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 2007 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 also has a wholly-owned unconsolidated subsidiary, Community Valley Bancorp Trust II (the “Trust”), a Delaware statutory business trusts, formed for the sole purpose of issuing trust preferred securities. Community valley Bancorp Trust I, which was also formed for the sole purpose of issuing trust preferred securities, was dissolved in January 2008 in conjunction with the redemption of the Trust I securities. The results of operations for the three-month and nine month periods ended September 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 (6,605,621 and 7,100,673 shares for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2008 and 7,479,267 and 7,394,309 shares for the three month and nine month periods ended September 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 (41,305 and 86,562 shares for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2008 and 152,285 and 212,600 shares for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2007). As of September 30, 2008, 152,293 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 earnings 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
7
Table of Contents
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, 8,254 shares of common stock remain reserved for issuance to employees, and the related options are exercisable until their expiration. However, no new options will be granted under this plan. Under the Company’s 2000 stock option plan, 350,477 shares of common stock remain reserved for issuance to employees and directors, of which 92,916 shares are available for future grants. No options were granted during the three and nine month period ending September 30, 2008.
Stock option activity for the interim 2008 period is summarized below:

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 $149,368,000 and $184,000,000 and stand-by letters of credit of $6,504,000 and $6,700,000 at September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively.
Of the loan commitments outstanding at September 30, 2008, $73,510,000 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 September 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.
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
8
Table of Contents
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 September 30, 2008.
7. OTHER BORROWINGS
The $4 million note payable is from a correspondent bank to the holding company 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. The rate was adjusted to 7.30% on September 30, 2008. The $976,000 represents the balance of the ESOP note payable due April 10, 2014 with an interest rate of 5.0% at September 30, 2008. During the third quarter of 2008 the available amount that could be drawn on the ESOP note and used to purchase shares was increased by $338,000.
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 September 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.

9. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”(SFAS No. 162). This standard identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with GAAP. The provisions of SFAS No. 162 did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
On October 10, 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS 157-3, Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset Is Not Active. The FSP clarifies the application of FASB Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, in a market that is not active and provides an example to illustrate key considerations in determining the fair value of a financial asset when the market for that financial asset is not active. The FSP is effective immediately, and includes prior period financial statements that have not yet been issued, and therefore the Company is subject to the provision of the FSP effective September 30, 2008. The implementation of FSP FAS 157-3 did not affect the Company’s fair value measurement as of September 30, 2008.

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 collectibility. 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 September 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 $1,301,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2008, which was a 40.3% decrease from the $2,178,000 reported for the same period of 2007. Diluted earnings per share for the third quarter of 2008 were $0.20, compared to the $0.29 recorded in the third quarter of 2007. The annualized return on average equity (ROAE) and annualized return on average assets (ROAA) for the third quarter of 2008 were 12.73% and .89%, respectively, as compared to 17.36% and 1.51%, respectively, for the same period in 2007. The primary reasons for the decline in earnings for the third quarter ended September 30, 2008 are the increase in the level of the provision for loan losses, a decline in net interest income and in non interest income increased non interest expenses offset by decreases in the level of income taxes.

