BUSINESS. -------- Certain statements discussed or incorporated by reference in this Annual Report including, but not limited to, information concerning possible or assumed future results of operations of the Company set forth matters in the Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"). Forward-looking statements include statements in which words such as "expect," "anticipate," "intend," "plan," "believe," "estimate," "consider" or similar expressions are used. The Company's actual future results and shareholder values may differ materially from those anticipated and expressed in these forward-looking statements, which are based on management's beliefs and assumptions and on information currently available to management, and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. Such risks and uncertainties include, among others, (1) competitive pressures in the banking industry; (2) changes in the interest rate environment; (3) general economic conditions, either nationally or regionally; (4) changes in the regulatory environment; (5) changes in business conditions and inflation; and (6) changes in securities markets. Many of these factors are beyond the Company's ability to control or predict. Investors are cautioned not to put undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. In addition, the Company does not have any intention or obligation to update forward-looking statements contained in this Annual Report, even if new information, future events or other circumstances have made them incorrect or misleading. Except as specifically noted herein all references to the "Company" refer to Pacific State Bancorp, a California corporation. General Description of Business ------------------------------- Pacific State Bancorp is a holding company with one bank subsidiary, Pacific State Bank, (the "Bank"), and two unconsolidated subsidiary guarantor trusts, Pacific State Statutory Trusts I and II. Pacific State Bancorp commenced operations on June 24, 2002 when it acquired all the then issued and outstanding shares of Pacific State Bank under a plan of reorganization approved by the Bank's shareholders on May 9, 2002. The Bank is a California state chartered bank and the Bank is a member of the Federal Reserve System. The Bank's primary source of revenue is providing loans to customers who are predominately small to middle-market businesses and middle-income individuals. Pacific State Statuatory Trusts I and II are unconsolidated, wholly owned statutory business trusts formed in June 2002 and March 2004 for the exclusive purpose of issuing and selling trust preferred securities. The Bank has engaged since November 2, 1987 in a general commercial banking business, primarily in Stockton and San Joaquin County, and offers commercial banking services to residents and employers of businesses in the Bank's service area, including professional firms and small to medium sized retail and wholesale businesses and manufacturers. The Company as of January 22, 2004 had 60 employees, including 26 officers. The Bank does not engage in any non-bank lines of business. The business of the Bank is not to any significant degree seasonal in nature. The Bank has no operations outside California and has no material amount of loans or deposits concentrated among any one or few persons, groups or industries. The Bank's main office is located at 6 So. El Dorado Street, in Stockton, California; additional branches are located elsewhere in Stockton and in the communities of Angels Camp, Arnold, Groveland, Modesto and Tracy, California. Business Plan ------------- The focus of the Company's business plan is to attract "middle market" accounts, but not to the exclusion of any other business which the Company can reasonably and profitably attract. In order to provide a level of service to attract such customers, the Company has structured its specific services and charges on a basis which management believes to be profitable, taking into consideration other aspects of the account relationship. The Company offers a range of banking services to its customers intended to attract the following specific types of accounts: relatively large consumer accounts; professional group and association accounts, including the accounts of groups or firms of physicians, dentists, attorneys and accountants; and accounts of small to medium-sized businesses engaged in retail, wholesale, light industrial and service activities. Trust Subsidiaries ------------------ The Company during 2002 and 2004 established business trust subsidiaries (the "Trusts") for the sole purpose of issuing capital securities ("Capital Securities") pursuant to declarations of trust (the "Declarations"). The proceeds from the sale of the Capital Securities were loaned to the Company under deeply subordinated debentures (the "Debentures") issued to the Trusts pursuant to indentures (the "Indentures"). Interest payments on the Debentures will flow through the Trusts to the Pooling Vehicles which are the holders of the Capital Securities and similar securities issued by other financial institutions. Payments of distributions by the Trusts to the Pooling Vehicles are guaranteed by the Company. See note 8 in the company's consolidated financial statement. Proceeds from the issuance of the 2002 subordinated debentures were used to provide the Bank with an additional $4.5 million in capital in order to support the continued growth of the Bank. The remaining $500,000 was placed in the Company for general corporate purposes. Proceeds from the issuance of the 2004 subordinated debentures were used to provide the Bank with an additional $3.5 million in capital in order to support the continued growth of the Bank. Product Lines and Services -------------------------- The Bank currently offers the following general banking services at all of its branches: commercial, construction and real estate loans and personal credit lines, interest on checking, U.S. Savings bond services, domestic and foreign drafts, banking by appointment, automatic transfer of funds between savings and checking accounts, business courier services, checking and savings accounts for personal and business purposes, domestic letters of credit, a depository for MasterCard and Visa drafts, federal depository services, cash management assistance, wire and telephone transfers, travelers' checks, Individual Retirement Accounts, time certificates of deposit, courier service for non-cash deposits, Visa and MasterCard, revolving lines of credit to consumers secured by deeds of trust on private residences, unsecured overdraft protection credit lines attached to checking accounts, ATM cards and MasterMoney debit cards via the Star, Cirrus, Plus, Mastercard and Visa networks. The Bank is not authorized to offer trust services. The Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco is the Company's primary correspondent relationship. The Bank currently also has correspondent relationships with City National Bank in Beverly Hills, Bank of America in San Francisco, First Tennessee Bank in Memphis, Tennessee, Compass Bank in Birmingham, Alabama, Wells Fargo Bank and Pacific Coast Bankers Bank. The Bank recognizes that, in order to be competitive, it must attract a certain number of consumer accounts. Travelers checks, Individual Retirement Accounts, Visa and MasterCard, revolving lines of credit to consumers secured by deeds of trust on private residences, and unsecured overdraft protection credit 2 lines attached to checking accounts currently offered by the Bank are designed to appeal particularly to consumers. Moreover, participation in a large-scale ATM network assists the Company in competing for consumer accounts. The Bank is an approved Small Business Administration and 504 lender, FarmerMac I and II, USDA, USDA Part-time Farmer Program, FHA and VA lender and California Capital lender. The Bank is a national leader in the underwriting of U.S. Department of Agriculture business and industry loans, as well as a Preferred Lender for this program. Marketing --------- The basic marketing strategy of the Bank is to retain the Bank's initial market share and to increase the Bank's penetration of the market over the long term via expansion east and west of Stockton in small to medium sized communities. The Bank attempts to accomplish this by providing a full range of personalized Banking services to small and medium size businesses, professionals and individuals within Calaveras, San Joaquin, Stanislaus and Tuolumne Counties. The Bank's marketing plan aims to provide for strong continuity in banker-customer relationships, a high degree of convenience for customers, prompt response in the handling of loan requests, and personal attention to needs of individual customers. The marketing plan also includes a commitment to lend the Bank's deposits back into the areas from which they are derived, thereby assisting in the building activity, population growth and other changes, which are occurring in the market area. By focusing the Bank's relationship toward its community the Bank attempts to establish strong continuity with its customers. The Directors of the Company are active in business development through personal contacts and personal participation in local activities. The Directors of the Company have a strong commitment to community banking. They believe in business development by actively participating in community events. Local advertising and publicity in local papers also are used to attract business and to acquaint potential customers with the Bank's services. Competition ----------- The Bank's service area consists of Calaveras, San Joaquin, Stanislaus and Tuolumne Counties. The banking business in California generally, and specifically in the Bank's primary market area, is highly competitive with respect to both loans and deposits. The Banking business is dominated by a relatively small number of major Banks, which have many offices operating over wide geographic areas. Many of the major commercial Banks offer certain services (such as international trust and securities brokerage services), which are not offered directly by the Bank. By virtue of their greater total capitalization, such Banks have substantially higher lending limits than the Bank and substantial advertising and promotional budgets. In the past, an independent bank's principal competitors for deposits and loans have been other banks (particularly major banks) savings and loan associations and credit unions. To a lesser extent, competition was also provided by thrift and loans, mortgage brokerage companies and insurance companies. Other institutions, such as brokerage houses, credit card companies, and even retail establishments have offered new investment vehicles, such as money-market funds, which also compete with banks. The direction of federal legislation in recent years seems to favor competition between different types of financial institutions and to foster new entrants into the financial services market, and it is anticipated that this trend will continue. To compete with major financial institutions in its service area, the Bank relies upon specialized services, responsive handling of customer needs, local promotional activity, and personal contacts by its officers, directors and staff, as opposed to large multi-branch banks, which compete primarily by interest rates and multiple branch locations. For customers whose loan demands exceed the Bank's lending limits, the Bank seeks to arrange funding for such loans on a participation basis with its correspondent Banks or other independent commercial banks. 3 Supervision and Regulation -------------------------- The Company is principally regulated by the Federal Reserve Board ("FRB") and the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The Bank is principally regulated by the California Commissioner of Financial Institutions ("Commissioner"), but is also subject to regulation by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") and by it's primary federal regulator, the FRB. These agencies govern most of the Company's and the Bank's business, including capital requirements, loans, investments, mergers and acquisitions, borrowings, dividends, branch locations and other similar matters. In addition, the Bank's business is affected by general economic conditions and by the monetary and fiscal policies of the United States government. These policies influence, for example, the Federal Reserve's open market operations in U.S. Government securities, the reserve requirements imposed upon commercial Banks, the discount rates applicable to borrowings from the Federal Reserve by Banks, and other similar matters which impact the growth of the Bank's loans, investments and deposits and the interest rates which the Bank charges and pays. Proposals to change the laws and regulations governing the operations and taxation of financial institutions are frequently made in Congress, in the California legislature and before various regulatory and professional agencies. The likelihood of any major changes and the impact such changes might have are difficult to predict with accuracy. Certain significant recently proposed or enacted laws and regulations are discussed below. Interstate Banking. Since 1995, initial entry into California by merger or acquisition involving an out-of state institution must be accomplished by acquisition of or merger with an existing whole bank which has been in existence for at least five years. Capital Requirements. The Company and the Bank are subject to certain regulatory capital requirements administered by the FRB and the FDIC. