EXHIBIT 13 Dear Shareholders, Customers and Friends: 2005 was a year of special achievement for Pacific State Bancorp and its subsidiary Pacific State Bank. Our year of milestones included the registration of the company's common stock (PSBC) as a NASDAQ(TM) National Market System security. Management's goals, accomplished by the registration, were to increase visibility of our stock, increase liquidity for shareholders, and enhance shareholder value. Prior to commencement of listing on July 25, 2005, the total number of shares traded during 2005 were 486,445 shares with an average price of $16.02 per share. After listing, 270,591 shares traded at an average price of $18.98 per share. Financially 2005 was again a banner year with record performance in earnings and asset growth. Net Income for 2005 was $4,286,000, an increase of $1,117,000 or 35.2% over 2004. Total assets closed the year at $309,611,000, up $55,250,000 or 21.7% from the close of 2004. The company's Return on Average Equity was 22.98% for 2005, the highest in the company's history. The company generated a Return on Average Assets of 1.53%, also a record high. Basic Earnings per Share increased 33.7% to $0.31 and Diluted Earnings per Share increased by 31.0% to $0.26. These strong increases experienced in 2005 continued the trend in the growth of Pacific State Bancorp since the beginning of the millennium. Over the five year period ending December 31, 2005, net income increased 324.77%, total assets increased 172.04%, book value per share increased by 121.09%, and market price per share grew 595.49%. PSBC can be bought or sold through most stock brokerage firms, and a list of the company's market makers is enclosed in this Annual Report. Pacific State Bancorp was honored for the second consecutive year as a top performing bank stock at the California Banker's Association and the Carpenter Investments Market Cap Awards. Looking to the future, we expect to open our eighth branch this summer in Lodi, California. Pacific State Bancorp has a long history of shareholder ownership within Lodi and loyal customers that management feels will form the foundation for financial success in our new branch. The new facility, located on the northwest corner of Kettleman Lane (Hwy 12) and Hutchinson Street, is currently under construction. We believe that there is opportunity for solid growth and a strong branch in a community that is well known to our company. As we look back on 2005, we are thankful for our strong customer support and loyalty, as well as the commitment of our staff and management to make us the premier independent financial institution in our five county service area. New products such as On-Line Bill Pay and Pacific State Bank Gift Cards reflect our continuing goal to enhance traditional banking services, and we will continue our customer mantra of "High Tech and High Touch Service" as we look to expand our company in 2006. Catch the Force of the Wave! /s/ HAROLD HAND /s/ STEVEN A. ROSSO Chairman of the Board of Directors President & C.E.O.

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. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. 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 December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2005, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. /s/ Perry-Smith LLP Sacramento, California March 17, 2006 3 PACIFIC STATE BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET December 31,

