PACIFIC MERCANTILE BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

1. Nature of Business

Pacific Mercantile Bancorp (“PMBC”) is a bank holding company which, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Pacific Mercantile Bank (the “Bank”) is engaged in the commercial banking business in Southern California. PMBC is registered as a one bank holding company under the United States Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended. The Bank is chartered by the California Department of Financial Institutions (the “DFI”) and is a member of and subject to regulation by the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco (“FRB”). In addition, the deposit accounts of the Bank’s customers are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to the maximum amount allowed by law. PMBC and the Bank, together, shall sometimes be referred to in this report as the “Company” or as “we”, “us” or “our”.

Substantially all of our operations are conducted and substantially all our assets are owned by the Bank, which accounts for substantially all of our consolidated revenues and expenses, and earnings. The Bank provides a full range of banking services to small and medium-size businesses, professionals and the general public in Orange, Los Angeles, San Bernardino and San Diego Counties of California and is subject to competition from other financial institutions and from financial services organizations conducting operations in those same markets.

During 2002, we organized three business trusts, under the names Pacific Mercantile Capital Trust I, PMB Capital Trust I, and PMB Statutory Trust III, respectively, to facilitate our issuance of $5.155 million, $5.155 million and $7.217 million, respectively, principal amount of junior subordinated debentures, all with maturity dates in 2032. In October 2004, we organized PMB Capital Trust III to facilitate our issuance of an additional $10 million principal amount of junior subordinated debentures, with a maturity date in 2034. The financial statements of these trusts are not included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In July 2007, we redeemed the $5.155 million principal amount of junior subordinated debentures issued in conjunction with the organization of Pacific Mercantile Capital Trust I and in August 2007, we redeemed the $5.155 million principal amount of junior subordinated debentures issued in conjunction with the organization of PMB Capital Trust I. Those trusts were dissolved as a result of those redemptions.

2. Significant Accounting Policies, Recent Accounting Pronouncements, Commitments and Contingencies

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all footnotes that would be required for a full presentation of financial position, results of operations, changes in cash flows and comprehensive income (loss) in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). However, these interim financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments and accruals) which, in the opinion of our management, are necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position and our results of operations for the interim periods presented.

These unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a basis consistent with prior periods, and should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2009, and the notes thereto, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Our consolidated financial position at June 30, 2010, and the consolidated results of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2010, are not necessarily indicative of what our financial position will be as of December 31, 2010, or of the results of our operations that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2010.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of certain of our assets, liabilities, and contingencies at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of our revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. For the fiscal periods covered by this Report, those estimates related primarily to our determinations of the allowance for loan losses, the fair value of securities available for sale, loans held for sale and the valuation of deferred tax assets. If circumstances or financial trends on which those estimates were based were to change in the future or there were to occur any currently unanticipated events affecting the amounts of those estimates, our future financial position or results of operations could differ, possibly materially, from those expected at the current time.

2. Significant Accounting Policies, Recent Accounting Pronouncements, Commitments and Contingencies (Cont.-)

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an update to Accounting Standard Codification 105-10, “Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”. This standard establishes the FASB Accounting Standard Codification (“Codification” or “ASC”) as the source of authoritative U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC companies. The Codification supersedes all then-existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. FASB Statement No. 162,The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, which became effective on November 13, 2008, identified the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in preparing the financial statements in conformity with GAAP. Statement 162 arranged these sources of GAAP in a hierarchy for users to apply accordingly. The Codification, and all of its content, will carry the same level of authority, effectively superseding Statement 162. In other words, the GAAP hierarchy is modified to include only two levels of GAAP: authoritative and non-authoritative. As a result, this Statement replaces Statement 162 to indicate this change to the GAAP hierarchy.

In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-06 (“ASU 2010-06”), an update of ASC 820-10,Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, which now requires new disclosures that expand on activity included in the three fair value levels, as defined in ASC 820-10. ASU 2010-06 also provides amendments to ASC 820-10 in that a reporting entity should provide fair value measurement disclosures for each class of assets and liabilities, and provide disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. Those disclosures are required for fair value measurements that fall in either Level 2 or Level 3. New disclosures and clarifications of existing disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for certain Level 3 roll forward disclosures, which are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010. We adopted the former disclosures and clarifications (those effective after December 15, 2009) as of January 1, 2010, and they did not have a material effect on our financial statements.

In February 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-09, Subsequent Events (Topic 855), Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements (“Topic 855”), which states an entity that is an SEC filer is not required to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated. This change alleviates potential conflicts between Subtopic 855-10 and SEC requirements.

Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments

To meet the financing needs of our customers in the normal course of business, we are a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated financial statements. At June 30, 2010, loan commitments and letters of credit totaled $180 million and $11 million, respectively. The contractual amount of a credit-related financial instrument such as a commitment to extend credit, a credit-card arrangement or a letter of credit represents the amounts of potential accounting loss should the commitment be fully drawn upon, the customer were to default, and the value of any existing collateral securing the customer’s payment obligation become worthless.

As a result, we use the same credit policies in making commitments to extend credit and conditional obligations as we do for on-balance sheet instruments. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates; however, since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. We evaluate each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis, using the same credit underwriting standards that are employed in making commercial loans. The amount of collateral obtained, if any, upon an extension of credit is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer. Collateral held varies, but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, real estate and income-producing commercial properties.

Information regarding this law suit is contained under the caption “—Commitments and Contingencies—Legal Proceeding” in Note 17 of Item 8 of Part II of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 (the “2009 10-K”) filed on April 1, 2010 with the SEC.

We also are subject to legal actions that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of our business. Currently there are no such pending legal proceedings that we believe will become material to our financial condition or results of operations.

3. Income (Loss) Per Share

Basic income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted income (loss) per share reflects the potential dilution that would occur if stock options or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into shares of common stock which would share in our earnings. For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2010, (i) stock options to purchase 1,002,842 shares of our common stock and (ii) 1,425,283 shares of our common stock issuable on conversion of our Series A Preferred Stock, were not considered in computing diluted income (loss) per common share because they were antidilutive. For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009 stock options to purchase 1,151,744 shares were not considered in computing diluted earnings per common shares because they were antidilutive.

The following table illustrates our computation of basic and diluted loss for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009.

	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,

4. Stock-Based Employee Compensation Plans

At the Company’s 2010 Annual Meeting, the shareholders approved a 2010 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2010 Plan”), which provides for the grant of equity incentives, consisting of options, restricted shares and stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) to officers, other key employees and directors The 2010 Plan set aside, for the grant or awarding of such equity incentives, 400,000 share of our common stock, plus an additional 158,211 shares of common stock that was equal to the total of the shares that were then available for the grant of new equity incentives under our shareholder-approved 2008 and 2004 Plans (the “Previously Approved Plans”). At the same time, those 158,211 shares ceased to be issuable under the Previously Approved Plans. At June 30, 2010, there were a total of 701,713 shares available for the grant or awarding of equity incentives under the 2010 Plan.

Options to purchase a total of 1,002,842 shares of common stock granted under the Previously Approved Plans were outstanding at June 30, 2010. Those Plans had provided that, if any of the outstanding options were to expire or otherwise terminate, rather than being exercised, the shares that had been subject to those options would become available for the grant of new options under those Plans. However, the 2010 Plan provides that if any of the outstanding options granted under the Previously Approved Plans expire or are terminated for any reason, then, the number of shares that would become available

for grants or awards of equity incentives under the 2010 Plan will be increased by an equivalent number of shares, instead of becoming available for new equity incentive grants under the Previous Plans. Accordingly, the maximum number of shares that could be issued pursuant to equity incentives under the 2010 Plan is 1,704,555 shares.

Stock options entitle the recipients to purchase common stock at a price per share that may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the Company’s shares on the respective grant dates of the stock options. Restricted shares may be granted at such purchase prices and on such other terms, including restrictions and Company repurchase rights, as are fixed by the Compensation Committee at the time rights to purchase such restricted shares are granted. SARs entitle the recipient to receive a cash payment in an amount equal to the difference between the fair market value of the Company’s shares on the date of vesting and a “base price” (which, in most cases, will be equal to fair market value of the Company’s shares on the date of grant), subject to the right of the Company to make such payment in shares of its common stock at their then fair market value. Options, restricted shares and SARs may vest immediately or in installments over various periods generally ranging up to five years, subject to the recipient’s continued employment or service or the achievement of specified performance goals, as determined by the Compensation Committee at the time it grants or awards the options, the restricted shares or the SARs. Stock options and SARs may be granted for terms of up to 10 years after the date of grant, but will terminate sooner upon or shortly after a termination of service occurring prior to the expiration of the term of the option or SAR. The Company will become entitled to repurchase any unvested restricted shares, at the same price that was paid for the shares by the recipient, in the event of a termination of employment or service of the holder of such shares or if any performance goals specified in the award are not satisfied. To date, the Company has not granted any restricted shares or any SARs.

Under ASC 718-10, we (and other public companies in the United States) are required to recognize, in our financial statements, the fair value of the options or any restricted shares that we grant as compensation cost over their respective service periods.

The fair values of the options that were outstanding at June 30, 2010 under the 2010 Plan or the Previously Approved Plans were estimated as of their respective dates of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. For additional information regarding the Company’s stock based compensation plans, refer to Note 12—”Stock-Based Employee Compensation Plans” in the Notes to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements included in its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

The following table summarizes the weighted average assumptions used for grants in the following periods:

6. Income Taxes

We record as a “deferred tax asset” on our balance sheet an amount equal to the tax credit and tax loss carryforwards and tax deductions (“tax benefits”) that we believe will be available to us to offset or reduce the amounts of our income taxes in future periods. Under applicable federal and state income tax laws and regulations, such tax benefits will expire if not used within specified periods of time. Accordingly, the ability to fully use our deferred tax asset depends on the amount of taxable income that we generate during those time periods. At least once each year, or more frequently, if warranted, we make estimates of future taxable income that we believe we are likely to generate during those future periods. If we conclude, on the basis of those estimates and the amount of the tax benefits available to us, that it is more likely than not that we will be able to fully utilize those tax benefits prior to their expiration, we recognize the deferred tax asset in full on our balance sheet. On the other hand, if we conclude on the basis of those estimates and the amount of the tax benefits available to us that it has become more likely than not that we will be unable to utilize those tax benefits in full prior to their expiration, then, we would establish (or increase any existing) valuation allowance to reduce the deferred tax asset on our balance sheet to the amount which we believe we are more likely than not to be able to utilize. Such a reduction is implemented by recognizing a non-cash charge that would have the effect of increasing the provision, or reducing any credit, for income taxes that we would otherwise have recorded in our statements of operations. The determination of whether and the extent to which we will be able to utilize our deferred tax asset involves significant management judgments and assumptions that are subject to period to period changes as a result of changes in tax laws, changes in market or economic conditions that could affect our operating results or variances between our actual operating results and our projected operating results, as wells as other factors.

