Community Valley Bancorp
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Community Valley Bancorp and subsidiaries (the “Company”) have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for annual financial statements are not included herein, however the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which consist solely of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented have been included. These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes contained in the Company’s 2006 Annual Report to Shareholders on Form 10-K.
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Butte Community Bank (the “Bank”) and BCB Insurance Agency, LLC. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company has also established a wholly-owned unconsolidated subsidiary, Community Valley Bancorp Trust II (the “Trust”), a Delaware statutory business trust, formed for the sole purpose of issuing trust preferred securities. The results of operations for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2008 may not necessarily be indicative of the operating results for the full year 2008.
Management has determined that because all of the commercial banking products and services offered by the Company are available in each branch of the bank, all branches are located within the same economic environment and management does not allocate resources based on the performance of different lending or transaction activities, it is appropriate to aggregate the Bank branches and report them as a single operating segment. No single customer accounts for more than 10% of the revenues of the Company or the Bank.
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
2. EARNINGS PER SHARE COMPUTATION
Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period (7,028,451 and 7,223,965 shares for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 7,397,582 and 7,350,838 shares for the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2007). Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that could occur if outstanding stock options were exercised using the treasury stock method. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period plus the dilutive effect of options (93,979 and 109,191 shares for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 206,037 and 242,758 shares for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007). As of June 30, 2008, 153,330 outstanding options were “out of the money”, that is the option price was higher than the market price so these shares were not used in the calculation of earning per share as they are considered antidilutive.
3. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
Comprehensive income is reported in addition to net income for all periods presented. Comprehensive income is made up of net income plus other comprehensive income or loss. The Company’s only source of comprehensive income or loss, is comprised of changes in unrealized gains or losses, net of taxes, on available-for-sale securities, adjusted for the effect of realized gains or losses on available-for-sale securities, net of taxes.

4. STOCK–BASED COMPENSATION
The Company issues stock options under two stock-based compensation plans, the Community Valley Bancorp 1997 and 2000 Stock Option Plans. The plans require that the option price may not be less than the fair market value of the stock at the date the option is granted, and that the stock must be paid in full at the time the option is exercised. The options expire on a date determined by the Board of Directors, but not later than ten years from the date of grant. The vesting period is determined by the Board of Directors and is generally over five years; however, nonstatutory options granted during 1997 vested immediately. Under the 1997 plan 22,474 shares of common stock remain reserved for issuance to employees and directors, and the related options are exercisable until their expiration. However, no new options will be granted under these plans. Under the Company’s 2000 stock option plan, 359,688 shares of common stock remain reserved for issuance to employees and directors, of which 85,877 shares are available for future grants. No options were granted during the three and six month period ending June 30, 2008.
Stock option activity for the interim 2008 period is summarized as follows (dollars in thousands):
2008 | | Shares | | Weighted Average Exercise Price | | Weighted Average Contractual Term | | Aggregate Intrinsic Value | |
Outstanding at January 1 | | 476,921 | | $ | 7.76 | | 4.1 years | | $ | 1,617 | |

Outstanding at June 30 | | 382,162 | | $ | 8.24 | | 3.9 years | | $ | 371 | |
Options vested or expected to vest at June 30 | | 374,519 | | $ | 8.07 | | 4.3 years | | $ | 364 | |
Exercisable at June 30 | | 176,426 | | $ | 4.65 | | 1.7 years | | $ | 371 | |
5. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company is party to claims and legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the amount of ultimate liability with respect to such proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition or result of operations of the Company taken as a whole.
In the normal course of business, there are various outstanding commitments to extend credit which are not reflected in the financial statements, including loan commitments of $167,000,000 and $184,000,000 and stand-by letters of credit of $6,300,000 and $6,700,000 at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively.
Of the loan commitments outstanding at June 30, 2008, $78,300,000 are real estate construction loan commitments that are expected to fund within the next twelve months. The remaining commitments primarily relate to revolving lines of credit or other commercial loans, and many of these are expected to expire without being drawn upon. Therefore, the total commitments do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Each loan commitment and the amount and type of collateral obtained, if any, are evaluated on an individual basis. Collateral held varies, but may include real property, bank deposits, debt or equity securities or business assets.
Stand-by letters of credit are conditional commitments written to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. These guarantees are primarily related to the purchases of inventory by commercial customers and are typically short-term in nature. Credit risk is similar to that involved in extending loan commitments to customers and accordingly, evaluation and collateral requirements similar to those for loan commitments are used. The fair value of the liability related to these stand-by letters of credit, which represents the fees received for issuing the guarantees, was not significant at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007. The Company recognizes these fees as revenues over the term of the commitment or when the commitment is used.

Table of Contents
6. INCOME TAXES
The Company files its income taxes on a consolidated basis with its subsidiaries. The allocation of income tax expense (benefit) represents each entity’s proportionate share of the consolidated provision for income taxes.
The Company accounts for income taxes using the liability or balance sheet method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the tax consequences of temporary differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment. On the consolidated balance sheet, net deferred tax assets are included in accrued interest receivable and other assets.
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes
The benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above is reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying balance sheet along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits, if applicable, as a component of interest expense in the consolidated statements of income. There have been no significant changes to unrecognized tax benefits or accrued interest and penalties for the three months ended June 30, 2008.
7. OTHER BORROWINGS
On June 30, 2008 the Company borrowed $4 million from one of its correspondent banks which was down streamed to Butte Community Bank into the capital accounts. This note is for a two year period with a maturity date of June 30, 2010 and an interest rate equal to the three month LIBOR rate plus 3.25% adjusted quarterly. At the time the note was written the rate of interest was 5.97%.
8. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
On January 1, 2008, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement No. 157 (SFAS 157), Fair Value Measurements. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurement. Upon adoption of SFAS No. 157, there was no cumulative effect adjustment to beginning retained earnings and no impact on the financial statements in the second quarter of 2008.
The following tables present information about the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring and non recurring basis as of June 30, 2008. They indicate the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques utilized by the Company to determine such fair value. In general, fair values determined by Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access.
Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs utilize inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls has been determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

