In May 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Statement No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections” (“SFAS No. 154”). Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 154 provides guidance on the accounting for and reporting of accounting changes and error corrections. It establishes, unless impracticable, retrospective application as the required method for reporting a change in accounting principle in the absence of explicit transition requirements specific to the newly adopted accounting principle. SFAS No. 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 154 to have a material impact on the financial condition or operating results of the Company.
In December 2004, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 123R “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS No. 123R”), which is a revision to FASB Statement No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS No. 123”). SFAS No. 123R addresses the accounting for transactions in which an enterprise receives employee services in exchange for (a) equity instruments of the enterprise or (b) liabilities that are based on the fair value of the enterprise’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of such equity instruments. SFAS No. 123R eliminates the ability of enterprises to account for share-based compensation transactions using Accounting Principles Board Opinion (“APB”) No. 25 and, as a general matter, will require that such transactions be accounted for, instead, using a fair-value-based method. The statement does not change the accounting in SFAS No. 123, for transactions in which an enterprise exchanges its equity instruments for services of parties other than employees or the accounting for employee stock ownership plans, which are subject to American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“AICPA”) Statement of Position 93-6, “Employers’ Accounting for Employee Stock Ownership Plans”. The phase-in period for SFAS No. 123R, as amended April 14, 2005 by the SEC, is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. Accordingly, the Company will begin accounting for stock-based compensation based on this new pronouncement on January 1, 2006.

NOTE #4—DISCLOSURES ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The fair values of financial instruments for both assets and liabilities are estimated based on Accounting Standards Board Statement 107. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments.
Investment Securities
For U.S. Government and U.S. Agency securities, fair values are based on market prices. For other investment securities, fair value equals quoted market price if available. If a quoted market price is not available, fair value is estimated using quoted market prices for similar securities as the basis for a pricing matrix.
Loans
The fair value for loans with variable interest rates is the carrying amount . The fair value of fixed rate loans is derived by calculating the discounted value of the future cash flows expected to be received by the various homogeneous categories of loans. All loans have been adjusted to reflect changes in credit risk.
Deposits
The fair value of demand deposits, savings deposits, savings accounts and NOW accounts is defined as the amounts payable on demand at June 30, 2005. The fair value of fixed maturity certificates of deposit is estimated based on the discounted value of the future cash flows expected to be paid on the deposits.
Notes Payable
Rates currently available to the Bank for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities are used to estimate the fair value of existing debt.
Commitments to Extend Credit and Standby Letters of Credit
The fair value of commitments to extend credit is estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the present creditworthiness of the parties involved. For fixed-rate loan commitments, fair value also takes into account the difference between current levels of interest rates and committed rates.
The fair values of guarantees and letters of credit are based on fees currently charged for similar agreements or on the estimated cost to terminate them or otherwise settle the obligations with parties involved at June 30, 2005.

NOTE #5—NON-PERFORMING LOANS(continued)
We review the loan portfolio on a regular basis to identify problem loans. The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve Board (the “FRB” or “Federal Reserve Board”) and the California Department of Financial Institutions (the “DFI”), which are the Bank’s principal federal and state regulatory agencies, respectively, also identify and classify problem loans during their periodic regulatory examinations of the Bank and their loan classifications may differ from those made by management. There are three classifications for problem loans: “substandard”, “doubtful”, and “loss”. Substandard loans have well defined weaknesses and are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Doubtful loans have the weaknesses of substandard loans with the additional weaknesses that make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values, questionable. A loan classified as “loss” is considered uncollectible and of such little value that the continuance as an asset of the institution is not warranted. Another category designated “special mention” is maintained for loans which do not currently expose the Bank to a significant degree of risk to warrant classification as substandard, doubtful or loss, but which do possess credit deficiencies or potential weaknesses deserving management’s close attention.
The following table sets forth the amounts, by classification category, of the Bank’s classified loans at:
| | | |
At June 30, 2005
|
Loan Classification
| | Amount
|
| | (in thousands) |
Substandard | | $ | 1,615 |
Doubtful | | | 0 |
Loss | | | 0 |
Of the loans classified substandard at June 30, 2005, $1,495,000 were performing and accruing loans and the remaining $120,000 was a non-accrual loan, on which we had ceased accruing interest.
NOTE #6—RESERVE FOR LOAN AND LEASE LOSSES
The reserve for loan and lease losses is a general reserve established to absorb potential losses inherent in the entire loan and lease portfolio. The level (and ratio) of additions to the reserve are based on analyses that we conduct of the loan and lease portfolio. At June 30, 2005, the reserve reflected an amount, which, in our judgment, was adequate to provide for potential loan losses. In evaluating the adequacy of the reserve, we consider a number of factors, including the composition of the loan portfolio, the performance of loans in the portfolio, evaluations of loan collateral, prior loss experience, current economic conditions and trends and the financial prospects and worth of the respective borrowers or loan guarantors. In addition, the FRB and the DFI, as part of their periodic examinations of the Bank, review the adequacy of the Bank’s reserve for possible loan and lease losses. On the basis of those examinations, those agencies may require the Bank to recognize additions to the reserve. We were most recently examined by the DFI as of December 31, 2004.
The reserve for loan and lease losses at June 30, 2005, was $5,027,000, or 0.98% of total loans and leases. Additions to the reserve are made through the provision for loan losses which is an operating expense of the Company.

NOTE #7—MARKET RISK
We use the results of a dynamic simulation model to quantify the estimated exposure of net interest income to sustained interest rate changes. The simulation model estimates the impact of changing interest rates on the interest income from all interest earning assets and the interest expense paid on all interest bearing liabilities reflected on the Company’s balance sheet. This sensitivity analysis is compared to policy limits which specify maximum tolerance level for net interest income exposure over a one year horizon, assuming no balance sheet growth and upward and downward shifts in interest rates of 100, 200 and 300 basis point, respectively. A parallel and pro rata shift in rates over a 12-month period is assumed.