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 ("Bank") in a one bank holding company reorganization. This corporate structure gives Bancorp and the Bank greater flexibility in terms of operation, expansion, and diversification. Pacific State Bancorp's subsidiaries include the Bank, in addition to Pacific State Statutory Trust I and Pacific State Statutory Trust II, both of which are unconsolidated Delaware statutory business trusts formed in June 2002 and March 2004, respectively, 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 in 2004 and 2002 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, Tracy and one loan production office in Castro Valley. 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 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 the Company 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 Trusts I and II ("Trusts") are accounted for under the equity method and are included in accrued interest receivable and other assets in the consolidated balance sheet. The subordinated debentures issued and guaranteed by the Company and held by the Trusts are included as subordinated debentures in the consolidated balance sheet. Segment Information ------------------- Management has determined that because all of the banking products and services offered by the Company are available in each branch of the Bank, all branches are located within the same economic environment and management does not allocate resources based on the performance of different lending or transaction activities, it is appropriate to aggregate the Bank branches and report them as a single operating segment. No customer accounts for more than 10 percent of revenues for the Company or the Bank. Stock Splits ------------ On both September 16, 2004 and 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, 2004 and 2003, respectively, effective on the same date. All shares outstanding, stock option and per share data in the consolidated financial statements have been retroactively restated to give effect to the stock splits. 9 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Use of Estimates ---------------- The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 2005. Cash and Cash Equivalents ------------------------- For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, cash, due from banks and Federal funds sold are considered to be cash equivalents. Generally, Federal funds are sold for one-day periods. 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 (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. The Company did not have any investments classified as trading at December 31, 2005 or 2004. All transfers between categories are accounted for at fair value. Gains or losses on the sale of investment 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. Investment securities are evaluated for impairment on at least a quarterly basis and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such an evaluation to determine whether a decline in their value is other than temporary. Management utilizes criteria such as the magnitude and duration of the decline and the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the securities for a period of time sufficient to allow for an anticipated recovery in fair value, in addition to the reasons underlying the decline, to determine whether the loss in value is other than temporary. The term "other than temporary" is not intended to indicate that the decline is permanent, but indicates that the prospects for a near-term recovery of value is not necessarily favorable, or that there is a lack of evidence to support a realizable value equal to or greater than the carrying value of the investment. Once a decline in value is determined to be other than temporary, the value of the security is reduced and a corresponding charge to earnings is recognized. 10 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Investment Securities (Continued) --------------------- 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 and are redeemable at par and are included in accrued interest receivable and other assets in the consolidated balance sheet. Loans ----- Loans are stated at principal balances outstanding. 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 Company will be unable to collect all amounts due (including both principal and interest) in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Interest income on impaired loans, if appropriate, is recognized on a cash basis. 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, and 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. The Company may purchase loans or acquire loans through a business combination for which differences exist between the contractual cash flows and the cash flows expected to be collected due, at least in part, to credit quality. When the Company acquires such loans, the yield that may be accreted (accretable yield) is limited to the excess of the Company's estimate of undiscounted cash flows expected to be collected over the Company's initial investment in the loan. The excess of contractual cash flows over cash flows expected to be collected may not be recognized as an adjustment to yield, loss, or a valuation allowance. Subsequent increases in cash flows expected to be collected generally should be recognized prospectively through adjustment of the loan's yield over its remaining life. Decreases in cash flows expected to be collected should be recognized as an impairment. The Company may not "carry over" or create a valuation allowance in the initial accounting for loans acquired under these circumstances. At December 31, 2005, there were no such loans being accounted for under this policy. Loan Sales and Servicing ------------------------ The Company accounts for the transfer and servicing of financial assets based on the financial and servicing assets it controls and liabilities it has incurred, derecognizes financial assets when control has been surrendered and derecognizes liabilities when extinguished. 11 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Loan Sales and Servicing (Continued) ------------------------ Government Guaranteed Loans Included in the loan portfolio are loans which are 75% to 90% guaranteed by the Small Business Administration (SBA), Farmer Mac and USDA Business and Industry. The guaranteed portion of these loans may be sold to a third party, with the Company retaining the unguaranteed portion. The Company generally receives a premium in excess of the adjusted carrying value of the loan at the time of sale. The Company 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, 2005, there were no premiums subject to these recourse provisions. The Company's investment in the loan is allocated between the retained portion of the loan, the servicing asset (liability) 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 (liability) is recognized and amortized over the estimated life of the related loan. Significant future prepayments of these loans will result in the recognition of additional amortization of related servicing assets (liabilities). The Company serviced government-guaranteed loans for others totaling $48,030,000 and $42,158,000 as of December 31, 2005 and 2004 respectively. Servicing Rights Servicing rights acquired through 1) a purchase or 2) the origination of loans which are sold 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 were not significant at December 31, 2005 and 2004. 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 Company's service area. Classified loans and loans determined to be impaired 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 Company has not experienced losses, the loss experience of peer banks. These estimates are particularly susceptible to changes in the economic environment and market conditions. 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 and other factors. The allowance is adjusted based on that review if, in the judgment of the Loan Committee and management, changes are warranted. 