6. Income Taxes (Cont.-)

During the fourth quarter of 2008, we concluded that it was more likely than not that we would not generate sufficient taxable income in the foreseeable future to be able to realize our deferred tax asset in its entirety. That conclusion was based on our consideration of the relative weight of the available evidence, including the rapid deterioration in market and economic conditions, and the uncertainties regarding the duration of and how our future operating results would be affected by those conditions. As a result, we recorded a $3.0 million valuation allowance against our deferred tax asset for the portion of the tax benefits which, based on our assessment, it had become more likely than not that we would be unable to utilize prior to their expiration.

We conducted an assessment of the realizability of our deferred tax assets at June 30, 2010 and based on that and due, in part to the continued weaknesses in the economy and financial markets, we concluded that it had become more likely than not that we would be unable to utilize our remaining deferred tax assets prior to their expiration and, therefore, we recorded an additional valuation allowance against our net deferred tax asset in the amount of $10.7 million by means of a non-cash charge to income tax expense in the quarter ended June 30, 2010, in the amount of $9.0 million.

If, in the future, market and economic conditions and our financial performance were to improve and, as a result, it were to become more likely than not that we will be able to utilize a portion of the deferred tax assets with respect to which we had established that valuation allowance, then we would be able to reverse that portion of the valuation allowance, which would then become available to reduce income tax expense that we would otherwise have to record in future periods.

The Company files income tax returns with the U.S. federal government and the state of California. As of June 30, and January 1, 2010, we were subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service with respect to our U.S. federal tax returns and the Franchise Tax Board for California, for the 2005 to 2008 tax years. We do not believe there will be any material adverse changes in our unrecognized tax benefits over the next 12 months.

Our policy is to recognize interest and penalties accrued on any unrecognized tax benefits as a component of tax expense. We did not have any accrued interest or penalties associated with any unrecognized tax benefits, and no interest expense was recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009. Our effective tax rate differs from the federal statutory rate primarily due to tax free income on municipal bonds and certain non-deductible expenses recognized for financial reporting purposes and state taxes.

7. Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Hierarchy. Under ASC 820-10, we group assets and liabilities at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value. These levels are:

Level 1 Valuation is based upon quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.

Level 2 Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market.

Level 3 Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use at least one significant assumption not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques include use of option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques.

7. Fair Value Measurements (Cont.-)

The following is a description of valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities recorded at fair value.

Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

Investment Securities Available for Sale. Investment securities available-for-sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value measurement is based upon quoted prices, if available. If quoted prices are not available, fair values are measured using independent pricing models or other model-based valuation techniques such as the present value of future cash flows, adjusted for the security’s credit rating, prepayment assumptions and other factors such as credit loss assumptions. Level 1 investments securities include those traded on an active exchange, such as the New York Stock Exchange, U.S. Treasury securities that are traded by dealers or brokers in active over-the-counter markets and money market funds. Level 2 investment securities include mortgage-backed securities issued by government sponsored entities, municipal bonds and corporate debt securities. Securities classified as Level 3 include asset-backed securities in less liquid markets.

The following table shows the recorded amounts of assets (in thousands of dollars) measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

	At June 30, 2010 (in thousands)
	Total		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Assets at Fair Value:
Investment securities available for sale
Mortgage backed securities issued by U.S. agencies	$	77,007	$	—	$	77,007	$	—
Municipal securities		9,505		—		9,505		—
Collateralized mortgage obligations issued by non agency		3,583		—		2,568		1,015

Total assets at fair value on a recurring basis	$	93,334	$	2,320	$	89,080	$	1,934

The changes in Level 3 assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized in the following table:

	Investment Securities Available for Sale

(1) Amount reported as an other-than-temporary impairment loss in the consolidated statements of operations.

Assets Recorded at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

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 or that were recognized at a fair value below cost at the end of the period.

7. Fair Value Measurements (Cont.-)

Loans Held for Sale. Mortgage loans held for sale are reported at fair value if, on an aggregate basis, the fair value of the loans is less than cost. In determining whether the fair value of loans held for sale is less than cost when quoted market prices are not available, the Company may consider outstanding investor commitments, discounted cash flow analysis with market assumptions or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. Such loans are classified within either level 2 or level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Where assumptions are made using significant unobservable inputs, such loans held for sale are classified as level 3.

Impaired Loans. ASC 820-10 applies to loans measured for impairment in accordance with ASC 310-10,Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan, including impaired loans measured at an observable market price (if available), and at the fair value of the loan’s collateral (if the loan is collateral dependent). The fair value of an impaired loan 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 for possible losses represent loans for which the fair value of the expected repayments or collateral exceed the recorded investments in such loans. When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price or a current appraised value, we record the impaired loan at Level 2. When an appraised value is not available or management determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value and there is no observable market price, we record the impaired loan at Level 3.

Foreclosed Assets. Foreclosed assets are adjusted to fair value, less estimated costs to sell, at the time the loans are transferred to foreclosed assets. Subsequently, foreclosed assets are carried at the lower of carrying value or fair value less estimated costs to sell. Fair value is determined based upon independent market prices, appraised values of the collateral or management’s estimation of the value of the collateral. When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price or a current appraised value, we record the foreclosed asset at Level 2. When an appraised value is not available or management determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value and there is no observable market price, we record the foreclosed asset at Level 3.

Information regarding assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis is set forth in the table below.

	At June 30, 2010 (in thousands)
	Total		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Assets at Fair Value:
Impaired loans	$	54,905	$	—	$	34,531	$	20,374
Loans held for sale		21,972		—		—		21,972
Foreclosed assets		19,701		—		19,701		—
Total	$	96,578	$	—	$	54,232	$	42,346

There were no significant transfers in or out of level 3 measurements for nonrecurring items during the six months ended June 30, 2010.

We have elected to use fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. Securities available for sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Additionally, from time to time, we may be required to record at fair value other assets on a nonrecurring basis, such as loans held for investment and certain other assets. These nonrecurring fair value adjustments typically involve application of lower of cost or market accounting or write-downs of individual assets.

Fair value estimates are made at a discrete point in time based on relevant market information and other information about the financial instruments. Because no active market exists for a significant portion of our financial instruments, fair value estimates are based in large part on judgments we make primarily regarding current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments, prepayment rates, and future expected loss experience. These estimates are subjective in nature and invariably involve some inherent uncertainties. Additionally unexpected changes in events or circumstances can occur that could require us to make changes to our assumptions and which, in turn, could significantly affect and require us to make changes to our previous estimates of fair value.

7. Fair Value Measurements (Cont.-)

In addition, the fair value estimates are based on existing on and off-balance sheet financial instruments without attempting to estimate the value of existing and anticipated future customer relationships and the value of assets and liabilities that are not considered financial instruments, such as premises and equipment and other real estate owned.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments.

Cash and Cash Equivalents. The fair value of cash and cash equivalents approximates its carrying value.

Interest-Bearing Deposits with Financial Institutions. The fair values of interest-bearing deposits maturing within ninety days approximate their carrying values.

Investment Securities Available for Sale. Investment securities available-for-sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value measurement is based upon quoted prices, if available. If quoted prices are not available, fair values are measured using independent pricing models or other model-based valuation techniques such as the present value of future cash flows, adjusted for the security’s credit rating, prepayment assumptions and other factors such as credit loss assumptions. Level 1 securities include those traded on an active exchange, such as the New York Stock Exchange, U.S. Treasury securities that are traded by dealers or brokers in active over-the-counter markets and money market funds. Level 2 securities include mortgage-backed securities issued by government sponsored entities, municipal bonds and corporate debt securities. Securities classified as level 3 include asset-backed securities in less liquid markets.

Federal Home Loan Bank and Federal Reserve Bank Stock. The Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank (the “FHLB”) and the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco (the “FRB”). As members, we are required to own stock of the FHLB and the FRB, the amount of which is based primarily on the level of our borrowings from those institutions. We also have the right to acquire additional shares of stock in either or both of the FHLB and the FRB; however, to date, we have not done so. The fair values of that stock are equal to their respective carrying amounts, are classified as restricted securities and are periodically evaluated for impairment based on our assessment of the ultimate recoverability of our investments in that stock. Any cash or stock dividends paid to us on such stock are reported as income.

Loans Held for Sale.Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or market value. The fair value of loans held for sale is based on what secondary markets are currently offering for portfolios with similar characteristics. As such, the Company classifies loans subjected to nonrecurring fair value adjustments as Level 3. There were no fair value adjustments related to the loans held for sale at June 30, 2010.

Loans. The fair value for loans with variable interest rates is the carrying amount. The fair value of fixed rate loans is derived by calculating the discounted value of future cash flows expected to be received by the various homogeneous categories of loans. All loans have been adjusted to reflect changes in credit risk.

Impaired Loans. ASC 820-10 applies to loans measured for impairment in accordance with ASC 310-10, “Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan”, including impaired loans measured at an observable market price (if available), and at the fair value of the loan’s collateral (if the loan is collateral dependent) less selling cost. The fair value of an impaired loan 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 for possible losses represent loans for which the fair value of the expected repayments or collateral exceed the recorded investments in such loans. When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price or a current appraised value, we record the impaired loan at nonrecurring Level 2. When an appraised value is not available, or management determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value and there is no observable market price or a discounted cash flow has been used to determine the fair value, we record the impaired loan at nonrecurring Level 3.