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of its assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Company's and the Bank's capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about the components, risk weightings and other factors. The Uniform Financial Institutions Rating System ("UFIRS") classifies and evaluates the soundness of financial institutions according to the so-called "CAMELS" criteria, including capital adequacy, asset quality, management, earnings, liquidity and sensitivity to market risk, (changes in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, commodity prices or equity prices which may adversely affect an institution's earnings and capital). Prompt Corrective Action regulations (the "PCA Regulations") of the federal bank regulatory agencies establish five capital categories in descending order (well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized and critically undercapitalized), assignment to which depends upon the institution's total risk-based capital ratio, Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio, and leverage ratio. Institutions classified in one of the three undercapitalized categories are subject to certain mandatory and discretionary supervisory actions, which include increased monitoring and review, implementation of capital restoration plans, asset growth restrictions, limitations upon expansion and new business activities, requirements to augment capital, restrictions upon deposit gathering and interest rates, replacement of senior executive officers and directors, and requiring divestiture or sale of the institution. The Bank is currently classified as a well capitalized bank pursuant to the PCA regulations. As of December 31, 2003, the Bank's total risk-based capital ratio (approximately 11.1%) and its leverage ratio (approximately 8.2%) exceeded minimum levels. It is not expected that compliance with the risk-based capital guidelines or minimum leverage requirements will have a materially adverse effect on the business of the Bank in the reasonably foreseeable future. Deposit Insurance Assessments. The Bank's deposit insurance assessment was $26,085 for the year 2003; the Company estimates that its deposit insurance assessment for 2004 will not differ materially from its 2003 assessment. 4 Community Reinvestment Act. Community Reinvestment Act ("CRA") regulations evaluate the Bank's lending to low and moderate income individuals and businesses across a four-point scale from "outstanding" to "substantial noncompliance," and are a factor in regulatory review of applications to merge, establish new branches. In addition, any Bank rated in "substantial noncompliance" with the CRA regulations may be subject to enforcement proceedings. The Bank has a current rating of "satisfactory" CRA compliance. Safety and Soundness Standards. Federal bank regulations for insured financial institutions establish safety and soundness standards for (1) internal controls, information systems and internal audit systems; (2) loan documentation; (3) credit underwriting; (4) interest rate exposure; (5) asset growth; (6) compensation, fees and benefits; and (7) excessive compensation. If an agency determines that an institution fails to meet any standard established by the guidelines, the agency may require the financial institution to submit to the agency an acceptable plan to achieve compliance with the standard. Agencies may elect to initiate enforcement action in certain cases where failure to meet one or more of the standards could threaten the safe and sound operation of the institution. The Company has not been and does not expect to be required to submit a safety and soundness compliance plan because of a failure to meet any of the safety and soundness standards. Recently Enacted Legislation ---------------------------- On July 30, 2002, President Bush signed into law the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the "SOA"). The stated goals of the SOA are to increase corporate responsibility, to provide for enhanced penalties for accounting and auditing improprieties at publicly traded companies and to protect investors by improving the accuracy and reliability of corporate disclosures pursuant to the securities laws. The SOA is the most far-reaching U.S. securities legislation enacted in many years. The SOA generally applies to all companies, both U.S. and non-U.S., that file or are required to file periodic reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission, ("the SEC"), under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Given the extensive SEC role in implementing rules relating to many of the SOA's new requirements, the final scope of these requirements remains to be determined. The SOA includes very specific additional disclosure requirements and new corporate governance rules, requires the SEC and securities exchanges to adopt extensive additional disclosure, corporate governance and other related rules and mandates further studies of specified issues by the SEC and the Comptroller General. The SOA represents significant federal involvement in matters traditionally left to state regulatory systems, such as the regulation of the accounting profession, and to state corporate law, such as the relationship between a board of directors and management and between a board of directors and its committees. The SOA addresses, among other matters: o Duties, responsibilities and qualifications of the audit committee; o certification of financial statements by the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer; o the forfeiture of bonuses or other incentive-based compensation and profits from the sale of an issuer's securities by directors and senior officers in the twelve month period following initial publication of any financial statements that later require restatement; o a prohibition on insider trading during pension plan black out periods; o disclosure of off-balance sheet transactions; o a prohibition on certain personal loans to directors and officers; o expedited filing requirements for forms which disclose transactions by officers and directors in Company stock; o disclosure of a code of ethics and of any change or waiver of such code; 5 o "real time" filing of periodic reports; o the formation of a public accounting oversight board; o auditor independence; and o various increased criminal penalties for violations of securities laws. The SEC has issued final rules covering most of these topics, but it is to be expected that these rules may be altered as future experience requires. Although we anticipate that we will incur additional expense in complying with the provisions of the SOA, management does not expect that such compliance will have a material impact on our results of operations or financial condition. In October 2001, the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (the "Patriot Act ") was enacted in response to the terrorist attacks in New York, Pennsylvania and Washington, D.C. which occurred on September 11, 2001. The Patriot Act is intended to strengthen U.S. law enforcement's and the intelligence communities' abilities to work cohesively to combat terrorism on a variety of fronts. The potential impact of the Patriot Act on financial institutions of all kinds is significant and wide ranging. The Patriot Act contains sweeping anti-money laundering and financial transparency laws and imposes various regulations, including standards for verifying client identification at account opening, and rules to promote cooperation among financial institutions, regulators and law enforcement entities in identifying parties that may be involved in terrorism or money laundering. The federal banking agencies Have proposed and begun to implement regulations pursuant to the Patriot Act which will require financial institutions to begin to the policies and procedures contemplated by the new law. The Company cannot be certain of the effect of the foregoing recently enacted legislation on its business, although there is likely to be consolidation among financial services institutions and increased competition for the company. New Accounting Pronouncements The Company adopted no new accounting policies in 2003 that had a material impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operations. Please see Item 7, Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, for a discussion of critical accounting policies and see Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements at Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplemental Data, for a summary of significant accounting policies. ITEM 2. PROPERTIES. ---------- The Company owns its March Lane (Stockton), Modesto, Groveland, Angels Camp and Arnold branch facilities. The Company purchased the March Lane office for $866,700 in 1992. The Company's executive officers and support staff were relocated to the March Lane building in 1997. During 2001 the Company purchased an adjacent building to the March Lane office, for $747,000, in order to expand its administrative functions. The executive offices, finance department, central operations and data processing have been moved into these offices. The Company repossessed the Modesto building and converted it to a banking branch in 1996. The Modesto land was purchased in 1999 for $524,000. The Company purchased the Arnold Branch for $600,000 as part of its 1997 expansion into branches acquired from Valliwide Bank. A portion of the building, located at 1013 Blagen Road, is leased to First American Title. The lease is expected to generate $9,000 in 2004. During 2000 the Company purchased a lot in Groveland and purchased a lot in Angels Camp in order to build and relocate the current Branch offices. The new sites in both locations offer the Company better visibility and demonstrate commitment to the communities we serve. The Groveland property was purchased for 6 $148,000 and construction was completed in January 2003. The Angels Camp property was purchased for $200,000 and was completed in the third quarter of 2003. All other Company premises are leased. The Company's total rentals for premises and equipment for fiscal year 2003 were approximately $273,000, and its minimum future commitments under lease payments as of December 31, 2003, totaled $1,279,000. The Company is currently in the thirteenth year of a sixteen-year gross level lease for its main office located at 6 South El Dorado Street in downtown Stockton. The lease cost is $0.70 per square foot per month over the life of the lease. The Company's projected lease expense through 2004 will be approximately $252,000 per year. The Company in 1997 entered into a 5-year lease for the 3,500 square foot building located at 358 N. Main Street, Angels Camp, California. The base annual rental for the Angels Camp branch is $48,000. The lease ended on July 31, 2003. The branch has been relocated to the new office at 501 S. Main Street, Angels Camp, California. In 1999, the Company entered into a 10-year lease with two options to extend for an additional 5 years each for the 3,861 square foot building in Tracy. The Tracy office is located at 2850 Tracy Boulevard. The annual rent on the Tracy office is $69,000 for the first five years at which time it will increase annually at a rate of 3% per year. ITEM 3.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES. ----------------------- The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company have concluded, based on their evaluation as of a date within 90 days prior to the date of the filing of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports filed or submitted by it under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in such reports is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote. There were no significant changes in the Company's internal controls or in other factors that significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of such evaluation.

During 2003 your organization grew both literally and institutionally, expanding assets, increasing earnings, and enhancing market reputation. Pacific State Bancorp's financial performance speaks for itself with assets increasing by $20,628,709 or 11.44%, net profit growth of $890,068 or 76.56%, return on assets of 1.07% and a return on equity of 16.86%. In addition Pacific State Bancorp generated $1.22 basic earnings per share and $1.18 diluted earnings per share for 2003. In 2003 the Company stock also increased its presence in the small bank investment community with a 2 for 1 stock split was effected on September 30, 2003. Looking back, PSBC achieved a significant increase in market value as the stock rose from $8.00 per share (after split valuation) on January 1, closing at $16.15 per share (after split valuation) on December 31, 2003, a 102% increase on the year. As of December 31 the market capitalization was $27,274,572, a significant increase in the overall market value of your company. Pacific State Bank was recognized as the number one lender for United States Department of Agriculture, Business and Industry, Loans in California. As well, the Bank was honored as the USDA, Business and Industry Loan Program's Lender of the Year for 2003. In addition, Laura Maffei, Senior Vice President and Tracy Area Manager, and Ron Ashwanden, Senior Vice President and Calaveras County Regional Manager, were honored as the Rural Bankers of the Year through the USDA, Business and Industry Loan Program. This type of local, statewide, and national publicity enables Pacific State Bank to maintain its ever improving corporate image in our four county service area. The Company has also completed the successful relocation of two new branch offices in 2003; in the first quarter we opened the new Groveland Branch and in the fourth quarter the bank opened our new Angels Camp Branch. Both of these new branches have been received favorably by each community and helped increase asset growth within Pacific State Bank. In the fourth quarter of 2003, Pacific State Bancorp began the remodeling of our administrative offices at 1899 W. March Lane in Stockton. In Early March 2004 the transition took place, relocating all of our executive, information technology, and financial staff to this new annex. Management is planning to complete the final upgrade of our operating units with the pending remodel of our Arnold Branch scheduled for early summer 2004. It is our hope that you share the growth in Company pride and success that was attained in 2003. We believe that 2004 will see a continuation of the Company's strong asset growth and steadily improving financial performance. Our team of banking professionals looks forward to your next visit to Pacific State Bank. On behalf of the Board of Directors, Officers and Staff of Pacific State Bancorp and Pacific State Bank we thank you for your support. Sincerely, /s/ Harold Hand, M.D. /s/ Steven A.