12 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Allowance for Loan Losses (Continued) ------------------------- 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, 2005 and 2004, respectively, reflects management's estimate of probable 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 Company'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. At December 31, 2005 and 2004, the Company did not have any other real estate owned. Premises and Equipment ---------------------- 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 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. The Company evaluates premises and equipment for financial impairment as events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be fully recoverable. Goodwill and Intangible Assets ------------------------------ As a result of the Company's 2002 acquisition of the Stockton branch of California Bank & Trust, the Company recognized 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. The current balance of the core deposit intangible of $218,907 is included in accrued interest receivable and other assets in the consolidated balance sheet. Goodwill is not amortized, but is measured along with the core deposit intangible for impairment. At December 31, 2005 and 2004, no impairment of the core deposit intangible or 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. 13 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 reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax basis. 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. All data with respect to computing earnings per share is retroactively adjusted to reflect stock splits and dividends and the treasury stock method is applied to determine the dilutive effect of stock options in computing diluted EPS. Stock-Based Compensation ------------------------ At December 31, 2005, the Company has 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 11. 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. 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. 2005 2004 2003 ---------- ---------- ---------- (In thousands, except per share amounts) Net income, as reported $ 4,286 $ 3,169 $ 2,053 Deduct: Total stock-based employee com- compensation expense determined under the fair value based method for all awards, net of related tax effects 264 264 95 ---------- ---------- ---------- Pro forma net income $ 4,021 $ 2,905 $ 1,958 ========== ========== ========== Basic earnings per share - as reported $ 1.23 $ 0.92 $ 0.61 Basic earnings per share - pro forma $ 1.16 $ 0.85 $ 0.58 Diluted earnings per share - as reported $ 1.10 $ 0.84 $ 0.59 Diluted earnings per share - pro forma $ 1.03 $ 0.77 $ 0.57 Weighted average fair value of options granted during the year N/A N/A $ 1.88 14 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Stock-Based Compensation (Continued) ------------------------ The fair value of each option is estimated on the date of grant using an option-pricing model with the following assumptions: 2003 Expected volatility 20.34% Risk-free interest rate 3.21% Expected option life 5 years Dividend yield N/A There were no stock options granted in 2005 or Impact of New Financial Accounting Standards -------------------------------------------- Other-Than-Temporary Impairment of Certain Investments In March 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) and Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) reached consensus on several issues being addressed in EITF Issue No. 03-1, The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments. The consensus provides guidance for evaluating whether an investment is other-than-temporarily impaired and was effective for other-than-temporary impairment evaluations made in reporting periods beginning after June 15, 2004. The disclosure provisions of EITF Issue No. 03-1 continue to be effective for the Company's consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2005. On November 3, 2005, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) Nos. FAS 115-1 and FAS 124-1, The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments. These FSP's address the determination as to when an investment is considered impaired, whether that impairment is other than temporary, and the measurement of an impairment loss. These FSP's also includes accounting considerations subsequent to the recognition of an other-than-temporary impairment and requires certain disclosures about unrealized losses that have not been recognized as other-than-temporary impairments. These FSP's nullify certain requirements of EITF Issue No. 03-1, and supersedes EITF Topic No. D-44, Recognition of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment upon the Planned Sale of a Security Whose Cost Exceeds Fair Value. The guidance in these FSP's amends FASB Statement No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities. These FSP's are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2005. The Company does not anticipate any material impact to its financial condition or results of operations as a result of the adoption of this guidance. 15 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Impact of New Financial Accounting Standards (Continued) -------------------------------------------- Share-Based Payments In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement No. 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. The Company may elect to adopt FAS 123 (R) using a modified prospective method or modified retrospective method. Under the modified retrospective method, the Company would restate previously issued financial statements, basing the compensation expense on that previously reported in their pro forma disclosures required by FAS 123. The modified prospective method would require the Company to record compensation expense for the unvested portion of previously granted awards that remain outstanding at the date of adoption as these awards continue to vest. FAS 123 (R) is effective for the first fiscal year beginning after June 15, 2005. Management has elected to use the modified prospective method and has completed its evaluation of the effect FAS 123 (R) will have and believes that the effect of implementation will be consistent with the pro forma disclosures noted above. Accounting Changes and Error Corrections On June 7, 2005, the FASB issued Statement No. 154 (FAS 154), Accounting Changes and Error Corrections - a replacement of Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 20, Accounting Changes, and SFAS No. 3, Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements. Under the provisions of FAS 154, voluntary changes in accounting principles are applied retrospectively to prior periods' financial statements unless it would be impractical to do so. FAS 154 supersedes APB Opinion No. 20, which required that most voluntary changes in accounting principles be recognized by including in the current period's net income the cumulative effect of the change. FAS 154 also makes a distinction between "retrospective application" of a change in accounting principle and the "restatement" of financial statements to reflect the correction of an error. The provisions of FAS 154 are effective for accounting changes made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. Management of the Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations. 16 3. INVESTMENT SECURITIES The amortized cost and estimated fair value of investment securities at December 31, 2005 and 2004 consisted of the following: Available-for-Sale ------------------ 2005 --------------------------------------------------------- Gross Gross Estimated Amortized Unrealized Unrealized Fair Cost Gains Losses Value ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ (In thousands) Debt securities: U.S. Treasury securities $ 14,897 $ (45) $ 14,852 Obligations of states and political sub-divisions 2,783 $ 86 (4) 2,865 Mortgage-backed securities 7,568 1 (195) 7,374 Corporate bonds 3,325 2 (2) 3,325 ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ $ 28,573 $ 89 $ (246) 28,416 ============ ============ ============ ============ Net unrealized losses on available-for-sale investment securities totaling $157,000 were recorded, net of $62,000 in tax benefit, as accumulated other comprehensive loss within shareholders' equity at December 31, 2005.

