management based on the information it currently has in its possession. Adverse changes in any of these factors or the discovery of new adverse information could result in higher than expected charge-offs and loan loss provisions.
Goodwill arises from the Company’s purchase price exceeding the fair value of the net assets of an acquired business. Goodwill represents the value attributable to intangible elements acquired. The value of this goodwill is supported ultimately by profit from the acquired business. A decline in earnings could lead to impairment, which would be recorded as a write-down in the Company’s consolidated statements of income. Events that may indicate goodwill impairment include significant or adverse changes in results of operations of the acquired business or asset, economic or political climate; an adverse action or assessment by a regulator; unanticipated competition; and a more-likely-than-not expectation that a reporting unit will be sold or disposed of at a loss.
The Company is subject to income tax laws of the United States, its states, and municipalities in which it operates. The Company considers our income tax provision methodology to be critical, as the determination of current and deferred taxes based on complex analyses of many factors including interpretation of federal and state laws, the difference between tax and financial reporting bases of assets and liabilities (temporary differences), estimates of amounts due or owed, the timing of reversals of temporary differences and current financial standards. Actual results could differ significantly from the estimates due to tax law interpretations used in determining the current and deferred income tax liabilities. Additionally, there can be no assurances that estimates and interpretations used in determining income tax liabilities may not be challenged by federal and state taxing authorities.
The statute of limitations for assessment of additional taxes on income for Federal income and California franchise tax purposes are closed for years prior to 2004 and 2003, respectively.
The Company recognizes interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expenses.
In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement No. 159The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115. Statement No. 159 establishes a fair value option that allows an entity to designate individual financial assets and liabilities as fair value option instruments. Under the fair value option, the change in unrealized gains and losses created by the change in fair value of financial instruments shall be reported in an entity’s earnings for each reporting period. Additional disclosures regarding fair value for financial assets and liabilities accounting for under the fair value option are also required. This statement is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year that begins on or before November 15, 2007, provided the entity also elects to apply the provisions of FASB Statement No, 157,Fair Value Measurements,makes the choice within 120 days of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption, and provided the entity has not yet issued interim financial statements in the year of adoption. If an entity elects early adoption, any unrealized gains and losses related to assets and liabilities that are accounted for using the fair value option that existed as of the beginning of the reporting period shall be charged to the opening balance of retained earnings. The Company did not early adopt and does not expect these standards to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
Earnings Analysis
Net earnings for the quarter ended September 30, 2007 were $1,795,000, compared to net earnings of $1,466,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2006, an increase of $329,000, or 22.44%. Net earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 were $4,981,000 compared to $6,023,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, a decrease of $1,042,000, or 17.30%. Earnings before income tax expense for the quarter ended September 30, 2007 were $2,502,000, compared to $2,253,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2006, an increase of $249,000, or 11.05%. Earnings before income tax were $6,795,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared to $8,897,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, a decrease of $2,102,000, or 23.63%. Two major contributors to the increased income in 2006 were a gain on sale of other equity securities (common stock of Pacific Coast Bankers’ Bancshares), which resulted in a pre tax profit of $1,348,000 in the first quarter of 2006, and a $756,000 pre tax gain on sale of Other Real Estate Owned in the second quarter of 2006. However, average gross loans outstanding increased by $95,123,000, or 24.88%, which resulted in the increased earnings for the third quarter of 2007 compared to the same quarter in 2006.
Net interest income for the quarter ended September 30, 2007 was $7,350,000, compared to $6,716,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2006, an increase of $634,000, or 9.44%. Net interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was $21,393,000 compared to $20,362,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, an increase of $1,031,000, or 5.06%. The prime lending rate was 8.25% for the entire third quarter of 2006 and dropped to 7.75% on September 18, 2007. The Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco’s Weighted Monthly Cost of Funds Index for the three months ended September 2007 (based on the three Index Months ended August 31) averaged 4.31%, compared to 4.18% for the three months ended September 2006. The rate of increase in the rates paid for interest bearing liabilities exceeded the rate of increase in rates earned on interest earning assets in the quarter and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2007, effectively causing a rate related drop in net interest income compared to the same periods in 2006. The improvement in net interest income was due to a greater increase in average interest earning assets, which rose $39,030,000 in the third quarter of 2007 ccompared to the same quarter in 2006, while interest bearing liabilities increased by only
10
$31,625,000. For the nine months of 2007 compared to the nine months of 2006, average interest earning assets increased by $43,653,000, whereas interest bearing liabilities increased by $36,127,000.
Basic earnings per share were $0.63 for the third quarter of 2007 compared to $0.52 for the third quarter of 2006. Diluted earnings per share were $0.62 for the third quarter of 2007 compared to $0.51 for the third quarter of 2006. Basic earnings per share were $1.74 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared to $2.12 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. Diluted earnings per share were $1.72 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared to $2.07 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006.
The following table presents an analysis of net interest income and average earning assets and liabilities for the three-and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2007 compared to the three-and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006.

