Bancorp and Subsidiary NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) 1. GENERAL 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. The Bank is a California state chartered bank and 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 individuals within the Bank's service area. Pacific State Statuatory Trusts I and II are unconsolidated, wholly owned statutory business trusts formed in June 2002 and March 2004, respectively, 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 the City of 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 September 30, 2005 had 69 employees, including 28 officers. The Bank does not engage in any non-bank lines of business and is not to any significant degree seasonal in nature. The Bank's Administrative headquarters are located at 1899 W. March Lane, Stockton, California. The Bank operates seven branches with its main office 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. In 2004, the company opened a Loan Production Office in Castro Valley, California. 2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position of Pacific State Bancorp (the "Company") at September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, and the results of its operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2005 and 2004,and its cash flows for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 in conformity with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Certain disclosures normally presented in the notes to the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for annual financial statements have been omitted. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's 2004 Annual Report to Shareholders. The results of operations for the three and nine month period ended September 30, 2005 may not necessarily be indicative of the operating results for the full year. In preparing such financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet and revenues and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant changes in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan and lease losses, the provision for income taxes and the estimated fair value of investment securities. Management has determined that all of the commercial banking products and services offered by the Company are available in each branch of the Bank, that all branches are located within the same economic environment and that management does not allocate resources based on the performance of different lending or transaction activities. Accordingly, the Company and it's subsidiary operate as one business segment. No customer accounts for more than 10% of the revenue for the Bank or the Company. On September 16, 2004, 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, 2004, effective on the same date. All shares outstanding, stock option and per 4 share data in the condensed consolidated financial statements have been retroactively restated to give effect to the stock split. 3. LOANS Outstanding loans are summarized below: September 30 December 31, ================================================================================ 2005 2004 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (Iin thousands) Commercial $ 38,467 $ 40,562 Agriculture 15,526 15,007 Real estate -commercial 121,775 109,895 Real estate-construction 32,624 22,965 Installment & Other 12,807 13,121 ------------ ------------ 221,199 201,550 Deferred loan fees and costs, net 217 199 Allowance for loan and lease losses (2,414) (2,214) ------------ ------------ Total Net Loans $ 219,002 $ 199,535 ================================================================================ 4. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES The Company is party to claims and legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of the Company's management, the ultimate liability with respect to such proceedings will not have a materially adverse effect on the financial condition or results of operations of the Company as a whole. In the normal course of business there are outstanding various commitments to extend credit which are not reflected in the financial statements, including loan commitments of approximately $48,931,000 and $41,868,000 and stand-by letters of credit of $2,054,000 and $498,000 at September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively. However, all such commitments will not necessarily culminate in actual extensions of credit by the Company during 2005. Approximately $20,564,000 of the loan commitments outstanding at September 30, 2005 are for real estate loans and are expected to fund within the next twelve months. The remaining commitments primarily relate to revolving lines of credit or other commercial loans, and many of these are expected to expire without being drawn upon. Therefore, the total commitments do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Each potential borrower and the necessary collateral are evaluated on an individual basis. Collateral varies, but may include real property, bank deposits, debt or equity securities or business assets. Stand-by letters of credit are commitments written to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. These guarantees are issued primarily relating to purchases of inventory by commercial customers and are typically short term in nature. Credit risk is similar to that involved in extending loan commitments to customers and accordingly, evaluation and collateral requirements similar to those for loan commitments are used. Virtually all such commitments are collateralized. The deferred liability related to the Company's stand-by letters of credit was not significant at September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004. 5. EARNINGS PER SHARE COMPUTATION Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that could occur if outstanding stock options were exercised. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period plus the dilutive effect of options. 5 6. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME Comprehensive income is reported in addition to net income for all periods presented. Comprehensive income is made up of net income plus other comprehensive income or loss. Other comprehensive income or loss, net of taxes, is comprised of the unrealized gains or losses on available-for-sale investment securities. The following table shows comprehensive income and its components for the periods indicated: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended --------------------------- ---------------------------- (in thousands) 9/30/2005 9/30/2004 9/30/2005 9/30/2004 ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- Net Income $ 1,198 $ 894 $ 3,203 $ 2,328 ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- Other Comprehensive Income (Loss): Change in unrealized gain on available for sale securities 59 214 (34) 29 Reclassification adjustment -- -- -- -- ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- Total Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) 59 214 (34) 29 Total Comprehensive Income 1,257 1,108 3,169 2,357 =========== =========== =========== =========== 7. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION At September 30, 2005, the Company has one stock-based employee compensation plan, the Pacific State Bancorp 1997 Stock Option Plan. The Company accounts for this plan 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. 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. 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.