Management periodically evaluates each investment security for other than temporary impairment, relying primarily on industry analyst reports and 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 considered temporary and due only to interest rate fluctuations. 18 3. INVESTMENT SECURITIES (Continued) The amortized cost and estimated fair value of investment securities at December 31, 2005 by contractual maturity are shown below. Expected maturities will differ from contractual maturities because the issuers of the securities may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

The average recorded investment in impaired loans for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003 was $0, $0 and $67,000, respectively. The Company did not recognize any interest income on impaired loans during 2005, 2004 and 2003. There were no nonaccrual loans and no interest foregone on nonaccrual loans at December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003. Salaries and employee benefits totaling $263,000, $208,000 and $223,000 have been deferred as loan origination costs for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. 5.

Additionally, the Company has a borrowing arrangement with the Federal Reserve Bank secured by investment securities with amortized costs totaling $8,548,000 and $3,835,000 and estimated fair values totaling $8,510,000 and $3,832,000 at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. At December 31, 2005 and 2004, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under this arrangement. 21 7. OTHER BORROWINGS (Continued) The Company has a borrowing arrangement with the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco (FHLB) which allow the Company to borrow on either a short-term or long-term basis up to approximately $11,809,000 as of December 31, 2005 based on specific percentages of the collateral pledged. For the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, various residential mortgage loans totaling approximately $8,488,000 and $8,388,000 and investment securities totaling approximately $6,659,000 and $11,768,000, respectively, secured this borrowing arrangement. The following table represents the Company's total other borrowings for the periods indicated: December 31, ------------------------- 2005 2004 ---------- ---------- (In thousands) FHLB, interest at 4.43%, matured February 13, 2006 $ 4,000 $ 4,000 ========== ========== 8. SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES The following is a summary of the subordinated debentures payable to the Company's subsidiary grantor trusts at December 31, 2005 and 2004 (dollars in thousands): December 31, ------------------------- 2005 2004 ---------- ---------- Subordinated debentures due to Pacific State Statutory Trust I with interest payable semi-annually based on 6-month LIBOR plus 3.45% to a maximum of 11.95% prior to June 26, 2007 (6.72% at December 31, 2005), and redeemable under certain conditions with a premium prior to June 26, 2007 and with no premium beginning June 26, 2007 and due June 26, 2031 $ 5,155 $ 5,155 Subordinated debentures due to Pacific State Statutory Trust II with interest payable quarterly based on 3-month LIBOR plus 2.79% (6.48% at December 31, 2005), and redeemable with no premium beginning March 17, 2009 and due March 17, 2034 3,609 3,609 ---------- ---------- $ 8,764 $ 8,764 ========== ========== Under applicable regulatory guidance, the amount of trust preferred securities that is eligible as Tier 1 capital is limited to twenty-five percent of the Company's Tier 1 capital on a pro forma basis. At December 31, 2005, $7,124,000 of the trust preferred securities qualified as Tier 1 capital and $1,376,000 qualified as Tier 2 capital. 22 8. SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES (Continued) The Company has guaranteed, on a subordinated basis, distributions and other payments due on the trust preferred securities issued by the subsidiary grantor trusts. Interest expense recognized by the Company for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003 related to the subordinated debentures was $527,000, $366,000 and $239,000, respectively. The amount of deferred costs was $151,000 at December 31, 2005. 9. INCOME TAXES The provision for income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003 consisted of the following: Federal State Total ---------- ---------- ---------- (In thousands) 2005 ---- Current $ 2,040 $ 687 $ 2,727 Deferred (108) (23) (131) ---------- ---------- ---------- Provision for income taxes $ 1,932 $ 664 $ 2,596 ========== ========== ========== 2004 ---- Current $ 1,534 $ 570 $ 2,104 Deferred (157) (73) (230) ---------- ---------- ---------- Provision for income taxes $ 1,377 $ 497 $ 1,874 ========== ========== ========== 2003 ---- Current $ 1,159 $ 350 $ 1,509 Deferred (211) (51) (262) ---------- ---------- ---------- Provision for income taxes $ 948 $ 299 $ 1,247 ========== ========== ========== Deferred tax assets (liabilities) consisted of the following: December 31, ------------------------- 2005 2004 ---------- ---------- (In thousands) Deferred tax assets: Allowance for loan losses $ 841 $ 872 Future benefit of state tax deduction 234 215 Organization costs 19 21 Deposit purchase premium 46 36 Mark-to-market adjustment 10 11 Deferred compensation 237 150 Litigation reserve 82 Unrealized losses on available-for-sale investment securities 62 ---------- ---------- Total deferred tax assets 1,531 1,305 ========== ========== 23 9. INCOME TAXES (Continued) December 31, ------------------------- 2005 2004 ---------- ---------- (In thousands) Deferred tax liabilities: Future federal liability of state deferred tax asset $ (88) Bank premises and equipment $ (86) (29) Goodwill (33) (7) Unrealized gain on available-for-sale investment securities (30) Prepaid expense (44) Other accruals (7) ---------- ---------- Total deferred tax liabilities (163) (161) ---------- ---------- Net deferred tax assets $ 1,368 $ 1,144 ========== ========== The Company believes that it is more likely than not that it will realize the above deferred tax assets in future periods; therefore, no valuation allowance has been provided against its deferred tax assets. The provision for income taxes differs from amounts computed by applying the statutory Federal income tax rates to operating income before income taxes. The significant items comprising these differences for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003 consisted of the following: 2005 2004 2003 ---------- ---------- ---------- Federal income tax, at statutory rate 34.0% 34.0% 34.0% State franchise tax, net of Federal tax effect 6.3% 7.2% 6.0% Tax exempt investment security income, net (0.8)% (1.1)% (1.9)% Company owned life insurance, net (0.9)% (1.5)% Other (0.8)% 1.0% (0.3)% ---------- ---------- ---------- Effective tax rate 37.8% 39.6% 37.8% ========== ========== ========== 10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Leases ------ The Company 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. 24 10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (Continued) Leases (Continued) ------ Future minimum lease payments are as follows (in thousands): Year Ending December 31, ------------ 2006 $ 364 2007 463 2008 474 2009 486 2010 283 2011 and thereafter 1,758 ------------ $ 3,828 ============ Rental expense included in occupancy, furniture and equipment expense totaled $276,000, $236,000 and $267,000 for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. 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 $2,619,000 and $1,364,000 as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Correspondent Banking Agreements -------------------------------- The Company maintains funds on deposit with other federally insured financial institutions under correspondent banking agreements. Uninsured deposits totaled $12,483,000 at December 31, 2005. Financial Instruments With Off-Balance-Sheet Risk ------------------------------------------------- The Company 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 standby 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 Company's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and standby 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, ------------------------- 2005 2004 ---------- ---------- (In thousands) Commitments to extend credit $ 112,066 $ 41,868 Standby letters of credit $ 2,318 $ 498 25 10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (Continued) Financial Instruments With Off-Balance-Sheet Risk (Continued) ------------------------------------------------- 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 Company evaluates each customer's creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Company 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. Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company 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. The fair value of the liability related to these standby letters of credit, which represents the fees received for issuing the guarantees, was not significant at December 31, 2005 and 2004. The Company recognizes these fees as revenue over the term of the commitment or when the commitment is used. At December 31, 2005, commercial loan commitments represent approximately 36% of total commitments and are generally secured by various assets of the borrower. Real estate loan commitments represent approximately 60% 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 4% of total commitments and are generally unsecured. In addition, the majority of the Company's commitments have variable interest rates. Concentrations of Credit Risk ----------------------------- The Company's customers are primarily located in San Joaquin, Stanislaus, Calaveras and Tuolumne Counties. At December 31, 2005, approximately 18% of the Company's loans are for general commercial uses, including professional, retail and small business, and 7% are for agricultural uses. Additionally, 18% of the Company's loans are for the construction of residential and commercial real estate and 52% 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 6% of the Company'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 consolidated results of operations of the Company. 26 11. SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY 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. In addition, the Company's ability to pay dividends is subject to certain covenants contained in the indentures related to the trust preferred securities issued by the Trusts. 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, 2005, Bank retained earnings of $9,508,000 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, ---------------------------------------- 2005 2004 2003 ---------- ---------- ---------- (In thousands, except share and per share amounts) Basic Earnings Per Share ------------------------ Numerator: Net income $ 4,286 $ 3,169 $ 2,053 Denominator: Weighted average shares outstanding 3,473,511 3,432,023 3,362,076 ---------- ---------- ---------- Basic earnings per share $ 1.23 $ 0.92 $ 0.61 ========== ========== ========== 27 11.

