of the changes in the allowance for loan losses, including charge-offs and recoveries by loan categories, is presented below.

Both non-interest bearing demand deposits and interest bearing checking showed increases. Non-interest bearing demand increased $2.3 million, or 4.4%, from $51.9 million as of December 2009 to $54.2 million as of June 30, 2010.  Interest-bearing checking increased to $38.1 million, a 15.0%, or $5.0 million increase from $33.1 million as of December 31, 2009.

Capital

The Bank is subject to FDIC regulations governing capital adequacy.  The FDIC has adopted risk-based capital guidelines which establish a risk-adjusted ratio relating capital to different categories of assets and off-balance sheet exposures.  Under the current guidelines, as of SeptemberJune 30, 2009,2010, the Bank was required to have minimum Tier I and total risk-based capital ratios of 4% and 8%, respectively. To be well capitalized under Prompt Corrective Action Provisions requires minimum Tier I and total risk-based capital ratios to be 6% and 10%, respectively.

27

The FDIC has also adopted minimum leverage ratio guidelines for compliance by banking organizations.  The guidelines require a minimum leverage ratio of 4% of Tier 1 capital to total average assets.  Banks experiencing high growth rates are expected to maintain capital positions well above the minimum levels.  The leverage ratio, in conjunction with the risk-based capital ratio, constitutes the basis for determining the capital adequacy of banking organizations.

Based on the FDIC's guidelines, the Bank's total risk-based capital ratio at SeptemberJune 30, 20092010 was 6.40%6.59% and its Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio was 5.11%5.30%.  The Bank's leverage ratio was 4.16%4.20%.

25

The total risk-based capital, Tier 1 risk based capital and leverage ratios for the Company at SeptemberJune 30, 2009,2010, were 6.51%6.27%, 5.22%4.98% and 4.25%3.94%, respectively. The capital ratios for the Company at SeptemberJune 30, 2008,2009, were 11.45%13.35%, 10.20%12.08% and 9.86%10.85%, respectively.

On February 1, 2010, the FDIC notified the Bank by letter that it was “undercapitalized” within the meaning of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (“FDI Act”) prompt corrective action (“PCA”) capital requirements (12 U.S.C. § 1831o), and directed the Bank to submit, as required by laws and regulations, a Capital Restoration Plan (“CRP”) to the FDIC by March 17, 2010.  The Bank is subject to Section 38 of the FDI Act with respect t oto undercapitalized institutions requiring that the FDIC monitor the condition of the Bank; requiring submission of a CRP; restricting the growth of the Bank’s assets; and acquiring prior approval for acquisitions, branching and new lines of business.  In addition, the Bank must cease paying dividends, is prohibited from paying managementman agement fees to a controlling person and is prohibited from accepting or renewing any brokered deposits. The Company submitted a CRP to the FDIC on March 17, 2010.

In November 2008,On April 14, 2010, the Company appliedreceived a Supervisory Prompt Corrective Action Directive (“Directive”) from the FDIC, dated April 13, 2010, due to the Bank’s “undercapitalized” status as of December 31, 2009 under regulatory capital guidelines.  On April 26, 2010, the Bank revised its capital restoration plan for funds throughresubmission to the U.S. Treasury’s Capital Purchase Program.

Off-Balance Sheet Commitments

Our off-balance sheet commitments consist of commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit.  These commitments are extended to customers in the normal course of business.  Unfunded loan commitments were $40.2 million at September 30, 2009 and $46.6 million at September 30, 2008. Standby letters of credit outstanding were $123,000 at September 30, 2009 and $118,000 at September 30, 2008.  We also have contractual obligations consisting of operating leases for various facilities and payments to participants under our supplemental executive retirement plan and deferred compensation plan.

As a result of the Bank’s recent annual regulatory examination by the FDIC and the California Department of Financial Institutions (“CDFI”) and the Bank’s current status as “undercapitalized”, on May 17, 2010 the Bank entered into a Stipulation to the Issuance of a Consent Order (“Consent Order”) with the FDIC and the CDFI. The Consent Order, among other things, requires that the Bank must, within 90 days from the issuance of the Consent Order: (1) increase and maintain the Bank’s Tier 1 capital in such amount to ensure the Bank’s leverage ratio equals or exceeds 10%; (2) increase and maintain the Bank’s total risk-based capital ratio in such amount as to equal or exceed 12%; and (3) develop and adopt a plan to meet and maintain the capital requirements of the Consen t Order.

