FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
In addition to the historical information, this Quarterly Report contains certain forward-looking information within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which is subject to the “Safe Harbor” created by those Sections. The reader of this Quarterly Report should understand that all such forward-looking statements are subject to various uncertainties and risks that could affect their outcome. The Company’s actual results could differ materially from those suggested by such forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, (i) variances in the actual versus projected growth in assets, return on assets, loan losses, expenses, rates charged on loans and earned on securities investments, rates paid on deposits, a nd fee and other noninterest income earned; (ii) competitive pressures among depository and other financial institutions may increase significantly and have an effect on pricing, spending, third-party relationships and revenues; (iii) enactment of adverse government regulation; (iv) adverse conditions and volatility, as a result of economic uncertainty created by the United States’ war on terrorism, the war in Iraq, in the stock market, the public debt market and other capital markets and the impact of such conditions of the Company; (v) continued changes in the interest rate environment may reduce interest margins and adversely impact net interest income; (vi) the ability to satisfy the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and other regulations governing internal controls; and (vii) as well as other factors. This entire Quarterly Report should be read to put such forward-looking statements in context and to gain a more complete understanding of the uncertainties and risks involved in the Compan y’s business.
Moreover, wherever phrases such as or similar to “In Management’s opinion”, or ”Management considers” are used, such statements are as of and based upon the knowledge of Management at the time made and are subject to change by the passage of time and/or subsequent events, and accordingly such statements are subject to the same risks and uncertainties noted above with respect to forward-looking statements.
The reader is directed to the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 for further discussion of factors which could affect the Company’s business and cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statement made in this report.