ACCOUNTING PRONOUCEMENTS Share-Based Payments In December 2004 the FASB issued Statement Number 123 (revised 2004) (FAS 123 (R)), Share-Based Payments. FAS 123 (R) requires all entities to recognize compensation expense in an amount equal to the fair value of share-based payments such as stock options granted to employees. In April 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission adopted a rule that defers the compliance date of FAS 123(R) from the first reporting period beginning after June 15, 2005 to the first fiscal year beginning after June 15, 2005, January 1, 2006 for the Company. Management has not completed its evaluation of the effect that FAS 123 (R) will have, but believes that the effect will be consistent with its previous pro forma disclosures. FAS 123 (R) allows for either a modified prospective recognition of compensation expense or a modified retrospective recognition. The Company currently intends to apply the modified prospective recognition method and implement the provisions of FAS 123 (R) beginning in the first quarter of 2006. Management has completed its evaluation of the effect that FAS 123 (R) will have and believes that the effect will be consistent with its pro forma disclosures, see Note 7. ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Certain matters discussed in this Quarterly Report are forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, among others (1) significant increases in competitive pressures in the financial services industry; (2) changes in the interest rate environment resulting in reduced margins; (3) general economic conditions, either nationally or regionally, may be less favorable than expected, resulting in among other things, a deterioration in credit quality; (4) changes in the regulatory environment; (5) loss of key personnel; (6) fluctuations in the real estate market; (7) changes in business conditions and inflation; (8) operational risks including data processing systems failures and fraud; and (9) changes in the securities market. Therefore the information set forth herein should be carefully considered when evaluating the business prospects of the Company. When the Company uses in this Quarterly Report the words "anticipate", "estimate", "expect", "project", "intend, "commit", "believe" and similar expressions, the Company intends to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements are not guarantees of performance and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including those described in this Quarterly Report. Should one or more of the uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, estimated, expected, projected, intended, committed or believed. The future results and stockholder values of the Company may differ materially from those expressed in these forward-looking statements. Many factors that will determine these results and values are beyond the Company's ability to control or predict. For those statements, the Company claims the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. INTRODUCTION Effective July 12, 2005, trading of Pacific State Bancorp common stock began on the Nasdaq(TM) National Market under the symbol of "PSBC". Prior to July 12, 2005 the Company was traded on the OTC Bulletin Board under the same symbol. The following discussion and analysis sets forth certain statistical information relating to the company as of September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004 and the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2005 and 2004. The discussion should be read in conjunction with condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this 10-Q and the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Pacific State Bancorp's Annual Report filed on form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES There have been no changes to the Company's critical accounting policies from those discussed in the Company's 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K. 7 OVERVIEW The Company's net income increased $304 thousand or 34.0% to $1,198 thousand for the third quarter of 2005 from $894 thousand for the same period in 2004. The primary contributors to the increase in net income for the third quarter of 2005 was the $1,184 thousand increase in net interest income and a $48 thousand decrease in the provision for loan losses. These changes were partially offset by a decrease in non-interest income of $240 thousand, an increase in non-interest expenses of $521 thousand consisting primarily of increases in salaries and benefits of $402 thousand, occupancy expenses of $24 thousand, furniture and equipment expenses of $31 thousand and other expenses of $64 thousand and an increase in the provision for income taxes of $167 thousand. Diluted earnings per share were $0.31 for the third quarter of 2005 up 29.2% from the $0.24 for the same period in 2004. The Company's net income increased $875 thousand or 37.6% to $3,203 thousand for the nine month period ended September 30, 2005 from $2,328 thousand for the same period in 2004. The primary contributors to the increase in net income for the first nine months of the 2005 were $2,516 thousand increase in net interest income and a decrease in the provision for loan losses of $156 thousand. These changes were partially offset by a slight decrease in non-interest income of $46 thousand, an increase in non-interest expenses of $1,269 