                 Pacific State Bancorp Reports Earnings For 2007

Stockton, California - February 21, 2008

Steven A. Rosso, President and C.E.O. of Pacific State Bancorp (NASDAQ Global
Market/PSBC), the parent company of Pacific State Bank, today reported 2007 and
4th quarter profits and asset growth for the Stockton, California based
financial institution:

         o        Net income for the year ended December 31, 2007 decreased 18%
                  to $4,549,000 and decreased by 66% to $513,000 for the fourth
                  quarter of 2007.
         o        Total Assets as of December 31, 2007 increased 11% to
                  $431,074,000.

Mr. Rosso noted that the decreased income performance is the result of the Bank
recording an increase of $1,065,000 in the provision for loan losses in 2007
compared to 2006. The Bank recorded an increase of $1,075,000 in the provision
for loan losses in the fourth quarter of 2007 over 2006 levels. The increase in
the provision for loan losses in the fourth quarter represented probable losses
from specific customers and not degradation of overall credit quality in the
loan portfolio. However, the Bank is actively monitoring the weakening economic
outlook, in the California Central Valley, which may indicate the need to record
additional provision in the future. At present, Management believes that the
level of allowance for loan losses currently recorded is sufficient for probable
losses.

In addition to the increased provision for loan losses, PSBC has seen an erosion
of its net interest margin. Mr. Rosso noted that market rates paid on deposits
grew more robustly than market rates received on loans and other interest
bearing assets in 2007. In addition to the increasing rate environment in
deposits, the Bank has also experienced deposit migration from lower cost
deposits such as checking accounts to higher cost deposits such as certificates
of deposit. Despite the net interest margin erosion of 97 basis points, PSBC was
able to increase net interest income by $93,000 by growing its average earning
assets by $63,105,000 or 21% in 2007.

                  716.3%. The increase in other borrowings was primarily the
                  result of the Bank utilizing relatively low cost borrowings to
                  fund asset growth.
         o        Total Shareholders Equity: $34,036,000, an increase of
                  $4,976,000 or 17.1%. In addition to the retention of earnings,
                  the increase in shareholders equity includes the proceeds of
                  stock option exercises by directors and employees.


                                       2

         o        Total Interest Income: $31,242,000 an increase of $4,747,000
                  or 17.9%.
         o        Total Interest Expense: $13,842,000, an increase of $4,654,000
                  or 50.7%.
         o        Net Interest Income: $17,400,000, an increase of $93,000 or
                  0.5%.

                  4.6%. The decrease in noninterest income was primarily the
                  result of decreased loan sales in 2007.
         o        Non-Interest Expense: $10,997,000, an increase of $637,000 or
                  6.2%. The increase in non-interest expense was due in part to
                  the cost of facilities and operations associated with the
                  growth of the Bank. 2007 was the first full year of expenses
                  associated with the opening of the Bank's eighth branch office
                  in Lodi, California in 2006. In addition, the company opened
                  its ninth branch office in Hayward California during the first
                  quarter of 2007.
         o        Net Income: $4,549,000, a decrease of $994,000 or 17.9%.

         o        Basic Earnings Per Share: $1.23, a decrease of $0.34 per share
                  or 21.7%.
         o        Diluted Earnings Per Share: $1.14, a decrease of $0.27 per