The following reflects the Company’s net interest income sensitivity analysis as of June 30, 2005 (with dollars stated in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | |

-300 basis points | | -2.11 | % | | $ | 850,851 | | $ | 727,197 |
The extent to which our net interest margin will be impacted by changes in prevailing interests rates will depend on a number of factors, including how quickly rate sensitive assets and liabilities react to interest rate changes, the mix of our interest-earning assets (loans versus other interest earning assets, such as securities) and the mix of our interest bearing deposits (between for example, lower interest core deposits and higher cost time certificates of deposit) and our other interest bearing liabilities. It is not uncommon for rates on certain assets or liabilities to lag behind changes in market rates of interest. Additionally, prepayments of loans and securities available for sale, and early withdrawals of certificates of deposit, could cause the interest sensitivities to vary. Additionally, the rate sensitivity analysis set forth in the table above assumes that we would make no changes in the mix of our interest earning assets or interest bearing liabilities in response to changes in the interest rate environment, which is not consistent with our practices.
We do not engage in any hedging activities and do not have any derivative securities.

ITEM 2. | MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS |
General
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements, and the footnotes thereto, contained earlier in this Report and the statements regarding forward-looking information and the uncertainties that could affect our future performance described below in this Report.
Our principal operating subsidiary is Foothill Independent Bank (the “Bank”), which is a California state chartered bank and a member of the Federal Reserve System. The Bank accounts for substantially all of our consolidated revenues and income and owns substantially all of our consolidated assets. Accordingly, the following discussion focuses primarily on the Bank’s operations and financial condition.
Forward-Looking Statements
This Section of the Report includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”) and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”). Those Sections of the 1933 Act and 1934 Act provide a “safe harbor” for forward-looking statements to encourage companies to provide prospective information about their financial performance, so long as they also provide meaningful, cautionary statements identifying important factors that could cause actual results to differ significantly from projected or anticipated future results. Forward-looking statements often include the words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “estimate,” “project,” or words of similar meaning, or future or conditional verbs such as “will,” “would,” “should,” “could,” or “may.” Other than statements of historical fact, all statements in this Report and, in particular, any projections of or statements as to our expectations or beliefs concerning our future financial performance or future financial condition or as to trends in our business or in our markets, are forward-looking statements. Our actual results in future periods may differ significantly from the expectations and beliefs about our future financial performance or financial condition contained in those statements. This Section of this Report, entitled “MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS” and the subsections below entitled, respectively, “Critical Accounting Policies” and “Risks and Uncertainties That Could Affect Our Future Financial Performance,” describe some of the factors that could cause these differences, and should be read in their entirety.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and general practices in the banking industry. The information contained within our financial statements is, to a significant extent, based on approximate measures of the financial effects of transactions and events that have already occurred. However, the carrying values at which we record some of our assets are based on estimates and the judgments we must make about anticipated events or economic conditions or trends, over which we do not have control. If the economic conditions or trends on which we based our estimates and judgments unexpectedly change or other unanticipated events were to occur, we may have to reduce the values at which we had recorded those assets in our financial statements, which could cause our future financial condition or our financial performance to differ, possibly materially, from our previously expected results.
Judgments Regarding Reserves for Potential Loan Losses. In particular, the accounting policies we follow in determining the sufficiency of the reserves we establish for possible loan losses involve judgments and assumptions by management about economic and market trends and about the financial condition of our borrowers. Since loans represent the largest component of our total assets, these judgments and assumptions can have a significant effect on the amount of our reported assets as set forth on our balance sheet. Those judgments and assumptions also determine the amount of the provision we make for possible loan losses and, therefore, also can have a significant effect on our operating results. See “RESULTS OF OPERATION—Provision for Loan Losses” below in this Section of this Report. If conditions or circumstances change from those that were expected at the time those judgments and assumptions were made, it could become necessary to increase the Loan Loss Reserve by making additional provisions for loan losses, which would have the effect of reducing our earnings. Additionally, to the extent those conditions or events were to result in loan charge-offs, the total amount of our reported loans would decline as well.
13
Utilization of Deferred Income Tax Benefits. The provision that we make for income taxes is based on, among other things, our ability to use certain income tax benefits available under state and federal income tax laws to reduce our income tax liability. As of June 30, 2005, the total of the unused income tax benefits (referred to in our consolidated financial statements as a “deferred tax asset”), available to reduce our income taxes in future periods was $3,679,000. Unless used, such tax benefits expire over time. Therefore, the realization of those benefits is dependent on our generating taxable income in the future in amounts sufficient to enable us to use those tax benefits prior to their expiration. We have made a judgment, based on historical experience and current and anticipated market and economic conditions and trends, that it is more likely than not that we will generate taxable income in future years sufficient to fully utilize those benefits. In the event that our income were to decline in future periods making it less likely that those benefits could be fully utilized, we would be required to establish a valuation reserve to cover the potential loss of those tax benefits by increasing the provision we make for income taxes, which would have the effect of reducing our net income.
Results of Operations
Overview. As a general matter, one of the principal determinants of a bank’s income is its net interest income, which is the difference between the interest that a bank earns on loans, investments and other interest-earning assets, and its interest expense, which consists primarily of the interest it must pay to attract and retain deposits and the interest that it pays on other interest-bearing liabilities. A bank’s interest income and interest expense are, in turn, affected by a number of factors, some of which are outside of its control, including the monetary policies of the Federal Reserve Board, national and local economic conditions, and competition from other depository institutions and financial services companies, which affect interest rates and also the demand for loans and the ability of borrowers to meet their loan payment obligations.
The following table sets forth information regarding the interest income that we generated, the interest expense that we incurred, and our net interest income, net earnings and net interest margin in six months and quarters ended June 30, 2005 and 2004:

On June 30, 2004, the Federal Reserve Board increased targeted interest rates by one-quarter percent, the first such increase in three and one-half years, and indicated an intention to continue such increases at a “measured pace.” As a result, on nine subsequent occasions, through June 30, 2005, the Federal Reserve Board increased those rates, each time by another one-quarter percent. Those increases, in turn, led to increases in the prime rate of interest to its current level of 6.25% and contributed to the improvement, as shown in the above table, in our net interest margin for the six and three month periods ended June 30, 2005. Current forecasts of interest rates are projecting the prime rate of interest to increase further to 6.75% or 7.0% by December 31, 2005. If interest rates do increase as forecast, we expect that our net interest margin and, therefore, also our net interest income will increase modestly during the remainder of the current fiscal year ending December 31, 2005.