Table of Contents
We experienced a compression of the net interest margin of 54 basis points as yields on earning assets decreased 144 basis points while rates paid on interest bearing liabilities decreased 108 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. Additionally for the quarter ended September 30, 2008 we increased the provision for loan losses to $750,000 compared to $75,000 for the third quarter of 2007. Noninterest income also declined as the Company recognized a one-time pretax gain of approximately $730,000 from the sale of mortgage servicing rights during the third quarter of 2007. This was mitigated in 2008 by other increases in service charges on deposit accounts and other non-interest income.
Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was $3,169,000 which was a decrease of 37.5% from the $5,071,000 reported for the same period of 2007. Diluted earnings per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 were $0.44, compared to the $0.67 recorded for the same period 2007. The annualized (ROAE) and annualized return on average assets (ROAA) for the nine months ended 2008 were 9.21% and .74%, respectively, as compared to 14.15% and 1.19%, respectively, for the same period in 2007. The primary reasons for the decrease in net income for the nine month period is generally consistent with the discussion above for the third quarter as the net interest margin decreased 61 basis points from September 30, 2007 and increases in non interest expenses and the sale in 2007 of our mortgage servicing rights partially offset by increases in service charges on deposit accounts and other non-interest income.
Total assets of the Company increased by $19,708,000 3.4% from $580,620,000 at December 31, 2007 to $600,328,000 at September 30, 2008. Cash and cash equivalents decreased to $56,686,000 down $29,318,000, 34.1% as this decrease was used in conjunction with increased deposits as a funding source for the increase in loans. Net loans increased to $497,647,000, up $56,297,000, 12.8% from December 31, 2007. Deposit balances at September 30, 2008 increased to $533,369,000 up $32,378,000, 6.5% from December 31, 2007. Premises and equipment decreased to $7,277,000 down $10,628,000, 59.4% primarily due to the February 2008 sale leaseback of seven of our properties. Shareholder’s equity decreased to $40,672,000 down $10,302,000, 20.2% primarily due to the March 2008 tender offer to repurchase approximately 1,000,000 shares of common stock offset by the year to date net income.

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 5.26% for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 5.21% for the nine month period ending September 30, 2008 compared to 5.80% and 5.82% for the same periods ending September 30, 2007. Net interest income decreased $548,000 (7.2%) for the third quarter of 2008 compared to the same period in 2007. Net interest income decreased $1,893,000 (8.5%) for the nine months ended September 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. This was partially offset by the growth of and change in mix of our interest-earning assets as average balances of Federal funds declined and average balances of loans increased.
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 nine month periods ended September 30, 2008 compared to September 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 September 30, 2008 decreased by $1,225,000 from $10,450,000 at September 30, 2007 to $9,225,000. The average balance of loans increased from $465,502,000 to $502,417,000 and the interest rate earned decreased from 8.91% to 7.30%. Table Three shows the $1,225,000 decrease in interest income from loans was actually the result of an $826,000 increase in interest income from the higher balance of loans and $2,051,000 from the decrease in yields earned in the third 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.

Table Three sets forth a summary of the changes in interest income and interest expense from changes in average asset and liability balances (volume) and changes in average interest rates. On a quarter over quarter basis for the period ending September 30, 2008 net interest income has decreased $548,000 from the same time period in 2007. Interest income from earning assets has decreased by $1,656,000. Changes in the volume of earning assets, primarily loans, have resulted in an increase in interest income of $535,000 while interest income from changes in rates has decreased by $2,191,000. Interest expense for the third quarter of 2008 was $1,108,000 less than the same period in 2007. Changes in the volume of interest bearing liabilities, primarily the change in mix with an increase in balances of NOW, MMDA and time deposits and decreases in savings deposits and other borrowings, has resulted in a net increase of interest expense of $96,000. Decreases in average rates paid, on all deposit products have resulted in an interest expense decrease of $1,204,000.

Table of Contents
On a year-to-date basis through September 30, 2008, net interest income has decreased $1,893,000 from the total at September 30, 2007. Interest income from earning assets has decreased by $4,323,000. Changes in the volume of earning assets, primarily loans and federal funds sold have resulted in an increase in interest income of $960,000 while interest income from changes in rates has decreased by $5,283,000. Interest expense for the nine month period ending September 30, 2008 was $2,430,000 less than the total at September 30, 2007. Changes in the volume of interest bearing liabilities, primarily the increase in balances of NOW, MMDA, savings and time deposits, have resulted in a net increase of interest expense of $50,000. Decreases in average rates paid, on all deposit products have resulted in an interest expense decrease of $2,480,000.
The average balances of interest bearing liabilities of $450,080,000 were $15,210,000 (3.5%) higher in the third quarter of 2008 versus the same quarter in 2007. As interest bearing liability balances increased, rates paid on these liabilities decreased by 108 basis points on a quarter over quarter basis. As a result of both the decrease in interest rates and the volume and mix of interest bearing liabilities, interest expense was $1,108,000 (31.2%) lower in the third quarter versus the same period in 2007. The average balances of interest bearing liabilities were $5,045,000 (1.2%) higher in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2008 versus the same period in 2007. Rates paid on interest bearing liabilities decreased 78 basis points compared to the nine month period ended September 30, 2007.
As a result of the above, the Company’s net interest margin declined 54 basis points to 5.26% for the three months ended September 30, 2008 from 5.80% for the same period in the prior year. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008 the net interest margin declined 61 basis points to 5.21% compared to 5.82% for the same period in the prior year.