Foreclosed Assets. Foreclose assets are adjusted to the lower of cost or fair value, less estimated costs to sell, at the time the loans are transferred to foreclosed assets. Subsequently, foreclosed assets are carried at the lower of carrying value or fair value, less estimated costs to sell. Fair value is determined on the basis of independent market prices, appraised values of the collateral or management’s estimation of the value of the collateral. When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price or a current appraised value, we record the foreclosed asset at nonrecurring Level 2. When an appraised value is not available or management determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value and there is no observable market price, we record the foreclosed asset at nonrecurring Level 3.

Deposits. The fair value of demand deposits, savings deposits, and money market deposits is defined as the amounts payable on demand at quarter-end. The fair value of fixed maturity certificates of deposit is estimated based on the discounted value of the future cash flows expected to be paid on the deposits.

Borrowings. The fair value of borrowings is the carrying amount for those borrowings that mature on a daily basis. The fair value of term borrowings is derived by calculating the discounted value of future cash flows expected to be paid out by the Company.

Junior subordinated debentures. The fair value of the junior subordinated debentures is determined based on an analysis prepared by management, which considers the company’s own credit risk. These securities are variable rate in nature and reprice quarterly.

Commitments to Extend Credit and Standby Letters of Credit. The fair value of commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit, are based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties’ credit standing. These fees were not material in amount either at June 30, 2010 or December 31, 2009.

The following table sets forth the estimated fair values and related carrying amounts of our financial instruments as June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.

The table below shows, as of June 30, 2010, the gross unrealized losses and fair values of our investments, aggregated by investment category and length of time that the individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position.

Impairment exists when the fair value of the security is less than its cost. The company performs a quarterly assessment of its securities that have an unrealized loss to determine whether the decline in fair value of these securities below their cost is other-than-temporary.

The Company adopted ASC 321-10 effective April 1, 2009, and recognizes other-than-temporary impairment for its available-for-sale debt securities. In accordance with ASC 321-10, when there are credit losses associated with an impaired debt security and the Company does not have the intent to sell the security and it is more likely than not that it will not have to sell the security before recovery of its cost basis, the Company will separate the amount of impairment into the amount that is credit related and the amount related to non-credit factors. The credit-related impairment is recognized in net gain on sale of securities on the consolidated statements of operations. The non-credit-related impairment is recognized and reflected in other comprehensive income.

Through the impairment assessment process, the company determined that the investments discussed below were other-than-temporarily impaired at June 30, 2010. The Company recorded impairment credit losses in earnings on available for sale securities of $200,000 and $234,000, respectively, for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2010.

Certain of the OTTI amounts were related to credit losses and recognized into earnings, with the remainder recognized into other comprehensive loss. The table below presents the other-than-temporary impairments (in thousands of dollars) where a portion related to other factors was recognized in other comprehensive loss for the six months ended June 30, 2010:

	Gross Other than Temporary Impairments			Temporary Impairments Included in Other Comprehensive Loss			Net Other- Than Temporary Impairments Included in Earnings

Non-Agency CMO

We have identified one non-agency collateralized mortgage obligation security (CUSIP 94982HAK3) that required an assessment for OTTI at June 30, 2010. This CMO is a “Super Senior Support” bond, which was originated in 2005 and issued by Wells Fargo & Company, was rated AAA by Standard & Poor’s and Aa1 by Moody’s, and had a credit support of 2.5% of the total balance at issuance. As of June 30, 2010, the security was rated BBB and Caa3 by Standard and Poor’s and Moody’s, respectively, has an approximate amortized cost of $1.1 million and an approximate fair value of $1.0 million, for a loss of $86,000. The principal collateral for this security is a pool of one-to-four family, fully amortizing residential first mortgage loans that have a fixed payment for approximately five years, after which they bear interest at variable rates with annual resets. Credit support at June 30, 2010 was approximately 5.4% and delinquencies 60 days and over totaled approximately 8.8%. Factors considered in the impairment include the rating change of the security, the current level of subordination from other CMO classes, anticipated prepayment rates, cumulative default rates and the loss severity given a default. We recognized $87,000 impairment loss with respect to this CMO, constituting a credit loss, in earnings for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The remaining loss of $86,000 on this security was recognized through other comprehensive loss. This non credit portion of OTTI is attributed to external market conditions, primarily the lack of liquidity in these securities and risks of potential additional declines in the housing market.

Asset Backed Securities

The Company has one asset backed security in its investment securities available for sale portfolio. The security is a multi-class, cash flow collateralized bond obligation backed by a pool of trust preferred securities issued by a diversified pool of 56 issuers consisting of 45 U.S. depository institutions and eleven insurance companies at the time of issuance in November 2007. The total size of this security at issuance was $363 million. The security that the Company owns (CUSIP 74042CAE8) is the mezzanine class B piece that floats with 3 month libor +60 basis points and had a rating of Aa2/AA by Moody’s and Fitch at the time of issuance. The Company purchased $3.0 million face value at a price of 95.21 for $2,856,420 in November 2007.

As of June 30, 2010 the book value of this security was $2.5 million with a fair value of $919,000 for an approximate unrealized loss of $1.6 million. Currently, the security has a Caa1 rating from Moody’s and BB rating from Fitch and has experienced $37.5 million in defaults (13% of total current collateral) and $39 million in payment deferrals (14% of total current collateral) from issuance to June 30, 2010. The security did not pay its scheduled second quarter interest payment. The Company is not currently accruing interest on this security. The Company estimates that the security could experience another $71.5 million in defaults before it would not receive all of its contractual cash flows. This analysis is based on the following assumptions: future default rates of 2.3%, prepayment rates of 1% until maturity, and 15% recovery of future defaults.

Impairment Losses on OTTI Securities

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2010		2009		2010		2009
	(In thousands)				(In thousands)

Non Agency CMO		87		—		87		—
Total impairment loss recognized in earnings	$	200	$	—	$	234	$	—

As a part of our OTTI assessment, we consider information available about the performance of the underlying collateral, including credit enhancements, default rates, loss severities, delinquency rates, vintage, as well as rating agency reports and historical prepayment speeds. As a result, significant judgments are required in connection with our analysis to determine the expected cash flows for impaired securities. In determining the component of the OTTI related to credit losses, we compare the amortized cost basis of each other-than-temporarily impaired security to the present value of its expected cash flows, discounted using its effective interest rate implicit in the security at the date of acquisition.

Our assessment of our ability to continue to hold impaired investment securities along with the evaluation of their future performance, as indicated by the criteria discussed above, provide the basis for us to conclude that the remainder of our impaired securities are not other-than-temporarily impaired. In assessing whether it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell any impaired security before its anticipated recovery, which may be at their maturity, we consider the significance of each investment, the amount of impairment, as well as the Company’s liquidity position and the impact on the Company’s capital position. As a result of its analyses, the Company determined at June 30, 2010 that the unrealized losses on its securities portfolio on which impairments have not been recognized are temporary.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Introduction

Pacific Mercantile Bancorp is a bank holding company that owns all of the stock of Pacific Mercantile Bank (the “Bank”), which is a commercial bank that provides a full range of banking services to small and medium-size businesses and to professionals and the general public in Orange, Los Angeles, San Bernardino and San Diego counties, in Southern California. Substantially all of our operations are conducted and substantially all of our assets are owned by the Bank, which accounts for substantially all of our consolidated revenues, expenses and operating income.

The following discussion presents information about (i) our consolidated results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and comparisons of those results with the results of operations for the corresponding three and six month periods of 2009, and (ii) our consolidated financial condition, liquidity and capital resources at June 30, 2010. The information in the following discussion should be read in conjunction with our interim consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included elsewhere in this Report.

Forward-Looking Information

Statements contained in this Report that are not historical facts or that discuss our expectations, beliefs or views regarding our future operations or future financial performance, or financial or other trends in our business or in the markets in which we operate, constitute “forward-looking statements” 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. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. Often, they include words such as “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “estimate,” “project,” “forecast” or words of similar meaning, or future or conditional verbs such as “will,” “would,” “should,” “could,” or “may.” The information contained in such forward-looking statements is based on current information and on assumptions that we make about future events over which we do not have control. In addition, our business and the markets in which we operate are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties. Unexpected future events and such risks and uncertainties could cause our financial condition or actual operating results in the future to differ significantly from our expected financial condition or operating results that are set forth in the forward looking statements contained in this Report and could, therefore, also affect the price performance of our shares. Certain of those risks and uncertainties are discussed below in this Item 2 of this Report, in Item 1A, entitled “Risk Factors” contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 (our “2009 10-K”), and in Item 1A, entitled “Risk Factors” in Part II of this Report below. Therefore, you are urged to read not only the information contained in this section of this Report, but also the risk factors that are discussed in our 2009 10-K and in this report in conjunction with your review of the following discussion regarding our results of operations for the three and six months ended, and our financial condition at, June 30, 2010.

Due to those risks and uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements contained in this Report, which speak only as of the date of this Report, or to make predictions about future performance based solely on historical financial performance. We also disclaim any obligation to update forward-looking statements contained in this Report or in our 2009 10-K, except as may otherwise be required by law or Nasdaq rules.

As the table above indicates, from a positive standpoint:

• Our net interest income in the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 increased by $3.8 million, or 86%, and $6.9 million, or nearly 70%, respectively, as compared to the same respective periods of 2009, due primarily to reductions in interest expense of $3.3 million, or 41%, and $6.2 million, or 38.5%, in the three and six months ended June 30, 2010.

• We were able to reduce the provisions we made for loan losses by $2.0 million, or 30.2%, to $4.6 million and by $4.2 million, or 42.2%, to $5.8 million, respectively, in the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, primarily as a result of reductions in net loan charge-offs of $258,000 and $2.2 million, respectively, in the three and six months ended June 30, 2010.

• Noninterest income increased by $1.0 million, or 158%, in the quarter ended June 30, 2010, due primarily to revenues generated from residential mortgage loan originations and sales; although for the six months ended June 30, 2010, non-interest income declined by $65,000, as a decline in gains on sales of securities held for sale more than offset the increase in mortgage banking revenues in that six month period.

• Although we incurred pre-tax losses of $3.0 million and $2.8 million, respectively, in the three and six month periods of 2010, those pre-tax losses declined by $6.4 million, or nearly 68%, and by $8.9 million, or 76%, respectively in the three and six month ended June 30, 2010, from pre-tax losses of $9.4 million and $11.7 million in the same respective periods of 2009.