Stock Options ------------- At December 31, 2005, the Company has two stock-based employee compensation plans, the Pacific State Bancorp 1987 Stock Option Plan and the Pacific State Bancorp 1997 Stock Option Plan. At December 31, 2005, 1,904 shares of common stock remain 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. 28 11.

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 met all their capital adequacy requirements as of December 31, 2005 and 2004. 30 11. 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, 2005 that management believes have changed the Bank's category.

LOANS TO RELATED PARTIES During the normal course of business, the Company enters into loans with related parties, including executive officers and directors. These loans are made with substantially the same terms, including rates and collateral, as loans to unrelated parties. The following is a summary of the aggregate activity involving related party borrowers (in thousands): Balance, January 1, 2005 $ 2,982 Disbursements 652 Amounts repaid (1,745) ---------- Balance, December 31, 2005 $ 1,889 ========== Undisbursed commitments to related parties, December 31, 2005 $ 2,541 ========== 14. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS The 401(k) Savings Plan established by the Bank in 1990 was converted into a Company plan in 1992. Under the provisions of the plan, the Company 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 Company'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 $30,000, $45,000 and $41,000 for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Salary Continuation and Retirement Plans ---------------------------------------- The Board of Directors approved salary continuation and retirement plans for six key executives in 2003. 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 Company 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 based on a 7% discount rate. The expense recognized under these plans for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 totaled $242,000 and $334,000, respectively. Accrued compensation payable under the plans totaled $576,000 and $334,000 at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. In connection with these plans, the Company purchased single premium life insurance policies with cash surrender values totaling $4,411,000 at December 31, 2005. Income earned on these policies, net of expenses, totaled $(61,380), $188,000 and $58,000 for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Income earned on these policies is not subject to Federal or state income tax under certain circumstances. 32 15. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME 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. The Company's only source of other comprehensive income (loss) is unrealized gains and losses on the Company's available-for-sale investment securities. Total comprehensive income and the components of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) are presented in the consolidated statement of changes in shareholders' equity. At December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, the Company held securities classified as available-for-sale which had net unrealized gains or losses as follows: 2005 2004 2003 ---------- ---------- ---------- (In thousands) Other comprehensive (loss) income: Unrealized holding (losses) gains $ (233) $ (26) $ 102 Tax benefit (expense) on unrealized holding gains 93 6 (36) ---------- ---------- ---------- Net unrealized holding (losses) gains (140) (20) 66 ---------- ---------- ---------- Less: reclassification adjustment for gains included in net income -- -- 2 Tax benefit on reclassification adjustment -- -- (1) ---------- ---------- ---------- Net reclassification adjustment -- -- 1 ---------- ---------- ---------- Total other comprehensive (loss) income $ (140) $ (20) $ 65 ========== ========== ========== 16. DISCLOSURES ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Disclosures include estimated fair values 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, 2005 and 2004: 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. 33 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 adjusted for the allowance for loan losses. The carrying amount of accrued interest receivable approximates its fair value. Company owned life insurance: The fair values of life insurance policies are based on current cash surrender values at each reporting date provided by the insurers. Other investments: Other investments include Federal Reserve Bank Stock, Federal Home Loan Bank Stock and Farmer Mac Home Administrative Stock. The carrying value of other investments approximate fair value. These investments are carried at cost and are redeemable at par with certain restrictions. Deposits: 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 Company for certificates with similar remaining maturities. The carrying amount of accrued interest payable approximates its fair value. Other borrowings: The carrying amount of short-term borrowings and interest payable approximates their fair value. 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 like-kind instruments of similar rates and terms. Commitments to extend credit: Off-balance-sheet 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 standby 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 variants 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. 38 GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS Pacific State Bancorp is a holding company with one bank subsidiary, Pacific State Bank, (the "Bank"), and two unconsolidated subsidiary grantor trusts, Pacific State Statutory Trusts I and II. Pacific State Bancorp commenced operations on June 24, 2002 when it acquired all the 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 formed November 2, 1987. The Bank is a member of the Federal Reserve System. The Bank's primary source of revenue is providing loans to customers who are small to middle-market businesses and middle-income individuals. Pacific State Statutory 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 conducts 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 March 15, 2006 had 82 employees, including 36 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.

March Lane, in Stockton, California; additional branches are located in downtown 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. The bank plans to open it's 8th branch in Lodi, California, mid-year 2006. Effective July 12, 2005, Pacific State Bancorp common stock began trading on the Nasdaq(TM) National Market under the symbol of "PSBC". Previously the Company' common stock was traded on the OTC Bulletin Board under the same symbol. Business Plan ------------- The focus of the Company's business plan is to attract "Business Relationship" small, medium and large 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 full 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, manufacturing, agricultural and service activities. Trust Subsidiaries ------------------ The Company during 2002 and 2004 established two subsidiary grantor trusts, Pacific State Statutory Trusts I and II (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 39 Capital Securities were loaned to the Company as 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 Vehicle are guaranteed by the Company. See Note 8 to the Company's consolidated financial statements included with this report. 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.