Net Interest Income. The following table sets forth our interest income, interest expense and net interest income, and net yields on our interest-earning assets, for the six and three month periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004. As indicated by that table, our tax-adjusted net interest income increased by $3.1 million, or 19.6%, in the six months ended June 30, 2005 to $18.8 million, from $15.8 million, for the same six months of 2004. And, in the three-months ended June 30, 2005, our tax-adjusted net interest income increased by $1.8 million, or 23.7%, to $9.6 million, from $8.7 million in the same three months of 2004. As the table indicates, those increases were primarily attributable to the increases in interest income in the six and three month periods ended June 30, 2005, which more than offset increases in interest expense during those periods.

Increase in Interest Income. The increases in interest income in the six and three month periods ended June 30, 2005, as compared to the same periods last year, were primarily attributable to (i) increases in the average volume of loans and investment securities outstanding during those periods, as compared to the same respective periods of 2004, and (ii) to a lesser extent, increases in prevailing rates of interest.
Increase in Interest Expense. The increases in interest expense in the six and three month periods ended June 30, 2005 were primarily attributable to increases in the average volume of short-term borrowings during those periods, as compared to the same periods of 2004, and, to a lesser extent, to increases in the average volume of interest-bearing deposits.
Rate Sensitivity, Net Interest Margins and Market Risk
Rate Sensitivity. Like other banking organizations, our net interest margin, which is the difference between the interest we earn on our loans and other interest earning assets, on the one hand, and the interest we pay on deposits and
15
other interest-bearing liabilities, on the other hand, and which determines our net interest income, is affected by a number of factors, including the relative percentages or the “mix” of:
| • | | our assets, between loans, on the one hand, on which we are able to obtain higher rates of interest, and investment securities, federal funds sold and funds held in interest-bearing deposits with other financial institutions, on the other hand, on which yields are generally lower; |
| • | | demand, savings and money market deposits (core deposits), on the one hand, and higher priced time deposits, on the other hand; and |
| • | | variable and fixed rate loans in our loan portfolio. |
Impact of Changes in the Mix of Earning Assets and Interest Bearing Liabilities. In the six and three month periods ended June 30, 2005, we increased our loan volume and the volume of investment securities, as compared to the corresponding periods of 2004. Those increases were funded by a combination of increases in deposits and reductions in lower yielding interest-earning assets, such as federal funds sold and funds held in interest-bearing deposits at other banks. As a result, higher yielding loans and investment securities represented a higher proportion of our total assets in the six and three month periods ended June 30, 2005, than in the same respective periods of 2004, which was the principal factor that contributed to the increases in interest income and net interest income in the six and three months ended June 30,2005.
Impact on Net Interest Margins of the Mix of Demand, Savings and Time Deposits. In a period of declining market rates of interest, all other things being equal, a bank with a greater proportion of demand and savings accounts, as compared to time deposits, is likely to have, at least for the short term, a higher net interest margin than a bank with a greater proportion of time deposits, because a bank must wait for its time deposits to mature before it can implement reductions in the rates of interest it must pay on those deposits in response to declining market rates of interest. By contrast, such reductions can be implemented more quickly on savings and money market deposits. On the other hand, in a period of increasing market rates of interest, all other things being equal, a bank with a higher proportion of time deposits will generally have, at least for the short term, a higher interest margin than a bank with a higher proportion of savings deposits and a lower proportion of time deposits, because a bank need not increase the interest it pays on its time deposits until they mature, while it will usually have to increase its interest rates on savings and money market deposits to be able to retain them in response to increasing market rates of interest and competition from other depository institutions.

Impact on Net Interest Margins of the Mix of Fixed and Variable Rate Loans. As a general rule, in an interest rate environment characterized by declining interest rates, a bank with a relatively high percentage of variable rate loans will experience a decline in its net interest margins, because those loans will “reprice” automatically when market rates of interest decline. By contrast, a bank with a large proportion of fixed rates loans generally will experience an increase in net interest margins, because the interest rates on those fixed rate loans will not decline in response to declines in market rates of interest. In a period of increasing interest rates, however, the interest margin of a bank with a high proportion of fixed rate loans generally will suffer because it will be unable to “reprice” those loans to fully offset the increases in the rates of interest it must offer to retain maturing time deposits and attract new deposits. A bank with a higher proportion of variable loans in an environment of increasing market rates of interest, on the other hand, will be able to offset more fully the impact of rising rates of interest on the amounts it must pay to retain existing and attract new deposits.
However, the mix of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities, the mix of deposits and the mix between fixed rate and variable rate loans interact with each other in terms of their effects on a bank’s net interest margin and net interest income. For example, a bank with a higher proportion of no-cost and low cost core deposits can afford and may choose, during a period of increasing interest rates, to offer fixed rates loans as a means of increasing its loan volume and establishing new deposit relationships, particularly in a highly competitive lending market.
Market Risk and Net Interest Margin.
As is demonstrated by the impact that reductions in market rates of interest had on our net interest margin during the three- year period that ended in June 2004, our net interest margin and, therefore, our net interest income and net earnings are affected by changes in market rates of interest (which we sometimes refer to as “market risk”). We attempt to reduce our exposure to market risk associated with interest rate fluctuations by seeking (i) to attract and maintain a significant volume of core deposits, consisting of demand, savings and money market deposits, that are not as sensitive to interest rate fluctuations as are time deposits, (ii) to change the mix of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities in a manner that is designed to achieve increases in net interest income, and (iii) to match opportunities to “reprice” interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities in response to changes in market rates of interest.