thousand consisting primarily of increases in salaries and benefits of $983 thousand, an increase in occupancy expenses of 82 thousand, furniture and equipment expense of $82 thousand and other expenses of $122, thousand and an increase in the provision for income taxes of $482 thousand. and. Diluted earnings per share were $0.82 for the first nine months of 2005 up 30.2% from the $0.63 for the same period in 2004. Total assets at September 30, 2005 were $294 million, an increase of $40 million or 15.7%, from the $254 million at December 31, 2004. The growth in assets was primarily in the Company's loans and Federal funds sold. Loans grew $19 million or 9.5% to $219 million at September 30, 2005 from $200 million at December 31, 2004 while Federal funds sold grew $17 million over the same period. The growth in assets was funded by the $35 million or 6.4% growth in deposits consisting of $10 million or 5.5% in non-interest bearing deposits and $25 million or 14.5% growth in interest bearing deposits and the net income of the Company. The annualized return on assets was 1.69% and 1.57% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to 1.46% and 1.39% for the same periods in 2004. The annualized return on equity was 24.76% and 23.65% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to 23.53% and 21.72% for the same periods in 2004. RESULTS OF OPERATION FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2005 Net interest income before provision for loan losses. Net interest income, on a non tax equivalent basis, was $3.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005, an increase of $1,184 thousand or 46.1% from $2.6 million for the same period in 2004. The increase in net interest income was primarily attributed to the volume increase in the Company's average loan and investment balances supported by the overall increases in the yields earned primarily on loans and Federal funds sold. These increases were partially offset by the increases in both the level of average interest bearing liabilities and the increase in the average rates paid. Interest income increased $1.7 million or 51.8% to $5.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005 from $3.4 million for the same period in 2004. The increase in interest income was primarily attributed to volume increases in investment and loan balances and an increase in yield, particularly in loans, Federal funds sold and investment securities. The Company's average loan balances were $220.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005, up $35.2 million or 19.0% from $184.9 million for the same period in 2004. The Company's average loan yield was 8.72% for the three months ended September 30, 2005, up 185 basis points from the 6.87% yield for the same period in 2004. Although the Company's average balances of Federal funds sold decreased $14.0 million to $11.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005 from the $25.5 million for the same period in 2004 interest income increased $57 thousand a a result of the increase in yield of 247 basis points. Average yields increased to 2.89% from 0.42% for the same period in 2004. The Company's average investment balances were $18.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005, up $2.7 million, or 16.9%, from $16.1 million for the same period in 2004. The Company's average investment yield was 4.04% for the three months ended September 30, 2005, up 68 basis points from the 3.36% yield for the same period in 2004. As a result of the change in mix of the Company's earning assets and the yields earned, the overall yield on average earning assets increased 224 basis points to 8.09% for the three months ended September 30, 2005, from 5.85% for the same period in 2004 8 Interest expense increased $562 thousand, or 69.9% to $1.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005, from $803 thousand for the same period in 2004. The increase is primarily attributed to both the increase in interest-bearing demand deposit volumes and in the increases in the rates paid on interest bearing liabilities. The Company's average balances of interest bearing demand deposits were $103.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005, up $44.4 million, or 75.4% from $58.9 million for the same period in 2004. Additionally the average rate paid on interest-bearing demand deposits increased 56 basis points to 2.29% for the three months ended September 30, 2005 from 1.73% for the same period in 2004. Although the Company's average balances of time deposits decreased $14.0 million to $77.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005 from the $91.2 million for the same period in 2004 interest expense increased $186 thousand a result of the increase in rates paid of 128 basis points. Average rates paid increased to 3.06% from 1.78% for the same period in 2004. As a result of the changes noted above, the net interest margin for the three months ended September 30, 2005 increased 147 basis points or 32.9% to 5.93%, from 4.46% for the same period in 2004. 9 The following table presents for the three month periods indicated the distribution of consolidated average assets, liabilities and shareholders' equity. It also presents the amounts of interest income from the interest earning assets and the resultant yields expressed in both dollars and rate percentages. Average balances are based on daily averages.