The interim results for the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes as well as other information included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, The Vintage Bank (the "Bank"). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Nature of Operations
The Bank operates 10 branch offices in the California counties of Napa and Solano. The Bank offers a full range of commercial banking services to individuals and the business and agricultural communities in Napa and Solano Counties. The Bank emphasizes retail commercial banking operations and accepts checking and savings deposits, makes consumer, commercial, construction and real estate loans, and provides other customary banking services. The Bank does not offer trust services and does not plan to do so in the near future. There have been no material changes in services offered by the Bank. The Bank makes annuities and mutual funds available to its customers through Linsco Private Ledger.
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires Management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, investments, income taxes and contingencies. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under differ ent assumptions or conditions. The allowance for loan losses, income taxes and supplemental retirement plan liabilities are accounting estimates that materially affect the Company's consolidated financial statements.
Significant Group Concentration of Credit Risk
The Bank concentrates its lending activities in commercial, installment, construction and real estate loans made primarily to businesses and individuals located in Napa and Solano Counties. The Company has a diversified loan portfolio within the business segments located in this geographical area. The Bank has a concentration in higher risk commercial real estate loans (“CRE”) loans. At September, 30 2006, approximately 39% of the Bank’s lending portfolio is classified as CRE (excluding agriculture and owner occupied) and approximately 61% is classified as CRE (including agriculture and owner occupied).
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, amounts due from banks and federal funds sold.
9
Investment Securities
The Company classifies its debt and marketable equity securities into one of two categories: available-for-sale or held-to-maturity. Held-to-maturity securities are those securities that the Company has the ability and intent to hold until maturity. All other securities are classified as available-for-sale. During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, and throughout 2005, the Company did not have any securities classified as held-to-maturity.
Available-for-sale securities are recorded at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses, net of the related tax effect, on available-for-sale securities are reported as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in shareholders' equity until realized.
Premiums and discounts are amortized or accreted over the life of the related investment security as an adjustment to yield using the effective interest method. Dividend and interest income are recognized when earned. Realized gains and losses for securities are included in earnings and are derived using the specific identification method for determining the cost of securities sold. Unrealized losses due to fluctuations in fair value of securities held to maturity or available for sale are recognized through earnings when it is determined that an other than temporary decline in value has occurred.
Loans Held for Sale
Loans originated or purchased and considered held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or estimated market value in the aggregate. Net unrealized losses are recognized through a valuation allowance by charges to income.
Loans
Loans are reported at the principal amount outstanding, net of unearned income and the allowance for loan losses. Loan origination and commitment fees and certain direct loan origination costs are deferred, and the net amount is amortized as an adjustment of the related loan's yield over the estimated life of the loan. Loans on which the accrual of interest has been discontinued are designated as nonaccrual loans. Accrual of interest on loans is generally discontinued either when reasonable doubt exists as to the full, timely collection of interest or principal or when a loan becomes contractually past due by 90 days or more with respect to interest or principal. When loans are 90 days past due, but in Management's judgment are well secured and in the process of collection, they may be classified as accrual. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, all interest previously accrued but not collected is reversed. Income on such loans is then recogn ized only to the extent that cash is received and where the future collection of principal is probable. Interest accruals are resumed on such loans only when they are brought fully current with respect to interest and principal and when, in the judgment of Management, the loans are estimated to be fully collectible as to both principal and interest. All impaired loans are classified as nonaccrual loans. For purposes of this discussion, “loans” shall include all loans and lease contracts that are part of the Company’s portfolio.
Sales and Servicing of SBA Loans
The Company originates loans to customers under a Small Business Administration ("SBA") program that generally provides for SBA guarantees of 70% to 90% of each loan. On occasion, the Company sells the guaranteed portion of the SBA loan to a third party and retains the unguaranteed portion in its own portfolio. The Company may be required to refund a portion of the sales premium received if the borrower makes a payment 10 or more days late within 90 days of the settlement date or the loan prepays within 90 days of the settlement date. As a result, the Company estimates a reserve, based upon historical prepayment and default activity and does not recognizes the entire gain on these loan sales until the 90 day period elapses. To calculate the gain (loss) on sale, the Company's investment in an SBA loan is allocated among the retained portion of the loan and the sold portion of the loan, based on the relative fair val ue of each portion. The gain (loss) on the sold portion of the loan is recognized at the time of sale based on the difference between the sale proceeds and the allocated investment. As a result of the relative fair value allocation, the carrying value of the retained portion is discounted, with the discount accreted to interest income over the life of the loan. The Company retains the servicing of the sold SBA loans and receives a 1% servicing fee. Related servicing assets are immaterial as of September 30, 2006.
10
Reserve for Unfunded Commitments
The reserve for unfunded commitments is established through a provision for losses - unfunded commitments charged to noninterest expense. The reserve for unfunded commitments is an amount that Management believes will be adequate to absorb probable losses inherent in existing commitments, including unused portions of revolving lines of credit and other loans, standby letters of credit, and unused deposit account overdraft privilege. The reserve for unfunded commitments is based on evaluations of the collectibility and prior loss experience of unfunded commitments. The evaluations take into consideration such factors as changes in the nature and size of the loan portfolio, overall loan portfolio quality, loan concentrations, specific problem loans and related unfunded commitments, and current economic conditions that may affect the borrower's or depositor's ability to pay.
Allowance for Loan Losses
The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses charged to expense. Loans and deposit related overdrafts are charged against the allowance for loan losses when Management believes that the collectibility of the principal is unlikely. The allowance is an amount that Management believes will be adequate to absorb probable losses inherent in existing loans and leases, based on evaluations of the collectibility, impairment and prior loss experience of loans and leases. The evaluations take into consideration such factors as changes in the nature and size of the portfolio, overall portfolio quality, loan concentrations, specific problem loans, and current economic conditions that may affect the borrower's ability to pay. The Company defines a loan as impaired when it is probable the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Impaired loans are measure d based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's original effective interest rate. As a practical expedient, impairment may be measured based on the loan's observable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. When the measure of the impaired loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan, the impairment is recorded through the allowance for loan losses.
Credit risk is inherent in the business of lending. As a result, the Company maintains an allowance for loan losses to absorb losses inherent in the Company's loan portfolio. This is maintained through periodic charges to earnings. These charges are shown in the Consolidated Income Statements as provision for loan losses. All specifically identifiable and quantifiable losses are immediately charged off against the allowance. However, for a variety of reasons, not all losses are immediately known to the Company and, of those that are known, the full extent of the loss may not be quantifiable at that point in time. The balance of the Company's allowance for loan losses is meant to be an estimate of these unknown but probable losses inherent in the portfolio. For purposes of this discussion, "loans" shall include all loans and lease contracts that are part of the Company's portfolio.
The Company formally assesses the adequacy of the allowance on a quarterly basis. Determination of the adequacy is based on ongoing assessments of the probable risk in the outstanding loan portfolio, and to a lesser extent the Company's loan commitments. These assessments include the periodic re-grading of credits based on changes in their individual credit characteristics including delinquency, seasoning, recent financial performance of the borrower, economic factors, changes in the interest rate environment, growth of the portfolio as a whole or by segment, and other factors as warranted. Loans are initially graded when originated. They are re-graded as they are renewed, when there is a new loan to the same borrower, when identified facts demonstrate heightened risk of nonpayment, or if they become delinquent. Re-grading of larger problem loans occur at least quarterly. Confirmation of the quality of the grading process is obtained by independent credit reviews conducted by consultants specifically hired for this purpose and by various bank regulatory agencies.
The Company's method for assessing the appropriateness of the allowance for loan losses and the reserve for unfunded commitments includes specific allowances for identified problem loans and leases as determined by SFAS 114, formula allowance factors for pools of credits, and allowances for changing environmental factors (e.g., interest rates, growth, economic conditions, etc.).
Based on the current conditions of the loan portfolio, Management believes that the allowance for loan losses, which stands at $5,064,000 at September 30, 2006, is adequate to absorb probable losses inherent in the Company's loan portfolio. No assurance can be given, however, that adverse economic conditions or other circumstances will not result in increased losses in the portfolio.