In an effort to counteract the downward pressure on net interest margins that occurred as a result of decreasing market rates of interest during the three year period that ended June 30, 2004, we initiated and have continued sales and marketing programs that are designed (i) to increase the volume of our loans, on which yields are higher than other earning assets, and (ii) to attract lower cost and less volatile core deposits, on which we pay lower rates of interest than on higher priced time deposits, in order to reduce our interest expense.
As a result of these measures:
| • | | the average volume of outstanding loans at June 30, 2005 was $45.4 million, or 10%, greater than at June 30, 2004; |
| • | | the average volume of our core deposits increased to 90% of average total deposits in the six months ended June 30, 2005 from 89% in the same six months of 2004; and |
| • | | time deposits (including those in denominations of $100,000 or more) declined, as a percentage of average total deposits, to 10% in the six months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to 11% in the same period of 2004. |
Also contributing to the improvement in our net interest margin was our decision, implemented in the second quarter of 2005, to allow some of the maturing higher priced, longer term time deposits and more expensive money market deposits to run off, rather than seeking their renewal. In their place, we used some brokered deposits to meet our short-term liquidity needs. As a result, at June 30, 2005 the volume of time deposits was 13% higher than at June 30 2004. However, since the brokered deposits were of a short term nature, as noted above, average time deposits decreased in the six months ended June 30, 2005 and we believe that this action will contribute to further improvements in our net interest margin during the balance of 2005.
As a result of all of these measures, our net interest margin (that is, tax-adjusted net interest income stated as a percentage of average interest-earning assets) increased to 5.04% and 5.21%, respectively, in the six and three month periods ending June 30, 2005, compared to 4.79% and 4.65%, respectively, for the same periods of 2004. Those increases were primarily attributable to increases in the average volume of loans and investment securities, which represented a higher percentage of our total interest-earning assets in the six and three month periods of 2005 than in the same respective periods of 2004; and, to a lesser extent, increases in market rates of interest during the first six months
17
of 2005, that were largely attributable to actions taken by the Federal Reserve Bank to increase prevailing market rates of interest, and our success in attracting and maintaining a high proportion of no-cost and lower cost core deposits. We believe that our net interest margin continues to exceed the average net interest margin for California-based, publicly traded banks and bank holding companies with assets ranging from $500 million to $1 billion (“Peer Group Banks”), largely because we have been able to maintain the ratio of demand and savings deposits to total deposits at a higher level than that of our Peer Group Banks.
Assuming continued modest economic growth and gradual increases in market rates of interest, we currently expect that we will be able to achieve modest loan growth, without having to increase time deposits as a percentage of total deposits, and a modest improvement in our net interest margin, during the balance of the current fiscal year. However, depending on loan demand and interest rates, we may find it necessary or prudent to increase time deposits or increase short-term borrowing in order to fund increases in loan volume.
Additionally, the ability to maintain our net interest margin is not entirely within our control because the interest rates we are able to charge on loans and the interest rates we must offer to maintain and attract deposits are affected by national monetary policies established and implemented by the Federal Reserve Board and by competitive conditions in our service areas.
Moreover, the effect on a bank’s net interest margin of changes in market rates of interest is affected by the types and maturities of its deposits and earning assets. For example, a change in interest rates paid on deposits in response to changes in market rates of interest can be implemented more quickly in the case of savings deposits and money market accounts than with respect to time deposits as to which a change in interest rates generally cannot be implemented until those deposits mature. Also, a change in rates of interest paid on deposits can and often does lead consumers to move their deposits from one type of deposit to another or to shift funds from deposits to non-bank investments or from such investments to bank deposit accounts or instruments, which will affect a bank’s net interest margin.
There also are a number of uncertainties and risks that could adversely affect our net interest margin during the balance of 2005, including increased competition in our market areas, both from banks and other types of financial services institutions, as well as from securities brokerage firms and mutual funds that offer competing investment products. See “—Risks and Uncertainties That Could Affect Our Future Financial Performance” below.
Provision for Loan Losses. Like virtually all banking organizations, we follow the practice of maintaining a reserve (the “Loan Loss Reserve”) for possible losses on loans and leases that occur from time to time as an incidental part of the banking business. When it is determined that payment in full of a loan has become unlikely, the carrying value of the loan is reduced to what management estimates is its realizable value. This reduction, which is referred to as a loan “charge-off,” or “write-down” is charged against and, to that extent, reduces the amount of the Loan Loss Reserve. That Reserve is increased periodically (i) to replenish the Reserve after it has been reduced due to loan charge-offs or write-downs, (ii) to reflect increases in the volume of outstanding loans, and (iii) to take account of increases in the risk of potential losses due to a deterioration in the condition of borrowers or in the value of property securing non-performing loans, or due to adverse changes in national or local economic conditions. Those increases are made through a charge against income referred to as the “provision for loan and lease losses.” Recoveries of loans previously charged-off are added back to and, to that extent, increase the Loan Loss Reserve and, therefore, may reduce the amount of the provision that we would need to make in order to maintain the Loan Loss Reserve at a level that we believe is adequate.
We employ economic models that are based on bank regulatory guidelines and industry standards to evaluate and determine the adequacy of the Loan Loss Reserve and, therefore, also the amount of the provision that we make for potential loan losses. However, those determinations involve judgments and assumptions about economic trends and other circumstances that are subject to a number of uncertainties, some of which are outside of our ability to control. See the discussion below under“Risks and Uncertainties that Could Affect Our Future Financial Performance”. Since loans represent the largest portion of our total assets, these judgments and assumptions can have a significant effect on the amount of our reported assets as set forth on our balance sheet. Those judgments also determine the amount of the provisions we make for possible loan losses. If economic conditions or trends or other circumstances change, in an adverse manner, from those that were expected at the time those judgments or assumptions were made, it could become necessary to increase the Loan Loss Reserve by making additional provisions for loan losses, which could adversely
18
affect our operating results. Additionally, to the extent those conditions or events were to result in loan charge-offs, the total amount of our reported loans would decline as well.