The Company recorded $90 thousand in provision for loan losses for the three month period ended September 30, 2005, down $48 thousand or 34.8%, from the $138 thousand provision for the same period in 2004. Management assesses its loan quality monthly to maintain an adequate allowance for loan losses. Based on the information currently available, management believes that the allowance for loan losses is adequate to absorb probable losses in the portfolio. However, no assurance can be given that the Company may not sustain charge-offs which are in excess of the allowance in any given period. The Company's loan portfolio composition and non-performing assets are further discussed under the "Financial Condition" section below. Non-Interest Income. During the three months ended September 30, 2005, total non-interest income decreased $240 thousand or 29.4% to $577 thousand, down from $817 thousand for the comparable period in 2004. The decrease in non interest income was primarily the result of decreases in service charge income, other fee income and a decrease in gains on sales of loans. The decrease in service charge income is the result of (1) higher earnings rate paid on accounts to offset fees charged through account analysis for certain depositors for charges based on their volume of activity and (2) a decrease in the volume of account overdrafts. Service charge income decreased $89 thousand or 31.1% to $197 thousand, down from $286 thousand for the comparable period in 2004. The decrease in other fee income is the result of a decrease in mortgage referral fees. Other fee income decreased $53 thousand or 18.2% to $238 thousand, from $291 thousand for the comparable period in 2004. The decrease in gain on sale of loan income is due to the timing of the sale of the loans as well as the decrease in the number and dollar amount of loans sold. For the three month period ended September 30, 2005, the company sold two loans as compared to one for the same period ended 2004. Income derived for the gain on sale of loans decreased $98 thousand or 40.8% to $142 thousand, down from $240 thousand for the comparable period in 2004. The company expects that this trend will continue through the fourth quarter of 2005. 11 Non-Interest Expenses. Non-interest expense consists of salaries and related employee benefits, occupancy and equipment expenses, professional fees, appraisal fees, directors' fees, postage, stationary and supplies expenses, telephone expenses, data processing expenses, advertising and promotion expense and other operating expenses. Non-interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2005 was 2.3 million compared to $1.8 million for the same period in 2004, representing an increase of $521 thousand or 28.3%. Increases in salaries and benefits are indicative of the additions to staff to expand branch operations in line with their respective growth. The increase in occupancy expense is attributable to the addition of a loan production facility in Alameda County. The increase Furniture and Equipment are attributable to the addition of the loan production office in Castro Valley, CA. The increase in other expense relates to the increased expenses associated with the growth of the company. The following table sets forth a summary of non-interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004: Three Months Ended ----------------------------- September 30, September 30, (In thousands) 2005 2004 ------------ ------------ Non-interest Expense: Salaries & Benefits $ 1,255 $ 853 Occupancy 224 200 Furniture and Equipment 156 125 Other Expense 726 662 ------------ ------------ Total Non-Interest Expenses $ 2,361 $ 1,840 ============ ============ 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 and Company owned life insurance. 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 three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004. Three Months Ended ---------------------------- September 30, September 30, (In thousands) 2005 2004 ---------- ---------- Tax Provision $ 680 $ 513 Effective Tax Rate 36.21% 36.46% 12 RESULTS OF OPERATION FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2005 Net interest income before provision for loan losses. Net interest income, on a non tax equivalent basis was $9.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, an increase of $2.5 million or 33.9% from $7.4 million for the same period in 2004. The increase in net interest income was primarily attributed to volume increases in the Company's average level of earning assets, primarily in loans, supported by increases in the yields earned . These increases were partially offset by the increases in both the overall level of average interest bearing liabilities and the increase in the average rates paid. Interest income increased $4.1 million or 42.8% to $13.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 from $9.5 million for the same period in 2004. The increase in interest income was primarily attributed to volume increases in all earning assets but primarily in loans as well as an increase in yields. The Company's average loan balances were $210.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, up $37.1 million or 21.3% from $173.8 million for the same period in 2004. The Company's average loan yield was 8.06% for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, up 106 basis points from the 7.00% yield for the same period in 2004. The Company's average investment balances were $17.