Liquidity Management

Liquidity management for banks requires that funds always be available to pay anticipated deposit withdrawals and maturing financial obligations such as certificates of deposit promptly and fully in accordance with their terms and to fund new loans.  Liquidity management also considers the potential for unanticipated deposit withdrawals, unanticipated loan demand and reductions in borrowing capacities.  Liability management for banks involves evaluation and selection of the type, maturities, amounts, rates and availability associated with deposits, borrowings and other liabilities that a bank could undertake.  Liability management is integral to the liquidity management process.

The Bank’s major sources of funds include retail deposit inflows, payments and maturities of loans, sale of loans, investment security sales, investment security maturities and pay-downs, Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) advances and other borrowings.  The Bank’s primary use of funds are for advances on loans, the purchase of investment securities, the redemption of maturing CD’s, checking and savings deposit withdrawals, repayment of borrowings, payment of operating expenses and dividends to common shareholders and Company obligations (when authorized).

Our liquidity is determined by the level of assets (such as cash, federalFederal funds sold and available-for-sale securities) that are readily convertible to cash to meet customer withdrawal and borrowing needs.  Deposit growth also contributes to our liquidity.  We review our liquidity position on a regular basis to verify that it is adequate to meet projected loan funding and potential withdrawal of deposits.  We have a comprehensive AssetCapital and LiabilityLiquidity Risk Management policy and a Contingency Funding Plan Policy which we use to monitor and determine adequate levels of liquidity.

To meet liquidity needs, the Bank maintains a portion of funds in cash deposits at other banks, Federal funds sold, excess reserves at Federal Reserve Bank and investment securities.  As of SeptemberJune 30, 2009, our2010, primary liquidity ratio (adjustedwas comprised of $4.3 million in cash and cash equivalents, $44.1 million in interest-bearing deposits at Federal Reserve Bank and $15.9 million in available-for-sale securities. This primary liquidity totaled 19.05% of total assets at June 30, 2010, compared to 14.7% at December 31 2009.

In addition to liquid assets, to deposits andliquidity can be enhanced, if necessary, through short or long term liabilities) was 10.44% of assets compared to 7.67%borrowings which the Bank classifies as of September 30, 2008.available liquidity.  Available liquidity, which includes the ability to borrow at the Federal Home Loan Bank,FHLB, was 27.3% of assets13.05% or $44.0 million as of SeptemberJune 30, 20092010 and 37.9%15.69% or $57.6 million as of September 30, 2008.  Management expects thatDecember 31, 2009.

The Bank also tries to maintain contingent sources of liquidity will remain adequate throughout 2009, as deposit growth keeps pace with loan growth.  Any excess funds will be invested in quality liquid assets, such as excess reservesFederal funds lines, a 25% reserve of FHLB advances, and other borrowings.  At June 30, 2010, contingent liquidity declined to $10.2 million or 3.03% of total assets compared with $45.3 million or 12.3% as of December 31, 2009.

During the fourth quarter of 2009, two correspondent banks suspended the Bank’s unsecured Federal funds purchased lines of credit totaling $11.0 million.  During the first quarter of 2010, an additional two banks suspended their unsecured Federal funds purchased lines of credit totaling $8.0 million.  The Bank is also a member of the FHLB San Francisco and has a secured credit limit for advances, the total usable amount of which is dependent on the borrowing capacity of pledged loans.  In January, 2010, the Bank borrowed an additional $20.0 million from the FHLB to increase our on balance sheet liquidity and to lock in low interest rates for five years.  In February, the FHLB reduced the Bank’s overall secured credit limit and required the physical delivery of pledged loans and th e Bank responded by transferring a security as additional collateral to offset the effect of the reduction in the credit limit.  Additionally, upon further review of the collateral and additional reduction in the percentages of collateral available, the Bank has purchased certificates of deposit in the amount of $16.0 million and pledged to support the borrowing.  At the present time the Bank has additional borrowing capacity at the FHLB of $6.8 million. The FHLB has discretionary right going forward to take actions to manage the risk of its credit relationship with the Bank, which potential actions include further reducing the Bank’s overall credit limit and reducing the borrowing capacity of pledged loans.