The financial information contained within our consolidated financial 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. The Company has applied Accounting Principles Board ("APB") opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" and related interpretations to account for its stock option plan awards. Commencing January 1, 2006, the Company was required to adopt Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 123(R), "Share Based Payment"; see information under the header "Share Based Payments" in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements included with this report. Other estimates that we use are related to the expected useful lives of our depreciable assets and in determining whether any impairment exists related to our investments and intangible and other long-lived 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. If different estimates that the company reasonably could have used for the accounting estimate in the current period were made, or if changes in the accounting estimate that are reasonably likely to occur from period to period occurred, they 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. Stock Based Compensation The company applies APB No. 25, to account for its stock option awards plans. As a result, compensation cost for stock options is measured as the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the Company's stock at the date of 41 the grant over the amount required to be paid to the Company by the optionee upon exercising the option. Because the Company's stock option plan provides for the issuance of options at a price of no less than the fair market value at the date of the grant, no compensation cost is required to be recognized under APB No. 25 for the stock options granted under the company's plan. Results of Operation Year Ended December 31, 2005 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2004 Net income for the year ended December 31, 2005, was $4,286,000 representing an increase of $1,117,000 or 35.24% over net income of $3,169,000 for the year ended December 31, 2004. The primary contributing factor to the increase in net income was an increase in net interest income of $3,085,000 as a result of an increase in both the volume of average earning assets, offset by the increase in average interest bearing liabilities, and an increase in the net interest margin. This was offset by an increase in non interest expense of $1,681,000 and a slight decrease in non interest income of $44,000. The increase in non interest expenses was primarily due to an increase in salaries and employee benefits of $928,000 and in other expenses of $515,000. Return on average assets (ROA) improved to 1.53% and return on average common equity (ROE) improved to 22.98% in 2005 compared with 1.37% and 21.65%, respectively, in 2004. Diluted earnings per share for 2005 and 2004 were $1.10 and $0.84, respectively, an increase of 30.95%. The increase in earnings per share is primarily due to the increase in net income of 35.24%. The Company's average total assets increased to $280.3 million in 2005 or 21.45% over $230.8 million in 2004. In 2005 average earning assets increased to $250.1 million or 22.90% over $203.5 million in 2004. Average interest bearing liabilities increased to $201.6 million or 20.79% over $166.9 million in 2004. The Company's total assets increased to $309.6 million as of December 31, 2005 or 21.70% over $254.4 million at December 31, 2004. Total loans increased to $243.9 million from $201.7 million in 2004, an increase of $42.2 million or 20.92%. Total Deposits grew to $273.0 million, or 21.98%, compared to $223.8 million in 2004. The increases on the balance sheet are attributable to the growth of the bank. Year Ended December 31, 2004 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2003 Net income for the year ended December 31, 2004, was $3,169,000 representing an increase of $1,116,000 or 54.36%, over net income of $2,053,000 for the year ended December 31, 2003. A contributing factor to the increase in net income was an increase in net interest income of $2,095,000 and a slight increase in non interest income of $547,000. The increase in non interest income was due to an increase in service charges of $381,000 and an increase in other fee income of $387,000. These increases were off set by a decrease of $219,000 in loan sales during 2004. 42 Return on average assets (ROA) was 1.37% and return on average common equity (ROE) was 21.65% in 2004 compared with 1.07% and 16.86%, respectively, in 2003. Diluted earnings per share for 2004 and 2003 were $0.84 and $0.59, respectively, an increase of 42.37%. The increase in earnings per share is primarily due to the increase in net income of 54.36%. The Company's average total assets increased to $230.8 million in 2004 or 20.50% over $191.5 million in 2003. In 2004 average earning assets increased to $203.5 million or 18.26% over $172.0 million in 2003. Average interest bearing liabilities increased to $166.9 million or 17.15% over $142.5 million in 2003. 43 The Company's total assets increased to $254.4 million or 26.63% over $200.9 million in 2003. Total loans increased to $201.7 million over $157.1 million in 2003, an increase of $44.6 million or 28.39%. Total Deposits in 2004 grew to $223.8 million, or 26.93%, compared to $176.3 million at December 31, 2003. The increases on the balance sheet are attributable to the growth of the bank. 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 $3.1 million or 29.81% to $13.5 million in 2005 from $10.4 million in 2004 and $2.1 million or 25.1% in 2004 from $8.3 million in 2003. The average balance of total earning assets for 2005, increased $46.6 million or 22.90% to $250.1 million from $203.5 million. Average loan balances outstanding during 2005 increased $35.3 million or 19.58%, while average balances of investments, federal funds sold and interest bearing deposits in banks increased by $11.3 million or 49.12%. The average yields on loans in 2005 increased by 103 basis points. The average yield on investments, federal funds sold and interest bearing deposits increased 67 basis points in 2005 compared to 2004. The increase in yields is directly attributable to increases in the prime rate during 2005. During 2005, the prime rate increased eleven times from 5.25% to 7.25%. As a result, the overall yield on average earning assets during 2005 increased 87 basis points to 7.51% from 6.64% for 2004. Total interest expense increased $2.2 million or 70.97% to $5.3 million in 2005, from $3.1 million for 2004 and $0.3 million or 10.71% over $2.8 million for 2003. In 2005 the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities increased $34.7 million or 20.79% to $201.6 million from $166.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2004. Additionally, the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities increased 77 basis points to 2.60% from 1.83% in 2004. In 2004 interest expense increased primarily due to the increase in average balances of interest-bearing liabilities of $24.4 million or 17.2% to $166.9 million from $142.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2004. This increase was mitigated by a slight decrease in the rates paid on interest bearing liabilities. Average interest-bearing demand deposits increased $43.1 million or 69.74% to $104.9 million in 2005 from $61.8 million in 2004. The average rate paid on these deposits during 2005 increased 64 basis points. Average certificates of deposit decreased $7.9 million or 9.24% to $77.6 million in 2005 from $85.5 million in 2004. The average rate paid on certificates of deposit during 2005 increased 95 basis points. As a result of the overall changes in the mix of interest-bearing deposits, the average rate paid on all interest bearing deposits and borrowings increased 77 basis points to 2.60% from 1.83% for 2004. The Company's net interest margin (net interest income divided by average earning assets) was 5.41% in 2005, up from 5.14% in 2004 and 4.85% in 2003. The increases in both the volume of and yields on earning assets, coupled with stable funding sources and change in mix of and rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities resulted in an increase of $3.1 million or 29.81% in net interest income for the year ended December 31, 2005 compared to 2004. For the year ended December 31, 2004 compared to 2003, the combined effect of the increase in volume of and yield on earning assets, coupled with stable funding sources and a slight decline in rates paid resulted in an increase of $2.1 million (25.1%) in net interest income over 2003. 44 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. Average balances are based on daily averages.