Table Four: Components of Non-interest Income
Non-interest income decreased by $114,000 (4.3%) to $2,539,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 as compared to $2,653,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2007. Increases in non-interest income were realized in fees from service charges (up 11.3%), and gains on the sale of loans (up 175%). Decreases were realized in loan servicing fees (down 16.8%), fees from alternative investment sales (down 11.1%), merchant fee income (down .10%), and other income (down 46.2%). The increase in service charge income was the result of additional deposit accounts opened during the third quarter throughout our system of branches. The gain on the sale of loans increased due to two large USDA (B&I) loans sold in the secondary market during the third quarter of 2008. Loan servicing fees decreased slightly as the volume of loans sold in the secondary market for which the Company retains servicing rights decreased. The Alternative Investment Department, which sells third-party mutual funds and annuities, experienced a decrease in fees of $12,000 due to fewer sales of investments during the third quarter as customers began depositing funds into insured accounts. Merchant fee income was lower in the third quarter due to a decrease in the volume of credit card sales. The decrease in the “Other” category was the result of the $730,000 pre-tax gain realized on the sale of mortgage servicing rights in the third quarter of 2007 discussed earlier. This was partially offset by commissions earned on sales of insurance policies and fees paid for payroll processing through our Business Services Division.
Non-interest income increased by $367,000 (5.8%) to $6,708,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 as compared to $6,341,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. Increases in non-interest income were realized in fees from service charges (up 14.1%), fees from alternative investment sales (up 50.8%), merchant fee income (up 2.6%), and gains on the sale of loans (up 14.0%). Decreases were realized in loan servicing fees (down 2.1%), and other income (down 12.9%). The increase in service charge income was the result of additional deposit accounts opened during the first nine months of the year throughout our system of branches. Fees from the sales of alternative investments and merchant fee income increased due to a higher volume of sales during the first nine months of 2008 as compared to the same time frame in 2007. The decrease in the “Other” category was the result of the sale of the mortgage servicing rights discussed above but partially offset by increases in commissions earned on sales of insurance policies and fees paid for payroll processing through our Business Services Division. Loan servicing fees decreased slightly as the volume of Government guaranteed loans sold in the secondary market for which the Company retains servicing rights decreased.