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, up $4.2 million, or 30.8%, from $13.7 million for the same period in 2004. The Company's average investment yield was 3.58% for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, up 11 basis points from the 3.47% yield for the same period in 2004. The Company's average Federal funds sold balances were $9.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, up $4.6 million, or 86.8%, from $5.3 million for the same period in 2004. The Company's average Federal funds sold yield was 2.81% for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, up 174 basis points from the 1.07% yield for the same period in 2004. As a result of the change in mix of the Company's earning assets and the yields earned, the yield on average earning assets was up 97 basis points to 7.46% for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, from 6.49% for the same period in 2004 period. Interest expense increased $1.5 million, or 74.0% to $3.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, up from $2.1 million for the same period in 2004. The increase is primarily attributed to both the increase in interest-bearing demand deposit volumes and in the increases in the rates paid on interest bearing liabilities. The Company's average balance of interest bearing demand deposits was $103.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, up $47.4 million, or 85.0% from $55.7 million for the same period in 2004. Additionally the average rate paid on interest-bearing demand deposits increased 106 basis points to 2.25% for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 from 1.19% for the same period in 2004. Although the Company's average balances of time deposits decreased $14.4 million to $74.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 from the $88.5 million for the same period in 2004 interest expense increased $202 thousand a result of the increase in rates paid of 73 basis points. Average rates paid increased to 2.61% from 1.88% for the same period in 2004. As a result of the changes noted above, the net interest margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 increased by 40 basis points or 0.8% to 5.46, up from 5.06% for the same period in 2004. 13 The following table presents for the nine month periods indicated the distribution of consolidated average assets, liabilities and shareholders' equity.

The Company recorded $210 thousand in provision for loan losses for the nine month period ended September 30, 2005, down $156 thousand or 42.6%, from the $366 thousand provision for the same period in 2004. Management assesses its loan quality monthly to maintain an adequate allowance for loan losses. Based on the information currently available, management believes that the allowance for loan losses is adequate to absorb probable losses in the portfolio. However, no assurance can be given that the Company may not sustain charge-offs which are in excess of the allowance in any given period. The Company's loan portfolio composition and non-performing assets are further discussed under the"Financial Condition" section below. Non-Interest Income. During the nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to the same period in the prior year , total non-interest income remained fairly consistent at $1.9 million. The slight decrease in non interest income was primarily the result of an decrease in service charge and other fee income, offset by an in crease in gain on sale of loans. The increase in gain on sale of loan income is due to the timing of the sale of the loans as well as the increase in the number and dollar amount of loans sold. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2005, the company sold nine loans as compared two for the same period in 2004. As a result of the increased sales the gain on sale of loans increased $415 thousand or 132.6% to $728 thousand, up from $313 thousand for the comparable period in 2004. The decrease in service charge income is the result of (1) higher earnings rate paid on accounts to offset fees charged though account analysis for certain depositors for charges based on their volume of activity and (2) a decrease in the volume of account overdrafts. Service charge income decreased $324 thousand or 36.4% to $567 thousand, down from $891 thousand for the comparable period in 2004. The decrease in other fee income is the result of a decrease in mortgage referral fees. Other fee income decreased $137 thousand or 17.5% to $648 thousand, from $785 thousand for the comparable period in 2004. 15 Non-Interest Expenses. Non-interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 was $6.6 million compared to $5.3 million for the same period in 2004, representing an increase of $1.3 million or 23.9%. Increases in salaries and benefits are indicative of the additions to staff to expand branch operations in line with their respective growth. The increase in occupancy expense is attributable to the addition of a loan production facility in Alameda County. The increase Furniture and Equipment are attributable to the addition of the loan production office in Castro Valley, CA. The increase in other expense relates to the increased expenses associated with the growth of the company.