However, notwithstanding these improvements in our operating results, we incurred net losses of $12.0 million for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, as compared to net losses of $4.5 million and $6.7 million in the same respective periods of 2009 due to the recognition of a non-cash charge of $9.0 million to the provision for income taxes in this year’s second quarter to increase the valuation allowance for our deferred tax asset by $10.7 million, as a result of a determination that we made that it was no longer probable that we would be able to utilize the deferred tax asset to reduce our income taxes in the future. See “Critical Accounting Policies” and “Results of Operations—IncomeTax Provision (Benefit)” below in this Section of this Report.

Due to accumulated but unpaid dividends on our Series A Convertible 10% Cumulative Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Shares”) of $221,000 and $429,000, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, the net losses allocable to common shareholders were $12.2 million, or $1.17 per diluted common share, and $12.3 million, or $1.18 per diluted common share, respectively, in the three and six months ended June 30, 2010.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and general practices in the banking industry. Certain of those accounting policies are considered critical accounting policies, because they require us to make assumptions and judgments regarding circumstances or trends that could affect the value of those assets, such as, for example, assumptions regarding economic conditions or trends that could impact our ability to fully collect our loans or ultimately realize the carrying value of certain of our other assets, such as securities available for sale and our deferred tax assets. Those assumptions and judgments are made based on current information available to us regarding those economic conditions or trends or other circumstances impacting our financial results. If adverse changes were to occur in the events, trends or other circumstances on which our assumptions or judgments had been based, or other unanticipated events were to happen that might affect our operating results, under GAAP it could become necessary for us to reduce the carrying values of the affected assets on our balance sheet. In addition, because reductions in the carrying value of assets are sometime effectuated by or require charges to income, such reductions also may have the effect of reducing our income or causing us to incur losses.

Under our accounting policies, we record as a “deferred tax asset” on our balance sheet an amount equal to the tax credit and tax loss carryforwards and tax deductions (collectively, “tax benefits”) that we believe will be available to us to offset or reduce the amounts of our income taxes in future periods. Under applicable federal and state income tax laws and regulations, such tax benefits will expire if not used within specified periods of time. Accordingly, the ability to fully use our deferred tax asset depends on the amount of taxable income that we generate during those time periods.

At least once each year, or more frequently, if warranted, we make estimates of future taxable income that we believe we are likely to generate during those future periods. If we conclude, on the basis of those estimates and the amount of the tax benefits available to us, that it is more likely than not that we will be able to fully utilize those tax benefits prior to their expiration, we recognize the deferred tax asset in full on our balance sheet. On the other hand, if we conclude that it has become more likely than not that we will be unable to fully utilize those tax benefits prior to their expiration, then, we would establish (or increase any existing) valuation allowance to reduce the deferred tax asset on our balance sheet to the amount which we believe we are more likely than not to be able to utilize. Such a reduction is implemented by recognizing a non-cash charge that would have the effect of increasing the provision, or reducing any credit, for income taxes that we would otherwise have recorded in our statement of operations. The determination of whether and the extent to which we will be able to utilize our deferred tax asset involves significant management judgments and assumptions that are subject to period to period changes as a result of changes in tax laws, changes in market or economic conditions that could affect our operating results or variances between our actual operating results and our projected operating results, as wells as other factors.

Due to the continued sluggishness of the economy and market and economic conditions which indicated that the hoped-for economic recovery will be weaker than previously anticipated, we conducted an assessment of the realizability of our deferred tax asset at June 30, 2010. Based on that assessment, we concluded that it had become more likely than not that we would be unable to utilize our remaining deferred tax assets prior to their expiration and, therefore, we increased our existing valuation allowance against our deferred tax asset by means of a non-cash charge to income tax expense of $9.0 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2010.

Additional information regarding our critical accounting policies is contained in Note 6 of our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements contained elsewhere in this Report and in Item 6, entitled MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS — “Critical Accounting Policies” and “Allowance for Loan Losses” and in Note 2—”Significant Accounting Policies” in the Notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 8, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 and readers of this Report are urged to read Note 6 to our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements in this Report and those sections of that Annual Report.

Results of Operations

Net Interest Income

One of the principal determinants of a bank’s income is its net interest income, which is the difference between (i) the interest that a bank earns on loans, investment securities and other interest-earning assets, on the one hand, and (ii) its interest expense, which consists primarily of the interest it must pay to attract and retain deposits and the interest that it pays on borrowings and other interest-bearing liabilities, on the other hand. As a general rule, all other things being equal, the greater the difference or “spread” between the amount of our interest income and the amount of our interest expense, the greater will be our net income; whereas, a decline in that difference or “spread” will generally result in a decline in our net income.

25

A bank’s interest income and interest expense are, in turn, affected by a number of factors, some of which are outside of its control, including national and local economic conditions and the monetary policies of the Federal Reserve Board which affect interest rates, competition in the market place for loans and deposits, the demand for loans and the ability of borrowers to meet their loan payment obligations. Net interest income, when expressed as a percentage of total average interest earning assets, is a banking organization’s “net interest margin.”

The following table sets forth our interest income, interest expense and net interest income (in thousands of dollars) and our net interest margin for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively:

	Three Months Ended June 30,								Six Months Ended June 30,
	Amount			Amount			Amount		Amount			Amount			Percent Change
	2010			2009			2010 vs. 2009		2010			2009			2010 vs. 2009
Interest income	$	12,931		$	12,421		4.1	%	$	26,590		$	25,935		2.5	%
Interest expense		4,713			8,005		(41.1	)%		9,925			16,126		(38.5	)%
Net interest income	$	8,218		$	4,416		86.1	%	$	16,665		$	9,809		69.9	%
Net interest margin		2.87	%		1.50	%				2.92	%		1.70	%

As the above table indicates, our net interest income increased by $3.8 million, or 86.1%, in the second quarter of 2010, and by $6.9 million, or 69.9%, in the six months ended June 30, 2010, due primarily to decreases in interest expense of $3.3 million, or 41.1%, and $6.2 million, or 38.5%, respectively, and increases in interest income of $510,000, or 4.1%, and $655,000, or 2.5%, respectively, in the three and six months period ended June 30, 2010. The declines in interest expense were primarily attributable to decreases in market rates of interest, which enabled us to reduce the interest we paid on time deposits and resulted in a lowering of the rates at which we pay interest on our borrowings. Also contributing to the decrease in interest expense was a change in the mix of deposits to a higher proportion of lower-cost core deposits and a lower proportion of higher-cost time deposits.

Due primarily to the increase in net interest income, our net interest margin increased by 137 basis points to 2.87%, and 122 basis points to 2.92%, respectively, in the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, from 1.50% and 1.70%, respectively, in the same three and six month periods of 2009. In the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, (i) the yield on interest-earning assets increased to 4.52% and 4.65%, respectively, from 4.21% and 4.50% in the same respective periods of 2009 and the average interest rate paid on interest bearing liabilities decreased to 2.01% and 2.13%, respectively, from 3.33% and 3.39% in the same respective periods of 2009.

The above table indicates that the increases in our net interest income of $3.8 million and $6.9 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively, were primarily attributable to increases in rate variances of $4.9 million and $6.7 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively. Those increases in rate variance were primarily the result of (i) decreases in interest rates paid on interest bearing liabilities of 132 basis points and 126 basis points, respectively, and (ii) increases in the average yield on our loan portfolio of 25 and 18 basis points, respectively, in the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, in each case as compared to the same respective periods of 2009.

Provision for Loan Losses

The failure of borrowers to repay their loans is an inherent risk of the banking business. Therefore, like other banks and lending institutions, we follow the practice of maintaining an allowance to provide for loan losses that occur from time to time as an incidental part of the banking business. When it is determined that the payment in full of a loan has become unlikely, the carrying value of the loan is reduced to what management believes is its realizable value. This reduction, which is referred to as a loan “charge-off,” or “write-down” is charged against the allowance for loan losses.

The amount of the allowance for loan losses is increased periodically (i) to replenish the allowance after it has been reduced due to loan charge-offs, (ii) to reflect changes in the volume of outstanding loans, and (iii) to take account of increases in the risk of potential future loan losses due to a deterioration in the condition of borrowers or in the value of property securing non-performing loans or adverse changes in economic conditions. Increases in the allowance are made through a charge, recorded as an expense in our statement of operations, referred to as the “provision for loan losses.” Recoveries of loans previously charged-off are added back to the allowance and, therefore, have the effect of increasing the allowance and reducing the amount of the provision that might otherwise have had to be made to replenish or increase the allowance. See “—Financial Condition—Nonperforming Loans, Other Non-Performing Assets and the Allowance for Loan Losses” below in this Section of this Report.

29

We employ economic models that are based on bank regulatory guidelines, industry standards and our own historical loan loss experience, as well as a number of more subjective qualitative factors, to determine both the sufficiency of the allowance for loan losses and the amount of the provisions that we need to make for potential loan losses. However, those determinations involve judgments about trends in current economic conditions and other events or circumstances that can affect the ability of borrowers to meet their loan obligations to us and a weighting among the quantitative and qualitative factors we consider in determining the amount of the allowance. Moreover, the duration and anticipated effects of prevailing economic conditions or trends can be uncertain and can be affected by number of risks and circumstances that are outside of our ability to control. See the discussion below in this Section under the caption “—Financial Condition—Nonperforming Loans, Other Nonperforming Assets and the Allowance for Loan Losses”. If changes in economic or market conditions or unexpected subsequent events were to occur, or if changes were made to bank regulatory guidelines or industry standards that are used to assess the sufficiency of the allowance for loan losses, it could become necessary for us to incur additional, and possibly significant, charges to increase the allowance for loan losses, which would have the effect of reducing our income or causing us to incur losses.

In addition, the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco (the “FRB” or “Reserve Bank”) and the California Department of Financial Institutions (the “DFI”), as an integral part of their examination processes, periodically review the adequacy of our allowance for loan losses. These agencies may require us to make additional provisions for possible loan losses, over and above the provisions that we have already made, the effect of which would be to reduce our income or increase any losses we might incur.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, we made provisions of $4.6 million and $5.8 million, respectively, for loan losses, as compared to $6.6 million and $10.1 million in the respective corresponding periods of 2009. Those decreases were due primarily to an 8.3% reduction in net loan charge-offs, to $2.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2010, down from $2.4 million in the same three months ended 2009, and a 45.1% reduction in net loan charge-offs, to $2.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010, down from $5.1 million in the same six months ended 2009.