One circumstance that could affect the adequacy of our Loan Loss Reserve would be an adverse change in the financial condition of some of our borrowers. As a result, we review trends in loan delinquencies and in non-accrual loans as indicators of the financial condition of our borrowers. An increase in loan delinquencies or non-accrual loans would indicate that some of our borrowers are encountering financial difficulties; while a decline in loan delinquencies and, particularly in non-accrual loans, would suggest that borrowers are not encountering such financial problems.
Set forth below is information, as of June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, regarding loans more than 90 days past due, loans that have been renegotiated due to financial difficulties encountered by the borrowers, and non-accrual loans (which we refer to, collectively, as “non-performing loans”):

We did not make any provisions for potential loan losses in the three or six month periods ended June 30, 2005, because we concluded, based on our review of the quality of our loans and economic and market trends, that our Loan Loss Reserve remained adequate to cover possible future loan losses. At June 30, 2005, the Loan Loss Reserve was approximately $5,027,000 or 0.98% of total loans outstanding, compared to $5,016,000, or 1.01% of total loans outstanding, at December 31, 2004 and $4,989,000 or 1.05% of total loans outstanding at June 30, 2004.

Even though the volume of our deposits increased, during the six and three-month periods ended June 30, 2005 transaction fees and service charges collected on deposit accounts declined by 16.1% and 14.3%, respectively, which caused non-interest income to decline, as compared to the same periods in 2004. Those decreases in transaction fees and service charges, which were due to a decline in the volume of deposit transactions, in the six and three month periods ended June 30, 2005, were partially offset by an increase in fees and charges collected on other banking related
20
services and transactions during the six and three-month periods ended June 30, 2005 and, to a lesser extent, by an increase in the gains on the sale of SBA (Small Business Administration) loans during the first quarter of 2005.
Non-Interest Expense. Non-interest expense (also sometimes referred to as “other expense”) consists primarily of (i) salaries and other employee expenses, (ii) occupancy and furniture and equipment expenses, and (iii) other operating and miscellaneous expenses that include items such as insurance premiums, marketing expenses, data processing costs, and professional fees.
It has been our policy to provide a higher level of personal service to our customers than the level of services that is provided by many of our competitors. As a result, we have more banking personnel than many of our competitors of comparable size, which is reflected in our non-interest expense. However, we believe that this higher level of service has helped us to retain our customers and enabled us to achieve an average net interest margins that exceeds the average net margins of the banks in our Peer Group.
Set forth below is information regarding non-interest expense incurred by us in the six and three month periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004:

Efficiency Ratio | | | 62.03 | % | | | 64.25 | % | | | | | | 62.13 | % | | | 63.74 | % | | | |
The increases in personnel expenses in the six and three month periods ended June 30, 2005, as compared to the same periods last year, were primarily due to increases in accruals for reserves for various employment benefit programs. The increases in other expenses in the six and three month periods ended June 30, 2005, as compared to the same periods in 2004, were primarily due to increases in professional fees and expenses, primarily related to the costs of compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, including the costs of documenting and testing our internal control over financial reporting as required by Section 404 of that Act. Notwithstanding those increases, our efficiency ratio (net interest income expressed as a percentage of the sum of net interest income and non-interest income, adjusted to eliminate nonrecurring expense and income items) improved to 62.0% and 62.1%, respectively, in the six-month period and quarter ended June 30, 2005, down from 64.3% and 63.7%, respectively, in the same periods of 2004, because our net revenues (the sum of net interest income plus non-interest income) grew at a greater rate than did our non-interest expense.
Income Taxes. The increases in the provision for income taxes in the six and three month periods ended June 30, 2005 were primarily attributable to the increases in pre-tax income in those periods, as compared to the same periods in 2004, partially offset by the effect on income tax expense of decreases in our effective income tax rate for those periods to approximately 35.0% and 35.1%, respectively, as compared to 36.0% for both the six and three-month periods ended June 30, 2004. As discussed above, under the caption “Critical Accounting Policies,” that income tax rate reflects the beneficial impact of our ability to make use of certain income tax benefits available under state and federal income tax laws. The realization of those income tax benefits is dependent on our generating taxable income in the future in amounts sufficient to utilize those tax benefits prior to their expiration. We have made a judgment that it is more likely than not that we will generate taxable income in future years sufficient to fully utilize those benefits. In the event that our taxable income were to decline in future periods, making it less likely that those benefits could be fully utilized, we would be required to establish a valuation reserve to cover the potential loss of those tax benefits, by increasing the provision we make for income taxes, which would have the effect of reducing our net income. See “Critical Accounting Policies” above.

Financial Condition
Average Assets. During the six months ended June 30, 2005, the average volume of loans and investment securities were, respectively, 9.6% and 34.1% higher than for the same six months of 2004. During the three months ended June 30, 2005, the average volume of loans and investment securities were, respectively, 9.3% and 27.2% higher than during the same three months of 2004. Those increases were funded primarily by a shift of funds out of lower yielding interest earning assets, principally federal funds sold and funds in interest bearing accounts at other banks, and an increase in deposits.
Total Assets. Our total assets increased during the six months ended June 30, 2005 by $11.7 million or 1.5% from our total assets at December 31, 2004. That increase was primarily attributable to a $7.8 million, or 1.6%, increase in the volume of loans outstanding.
The following table sets forth the dollar amounts of our interest-earning assets at June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004:
| | | | | | |
| | At June 30, 2005
| | At December 31, 2004
|
| | (In thousands) |
Federal funds sold and overnight Repurchase Agreements | | $ | 27,000 | | $ | 28,900 |
Interest-bearing deposits in other financial institutions | | | 1,487 | | | 9,803 |
Investment securities held-to-maturity | | | 7,781 | | | 7,980 |
Investment securities available-for-sale | | | 187,648 | | | 186,575 |
Total Loans, net | | | 508,389 | | | 500,607 |
Deposits. At June 30, 2005, the volume of core deposits (comprised of demand, savings and money market deposits) totaled $640.2 million, which was 1.4% higher than at December 31, 2004. At the same time, the volume of time deposits, including time certificates of deposit in denominations of $100,000 or more, declined by 0.9% to $77.2 million at June 30, 2005 from $77.9 million at December 31, 2004.