At quarter end, the Bank also maintained a $3.5 million secured borrowing line with the Federal Reserve Bank or U.S.of San Francisco’s Discount Window, which was not drawn upon at June 30, 2010.  There were no borrowings outstanding collateralized by the investment portfolio as of June 30, 2010, although $250,000 of securities in the available-for-sale portfolio were pledged for Treasury, Tax & Loan deposits and agency securities.  Management believesUS  Bankruptcy deposits at the Federal Reserve Bank and $577,000 securities in the held-to-maturity portfolio pledged with Union Bank of California for public entity deposits and $50,000 pledged at Union Bank for outstanding letters of credit.  $4.6 million in the held-to-maturity portfolio was free and available to pledge as collateral at Federal Reserve Bank.  To the extent that the Company hasinvestment securities are used as collateral for outstanding borrowings, these securities cannot be sold unless alternative collateral is substituted to collateralize the outstanding borrowings.  The inability to sell these securities would reduce our available liquidity.

Management anticipates that cash and cash equivalents, investment, deposits in financial institutions, potential loan sales and borrowing capacities from the FHLB and the Federal Reserve should provide adequate liquidity for the Bank’s operating, lending, investing, customer deposit withdrawal and capital resourcesmaturing borrowing needs and to meet its short-term and long-term commitments.it regulatory liquidity requirements for the foreseeable future.

Market Risk Management

Overview.  Market risk is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and rates.  Our market risk arises primarily from interest rate risk inherent in our loan, investment and deposit functions.  The goal for managing the assets and liabilities is to maximize shareholder value and earnings while maintaining a high quality balance sheet without exposing us to undue interest rate risk.  Our Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the interest rate risk management policies.  TheSonoma Valley Bank has an Asset and Liability Management Committee (ALCO) that establishes and monitors guidelines to control the sensitivity of earnings to changes in interest rates.

Asset/Liability Management.  Activities involved in asset/liability management include but are not limited to lending, accepting and placing deposits and investing in securities.  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 volat ilevolatile interest rates.  When interest rates increase, the market valuevalu e of securities held in the investment portfolio declines.  Generally, this decline is offset by an increase in earnings.  When interest rates decline, the market value of securities increases while earnings decrease due to the Bank'sour asset sensitivity caused by the variable rate loans.  Usually we are able to mitigate risksthe risk from changes in interest rates with this balance sheet structure.   The asset/liability management policy sets limits on the acceptable amount of variance in net interest margin and market value of equity under changing interest environments.  The Bank usesWe use simulation models to forecast earnings, net interest margin and market value of equity.

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 earnings.  A balance sheet forecast is prepared quarterly using inputs of actual loans, securities and interest bearing liabilities (i.e. deposits/borrowings) positions as the beginning base. The forecast balance sheet is usually processed against fivenine interest rate scenarios.  The scenarios usually include a flat rate forecast, 100, 200, 300 and 300400 basis point rising rate forecasts, a flat rate forecast and a 25100, 200, 300 and 400 basis point decliningfalling rate forecastforecasts which take place within a one year time frame.  Normally we forecast a 100, 200, and 300 basis point declining rate forecast, but since the target Fed Funds is currently 0 – 25 basis points we feel we cannot forecast a declining rate scenario of more than 25 basis points.  The net interest income is measured during the year assuming a gradual change in ratesr ates over the twelve-month horizon.

Our 20092010 net interest income, as forecast below, was modeled utilizing a forecast balance sheet projected from SeptemberJune 30, 20092010 balances.  The following table summarizes the effect on net interest income (NII) of 100, 200+100, +200, +300, +400 and 300-25 basis point changes in interest rates as measured against a constant rate (no change) scenario.

The simulations of earnings do not incorporate any management actions.actions, which might moderate the negative consequences of interest rate deviations.  Therefore, they do not reflect likely actual results, but serve as conservative estimates of interest rate risk.