Non-interest Expense
Non-interest expense increased $387,000 (5.9%) from $6,569,000 in the third quarter of 2007 to $6,956,000 in the third quarter of 2008. Salary and employee benefits decreased by $98,000 (2.6%), largely due to slightly lower FTE (full time equivalent) employees and lower than budgeted bonus accruals. On a quarter over quarter basis, occupancy expenses were higher by $251,000 (52.7%) which is related to the rents now being paid on seven buildings the Company sold in the first quarter of 2008 and is now leasing back. This expense is partially offset by the reduction of the depreciation on those seven buildings. Other increases were realized in utilities, landscape maintenance, janitorial services and property taxes. Furniture and equipment expense was $668,000 in the third quarter of 2008 compared to $586,000 in the same period of 2007, representing a 14% increase. This increase relates to the depreciation recorded on new equipment as well as new technology software and hardware. Other expenses increased $152,000 (9.1%) from $1,680,000 to $1,832,000 in the third quarter of 2008 versus the third quarter of 2007. This increase was attributed to higher telephone, postage and insurance costs as well as increased advertising and promotion costs.
Non-interest expense increased $737,000 (3.70%) from $19,933,000 in the first nine months of 2007 to $20,669,000 in the first nine months of 2008. Salaries and benefits decreased by $699,000 (6.3%) due to lower FTE as staffing levels have been reduced through attrition and lower than budgeted bonus accruals. On a year over year basis, full time equivalent employees decreased by 5 to 259. Occupancy expense was up $698,000 (49.2%) from the first nine months of 2007 to the first nine months of 2008 due to increases in utilities, landscape maintenance, janitorial services and property taxes as well as increased rents related to the sale and lease back of the seven buildings the Company sold in the first quarter of 2008. This expense is partially offset by the reduction of the depreciation on those seven buildings. Other increases were realized in furniture and equipment expense which was up $295,000 (17.7%) from the first nine months of 2007 to the first nine months of 2008 due to the depreciation recorded on new equipment as well as new technology software and hardware. Other expenses increased by $442,000 (8.7%). This increase was attributable to higher telephone, postage and insurance costs as well as increased advertising and promotion costs.
Provision for Loan Losses
The Company provided $750,000 for loan losses in the third quarter of 2008. In the third quarter of 2007 the Company provided $75,000 for loan losses. Net loan charge-offs for the third quarter of 2008 and 2007 were $418,000 and $11,000 respectively. For the first nine months of 2008, the Company recorded provisions for loan losses of $1,425,000 which compared to $150,000 for the first nine months of 2007. Net loan charge-offs for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and September 30, 2007 were $638,000 and $19,000 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 third quarter and first nine months of 2008 was 30.2% and 37.1%, versus 39.3% and 40.8% for the same periods in 2007. During the third quarter of 2008 we recorded a tax provision adjustment related to our method of calculation as it related to a California Affordable Housing Fund (“CAHF”) investment which resulted in reduction in our income tax provision.
Balance Sheet Analysis
The Company’s total assets were $600,328,000 at September 30, 2008 up $19,708,000 (3.4%) from $580,620,000 at December 31, 2007. On a year over year basis, the average balance of total assets for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was $572,206,000, which represents an increase of $3,414,000 (.60%) over the $568,792,000 during the nine-month period ended September 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 September 30, 2008, these principal areas accounted for approximately 17%, 47%, 15%, 8% and 13%, 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 occurred in the commercial, agricultural and consumer loan types. Increases in loan balances from December 31, 2007 were achieved for commercial loans of $7,774,000 or (10.0%), commercial and residential mortgage real estate loans

of $28,576,000 or (13.7%), agricultural loans of $16,519,000 or (65.1%), consumer loans of $10,029,000 or (18.6%). Real estate construction loans decreased $5,936,000 or (7.2%) over the same period. Table Five below summarizes the composition of the loan portfolio as of September 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.
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;
22
Table of Contents
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 62.1% of the Company’s loan portfolio at September 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 September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007. There were no loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest at September 30, 2008 or December 31, 2007.

Real estate | | 7,940 | | 253 | |

Total non-performing loans | | $ | 8,191 | | $ | 253 | |
At September 30, 2008, there were fourteen non-performing loans which were considered to be impaired. There was one consumer loan that is secured by a motor home that has been repossessed and is currently for sale. Management has allocated an $8,000 specific valuation allowance on this impaired loan. There were three non-performing commercial loans, for a total amount of $170,000 two of which have 80% SBA guarantees. The unguaranteed portion of these two loans has been charged off and the balances have been submitted to the SBA for payment. The remaining commercial loan was for a dump truck that has been repossessed and is for sale. There are no specific reserves for these three loans. There were ten non-performing real estate loans for a total amount of $7,940,000. One of these loans in the amount of $5,000,000 has an 80% government guarantee and is collateralized by a residential care facility. Five of the other nine non-performing real estate loans are land loans for a total of $1,111,000 that the Company is working with the borrowers in attempts to sell the underlying properties collateralizing the loans. The remaining four non-performing real estate loans for a total amount of $1,829,000 are for residential properties the Company is working with the borrowers to sell these properties. The Company received current appraisals on all of these properties collateralizing these loans and as a result has charged off a total of $245,000. There is an additional $86,000 in specific reserves for these real estate loans.
There were no loan concentrations in excess of 10% of total loans not otherwise disclosed as a category of loans as of September 30, 2008 or December 31, 2007. Management is not aware of any potential problem loans, which were accruing and

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 September 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 $6,524,000 or 1.29% of total loans at September 30, 2008 and $5,232,000 or 1.17% at December 31, 2007. Net charge-offs for the quarter and nine month period ended September 30, 2008 were $418,000 and $638,000 respectively.
Table Seven below summarizes, for the periods indicated, the activity in the allowance for loan losses.