NET INTEREST INCOME AND MARGIN ON TOTAL EARNING ASSETS | | | | | $ | 21,393 | | | 5.12 | % | | | | $ | 20,362 | | | 5.28 | % |
Interest income is reflected on an actual basis. Yield on gross loans was not adjusted for nonaccrual loans, which were not considered material for this calculation. Fee income included in interest income was $1,222,000 and $1,147,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 respectively.
Net interest income is the difference between interest yield generated by earning assets and the interest expense associated with the funding of those assets.
Tables 1 and 2, above, show the various components that contributed to changes in net interest income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006. The principal interest earning assets are loans, from a volume as well as from an earnings rate perspective.
12
For the quarter ended September 30, 2007, average loans outstanding represented 83.6% of average earning assets. For the quarter ended September 30, 2006, they represented 71.8% of average earning assets. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, average loans outstanding represented 81.9% and 73.2%, respectively, of average earning assets.
The yield on total interest earning assets for the quarter ended September 30, 2007 compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2006 increased from 7.08% to 7.56%, or 48 basis points. Contributing to this was a larger volume invested in loans, which increased by $95,123,000 or 24.88% quarter to quarter, with a yield decrease of 6 basis points, or 0.73%. Interest income on total interest earning assets increased $1,379,000 or 14.51%. Commercial and construction volumes accounted for the majority of the growth in loans.
For the three months ended September 30, 2007 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2006, the cost on total interest bearing liabilities increased from 2.79% to 3.28%, an increase of 49 basis points. The most expensive as well as principal source of interest bearing deposits comes from time deposits. Their average cost increased from 3.79% to 4.42%, and the expense on these deposits increased $352,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2007 compared to 2006. Their average volume increased by $13,461,000, or 10.58%. The other significant increase was in Federal Home Loan Bank advances, which averaged $33,435,000 in the quarter ended September 30, 2007, at a lower rate of 5.26%, compared to an average of $30,000,000 at a rate of 5.57% during the same quarter of 2006.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2006, interest income on interest earning assets increased $4,172,000 or 15.30%, and average earning assets increased $43,653,000, or 8.47%. Average loans increased by $80,236,000, or 21.26%. Interest on loans increased $4,999,000 or 21.54%. Their yield increased 2 basis points, or 0.24%. The cost on total interest bearing liabilities increased from 2.41% to 3.20%. Time deposit averages increased $8,227,000 or 6.13%. Their cost increased 93 basis points, or 26.65%. Federal Home Loan Bank advances averaged $33,062,000 at a cost of 5.41% for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared to $11,099,000, at a cost of 5.52% for the same nine months of 2006. Money market deposit average balances increased $13,651,000, or 11.31%, and their cost increased 70 basis points, or 25.55%.
For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2007 and September 30, 2006, respectively, the following tables show the dollar amount of change in interest income and expense and the dollar amounts attributable to: (a) changes in volume (changes in volume at the current year rate), and (b) changes in rate (changes in rate times the prior year’s volume). In this table, the dollar change in rate/volume is prorated to volume and rate proportionately.

Noninterest income consists mainly of service charges on deposits, credit card fees and miscellaneous types of income. The quarter ended September 30, 2007 stayed relatively unchanged from the same quarter in 2006, increasing $47,000 or 4.49%. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared to the same period in 2006, noninterest income decreased $1,950,000 or 37.58%. Service charges fluctuate with the volume of noninterest bearing demand deposits. These deposits have been holding at year end 2006 levels during the first nine months of 2007. In 2006, there was a pre-tax gain on sale of other equity securities of $1,348,000 and a pre-tax gain on sale of other real estate owned of $756,000. These two non-recurring items accounted for the decrease in noninterest income, net of a minor $154,000 increase in other noninterest income