Since the primary tool used by management to measure and manage interest rate exposure is a simulation model, use of the model to perform simulations reflecting changes in interest rates over a twelve month horizon enables management to develop and initiate strategies for managing exposure to interest rate risks.  ManagementOur management believes that both individually and in the aggregate its modeling assumptions are reasonable, but the complexity of the simulation modeling process results in a sophisticated estimate, not an absolutely precise calculationcalculati on of exposure.

Interest Rate Sensitivity Analysis.  Interest rate sensitivity is a function of the repricing characteristics of the portfolio of assets and liabilities.  These repricing characteristics are the time frames within which the interest-bearing assets and liabilities are subject to change in interest rates either at replacement, repricing or maturity.  Interest rate sensitivity management focuses on the maturity of assets and liabilities and their repricing during periods of change in market interest rates.  Interest rate sensitivity is measured as the difference between the volumes of assets and liabilities in the current portfolio that are subject to repricing at various time horizons.  The differences are known as interest sensitivitysens itivity gaps.

A positive cumulative gap may be equated to an asset sensitive position.  An asset sensitive position in a rising interest rate environment will cause a bank’s interest rate margin to expand.  This results as floating or variable rate loans reprice more rapidly than fixed rate certificates of deposit that reprice as they mature over time.  Conversely, a declining interest rate environment will cause the opposite effect.  A negative cumulative gap may be equated to a liability sensitive position.  A liability sensitive position in a rising interest rate environment will cause a bank=sbank’s interest rate margin to contract, while a declining i nterestinterest rate environment will have the opposite effect.  The table above shows net interest income declining when rates decline and increasing when rates increase. We are usually asset sensitive, which causes the Bank’s net interest margin to expand when rates increase.

The following table sets forth the dollar amounts of maturing and/or repricing assets and liabilities for various periods. This does not include the impact of prepayments or other forms of convexity caused by changing interest rates. Historically, this has been immaterial and estimates for them are not included.

We have more liabilities than assets repricing during the next year. UsuallyHowever, because our asset rates change more than deposit rates, our interest income will change more than the cost of funds when rates change.  However, because the Company’s asset rates change more than deposit rates, the Company’s interest income will change more than the cost of funds when rates change. Its net interest margin should therefore increase somewhat when rates increase and shrink somewhat when rates fall. The table below indicates that we are liability sensitive forthroughout the first six months. During the seven to twelve month period, we show more assets than liabilities repriceable in the seven to twelve month category.  Still atnext year.  At the end of the twel vetwelve month cycle, the rate sensitive gap shows $100.2$49.9 million more in liabilities than assets repricing.with a repricing opportunity.

We control long termlong-term interest rate risk by keeping long term fixed rate assets (longer than 5 years) less than its long term fixed rate funding, primarily demand deposit accounts and capital. The following table sets forth cumulative maturity distributions as of SeptemberJune 30, 20092010 for our interest-bearing assets and interest-bearing liabilities, and our interest rate sensitivity gap as a percentage of total interest-earning assets.  Of the $175.6$165.8 million in fixed rate assets repricing in the over 12 months category, shown in the table below, $15.3$16.3 million are long term assets with a maturity over five years.  This $15.3$16.3 million compares favorably to the $89.0our long term funding of $72.8 million inwhich includes demand and core deposits and equity.

Market risk in securities.Market risk in securities shows the amount of gain or loss (before tax) in the securities portfolio.  Portfolio volume, sector distribution, duration, and quality all affect market valuation.  The adjusted equity ratio is tierTier 1 capital adjusted for the market gain or loss less and any applicable tax effect divided by average total assets for leverage capital purposes for the most recent quarter.

The rati oratio is designed to show tierTier 1 capital if the securities portfolio had to be liquidated and all gains and losses recognized.  If the ratio remains strong after a +2%, +3% or +3%+4%  rate shock, market risk is reasonable in relation to the level of capital.  A bank has flexibility and strength when the securities portfolio can be liquidated for liquidity purposes without affecting capital adequacy.