(2) The rate change in net interest income represents the change in rate divided by the previous year's average balance. (3) The mix change in net interest income represents the change in average balance multiplied by the change in rate. 46 Non-interest Income ------------------- The Company's non-interest income consists primarily of service charges on deposit accounts, gain on sale of loans and ATM and other service fees. For the year ended December 31, 2005, non-interest income represented 11.67% of the Company's revenues versus 15.75% in 2004, and 15.10% in 2003. Total non-interest income decreased slightly to $2.48 million in 2005 from $2.53 million in 2004 and $2.0 million in 2003, representing a decrease of 2.0% and an increase of 27.7% respectively. Service charge income decreased $317 thousand in 2005 or 29.5% to $758 thousand, down from $1.07 million for the comparable period in 2004. The decrease in service charge income is the result of (1) the higher earnings rate used to offset fees paid on accounts charged through account analysis and (2) a decrease in the volume of account overdrafts. The decrease in service charges was offset by an increase in gain on sales of loans of $364 thousand or 81.8%. The increase in the gain on sale of loans 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. The increase in 2004 over 2003 is a result of the 54.9% increase in service charge income from the implementation of new overdraft protection product and an increase of 62.6% in other income. Other income includes a 220% increase in Bank Owned Life Insurance income as well as fees collected from brokering mortgage loans. This was offset by a decrease in gain on sale of loans of 32.9%. The following table sets forth a summary of non-interest income for the periods indicated.

Non-interest expense for 2005 was $9.10 million compared to $7.43 million for 2004 and $6.50 million in 2003, representing an increase of $1.67 million or 22.48% for 2005, and $.93 million or 14.31% for 2004. Increases in salaries and benefits are indicative of the continuing additions to staff to expand branch operations in line with their respective growth for both years. The increase in occupancy and equipment expense is attributable to the general 47 upgrade of technology systems in both 2004 and 2005. Data Processing expense increased $141,000 due to a full year of expense related to the 2004 outsourcing on the Company's item processing system. The outsourcing of the system allowed the Bank to offer additional service to its deposit customers without purchasing additional equipment. Other expense increased during 2005 and 2004 due to increased insurance expense associated with the growth of the company. The following table sets forth a summary of non-interest expense for the periods indicated.

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 primarily 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.

Generally, all securities are purchased with the intent and ability to hold them 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 fair 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, 2005, consisted of mortgage-backed securities totaling $123,000 with a remaining contractual maturity of 11 to 18 years and a weighted-average yield to maturity of 6.55%.

Loans and Asset Quality ----------------------- The Company concentrates its lending activities primarily within Alameda, 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: ============================================================================================================== (Dollars in thousands) As of December 31, -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2005 2004 2003 2002 2001 ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Commercial and Agricultural $ 60,645 $ 55,569 $ 57,638 $ 40,226 $ 34,079 Real estate-construction 43,352 22,965 28,219 33,887 23,561 Real estate-commercial mortgage 126,166 109,895 60,174 53,160 36,831 Installment 13,536 13,121 10,823 7,734 3,493 Deferred Loan Fees and Costs 213 199 284 265 317 Allowance for Loan Losses (2,356) (2,214) (1,653) (1,306) (1,172) ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Total Net Loans $ 241,556 $ 199,535 $ 155,485 $ 133,966 $ 97,109 ========== ========== ========== ========== ========== ============================================================================================================== 50 Net loans have increased $42.0 million or 21.1%, to $241.5 million at December 31, 2005 from $199.5 million at December 31, 2004. Comparing 2005 to 2004 commercial and agricultural loans have increased $5.1 million or 8.9%, real estate construction projects have increased $20.4 million or 80.9%, real estate commercial loans have increased by $16.3 million or 14.8% and installment loans have increased by $415 thousand or 3.2% over 2004. The portfolio mix has changed in 2005 as compared with the mix of the previous year with commercial and agricultural loans decreasing to 25.1% of total loans compared to 27.8% in 2004, of total loans, real estate construction loans increasing to 17.9% compared to 11.5% in 2004, real estate - commercial mortgage loans decreasing to 52.2%, compared to 55.1% and installment loans decreasing to 5.6% compared to 6.6% in 2004. The shift in the mix reflects the changes in lending needs within the Company's service area. The overall change in the mix of the loan portfolio did not significantly impact the overall risk profile in the our loan portfolio. The following table sets forth the maturity distribution of the Company's commercial and agricultural loans and construction loans outstanding as of December 31, 2005, which, based on remaining scheduled repayments of principal, were due within the periods indicated.