The increase in core deposits were primarily attributable to marketing programs designed to attract additional deposits from existing customers and deposits from new customers that could be used to fund increases in our interest earning assets.
Liquidity Management. We have established liquidity management policies which are designed to achieve a matching of sources and uses of funds in order to enable us to fund our customers’ requirements for loans and for deposit withdrawals. In accordance with those policies, we maintain a number of short-term sources of funds to meet periodic increases in loan demand and in deposit withdrawals and maturities. At June 30, 2005, the principal sources of liquidity consisted of $35.4 million of cash and demand balances due from other banks and $27.0 million in Federal funds sold and overnight repurchase agreements which, together, totaled $62.4 million, as compared to $52.5 million at December 31, 2004. Other sources of liquidity included $179 million in securities available-for-sale and $1.5 million in interest bearing deposits at other financial institutions, the majority of which mature in six months or less. Additionally, substantially all of our installment loans and leases, the amount of which aggregated $3.6 million at June 30, 2005, require regular installment payments from customers, providing us with a steady flow of cash funds.
We also have a revolving line of credit from the Federal Home Loan Bank in the amount of $52.2 million, which we use as a source of short-term funds from time to time. At June 30, 2005 there were no outstanding borrowings under that line of credit. Any borrowings that we make under that credit line are secured by a pledge of some of our outstanding loans. We also have established loan facilities that would enable us to borrow up to $18 million of Federal funds from other banks and we have an account with the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco that will also allow us to borrow at its discount window should the need arise. Finally, if necessary, we could obtain additional cash by selling time certificates of deposit into the “CD” market. As a general rule, it has been our policy to make use of borrowings under the credit line or loan facilities to fund short-term cash requirements, before selling securities or reducing deposit balances at other banks and before selling time certificates of deposit.
22
Contractual Obligations
Deferred Compensation Obligations. We maintain a nonqualified, unfunded deferred compensation plan for certain key management personnel. Under this plan, participating management employees may defer compensation, in return for which those employees will receive certain payments upon retirement, death, or disability, consisting of payments for 10 years commencing upon retirement or reduced benefits upon early retirement, disability, or termination of employment. At June 30, 2005, our aggregate payment obligations under this plan totaled $4.6 million. Based on the age of the participants in this Plan, it is our current expectation that this amount would be paid over a period that should range from 2005 to 2021. In order to provide funds to pay these benefits, we purchased life insurance policies on the participants in this plan, the cash surrender values or death benefits of which are designed to cover the payments that we will become obligated to make to plan participants.
Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan. We maintain a nonqualified, unfunded supplemental executive retirement plan for certain key management personnel. Under this plan, participating employees are eligible to receive 40% of their final average monthly salary upon reaching 65 years of age and completing 10 years of service with the Bank. This plan provides for payments for fifteen years commencing upon retirement. At June 30, 2005, our aggregate payment obligations under this plan totaled $8.3 million. Based on the age of the participants in this plan, it is our current expectation that this amount would be paid over a period that should range from 2010 to 2049. In order to provide funds to pay these benefits, we have purchased life insurance policies on the key executives participating in this plan, the cash surrender values or death benefits of which are designed to cover the payments that we will become obligated to make to plan participants.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Loan Commitments and Standby Letters of Credit. In the ordinary course of our business we make commitments to extend credit and issue standby commercial letters of credit to or for our customers.
The following table sets forth the dollar amounts of (i) our contractual commitments to extend credit to our customers and (ii) our obligations under standby letters of credit, as of June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively:
| | | | | | |
| | At June 30,
|
| | 2005
| | 2004
|
| | (In thousands) |
Commitments to extend credit | | $ | 61,586 | | $ | 47,767 |
Standby letters of credit | | | 2,967 | | | 2,911 |
Commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and the customer may be required to pay a fee and meet other conditions in order to draw on those commitments or standby letters of credit. We expect, based on historical experience, that many of the commitments will expire without being drawn upon and, therefore, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.
To varying degrees, commitments to extend credit involve elements of credit and interest rate risk for us that are in excess of the amounts recognized in our balance sheets. Our exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the customers to whom such commitments are made is equal to the amount of those commitments. As a result, before making such a commitment to a customer, we evaluate the customer’s creditworthiness using the same underwriting standards that we apply when deciding whether or not to approve loans to the customer. In addition, we often require the customer to secure its payment obligations for amounts drawn on such commitments with collateral such as accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, income-producing commercial properties, residential properties and properties under construction.
Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan commitments to customers.
23
We believe that our cash and cash equivalent resources, together with available borrowings under our line of credit and other credit facilities, will be sufficient to enable us to meet increases in demand for loans and leases and increases in deposit withdrawals that might occur in the foreseeable future, as well as to fund those of the outstanding loan commitments and standby letters of credit that are drawn down by customers.
Junior Subordinated Debentures
Pursuant to rulings of the Federal Reserve Board, bank holding companies are permitted to issue long-term subordinated debt instruments that will, subject to certain conditions, qualify as and, therefore, augment capital for regulatory purposes. Pursuant to those rulings, in December 2002, we issued $8,248,000 of floating rate junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures (the “Subordinated Debentures”) in connection with a sale of floating rate trust preferred securities (the “Trust Preferred Securities”) to an institutional investor as part of a pooled securitization transaction by that investor. The trust preferred securities were issued and sold by a grantor trust (the “Trust”), of which we own all of the outstanding common securities, and the net proceeds from the sale of the trust preferred securities were paid to us in exchange for the issuance of the Subordinated Debentures to the Trust. The payment terms of the Subordinated Debentures correspond to the payment terms of the trust preferred securities.