The reader of this report should understand that all such forward-looking statements are subject to various uncertainties and risks that could affect their outcome. The Company’s actual results could differ materially from those suggested by such forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, variances in the actual versus projected growth in assets, return on assets, loan losses, expenses, rates charged on loans and earned on securities investments, rates paid on deposits, competition effects, fee and other noninterest income earned, general economic conditions, nationally, regionally and in the operating market areas of the Company and its subsidiaries, changes in the regulatory environment, changes in business conditions and inflation, changes in securities markets, data processing problems, a decline in real estate values in the Company’s market area, the effects of terrorism, including the events of September 11, 2001 and thereafter, and the conduct of the war on terrorism by the United States and its allies, as well as other factors. This entire report should be read putting such forward-looking statements in context.
General Development of Business
The Company is a financial holding company (“FHC”) registered and authorized to engage in the activities permitted under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended. The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of California in 2002 and elected to change to a FHC in 2004. As a financial holding company, the Company is subject to the Federal Holding Company Act and to supervision by the board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (“FRB”). Its principal office is located at 1360 E. Lassen Avenue, Chico, California 95973 and its telephone number is (530) 899-2344.
The Company owns 100% of the issued and outstanding common shares of Butte Community Bank (the “Bank”). The Bank was incorporated and commenced business in Paradise and Oroville, California in 1990. The Bank operates thirteen full service offices within its service areas of Butte, Sutter, Yuba, Tehama, Shasta, and Colusa Counties. The Bank also maintains Loan Production Offices in Citrus Heights and Gridley. Butte Community Bank’s primary business is serving the commercial banking needs of small to mid-sized businesses and consumers within those counties. Butte Community Bank accepts checking and savings deposits, offers money market deposit accounts and certificates of deposit, makes secured and unsecured commercial, secured real estate, and other installment and term loans and offers other customary banking services.
On December 1, 2004, the Company formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, CVB Insurance Agency LLC for the purpose of providing insurance related services. The name was subsequently changed to Butte Community Insurance Agency LLC in April 2006.
In July 2007, the Company formed a wholly-owned unconsolidated subsidiary, Community Valley Bancorp Trust II (the “Trust”), a Delaware statutory business trust, for the purpose of issuing trust preferred securities. Community Valley Bancorp Trust I was dissolved in January 2008 when the Trust I securities were redeemed.
Critical Accounting Policies
General
The Company’s significant accounting principles are described in Note 1 of the consolidated financial statements in the Company’s 2007 Annual Report to Shareholders on Form 10-K and are essential to understanding Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition. Community Valley Bancorp’s annual consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). The financial information contained within our statements is, to a significant extent, financial information that is based on measures of the financial effects of transactions and events that have already occurred. Some of the Company’s accounting principles require significant judgment to estimate values of assets or liabilities. In addition, certain accounting principles require significant judgment in applying the complex accounting principles to transactions to determine the most appropriate treatment. The following is a summary of the more judgmental and complex accounting estimates and principles.

Table of Contents
Allowance for Loan Losses (ALL)
The allowance for loan losses is management’s best estimate of the probable losses that may be sustained in our loan portfolio. The allowance is based on two basic principles of accounting: (1) SFAS No.5 which requires that losses be accrued when they are probable of occurring and estimable and (2) SFAS No. 114, which requires that losses be accrued on impaired loans based on the differences between the value of collateral, present value of future cash flows or values that are observable in the secondary market and the loan balance.
The Company performs periodic and systematic detailed evaluations of its lending portfolio to identify and estimate the inherent risks and assess the overall collectability. These evaluations include general conditions such as the portfolio composition, size and maturities of various segmented portions of the portfolio such as secured, unsecured, construction, and Small Business Administration (“SBA”).
Additional factors include concentrations of borrowers, industries, geographical sectors, loan product, loan classes and collateral types, volume and trends of loan delinquencies and non-accrual, criticized and classified assets and trends in the aggregate in significant credits identified as watch list items. There are several components to the determination of the adequacy of the ALL. Each of these components is determined based upon estimates that can and do change when the actual events occur. The Company estimates the SFAS No. 5 portion of the ALL based on the segmentation of its portfolio. For those segments that require an ALL, the Company estimates loan losses on a monthly basis based upon its ongoing loan review process and analysis of loan performance. The Company follows a systematic and consistently applied approach to select the most appropriate loss measurement methods and support its conclusions and rationale with written documentation. One method of estimating loan losses for groups of loans is through the application of loss rates to the groups’ aggregate loan balances. Such rates typically reflect historical loss experience for each group of loans, adjusted for relevant economic factors over a defined period of time. The Company evaluates and modifies its loss estimation model as needed to ensure that the resulting loss estimate is consistent with GAAP.
For individually impaired loans, SFAS No. 114 provides guidance on the acceptable methods to measure impairment. Specifically, SFAS No. 114 states that when a loan is impaired, the Company should measure impairment based on the present value of expected future principal and interest cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, except that as a practical expedient, a creditor may measure impairment based on a loan’s observable market price or the fair value of collateral, if the loan is collateral dependent. When developing the estimate of future cash flows for a loan, the Company considers all available information reflecting past events and current conditions, including the effect of existing environmental factors.
Loan Sales and Servicing
The Company originates government guaranteed loans and mortgage loans that may be sold in the secondary market. The amounts of gains recorded on sales of loans and the initial recording of servicing assets and interest only (I/O) strips is based on the estimated fair values of the respective components. In recording the initial value of the servicing assets and the fair value of the I/O strips receivable, the Company uses estimates which are based on management’s expectations of future prepayments and discount rates. Servicing assets are amortized over the estimated life of the related loan. I/O strips are not significant at June 30, 2008. These prepayment and discount rates were based on current market conditions and historical performance of the various pools of serviced loans. If actual prepayments with respect to sold loans occur more quickly than projected the carrying value of the servicing assets may have to be adjusted through a charge to earnings.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company recognizes compensation expense in an amount equal to the fair value of the share-based payments such as stock options granted to employees. The Company records compensation expense (as previous awards continue to vest) for the unvested portion of previously granted awards that were outstanding on January 1, 2006 and for all awards granted after that date as they vest. The estimates of the grant date fair values are based on an option pricing model that uses assumptions based on the expected option life, the level of estimated forfeitures, expected stock volatility and the risk-free interest rate. The calculation of the fair value of share based payments is by nature inexact, and represents management’s best estimate of the grant date fair value of the share based payments. See Note 4 to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information related to stock-based compensation.