Allowance for loan losses to loans net of deferred fees at end of period | | 1.29 | % | 1.15 | % | 1.29 | % | 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
As of September 30, 2008 the Company had a total carrying value of $1,521,000 in assets classified as other real estate (“ORE”) which are included in accrued interest receivable and other assets on the Company’s balance sheet. These assets consist of nine single family residential lots, two single family residences and one multifamily residence. 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 $45,000 due to the lack of buyer activity. Four lots are located in Mt. Shasta City and are listed with a local realtor. The listing price has been reduced by $60,000 to $530,000 as the realtor has stated there have been very few sales in the area. The carrying value of the properties is $450,000 with the most recent appraisal value of $640,000. There are two single family residential lots in Red Bluff with an appraised value of $100,000 for which we have potential buyers. The final lot is in Lake Commanche, California and we are looking for a broker to list this property. The property has been written down by $55,000 to reflect its value based on a recent appraisal. The first of the two single family residences is located in Paradise and has a recent appraisal that supports the current carrying value of the property. Minor repairs have been completed and the Company is marketing this property. The second single family residence is in Yuba City. Repairs are almost complete on this residence and it will be marketed for sale in the near future. This property has been written down by $54,000. The final multifamily property is a duplex in Sacramento which was under construction at the time the Company took it into ORE. We are currently evaluating the completion costs to determine whether to complete the project or sell as is. At December 31, 2007, the Company did not have any ORE properties.

Property and Equipment
At September 30, 2008, total premises and equipment were $7,277,000 representing a decrease of $10,628,000 (59.4%) over the December 31, 2007 balance of $17,905,000. This decrease is primarily due to the Company selling and simultaneously entered into long-term operating lease agreements on seven of its properties in February 2008. The book value of the properties was approximately $9,700,000 and proceeds from the sale were approximately $15,300,000 resulting in a net gain of approximately $5,600,000 which is being deferred and recognized over the 15 year term of the leases. At September 30, 2008, amortization of the deferred revenue totaled $233,000, with the remaining deferred revenue of approximately $5,370,000 is included in accrued interest and other liabilities.
Deposits
At September 30, 2008, total deposits were $533,369,000 representing an increase of $32,378,000 (6.5%) over the December 31, 2007 balance of $500,991,000. We have experienced a decrease in the level of our non-interest bearing demand deposits in the first nine months of 2008 (down $4.1 million). We have seen an increase in the interest bearing checking, money market, and savings accounts (up $8.9 million), and an increase in certificates of deposit (up $27.6 million) which includes $22.9 million in brokered deposits.
The Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 included a provision for an increase in the amount of deposits insured by the FDIC to $250,000. If not renewed, the additional FDIC insurance provision expires December 31, 2009. On October 14, 2008, the FDIC announced a new program — the Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program that provides unlimited deposit insurance on funds in noninterest-bearing transaction deposit accounts not otherwise covered by the existing deposit insurance limit of $250,000. All eligible institutions will be covered under the program for the first 30 days without incurring any costs. After the initial period, participating institutions will be assessed a 10 basis point surcharge on the additional insured deposits.
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.
At September 30, 2008 shareholder’s equity was $40,672,000 representing a decrease of $10,302,000 (20.2%) over the December 31, 2007 balance of $50,974,000. The decrease is primarily due to the March 2008 tender offer, and the payment of cash dividends offset by the proceeds from the loan from a correspondent bank, exercise of stock options and the year to date net income.
In March 2008, Community Valley Bancorp announced an offer to purchase up to 1,000,000 shares of its common stock at a purchase price of $13.00. Based on the final count by the depositary for the tender offer, shareholders properly tendered 1,572,907 shares of its common stock. The Board of Directors of Community Valley Bancorp elected to not exercise its oversubscription privileges in the tender offer to purchase more than 1,000,000 properly tendered shares and purchased a total of 999,939 shares at $13.00 per share, representing a pro-rata share of the tendered shares of 63.38%, on May 5, 2008.
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, 7.30% at September 30, 2008.
The Board of Directors of the Company authorized the payment of quarterly cash dividends totaling $0.32 per share for 2007 and $0.08, $0.04 and $0.04 per share for the first, second, and third quarters respectively in 2008. 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. The Bank’s ratio of total risk-based capital to risk adjusted assets was 10.4% at June 30, 2008 and 11.4% at December 31, 2007. Tier 1 risk-based capital to risk-adjusted assets was 9.1% at September 30, 2008 and 10.4 at December 31, 2007.