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: (Dollars in Thousands) As of December 31, ================================================================================================= 2005 2004 2003 2002 2001 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nonaccrual loans $ -- $ -- $ -- $ 199 $ 585 90 days past due and still accruing interest -- -- -- -- -- Other Real Estate Owned -- -- -- 49 182 ================================================================================================= 51 The Company did not have any nonaccrual loans at December 31, 2005 or 2004. At December 31, 2005, the Company has not identified any potential problem loans that would result in those loans being included as nonperforming loans at a future date. Allowance for Loan Losses (ALL) In determining the amount of the Company's Allowance for Loan Losses ("ALL"), management assesses probable loss characteristics of the loan portfolio including the concentrations, nature and 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. Management reviews the credit risk report with the Director Loan Committee on a weekly basis as well as with the full Board monthly. 52 The adequacy of the ALL is calculated upon three components. First is the credit risk rating of the loan portfolio, including all outstanding loans. 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 affect 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 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 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. 53 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 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 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. The following table summarizes the Company's loan loss experience as well as provisions and charges to the allowance for loan losses and certain ratios for the periods indicated.

The decrease in the amount of the provision in 2005 compared to 2004 is a direct result of the analysis of the loan portfolio and the loan loss history of the Company. Additionally, the Company received a large recovery in 2005 on one loan of $120,000 in the fourth quarter of 2005. As a result of management's assessment of the overall required level of allowance and the impact of this recovery on the allowance, the Company reduced the provision in the fourth quarter by $175,000 resulting in the total provision for the year of $35,000. Net charge-offs (recoveries) were $(107,000) or .05% of average loans for 2005 compared to $(57,000) or .03% of average loans for 2004 and $190,000 or .12% of average loans for 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.

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 in banks and available-for-sale investment securities) totaled $37.5 million or 15.4% of total assets at December 31, 2005, $35.6 million or 14.0% of total assets at December 31, 2004 and $28.1 million or 14.0% of total assets at December 31, 2003. The Company expects that its primary source of liquidity will be earnings of the Company, acquisition of core deposits, and wholesale borrowing arrangements. Market Risk ----------- Market risk is the risk of loss in a financial instrument arising from adverse changes in market rates and processes 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 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 56 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 from 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 exposure. As part of this effort, the Company measures interest rate risk utilizing both an internal asset liability measurement system as well as 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. 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. Net Interest Income Simulation ------------------------------ In order to measure interest rate risk at December 31, 2005, the Company used a simulation model to project changes in net interest income that result from forecasted changes in interest rates. This analysis, which is performed quarterly by management, calculates the difference between net interest income forecasted using a rising and falling interest rate scenario and net interest income forecasted using a base market derived from the current interest rates. The income simulation model includes various assumptions regarding the re-pricing relationships for each of the Company's products. Many of the Company's assets are floating rate loans, which are assumed to reprice immediately and to the same extent as the change in market rates according to their contracted index. The Company's non-term deposit products reprice more slowly, usually changing less than the change in market rates and at the discretion of the Company. The analysis indicates the impact of changes in net interest income for the given set of rate changes and assumptions. It assumes that the balance sheet grows modestly, but that its structure will remain similar to the structure at year-end. It does not account for all factors that impact this analysis, including the potential impact of loan prepayments, deposit drifts or other balance sheet movements including changes by management to mitigate the impact of interest rate changes or secondary impacts such as changes to the Company's credit risk profile as interest rates change. Changes that vary significantly from the assumptions may have significant effects on the Company's net interest income. 57 The following table reflects the company's projected net interest income sensitivity analysis based on year-end data: December 31, 2005 ------------------------------------------------------- Change in Adjusted Net Interest Rates Income Percent change from (in thousands) base ------------------------------------------------------- Up 200 basis points $ 15,651 9.05% Up 150 basis points 15,328 6.80% Up 100 basis points 15,003 4.54% Base Scenario 14,352 0.00% Down 100 basis points (13,714) -4.45% Down 150 basis points (13,396) -6.66% Down 200 basis points (13,077) -8.88% Contractual Obligations The following table summarizes the contractual obligations of the Company as of December 31, 2005: Less than More than (in thousands) Total one year 1-3 years 3-5 years 5 years ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Subordinated Debentures, floating rate of 6.72% payable June 26, 2031 $ 5,155 $ 5,155 Subordinated Debentures, floating rate of 6.48% payable March 17, 2034 3,609 3,609 FHLB Loan fixed rate of 4.43%, payable on February 13, 2006 4,000 $ 4,000 Operating lease obligations 3,828 364 937 1,061 $ 1,466 Salary continuation plan (1) 576 $ 576 ---------- ---------- Total $ 17,168 $ 4,364 $ 937 $ 1,061 $ 10,806 ========== ========== ========== ========== ========== (1) Salary continuation plan obligations represents amount accrued as of December 31, 2005 under the terms of the plan. In addition to those obligations listed above, in the normal course of business, the Company will make cash distributions for, among other items, the payment of interest on interest bearing deposit accounts and debt obligations, payments for quarterly tax estimates and contributions to certain employee benefit plans. 58 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. 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 qualifying subordinated debentures ) and "Tier 2" capital (defined as principally comprising the qualifying portion of subordinated debt and the qualifying portion of the ALL), the total amount not to exceed 100% of Tier 1 capital. The minimum ratio of total risk-based capital to risk-adjusted assets, including certain off-balance sheet items, is 8%. At December 31, 2005 and 2004 the company's capital met all minimum regulatory requirements. As of December 31, 2005, the most recent notification by the Federal Depository 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 institution's category. The Company's and the Bank's risk-based capital ratios are presented below.

Dividends - --------- 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, 2005, the Bank had $9,508,000 in retained earnings available for dividends to shareholders. In addition, the Company's ability to pay dividends is subject to certain covenants contained in the indentures related to the trust preferred securities issued by the Trusts. 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. 61 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Board Of Directors Company and Bank Officers - ------------------ ------------------------- Steven A.