The Subordinated Debentures are subordinated to all of our existing and future borrowings and mature in 30 years, on December 26, 2032; but are redeemable, at par, at our option after five years (beginning December 26, 2007). We are required to make quarterly interest payments on these Debentures at an interest rate that is 3.05% above the three-month LIBOR (London Inter Bank Offered Rate), which resets quarterly. The interest rate that we paid on these securities during the three months ended June 25, 2005 was 6.72%. Interest payments made on the Subordinated Debentures to the Trust are equal in amount to and are used to pay dividends that are required to be paid on the outstanding trust preferred securities.
Capital Resources and Dividends
Dividends. It has been and continues to be the objective of our Board of Directors to retain earnings that are needed to meet capital requirements under applicable government regulations and to support our growth. At the same time, it is the policy of the Board of Directors to pay cash dividends if earnings exceed the amounts required to meet that objective. Pursuant to that policy, the Company has paid regular quarterly cash dividends since September of 1999. In July of 2005, the Board of Directors increased the quarterly cash dividend from $0.13 per share of common stock to $0.15 per share of common stock and declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.15 per share. That cash dividend will be paid on August 23, 2005 to stockholders of record as of August 9, 2005.
However, although there are no plans to reduce the amount or terminate the payment of cash dividends, there can be no assurance that the amount or frequency of cash dividends will not have to be reduced or that cash dividends will not have to be suspended, as this will depend on such factors as economic and market conditions, our future financial performance and financial condition and our needs for capital to support future growth.
We continue to evaluate and explore opportunities to expand our market into areas such as eastern Los Angeles County, western San Bernardino County, north Orange County and northern Riverside County, all of which are contiguous to our existing markets.
Stock Repurchase Program. In January of 2003 the Board of Directors authorized an open-market and private stock repurchase program that provided for the Company to repurchase up to $5,000,000 of its common stock. Repurchases may be made from time-to-time when opportunities to do so at favorable prices present themselves, in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions made in compliance with Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) guidelines. As of June 30, 2005, we had repurchased a total of 188,202 shares of our common stock pursuant to that program for an aggregate price of approximately $3,698,000.
Regulatory Capital Requirements. Federal banking agencies require United States based bank holding companies (on a consolidated basis) and FDIC-insured banks (on a stand-alone basis) to maintain a minimum ratio of qualifying total capital to risk-adjusted assets of 8% and a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital (essentially, the sum of a bank’s capital stock and retained earnings, less any intangibles) to risk-adjusted assets of 4%. In addition to the risked-based guidelines, federal banking regulators require banking organizations to maintain a minimum amount of Tier 1 capital to total average assets (which is referred to as a bank’s “leverage ratio”).
24
The federal banking agencies have adopted uniform capital requirements for the banks that they supervise and assign each of those banks to one of the following five categories based on their respective capital ratios:
| • | | adequately capitalized; |
| • | | significantly undercapitalized; and |
| • | | critically undercapitalized |
As a general rule, banks that are categorized as “well capitalized” are subject to less stringent supervision by their federal regulatory agencies than are banks that are classified in one of the other categories; and at each successive lower capital category, a bank is subject to greater operating restrictions and increased regulatory supervision.
For a banking organization to be rated as well capitalized, which is the highest of the five categories used by regulators to rate the capital adequacy of banking organizations, its minimum leverage ratio of Tier 1 capital to average assets must be 5%. In addition to these uniform risk-based capital guidelines and leverage ratios that apply across the industry, federal and state bank regulatory agencies have the discretion to set minimum capital requirements for specific banking institutions at rates significantly above the minimum guidelines and ratios and encourage banks to maintain their ratios above those minimums as a matter of prudent banking practices.
The risk-based capital ratio is determined by weighting our assets in accordance with certain risk factors and, the higher the risk profile the assets, the greater is the amount of capital that is required in order to maintain an adequate risk-based capital ratio, which generally is at least 8%.
The Bank has been categorized as a “well capitalized” institution by its primary federal banking agency and its Tier 1 capital and Tier 1 risk-based capital ratios exceed minimum regulatory requirements and compare favorably with those of the banks and bank holding companies in its Peer Group.
The following table compares, as of June 30, 2005, the actual capital ratios of the Company (on a consolidated basis) and the Bank (on a stand-alone basis) to the capital ratios that they are required to meet under applicable banking regulations:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Company Actual
| | | Bank Actual
| | | For Capital Adequacy Purposes
| | | To Be Categorized as Well Capitalized
| |
Total Capital to Risk Based Assets | | 13.8 | % | | 13.7 | % | | 8.0 | % | | 10.0 | % |
Tier 1 Capital to Risk Weighted Assets | | 13.0 | % | | 12.8 | % | | 4.0 | % | | 6.0 | % |
Tier 1 Capital to Average Assets | | 9.4 | % | | 9.4 | % | | 4.0 | % | | 5.0 | % |
Pursuant to rulings of the Federal Reserve Board, subject to certain conditions, subordinated indebtedness issued in connection with a sale of trust preferred securities may comprise up to 25% of a banking organization’s Tier 1 capital and, to the extent such indebtedness exceeds that limitation, such indebtedness will constitute Tier 2 capital for regulatory capital purposes. All of the $8.2 million of subordinated indebtedness evidenced by the Subordinated Debentures that we issued in December 2002 qualifies as Tier 1 capital under Federal Reserve Board regulations and was taken into account in determining the Company’s capital ratios set forth above. See “Liquidity—Contractual Obligations—Junior Subordinated Debentures” discussed above in this Section of this Report.
