                       For Immediate Release July 21, 2005
             Pacific State Bancorp Announces Record 2nd Quarter and
                           Mid-Year Earnings for 2005

Stockton, California - July 21, 2005 - Steven A. Rosso, President and C.E.O. of
Pacific State Bancorp (PSBC) of Stockton, California, the parent company of
Pacific State Bank, announced record earnings of $1,057,000 for the 2nd quarter
of 2005 marking the first million plus quarter in the history of the Company.
This represents an increase of $281,000, or 36.1%, over the net income for the
2nd quarter of 2004. The results of the 2nd quarter earnings combined with the
previous record 1st quarter earnings of $948,000 resulted in record year to date
net income of $2,005,000. The mid-year net income represents an increase of
$571,000, or 39.8%, over the six month period ended June 30, 2004.

Total Assets for the Company declined as of June 30, 2005, by $8,341,000 or 3.1%
compared to March 31, 2005 but are up $9,124,000 from December 31, 2004. The
primary reason for the decline in the 2nd quarter was the pay-off of two large
cash collateralized loans. Even considering these pay-offs, net loans increased
by $15,729,000 or 8.0% at June 30, 2005 from March 31, 2005. Net loans have also
increased year to date by $13,011,000 or 6.52% from December 31, 2004. The
bank's loan portfolio continues to show good growth and strong credit quality
with no significant non-performing loans at June 30, 2005. Total charged off
loans for the year equaled 0.01% of average loans.


Deposits declined by $10,409,000 or 4.33% at June 30, 2005 compared to March 31,
2005. The majority of the decline in deposits is attributed to pay-off of two
cash collateralized loans. Even with the 2nd quarter decline, year to date
deposits increased by $6,264,000 or 2.80%. Non-interest bearing demand deposits
at June 30, 2005 increased by $7,718,000 or 15.34% from the end of the first
quarter 2005. Net interest income after provision for loan losses increased
$926,000, or 39.57%, to $3,266,000 for the 2nd quarter ended June 30, 2005
compared to the 2nd quarter of 2004. Year to date net interest income after the
provision also increased significantly, up $1,441,000, or 31.20%, to $6,009,000
over the same period in 2004. The Company did experience a decline in
non-interest income in the 2nd quarter of 2005 of $103,000, or 14.71%, compared
to the 2nd quarter of 2004. The primary decline occurred in service charge
income and mortgage fees. On a year to date basis, non-interest income increased
$195,000 or 16.65% over the same period in the prior year. The Company
experienced increases both for the quarter and the year in non-interest expense
of $421,000, or 23.73%, and $748,000, or 21.50%, respectively. The primary areas
of increased cost were in salaries and benefits, as new staff was added to
maintain and prepare for planned growth.