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Pacific State Bancorp and subsidiary as of

PACIFIC STATE BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS On June 24, 2002, Pacific State Bancorp ("Bancorp") commenced operations as a bank holding company by acquiring all of the outstanding shares of Pacific State Bank (the "Bank") in a one bank holding company reorganization. The new corporate structure gives Bancorp and the Bank greater flexibility in terms of operation, expansion, and diversification. The reorganization was approved by the Bank's shareholders on May 9, 2002, and all required regulatory approvals or non-disapprovals with respect to the reorganization were obtained. Pacific State Bancorp's subsidiaries include the Bank and Pacific State Statutory Trust I, an unconsolidated Delaware statutory business trust which was formed in June 2002 for the exclusive purpose of issuing and selling trust preferred securities and holding subordinated debentures issued by Bancorp. The proceeds from the issuance of subordinated debentures were utilized by Bancorp to provide capital to the Bank and for general corporate purposes. The Bank commenced operations in 1987 and is a California state-chartered member bank of the Federal Reserve System. The Bank operates seven branches in California, including two branches in Stockton and branches in Modesto, Groveland, Arnold, Angels Camp and Tracy. The Bank's primary source of revenue is providing loans to customers who are predominately small and middle-market businesses and individuals. 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The accounting and reporting policies of the Pacific State Bancorp and its subsidiary (collectively, the "Company") conform with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and prevailing practice within the banking industry. The more significant of these policies applied in the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements are discussed below. Principles of Consolidation --------------------------- The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Bancorp and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Pacific State Bank. Significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. For financial reporting purposes, the Company's investment in Pacific State Statutory Trust I is not consolidated under provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities. Use of Estimates ---------------- The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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. Reclassifications ----------------- Certain reclassifications have been made to prior years' balances to conform to classifications used in 2003. Cash and Cash Equivalents ------------------------- For purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash and due from banks and federal funds sold. Generally, federal funds are sold for one-day periods. Cash held with other federally-insured institutions in excess of FDIC limits as of December 31, 2003 was $3,697,000. 22 PACIFIC STATE BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Investment Securities --------------------- Investments are classified into the following categories: o Available-for-sale securities, reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported, net of taxes, as accumulated other comprehensive income or loss within shareholders' equity. o Held-to-maturity securities, which management has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity, reported at amortized cost, adjusted for the accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums. Management determines the appropriate classification of its investments at the time of purchase and may only change the classification in certain limited circumstances. All transfers between categories are accounted for at fair value. Gains or losses on the sale of securities are computed on the specific identification method. Interest earned on investment securities is reported in interest income, net of applicable adjustments for accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums. In addition, unrealized losses that are other than temporary are recognized in earnings for all investments. As a member of the Federal Reserve System, the Federal Home Loan Bank System and the Farmer Mac Home Administration System, the Bank is required to maintain an investment in restricted capital stock of each system. These investments are carried at cost as investment securities and are redeemable at par. Loans ----- Loans are stated at principal balances outstanding, except for loans transferred from loans held for sale which are carried at the lower of principal balance or market value at the date of transfer, adjusted for accretion of discounts. Interest is accrued daily based upon outstanding loan balances. However, when, in the opinion of management, loans are considered to be impaired and the future collectibility of interest and principal is in serious doubt, loans are placed on nonaccrual status and the accrual of interest income is suspended. Any interest accrued but unpaid is charged against income. Payments received are applied to reduce principal to the extent necessary to ensure collection. Subsequent payments on these loans, or payments received on nonaccrual loans for which the ultimate collectibility of principal is not in doubt, are applied first to earned but unpaid interest and then to principal. An impaired loan is measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate or, as a practical matter, at the loan's observable market price or the fair value of collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect all amounts due (including both principal and interest) in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Loan origination fees, commitment fees, direct loan origination costs and purchase premiums and discounts on loans are deferred and recognized as an adjustment of yield, to be amortized to interest income over the contractual term of the loan. The unamortized balance of deferred fees and costs is reported as a component of net loans. 23 PACIFIC STATE BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Loan Sales and Servicing ------------------------ Government Guaranteed Loans Included in the portfolio are loans which are 75% to 90% guaranteed by the Small Business Administration (SBA), Business and Industrial, Farmer Mac and California Capital. The guaranteed portion of these loans may be sold to a third party, with the Bank retaining the unguaranteed portion. The Bank generally receives a premium in excess of the adjusted carrying value of the loan at the time of sale. The Bank may be required to refund a portion of the sales premium if the borrower defaults or prepays within ninety days of the settlement date. At December 31, 2003, there were no premiums subject to these recourse provisions. The Bank's investment in the loan is allocated between the retained portion of the loan, the servicing asset, the interest-only (IO) strip, and the sold portion of the loan based on their relative fair values on the date the loan is sold. The gain on the sold portion of the loan is recognized as income at the time of sale. The carrying value of the retained portion of the loan is discounted based on the estimated value of a comparable non-guaranteed loan. The servicing asset is amortized over the estimated life of the related loan. Assets (accounted for as interest-only (IO) strips) are recorded at the fair value of the difference between note rates and rates paid to purchasers (the interest spread) and contractual servicing fees, if applicable. The IO strip asset is not significant at December 31, 2003 and 2002. Significant future prepayments of these loans will result in the recognition of additional amortization of related servicing assets and an adjustment to the carrying value of related IO strips. The Bank serviced government-guaranteed loans for others totaling $40,003,000 and $25,697,000 as of December 31, 2003 and 2002 respectively. Servicing Rights Servicing rights acquired through 1) a purchase or 2) the origination of loans which are sold or securitized with servicing rights retained are recognized as separate assets or liabilities. Servicing assets or liabilities are recorded at the difference between the contractual servicing fees and adequate compensation for performing the servicing, and are subsequently amortized in proportion to and over the period of the related net servicing income or expense. Servicing assets are periodically evaluated for impairment. Servicing rights are not material at December 31, 2003 and 2002. Allowance for Loan Losses ------------------------- The allowance for loan losses is maintained to provide for losses related to impaired loans and other losses that can be expected to occur in the normal course of business. The determination of the allowance is based on estimates made by management, to include consideration of the character of the loan portfolio, specifically identified problem loans, potential losses inherent in the portfolio taken as a whole and economic conditions in the Bank's service area. Loans determined to be impaired or classified are individually evaluated by management for specific risk of loss. In addition, reserve factors are assigned to currently performing loans based on management's assessment of the following for each identified loan type: (1) inherent credit risk, (2) historical losses and, (3) where the Bank has not experienced losses, the loss experience of peer banks. These estimates are particularly susceptible to changes in the economic environment and market conditions. 24 PACIFIC STATE BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Allowance for Loan Losses (Continued) ------------------------- The Bank's Loan Committee 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. This allowance is established through a provision for loan losses which is charged to expense. Additions to the allowance are expected to maintain the adequacy of the total allowance after net charge-offs and loan growth. The allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively, reflects management's estimate of possible losses in the portfolio. Other Real Estate ----------------- Other real estate includes real estate acquired in full or partial settlement of loan obligations. When property is acquired, any excess of the Bank's recorded investment in the loan balance and accrued interest income over the estimated fair market value of the property, net of estimated selling costs, is charged against the allowance for loan losses. A valuation allowance for losses on other real estate is maintained to provide for temporary declines in value. The allowance is established through a provision for losses on other real estate which is included in other expenses. Subsequent gains or losses on sales or writedowns resulting from permanent impairments are recorded in other income or expenses as incurred. Bank Premises and Equipment --------------------------- Bank premises and equipment are carried at cost. Depreciation is determined using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. The useful lives of Bank premises are estimated to be twenty to twenty-seven years. The useful lives of furniture, fixtures and equipment are estimated to be two to seven years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the life of the asset or the life of the related lease, whichever is shorter. When assets are sold or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation and amortization are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in income for the period. The cost of maintenance and repairs is charged to expense as incurred. Intangible Assets ----------------- The Company recorded its acquisition in 2002 of the assets and liabilities of the Stockton branch of California Bank & Trust (see Note 17) as a business combination resulting in recognition of a core deposit intangible asset of $448,000 and goodwill of $718,000. The valuation of the core deposit intangible was based on the estimated fair value of deposits acquired and is amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of ten years. Goodwill is not amortized, but is measured annually for impairment. At December 31, 2003, no impairment of goodwill has been recognized in the Company's consolidated financial statements. Income Taxes ------------ The Company files its income taxes on a consolidated basis with its subsidiary. The allocation of income tax expense (benefit) represents each entity's proportionate share of the consolidated provision for income taxes. 25 PACIFIC STATE BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Income Taxes (Continued) ------------ Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial statement and tax bases of existing assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment. On the consolidated balance sheet, net deferred tax assets are included in accrued interest receivable and other assets. Earnings Per Share ------------------ Basic earnings per share (EPS), which excludes dilution, is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock, such as stock options, result in the issuance of common stock which shares in the earnings of the Company. The treasury stock method has been applied to determine the dilutive effect of stock options in computing diluted EPS. Earnings per share is retroactively restated to give effect to stock splits and dividends. Stock-Based Compensation ------------------------ At December 31, 2003, the Company had two stock-based employee compensation plans, the Pacific State Bancorp 1997 Stock Option Plan and the Pacific State Bancorp 1987 Stock Option Plan (the "Plans"), which are described more fully in Note 10. The Company accounts for these plans under the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related Interpretations. No stock-based employee compensation cost is reflected in net income, as all options granted under these plans had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. Pro forma adjustments to the Company's consolidated net earnings and earnings per share are disclosed during the years in which the options become vested. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to stock-based employee compensation. 2003 2002 2001 --------------- --------------- ---------------- Net income, as reported $ 2,052,688 $ 1,162,620 $ 1,035,980 Deduct: Total stock-based employee com- pensation expense determined under the fair value based method for all awards, net of related tax effects 94,800 29,900 28,600 --------------- --------------- ---------------- Pro forma net income $ 1,957,888 $ 1,132,720 $ 1,007,380 =============== =============== ================ Basic earnings per share - as reported $ 1.22 $ 0.72 $ 0.70 Basic earnings per share - pro forma $ 1.16 $ 0.70 $ 0.68 Diluted earnings per share - as reported $ 1.18 $ 0.69 $ 0.66 Diluted earnings per share - pro forma $ 1.13 $ 0.68 $ 0.65 Weighted average fair value of options granted during the year $ 3.75 $ 1.83 $ 1.34 26 PACIFIC STATE BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) 2.

This interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, Consolidated Financial Statements, addresses consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest entities ("VIE") that posses certain characteristics. FIN 46 requires that if a business enterprise has a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity, the assets, liabilities, and results of the activities of the variable interest entity must be included in the consolidated financial statements with those of the business enterprise. The Company adopted FIN 46 on December 31, 2003. Adoption of this standard required the Company to deconsolidate its investment in Pacific State Statutory Trust I, a Delaware statutory business trust, organized in June 2002. The deconsolidation of Pacific State Statutory Trust I, formed in connection with the issuance of trust preferred securities, appears to be an unintended consequence of FIN 46. In management's opinion, the effect of deconsolidation on the Company's financial position and results of operations was not material. As of December 31, 2003, management believes that the Company does not have any VIEs which would be consolidated under the provisions of FIN 46. In July 2003, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve Systems issued a supervisory letter instructing bank holding companies to continue to include the trust preferred securities in their Tier I capital for regulatory capital purposes until notice is given to the contrary. The Federal Reserve intends to review the regulatory implications of this accounting change and, if necessary or warranted, provide further appropriate guidance. There can be no assurance that the Federal Reserve will continue to allow institutions to include trust preferred securities in Tier I capital for regulatory capital purposes. On April 30, 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. This Statement amends and clarifies the accounting for derivative instruments by providing guidance related to circumstances under which a contract with a net investment meets the characteristics of a derivative as discussed in SFAS No. 133. The Statement also clarifies when a derivative contains a financing component. The Statement is intended to result in more consistent reporting for derivative contracts and must be applied prospectively for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003, except for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003. In management's opinion, the adoption of this Statement did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations. 27 PACIFIC STATE BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Impact of New Financial Accounting Standards (Continued) -------------------------------------------- In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity. This Statement establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. It requires that an issuer classify a financial instrument that is within its scope as a liability (or an asset in some circumstances). This Statement is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003, except for mandatorily redeemable financial instruments of nonpublic entities. For mandatorily redeemable financial instruments of a nonpublic entity, this Statement shall be effective for existing or new contracts for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2004. In management's opinion, adoption of this Statement did not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations. 3.

Management periodically evaluates each investment security relying primarily on industry analyst reports, observation of market conditions and interest rate fluctuations. Management believes it will be able to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the underlying investment securities and that the noted decline in fair value is due only to interest rate fluctuations. The amortized cost and estimated market value of investment securities at December 31, 2003 by contractual maturity are shown below.

BORROWING ARRANGEMENTS The Bank has unsecured short-term borrowing arrangements totaling $5,000,000 with two of its correspondent banks. There were no borrowings outstanding under these arrangements at December 31, 2003 and 2002. Additionally, the Bank has a borrowing arrangement with the Federal Reserve Bank secured by investment securities with amortized costs totaling $2,197,032 and $173,622 and estimated market values totaling $2,267,000 and $171,000 at December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. At December 31, 2003 and 2002, the Bank had no outstanding borrowings under this arrangement. During 2003, the Bank entered into a borrowing arrangement with the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco which allowed the Bank to borrow on either a short-term or long-term basis up to approximately $10,412,000 as of December 31, 2003 based on specific percentages of the collateral pledged. Various residential mortgage loans and Bank-owned investment securities totaling approximately $7,401,000 and $4,000,000, respectively, secure this borrowing arrangement. At December 31, 2003, the Bank had $1,000,000 in short-term advances outstanding from the Federal Home Loan Bank with an interest rate of 1.47% and a maturity date of December 9, 2004. At December 31, 2003, the Bank had $4,000,000 in long-term advances outstanding from the Federal Home Loan Bank with an interest rate of 2.79% and a maturity date of December 9, 2005. 8. SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES Pacific State Statutory Trust I is a Delaware business trust wholly owned by the Company and formed for the sole purpose of issuing trust preferred securities fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Company. In accordance with the provisions of FIN 46, the Trust is not consolidated and the Company's equity interest in the Trust is accounted for under the equity method and the Floating Rate Junior Subordinated Deferrable Interest Debentures (the "Subordinated Debentures") issued and guaranteed by the Company are reflected in the Company's consolidated balance sheet. 33 PACIFIC STATE BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) 8. SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES (Continued) During the second quarter of 2002, Pacific State Statutory Trust I issued 5,000 Floating Rate Capital Trust Pass-Through Securities (Trust Preferred Securities), with a liquidation value of $1,000 per security, for gross proceeds of $5,000,000. The entire proceeds of the issuance were invested by Pacific State Statutory Trust I in $5,155,000 of Subordinated Debentures issued by the Company, with identical maturity, repricing and payment terms as the Trust Preferred Securities issued by the Trust. The Subordinated Debentures represent the sole assets of Pacific State Statutory Trust I. The Subordinated Debentures mature on December 26, 2031, bear a current interest rate of 4.62% (based on 6-month London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus 3.45%), with repricing and payments due semi-annually. The Subordinated Debentures are redeemable by the Company, subject to receipt by the Company of prior approval from the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, on any June 26th or December 26th on or after June 26, 2007. The redemption price is par plus accrued and unpaid interest, except in the case of redemption under a special event which is defined in the Subordinated Debentures. The Trust Preferred Securities are subject to mandatory redemption to the extent of any early redemption of the Subordinated Debentures and upon maturity of the Subordinated Debentures on June 26, 2032. Holders of the Trust Preferred Securities are entitled to a cumulative cash distribution on the liquidation amount of $1,000 per security at the current rate per annum of 4.62%. For each successive period beginning on June 26th of each year, the rate will be adjusted to equal the 6-month LIBOR plus 3.45%; provided, however, that prior to June 26, 2007, such annual rate does not exceed 11.95%. The distributions on the Trust Preferred Securities are treated as interest expense in the consolidated statement of income. The Company has the option to defer payment of the distributions for a period of up to five years, as long as the Company is not in default on the payment of interest on the Subordinated Debentures. The Trust Preferred Securities issued in the offering were sold in private transactions pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Company has guaranteed, on a subordinated basis, distributions and other payments due on the Trust Preferred Securities. 9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Leases ------ The Bank leases branch offices and certain equipment under non-cancelable operating leases. The leases expire on various dates through 2009 and have various renewal options ranging from five to ten years. The lease on one branch office includes scheduled rent increases. The total amount of the rent payments is being charged to expense using a straight-line method over the term of the lease. The Bank has recorded a deferred credit to reflect the excess of rent expense over cash payments since inception of the lease. Future minimum lease payments are as follows: Year Ending December 31, ------------ 2004 $ 252,117 2005 252,117 2006 235,164 2007 235,164 2008 235,164 Thereafter 69,498 ----------------- $ 1,279,224 ================= 34 PACIFIC STATE BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) 9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (Continued) Leases (Continued) ------ Rental expense included in occupancy, furniture and equipment expense totaled $267,000, $273,000 and $267,000 for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Financial Instruments With Off-Balance-Sheet Risk ------------------------------------------------- The Bank is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business in order to meet the financing needs of its customers and to reduce its own exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. These financial instruments consist of commitments to extend credit and letters of credit. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized on the balance sheet. The Bank's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party for commitments to extend credit and letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Bank uses the same credit policies in making commitments and letters of credit as it does for loans included on the balance sheet. The following financial instruments represent off-balance-sheet credit risk: December 31, -------------------------------------- 2003 2002 ------------------ ------------------ Commitments to extend credit $ 42,536,000 $ 50,935,000 Letters of credit $ 837,000 $ 639,000 Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since some of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Bank evaluates each customer's creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Bank upon extension of credit, is based on management's credit evaluation of the borrower. Collateral held varies, but may include accounts receivable, inventory, equipment, income-producing commercial properties and residential real estate. Letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance or financial obligation 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 loans to customers. At December 31, 2003, commercial loan commitments represent approximately 48% of total commitments and are generally secured by various assets of the borrower. Real estate loan commitments represent approximately 44% of total commitments and are generally secured by property with a loan-to-value ratio not to exceed 75% to 80%. Consumer loan commitments represent the remaining 8% of total commitments and are generally unsecured. In addition, the majority of the Bank's commitments have variable interest rates. 35 PACIFIC STATE BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) 9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (Continued) Significant Concentrations of Credit Risk ----------------------------------------- The Bank's customers are primarily located in San Joaquin, Stanislaus, Calaveras and Tuolumne Counties. Approximately 30% of the Bank's loans are for general commercial uses, including professional, retail and small business, and 7% are for agricultural uses. Additionally, 18% of the Bank's loans are for the construction of residential and commercial real estate and 38% are loans which are collateralized by mortgages on residential and commercial real estate. Generally, real estate loans are secured by real property while commercial and other loans are secured by funds on deposit and business or personal assets. The remaining 7% of the Bank's loans are consumer installment loans. Repayment is generally expected from the proceeds of property sales and permanent financing for real estate construction loans and borrower cash flows for other loans. Contingencies ------------- The Company is subject to legal proceedings and claims which arise in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the amount of ultimate liability with respect to such actions will not materially affect the consolidated financial position or results of operations of the Company. Federal Reserve Requirements ---------------------------- Banks are required to maintain a combination of reserves with the Federal Reserve Bank and vault cash equal to a percentage of their reservable deposits. The reserve balances held with the Federal Reserve Bank or in the form of vault cash totaled $1,160,000 and $711,000 as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. 10. SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY Stock Split ----------- On September 18, 2003, the Company's Board of Directors approved a two-for-one stock split to shareholders of record at the close of business on September 30, 2003, effective on the same date. All shares outstanding, stock option and per share data in the consolidated financial statements have been retroactively restated to reflect the stock split as if it had been declared on January 1, 2001. Dividends --------- The Company's ability to pay cash dividends is dependent on dividends paid to it by the Bank and limited by California corporation law. Under California law, the holders of common stock of the Company are entitled to receive dividends when and as declared by the Board of Directors, out of funds legally available, subject to certain restrictions. The California general corporation law prohibits the Company from paying dividends on its common stock unless: (i) its retained earnings, immediately prior to the dividend payment, equals or exceeds the amount of the dividend or (ii) immediately after giving effect to the dividend, the sum of the Company's assets (exclusive of goodwill and deferred charges) would be at least equal to 125% of its liabilities (not including deferred taxes, deferred income and other deferred liabilities) and the current assets of the Company would be at least equal to its current liabilities, or, if the average of its earnings before taxes on income and before interest expense for the two preceding fiscal years was less than the average of its interest expense for the two preceding fiscal years, at least equal to 125% of its current liabilities. 36 PACIFIC STATE BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) 10. SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY (Continued) Dividends (Continued) --------- Upon declaration by the Board of Directors of the Company, all shareholders of record will be entitled to receive dividends. A significant source of cash for the Company is dividends from the Bank. The California Financial Code restricts the total dividend payment of any bank in any calendar year to the lesser of (1) the bank's retained earnings or (2) the bank's net income for its last three fiscal years, less distributions made to shareholders during the same three-year period. As a member of the Federal Reserve System, the Bank is also subject to similar restrictions imposed by Federal law. At December 31, 2003, Bank retained earnings of $4,198,000 were free of such restrictions and available for dividend payments to Bancorp. Earnings Per Share ------------------ A reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted earnings per share computations is as follows: Year Ended December 31, ---------------------------------------------------------- 2003 2002 2001 ------------------ ------------------ ------------------ Basic Earnings Per Share ------------------------ Numerator: Net income $ 2,052,688 $ 1,162,620 $ 1,035,980 Denominator: Weighted average shares outstanding 1,681,038 1,613,092 1,484,482 ------------------ ------------------ ------------------ Basic earnings per share $ 1.22 $ 0.72 $ 0.70 ================== ================== ================== Diluted Earnings Per Share -------------------------- Numerator: Net income $ 2,052,688 $ 1,162,620 $ 1,035,980 Denominator: Weighted average shares outstanding 1,681,038 1,613,092 1,484,482 Dilutive effect of stock options 59,847 82,644 85,062 ------------------ ------------------ ------------------ 1,740,885 1,695,756 1,569,544 ------------------ ------------------ ------------------ Diluted earnings per share $ 1.18 $ 0.69 $ 0.66 ================== ================== ================== Options to purchase 23,000 shares of common stock at a price of $5.19 outstanding during the first quarter were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2001 because their exercise prices were greater than the average market prices of the Company's common shares. All of the options were included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2003 and 2002. 37 PACIFIC STATE BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) 10. SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY (Continued) Stock Options ------------- During 1997 and 1987, the Company established Stock Option Plans. At December 31, 2003, 952 shares of common stock are reserved under the 1997 plan for issuance to employees and directors through incentive and nonstatutory agreements. Outstanding options under the 1987 Plan are exercisable until their expiration; however, no new options will be granted under that plan. The plans require that the option price may not be less than the fair market value of the stock at the date the option is granted, and that the stock must be paid in full at the time the option is exercised. The options under the plans expire on dates 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. A summary of the activity within the plans follows: 2003 2002 2001 ------------------------ ------------------------ ------------------------- Weighted Weighted Weighted Average Average Average Exercise Exercise Exercise Shares Price Shares Price Shares Price ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- Incentive Agreements -------------------- Options outstanding, beginning of year 167,612 $ 5.03 135,112 $ 3.76 145,512 $ 3.81 Options granted 193,750 $ 15.00 57,500 $ 7.49 5,000 $ 5.00 Options exercised (47,862) $ 3.22 (23,000) $ 3.60 (9,400) $ 4.01 Options canceled (19,652) $ 6.29 (2,000) $ 7.50 (6,000) $ 5.19 ----------- ----------- ----------- Options outstanding, end of year 293,848 $ 11.80 167,612 $ 5.03 135,112 $ 3.76 =========== =========== =========== Options exercisable, end of year 57,018 $ 4.67 87,840 $ 3.52 90,020 $ 3.30 =========== =========== =========== Nonstatutory Agreements ----------------------- Options outstanding, beginning of year 14,538 $ 2.28 49,524 $ 2.44 96,914 $ 2.38 Options granted 200,000 $ 15.00 Options exercised (8,788) $ 2.50 (34,986) $ 2.50 (47,390) $ 2.31 Options canceled ----------- ----------- ----------- Options outstanding, end of year 205,750 $ 14.64 14,538 $ 2.28 49,524 $ 2.44 =========== =========== =========== Options exercisable, end of year 5,750 $ 2.00 11,590 $ 2.25 46,576 $ 2.44 =========== =========== =========== 38 PACIFIC STATE BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) 10.

Failure to meet these minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory, and possibly additional discretionary, actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of their assets, liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Company's and the Bank's capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors. Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of total and Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets and of Tier 1 capital to average assets as set forth on the following table. Each of these components is defined in the regulations. Management believes that the Company and the Bank meet all their capital adequacy requirements as of December 31, 2003 and 2002. 39 PACIFIC STATE BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) 10. SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY (Continued) Regulatory Capital (Continued) ------------------ In addition, the most recent notification from the FDIC categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt correction action. To be considered well capitalized, the Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth below. There are no conditions or events since December 31, 2003 that management believes have changed the Bank's category.

EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS In 1990, the Bank initiated a 401(k) Savings Plan. Under the provisions of the plan, the Bank matches one-half of the employees' contributions up to a maximum of three percent of an employee's annual salary. All employees who are at least 21 years of age and have completed one year of service are eligible under the plan. The Bank's contributions vest at a rate of 20% after one year of service and an additional 20% for each year thereafter. Contributions to the plan totaled $41,000 in 2003, $42,000 in 2002 and $28,000 for the year ended December 31, 2001. Salary Continuation and Retirement Plans ---------------------------------------- Effective September 30, 2003, the Board of Directors approved salary continuation and retirement plans for six key executives. Under these plans, the executives will receive monthly payments for twenty years after retirement. These benefits are substantially equivalent to those available under split-dollar life insurance policies purchased by the Bank on the lives of the executives. In addition, the estimated present value of these future benefits is accrued over the period from the effective dates of the plans until the participants' expected retirement dates. In connection with these plans, the Bank purchased single premium life insurance policies with cash surrender values totaling $4,000,000 at December 31, 2003. On the consolidated balance sheet, the cash surrender values are included in accrued interest receivable and other assets. Income earned on these policies, net of expenses, totaled $58,000 for the year ended December 31, 2003. Income earned on these policies is not subject to Federal or state income tax under certain circumstances. 15. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME Comprehensive income is reported in addition to net income for all periods presented. Comprehensive income is a more inclusive financial reporting methodology that includes disclosure of other comprehensive income that historically has not been recognized in the calculation of net income. Unrealized gains and losses on the Company's available-for-sale investment securities are included in other comprehensive income. Total comprehensive income and the components of accumulated other comprehensive income are presented in the consolidated statement of changes in shareholders' equity. 43 PACIFIC STATE BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) 15.

DISCLOSURES ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Estimated fair values are disclosed for financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate fair value. These estimates are made at a specific point in time based on relevant market data and information about the financial instruments. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering the Company's entire holdings of a particular financial instrument for sale at one time, nor do they attempt to estimate the value of anticipated future business related to the instruments. In addition, the tax ramifications related to the realization of unrealized gains and losses can have a significant effect on fair value estimates and have not been considered in any of these estimates. Because no market exists for a significant portion of the Company's financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments and other factors. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the fair values presented. The following methods and assumptions were used by management to estimate the fair value of the Company's financial instruments at December 31, 2003 and 2002: Cash and cash equivalents: For cash and cash equivalents, the carrying amount is estimated to be fair value. Interest-bearing deposits in banks: The fair values of interest-bearing deposits in banks are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis, using interest rates available at the reporting date for similar deposits. Investment securities: For investment securities, fair values are based on quoted market prices, where available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are estimated using quoted market prices for similar securities and indications of value provided by brokers. 44 PACIFIC STATE BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) 16. DISCLOSURES ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Continued) Loans: For variable-rate loans that reprice frequently with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values. The fair values for the remaining loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using interest rates being offered at each reporting date for loans with similar terms to borrowers of comparable creditworthiness. The carrying amount of accrued interest receivable approximates its fair value. Cash surrender value of life insurance policies: The fair values of life insurance policies are based on current cash surrender values at each reporting date provided by the insurers. Deposits and short-term borrowings: The fair values for demand deposits are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date represented by their carrying amount. Fair values for fixed-rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis using interest rates offered at each reporting date by the Bank for certificates with similar remaining maturities. The carrying amount of accrued short-term borrowings and interest payable approximates their fair value. Long-term debt: The fair value of long-term debt is estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis using interest rates currently available to the Company for similar debt instruments. Subordinated debentures: The fair value of subordinated debentures was determined based on the current market value for the like-kind instruments of similar rates and terms. Commitments to extend credit: Commitments to extend credit are primarily for variable rate loans. For these commitments, there is no difference between the committed amounts and their fair values. Commitments to fund fixed rate loans and letters of credit are at rates which approximate fair value at each reporting date.