The Bank has
We have only moderate market risk in investments because the average maturity in the portfolio is not very long, except for municipals, which are held to maturity (see page 2220 for a discussion of investments).  The portfolio should decline in value $478,000only about 0.7% or $477,000 for a 1% increase in rates.  The current gain in the portfolio is $488,000 which means for each 1% interest rate shock the gain would be $10,000.  The gain in value if rates fall would be somewhat less, because there are some callable bonds.  Marking-to-market available for sale securities when rates change would add only modest volatility to a strong level of equity.  This market risk acts to offset the interest rate risk (i.e. if rates decline and NIM is squeezed, there would be a concurrent gain in the value of securities).

Overview

Overview

Net Loss for the three months ended September 30, 2009 was $18.9 million. This represents a decline of $19.8 million from earnings of $916,075 during the same period ended September 30, 2008.   The decline in earnings is a result of a $24.2 million increase in the provision for loan losses.  The reason for the increase in loan losses is further described on page 31 under “Provision for Loan Losses.

Net income (loss) available to common shareholders declined fromWe reported net income of $916,075 during$2.23 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008 tosecond quarter of 2010 compared with a net loss of $19.0($1.48) million duringfor the same periodsecond quarter of 2009. Included in the current year loss was $136,935, which represents dividends accrued and discount amortized on preferred stock.  On a per share basis, net lossincome for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20092010 equaled ($8.27)$0.90 per dilutedbasic weighted average share compared with net incomeloss of $0.40($0.70) per diluted share during the same period in 2008.2009. See page 54 for the comparative detail. The increase in earnings relates to a $3.5 million one time offset to salaries and benefits of $3.1 million due to the voluntary termination by four of the executives of their interest in the Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (SERP) and a one time reversal of expense of $415,342 for the voluntary termination of the Director Retirement Plan by nine of the directors.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net Interest Income

Net interest income, adjusted to a fully taxable equivalent basis, increaseddecreased by $28,000$744,000 to $3.71$3.0 million for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2009,2010, from $3.7 million during the comparable period of 2008.2009.  Net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent basis, as shown on the table “Average-Average Balances/Yields and Rates Paid”Paid on page 30,34 is higher than net interest income on the statements of income because it reflects adjustments applicable to tax-exempt income from certain securities and loans ($82,48269,000 in 20092010 and $82,184$83,000 in 2008,2009, based on a 34% federal income tax rate).

Net interest income (stated on a fully taxable equivalent basis) expressed as a percentage of average earning assets, is referred to as net interest margin.  Our net interest margin for the thirdsecond quarter of 20092010 decreased 91112 basis points to 4.32%3.60% from 5.23%4.72% for the quarter ended SeptemberJune 30, 2008.2009.  The decrease in net interest margin is the result of the yieldyields on earning assets declining faster than the yieldyields on earning liabilities.  For the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2009,2010, the yield on average earning assets has decreased 152137 basis points, while the yield on interest-bearing liabilities decreased 8745 basis points from 2.33%1.66% for the three months of 20082009 to 1.46%1.21% for the three monthmonths period ended SeptemberJune 30, 2009. &# 160;2010.

Interest Income

Interest income adjusted to a fully taxable equivalent basis, for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20092010 decreased by $228,000$904,000 to $4.7 million,$3.8million, a 4.69%19.3% decrease overfrom the $4.9$4.7 million realized during the same period in 2008.2009.  The gaindecline in volume of average balances was responsible for a $473,000 increase$264,000 decrease in interest income and a $701,000$640,000 decrease in interest income was related to lower interest rates, resulting in a net decline in interest income of $228,000.$904,000.  Also contributing to the lower interest income number is the significant amount of loans we are carrying in non-accrual status.

Interest Expense

Total interest expense for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20092010 decreased by $256,000$160,000 to $980,000$821,000 compared with $1.2 million$981,000 in the same period of 2008.2009.  The average rate paid on all interest-bearing liabilities for the thirdsecond quarter of 20092010 decreased 8745 basis points to 1.46%1.21% from 2.33%1.66% in the thirdsecond quarter of 2008.2009. Average interest-earning liabilitiesdeposit balances for the thirdsecond quarter of 20092010 increased to $265.8$271.1 million from $210.8$237.6 million in the same period of 2008,2009, a 26.1%14.1% gain.