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 September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007. The Bank was considered “well-capitalized” by regulatory standards, at September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007.
On October 3, 2008, President Bush signed into law the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (the “EESA”). Pursuant to the EESA, the Secretary of the Treasury was authorized to establish the Troubled Asset Relief Program (“TARP”) and to invest in financial institutions and purchase mortgages, mortgage-backed securities and certain other financial instruments from financial institutions, in an aggregate amount up to $700 billion, for the purpose of stabilizing and providing liquidity to the U.S. financial markets. On October 14, 2008, the United States Department of the Treasury (the “UST”) announced a Capital Purchase Program (“CPP”) to invest up to $250 billion of this $700 billion amount in certain eligible U.S. banks, thrifts and their holding companies in the form of non-voting, senior preferred stock. Bank holding companies and banks eligible to participate as a Qualifying Financial Institution (“QFI”) in the CPP will be expected to comply with certain standardized terms and conditions specified by the UST, including the following:
· | Submission of an application prior to November 14, 2008 to the QFI’s Federal banking regulator to obtain preliminary approval to participate in the CPP; |
· | If the QFI receives preliminary approval, it will have 30 days within which to submit final documentation and fulfill any outstanding requirements; |
· | The minimum amount of capital eligible for purchase by the UST under the CPP is 1 percent of the Total Risk-Weighted Assets of the QFI and the maximum is the lesser of (i) an amount equal to 3 percent of the Total Risk-Weighted Assets of the QFI or (ii) $25 billion; |
· | Capital acquired by a QFI under the CPP will be accorded Tier 1 capital treatment; |
· | The preferred stock issued to the UST will be non-voting (except in the case of class votes), senior perpetual preferred stock that ranks senior to common stock and pari passu with existing preferred stock (except junior preferred stock); |
· | In addition to the preferred stock, the UST will be issued warrants to acquire shares of the QFI’s common stock equal in value to 15 percent of the amount of capital purchased by the UST; |
· | Dividends on the preferred stock are payable to the UST at the rate of 5% per annum for the first 5 years and 9% per annum thereafter; |
· | Subject to certain exceptions and other requirements, no redemption of the preferred stock is permitted during the first 3 years; |
· | Certain restrictions on the payment of dividends to shareholders of the QFI shall remain in effect while the preferred stock purchased by the UST is outstanding; |
· | Any repurchase of QFI shares will require the consent of the UST, subject to certain exceptions; |
· | The preferred shares are not subject to any contractual restrictions on transfer; and |

Table of Contents
· | The QFI must agree to be bound by certain executive compensation and corporate governance requirements and senior executive officers must agree to certain compensation restrictions. |
The Company and the Bank meet all of their capital requirements and the Bank is considered well capitalized. The Company’s capital position and other liquidity sources provide deposit customers with an important level of safety and confidence in the Company that is essential in these uncertain economic times. While management is currently evaluating the TARP Capital Purchase Program, the Company’s Board of Directors has authorized management to submit an application to participate in the program. The Company will continue to evaluate its position.
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 of Contents
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.
In an inflationary environment, people tend to reduce overall spending and begin to save more. But as individuals and businesses curtail expenditures in an effort to trim costs; this causes the gross domestic product (GDP) to decline. Unemployment rates rise because companies lay off workers to cut costs. It is these combined factors that cause the economy to fall into a recession. The current economic slow down evidenced negative growth in GDP for the third quarter.
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 September 30, 2008, consolidated liquid assets totaled $59.3 million or 9.9% 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 September 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 September 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 September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007 were approximately $155,872,000 and $190,700,000, 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 31.3% and 43.1%, respectively.