Off-Balance Sheet Credit Related Financial Instruments
In the ordinary course of business, the Company has entered into commitments to extend credit, including commercial letters of credit, standby letters of credit, and deposit account overdraft privilege. Such financial instruments are recorded when they are funded and have not materially changed from December 31, 2005.
Premises and Equipment
Land is carried at cost. Buildings and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization expenses are computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets or lease terms, whichever is less. Asset lives range from 3-7 years for furniture and equipment and 10-31years for land improvements and buildings.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets with estimable useful lives are amortized over their respective estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values, and periodically reviewed for impairment.
As of September 30, 2006, the Company had identifiable intangible assets consisting of unrecognized prior service costs of the Company’s supplemental retirement plan (minimum pension liability). This intangible asset is amortized on a straight-line basis over eight years.
The following table summarizes the Company’s minimum pension liability intangible as of September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005.

Income Taxes
The Company's accounting for income taxes is based on an asset and liability approach. The Company recognizes the amount of taxes payable or refundable for the current year, and deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequences that have been recognized in its financial statements or tax returns. The measurement of tax assets and liabilities is based on the provisions of enacted tax laws.

Stock-Based Compensation
On January 1, 2006 the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (SFAS 123R), using the modified-prospective transition method. Under this transition method, compensation cost recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 includes: (a) compensation cost for all share-based awards granted prior to, but not yet vested as of, January 1, 2006, based on the grant-date fair value and related service period estimates in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS 123 and (b) compensation cost for all share-based awards granted subsequent to January 1, 2006, based on the grant-date fair value and related service periods estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123R that have vested during the reporting period . Under the provisions of the modified-prospective transition method, results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 have not been restated.
Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R, the Company used the intrinsic value method to account for its stock option plans (in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25). Intrinsic value is the difference between share fair market value and option exercise price. Under this method, compensation expense was recognized for awards of options to purchase shares of common stock to employees under compensatory plans only if the fair market value of the stock at the option grant date (or other measurement date, if later) was greater than the amount the employee was required to pay to acquire the stock. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (SFAS 123), permitted companies to continue using the intrinsic value method or to adopt a fair value based &n bsp;method to account for stock option plans. The fair value based method would have resulted in the recognition, as expense over the vesting period, of the fair value of all stock-based awards on the date of grant.
SFAS 123R clarifies and expands the guidance in SFAS 123 in several areas, including measuring fair value and attributing compensation cost to reporting periods. SFAS 123R includes a requirement to: (a) estimate forfeitures of share-based awards at the date of grant, (b) expense share-based awards granted to retirement eligible employees and those employees with non-substantive non-compete agreements immediately, (c) attribute compensation costs of share-based award grants to the stated future vesting period, (d) recognize compensation cost of all share-based awards based upon the grant-date fair value (including pre-2006 options).
The Company did not recognize any gain or loss resulting from the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle upon adoption of SFAS 123R on January 1, 2006. Based on the stock-based compensation awards outstanding as of December 31, 2005, for which the requisite service was not fully rendered prior to January 1, 2006, and any subsequent option and restricted stock grants as of September 30, 2006, the Company expects to recognize total pre-tax stock-based compensation cost of approximately $1,065,000 related to outstanding stock option and restricted stock grants, of which $328,000 was recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2006, and $142,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2006 in accordance with the accounting requirements of SFAS 123R. The after-tax effect of adopting SFAS 123R was a reduction of net income of $236,000 and a reduction in diluted earnings per share of $.06, for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. Future levels of compensation cost recognized related to stock-based compensation awards may be impacted by new awards and/or modifications, repurchases and cancellations of existing awards.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, had the compensation cost for the Company’s option plans been determined using the fair-value method of SFAS 123, the Company’s net income and earnings per share would have been reduced to the pro forma amounts indicated below:

The fair value of employee stock option grants is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The following assumptions were used for the nine months ended September 30, 2006:
Option-Pricing Model Assumptions: | |
|
|
Dividend yield | 0.52% |
Expected life (in years) | 4.3 |
Expected volatility | 32.88% |
Risk-free interest rate | 4.31% |
In February 2002, the Company adopted the North Bay Bancorp 2002 Stock Option Plan (2002 Plan) covering officers, employees, directors, and certain independent contractors of the Company. Under the 2002 Plan, the option price cannot be less than the fair market value of the Common Stock at the date of grant. Options for the 2002 Plan expire no later than the tenth anniversary of the grant date. Vesting schedules under the 2002 Plan are determined individually for each grant.
On May 17, 2006, at the 2006 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, the shareholders of North Bay Bancorp approved amendments to the North Bay Bancorp 2002 Stock Option Plan (the 2002 Plan). As a result of the amendments, the 2002 Plan is now entitled the North Bay Bancorp Amended and Restated 2002 Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Amended and Restated Plan”). In addition to certain nonsubstantive changes, the Amended and Restated Plan increases the number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock available for grant and expands the types of equity-based awards that may be granted. The Amended and Restated Plan will be administered by the Compensation Committee, except that any awards to directors or executive officers of the Company or its affiliates recommended by the Compensation Committee must be approved by the independent members of the Board of Directors of the Company.
The Amended and Restated Plan permits the grant of stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, performance shares and performance units in addition to grants of incentive stock options and non-statutory stock options. The Amended and Restated Plan has also been amended to increase the number of shares of Common Stock available for grant under the 2002 Plan by 92,664 shares, from 236,540 to 329,204 shares. As a result, the number of shares available for grant under the Amended and Restated Plan when combined with the number of shares of Common Stock currently subject to outstanding options under the 2002 Plan would equal 840,000 or 20.2% of the current outstanding Common Stock of the Company.
Restricted Common Stock Awards
During the third quarter of 2006, the Company granted 1,250 shares of restricted common stock to selected officers, which had a fair market value of $28.50 per share on the date of grant. These restricted common stock awards cliff vest on the fifth anniversary of the grant date. As of September 30, 2006, 21,950 shares of restricted stock are outstanding, nonvested and expected to vest. The compensation cost that has been charged against income for restricted stock awards was $33,000 and $23,000 for the nine months and three months ended , September 30, 2006, respectively. The total income tax benefit recognized in the income statement for restricted stock awards was $14,000 and $10,000 for the nine months and three months ended September 30, 2006, respectively. At September 30, 2006, the total compensation cost related to nonvested restricted common stock but not yet recognized was $438,000. The Company expect s a forfeiture rate of 25% on non-vested restricted common stock due to the five year cliff vesting. Restricted common stock compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average remaining period of approximately 4.75 years and will be adjusted for subsequent changes in estimated forfeitures. The intrinsic value of restricted common stock outstanding was $587,000 as of September 30, 2006.

The 156,839 options that are not currently exercisable as of September 30, 2006 are expected to vest, on a weighted-average basis, over the next 2.69 years, and the Company is expected to recognize $627,000 of compensation costs related to these
options as they vest. The Company expects a forfeiture rate of 6.3% on nonvested options.
Earnings Per Common Share
Basic Earnings per Share (EPS) is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average common shares outstanding. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income by weighted average common shares outstanding including the dilutive effects of potential common shares (e.g. stock options and restricted common stock). Earnings per share data for 2005 has been restated to give effect to the 5% stock dividend declared and paid in the first quarter of 2006.
The following tables reconcile the numerator and denominator of the Basic and Diluted earnings per share computations:

Comprehensive Income
Accounting principles generally require that recognized revenue, expenses, gains and losses be included in net income. Although certain changes in assets and liabilities, such as unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities, are reported as a separate component of the equity section of the balance sheet, such items, along with net income, are components of comprehensive income.

Retirement Plans
The Company has supplemental retirement plans covering directors and key executives. These plans are non-qualified defined benefit plans and the Company’s obligations under the plans are unsecured and unfunded. The Company has purchased insurance on the lives of the participants and intends to use the cash values of these policies to pay the retirement obligations.
The following table sets forth the net periodic benefit cost recognized for the plans:

During the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, the Company paid out as benefits $29,000 and $20,000, respectively, to participants under the plans. For the year ending December 31, 2006, the Company expects to pay out as benefits $40,000 to participants under the plans.
Borrowings
On September 5, 2006 the Company secured $60 million ($30 million fixed rate of 5.12% payable September 5, 2008 and $30 million fixed rate of 5.07% payable September 8, 2009) in fixed rate borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank in an effort to improve the Company’s liquidity position as well as limit its exposure to a further decline in the net interest margin.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
On November 10, 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 123R-3,Transition Election Related to Accounting for Tax Effects of Share-Based Payment Awards ("FSP 123R-3"). The alternative transition method includes simplified methods to establish the beginning balance of the additional paid-in capital pool ("APIC pool") related to the tax effects of employee share-based compensation, and to determine the subsequent impact on the APIC pool and consolidated statements of cash flows of the tax effects of employee share-based compensation awards that are outstanding upon adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004),Share Based Payment,(“SFAS 123R”). We are currently evaluating the available transition alternatives of FSP 123R-3. We do not believe the adoption of FSP 123R-3 will have a material impact on our fina ncial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109. FIN 48 requires that realization of an uncertain income tax position be "more likely than not" before it can be recognized in the financial statements. Further, FIN 48 prescribes the benefit to be recorded in the financial statements as the amount most likely to be realized assuming a review by tax authorities having all relevant information and applying current conventions. FIN 48 also clarifies the financial statement classification of tax-related penalties and interest and sets forth new disclosures regarding unrecognized tax benefits. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Management of the Company is currently evaluating the requirements of FIN 48 and the impact this inte rpretation may have on its financial statements.
On September 13, 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission published Staff Accounting Bulleting No. 108Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements. The interpretations in this Staff Accounting Bulleting are being issued to address diversity in practice in quantifying financial statement misstatements and the potential under current practice to build up improper amounts on the balance sheet. This guidance will apply to the first fiscal year ending after November 15, 2006 and early application in interim periods is encouraged. We do not believe the adoption of SAB 108 will have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140.” SFAS No. 156 requires all separately recognized servicing assets and liabilities to be initially measured at fair value, if practicable. Following the initial measurement at fair value, the Company is permitted to choose to either subsequently measure servicing assets at fair value and report changes in fair value in earnings, or amortize the servicing assets in proportion to and over the period of estimated net servicing income or loss and periodically assess for impairment. We do not believe the adoption of SFAS 156 will have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158,“Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R).” This standard requires the Company to recognize in its statement of condition an asset for a plan’s overfunded status or a liability for a plan’s underfunded status. SFAS No. 158 also requires that the Company measure the Plans’ assets and obligations that determine its funded status as of the end of the fiscal year and to recognize those changes in the year in which the changes occur as a component of other comprehensive income, net of taxes. We do not believe the adoption of SFAS 158 will have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In September 2006, the FASB ratified the consensus reached by the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) on Issue No. 06-5, “Accounting for Purchases of Life Insurance — Determining the Amount That Could Be Realized in Accordance with FASB Technical Bulletin No. 85-4, Accounting for Purchases of Life Insurance.” FASB Technical Bulletin No. 85-4 requires that the amount that could be realized under the insurance contract as of the date of the statement of financial position should be reported as an asset. Since the issuance of FASB Technical Bulletin No. 85-4, there has been diversity in practice in the calculation of the amount that could be realized under insurance contracts. EITF Issue No. 06-5, which is effective January 1, 2007, concludes that the Company should consider any additional amounts (e.g., cash stabilization reserves and deferred acquisition cost taxes) included in the contractual terms of the insurance policy other than the cash surrender value in determining the amount that could be realized in accordance with FASB Technical Bulletin No. 85-4. The adoption of EITF Issue No. 06-5 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations and financial condition.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts previously reported in the 2005 financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2006 presentation. These reclassifications did not affect previously reported net income or total shareholders’ equity.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
As North Bay Bancorp (the "Company") has not commenced any business operations independent of The Vintage Bank (the "Bank"), the following discussion pertains primarily to the Bank. Average balances, including such balances used in calculating certain financial ratios, are generally comprised of average daily balances for the Company.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The Company's discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations are based upon the Company's consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, income taxes, estimated fair value of securities available for sale, supplemental retirement plan liabilities and contingencies. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis f or making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. (See Note 1 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).
The following discussion and analysis is designed to provide a better understanding of the significant changes and trends related to the Company’s and the Bank's financial condition, operating results, asset and liability management, liquidity and capital resources and should be read in conjunction with the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company and the Notes thereto.
Financial Condition
Total assets increased 3.0% to $648,984,000 as of September 30, 2006 compared to $630,043,000 at September 30, 2005. Loans, net of the allowance for loan losses, grew 19.4% to $469,781,000 at September 30, 2006, up from $393,294,000 as of September 30, 2005. Commercial and industrial loans increased 49.8% to $118,725,000 while commercial real estate loans grew 12.4% to $278,789,000. Construction loans decreased 29.8% to $20,494,000 and consumer loans increased 8.6% to $41,948,000.
Total assets increased 7.7% to $648,984,000 as of September 30, 2006 compared to $602,697,000 at December 31, 2005. Loans, net of the allowance for loan losses, grew 14.6% to $469,781,000 at September 30, 2006, up from $409,956,000 as of December 31, 2005. Commercial and industrial loans increased 37.2% to $118,725,000 while commercial real estate loans grew 11.6% to $278,789,000. Construction loans decreased 37.1% to $20,494,000 and consumer loans increased 7.9% to $41,948,000.
Asset quality remained excellent at September 30, 2006 with no non-performing loans. The allowance for loan and lease losses was $5,064,000 or 1.06% of loans outstanding, compared to $4,832,000 or 1.21% of loans outstanding at September 30, 2005. Net charge-offs were $48,000 in the third quarter of 2006 and $60,000 for the first nine months of 2006 as compared to $9,000 for the third quarter 2005 and $19,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005.
Total deposits as of September 30, 2006 decreased 13.6% to $472,502,000 from September 30, 2005. Time deposits decreased 2.8% to $82,314,000 compared to $84,710,000 a year ago. Money market accounts decreased 31.2% to $102,439,000 from $148,938,000 a year earlier. Non-interest bearing checking accounts decreased 7.0% to $154,533,000 as compared to $166,239,000 a year ago. Other borrowings have increased $85,000,000 or 447% from $19,000,000 at September 30, 2005 to $104,000,000 at September 30, 2006. The decrease in interest bearing deposit account balances at September 30, 2006 compared with September 30, 2005 is the result of pricing considerations to maintain the net interest margin during a period of rising interest rates. Management decided to raise interest bearing deposit account rates at a slower pace than competing financial institutions. This resulted in a run-off of interest bearing deposit accounts. As a result the Bank increased wholesale borrowings to fund loan growth. Management secured $60,000,000 of fixed rate long term borrowings with the Federal Home Loan Bank in an effort to stabilize the Bank’s liquidity position and limit the Bank’s exposure to a further decline in the net interest margin. In the third quarter of 2006, management increased rates paid on deposits to stabilize the deposit run-off.
20
Total deposits as of September 30, 2006 decreased 8.5% to $472,502,000 from December 31, 2005. Time deposits decreased 2.1% to $82,314,000 compared to $84,053,000 at December 31, 2005. Money market accounts decreased 20.4% to $102,439,000 from $128,684,000 at December 31, 2005. Non-interest bearing checking accounts decreased .5% to $154,533,000 as compared to $155,320,000 at December 31, 2005. Other borrowings have increased $85,000,000 or 447% from $19,000,000 at December 31, 2005 to $104,000,000 at September 30, 2006. The decrease in deposits and the increase in other borrowings are for the reasons previously described above.
Book value per share increased 6.7% to $13.44 at September 30, 2006 from $12.60 at September 30, 2005.
Results of Operations
The Company had net income of $1,876,000, or $0.44 per diluted share, for the three months ended September 30, 2006. These results represent a 2.3% increase in diluted earnings per share from the $0.43 reported for the three months ended September 30, 2005 on earnings of $1,817,000. The improvement in results from the year-ago quarter was due to a $300,000 (100%) decrease in the provision for loan losses to zero dollars, a $212,000 (20.6%) increase in noninterest income to $1,239,000 and a $200,000 (17.7%) decrease in the provision for income taxes to $931,000. These contributing factors were partially offset by a $476,000 (6.4%) decrease in net interest income and a $177,000 (3.4%) increase in noninterest expense to $5,388,000. The provision for loan losses decreased as management did not increase funding of the allowance for loan losses during the third quarter of 2006 based upon its evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. Management believes that the allowance for loan losses is adequately funded at September 30, 2006. Classified assets have decreased 24% from June 30, 2006 to September 30, 2006.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, the Company had earnings of $5,242,000, or $1.22 per diluted share. These results represent a 6.1% increase in diluted earnings per share from the $1.15 reported for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 on earnings of $4,865,000. The improvement in results from the comparable period in the prior year was due to a $621,000 (2.9%) increase in net interest income to $21,651,000, a $515,000 (72.0%) decrease in the provision for loan losses to $200,000, a $474,000 (15.8%) increase in noninterest income to $3,479,000 and a $291,000 (9.6%) decrease in the provision for income taxes to $2,745,000. These contributing factors were partially offset by a $1,524,000 (9.9%) increase in noninterest expense to $16,943,000. The provision for loan losses decreased for the reasons previously described above.