The gain in volume of average balances accounted for a $247,000$171,000 increase in interest expense while a decline of $503,000$331,000 was related to lower interest rates paid, resulting in a $256,000$160,000 decrease in interest expense for the thirdsecond quarter of 2009.2010.

Individual components of interest income and interest expense are provided in the table “Average- Average Balances/Yields and Rates Paid”Paid on page 30.34.

Provision for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses charged to operations was $24.5$2.30 million during the thirdsecond quarter of 20092010 compared to the $300,000$4.25 million provision for the thirdsecond quarter of 2008.2009.   The provision for loan losses isCompany continues to accrue based on our evaluationthe assessment of the loan portfolio and the adequacyin light of the allowancecurrent economic conditions.  See page 18 for loan lossesa more in relation to total loans outstanding.   Like many community banks, the Bank does have a significant concentration in commercial real estate loans.  During 2009, due to severe economic recession, overly inflated real estate values, and the lack of available financing options, local commercial real estate values declined considerably.  This severely impacted the Bank’s commercial real estate portfolio causing addi tional provisions for loan losses. The Bank has been proactive in obtaining current appraisals on loans secured by commercial real estate. Per regulatory and accounting guidelines, the Bank is required to write-down collateral-dependent loans to the fair market value of the collateral and set a reserve for potential selling costs.  As these loans were charged off against the loan loss reserve, the reserve was reduced to a level that did not take into consideration the inherent risk in the remaining portfolio, and thus needed to be replenished.  Additionally, due to increased risk associated with a faltering economy and an increase in the Bank’s loss history, the Bank increased reserves on all non-classified loans.   Although the economy has shown some signs of stabilization, conditions in the commercial real estate market are anticipated to worsen further which will likely result in additional provisions for loan loss in 2009.depth discussion.

Non-interest Income

Non-interest income of $520,000$706,000 for the thirdsecond quarter of 20092010 represented a decreasean increase of $9,000,$204,000, or 1.62%40.4%, from the $529,000$502,000 for the comparable period in 2008.  Contributing2009.  The increase is largely a result of the $238,610 non-recurring gain on sale of securities.

Income from service charges on deposit accounts has declined 14.7%, or $49,000 from $334,000 to this variance$285,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2010, respectively.  There was a decrease of $41,000 in income from overdrafts and checks drawn against insufficient funds and a decline of $7,000 in income on business accounts

Other fee income was$58,000 for second quarter 2010, a decrease of $16,000 or 21.8% from $74,000 for the same period of 2009.  This is due to a drop of $14,000 in credit card merchant processing fees and a decline of $2,000 in wire transfer fees.

All other non-interest income showed a 13.0% or $12,000 increase from $95,000 for second quarter 2009 to $107,000 in 2010.  This is a result of an increase in the income generated by bank-ownedbank owned life insurance policies.insurance.  Income on the policies was $96,000$88,000 for the quarter ending Septemberthree months ended June 30, 2009 compared to $107,000$100,000 for the same period in 2008.

Provision (Benefit) for Income Taxes

The CompanyAs of June 30, 2010, we recorded no income tax provision related to the pre-tax income generated in the second quarter.  This compares to an income tax benefit of $4.0$1.2 million, or 17.4%as of pre-tax loss for the quarter ended SeptemberJune 30, 2009.  This compares to income tax expense of $459,843, or 33.4% of pre-tax income for the comparable quarter of 2008.  The percentage for 2009 is less than the statutory rate due to the creation of a partial valuation allowance against the deferred tax asset, after managementManagement determined that it is “more likely than not” that we will be able to fully recognize all of our net deferred tax assets based onafter the cumulative pre-tax losses exceeding four years. This increased expense is partially offset by federal tax credits on California Affordable Housing Investments and tax exempt income such as earnings on Bank owned life i nsurance and municipal loan and investment income, which are in addition to the tax benefit generated as a result of the net loss.valuation allowance.

Item 3.     QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

Information regarding Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk appears on page 27 through 29 under the caption “Market Risk Management” in Item 2, and is incorporated herein by reference.Not Required for Smaller Reporting Companies.