At June 30, 2010, the allowance for loan losses totaled $23.3 million, or 3.00% of the loans then outstanding which, despite the reduction in the provision made for loan losses in the six months ended June 30, 2010, represented increases, both in absolute dollars and as a percentage of loans outstanding, from $20.3 million, or 2.44%, of loans outstanding at December 31, 2009, and $20.4 million, or 2.46%, of the loans outstanding at June 30, 2009. That increase, at June 30, 2010, in the allowance for loan losses, both in absolute dollars and as a percentage of loans outstanding, was primarily attributable to (i) the additions made to the allowance for loan losses in the six months ended June 30, 2010, (ii) a reduction in loan charge-offs in the six months ended June 30, 2010, as compared to the first and second six months of 2009, and (iii) a reduction in total amount of loans outstanding at June 30, 2010, as compared to the total loans outstanding at December 31, 2009 and June 30, 2009, respectively.

Noninterest Income

The following table identifies the amounts (in thousands of dollars) of, and sets forth the percentage changes in, the components of noninterest income in the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, as compared to the same period of 2009.

	Three Months Ended June 30,							Six Months Ended June 30,
	Amounts					Percent Change		Amounts					Percent Change
	2010			2009		2010 vs. 2009		2010			2009		2010 vs. 2009
Service fees on deposits and other banking services	$	313		$	377	(17.0	)%	$	652		$	749	(13.0	)%
Mortgage banking (including net gains on sales of loans held for sale)		1,061			67	N/M			1,630			67	N/M
Net gains on sales of securities available for sale		198			4	N/M			403			1,888	(78.7	)%
Net gain (loss) on sale of other real estate owned		(59	)		—	N/M			(59	)		2	N/M
Other than temporary impairment of securities		(200	)		—	N/M			(234	)		—	N/M
Other		392			212	84.9	%		658			409	60.9	%
Total noninterest income	$	1,705		$	660	158.3	%	$	3,050		$	3,115	(2.1	)%

As the table above indicates, the increase in noninterest income in the three months ended June 30, 2010, as compared to the same period of 2009, was primarily attributable to $1.0 million in revenues generated by the origination and

30

sales of residential mortgage loans by our new mortgage banking division. In the six months ended June 30, 2010, noninterest income declined by $65,000, or 2.1%, as compared to the same period of 2009, primarily as a result of a $1.5 million, or 78.7%, decrease in net gains on sales of securities available for sale and $234,000 of other-than-temporary impairments of securities, which was largely, but not entirely, offset by an increase of nearly $1.6 million in mortgage banking revenues.

Noninterest Expense

The following table compares the amounts (in thousands of dollars) of the principal components of noninterest expense in the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009.

	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,
	Amounts				Percent Change		Amounts				Percent Change
	2010		2009		2010 vs. 2009		2010		2009		2010 vs. 2009
Salaries and employee benefits	$	3,707	$	3,727	(0.5	)%	$	8,044	$	7,385	8.9	%
Occupancy expense		666		675	(1.3	)%		1,347		1,356	(0.7	)%
Equipment and depreciation		302		290	4.1	%		657		556	18.2	%
Data processing		178		223	(20.2	)%		358		386	(7.3	)%
Professional fees		1,067		876	21.8	%		1,980		1,401	41.3	%
Customer expense		79		92	(14.1	)%		180		188	(4.3	)%
FDIC insurance		808		926	(12.7	)%		1,266		1,250	1.3	%
Other real estate owned		557		232	140.1	%		891		519	71.7	%
Other operating expenses(1)		982		837	17.3	%		1,990		1,490	33.6	%
Total	$	8,346	$	7,878	5.9	%	$	16,713	$	14,531	15.0	%

(1) Other operating expenses consist primarily of telephone, stationery and office supplies, regulatory expenses, customer expense, investor relations expenses, insurance premiums, postage and correspondent banking fees.

In the three months ended June 30, 2010, noninterest expenses increased by $468,000, or 6.0%, compared to the same three months of 2009. That increase was primarily the result of (i) a $325,000, or 140.1% increase in the valuation allowance for other real estate owned, and (ii) a $191,000, or 21.8%, increase in professional fees incurred in connection with the collection and foreclosures of non-performing loans and the carrying costs of the properties acquired by foreclosure, partially offset by a $118,000, or 12.7%, decrease in FDIC insurance premiums.

In the six months ended June 30, 2010 noninterest expense increased by $2.2 million, or 15%, as compared to the same six months of 2009, primarily as a result of (i) an increase in employee compensation expense of $659,000, or 8.9%, due to the addition, subsequent to June 30, 2009, of personnel for our new mortgage banking business which commenced operations in the second quarter of 2009, (ii) an increase of $579,000, or 41.3%, in professional fees incurred in connection with the collection and foreclosures of non-performing loans and in the carrying costs of the properties acquired by foreclosure, and (iii) a $372,000, or 71.7%, increase in the valuation allowance for such real properties.

A measure of our ability to control noninterest expense is our efficiency ratio, which is the ratio of noninterest expense to net revenue (net interest income plus noninterest income). As a general rule, a lower efficiency ratio indicates an ability to generate increased revenue without a commensurate increase in the staffing and equipment and third party services and, therefore, would be indicative of greater operational efficiencies. Notwithstanding the increases in noninterest expense in the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, our efficiency ratios improved to 84% and 85%, respectively, in those periods, from 155% and 112% for the corresponding three and six month periods of 2009, due primarily to the increases of $3.8 million and $6.9 million, respectively, in our net interest income in the three and six months ended June 30, 2010.

Expense Reduction Initiatives. In February 2010, we initiated a number of cost-cutting measures that are designed to improve the efficiency of our operations and reduce our noninterest expense. Those measures included a work force reduction, a freeze on salaries, elimination of a bonus program for 2010, and suspension of Company 401-K plan matching contributions. Our objective is to reduce noninterest expense by at least 8% in 2010. However, there is no assurance that we will achieve that objective, because the amount of our noninterest expense can be affected by events or conditions that are outside of our control, such as the costs of managing non-performing loans and foreclosing and reselling other real estate owned and the amount of the FDIC insurance premiums that we are required to pay.

Income Tax Provision (Benefit)

We recorded provisions for income tax expense of $9.0 million and $9.1 million, respectively, in the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, as compared to income tax benefits of $4.8 million and $5.0 million, respectively, in the three and six months ended June 30, 2009. Those increases in the income tax expense were primarily attributable to our recognition of a $9.0 million non-cash charge recorded in the quarter ended June 30, 2010 to increase the valuation allowance established for the deferred tax asset on our balance sheet due to a determination that it had become more likely, than not, that we would be unable to utilize that deferred tax asset to offset income tax expense in future periods. See Note 6 to our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements above in Item 1 above in this Report and “Critical Accounting Policies” above in this Item 2 of this Report for additional information regarding our deferred tax asset and the non-cash charge recognized to increase the related valuation allowance in the second quarter of 2010.

Asset/Liability Management

The primary objective of asset/liability management is to reduce our exposure to interest rate fluctuations, which can affect our net interest margins and, therefore, our net interest income and net earnings. We seek to achieve this objective by matching interest rate sensitive assets and liabilities, and maintaining the maturities of and repricing these assets and liabilities in response to the changes in the interest rate environment. Generally, if rate sensitive assets exceed rate sensitive liabilities, net interest income will be positively impacted during a rising interest rate environment and negatively impacted during a declining interest rate environment. When rate sensitive liabilities exceed rate sensitive assets, net interest income generally will be positively impacted during a declining interest rate environment and negatively impacted during a rising interest rate environment. However, interest rates for different asset and liability products offered by depository institutions respond differently to changes in the interest rate environment. As a result, the relationship or “gap” between interest sensitive assets and interest sensitive liabilities is only a general indicator of interest rate sensitivity and how our net interest income might be affected by changing rates of interest.

For example, rates on certain assets or liabilities typically lag behind changes in market rates of interest. Additionally, prepayments of loans and securities available for sale, and early withdrawals of certificates of deposit, can cause the interest sensitivities to vary.

32

The table below sets forth information concerning our rate sensitive assets and liabilities at June 30, 2010. The assets and liabilities are classified by the earlier of maturity or repricing dates in accordance with their contractual terms. As described above, certain shortcomings are inherent in the method of analysis presented in this table.

At June 30, 2010, our rate sensitive balance sheet was shown to be in a negative twelve-month gap position. This would imply that our net interest margin would decrease in the short-term if interest rates were to rise and would increase in the short-term if interest rates were to fall. However, as noted above, the extent to which our net interest margin will be impacted by changes in prevailing interests rates will depend on a number of factors, including how quickly rate sensitive assets and liabilities react to interest rate changes, the mix of our interest earning assets (loans versus other lower yielding interest earning assets, such as securities or federal funds sold) and the mix of our interest bearing deposits (between, for example, lower interest core deposits and higher cost time certificates of deposit) and our other interest-bearing liabilities.

Financial Condition

Assets

Our consolidated assets totaled $1.148 billion at June 30, 2010, which represents a $52 million decrease from our total consolidated assets of $1.201 billion at December 31, 2009. That decrease was primarily attributable to a $60 million reduction in the total loans outstanding (net of allowances) between December 31, 2009 and June 30, 2010, partially offset by an increase in cash and cash equivalents during the six months ended June 30, 2010.

The following table sets forth the composition of our interest-earning assets (in thousands of dollars) at:

	June 30, 2010		December 31, 2009

Loans Held for Sale

We commenced a new mortgage banking business during the second quarter of 2009 to originate, primarily in Southern California, residential real estate mortgage loans that qualify for resale into the secondary mortgage markets. Our mortgage originations have been primarily for the financing of purchases of residential property and, to a lesser extent, refinancing of existing residential mortgage loans. In addition to conventional mortgage loans, we offer loan programs for low to moderate income families that qualify for mortgage assistance, such as the FHLB Wish Program, Homepath-financing on FNMA repossessed homes, Southern California home Financing Authority and various mortgage assistance programs in counties and cities within our branch network. The following table reflects the quarterly activity, in thousands of dollars, for the mortgage operations of the Bank.