Forward-looking statements include statements in which words such as "expect," "anticipate," "intend," "plan," "believe," "estimate," "consider" or similar expressions are used. The Company's actual future results and shareholder values may differ materially from those anticipated and expressed in these forward-looking statements, which are based on management's beliefs and assumptions and on information currently available to management, and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. Such risks and uncertainties include, among others, (1) competitive pressures in the banking industry; (2) changes in the interest rate environment; (3) general economic conditions, either nationally or regionally; (4) changes in the regulatory environment; (5) changes in business conditions and inflation; and (6) changes in securities markets. Many of these factors are beyond the Company's ability to control or predict. Investors are cautioned not to put undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. In addition, the Company does not have any intention or obligation to update forward-looking statements contained in this Annual Report, even if new information, future events or other circumstances have made them incorrect or misleading. Except as specifically noted herein all references to the "Company" refer to Pacific State Bancorp, a California corporation. General Description of Business ------------------------------- Pacific State Bancorp is a holding company with one bank subsidiary, Pacific State Bank, (the "Bank"), and two unconsolidated subsidiary guarantor trusts, Pacific State Statutory Trusts I and II. Pacific State Bancorp commenced operations on June 24, 2002 when it acquired all the then issued and outstanding shares of Pacific State Bank under a plan of reorganization approved by the Bank's shareholders on May 9, 2002. The Bank is a California state chartered bank. The Bank is a member of the Federal Reserve System. The Bank's primary source of revenue is providing loans to customers who are predominately small to middle-market businesses and middle-income individuals. Pacific State Statuatory Trusts I and II are unconsolidated, wholly owned statutory business trusts formed in June 2002 and March 2004 for the exclusive purpose of issuing and selling trust preferred securities. The Bank has engaged since November 2, 1987 in a general commercial banking business, primarily in Stockton and San Joaquin County, and offers commercial banking services to residents and employers of businesses in the Bank's service area, including professional firms and small to medium sized retail and wholesale businesses and manufacturers. The Company as of January 22, 2004 had 60 employees, including 26 officers. The Bank does not engage in any non-bank lines of business. The business of the Bank is not to any significant degree seasonal in nature. The Bank has no operations outside California and has no material amount of loans or deposits concentrated among any one or few persons, groups or industries. The Bank's main office is located at 6 So. El Dorado Street, in Stockton, California; additional branches are located elsewhere in Stockton and in the communities of Angels Camp, Arnold, Groveland, Modesto and Tracy, California. 50 Business Plan ------------- The focus of the Company's business plan is to attract "middle market" accounts, but not to the exclusion of any other business which the Company can reasonably and profitably attract. In order to provide a level of service to attract such customers, the Company has structured its specific services and charges on a basis which management believes to be profitable, taking into consideration other aspects of the account relationship. The Company offers a range of banking services to its customers intended to attract the following specific types of accounts: relatively large consumer accounts; professional group and association accounts, including the accounts of groups or firms of physicians, dentists, attorneys and accountants; and accounts of small to medium-sized businesses engaged in retail, wholesale, light industrial and service activities. Trust Subsidiaries ------------------ The Company during 2002 and 2004 established business trust subsidiaries (the "Trusts") for the sole purpose of issuing capital securities ("Capital Securities") pursuant to declarations of trust (the "Declarations"). The proceeds from the sale of the Capital Securities were loaned to the Company under deeply subordinated debentures (the "Debentures") issued to the Trusts pursuant to indentures (the "Indentures"). Interest payments on the Debentures will flow through the Trusts to the Pooling Vehicles which are the holders of the Capital Securities and similar securities issued by other financial institutions. Payments of distributions by the Trusts to the Pooling Vehicles are guaranteed by the Company. See note 8 in the company's consolidated financial statement. Proceeds from the issuance of the 2002 subordinated debentures were used to provide the Bank with an additional $4.5 million in capital in order to support the continued growth of the Bank. The remaining $500,000 was placed in the Company for general corporate purposes. Proceeds from the issuance of the 2004 subordinated debentures were used to provide the Bank with an additional $3.5 million in capital in order to support the continued growth of the Bank. Product Lines and Services -------------------------- The Bank currently offers the following general banking services at all of its branches: commercial, construction and real estate loans and personal credit lines, interest on checking, U.S. Savings bond services, domestic and foreign drafts, banking by appointment, automatic transfer of funds between savings and checking accounts, business courier services, checking and savings accounts for personal and business purposes, domestic letters of credit, a depository for MasterCard and Visa drafts, federal depository services, cash management assistance, wire and telephone transfers, travelers' checks, Individual Retirement Accounts, time certificates of deposit, courier service for non-cash deposits, Visa and MasterCard, revolving lines of credit to consumers secured by deeds of trust on private residences, unsecured overdraft protection credit lines attached to checking accounts, ATM cards and MasterMoney debit cards via the Star, Cirrus, Plus, MasterCard and Visa networks. The Bank is not authorized to offer trust services. The Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco is the Company's primary correspondent relationship. The Bank currently also has correspondent relationships with City National Bank in Beverly Hills, Bank of America in San Francisco, First Tennessee Bank in Memphis, Tennessee, Compass Bank in Birmingham, Alabama, Wells Fargo Bank and Pacific Coast Bankers Bank. 51 The Bank recognizes that, in order to be competitive, it must attract a certain number of consumer accounts. Travelers checks, Individual Retirement Accounts, Visa and MasterCard, revolving lines of credit to consumers secured by deeds of trust on private residences, and unsecured overdraft protection credit lines attached to checking accounts currently offered by the Bank are designed to appeal particularly to consumers. Moreover, participation in a large-scale ATM network assists the Company in competing for consumer accounts. The Bank is an approved Small Business Administration and 504 lender, FarmerMac I and II, USDA, USDA Part-time Farmer Program, FHA and VA lender and California Capital lender. The Bank is a national leader in the underwriting of U.S. Department of Agriculture business and industry loans, as well as a Preferred Lender for this program. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS --------------------------------------------------------------- Critical Accounting Policies General Pacific State Bancorp's 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. A variety of factors could affect the ultimate value that is obtained either when earning income, recognizing an expense, recovering an asset or relieving a liability. We use historical loss factors as one factor in determining the inherent loss that may be present in our loan portfolio. Actual losses could differ significantly from the historical factors that we use. Other estimates that we use are related to the expected useful lives of our depreciable assets. In addition, GAAP itself may change from one previously acceptable method to another method. Although the economics of our transactions would be the same, the timing of events that would impact our transactions could change. A critical accounting estimate is one that requires a company to make assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time the accounting estimate is made. Different estimates that the company reasonably could have used for the accounting estimate in the current period, or changes in the accounting estimate that are reasonably likely to occur from period to period, could have a material impact on the presentation of the company's financial condition, changes in financial condition or results of operations. Allowance for Loan Losses The allowance for loan losses is an estimate of the losses that may be sustained in our loan portfolio. The allowance is based on two basic principles of accounting. (1) Statement of Financial Accountings Standards (SFAS) No. 5 "Accounting for Contingencies", which requires that losses be accrued when they are probable of occurring and estimable and (2) SFAS No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan", which requires that losses on impaired loans be accrued and measured 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. 52 Results of Operations Year Ended December 31, 2003 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2002 Net income for the year ended December 31, 2003, was $2,053,000 representing an increase of $890,000, or 76.5%, over net income of $1,163,000 for the year ended December 31, 2002. A contributing factor to the increase in net income was an increase in net interest income of $2,067,000 and a slight increase in non interest income of $343,000, due to an increase in the sale of loans. Return on average assets (ROA) was 1.07% and return on average common equity (ROE) was 16.86% in 2003 compared with .77% and 11.27% respectively in 2002. Diluted earnings per share for 2003 and 2002 were $1.18 and $0.69, respectively, an increase of 71.0%. The increase in earnings per share is due to the increase in income of 76.5%. The Company's average total assets increased to $191.4 million or 26.2% over $151.7 million in 2002. Net loans increased to $155.5 million over $134.0 million in 2002, an increase of $21.5 million or 16.1%. Deposits in 2003 grew to $176.3 million, or 11.5%, compared to $158.1 million at December 31, 2002. The increases on the balance sheet are attributable to the growth of the bank. Year Ended December 31, 2002 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2001 Net income for the year ended December 31, 2002, was $1,163,000, representing an increase of $127,000, or 12.3%, over net income of $1,036,000 for the year ended December 31, 2001. A contributing factor to the increase in net income was a slight increase in interest income of $37,000 and an increase in non-interest income of 29.4%, due to an increase in the sale of loans. Return on average assets (ROA) was .77% and return on average common equity (ROE) was 11.27% in 2002 compared with .87% and 12.04% respectively in 2001. Diluted earnings per share for 2002 and 2001 were $.69 and $.66, respectively, a increase of 3.8%. The increase in earnings per share was due to the increase in income of 12.3%. The Company's average total assets increased to $151.7 million or 27.7% over $118.8 million in 2001. Net loans increased to $134.0 million over $97.1 million in 2001, an increase of $36.9 million or 38.0%. Deposits in 2002 grew to $158.1 million, or 42.4%, compared to $111.1 million at December 31, 2001. The increases reflected on the balance sheet are attributable in part to the acquisition of $22.4 million in deposits and $8.0 million in loans from a branch of California Bank & Trust. 53 Net Interest Income The primary source of income for the Company is derived from net interest income. Net interest income represents the excess of interest and fees earned on interest-earning assets (loans, securities and federal funds sold) over the interest paid on deposits and borrowed funds. Net interest margin is net interest income expressed as a percentage of average earning assets. Net interest income increased to $8.4 million in 2003 versus $6.3 million in 2002 and $5.6 million in 2001, representing a 32.9% increase in 2003 over 2002, and 12.0% decrease in 2002 over 2001. The average balance of total earning assets during 2003 increased 26.8% to $172.2 million from $135.8 million. Average loan balances outstanding during 2003 increased $35.7 million or 30.8%, while average balances of investments and federal funds sold increased by $.5 million or 2.5%. The average yields on loans and federal funds sold in 2003 were lower by 37 and 45 basis points respectively, while the average yield on U.S. government securities decreased by 80 basis points. The decrease in average yields on loans is attributed to eleven decreases in the prime lending rate or 475 basis points during 2001 which fully impacted all of 2002, as well as a further decrease of 50 basis points in early 2002. During 2001, the prime rate dropped from 9.5% to 4.75% to 4.25% in 2002. The overall yield on average earning assets during 2003 declined 34 basis points to 6.46% from 6.80% for 2002. Total interest expense decreased to $2.8 million in 2003, from $2.9 million for 2002, and $3.6 million for 2001, representing a 3.4% decrease for 2003 over 2002, and a 19.4% decrease for 2002 over 2001. Average balances of interest-bearing liabilities increased to $142.4 million from $114.