Revenue recognition
The Company’s primary source of revenue is interest income, which is the difference between the interest income it receives on interest-earning assets and the interest expense it pays on interest-bearing liabilities, and (ii) fee income, which includes fees earned on deposit services, income from SBA lending, electronic-based cash management services, mortgage brokerage fee income and merchant credit card processing services. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s 2007 Annual Report to Shareholders on Form 10-K offers an explanation of the process for determining when the accrual of interest income is discontinued on an impaired loan.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using currently enacted tax rates applied to such taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. If future income should prove non-existent or less than the amount of deferred tax assets within the tax years to which they may be applied, the asset may not be realized and our net income will be reduced.
The provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (FIN 48) have been applied to all tax positions of the Company as of January 1, 2007. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement standard for the financial statement recognition and measurement of an income tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Only tax positions that met the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold on January 1, 2007 were recognized or continue to be recognized upon adoption.
The benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above is reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying balance sheet along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination. Interest expense and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits are classified as income tax expense in the consolidated statement of income.
Fair Value
Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, which among other things, requires enhanced disclosures about financial instruments carried at fair value. SFAS No. 157 establishes a hierarchical disclosure framework associated with the level of observable pricing scenarios utilized in measuring financial instruments at fair value. The degree of judgment utilized in measuring the fair value of financial instruments generally correlates to the level of the observable pricing scenario. Financial instruments with readily available active quoted prices or for which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices generally will have a higher degree of observable pricing and a lesser degree of judgment utilized in measuring fair value. Conversely, financial instruments rarely traded or not quoted will generally have little or no observable pricing and a higher degree of judgment utilized in measuring fair value. Observable pricing scenarios are impacted by a number of factors, including the type of financial instrument, whether the financial instrument is new to the market and not yet established and the characteristics specific to the transaction.
Overview
The Company recorded net income of $1,043,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2008, which was a 36.4% decrease from the $1,642,000 reported for the same period of 2007. Diluted earnings per share for the second quarter of 2008 were $0.15, compared to the $0.22 recorded in the second quarter of 2007. The annualized return on average equity (ROAE) and annualized return on average assets (ROAA) for the second quarter of 2008 were 9.44% and .74%, respectively, as compared to 13.70% and 1.15%, respectively, for the same period in 2007. The primary reasons for the decrease in net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 were a compression of the net interest margin of 63 basis points as yields on earning assets decreased 133 basis points while rates paid on interest bearing liabilities decreased 79 basis points. This was partially

mitigated by the change in the mix of earning assets as average loans increased and average federal funds sold decreased. Also contributing to the decrease in net income was the slowdown in the real estate construction market. For the quarter ended June 30, 2008 the provision for loan losses was $450,000 compared with no provision in the second quarter of 2007. These decreases were partially offset by increases in services charges on deposit accounts and other non-interest income.
Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was $1,868,000 which was a decrease of 35.4% from the $2,892,000 reported for the same period of 2007. Diluted earnings per share for the six months ended June 30, 2008 were $0.25, compared to the $0.38 recorded for the same period 2007. The ROAE and ROAA for the six months ended 2008 were 7.71% and .66%, respectively, as compared to 12.41% and 1.03%, respectively, for the same period in 2007. The primary reasons for the decrease in net income for the six month period is generally consistent with the discussion above for the second quarter as the net interest margin decreased 63 basis points from June 30, 2007. The loan loss provision for the six month period ending June 30, 2008 was $675,000 compared to $75,000 for the six month period ending June 30, 2007.
Total assets of the Company decreased by $16,180,000, 2.8% from $580,620,000 at December 31, 2007 to $564,440,000 at June 30, 2008. Net loans were $489,504,000, an increase of $48,154,000, 10.9% from the December 31, 2007 balance of $441,350,000. Deposit balances at June 30, 2008 decreased to $497,192,000 down $3,799,000, .76% from the December 31, 2007 balance of $500,991,000.

Results of Operations
Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin
Net interest income represents the excess of interest and fees earned on interest earning assets (loans, securities, federal funds sold and investments in time deposits) over the interest paid on deposits and borrowed funds. Net interest margin is net interest income expressed as a percentage of average earning assets.
The Company’s net interest margin was 5.22% for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 5.19% for the six month period ending June 30, 2008 compared to 5.85% and 5.82% for the same periods in the prior year. Net interest income decreased $781,000 (10.4%) for the second quarter of 2008 compared to the same period in 2007. Net interest income decreased $1,344,000 (9.1%) for the six months ended June 30, 2008 over the same period in 2007. The primary reason for this decrease was the compression of the net interest margin as a result of 325 basis point decreases by the Federal Reserve Board since September 2007 and because the repricing of our interest bearing liabilities tends to lag behind our interest bearing assets.
Table Two, Analysis of Net Interest Margin, sets forth the average daily balances for the major asset and liability categories, the related income or expense where applicable, and the resultant yield or cost attributable to the average earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Changes in the average balances and the rates received or paid depend on market opportunities, how well the Company has managed interest rate risks, product pricing policy, product mix, and external trends and developments.