Net interest income represents the amount by which interest earned on earning assets (primarily loans and investments) exceeds the amount of interest paid on deposits and borrowings. Net interest income is a function of volume, interest rates and level of non-accrual loans. Non-refundable loan origination fees are deferred and amortized into income over the life of the loan. See Volume /Rate charts in the following section “Summary of Changes in Interest Income and Expense due to Changes in Average Asset & Liability Balances and Yields Earned & Rates Paid” of this report.
Net interest income before the provision for loan losses was $6,956,000 and $7,432,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and September 30, 2005, respectively. These results equate to a 6.4% decrease in net interest income for the third quarter of 2006 compared to the third quarter of 2005. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively,
21
net interest income before the provision for loan losses was $21,651,000 and $21,030,000. These results equate to a 3.0% increase in net interest income.
Three Months Ended September 30, 2006 Compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2005
Interest and Fee Income
Interest and fee income for the third quarter of 2006 increased $1,054,000 (11.9%) from the third quarter of 2005. The increase was the net effect of a $15,291,000 (2.7%) increase in average balances of interest-earning assets to $573,259,000 and a 60 basis point increase in the yield on those average interest-earning assets to 6.93%. The growth in interest-earning assets was comprised of a $59,752,000 (14.8%) increase in average loan balances to $462,964,000, partially funded by a decrease of $48,823,000 (93.4%) in average balances of Federal funds sold to $3,438,000 due to strong loan demand, and decreases in money market deposit accounts. The increase in the yield on average interest-earning assets was mainly due to the overall increase in market rates during the third quarter of 2006 compared with the third quarter of 2005.
Interest Expense
Interest expense increased $1,530,000 (108.1%) to $2,945,000 in the third quarter of 2006 compared to the year-ago quarter. The average balance of interest-bearing liabilities increased $23,247,000 (5.8%) to $424,935,000 in the third quarter compared to the year-ago quarter. Average interest-bearing deposits decreased $58,030,000 (15.6%) and average other borrowings increased $78,446,000 (413%). Increases in average loans and decreases in average deposits have led to increases in average other borrowings. The average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities in the quarter ended September 30, 2006 increased 135 basis points to 2.75% compared to the year-ago quarter. This increase was the result of general market interest rate increases and the increased reliance on wholesale funding sources (other borrowings) due to loan growth and decreases in money market deposits.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2006 Compared to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2005
Interest and Fee Income
Interest and fee income for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 increased $3,725,000 (15.1%) from the nine months ended September 30, 2005. The increase was the net effect of a $35,203,000 (6.7%) increase in average balances of interest-earning assets to $560,835,000 and a 53 basis point increase in the yield on those average interest-earning assets to 6.85%. The growth in interest-earning assets was comprised of a $45,910,000 (11.6%) increase in average loan balances to $442,406,000 that was partially offset by a decrease of $29,958,000 (93.1%) in average balances of Federal funds sold to $2,218,000 due to strong loan demand and decreases in money market deposit accounts. The increase in the yield on average interest-earning assets was mainly due to the overall increase in market rates during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2005.