Item 4.   CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures are designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in reports filed by the Company under the Exchange Act, such as this Quarterly Report, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Disclosure controls and procedures are also designed with the objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
The Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, about the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”). Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. Further, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision - -makingdecision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake.mi stake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Projections of any evaluation of controls effectiveness to future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

During the quarter ended SeptemberJune 30, 2009,2010, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, or to our knowledge, in other factors, that have materially affected or, are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controlcontrols over financial reporting.

Management Consideration of Restatement

Background

In connection with filing the Company’s Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2009 (“Original Report”), management, under the supervision and with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2009.  In this original evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
34

Commencing after the date of the filing of the Company’s Original Report, bank examiners began their normal and periodic on-site examination of the Bank. At the conclusion of the on-site work by the examiners, the examiners advised the Bank that certain impaired loans that the Bank had restructured should be valued using collateral values which had declined due to market conditions, rather than the discounted cash flow method, which management believes was appropriate at the time, resulting in additional loan charge-offs and provisions for loan losses related to the reclassified loans. These additional specific charge offs changed the Company’s loan loss history statistics, which then required additional general provisions for potential fut ure losses on the entire portfolio. In addition, the examiners advised the Company that certain restructured loans should be placed in non-accrual status and directed that the Company reverse interest income previously recognized on these loans. The bank examiners directed the Bank to amend its call report for the quarter ended September 30, 2009, to reflect these adjustments. After discussing the requested adjustments with its outside independent accountants and the Company’s Audit Committee, management determined that the Company should record additional loss reserves, charge offs, and a reversal of interest income in the quarter ended September 30, 2009, and reflect the additional non-accrual and impaired loans in its financial statements as of September 30, 2009.
Reevaluation


In connection with the revision to the financial statements as described in this Amended Report, management reevaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2009. In connection therewith, management determined there were no material weaknesses in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (ICFR) as of September 30, 2009 and that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2009.  In making this determination, management determined, among other things, that:

·  The design of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures was effective.  In making this determination management concluded that  (i) the Company had qualified individuals administering, analyzing and managing the Company’s accounting decisions and the information disclosed in reports filed with the SEC, (ii) the Company maintained policies and procedures necessary to allow the Company to make proper accounting determinations, (iii) the Company designed and followed policies and procedures that allowed information and analysis about the Company’s loans to be communicated fully and frequently to management and the loan committee and (iv) the Company maintained effective policies and procedures that allowed management, the Company’s loan committee and an independent third party loan review specialist to r eview, analyze and oversee the Company’s loan portfolio and the accounting decisions relating thereto.
·  
·  The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures operated properly.  Management concluded that the Company followed all of its policies and procedures as well as the applicable accounting standards and regulatory guidelines in existence at September 30, 2009.

·  The Company did not have a material weakness in its ICFR as of September 30, 2009. The bank regulators made different accounting conclusions regarding the Company’s loans than the Company made in the Original Report, which differing conclusions led to the filing of an amended call report for the quarter ended September 30, 2009 and this Amended Report.  These conclusions are based upon differences in interpretation and judgment of subjective factors, which, given the regulatory environment and deteriorating real estate conditions in general, the Company does not believe constitute a material weakness in ICFR.

Part II

Item 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 
From time to time we are involved in litigation incidental to the conduct of our business.  While the outcome of lawsuits and other proceedings against us cannot be predicted with certainty, in the opinion of management, individually, or in the aggregate, no such lawsuits are expected to have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.

Item 1A. RISK FACTORS1A.   Risk Factors

The risks identified in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008,2009, have not changed in any material respect, except that additional risk factors are added at the end of the list of risk factors under Item 1A to read in its entirety as follows:

If Economic Conditions Deteriorate, Our Results of Operations and Financial Condition could be Adversely Impacted.

Our financial results may be adversely affected by changes in prevailing economic conditions, including decreases in real estate values, changes in interest rates which may cause a decrease in interest rate spreads, adverse employment conditions, the monetary and fiscal policies of the federal government and other significant external events, including credit availability from correspondent banks. Adverse changes in the economy may also have a negative effect of the ability of borrowers to make timely repayments of their loans, which could have an adverse impact on earnings.

Our Securities Portfolio may be Negatively Impacted by Fluctuations in Market Value.