The principal component of noninterest expense is salaries and employee benefits. It represented 56.6% and 56.2% of total noninterest expense for the quarters ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared to the same period in 2006, it represented 55.3% and 57.1%, respectively. The increase in salaries and benefits is the result of increased support staffing levels and normal salary progression. Occupancy expense increased as several branches experienced annual rent adjustments, which affected the quarter and the year to date. Professional fees increased by 17.8% year to date, due to legal and similar compliance-related expenses, such as SOX 404 and the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA), and consulting projects, but decreased 1.2% in the quarter ended September 30, 2007 compared to the same quarter in 2006, as the initial costs of compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX 404) decreased. A study of our telephone system resulting in elimination of unused telephone lines and switching cellular telephone plans contributed to a decline in Telephone postage and supplies. On a year to date basis, they were up only 1.7%, and in the quarter ended September 30, 2007, they were down 16.9% over the same period in 2006.

The remaining categories that form Other expense increased $163,000 for the quarter and $557,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared to the same periods in 2006. For the quarter, Marketing increased $42,000; Low Income Housing Investment losses of $57,000; Correspondent bank charges increased $25,000; and the remaining 39 categories increased a net $39,000. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared to the same period in 2006, Marketing increased $152,000; Office of the Comptroller of the Currency assessment increased $68,000; Low Income Housing Investment losses increased $161,000; and the remaining 39 categories an increased a net $176,000.
Income Taxes
The effective tax rate for the quarter ended September 30, 2007 was 28.3% compared to 34.9% for the quarter ended September 30, 2006. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and September 30, 2006, respectively was 26.7% and 32.3%. This is affected by changing amounts invested in tax-free securities, by available Low Income Housing Credits, by amounts of interest income on qualifying loans in Enterprise Zones, and by the effective state tax rate. 2006 was also affected by the gain on sale of equity securities and the gain on sale of other real estate owned.
Asset and Liability Management
Ongoing management of the Company’s interest rate sensitivity limits interest rate risk through monitoring the mix and maturity of loans, investments and deposits. Management regularly reviews the Company’s position and evaluates alternative sources and uses of funds as well as changes in external factors. Various methods are used to achieve and maintain the desired rate sensitivity position including the sale or purchase of assets and product pricing.
In order to ensure that sufficient funds are available for loan growth and deposit withdrawals, as well as to provide for general needs, the Company must maintain an adequate level of liquidity. Asset liquidity comes from the Company’s ability to convert short-term investments into cash and from the maturity and repayment of loans and investment securities. Liability liquidity comes from Company’s customer base, which provides core deposit growth. The overall liquidity position of the Company is closely monitored and evaluated regularly. Management believes the Company’s liquidity sources at September 30, 2007 are adequate to meet its operating needs in 2007 and going forward into the foreseeable future.
The Company’s asset/liability gap is the difference between the cash flow amounts of interest-sensitive assets and liabilities that will be refinanced (or repriced) during a given period. For example, if the asset amount to be repriced exceeds the corresponding liability amount for a certain day, month, year or longer period, the institution is in an asset-sensitive gap position. In this situation, net interest income would increase if market interest rates rose or decrease if market interest rates fell. Alternatively, if more liabilities than assets will reprice, the institution is in a liability-sensitive position. Accordingly, net interest income would decline when rates rose and increase when rates fell.
The following table sets forth information concerning interest rate sensitive assets and liabilities as of September 30, 2007. The assets and liabilities are classified by the earlier of maturity or repricing date in accordance with their contractual terms. Since all interest rates and yields do not adjust at the same speed or magnitude, and since volatility is subject to change, the gap is only a general indicator of interest rate sensitivity.

Allowance for loan losses. The Company has the responsibility of assessing the overall risks in its portfolio, assessing the specific loss expectancy, and determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. The level of the allowance is determined by internally generating credit quality ratings, reviewing economic conditions in the Company’s market area, and considering the Company’s historical loan loss experience. The Company considers changes in national and local economic conditions, as well as the condition of various market segments. It also reviews any changes in the nature and volume of the portfolio. It watches for the existence and effect of any concentrations of credit, and changes in the level of such concentrations. The Company also reviews the effect of external factors, such as competition and legal and regulatory requirements. Finally, the Company is committed to maintaining an adequate allowance, identifying credit weaknesses by consistent review of loans, and maintaining the ratings and changing those ratings in a timely manner as circumstances change.
A summary of transactions in the allowance for loan losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and the nine months ended September 30, 2006 is as follows.