Interest expense increased $3,104,000 (85.3%) to $6,742,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to the same period in the prior year. The average balance of interest-bearing liabilities increased $20,304,000 (5.3%) to $404,901,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to the same period in the prior year. Average interest-bearing deposits decreased $22,632,000 (6.4%) and average other borrowings increased $39,900,000 (210%). Increases in average loans and decreases in average deposits has led to increases in average other borrowings. The average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 increased 97 basis points to 2.23% compared to the year-ago period. This increase was the result of general market interest rate increases and the increased reliance on wholesale funding sources (other borrowings) due to loan growth and decreases in money market deposits.

The net interest margin in the third quarter of 2006 decreased to 4.89% as compared to 5.33% during the third quarter of 2005. A decrease in the net interest spread was offset by an increase in the impact of all other net noninterest-bearing funds. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, the net interest margin decreased to 5.24% as compared to 5.39% during the same period of the prior year. A decrease in the net interest spread was offset by an increase in the impact of all other net noninterest-bearing funds.
Summary of Average Balances, Yields/Rates and Interest Differential
The following tables present, for the periods indicated, information regarding the Company's consolidated average assets, liabilities and shareholders' equity, the amounts of interest income from average interest-earning assets and resulting yields, and the amount of interest expense paid on interest-bearing liabilities. Average loan balances include nonperforming loans. Interest income includes proceeds from loans on nonaccrual loans only to the extent cash payments have been received and applied to interest income.

Provision for Loan Losses
The Company made no provision for loan losses in the third quarter of 2006 versus $300,000 provided for in the third quarter of 2005. The Company provided $200,000 for possible loan losses during the nine months ended 2006 versus $715,000 for the nine months ended 2005. Management’s determination of the amount to provide for loan losses was based upon their evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. Based upon this evaluation, management believes that the allowance for loan losses is adequately funded at September 30, 2006. During the third quarter of 2006, the Company recorded $48,000 of net loan charge-offs compared to $9,000 for the third quarter of 2005. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, the Company recorded $60,000 of net loan charge-offs compared to $19,000 for the first nine months ended September 30, 2005. Classified assets at September 30, 2006 decreased 24% from June 3 0, 2006.

The increases in both periods is primarily due to increases in bank owned life insurance income and other non-interest income. The $126,000 gain on sale of SBA loans during the second quarter of 2006 also increased the nine month period total non-interest income. Management intends to continue the practice of selling the guaranteed portion of SBA loans.

Noninterest expense for the third quarter of 2006 increased $177,000 (3.4%) to $5,388,000 from $5,211,000 in the third quarter of 2005. The $306,000 (11.1%) increase in salaries and related benefits expense was due to new additions and changes to the senior management team, staffing increases in the risk management, compliance and internal audit functions and $142,000 of stock-based compensation expense recorded in the third quarter of 2006 in accordance with SFAS 123R. Other expenses during the third quarter of 2006 include $90,000 in amortization of an investment in an affordable housing bond that generates tax credits.
Noninterest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 increased $1,524,000 (9.9%) to $16,943,000 from $15,419,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2005. The $1,208,000 (14.7%) increase in salaries and related benefits expense was due to new additions and changes to the senior management team, staffing increases in the risk management, compliance and internal audit functions and $328,000 of stock-based compensation expense recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 in accordance with SFAS 123R. Other expenses during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 include $299,000 in amortization of an investment in an affordable housing bond that generates tax credits.