The growth in assets was primarily in the Company's loans and Federal funds sold. Loans grew $19 million or 9.5% to $219 million at September 30, 2005 from $200 million at December 31, 2004 while Federal funds sold grew $17 million over the same period. The growth in assets was funded by the $35 million or 5.5% growth in deposits consisting of $10 million or 6.4% in non-interest bearing deposits and $25 million or 14.5% growth in interest bearing deposits and the net income of the Company. Loan portfolio composition. The Company concentrates its lending activities primarily within Calaveras, San Joaquin, Stanislaus, Tuolumne and Alameda 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. 16 The following table sets forth the amounts of loans outstanding by category as of the dates indicated: September 30 December 31, ================================================================================ 2005 2004 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (In thousands) Commercial $ 38,467 $ 40,562 Agriculture 15,526 15,007 Real estate -commercial 121,775 109,895 Real estate-construction 32,624 22,965 Installment & Other 12,807 13,121 ------------ ------------ 221,199 201,550 Deferred Loan Fees and Costs 217 199 Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses (2,414) (2,214) ------------ ------------ Total Net Loans $ 219,002 $ 199,535 ================================================================================ The Company continues to manage the mix in its loan portfolio consistent with its identity as a community bank servicing Northern California and the Central Valley. Net portfolio loans have increased $19.5 million or 9.8%, to $219.0 million at September 30, 2005 from $199.5 million at December 31, 2004. Commercial loans decreased slightly by $2.1 million or 5.16% to $38.5 million from $40.6 million at December 31, 2004. Agricultural Loans increased $519 thousand or 3.5% to $15.5 million from $15.0 million at December 31, 2004. The largest increase was in real estate - commercial and construction loans. .Real estate commercial mortgage loans increased by $11.9 million or 10.8% to $121.8 million from $109.9 million at December 31, 2004. Real estate construction loans increased $9.7 million or 42.0% to $32.6 from $23.0 million at December 31, 2004. Installment and Other loans decreased $314 thousand or 2.4% from $13.1 million at December 31, 2004. The portfolio mix continues to reflect the increase in real estate loans as compared with the mix of a year ago, with commercial and agricultural loans of approximately 24.7% of total loans, real estate construction loans of 14.9%, commercial real estate loans at 55.6%, and 5.8% for installment loans at September 30, 2005. Nonperforming loans. There were no nonperforming loans at September, 2005 and December 31, 2004. Analysis of allowance for loan losses. 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. 17 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 loan losses in future periods. 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 decreased to $90,000 and $210,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to $138,000 and $366,000 for the same periods in 2004. The decrease in the amount of the provision is a direct result of the Company's analysis of the loan portfolio and the loan loss history of the Company. Management does not believe that there were any adverse trends indicated by the detail of the aggregate charge-offs for any of the periods discussed. The following table summarizes the activity in the ALL for the periods indicated.

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. 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 the qualifying portion of subordinated debentures) and "Tier 2" capital (defined as principally comprising Tier 1 capital and the remaining qualifying portion of subordinated debentures and the qualifying portion of the ALL). 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 ALL. As of September 30, 2005 the most recent notification by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized the Bank must meet the minimum ratios as set forth below. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the Bank's category. Management believes that the Company met all of its capital adequacy requirements. 19 The Company's and the Bank's risk-based capital ratios are presented below.

