Rancho Santa Fe, California . . . First Community Bancorp (Nasdaq: FCBP) today announced first quarter 2005 net earnings of $10.3 million, or $0.63 per diluted share, compared to first quarter 2004 net earnings of $7.5 million or $0.47 per diluted share. Factors contributing to the quarter-over-quarter increase in net earnings included an increase in average loans of $494.8 million and an 80 basis point increase in the net interest margin.

This also compares to fourth quarter 2004 net earnings of $10.4 million, or $0.65 per diluted share. The fourth quarter of 2004 included an after-tax gain of $566,000 on the sale of an acquired charged-off loan. There was no similar income item in the first quarter of 2005.

The comparability of financial information is also affected by our acquisitions. Operating results include the operations of acquired entities from the dates of acquisition. First Community Financial Corporation, or FC Financial, acquired in March 2004, and Harbor National Bank, or Harbor, acquired in April 2004, together added $304.3 million in assets.

FIRST QUARTER RESULTS

The increases in net earnings, ROA, and ROE for the first quarter of 2005 compared to the first quarter of 2004 were due to increases in our net interest margin and average loans. The decreases in net earnings, ROA, and ROE for the first quarter of 2005 compared to the fourth quarter of 2004 were due to a provision for credit losses and lower noninterest income offset by lower noninterest expenses in the first quarter of 2005.

Matt Wagner, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “During the first quarter we concentrated on growing deposits, controlling expenses and maintaining our margin. We succeeded on all fronts, with overall deposits growing nearly $100 million in the quarter. Loan growth slowed during the first quarter after sizeable growth during the fourth quarter. Our average loan balances grew over $32 million in the quarter, contributing to a strong yield and higher interest income. We will continue to focus on loan growth and executing on our core business.”

Vic Santoro, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, also commented, “We continue to be well-positioned to benefit from a continued gradual rise in market interest rates. Our net interest margin increased 13 basis points during the quarter to 5.97%, driven mainly by a 24 basis point increase in our loan yield to 7.30%. We increased certain deposit rates in response to market pressures, although we maintained our disciplined pricing policy.”

BALANCE SHEET GROWTH

Loans, net of deferred fees and costs, increased $10.0 million to $2.128 billion at March 31, 2005, from year end 2004. Such loan growth was centered largely in commercial real estate secured loans. Deposits decreased $268.8 million from year end 2004 to $2.164 billion at March 31, 2005. Included in the year end 2004 balance was a short-term $365.0 million interest-bearing deposit received on December 31, 2004, which has since been withdrawn by the customer. Excluding the $365.0 million deposit, our deposit balances increased $96.2 million during the first quarter of 2005. Demand deposits increased $33.3 million to $975.1 million at March 31, 2005, and represented 45.1% of total deposits at that date.

NET INTEREST INCOME CONTINUES TO INCREASE

Net interest income increased to $35.6 million for the first quarter of 2005 compared to $26.3 million for the same period of 2004 and $34.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2004. The year-over-year increase was driven by increased interest income from earning asset growth, which was fueled by loan growth and acquisitions, and improved net interest margin. Average earning assets increased $370.5 million to $2.4 billion for the first quarter of 2005 when compared to the same period for 2004, including an increase of $494.8 million in average loans. The increase in net interest income over the previous quarter resulted primarily from the increase in yield on loans and a $32.4 million increase in our average loans. Our floating rate loan products continue to reprice in the current higher interest rate environment.

Interest expense on borrowed funds, including subordinated debentures, totaled $2.7 million for the first quarter of 2005, an increase of $1.4 million over the first quarter of 2004. Such increase was due mainly to increased average borrowings, including subordinated debentures, used to fund loan growth and acquisitions.

NET INTEREST MARGIN CONTINUES TO EXPAND

The Company’s net interest margin for the first quarter of 2005 was 5.97%, an increase of 80 basis points when compared to the same period of 2004 and an increase of 13 basis points when compared to the fourth quarter of 2004. Yields on average earning assets were 6.75% and 5.78% for the first quarters of 2005 and 2004, respectively, and 6.54% for the fourth quarter of 2004. The increases in the yield on average earning assets and the increases in the net interest margin year-over-year are attributable to our prime rate increases in response to the gradual rise in market interest rates. The increase in the net interest margin in the first quarter of 2005 over the fourth quarter of 2004 is due to higher loan yields. The yield on average loans was 7.30% and 6.54% for the first quarters of 2005 and 2004, and 7.06% for the fourth quarter of 2004.

The average cost of deposits was 0.36% for the first quarter of 2005 compared to 0.36% and 0.33% for the first and fourth quarters of 2004. The increased deposit cost in the first quarter of 2005 compared to the fourth quarter of 2004 resulted from upward adjustments made in rates offered on money market and certain time deposits. The overall cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased to 1.30% for the first quarter of 2005 compared to 0.99% for the same period of 2004 and 1.16% for the fourth quarter of 2004. The increase over the first quarter of 2004 is attributed largely to the increased balances for borrowed funds, including subordinated debentures, used to fund loan growth and acquisitions. The increase over the fourth quarter of 2004 is the result of our borrowings, including subordinated debt, repricing in the higher interest rate environment.