Provision for Income Taxes
The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 was 33.2% and 34.4%, respectively, and reflects a decrease from an effective tax rate of 38.4% for both the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2005, respectively. The lower effective tax rates in 2006 were due to a $2 million investment in an affordable housing bond issueance near year-end 2005 that generates income tax credits for the Company.
Liquidity
The Company's liquidity is determined by the level of assets (such as cash, Federal funds sold, and investments in unpledged marketable securities) that are readily convertible to cash to meet customer withdrawals and credit commitments. Management reviews the Company’s liquidity position on a regular basis to ensure that it is adequate to meet projected loan funding and potential withdrawal of deposits. The Company has a comprehensive Asset/Liability Management and Liquidity Policy which it uses to determine adequate liquidity. As of September 30, 2006, liquid assets were 13% of total assets, compared with 29% as of September 30, 2005, and are within the limits set in the the Company’s liquidity policy. This decrease was due to strong loan growth during a period of decreasing deposit balances. See “Financial Condition” at Item 2 in Management's Discussion and Analysis.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
The Company’s exposure to market risk exists primarily in interest rate risk in the balance sheet. The objective of market risk management is to mitigate an undue adverse impact on earnings and capital arising from changes in interest rates and other market variables. This risk management objective supports the Company’s broad objective of enhancing shareholder value, which encompasses stable earnings growth over time.
The Bank’s Board of Directors, through its Asset & Liability Management Committee (ALCO), approves the ALM Policy, which governs the management of market risk and liquidity. ALCO is responsible for ongoing management of interest rate risk as well as liquidity risk, including formulation of risk management strategies. The Chief Financial Officer is primarily responsible for the implementation of risk management strategies approved by ALCO and for operating management of market risk through the funding and investment activities of the Company.
The Company manages the market risk associated with our asset and liability management activities as described below.
Interest Rate Risk Management
ALCO monitors interest rate risk quarterly through a variety of modeling techniques that are used to quantify the sensitivity of Net Interest Income (NII) and Economic Value of Equity (EVE) to changes in interest rates. In managing interest rate risk, ALCO monitors NII sensitivity over a twelve-month time horizon and in response to a variety of interest rate changes. The Company’s NII policy measure involves a simulation of NII in which the Company estimates the impact that proportional shifts in the yield curve would have on earnings over a twelve-month horizon, given the projected balance sheet profile.
Simulation of NII is the primary tool used to measure the Company’s interest rate risk. The NII simulations use a twelve-month projected balance sheet in order to model the impact of interest rate changes. Assumptions are made to model the future behavior of deposit rates and loan spreads based on management’s outlook and historical experience.
30
At September 30, 2006, the NII simulation showed modest asset-sensitivity to proportional rate shifts. A +200 basis point proportional shift would raise twelve-month NII by 1.81%, while a similar downward shift would reduce it by 2.04%. Continued enhancements to the Company’s interest rate risk modeling may make prior-year comparisons of NII less meaningful.

- 100 | (0.96%) | |
- 200 | (2.04%) | |
- 300 | (2.92%) | |
|
|
In addition to NII, the Company measures the sensitivity of EVE to interest rate shocks. EVE is reviewed and monitored for its compliance with ALCO limits. Consistent with the projected asset-sensitivity of earnings over time, the Company’s EVE shows asset-sensitivity as well.
Management believes that, together, our NII and EVE simulations provide management with a reasonably comprehensive view of the sensitivity of our operating results and value profile to changes in interest rates, at least over the measurement horizon. However, as with any financial model, the underlying assumptions are inherently uncertain and subject to refinement as modeling techniques and theory improve and historical data becomes more readily accessible. Consequently, the simulation models cannot predict with certainty how rising or falling interest rates might impact net interest income. Actual and simulated results will differ to the extent there are differences between actual and assumed interest rate changes, balance sheet volumes, and management strategies, among other factors.
In general, the core balance sheet is relatively asset sensitive, meaning that investments and loans generally re-price more quickly than core deposits. In managing the interest sensitivity of the balance sheet, the Company uses the investment securities portfolio and wholesale borrowings as the primary tools to adjust the risk profile.
At September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the securities available for sale portfolio totaled $94.7 million and $126.5 million, respectively. The estimated effective duration of the available for sale portfolio was 2.8 at September 30, 2006, compared to 3.0 at December 31, 2005. Effective duration is a measure of price sensitivity of a bond portfolio to immediate parallel shifts in interest rates. An effective duration of 2.8 suggests an expected price decline of approximately 2.8 percent for an immediate one percent increase in interest rates.

ITEM 1A.
RISK FACTORS
There have been no material changes from the risk factors described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005. However, at September 30, 2006 the Company’s loan-to-deposit ratio is 99.4%. This exceeds the Company’s internal policy limit of 90% which could effect the ability to fund loans in the future and possibly impact net interest margin and/or net income.