The minimum leverage ratio is 3 percent for banking organizations that do not anticipate significant growth and that have well-diversified risk, excellent asset quality and in general, are considered top-rated banks. For all other institutions the minimum rate is 4%. 20 LIQUIDITY The purpose of liquidity management is to ensure efficient and economical funding of the Company's assets consistent with the needs of the Company's depositors and, to a lesser extent, shareholders. 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 needs 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, interest bearing deposits and available-for-sale investment securities) totaled $54.4 million or 18.5% of total assets at September 30, 2005 compared to $35.6 million or 14.0% of total assets at December 31, 2004. The Company expects that its primary source of liquidity will be earnings of the Company, acquisition of core deposits, and wholesale borrowing arrangements. ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK Market risk is the risk of loss in a financial instrument arising from adverse changes in market rates such as interest rates, commodity prices and equity prices. As a financial institution, the Company's market risk arises primarily from interest rate risk exposure. Fluctuation in interest rates will ultimately impact both the level of income and expense recorded on a large portion of the Company's assets and liabilities, and the market value of all interest earnings assets and interest bearing liabilities, other than those that possess a short term to maturity. Based upon the nature of its operations, the Company is not subject to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange or commodity pricing. However, the Company's commercial real estate loan portfolio, concentrated primarily in Northern California, is subject to risks associated with the local economies. The fundamental objective of the Company's management of its assets and liabilities is to maximize the economic value of the Company while maintaining adequate liquidity and managing exposure to interest rate risk deemed by management to be acceptable. Management believes an acceptable degree of exposure to interest rate risk results from management of assets and liabilities through using floating rate loans and deposits, maturities, pricing and mix to attempt to neutralize the potential impact of changes in market interest rates. The Company's profitability is dependent to a large extent upon its net interest income which is the difference between its interest income on interest earning assets, such as loans and securities, and interest expense on interest bearing liabilities, such as deposits, trust preferred securities and other borrowings. The Company, like other financial institutions, is subject to interest rate risk to the degree that its interest earning assets reprice differently than its interest bearing liabilities. The Company manages its mix of assets and liabilities with the goal of limiting exposure to interest rate risk, ensuring adequate liquidity, and coordinating its sources and uses of funds. The Company seeks to control its interest rate risk exposure in a manner that will allow for adequate levels of earnings and capital over a range of possible interest rate environments. The Company has adopted formal policies and practices to monitor and manage interest rate risk exposure. As part of this effort, the Company measures interest rate risk utilizing both an internal asset liability measurement system as well as employing independent third party reviews to confirm the reasonableness of the assumptions used to measure and report the Company's interest rate risk, enabling management to make any adjustments necessary. 21 Interest rate risk is managed by the Company's Asset Liability Committee ("ALCO"), which includes members of senior management and several members of the Board of Directors. The ALCO monitors interest rate risk by analyzing the potential impact on interest income from potential changes in interest rates and considers the impact of alternative strategies or changes in balance sheet structure. The ALCO manages the Company's balance sheet in part to maintain the potential impact on net interest income within acceptable ranges despite changes in interest rates. The Company's exposure to interest rate risk is reviewed on at least a quarterly basis by the ALCO. In management's opinion there has not been a material change in the Company's market risk or interest rate risk profile for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to December 31, 2004 as discussed in the Company's 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K. 22 ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES The Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this report of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a--15(e)), have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in its periodic SEC filings is recorded, processed and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to the Company (including its consolidated and unconsolidated subsidiaries) required to be included in the Company's periodic SEC filings. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including cost limitations, judgments used in decision making, assumptions regarding the likelihood of future events, soundness of internal controls, fraud, the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance of achieving their control objectives. There were no significant changes in the Company's internal controls or in other factors during the period covered by this report that have materially affected or could significantly affect internal controls over financial reporting. 23 Part II - Other Information None ITEM 6.