NONINTEREST INCOME ITEMS

Noninterest income for the first quarter of 2005 totaled $3.5 million compared to $4.1 million and $4.7 million for the first and fourth quarters of 2004. Noninterest income for the fourth quarter of 2004 included the gain on sale of the acquired charged-off loan of $975,000; there was no such income in the first quarter of 2005. Service charges and fees on deposit accounts declined due to increased earnings credits tied to market interest rates.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE DECLINES FROM THE FOURTH QUARTER OF 2004

Noninterest expense for the first quarter of 2005 totaled $21.0 million compared to $17.9 million and $22.4 million for the first and fourth quarters of 2004. The increase over the first quarter of 2004 is due largely to the two acquisitions consummated in March and April of 2004 as well as increased compensation and professional fees. The increased compensation expense for the first quarter of 2005 compared to the same period of 2004 is largely the result of an increased number of employees due to the acquisitions, staff additions to support expanded lending activity, and the amortization of restricted and performance stock awards. Increased other professional fees for the first quarter of 2005 compared to the same period of 2004 resulted from legal fees related to certain outstanding litigation and our on-going compliance cost with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

The decrease in noninterest expense for the first quarter of 2005 compared to the fourth quarter of 2004 was due mainly to less compensation and other professional services expenses. The fourth quarter of 2004 included a settlement of a deferred compensation arrangement and additional performance stock amortization related to the performance stock awards vesting earlier than originally expected. The decline in other professional services relates mostly to a decline in legal fees and the costs of Sarbanes-Oxley Act compliance compared to those incurred in the fourth quarter of 2004.

Noninterest expense includes the following noncash items for the periods indicated:

	First Quarter 2005		First Quarter 2004		Fourth Quarter 2004
Intangible asset amortization	$	813,000	$	691,000	$	837,000
Restricted and performance stock amortization	997,000		654,000		3,109,000
Total	$	1,810,000	$	1,345,000	$	3,946,000

For 2005, intangible asset amortization is estimated to be $3.3 million. Restricted and performance stock award amortization is estimated to be $4.5 million for 2005. These estimates are, however, subject to change.

INCOME TAXES

Our effective income tax rates were 41% and 40% for the first quarter of 2005 and 2004 and 39% for the fourth quarter of 2004.

CREDIT QUALITY

We made a provision for credit losses of $800,000 during the first quarter of 2005 in response to increased nonaccrual loans and, to a lesser extent, for increased average loan

balances. The allowance for total credit losses totaled $30.5 million at March 31, 2005, and was comprised of the allowance for loan losses of $28.1 million and the reserve for unfunded loan commitments of $2.5 million. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans, net of deferred fees and costs, was 1.32% at March 31, 2005.

Nonaccrual loans increased to $21.7 million, or 1.02% of loans net of deferred fees and costs, at March 31, 2005, from $8.9 million, or 0.42% of loans net of deferred fees and costs, at December 31, 2004. The $12.8 million increase was comprised of additions to nonaccruals of $14.8 million and reductions of $2.0 million. Included in the additions are four relationships whose aggregate balance is approximately $12.9 million. Of these relationships, two covered by insurance and totaling $8.8 million are included in our foreign portfolio and the other two secured relationships totaling $4.1 million are included in our domestic portfolio, one secured by accounts receivable and the other secured by real estate. There are no other individually large exposures in the nonaccrual loan portfolio. We believe we have adequate reserves on these loans to cover the loss exposure as measured by our methodology.

REGULATORY CAPITAL MEASURES ARE ABOVE THE WELL-CAPITALIZED MINIMUMS

First Community and its wholly-owned banking subsidiaries, Pacific Western National Bank and First National Bank, each remained well capitalized at March 31, 2005. Regulatory capital ratios for the Banks and the consolidated company are as follows:

	Pacific Western		First National		Consolidated Company
Tier 1 leverage capital ratio	9.04	%	10.05	%	9.80	%
Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio	9.67	%	10.25	%	10.22	%
Total risked-based capital ratio	10.71	%	11.50	%	11.44	%

The Company has issued $118 million of trust preferred securities. These securities are currently included in our Tier I capital for purposes of determining the Company’s Tier I and total risk-based capital ratios. The FRB, which is the holding company’s banking regulator, has promulgated a modification of the capital regulations affecting trust preferred securities. Under this modification, effective March 31, 2009, the Company will be required to use a more restrictive formula to determine the amount of trust preferred securities that can be included in regulatory Tier I capital. At that time, the Company will be allowed to include in Tier I capital an amount of trust preferred securities equal to no more than 25% of the sum of all core capital elements, which is generally defined as shareholders’ equity, less goodwill net of any related deferred income tax liability. The regulations currently in effect through December 31, 2008, limit the amount of trust preferred securities that can be included in Tier I capital to 25% of the sum of core capital elements without a deduction for goodwill. We have determined that our Tier I capital ratios would remain above the well-capitalized level had the modification of the capital regulations been in effect at March 31, 2005. We expect that our Tier I capital ratios will be at or above the existing well capitalized levels on March 31, 2009, the first date on which the modified capital regulations must be applied.
