A Growing Economy is Essential for Strong Organic Growth
• Southern California is the 11th largest economy in the world*
• Diversity of industries, population growth, substantial international trade and a large, well-trained workforce are growth drivers
• Los Angeles, Riverside, San Bernardino, Orange and San Diego were among the ten fastest growing counties in the U.S. between 2000 and 2003**
• The size and diversity of the region has provided a foundation for solid organic growth and the transformation of FCBP’s balance sheet

Expense Management is Critical in a Consolidating Business Like Banking

• Credit

• First Community seeks to price each of its deposit products in the third quartile among its peers
• Deposit changes are monitored continuously to understand sensitivity to pricing decisions
• Borrowings are generally used to cover short-term funding needs or financing for acquisitions