In management’s judgment, the allowance was adequate to absorb losses currently inherent in the loan portfolio at September 30, 2007. However, changes in prevailing economic conditions in the Company’s markets or in the financial condition of its customers could result in changes in the level of nonperforming assets and charge-offs in the future and, accordingly, changes in the allowance.

Nonperforming assets. Nonperforming assets consist of nonaccrual loans, foreclosed assets, and loans that are 90 days or more past due but are still accruing interest and other real estate owned. At September 30, 2007, there was $11,253,000 in four loans transferred to non-accrual in the third quarter of 2007. The first loan in the amount of $3,829,000 is a construction loan secured by completed single family homes, with a loan to value of 55% based on a current appraisal. The Bank expects to collect all principal and interest by the first quarter of 2008. The second loan in the amount of $3,539,000 is secured by an apartment building in Pacific Heights, San Francisco. The owner plans to sell the property. The loan to value is 75%, and the Bank expects to collect all principal and interest. The third is a $3,397,000 land development loan, with a loan to value of 87%, based on a current appraisal. The Bank is working with the borrower to develop a strategy to either sell or build out the project. If the project is built out or sold by the borrower, the Bank should collect all principal and interest. Finally, there is a $488,000 loan secured by a single family residence, with an 86% loan to value. It is currently in foreclosure, with a trustee’s sale expected to occur in November. The Bank expects to collect all principal, and possibly some interest on this loan. At December 31, 2006, there was $2,628,000 in non-accrual loans, all of which has been collected during 2007.
There was no Other Real Estate Owned at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, and there was no Other Real Estate Owned, nor any loans past due 90 days and still accruing.
Deposits. Total deposits at September 30, 2007 were $507,013,000 compared to $481,567,000 on December 31, 2006. Of these totals, noninterest-bearing demand deposits were $124,204,000 or 24.5% of the total on September 30, 2007 and $123,884,000 or 25.7% on December 31, 2006. Time deposits were $138,154,000 on September 30, 2007 and $134,390,000 on December 31, 2006.

Liquidity. Liquidity is a measure of the Company’s ability to convert assets into cash with minimal loss. As of September 30, 2007, Liquid Assets were $108,391,000, or 17.0% of total assets. As of December 31, 2006, Liquid Assets were $121,967,000, or 21.0% of total assets. Liquidity consists of cash and due from other banks accounts, federal funds sold, and securities available-for-sale. The Company’s primary uses of funds are loans, and the primary sources of funds are deposits. The relationship between total net loans and total deposits is a useful additional measure of liquidity. The Company also has federal fund borrowing facilities for a total of $70,000,000, a Federal Home Loan Bank line of up to 25% of total assets, and a Federal Reserve Bank facility.
A higher loan to deposit ratio means that assets will be less liquid. This has to be balanced against the fact that loans represent the highest interest earning assets. A lower loan to deposit ratio means lower potential income. On September 30, 2007 net loans were at 95.9% of deposits. On December 31, 2006 net loans were at 87.1% of deposits. To insure the Bank has adequate funding sources, Lines of Credit with other banks and the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco have been established. These unused credit lines exceeded exceeded $180,000,000 at September 30, 2007.
Off-Balance Sheet Items
The Company has certain ongoing commitments under operating leases. These commitments do not significantly impact operating results. As of September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, commitments to extend credit and letters of credit were the only financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk. The Company has not entered into any contracts for financial derivative instruments such as futures, swaps, options or similar instruments. Loan commitments and letters of credit were $143,526,000 and $137,221,000 at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. As a percentage of net loans, these off-balance sheet items represent 29.5% and 32.7% respectively.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.
Market risk is the risk of loss to future earnings, to fair values of assets or to future cash flows that may result from changes in the price or value of a financial instrument. The value of a financial instrument may change as a result of changes in interest rates and other market conditions. Market risk is attributed to all market risk sensitive financial instruments, including loans, investment securities, deposits and borrowings. The Company does not engage in trading activities or participate in foreign currency transactions for its own account. Accordingly, exposure to market risk is primarily a function of asset and liability management activities and of changes in market rates of interest. Changes in rates can cause or require increases in the rates paid on deposits that may take effect more rapidly or may be greater than the increases in the interest rates that the Company is able to charge on loans and the yields that it can realize on its
21
investments. The extent of that market risk depends on a number of variables including the sensitivity to changes in market interest rates and the maturities of the Company’s interest earning assets and deposits. For the quarter ended September 30, 2007, the prime lending rate was 7.75%. For the quarter ended September 30, 2006, the prime lending rate was unchanged at 8.25%.