	Quarter ended March 31,  2010		Quarter ended June 30,  2010		Year-to-date
Single family mortgage loans funded	$	37,691	$	61,759	$	99,450
Single family mortgage loan sales		26,680		54,649		81,329
Balance End of Period		16,468		21,972		N/A

Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or estimated fair value in the aggregate. Net unrealized losses on loans held for sale, if any, would be recognized through a valuation allowance established by a charge to income. As of June 30, 2010, the loans held for sale included $20.2 million of loans with interest rate lock commitments providing an effective hedge to interest rates and $1.9 million of loans pending investor commitments.

Commercial loans are loans to businesses to finance capital purchases or improvements, or to provide cash flow for operations. Commercial real estate and residential mortgage loans are loans secured by trust deeds on real property, including commercial property and single family and multi-family residences. Construction and land development loans are interim loans to finance specific construction projects. Consumer loans consist primarily of installment loans to consumers.

The following table sets forth, in thousands of dollars, the maturity distribution of our loan portfolio (excluding consumer and residential mortgage loans) at June 30, 2010:

Non-Performing Loans, Other Non-Performing Assets and Allowance for Loan Losses

Non-Performing Loans. Non-performing loans consist of (i) loans on non-accrual status, which include loans that have been restructured, but for which there has not been a history of past performance on debt service in accordance with the contractual terms of such loans, as restructured, and (ii) loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing interest. Generally, the accrual of interest is discontinued on a loan when principal or interest become more than 90 days past due, unless management believes the loan is adequately collateralized and the loan is in the process of collection. However, in certain

35

instances, we may place a particular loan on non-accrual status earlier, depending on the individual circumstances involved in loan’s delinquency. When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, previously accrued but unpaid interest is reversed against current income. Subsequent collections of cash on such loans are applied as principal reductions when received, except when the ultimate collectability of principal is probable, in which case interest payments are credited to income. Non-accrual loans may be restored to accrual status when principal and interest become current and full repayment is expected. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis for impaired loans not meeting the criteria for non-accrual.

Other Non-Performing Assets. Other non-performing assets consist of real properties that have been acquired on or in lieu of foreclosure of non-performing loans (which are commonly referred to as “other real estate owned” or “OREO”).

The following table sets forth information regarding nonaccrual loans and other real estate owned (which, together, comprise our nonperforming assets), and restructured loans, at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009:

	At June 30, 2010		At December 31, 2009
Nonaccrual loans:
Commercial loans	$	13,532	$	17,150
Commercial real estate		22,834		20,779
Residential real estate		7,671		1,358
Construction and land development		9,428		10,162
Consumer loans		233		—
Total nonaccrual loans		53,698		49,449
Other real estate owned (OREO):
Construction and land development		15,050		10,712
Commercial real estate		4,651		—
Total other real estate owned		19,701		10,712
Total nonperforming assets	$	73,399	$	60,161
Restructured loans:
Accruing loans	$	1,207	$	1,243
Nonaccruing loans (included in nonaccrual loans above)		18,039		20,114
Total Restructured Loans	$	19,246	$	21,357

As the above table indicates, other real estate owned increased by $9.0 million, or 83.9%, from $10.7 million to $19.7 million, and nonaccrual loans increased by $4.3 million, or 8.6%, from $49.4 million to $53.7 million, during the six months ended June 30, 2010. The increase in other real estate owned was attributable to our acquisition, by or in lieu of foreclosure, of four real properties that had collateralized loans which had previously been classified as nonaccrual loans. The $4.3 million increase in nonaccrual loans was due primarily to the filing by one of our customers of a Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceeding and we expect that, during the next three to six months, we will be acquiring, by or in lieu of foreclosure, some of the real properties that had collateralized those loans. We have established specific reserves to provide for any losses that we may incur on the real properties that were classified as other real estate owned and on the loans that were classified as nonaccrual loans during the six months ended June 30, 2010.

Loans that have been restructured remain in a non-accrual status unless and until there has been six months of satisfactory performance by the borrowers in accordance with the restructured terms of those loans, at which time the loans usually are returned to accrual status.

Information Regarding Impaired Loans. A loan is deemed impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that we will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. At June 30, 2010, there were $53.7 million of loans deemed impaired, as compared to $57.4 million at December 31, 2009. We had an average investment in impaired loans for the three months ended June 30, 2010 of $50.5 million as compared to $52.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2009. The interest that would have been earned during the three months ended June 30, 2010 had the impaired loans remained current in accordance with their original terms was $870,000.

36

The following table sets forth the amount of impaired loans for which there is a related allowance for credit losses determined in accordance with ASC 310-10 and the amount of that allowance and the amount of impaired loans for which there is no allowance for credit losses, at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009:

	(Dollars in thousands)
Impaired Loans	Loans		Reserves for Loan Losses		% of Reserves to Loans		Loans		Reserves for Loan Losses		% of Reserves to Loans
Impaired loans with reserves	$	26,578	$	8,606	32.4	%	$	28,237	$	4,779	16.9	%
Impaired loans without reserves		28,327		—	—			29,152		—	—
Total impaired loans	$	54,905	$	8,606	15.7	%	$	57,389	$	4,779	8.3	%

Allowance for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses (the “Allowance”) at June 30, 2010 was $23.3 million, which represented approximately 3.00% of the loans outstanding at June 30, 2010, as compared to $20.3 million, or 2.44%, of the loans outstanding at December 31, 2009.

The adequacy of the Allowance is determined through periodic evaluations of the loan portfolio and other factors that can reasonably be expected to affect the ability of borrowers to meet their loan obligations. However, those factors are inherently subjective as the evaluation process calls for various significant estimates and assumptions, including, among others, estimates of the amounts and timing of expected future cash flows of borrowers of, and the fair value of collateral on, the impaired loans, estimates of losses on loans determined on the basis of historical loss experience and industry loss factors, and assessments of various qualitative factors. Moreover, those estimates and assessments are subject to risks and uncertainties and future events that are outside of our control, which could cause the performance of our loan portfolio to differ, possibly significantly, from the performance expected on the basis of those estimates and assessments and, therefore, could require us to increase the Allowance in future periods.

The Allowance is first determined by assigning reserve ratios for all loans. All non-accrual loans and other loans classified as “special mention,” “substandard” or “doubtful” (“classified loans” or “classification categories”) are then assigned certain allocations according to type of loans, with greater reserve ratios or percentages applied to loans deemed to be of a higher risk. These ratios are determined based on prior loss history and industry guidelines and loss factors, by loan category, adjusted for current economic factors and trends.

On a quarterly basis, we utilize a classification migration model and individual loan review analysis tools as starting points for determining the adequacy of the Allowance. Our loss migration analysis tracks a number of quarters of loan loss history and industry loss factors to determine historical losses by classification category for each loan type, except certain loans (automobile, mortgage and credit cards), which are analyzed as homogeneous loan pools. These calculated loss factors are then applied to outstanding loan balances. We also conduct individual loan review analysis, as part of the Allowance allocation process, applying specific monitoring policies and procedures in analyzing the existing loan portfolio.

In determining whether and the extent to which we will make adjustments to our loan loss migration model for purposes of determining the Allowance, we also consider a number of qualitative factors that can affect the performance and the collectability of the loans in our loan portfolio. Such qualitative factors include:

• The effects of changes that we may make in our loan policies or underwriting standards on the quality of the loans and the risks in our loan portfolios;

• Trends and changes in local, regional and national economic conditions, as well as changes in industry specific conditions, and any other reasonably foreseeable events that could affect the performance or the collectability of the loans in our loan portfolios;

37

• Material changes that may occur in the mix or in the volume of the loans in our loan portfolios that could alter, whether positively or negatively, the risk profile of those portfolios;

• Changes in management or loan personnel or other circumstances that could, either positively or negatively, impact the application of our loan underwriting standards, the monitoring of nonperforming loans or our loan collection efforts;

• Changes in the concentration of risk in the loan portfolio; and

• External factors that, in addition to economic conditions, can affect the ability of borrowers to meet their loan obligations, such as fires, earthquakes and terrorist attacks.

Determining the effects that these qualitative factors may have on the performance of our loan portfolio requires numerous judgments, assumptions and estimates about conditions, trends and events which may subsequently prove to have been incorrect due to circumstances outside of our control. Moreover, the effects of qualitative factors such as these on the performance of our loan portfolios are often difficult to quantify. As a result, we may sustain loan losses in any particular period that are sizable in relation to the Allowance or that may even exceed the Allowance.

In response to the economic recession, which has resulted in increased and relatively persistent high rates of unemployment, and the credit crisis that has led to a severe tightening in the availability of credit, preventing borrowers from refinancing their loans, we have (i) implemented more stringent loan underwriting standards, (ii) strengthened loan underwriting and approval processes and (iii) added personnel with experience in addressing problem assets and collecting non-performing loans.

38

Although loans past due 90 days or more have been trending downward, particularly since September 30, 2009, we expect that such loans will increase during the remainder of 2010, due primarily to the filing, by one of our customers, of a Chapter 11 bankruptcy in July 2010.

Deposits

Average Balances of and Average Interest Rates Paid on Deposits.