Table Three, Analysis of Volume and Rate changes on Net Interest Income, analyzes the changes in net interest income for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2008 compared to June 30, 2007 that are reported in Table Two. The analysis shows the impact of volume and rate changes on the major categories of assets and liabilities between these periods. The table explains what portion of the difference or variance in interest income or expense between these periods for each major category of assets or liabilities is due to changes in the balances (volume) or to changes in rates.
For example, Table Two shows that interest income from loans for the three months ended June 30, 2008 decreased by $1,201,000 from $10,157,000 at June 30, 2007 to $8,956,000. The average balance of loans increased from $452,899,000 to $477,500,000 and the interest rate earned decreased from 9.00% to 7.54%. Table Three shows the $1,201,000 decrease in interest income from loans was actually the result of a $550,000 increase in interest income from the higher balance of loans and a $1,751,000 decrease in interest income from the decrease in yields earned in the second quarter of 2008 compared to the same period in 2007.
A shift in the relative size of the major balance sheet categories has an impact on net interest income and net interest margin. For example, to the extent that funds received from maturing or sold securities can be repositioned into loans instead of re-invested in securities, earnings increase because of the higher yields received on loans. However, changing the asset mix in this way comes at the price of additional risks that must be successfully managed. Additional credit risk is incurred with loans compared to the very low risk of default loss on securities, and the Company must carefully monitor the underwriting process to ensure that the benefit of the additional interest earned is not offset by additional credit losses.

Non-interest income increased by $237,000 (12%) to $2,210,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to $1,973,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2007. Increases in non-interest income were realized in fees from service charges (up 13.9%), loan servicing fees (up 6.7%), fees from alternative investment sales (up 126%) merchant fee income (up 1.0%) and other income (up 35.6%). Decreases were in gains on the sale of loans (down 31.9%). The increase in service charge income was the result of additional deposit accounts opened during the second quarter throughout our system of branches. Loan servicing fees were up slightly due to the higher number of loans being serviced. Fees from the sales of alternative investments, such as third-party mutual funds and annuities, were up due to the higher volume of sales during the quarter with the addition of another commission based sales person. Merchant fee income was higher in the second quarter due to an increase in the volume of credit card sales. Increases in the “Other” category were a result of increased fees from ATM transactions, commissions earned on sales of insurance policies and fees paid for payroll processing through our Business Services Division. Gains on sales of loans into the secondary market decreased compared to the prior year as the loans sold by our Government and Mortgage Lending Divisions decreased as refinancing and new housing construction activity slowed.
Non-interest income increased by $483,000 (13.1%) to $4,170,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to $3,687,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2007. Increases in non-interest income were realized in fees from service charges (up 15.8%), loan servicing fees (up 6.7%), fees from alternative investment sales (up 92.9%), merchant fee income (up 4.5%) and other income (up 36.2%). There was a decrease in the gain on the sale of loans (down 31.4%). The increase in service charge income was the result of additional deposit accounts opened during the first half of the year throughout our system of branches. Loan servicing fees were up due to the higher number of loans being serviced. Fees from the sales of alternative investments, such as third-party mutual funds and annuities, were up due to the higher volume of sales. Merchant fee income was higher in the first six months of 2008 due to an increase in the volume of credit card sales of the same time frame in 2007. Increases in the “Other” category were a result of increased fees from ATM transaction, commissions earned on sales of insurance policies and fees paid for payroll processing through our Business Services Division. Gains on sales of loans into the secondary market decreased during the first half of 2008 as compared to the same period in 2007 for the same reasons stated above for the three month period.

Non-interest Expense
Non-interest expense increased slightly by $65,000 (1.00%) from $6,657,000 in the second quarter of 2007 to $6,722,000 in the second quarter of 2008. Salary and employee benefits declined by $280,000 (7.1%) as a result of staff attrition and lower expenses related to bonus accruals and retirement programs. On a quarter over quarter basis, occupancy expenses were higher by $260,000 (57.3%). This increase is related to rent expense on the seven buildings which were sold in January and leased back by the Company as well as increases in utilities, landscape maintenance, janitorial services and property taxes. Furniture and equipment expense was $651,000 in the second quarter of 2008 compared to $534,000 in the same period of 2007, representing a 21.9% increase. This increase relates to the depreciation recorded on the purchase of new technology software and hardware as well as additional furniture and fixtures at the new Redding and Anderson branches opened in the third quarter of 2007. Other expenses decreased $32,000 from $1,735,000 to $1,703,000 in the second quarter of 2008 versus the second quarter of 2007.
Non-interest expense increased $352,000 (2.6%) from $13,362,000 in the first six months of 2007 to $13,714,000 in the first six months of 2008. Salary and employee benefits declined by $601,000 (8.2%) as a result of staff attrition and lower expenses related to bonus accruals and retirement programs. On a year over year basis, full time equivalent employees decreased by 16 to 242. Occupancy expense was up $447,000 (47.4%) from the first six months of 2007 to the first six months of 2008. This increase is related to rent expense on the seven buildings which were sold in January and leased back by the Company as well as increases in utilities, landscape maintenance, janitorial services and property taxes. Furniture and equipment expense was up $213,000 (19.7%) from the first six months of 2007 to the first six months of 2008 due to the new branches discussed above and increases in depreciation from purchases of equipment and associated maintenance contracts. Other expenses increased by $292,000 (8.6%). This increase was attributable to higher telephone and postage costs as well as increased advertising and promotion costs.
Provision for Loan Losses
The Company provided $450,000 for loan losses for the second quarter of 2008 compared to no provision in the second quarter of 2007. Net loan charge-offs for the second quarter of 2008 and 2007 were $208,000 and $8,000 respectively. For the first six months of 2008, the Company recorded provisions for loan losses of $675,000 which compared to $75,000 for the first six months of 2007. Net loan charge-offs for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007 were $220,000 and $8,000 respectively. Management assesses its loan quality on a monthly basis to maintain an adequate allowance for loan losses. The Company’s loan portfolio composition, non-performing assets and allowance for loan losses are further discussed under the Balance Sheet Analysis section below.
Provision for Income Taxes
The effective tax rate for the second quarter and first six months of 2008 remained consistent at 41.1% and 41.3%, versus 41.6% and 41.9% for the same periods in 2007.
Balance Sheet Analysis
The Company’s total assets were $564,440,000 at June 30, 2008 down $16,180,000 (2.9%) from $580,620,000 at December 31, 2007. On a year over year basis, the average balance of total assets for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was $569,816,000, which represents a slight increase of $3,046,000 (.54%) over the $566,770,000 during the six-month period ended June 30, 2007.
Loans
The Company concentrates its lending activities in the following principal areas: 1) commercial; 2) real estate mortgage; 3) residential real estate and real estate construction (both commercial and residential); 4) agriculture; and 5) consumer loans. Commercial and residential real estate loans are generally secured by improved property, with original maturities of 3-10 years. At June 30, 2008, these principal areas accounted for approximately 17%, 47%, 16%, 8% and 12%, respectively, of the Company’s loan portfolio. The mix at December 31, 2007 was 17%, 47%, 18%, 6% and 12%.