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2002, or 24.9%. Average certificates of deposit increased to $75.5 million in 2003 from $55.8 million in 2002, a 35.3% increase. The average rate paid on certificates of deposit during 2003 decreased 112 basis points, while the overall average rate paid on interest bearing deposits and borrowings decreased 64 basis points to 1.94% from 2.58% for 2002. The Company's net interest margin (net interest income divided by average earning assets) was 4.85% in 2003, 4.63% in 2002 and 5.15% in 2001. The combined effect of the increase in volume of earning assets and decrease in yield on earning assets, coupled with stable funding sources resulted in an increase of $2.1 million (32.9%) in net interest income for the year ended December 31, 2003 over 2002. The decrease in the Company's net interest margin from 2003 to 2001 is directly attributable to the ongoing effect of a decrease in prime rate of 475 basis points during 2001 and an additional decrease of 50 basis points during 2002, since most of the Bank's loans reprice when the prime rate changes. In spite of the prime rate changes, the net interest margin increased 22 basis points in 2003 which is attributed to growth and change in mix of earning assets, which was funded by growth of both interest-bearing and non-interest-bearing demand deposits. The following table sets forth the Company's daily average balance sheet, related interest income or expense and yield or rate paid for the periods indicated. The yield on tax-exempt securities has not been adjusted to a tax-equivalent yield basis. 54 Average Balances, Interest Income/Expense and Yields/Rates Paid (Dollars in thousands) Years Ended December 31, ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2003 2002 2001 ------------------------------- ------------------------------- ------------------------------- Average Yield/ Average Yield/ Average Yield/ Balance Interest Rate Balance Interest Rate Balance Interest Rate --------- --------- ------ --------- --------- ------ --------- --------- ------ Earning Assets Loans(1) $ 151,529 $ 10,578 6.98% $ 115,742 $ 8,508 7.35% $ 90,675 $ 8,168 9.00% Investment Securities 13,570 464 3.42% 15,838 664 4.19% 12,741 808 6.34% Federal Funds Sold 6,952 75 1.08% 4,183 64 1.53% 5,579 219 3.93% Average Earning Assets $ 172,051 $ 11,117 6.46% $ 135,763 $ 9,236 6.80% $ 108,995 $ 9,195 8.44% --------- --------- --------- Cash & Due From Banks $ 9,129 $ 9,286 $ 5,000 Bank Premises 7,689 5,136 4,109 Other Assets 4,101 2,803 1,839 Less: Allowance for loan loss (1,476) (1,264) (1,128) --------- --------- --------- Average Total Assets $ 191,494 $ 151,724 $ 118,815 ========= ========= ========= Interest Bearing Liabilities Demand Interest Bearing $ 51,370 $ 403 .78% $ 50,190 $ 698 1.39% $ 34,515 $ 679 1.97% Savings Deposits 5,473 14 .26% 5,084 14 .28% 3,814 24 .63% Certificates of Deposit 75,549 1,976 2.61% 55,849 2,084 3.73% 49,961 2,878 5.76% Other Borrowings 10,080 368 3.65% 2,914 151 5.18 -- -- --% --------- --------- ---- --------- --------- ---- --------- --------- ---- Average Interest Bearing Liabilities 142,472 $ 2,761 1.94% 114,037 $ 2,947 2.58% 88,290 $ 3,581 4.06% --------- --------- --------- Noninterest Demand 36,436 26,381 20,931 Other Liabilities 408 985 991 Shareholder Equity 12,178 10,321 8,603 --------- --------- --------- Average Liabilities and Shareholders Equity $ 191,494 $ 151,724 $ 118,815 ========= ========= ========= Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin $ 8,356 4.85% $ 6,289 4.63% $ 5,614 5.15% ========= ========= ========= (1) Interest income on loans includes fee income of $546,000, $121,000 and $127,000 for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively. 55 The Company's average total assets increased from $118.8 million in 2001 to $151.7 million in 2002 and $191.5 million in 2003, representing a 27.7% increase during 2002 over 2001, and a 26.2% increase in 2003 over 2002. Average portfolio loans increased from $90.7 million to $115.7 million in 2002 and $151.5 million in 2003, representing a 27.6% and 30.9% increase respectively. In addition the Company's average non-interest bearing demand deposits increased from $20.9 million in 2001 to $26.4 million in 2002 and $36.4 million in 2003, representing a 26.3% and 27.6% increase respectively. The growth came from the Bank's current market share. The following table sets forth changes in interest income and expense for each major category of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, and the amount of change attributable to volume and rate changes for the periods indicated. Changes attributable to rate/volume have been allocated to volume changes. The yield on tax-exempt securities has not been adjusted to a tax-equivalent yield basis.

Non-interest income also includes ATM fees earned at various locations. For the year ended December 31, 2003, non-interest income represented 15.09% of the Company's revenues versus 15.07% in 2002, and 12.08% in 2001. Historically, the Company's service charges on deposit accounts have lagged peer levels for similar services. This is consistent with the Company's philosophy of allowing customers to pay for services with compensating balances and the emphasis on core deposits as a significant funding source. 56 Total non-interest income increased to $2.0 million in 2003 over $1.6 million in 2002 and $1.3 million in 2001, representing an increase of 25.0% and an increase of 29.4% respectively. The increase in 2003 is directly attributable to the 13.7% increase in the gain from the sale of loans, an increase of 25.2% in other income on fees collected from brokering mortgage loans and an increase of 30.5% in service charges. The following table sets forth a summary of non-interest income for the periods indicated. Years Ended December 31, ------------------------------ (Dollars in thousands) 2003 2002 2001 ------ ------ ------ Non-interest Income: Service Charges $ 694 $ 531 $ 403 Rental Income from Other Real Estate 15 21 12 Gain on Sale of Guaranteed Loans 664 584 428 Gain on Sale of Investment Securities 2 29 69 Other Income 603 470 347 ------ ------ ------ Total Non-interest Income $1,978 $1,635 $1,259 ====== ====== ====== Non-interest Expense -------------------- Non-interest expense consists of salaries and related employee benefits, occupancy and equipment expenses, advertising and promotion expenses, postage, stationary and supplies expenses, telephone expenses, professional fees, directors' fees and other operating expenses. Non-interest expense for 2003 was $6.5 million compared to $5.8 million for 2002 and $4.9 million in 2001, representing an increase of $652,000 or 11.2% for 2003, and $914,000 or 18.5% for 2002. Increases in salaries and benefits are indicative of the additions to staff to expand branch operations in line with their respective growth for the year. The increase in occupancy and equipment expense is attributable to the general upgrade of technology systems. The following table sets forth a summary of non-interest expense for the periods indicated. Years Ended December 31, ------------------------------ (Dollars in thousands) 2003 2002 2001 ------ ------ ------ Non-interest Expense: Salaries & Benefits $3,068 $2,601 $2,217 Occupancy & Equipment 1,176 1,110 1,106 Professional Fees 480 484 320 Advertising & Promotion 98 120 82 Postage, Stationery & Supplies 212 186 178 Telephone 157 151 126 Director Fees 176 126 58 Other Expense 1,131 1,068 848 ------ ------ ------ Total Non-Interest Expenses $6,498 $5,846 $4,935 ====== ====== ====== 57 Income Taxes ------------ The Company's provision for income taxes includes both federal income and state franchise taxes and reflects the application of federal and state statutory rates to the Company's net income before taxes. The principal difference between statutory tax rates and the Company's effective tax rate is the benefit derived from investing in tax-exempt securities. Increases and decreases in the provision for taxes reflect changes in the Company's net income before tax. The following table reflects the Company's tax provision and the related effective tax rate for the periods indicated. Years Ended December 31, ---------------------------------------- (Dollars in thousands) 2003 2002 2001 --------- -------- -------- Tax Provision $ 1,247 $ 630 $ 520 Effective Tax Rate 37.8% 35.1% 33.4% Asset Quality ------------- The Company concentrates its lending activities primarily within Calaveras, San Joaquin, Stanislaus and Tuolumne Counties. The Company manages its credit risk through diversification of its loan portfolio and the application of underwriting policies and procedures and credit monitoring practices. Although the Company has a diversified loan portfolio, a significant portion of its borrowers' ability to repay the loans is dependent upon the professional services and residential real estate development industry sectors. Generally, the loans are secured by real estate or other assets and are expected to be repaid from cash flows of the borrower or proceeds from the sale of collateral. The following table sets forth the amounts of loans outstanding by category as of the dates indicated: As of December 31, ------------------------------------------------------------- (Dollars in thousands) 2003 2002 2001 2000 1999 --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- Commercial and Agricultural $ 57,638 $ 40,226 $ 34,079 $ 34,128 $ 32,128 Real estate - construction 28,219 33,887 23,561 16,875 15,608 Real estate - commercial 60,174 53,160 36,831 29,703 21,699 Installment & Other 10,823 7,734 3,493 2,729 2,911 Deferred Loan Fees and Costs 284 265 317 209 33 Allowance for Loan Losses (1,653) (1,306) (1,172) (1,001) (796) --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- Total Net Loans $ 155,485 $ 133,966 $ 97,109 $ 82,643 $ 71,583 ========= ========= ========= ========= ========= 58 Net portfolio loans have increased $21.5 million or 16.06%, to $155.0 million at December 31, 2003 over $134.0 million at December 31, 2002. Commercial and agricultural loans have increased $17.4 million or 43.3%, real estate construction projects have decreased $5.7 million or 16.7%, real estate commercial loans have increased by $7.0 million or 13.2% and installment loans have increased by $3.1 million or 40.0% over 2002. The portfolio mix remains stable as compared with the mix of a year ago, with commercial and agricultural loans of approximately 37.1% of total loans, real estate construction loans of 18.1%, commercial and residential real estate loans at 38.7%, and 7.0% for installment loans. The Company's practice is to place an asset on nonaccrual status when one of the following events occurs:(i) Any installment of principal or interest is 90 days or more past due (unless in management's opinion the loan is well-secured and in the process of collection), (ii) management determines the ultimate collection of principal or interest to be unlikely or iii) the terms of the loan have been renegotiated due to a serious weakening of the borrower's financial condition. Nonperforming loans are loans that are on nonaccrual, are 90 days past due and still accruing or have been restructured. The following table sets forth a summary of the Company's nonperforming loans and other assets as of the dates indicated: As of December 31, ------------------------------------- (Dollars in thousands) 2003 2002 2001 2000 1999 ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- Nonaccrual loans $ -0- $ 199 $ 585 $ 744 $ 47 90 days past due and still accruing interest -0- -0- -0- -0- 16 Other Real Estate Owned -0- 49 182 151 29 The Company's nonaccrual loans decreased from $199,000 to $0.00 during 2003. Other real estate owned ("OREO") decreased to $-0- in 2003 from $49,000 in 2002. The charge offs of $195,000 accounted for most of the decrease in nonaccrual loans. The Company assigns all loans a credit risk rating and monitors ratings for accuracy. The aggregate credit risk ratings are used to determine the allowance for loan losses. Management reviews the credit risk report with the Director Loan Committee on a weekly basis as well as with the full Board monthly. The following table sets forth the maturity distribution of the Company's loans outstanding as of December 31, 2003, which, based on remaining scheduled repayments of principal, were due within the periods indicated. After One Within through Five After Five (Dollars in thousands) One Year Years Years Total -------- ------------ ---------- -------- Commercial and agricultural loans $ 33,765 $ 18,325 $ 5,548 $ 57,638 Construction Loans 24,334 3,885 -- 28,219 -------- ------------ ---------- -------- Total $ 58,099 $ 22,210 $ 5,548 $ 85,857 ======== ============ ========== ======== Loans due after one year with: Fixed Rates $ 12,460 $ 2,718 $ 15,178 Variable Rates 9,750 2,829 12,579 ------------ ---------- -------- 59 Allowance for Loan Losses (ALL) In determining the amount of the Company's Allowance for Loan Losses ("ALL"), management assesses the diversification of the portfolio. Each credit is assigned a credit risk rating factor, and this factor, multiplied by the dollars associated with the credit risk rating, is used to calculate one component of the ALL. In addition, management estimates the probable loss on individual credits that are receiving increased management attention due to actual or perceived increases in credit risk. The Company makes provisions to the ALL on a regular basis through charges to operations that are reflected in the Company's statements of income as a provision for loan losses. When a loan is deemed uncollectible, it is charged against the allowance. Any recoveries of previously charged-off loans are credited back to the allowance. There is no precise method of predicting specific losses or amounts that ultimately may be charged-off on particular categories of the loan portfolio. Similarly, the adequacy of the ALL and the level of the related provision for possible loan losses is determined on a judgment basis by management based on consideration of a number of factors including (i) economic conditions, (ii) borrowers' financial condition, (iii) loan impairment, (iv) evaluation of industry trends, (v) industry and other concentrations, (vi) loans which are contractually current as to payment terms but demonstrate a higher degree of risk as identified by management, (vii) continuing evaluation of the performing loan portfolio, (viii) monthly review and evaluation of problem loans identified as having a loss potential, (ix) monthly review by the Board of Directors, (x) off balance sheet risks and (xi) assessments by regulators and other third parties. Management and the Board of Directors evaluate the allowance and determine its desired level considering objective and subjective measures, such as knowledge of the borrowers' businesses, valuation of collateral, the determination of impaired loans and exposure to potential losses. While management uses available information to recognize losses on loans, future additions to the allowance may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions and other qualitative factors. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Company's ALL. Such agencies may require the Company to provide additions to the allowance based on their judgment of information available to them at the time of their examination. There is uncertainty concerning future economic trends. Accordingly it is not possible to predict the effect future economic trends may have on the level of the provision for possible loan losses in future periods. The Company's principal lines of lending are (i) commercial and agricultural, (ii) real estate construction and (iii) commercial and residential real estate. The primary sources of repayment of the Company's commercial loans are the borrowers' conversion of short-term assets to cash and operating cash flow. The net assets of the borrower or guarantor are usually identified as a secondary source of repayment. The principal factors affecting the Company's risk of loss from commercial lending include each borrower's ability to manage its business affairs and cash flows, local and general economic conditions and real estate values in the Company's service area. The Company manages its commercial loan portfolio by monitoring its borrowers' payment performance and their respective financial condition and makes periodic adjustments, if necessary, to the risk grade assigned to each loan in the portfolio. The Company's evaluations of its borrowers are facilitated by management's knowledge of local market conditions and periodic reviews by a consultant of the Company's credit administration policies. The principal source of repayment of the Company's real estate construction loans is the sale of the underlying collateral or the availability of permanent financing from the Company or other lending source. The principal risks associated with real estate construction lending include project cost overruns in the project and deterioration of real estate values as a result of various factors, including competitive pressures and economic downturns. The Company manages its credit risk associated with real estate construction lending 60 by establishing loan-to-value ratios and loan-to-cost ratios on projects on an as-completed basis, inspecting project status in advance of controlled disbursements and matching maturities with expected completion dates. Generally, the Company requires a loan-to-value ratio of not more than 80% on single family residential construction loans. The principal source of repayment of the Company's real estate mortgage loans is the borrowers' operating cash flow. Similar to commercial loans, the principal factors affecting the Company's risk of loss in real estate mortgage lending include each borrower's ability to manage its business affairs and cash flows, local and general economic conditions and real estate values in the Company's service area. The Company manages its credit risk associated with real estate mortgage lending primarily by establishing maximum loan-to-value ratios and using strategies to match the borrower's cash flow to loan repayment terms. The Company's specific underwriting standards and methods for each of its principal lines of lending include industry-accepted analysis and modeling and certain proprietary techniques. The Company's underwriting criteria are designed to comply with applicable regulatory guidelines, including required loan-to-value ratios. The Company's credit administration policies contain mandatory lien position and debt service coverage requirements, and the Company generally requires a guarantee from 20% or more owners of its corporate borrowers. The ALL should not be interpreted as an indication that charge-offs in future periods will occur in the stated amounts or proportions. In management's opinion the estimated charge-offs by loan category for the year ended December 31, 2004 are: $200,000 for commercial and agriculture, $20,000 for installment and none for real estate construction or real-estate mortgage. The adequacy of the ALL is calculated upon three components. First is the credit risk rating of the loan portfolio, including all outstanding loans and leases. Every extension of credit has been assigned a risk rating based upon a comprehensive definition intended to measure the inherent risk of lending money. Each rating has an assigned risk factor expressed as a reserve percentage. Central to this assigned risk factor is the historical loss record of the Company. Secondly, established specific reserves are available for individual loans currently on management's watch and high-grade loan lists. These are the estimated potential losses associated with specific borrowers based upon the collateral and event(s) causing the risk ratings. The third component is unallocated. This reserve is for qualitative factors that may effect the portfolio as a whole, such as those factors described above. Management believes the assigned risk grades and our methods for managing risk are satisfactory. The provision for loan losses increased to $536,000 for 2003 from $286,000 in 2002. The increase in the amount of the provision is a direct result of the Company's growth in loans during 2003 as well as in-depth analysis of the loan portfolio and the loan loss history of the Company. Net charge-offs were $195,000 or .13% of average loans during 2003. Management does not believe that there were any trends indicated by the detail of the aggregate charge-offs for any of the periods discussed. 61 The following table summarizes the activity in the ALL for the periods indicated.

Generally, all securities are purchased with the intent and ability to hold the security for long-term investment, and the Company has both the ability and intent to hold "held-to-maturity" investments to maturity. The Company does not engage in trading activities. Investment securities held-to-maturity are carried at cost adjusted for the accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums. Securities available-for-sale may be sold to implement the Company's asset/liability management strategies and in response to changes in interest rates, prepayment rates and similar factors. Securities available-for-sale are recorded at market value and unrealized gains or losses, net of income taxes, are reported as accumulated other comprehensive income or loss, in a separate component of shareholder's equity. Gain or loss on sale of investment securities is based on the specific identification method. Investment securities held-to-maturity at December 31, 2003, consisted of mortgage-backed securities totaling $181,000 with a remaining contractual maturity of 11 to 18 years and a weighted-average yield to maturity of 6.55%. 62 The following table summarizes the contractual maturities of the Company's investment securities held as available-for-sale at their carrying value and their weighted-average yields at December 31, 2003. The yield on tax-exempt securities has not been adjusted to a tax-equivalent yield basis.

This process is managed not by formally monitoring the cash flows from operations, investing and financing activities as described in the Company's statement of cash flows, but through an understanding principally of depositor and borrower needs. As loan demand increases, the Company can use asset liquidity from maturing investments along with deposit growth to fund the new loans. With respect to assets, liquidity is provided by cash and money market investments such as interest-bearing time deposits, federal-funds sold, available-for-sale investment securities, and principal and interest payments on loans. With respect to liabilities, liquidity is provided by core deposits, shareholders' equity and the ability of the Company to borrow funds and to generate deposits. Because estimates of the liquidity need of the Company may vary from actual needs, the Company maintains a substantial amount of liquid assets to absorb short-term increases in loans or reductions in deposits. As loan demand decreases or loans are paid off, investment assets can absorb these excess funds or deposit rates can be decreased to run off excess liquidity. Therefore, there is some correlation between financing activities associated with deposits and investing activities associated with lending. The Company's liquid assets (cash and due from banks, federal funds sold, and available-for-sale investment securities) totaled $36.0 million or 20.0% of total assets at December 31, 2003, $17.3 million or 14.3% of total assets at December 31, 2002 and $25.2 million or 22.2% of total assets at December 31, 2001. The Company expects that its primary source of liquidity will be earnings of the Company, acquisition of core deposits, and wholesale borrowing arrangements. Capital Resources ----------------- Capital adequacy is a measure of the amount of capital needed to sustain asset growth and act as a cushion for losses. Capital protects depositors and the deposit insurance fund from potential losses and is a source of funds for the investments the Company needs to remain competitive. Historically, capital has been generated principally from the retention of earnings. 64 Overall capital adequacy is monitored on a day-to-day basis by the Company's management and reported to the Company's Board of Directors on a quarterly basis. The Bank's regulators measure capital adequacy by using a risk-based capital framework and by monitoring compliance with minimum leverage ratio guidelines. Under the risk-based capital standard, assets reported on the Company's balance sheet and certain off-balance sheet items are assigned to risk categories, each of which is assigned a risk weight. This standard characterizes an institution's capital as being "Tier 1" capital (defined as principally comprising shareholders' equity) and "Tier 2" capital (defined as principally comprising the qualifying portion of the ALLL). The minimum ratio of total risk-based capital to risk-adjusted assets, including certain off-balance sheet items, is 8%. At least one-half (4%) of the total risk-based capital is to be comprised of Tier 1 capital; the balance may consist of debt securities and a limited portion of the ALLL. As of December 31, 2003, the most recent notification by the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco (FRBSF) categorized the Company as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized the Company must meet the minimum ratios as set forth below. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the institution's category. The Company's and the Bank's risk-based capital ratios are presented below.

The Company's primary source of cash is dividends from the Bank. The Bank's ability to pay dividends is subject to certain regulatory requirements. The California Financial Code restricts the total dividend payment of any bank in any calendar year to the lesser of (1) the bank's retained earnings or (2) the bank's net income for its last three fiscal years, less distributions made to shareholders' during the same three-year period. As of December 31, 2003, the Bank had $4,198,000 in retained earnings available for dividends to shareholders. The power of the board of directors of an insured depository institution to declare a cash dividend or other distribution with respect to capital is subject to statutory and regulatory restrictions which limit the amount available for such distribution depending upon the earnings, financial condition and cash needs of the institution, as well as general business conditions. 67 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Company and Bank Officers - ------------------------- Steven A.