Set forth below are the average amounts (in thousands of dollars) of, and the average rates paid on, deposits in the six months ended June 30, 2010:

	Six Months Ended June 30, 2010
	Average Balance		Average Rate
Noninterest-bearing demand deposits	$	165,751	—
Interest-bearing checking accounts		42,770	0.77	%
Money market and savings deposits		128,326	1.27	%
Time deposits		640,430	2.34	%
Average total deposits	$	977,277	1.73	%

Deposit Totals. Deposits totaled $973 million at June 30, 2010 as compared to $960 million at December 31, 2009 and $932 million at June 30, 2009. The following table compares the mix of our deposits, as between lower cost core deposits and higher cost time deposits, at June 30, 2010, December 31, 2009 and June 30, 2009, respectively:

	At June 30, 2010				At December 31, 2009				At June 30, 2009
	Amounts		Percent of Total Deposits		Amounts		Percent of Total Deposits		Amounts		Percent of Total Deposits
	(Dollars in thousands)
Core deposits
Non-interest bearing demand deposits	$	162,128	16.7	%	$	183,789	19.1	%	$	174,154	18.7	%
Savings and other interest-bearing transaction deposits		175,823	18.1	%		154,968	16.2	%		128,022	13.7	%
Time deposits		635,150	65.2	%		621,681	64.7	%		629,905	67.6	%
Total deposits	$	973,101	100.0	%	$	960,438	100.0	%	$	932,081	100.0	%

As indicated in the above table, non interest bearing demand deposit decreased to 16.7% of total deposits at June 30, 2010, from 18.7% of total deposits at June 30, 2009, while time deposits, which bear higher rates of interest than our core deposits, decreased to 65.2% of total deposits at June 30, 2010 from 67.6% of total deposits at June 30, 2009. Conversely, savings and other interest-bearing transaction deposits increased to 18.1% of total deposits at June 30, 2010, from 13.7% of total deposits at June 30, 2009. That change in the mix of deposits contributed to an improvement in our net interest income and net interest margin in this year’s second quarter as compared to the same quarter of 2009. See “—Results of Operations—Net Interest Income”above in this Section of this Report.

Set forth below, in thousands of dollars, is a maturity schedule of domestic time certificates of deposit outstanding at June 30, 2010:

	At June 30, 2010

Liquidity

We actively manage our liquidity needs to ensure that sufficient funds are available to meet our needs for cash, including to fund new loans to and deposit withdrawals by our customers. We project the future sources and uses of funds and maintain liquid funds for unanticipated events. Our primary sources of cash include cash we have on deposit at other financial institutions, payments on loans, proceeds from the sale or maturity of securities, and from sales of residential mortgage loans, increases in deposits and increases in borrowings principally from the Federal Home Loan Bank. The primary uses of cash include funding new loans and making advances on existing lines of credit, purchasing investments, including securities available for sale, funding new residential mortgage loans, funding deposit withdrawals and paying operating expenses. We maintain funds in overnight federal funds and other short-term investments to provide for short-term liquidity needs. We also have obtained credit lines from the Federal Home Loan Bank and other financial institutions to meet any additional liquidity requirements.

Our liquid assets, which included cash and due from banks, federal funds sold, interest earning deposits with financial institutions and unpledged securities available for sale (excluding Federal Reserve Bank and Federal Home Loan Bank stock) totaled $314 million, which represented 27% of total assets, at June 30, 2010.

Cash Flow Used in Operating Activities. We used net cash flow of $15.4 million from operating activities primarily to fund the origination of $97.7 million of mortgage loans in the six months ended June 30, 2010, partially offset by $82.5 million in proceeds on sales of mortgage loans.

Cash Flow Provided by Investing Activities. In the six months ended June 30, 2010, investing activities provided net cash of $129.5 million, primarily due to loan repayments during that period, and more significantly, $161.5 million in proceeds on sales of securities available for sale.

Cash Flow Used by Financing Activities. In the six months ended June 30, 2010, we used net cash flow of $39.5 million by financing activities due to a net decrease in borrowings of $55 million, partially offset by an increase of $12.7 million in deposits.

Ratio of Loans to Deposits. The relationship between gross loans and total deposits can provide a useful measure of a bank’s liquidity. Since repayment of loans tends to be less predictable than the maturity of investments and other liquid resources, the higher the loan-to-deposit ratio the less liquid are our assets. On the other hand, since we realize greater yields on loans than we do on investments, a lower loan-to-deposit ratio can adversely affect interest income and earnings. As a result, our goal is to achieve a loan-to-deposit ratio that appropriately balances the requirements of liquidity and the need to generate a fair return on our assets. At June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the loan-to-deposit ratios were 80% and 86%, respectively. The reduction in that ratio at June 30, 2010, as compared to December 31, 2009, was primarily attributable to a decline in loan demand from qualified borrowers due, we believe, to the sluggishness of the economic recovery, and the uncertainties about the future prospects for the economy, which has led many prospective borrowers to curtail expansion and their spending and, hence, their need for loans.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

Loan Commitments and Standby Letters of Credit. In order to meet the financing needs of our customers, in the normal course of business we make commitments to extend credit and issue standby commercial letters of credit to or for our customers. At June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, we were committed to fund certain loans, including letters of credit, amounting to approximately $191 million and $184 million, respectively.

Commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and the customer may be required to pay a fee and meet other conditions in order to draw on those commitments or standby letters of credit. We expect, based on historical experience, that many of the commitments will expire without being drawn upon and, therefore, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.

To varying degrees, commitments to extend credit involve elements of credit and interest rate risk for us that are in excess of the amounts recognized in our balance sheets. Our maximum exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the customers to whom such commitments are made could potentially be equal to the amount of those commitments. As a result, before making such a commitment to a customer, we evaluate the customer’s creditworthiness using the same underwriting standards that we would apply if we were approving loans to the customer. In addition, we often

42

require the customer to secure its payment obligations for amounts drawn on such commitments with collateral such as accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, income-producing commercial properties, residential properties and properties under construction. As a consequence, our exposure to credit and interest rate risk on such commitments is not different in character or amount than risks inherent in the outstanding loans in our loan portfolio.

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee a payment obligation of a customer to a third party. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan commitments to customers.

We believe that our cash and cash equivalent resources, together with available borrowings under our credit facilities, will be sufficient to enable us to meet any increases in demand for loans or in the utilization of outstanding loan commitments or standby letters of credit and any increase in deposit withdrawals that might occur in the foreseeable future.

Contractual Obligations

Borrowings. As a source of additional funds that we have used primarily to fund loans and to purchase other interest earning assets, and to provide us with a supplemental source of liquidity, we have obtained long and short term borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank (the “FHLB”). As of June 30, 2010, we had $63 million of outstanding long-term borrowings, with maturities ranging from August 2011 to February 2013, and $23 million of outstanding short-term borrowings, with maturities ranging from November 2010 to December 2010 that we had obtained from the Federal Home Loan Bank. These borrowings, together with securities sold under agreements to repurchase, have a weighted-average annualized interest rate of 1.55%. By comparison, as of December 31, 2009, we had $14 million of outstanding long-term borrowings and $127 million of outstanding short-term borrowings that we had obtained from the Federal Home Loan Bank, which, together with the securities sold under agreements to repurchase, had a weighted-average annualized interest rate of 3.65%.

At June 30, 2010, U.S. agency and mortgage backed securities, U.S. Government agency securities and collateralized mortgage obligations with an aggregate fair market value of $18 million and $132 million of residential mortgage and other real estate secured loans were pledged to secure these Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings, repurchase agreements, local agency deposits, and treasury, tax and loan accounts.

The highest amount of borrowings that were outstanding at any month-end during the six months ended June 30, 2010 consisted of $132 million of borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank and $11.8 million of overnight borrowings in the form of securities sold under repurchase agreements. During 2009, the highest amount of borrowings outstanding at any month-end consisted of $208 million of advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank and $13 million of overnight borrowings in the form of securities sold under repurchase agreements.

Junior Subordinated Debentures. Pursuant to rulings of the Federal Reserve Board, bank holding companies are permitted to issue long term subordinated debt instruments that will, subject to certain conditions, qualify as and, therefore, augment capital for regulatory purposes. At June 30, 2010, we had outstanding approximately $17.5 million principal amount of 30-year junior subordinated floating rate debentures (the “Debentures”). The Debentures are redeemable at our option, without premium or penalty, beginning five years after their respective original issue dates, and require quarterly interest payments. Subject to certain conditions, we have the right, at our discretion, to defer those interest payments for up to five years.

Set forth below is certain information regarding the terms of the Debentures that remained outstanding as of June 30, 2010:

Original Issue Dates	Principal Amount		Interest Rates		Maturity Dates
	(In thousands)
September 2002	$	7,217	LIBOR plus 3.40	%	September 2032
October 2004		10,310	LIBOR plus 2.00	%	October 2034
Total	$	17,527

In July 2009, we entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (an “MOU”) with the FRB and the DFI. The stated objective of the MOU is to enable the Company and the Bank to maintain their financial soundness in what has been and

43

continues to be a very difficult economic and market environment by, among other things, imposing certain restrictions on actions that would have the effect of reducing the Company’s capital or cash flows. Those restrictions include a requirement that the Company obtain prior regulatory approval to pay interest on the Debentures. During the quarter ended June 30, 2010, we were advised by the FRB that it would not approve the payments of interest on the Debentures scheduled to be made on June 24 and July 19, 2010. As a result, we exercised our right, pursuant to the terms of the Debentures, to defer those interest payments. Moreover, we may be required to exercise our deferral right with respect to subsequent interest payments on the Debentures if we are not able to obtain FRB approval to make those interest payments. Since we have the right, under the terms of the Debentures to defer interest payments, the deferral of the June and July 2010 interest payments did not, and deferrals of subsequent interest payments will not, constitute a default under or with respect to the Debentures.

Under the Federal Reserve Board rulings, the borrowings evidenced by the Debentures, which are subordinated to all of our other borrowings that are outstanding or which we may obtain in the future, are eligible (subject to certain dollar limitations) to qualify, and at June 30, 2010, $16.8 million principal amount of those Debentures then outstanding qualified, as Tier I capital for regulatory purposes. See discussion below under the subcaption “—Capital Resources-Regulatory Capital Requirements.”

Investment Policy and Securities Available for Sale

Our investment policy is designed to provide for our liquidity needs and to generate a favorable return on investments without undue interest rate risk, credit risk or asset concentrations.

Our investment policy:

• authorizes us to invest in obligations issued or fully guaranteed by the United States Government, certain federal agency obligations, time deposits issued by federally insured depository institutions, municipal securities and in federal funds sold;

• provides that the weighted average maturities of U.S. Government obligations and federal agency securities cannot exceed 10 years and municipal obligations cannot exceed 25 years;

• provides that time deposits must be placed with federally insured financial institutions, cannot exceed the current federally insured amount in any one institution and may not have a maturity exceeding 60 months, unless that time deposit is matched to a liability instrument issued by the Bank; and

• prohibits engaging in securities trading activities.

Securities available for sale are those that we intend to hold for an indefinite period of time, but which may be sold in response to changes in liquidity needs, changes in interest rates, changes in prepayment risks or other similar factors. Such securities are recorded at fair value. Any unrealized gains and losses are reported as “Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)” rather than included in or deducted from earnings.