Growth in the real estate loan category has slowed during the current economic downturn as we are experiencing more requests by borrowers to extend the terms of their loans thereby reducing the amount of loan payoffs we would normally expect. New loan growth has occurred in the commercial, agriculture and consumer loan types. Increases in loan balances from December 31, 2007 for commercial loans of $5,483,000 or (7.1%), commercial and residential mortgage real estate loans of $25,693,000 or (5.1%), agricultural loans of $12,660,000 or (49.9%), consumer loans of $5,881,000 or (10.9%). Real estate construction loans decreased $1,258,000 or (1.5%) over the same period. Table Five below summarizes the composition of the loan portfolio as of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007.

The majority of the Company’s loans are direct loans made to individuals and local businesses. The Company relies substantially on local promotional activity and personal contacts by bank officers, directors and employees to compete with other financial institutions. The Company makes loans to borrowers whose applications include a sound purpose and a viable primary repayment source, generally supported by a secondary source of repayment.
Commercial loans consist of credit lines for operating needs, loans for equipment purchases, working capital, and various other business loan products. Consumer loans include a range of traditional consumer loan products such as personal lines of credit and loans to finance purchases of autos, boats, recreational vehicles, mobile homes and various other consumer items.
Real estate construction loans are generally composed of commitments to customers within the Company’s service area for construction of both commercial properties and custom and semi-custom single-family residences. Other real estate loans consist primarily of loans secured by first trust deeds on commercial and residential properties typically with maturities from 3 to 10 years and original loan to value ratios generally from 65% to 80%. Agriculture loans consist primarily of crop loans to farmers of peaches, prunes, walnuts, and almonds. In general, except in the case of loans with SBA or FMHA guarantees, the Company does not make long-term mortgage loans; however, Butte Community Bank has a residential lending division to assist customers in securing most forms of longer term single-family mortgage financing.
Risk Elements
The Company assesses and manages credit risk on an ongoing basis through a total credit culture that emphasizes excellent credit quality, extensive internal monitoring and established formal lending policies. Additionally, the Company contracts with an outside loan review consultant to periodically review the existing loan portfolio. Management believes its ability to identify and assess risk and return characteristics of the Company’s loan portfolio is critical for profitability and growth. Management strives to continue its emphasis on credit quality in the loan approval process, active credit administration and regular monitoring. With this in mind, management has designed and implemented a comprehensive loan review and grading system that functions to continually assess the credit risk inherent in the loan portfolio.
Ultimately, underlying trends in economic and business cycles may influence credit quality. The Company’s business is concentrated in the Butte, Sutter and Shasta County areas. The economy of these three counties is diversified with professional services, manufacturing, agriculture and real estate investment and construction.
Special emphasis is placed within the communities in which the Company has offices (Chico, Paradise, Magalia, Oroville, Yuba City, Red Bluff, Marysville, Colusa, Corning, Redding and Anderson). The Company also maintains loan production offices in the cities of Citrus Heights and Gridley. Single-family residential construction is the primary lending product from the Citrus Heights location serving the greater Sacramento area. The primary focus of the loan production office in Gridley is commercial and agricultural loans.

Table of Contents
The Company has significant extensions of credit and commitments to extend credit that are secured by real estate. The ultimate repayment of these loans is generally dependent on personal or business cash flows or the sale or refinancing of the real estate. The Company monitors the effects of current and expected market conditions and other factors on the collectability of real estate loans. The more significant factors management considers involve the following: lease, absorption and sale rates; real estate values and rates of return; operating expenses; inflation; and sufficiency of collateral independent of the real estate including, in limited instances, personal guarantees.
In extending credit and commitments to borrowers, the Company generally requires collateral and/or guarantees as security. The repayment of such loans is expected to come from cash flow or from proceeds from the sale of selected assets of the borrowers. The Company’s requirement for collateral and/or guarantees is determined on a case-by-case basis in connection with management’s evaluation of the creditworthiness of the borrower. Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, income-producing properties, residences and other real property. The Company secures its collateral by perfecting its security interest in business assets, obtaining deeds of trust, or outright possession among other means.
In management’s judgment, a concentration exists in real estate loans, which represented approximately 63.5% of the Company’s loan portfolio at June 30, 2008, which is slightly less, on a percentage basis, than the 64.9% concentration level at December 31, 2007. Management believes the concentration to have no more than the normal risk of collectability; however, a substantial decline in the economy in general, or a decline in real estate values in the Company’s primary market areas in particular, could have an adverse impact on the collectability of these loans and require an increase in the provision for loan losses which could adversely affect the Company’s future prospects, results of operations, profitability and stock price. Management believes that its lending policies and underwriting standards will tend to minimize losses in an economic downturn; however, there is no assurance that losses will not occur under such circumstances. The Company’s loan policies and underwriting standards include, but are not limited to, the following: (1) maintaining a thorough understanding of the Company’s service area and originating a significant majority of its loans within that area, (2) maintaining a thorough understanding of borrowers’ knowledge, capacity, and market position in their field of expertise, (3) basing real estate loan approvals not only on market demand for the project, but also on the borrowers’ capacity to support the project financially in the event it does not perform to expectations (whether sale or income performance), and (4) maintaining conforming and prudent loan to value and loan to cost ratios based on independent outside appraisals and ongoing inspection and analysis by the Company’s lending officers. The Company does not participate in any sub-prime lending activities.
Nonaccrual, Past Due and Restructured Loans
Management generally places loans on nonaccrual status when they become 90 days past due, unless the loan is well secured and in the process of collection. Loans are charged off when, in the opinion of management, collection appears unlikely.
Table Six below sets forth nonaccrual loans as of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007. There were no loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest at June 30, 2008 or December 31, 2007.