Our securities portfolio may be impacted by fluctuations in market value, potentially reducing accumulated other comprehensive income and/or earnings. Fluctuations in market value may be caused by decreases in interest rates, lower market prices for securities and lower investor demand. Our securities portfolio is evaluated for other-than-temporary impairment on at least a quarterly basis. If this evaluation shows an impairment to cash flow connected with one or more securities, a potential loss to earnings may occur.

Current levels of market volatility are unprecedented.

The market for certain investment securities has become highly volatile or inactive, and may not stabilize or resume in the near term. This volatility can result in significant fluctuations in the prices of those securities, which may affect the Company’s results of operations.
 
 

39



Our business has been and may continue to be adversely affected by current conditions in the financial markets and economic conditions generally.

The global and U.S. economies are experiencing significantly reduced business activity and consumer spending as a result of, among other factors, disruptions in the capital and credit markets during the past year. Dramatic declines in the housing market during the past year,years, with falling home prices and increasing foreclosures and unemployment, have resulted in significant write-downs of asset values by financial institutions, including government-sponsored entities and major commercial and investment banks.

36

A sustained weakness or weakening in business and economic conditions generally or specifically in the principal markets in which we do business could have one or more of the following adverse effects on our business:

a decrease in the demand for loans or other products and services offered by us;

a decrease in the value of our loans or other assets secured by consumer or commercial real estate;

a decrease to deposit balances due to overall reductions in the accounts of customers;

an impairment of certain intangible assets or investment securities;
a decrease in the demand for loans or other products and services offered by us;
  
a decrease in the value of our loans or other assets secured by consumer or commercial real estate;
a decrease to deposit balances due to overall reductions in the accounts of customers;
an impairment of certain intangible assets or investment securities;
an increase in the number of borrowers who become delinquent, file for protection under bankruptcy laws or default on their loans or other obligations to us. An increase in the number of delinquencies, bankruptcies or defaults could result in a higher level of nonperforming assets, net charge-offs and provision for credit losses.
an increase in the number of borrowers who become delinquent, file for protection under bankruptcy laws or default on their loans or other obligations to us. An increase in the number of delinquencies, bankruptcies or defaults could result in a higher level of nonperforming assets, net charge-offs and provision for credit losses.


Additional requirements under our regulatory framework, especially those imposed under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 ("ARRA"), the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 ("EESA") or other legislation intended to strengthen the U.S. financial system, could adversely affect us.

Recent government efforts to strengthen the U.S. financial system, including the implementation of ARRA, EESA, the FDIC’s Temporary Liquidity Guaranty Program (“TLGP”) and special assessments imposed by the FDIC, subject participants to additional regulatory fees and requirements, including corporate governance requirements, executive compensation restrictions, restrictions on declaring or paying dividends, restrictions on share repurchases, limits on executive compensation tax deductions and prohibitions against golden parachute payments. These requirements, and any other requirements that may be subsequently imposed, may have a material and adverse affect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

40


If we are unable to redeem the Series A Preferred Stock within five years, the cost of this capital to us will increase substantially.

If we are unable to redeem the Series A Preferred Stock prior to February 20, 2014, the cost of the Series A Preferred Stock will increase substantially on that date, from 5.0% per annum to 9.0% per annum. Depending on our financial condition at the time, this increase in the annual dividend rate on the Series A Preferred Stock could have a material negative effect on our liquidity.



37


Certain restrictions will affect our ability to declare or pay dividends and repurchase our shares as a result of our decision to participate in the Treasury’s Capital Purchase program (the “CPP”).

As a result of our participation in the CPP, our ability to declare or pay dividends on any of our common stock has been limited. Specifically, we are not able to declare dividend payments on our common, junior preferred or pari passu preferred stock if we are in arrears on the dividends on our Preferred Stock.

Further, we are not permitted to increase dividends on our common stock without the Treasury’s approval until the third anniversary of the investment unless the Preferred Stock has been redeemed or transferred. In addition, our ability to repurchase our shares has been restricted. The Treasury’s consent generally will be required for us to make any stock repurchases until the tenth anniversary of the investment by the Treasury unless the Preferred Stock has been redeemed or transferred.