The amortized cost, at June 30, 2010, of securities available for sale are shown, in thousands of dollars, in the following table, by contractual maturities and historical prepayments based on the prior three months of principal payments. Expected maturities will differ from contractual maturities and historical prepayments, particularly with respect to collateralized mortgage obligations, because borrowers may react to interest rate market conditions differently than the historical prepayment rates.

We regularly monitor investments for significant declines in fair value. In our judgment, the declines in the fair values of these investments below their amortized costs, as set forth in the table above, are temporary, based on the following factors: (i) those declines are due to interest rate changes and not due to a deterioration in the creditworthiness of the issuers of those investment securities, and (ii) we have the ability to hold those securities until there is a recovery in their values or until their maturity.

Capital Resources

Capital Regulatory Requirements Applicable to Banking Institutions. Under federal banking regulations that apply to all United States based bank holding companies and federally insured banks, the Company (on a consolidated basis) and the Bank (on a stand-alone basis) must meet specific capital adequacy requirements that, for the most part, involve

46

quantitative measures, primarily in terms of the ratios of their capital to their assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items, calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Under those regulations, which are based primarily on those quantitative measures, each bank holding company must meet a minimum capital ratio and each federally insured bank is determined by its primary federal bank regulatory agency to come within one of the following categories.

• well capitalized

• adequately capitalized

• undercapitalized

• significantly undercapitalized; or

• critically undercapitalized

Certain qualitative assessments also are made by a banking institution’s primary federal regulatory agency that could lead the agency to determine that a banking institution should be assigned to a lower capital category than the one indicated by the quantitative measures used to assess the institution’s capital adequacy. At each successive lower capital category, a banking institution is subject to greater operating restrictions and increased regulatory supervision by its federal bank regulatory agency.

The following table sets forth the capital and capital ratios of the Company (on a consolidated basis) and the Bank (on a stand-alone basis) at June 30, 2010, as compared to the respective regulatory requirements applicable to them.

					Applicable Federal Regulatory Requirement
	Actual				Capital Adequacy Purposes				To be Categorized Well Capitalized
	Amount		Ratio		Amount		Ratio		Amount		Ratio
	(Dollars in thousands)
Total Capital to Risk Weighted Assets:
Company	$	95,281	11.1	%	$	68,833	At least 8.0	%		N/A	N/A
Bank		90,682	10.6	%		68,787	At least 8.0	%	$	85,984	At least 10.0	%
Tier 1 Capital to Risk Weighted Assets:
Company	$	84,368	9.8	%	$	34,416	At least 4.0	%		N/A	N/A
Bank		79,776	9.3	%		34,394	At least 4.0	%	$	51,591	At least 6.0	%
Tier 1 Capital to Average Assets:
Company	$	84,368	7.1	%	$	47,394	At least 4.0	%		N/A	N/A
Bank		79,776	6.8	%		47,244	At least 4.0	%	$	59,054	At least 5.0	%

At June 30, 2010 the Bank (on a stand-alone basis) continued to qualify as a well-capitalized institution, and the Company continued to exceed the minimum required capital ratios, under the capital adequacy guidelines described above.

The consolidated total capital and Tier 1 capital of the Company, at June 30, 2010, include an aggregate of $16.8 million principal amount of Junior Subordinated Debentures that we issued in 2002 and 2004. We contributed that amount to the Bank over a six year period ended December 31, 2009, thereby providing it with additional cash to fund the growth of its banking operations and, at the same time, to increase its total capital and Tier 1 capital.

Sale of Series A Convertible 10% Cumulative Preferred Stock. As previously reported in a Current Report filed with the SEC on Form 8-K dated October 6, 2009, we commenced a private placement to a limited number of accredited investors (as defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) of a new issue of Series A Convertible 10% Cumulative Preferred Stock (the “Series A Shares”). Through August 12, 2010, we had sold a total of 126,550 Series A Shares in the private placement, generating gross proceeds to us of $12.655 million.

We are using the net proceeds from the sale of the Series A Shares for general corporate purposes, which has included a $4.5 million capital contribution by us to the Bank in order to increase its equity capital and to provide it with cash to fund additional loans and other interest-earning assets and meet working capital requirements.

47

Dividends cumulate on the Series A Shares at a rate of 10% per annum and, at June 30, 2010, accumulated but unpaid dividends on the Series A Shares totaled $490,000. Each outstanding Series A Share is convertible at the option of its holder, at a conversion price of $7.65 per share into 13.07 shares of our common stock (as the same may be adjusted pursuant to the anti-dilution provisions applicable to the Series A Shares). On the second anniversary of the original issue date of the Series A Shares (the “Automatic Conversion Date”), all Series A Shares then outstanding will automatically convert into common stock at the then conversion price, subject to the payment by the Company, in cash, of the accumulated, but unpaid, dividends on those Series A Shares. If, however, due to regulatory restrictions or any other reasons, the Company is unable, on the Automatic Conversion Date, to pay the accumulated, but unpaid dividends, in cash, then, the Automatic Conversion Date would be extended, and those Shares would remain outstanding and would continue to accumulate dividends, until such time as the Company is able to pay such dividends, in cash. A more detailed description of the rights, preferences and privileges of and restrictions on the Series A Shares is contained in that Current Report on Form 8-K and the foregoing summary is qualified by reference to that description.

Dividend Policy and Share Repurchase Programs. Our Board of Directors has followed the policy of retaining earnings to maintain capital and, thereby, support the growth of the Company’s banking franchise. On occasion, the Board has considered paying cash dividends out of cash generated in excess of those capital requirements and, in February 2008, the Board of Directors declared a one-time cash dividend, in the amount of $0.10 per share of common stock, that was paid on March 14, 2008 to our shareholders.

The Board also authorized share repurchase programs, in June 2005 and in October 2008, when the Board concluded that, at prevailing market prices, the Company’s shares represented an attractive investment opportunity and, therefore, that share repurchases would be a good use of Company funds. No shares were purchased under this program in the six months ended June 30, 2010.

In the first quarter of 2009, the Board of Directors decided that the prudent course of action, in light of the economic recession, was to preserve cash and earnings to enhance the Bank’s capital position and to be in a position to take advantage of improved economic and market conditions in the future. Moreover, the MOU entered into with the FRB and DFI in July 2009 prohibits the payment of cash dividends and share repurchases without the approval of those regulatory agencies. Accordingly, we do not expect to pay dividends or make share purchases at least for the foreseeable future.

48

ITEM 3. MARKET RISK

We are exposed to market risk as a consequence of the normal course of conducting our business activities. The primary market risk to which we are exposed is interest rate risk. Our interest rate risk arises from the instruments, positions and transactions entered into for purposes other than trading. They include loans, securities, deposit liabilities, and short-term borrowings. Interest rate risk occurs when assets and liabilities reprice at different times as market interest rates change. Interest rate risk is managed within an overall asset/liability framework for the Company.

ITEM 4T. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our CEO and CFO, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that any system of controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, as ours are designed to do, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

As required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, in connection with the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our CEO and CFO, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2010. Based on the evaluation, our CEO and CFO have concluded that, as of, June 30, 2010 the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to disclose in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officers, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Management previously disclosed a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting in its annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 and on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2009, relating to our internal controls over the preparation and review of allowance for loan losses. To remediate this material weakness, management has modified its policies and procedures for assessing the adequacy of the Company’s allowance for loan losses to give greater weight to the impact that qualitative factors can reasonably be expected to have on the performance and collectability of loans in the loan portfolio. As a result of these actions, management of the Company believes this material weakness has been satisfactorily remediated as of June 30, 2010.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended June 30, 2010 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting except for the remediation of material weakness disclosed on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 and on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2009, relating to our internal controls over the preparation and review of allowance for loan losses.

PART II

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

James Laliberte, et al. vs. Pacific Mercantile Bank, filed in May 2003 in the California Superior Court for the County of Orange (Case No. 030007092). Information regarding this lawsuit is contained in Item 3 of Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, and there have been no subsequent developments in that case since we filed that Annual Report with the SEC on April 1, 2010.

We also are subject to legal actions that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of our business. Currently there are no such pending legal proceedings that we believe will become material to our financial condition or results of operations.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

There have been no material changes from the risk factors that were disclosed under the caption “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 (the “2009 10-K”), except as follows:

It may become necessary for us to raise additional capital which would dilute the ownership of our existing shareholders or to reduce the volume of our loans and other interest earning assets in order to increase our capital ratios, either of which could adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

Due primarily to concerns of bank regulatory agencies that banking institutions may incur additional losses before there is a sustained economic recovery, bank holding companies and banks are coming under increasing pressure from bank regulatory agencies to raise additional capital, even in cases of banking institutions that are categorized as adequately capitalized or well-capitalized under bank regulatory guidelines. There is no assurance that we will not be required, by our bank regulatory agencies, to sell shares to the public or in private transactions in order to raise additional capital during 2010, when the prevailing prices of our shares are at historic lows. As a result, any such sales of shares could dilute the ownership of our existing shareholders and the tangible book value of our existing shares and, thereby, adversely affect the market prices of our common stock.

Moreover, our ability to raise additional capital will depend on market and economic conditions over which we do not have control. As a result, there is no assurance that, if required, we will be able to raise additional capital in amounts sufficient to meet regulatory requirements. In that event, the banking agencies that regulate our operations could (i) require us to reduce the size of our loan portfolio by limiting the volume of new loans that we can make or by selling loans or other interest-earning assets as a means of increasing our capital ratios, or (ii) impose other restrictions on our business operations, either or both of which would adversely affect our results of operations and the market price of our shares.

The enactment of the Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act poses uncertainties for our business and is likely to increase our costs of doing business in the future.

On July 21, 2010, the President signed into law the Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Act”) which requires a restructuring of the bank regulatory system in the United States and will require us to make changes in our business that are likely to increase our costs. In addition, the Act presents considerable uncertainties for us, as well as other banking institutions, which will not be resolved until federal regulations are adopted to implement the Act, which will take at least one and possibly two years. As a result, it is not possible to measure or predict, with any degree of certainty, what the full impact of the Act will have on our business and our operating results in the future.