Total non-performing loans | | $ | 1,129 | | $ | 253 | |
At June 30, 2008, there were eight non-performing loans which were considered to be impaired. Of these two were non-performing commercial loans. One of the commercial loans was for $178,998 and has an 80% SBA guarantee, resulting in an exposure to the Company $35,800. The other commercial loan was for $18,178 and is secured with a truck which the Company is attempting to sell. There were six non-performing real estate loans. Of these three were equity lines of credit, one of which has paid off subsequent to the end of the reporting period for $11,810. The second loan was for $35,031 with an original loan amount of $75,000. A new appraisal was completed during the second quarter resulting in a lower appraised value. As a result of this appraisal, $40,000 of this loan was charged off in the second quarter of this year. The third loan had a balance of $26,905 and a new appraisal is forthcoming and the Company has a potential buyer for this property. The fourth loan was for the construction of a single family residence that has a current balance of $612,500. The construction of the home is complete but the borrowers are granting the Company a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure. The home was recently in escrow with a sales price of $732,000 but the purchase was not completed. A new appraisal has been ordered and our estimated loan to value is 84%. The fifth loan is a construction loan for a duplex located in Sacramento with a balance of

$119,560. The borrower stopped construction with the structure 40% complete. The Company is soliciting bids from qualified contractors to complete the project. The final loan is a lot loan in Amador County with a balance of $126,694. The lot declined in value and the borrower has stated he no longer plans to make the loan payments. There were no loan concentrations in excess of 10% of total loans not otherwise disclosed as a category of loans as of June 30, 2008 or December 31, 2007. Management is not aware of any potential problem loans, which were accruing and current at June 30, 2008, where serious doubt exists as to the ability of the borrower to comply with the present repayment terms.
Allowance for Loan Losses Activity
We employ a systematic methodology for determining the allowance for loan losses that includes a monthly review process and monthly adjustment of the allowance. Our process includes a periodic review of individual loans that have been specifically identified as problem loans or have characteristics which could lead to impairment, as well as detailed reviews of other loans (either individually or in pools). While this methodology utilizes historical and other objective information, the establishment of the allowance for loan losses and the classification of loans are, to some extent, based on management’s judgment and experience.
Our methodology incorporates a variety of risk considerations, both quantitative and qualitative, in establishing an allowance for loan losses that management believes is appropriate at each reporting date. Quantitative factors include our historical loss experience, delinquency and charge-off trends, collateral values, changes in non-performing loans, and other factors. Quantitative factors also incorporate known information about individual loans, including borrowers’ sensitivity to interest rate movements and borrowers’ sensitivity to quantifiable external factors including commodity prices as well as acts of nature (freezes, earthquakes, fires, etc.) that occur in a particular period.
Qualitative factors include the general economic environment in our markets and, in particular, the state of the agriculture industry and other key industries in the Northern Sacramento Valley. The way a particular loan might be structured, the extent and nature of waivers of existing loan policies, loan concentrations and the rate of portfolio growth are other qualitative factors that are considered.
Our methodology is, and has been, consistently followed. However, as we add new products, increase in complexity, and expand our geographic coverage, we expect to enhance our methodology to keep pace with the size and complexity of the loan portfolio. On an ongoing basis we engage outside firms to independently assess our methodology, and to perform independent credit reviews of our loan portfolio. The FDIC and the California Department of Financial Institutions review the allowance for loan losses as an integral part of the examination processes. Management believes that our current methodology is appropriate given our size and level of complexity. Further, management believes that the allowance for loan losses is adequate as of June 30, 2008 to cover known and inherent risks in the loan portfolio. However, fluctuations in credit quality, or changes in economic conditions or other factors could cause management to increase or decrease the allowance for loan losses as necessary.
The Board of Directors of the Bank reviews the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses at least quarterly to include consideration of the relative risks in the portfolio and current economic conditions. The allowance is adjusted based on that review if, in the judgment of the loan committee and management, changes are warranted. The allowance for loan losses totaled $6,241,000 or 1.26% of total loans at June 30, 2008 and $5,232,000 or 1.17% at December 31, 2007. The Company has established a separate reserve for unfunded loan commitments of $306,000 as of June 30, 2008 compared to $860,000 as of December 31, 2007 and included in accrued interest payable and other liabilities on the Company’s balance sheet.

