ITEM 1.01 ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT.

See Item 8.01 below.

ITEM 8.01 OTHER EVENTS.

                COMPLETION OF BANK HOLDING COMPANY REORGANIZATION

On May 9, 2006, San Joaquin Bank, a California state chartered bank (the
"Bank"), announced its intention to reorganize into a bank holding company form.
San Joaquin Bancorp, a California corporation ("Bancorp") was incorporated on
May 6, 2006 in connection with the contemplated reorganization into bank holding
company form.

On May 9, 2006, the Bank, Bancorp and San Joaquin Reorganization Corp., a
California corporation and wholly- owned subsidiary of Bancorp ("Reorganization
Corp."), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization pursuant to which
Reorganization Corp. would be merged (the "Merger") with and into the Bank, with
the Bank being the surviving corporation. Upon consummation of the Merger, the
Bank would become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bancorp and the shareholders of
the Bank would receive one share of Bancorp common stock in exchange for each
share of Bank common stock held by such shareholder.

At the Bank's Annual Meeting of Shareholders on June 20, 2006, the Merger was
approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of the
Bank's common stock. A copy of the Proxy Statement/Offering Circular as
distributed to the Bank's shareholders in connection with the Annual Meeting is
filed as Exhibit 99.6.

On July 31, 2006, an Agreement of Merger was filed with the Secretary of State
of the State of California and the Merger became effective as of the close of
business on July 31, 2006. As a result of the Merger, the Bank has become a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Bancorp and the one-for-one share exchange described
above has been completed. The securities issued in connection with the Merger
were issued in reliance upon an exemption from registration with the Securities
Exchange Commission (the "Commission") as provided by Section 3(a)(12) of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and similar provisions under applicable
state law which provide exemptions from the securities registration or
qualification provisions. In addition, Bancorp assumed all outstanding stock
options of the Bank exercisable into shares of Bank common stock upon
consummation of the Merger. Such stock options continue to have, and be subject
to, the same terms and conditions of such stock options immediately prior to the
consummation of the Merger, except that such options are now exercisable into
Bancorp common stock.

The directors and officers of Bancorp following the Merger are the same
directors and officers of the Bank, except that Bruce Maclin is Chief Executive
Officer and Bart Hill is the President of Bancorp.

Attached as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference is a copy of the
press release dated August 1, 2006, with respect to the consummation of the
Merger.

Prior to the Merger, the Bank's common stock was registered under Section 12(g)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"). The Bank was
subject to the information requirement of the Exchange Act and in accordance
with Section 12(i) thereof, filed annual and quarterly reports, proxy statements
and other information with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC").
As a result of the Merger, Bancorp is a successor issuer to the Bank as provided
in Rule 12g-3(a) under the Exchange Act and Bancorp's common stock is deemed
registered under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act. Bancorp has become subject
to the information requirements of the Exchange Act and will file reports, proxy
statements and other information with the SEC. This Current Report on Form 8-K
is Bancorp's initial report to the Securities and Exchange Commission under the
Exchange Act.