Risks and Uncertainties that Could Affect Our Future Financial Performance
As described earlier in this Section of this Report, under the subcaption “Forward-Looking Statements,” this Report contains statements that discuss our expectations or beliefs regarding our future operations or future financial performance, or financial or other trends in our business. These “forward-looking” statements are based on current information and assumptions about future events over which we do not have control and the realization of our expected financial results or performance discussed in those forward looking statements is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause our financial condition or operating results in the future to differ significantly from those
25
expected at the current time. Certain of those risks and uncertainties are discussed above in this Section of the Report entitled “MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCE CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION.” In addition, included among the risks and uncertainties that could affect our future financial performance or financial condition are the following:
| • | | Increased Competition. Increased competition from other financial institutions, mutual funds and securities brokerage and investment banking firms that offer competitive loan, investment and deposit products could require us to reduce interest rates and loan fees in order to attract new loans or to increase interest rates that we offer on time deposits, either or both of which could, in turn, reduce our interest income or increase our interest expense, and thereby reduce our net interest margin, net interest income and net earnings. |
| • | | Possible Adverse Changes in Economic Conditions. An adverse change in future economic conditions, either national or local, could (i) reduce loan demand that could cause our interest income and net interest margins to decline; (ii) weaken the financial capability of borrowers to meet their loan obligations to us, which could lead to increases in loan losses that would require us to increase our Loan Loss Reserve through additional charges to income; and (iii) lead to declines in real property values that, due to our reliance on real property to secure many of our loans, could make it more difficult for us to prevent losses from being incurred on non-performing loans through the sale of such real properties. |
| • | | Possible Adverse Changes in Federal Reserve Board Monetary Policies. Changes in national economic conditions, such as increases in inflation or declines in economic output often prompt changes in Federal Reserve Board monetary policies that could increase the cost of funds to us or reduce yields on interest earning assets. Increases in our costs of funds or reductions in yields on our earning assets could cause our net interest margins and net interest income and, therefore, also our net earnings, to decline. As discussed above, during the three years ended in June 2004, the Federal Reserve Board lowered market rates of interest in an effort to stimulate the national economy. Those reductions caused our net interest margin to decline, because they led to reductions in the interest paid by borrowers on outstanding variable rate loans or enabled borrowers to refinance existing fixed rate loans at lower interest rates or to repay their loans. Although the Federal Reserve Board has, more recently, been increasing interest rates and has indicated an intention to continue doing so at a gradual pace, further reductions in our net interest margin and net interest income and, therefore, in our net earnings, could still occur depending on the pace of those increases. In addition, there is no assurance that economic or market conditions will not lead the Federal Reserve Board to halt or even “roll-back” such interest rate increases. |
| • | | Real Estate Mortgage Loans and Impact on Operating Results of a Decline in Real Property Values. Approximately 90% of our loans are secured by deeds of trust or mortgages on real property. Although a significant portion of these loans were made to individuals, or entities controlled by individuals, whose businesses occupy the properties and the principal source of repayment is the cash flow generated by those businesses, if a significant decline in real property values were to occur in Southern California, such a decline could result in a deterioration in some of those loans, which would necessitate increases in our Loan Loss Reserve and could result in loan write-offs that would adversely affect our financial conditions and lead to reductions in earnings. |
| • | | Lack of Geographic Diversity of our Operations. Substantially all of our banking operations are conducted in the Inland Empire area of Southern California, within a radius of approximately 75 miles. As a result, our operating results in the future could be hurt by events that could affect that geographic area, including natural disasters, such as earthquakes or fires, or localized economic downturns, or by financial difficulties that might be encountered by local governments or the California state government. |
| • | | Changes in Regulatory Policies. Changes in federal and state bank regulatory policies, such as increases in capital requirements or in required loan loss reserves, or changes in required asset/liability ratios, could adversely affect earnings by reducing yields on earning assets or increasing our operating costs. |
| • | | Effects of Growth. It is our intention to take advantage of opportunities to increase our business, through acquisitions of other banks, the establishment of new banking offices or the offering of new products or services to our customers. If we do acquire any other banks, open any additional banking offices or begin |
26
| offering new products or services, we are likely to incur additional operating costs that may adversely affect our operating results, at least on an interim basis. |
| • | | Possibility of Change in Dividend Policy or Dividend Payments. In accordance with the Board of Directors’ dividend policy, we have paid a regular quarterly cash dividend since September 1999 and have made periodic repurchases of our outstanding shares. Although there are no plans to reduce the amount or terminate the payment of cash dividends, there can be no assurance that the amount or frequency of cash dividends will not have to be reduced or that cash dividends will not have to be suspended, as this will depend on such factors as economic and market conditions, our future financial performance and financial condition and our needs for capital to support future growth. |
Additional information regarding these risks and uncertainties is contained in our Annual Report on Form 10K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004, as amendment by Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 27, 2005, and readers of this Report are urged to review the Annual Report as well. Due to these and other possible uncertainties and risks, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
ITEM 3. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK |
Market risk is the risk of loss to future earnings, to fair values of assets or to future cash flows that may result from changes in the price or value of a financial instrument. The value of a financial instrument may change as a result of changes in interest rates and other market conditions. Market risk is attributed to all market risk sensitive financial instruments, including loan and investment securities, deposits and borrowings. We do not engage in trading or hedging activities or participate in foreign currency transactions for our own account. Accordingly, our exposure to market risk is primarily a function of our asset and liability management activities and of changes in market rates of interest that can cause or require increases in the rates we pay on deposits that may take effect more rapidly or may be greater than the increases in the interest rates we are able to charge on loans and the yields that we can realize on our investments. The extent of that market risk depends on a number of variables, including the sensitivity to changes in market interest rates and the maturities of our interest earning assets and our deposits. See “Results of Operations—Rate Sensitivity” in Item 2 of Part I of this Report.
We use a dynamic simulation model to forecast the anticipated impact of changes in market interest rates on our net interest income. That model is used to assist management in evaluating, and in determining and adjusting strategies designed to reduce, our exposure to these market risks. Such strategies for reducing our exposure to market risks may include, for example, changing the mix of earning assets or interest-bearing deposits. See Note 7 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Part I of this Report for further information with respect to that dynamic simulation model that, based on certain assumptions, attempts to quantify the impact that simulated upward and downward interest rate changes would have on our net interest income.
ITEM 4. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
Our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under that Act (the Exchange Act), such as this Quarterly Report, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Our disclosure controls and procedures also are designed to provide reasonable assurance that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
Our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures in effect as of June 30, 2005. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2005, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that material information, relating to the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries, required to be included in our Exchange Act reports,
27
including this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, is made known to management, including the CEO and CFO, on a timely basis.
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2005, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II—OTHER INFORMATION