Allowance for loan losses to loans net of deferred fees at end of period | | 1.26 | % | 1.17 | % | 1.26 | % | 1.17 | % |
It is the policy of management to maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level adequate for known and inherent risks in the portfolio. Based on information currently available to analyze inherent credit risk, including economic factors, overall credit quality, historical delinquencies and a history of actual charge-offs, management believes that the provision for loan losses and the allowance are adequate. The Company generally makes monthly allocations to the allowance for loan losses. The budgeted allocation is based on estimates of loss risk and loan growth. Adjustments may be made based on differences from estimated loan growth, the types of loans constituting this growth, changes in risk ratings within the portfolio, and general economic conditions. However, no prediction of the ultimate level of loans charged off in future years can be made with any certainty.
Other Real Estate
The Company is still marketing the six single family residential lots acquired through foreclosure as discussed in the March 31, 2008 10-Q. These lots with a carrying value of $837,250 at June 30, 2008 are classified as other real estate (“ORE”) and included in accrued interest receivable and other assets on the Company’s balance sheet. One of the lots is located in Paradise where a recent wildfire burned the property. Subsequent to the fire, the Company charged-off $44,500 of the outstanding balance. The second lot is located in El Dorado Hills and is listed with a local realtor. This property was written down by $25,000 in the second quarter due to the lack of buyer activity. The final four lots are located in Mt. Shasta City and are listed with a local realtor. The listing price has been recently reduced by $60,000 as the realtor has stated there have been very few sales in the area. At December 31, 2007, the Company did not have any ORE properties.

Deposits
At June 30, 2008, total deposits were $497,192,000 representing a decrease of $3,799,000 (.76%) from the December 31, 2007 balance of $500,991,000. Non-interest bearing deposits increased slightly by $705,000 (1.0%) from $77.6 million at December 31, 2007. Interest bearing demand deposits decreased slightly by $479,000 (.31%) to $152 million while savings deposits increased $6.3 million (5.7%). Certificate of deposit balances decreased by $10.3 million (6.5%) to $149.2 million.
As discussed in the March 31, 2008 Form 10-Q, during the months of May, June, and July approximately $96 million in certificate of deposit balances were to mature and reprice. We saw this as an opportunity to dramatically decrease our interest expense as these deposits had an average weighted yield of 4.95%. We were able to reduce the weighted average yield of the certificates that matured during May and June by 145 basis points and retained 91% of the deposits. We anticipate similar results with the $24 million maturing in July.
Capital Resources
The current and projected capital position of the Company and the impact of capital plans and long-term strategies are reviewed regularly by management. The Company’s capital position represents the level of capital available to support continued operations and expansion.
The Board of Directors of the Company authorized the payment of quarterly cash dividends totaling $0.32 per share for 2007 and $0.08 and $0.04 per share for the first and second quarters of 2008 respectively. The payment of dividends in the future is subject to the discretion of the Board of Directors of the Company and will depend on earnings, the financial condition of the Company and other relevant factors.
The Company and its subsidiary Bank are subject to certain regulations issued by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and the FDIC which require maintenance of certain levels of capital. On June 30, 2008 the Company borrowed $4 million from one of its correspondent banks which was downstreamed to Butte Community Bank into the capital accounts. This note is for a two year period with a maturity date of June 30, 2010 and an interest rate equal to the three month LIBOR rate plus 3.25% adjusted quarterly. At the time the note was written the rate of interest was 5.97%. At June 30, 2008, shareholders’ equity was $39,509,000, representing a decrease of $11,465,000 (22.5%) from $50,974,000 at December 31, 2007. The decrease is primarily the result of the Tender Offer of 1 million shares at $13.00 per share done in April of this year resulting in the retirement of 1 million shares of the Company’s common stock for a total purchase price of $13 million. This offer was over subscribed and participating shareholders were paid a pro-rata share on May 5, 2008 representing 63.38% of the shares tendered. Net income from the period offset by the stock based compensation expense recorded and cash dividends discussed above also had an affect on the total. The Bank’s ratio of total risk-based capital to risk adjusted assets was 10.2% at June 30, 2008 and 11.4% at December 31, 2007. Tier 1 risk-based capital to risk-adjusted assets was 9.0% at June 30, 2008 and 10.4 at December 31, 2007.
Table Eight below lists the Company’s and the Bank’s capital ratios at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, as well as the minimum ratios required under regulatory definitions of capital adequacy.
Table Eight: Capital Ratios
Capital to Risk-Adjusted Assets | | At June 30, 2008 | | At December 31, 2007 | | Minimum Regulatory Requirement | |
Company | | | | | | | |
Leverage ratio | | 8.4 | % | 11.6 | % | 4.0 | % |
Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital | | 8.9 | % | 13.1 | % | 4.0 | % |
Total Risk-Based Capital | | 10.1 | % | 14.1 | % | 8.0 | % |

Bank | | | | | | | |
Leverage ratio | | 8.6 | % | 9.3 | % | 4.0 | % |
Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital | | 9.0 | % | 10.4 | % | 4.0 | % |
Total Risk-Based Capital | | 10.2 | % | 11.4 | % | 8.0 | % |
Capital ratios are reviewed on a regular basis to ensure that capital exceeds the prescribed regulatory minimums and is adequate to meet future needs. All ratios are in excess of the regulatory definition of “Minimum” at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007. The Bank was considered “well-capitalized” by regulatory standards, at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Market Risk Management
Overview. Market risk is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and rates. The Company’s market risk arises primarily from interest rate risk inherent in its loan, investment and deposit portfolios. The goal for managing the assets and liabilities of the Company is to maximize shareholder value and earnings while maintaining a high quality balance sheet without exposing the Company to undue interest rate risk.
The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the interest rate risk management policies. The Bank has an Asset and Liability Management Committee (ALCO) that establishes and monitors guidelines to control the sensitivity of earnings to changes in interest rates.
Asset/Liability Management. Activities involved in asset/liability management include, but are not limited to, lending, accepting and placing deposits, investing in securities, using trust preferred securities and borrowings. Interest rate risk is the primary market risk associated with asset/liability management. Sensitivity of earnings to interest rate changes arises when yields on assets change in a different time period or in a different amount from that of interest costs on liabilities. To mitigate interest rate risk, the structure of the balance sheet is managed with the goal that movements of interest rates on assets and liabilities are correlated and contributes to earnings even in periods of volatile interest rates. The asset/liability management policy sets limits on the acceptable amount of variance in net interest margin and market value of equity under changing interest environments. The Company uses simulation models to forecast earnings, net interest margin and market value of equity.
Simulation of earnings is the primary tool used to measure the sensitivity of earnings to interest rate changes. Using computer-modeling techniques, the Company is able to estimate the potential impact of changing interest rates on earnings. A balance sheet forecast is prepared monthly using inputs of actual loans, securities and interest bearing liability (i.e. deposits/borrowings) positions as the beginning base. The forecast balance sheet is processed against seven interest rate scenarios. These scenarios include a 100, 200 and 300 basis point rising rate forecast, a flat rate forecast and a 100, 200 and 300 basis point falling rate forecast which take place within a one year time frame.
The net interest income is measured during the year assuming a gradual change in rates over the twelve-month horizon. The Company’s net interest income, as forecast below, was modeled utilizing a forecast balance sheet projected from balances as of the date indicated.
Table Nine below summarizes the effect on net interest income (NII) of a ±200 basis point change in interest rates as measured against a constant rate (no change) scenario. The results shown in Table nine for the two periods, fall within the parameters of the Bank’s policy for interest rate risk.
Table Nine: Interest Rate Risk Simulation of Net Interest as of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007
(In thousands) | | $ Change in NIL from Current 12 Month Horizon June 30, 2008 | | $ Change in NIL from Current 12 Month Horizon December 31, 2007 | |
Variation from a constant rate scenario | | | | | |
+200bp | | $ | 3,299 | | $ | 3,510 | |
-200bp | | $ | (3,400 | ) | $ | (3,847 | ) |
Assumptions are inherently uncertain, and, consequently, the model cannot precisely measure net interest income or precisely predict the impact of changes in interest rates on net interest income. Actual results will differ from simulated results due to timing, magnitude and frequency of interest rate changes, as well as changes in market conditions and management strategies which might moderate the negative consequences of interest rate deviations. In the model above, the simulation shows that the Company is asset sensitive over the one-year horizon as increasing rates have a positive impact on net interest income and declining rates have a negative impact.

Inflation
The impact of inflation on a financial institution differs significantly from that exerted on manufacturing, or other commercial concerns, primarily because its assets and liabilities are largely monetary. In general, inflation primarily affects the Company and it subsidiaries through its effect on market rates of interest, which affects the Company’s ability to attract loan customers. Inflation affects the growth of total assets by increasing the level of loan demand, and potentially adversely affects capital adequacy because loan growth in inflationary periods can increase at rates higher than the rate capital grows through retention of earnings, which may be generated in the future. In addition to its effects on interest rates, inflation increases overall operating expenses.
The economy is not likely to grow fast enough to absorb the growth of the labor force over the next twelve months consequently upward pressure will be placed on the unemployment rate which is currently around 5.2%. Food prices are rising at an annual rate of nearly 5% and energy prices are at all time highs. Slower economic growth could moderate the rate of inflation through the remainder of 2008.
Liquidity
Liquidity management refers to the Company’s ability to provide funds on an ongoing basis to meet fluctuations in deposit levels as well as the credit needs and requirements of its clients. Both assets and liabilities contribute to the Company’s liquidity position. Federal funds lines, short-term investments and securities, and loan repayments contribute to liquidity, along with deposit increases, while loan funding and deposit withdrawals decrease liquidity. The Company assesses the likelihood of projected funding requirements by reviewing historical funding patterns, current and forecasted economic conditions and individual client funding needs.
The Company’s sources of liquidity consist of cash and due from correspondent banks, overnight funds sold to correspondent banks, unpledged marketable investments and loans held for sale. On June 30, 2008, consolidated liquid assets totaled $35.5 million or 6.3% of total assets compared to $86 million or 14.8% of total assets on December 31, 2007. In addition to liquid assets, the Company maintains short-term lines of credit in the amount of $15,000,000 with correspondent banks. There were no borrowings outstanding under these arrangements at June 30, 2008.
The Bank also has informal agreements with various other banks to sell participations in loans, if necessary. The Company serves primarily a business and professional customer base and, as such, its deposit base is susceptible to economic fluctuations. Accordingly, management strives to maintain a balanced position of liquid assets to volatile and cyclical deposits.
Liquidity is also affected by portfolio maturities and the effect of interest rate fluctuations on the marketability of both assets and liabilities. The Company can sell any of its unpledged securities held in the available-for-sale category to meet liquidity needs.
Off-Balance Sheet Items
The Company has certain ongoing commitments under operating leases. These commitments do not significantly impact operating results. As of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, 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. Commitments to fund loans and stand-by letters of credit at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007 were approximately $173.3 million and $190.4 million respectively. Such loans relate primarily to revolving lines of credit and other commercial loans, and to real estate construction loans. As a percentage of net loans, these off-balance sheet items represent 35.4% and 43.1%, respectively.
Other Matters
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
(a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures: An evaluation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and other members of the Company’s senior management as of the end of the Company’s fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2008. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as currently in effect are effective in ensuring that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is (i) accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management (including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer) to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure, and (ii) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms.

(b) Internal Control Over Financial Reporting: An evaluation of any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)), that occurred during the Company’s fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2008, was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and other members of the Company’s senior management. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that no change identified in connection with such evaluation has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
None.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks facing our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.” The overall decline in residential real estate values in California, and more specifically in our primary market, has continued into 2008. While the Company has not been materially impacted by this trend to the level of some other financial institutions, continuing declines in residential real estate will have a continuing negative impact on the overall economic conditions in the Company’s markets and may result in increased credit losses and/or reduced opportunities for future growth and profitability.
Item 2. Changes in Securities and Use of Proceeds.
On March 13, 2008 the Company announced a Tender Offer for 1 million shares of the Company’s Common Stock at $13.00 per share. This offer was over subscribed and participating shareholders were paid a pro-rata share on May 5, 2008 representing 63.38% of the shares tendered.
