Explanation: - ------------ Since Temecula Valley Bank, N.A. (the "Bank") (Temecula Valley Bancorp Inc.'s wholly-owned subsidiary) opened in December 1996, it has consistently, from year to year, had substantial growth. The Bank, collectively with Temecula Valley Bancorp Inc. (the "Company"), has 199 employees (194 full time equivalent), of which 181 are full time. Total assets increased from $190,024,416 at December 31, 2001 to $310,289,097 at December 31, 2002, a 63% increase. Total loans, excluding deferred loan fees, increased from $150,963,562 at December 31, 2001 to $272,765,590 at December 31, 2002, an 81% increase. The Bank had $198,861 of non-performing loans as of December 31, 2001, of which $92,895 was guaranteed by the SBA, compared to $1,908,169 of non-performing loans as of December 31, 2002, of which $1,077,597 was government guaranteed. Investments, which exclude Federal Reserve Bank and Federal Home Loan Bank stock, decreased from $16,400,000 at December 31, 2001 to $0 at December 31, 2002. The change from year to year is largely attributable to loans and servicing assets increasing more than deposits and borrowings. At year-end 2001, all of the investments were in overnight Federal Funds Sold. Deposits increased from $172,928,225 at December 31, 2001 to $269,321,220 at December 31, 2002. On June 26, 2002 the Company borrowed $7,000,000 by means of a pooled Trust Preferred Note. The note carries a floating rate of the three-month LIBOR plus 3.45%, or currently 4.85%. The up front cost of the borrowing was $211,000 and is being amortized to interest expense over five years, which is the end of prepayment penalty period. The note has a thirty-year maturity. The net amount of $6,789,000 was transferred to the Bank as capital. At the Company, the Trust Preferred borrowing can be treated as tier one capital up to 25% of tier one capital, with the remainder treated as tier two capital. A liquidity ratio is the sum of cash and due from banks, net of reserve requirements, federal funds sold, interest-bearing deposits with other financial institutions and investments securities, less amounts pledged to secure deposits and for other purposes, divided by the sum of total deposits, less deposits secured by marketable securities and short-term borrowings. Using this definition, the Bank's liquidity ratio was 13.8% at December 31, 2001 and 4.2% at December 31, 2002. The following table provides a comparison of our leverage and risk-weighted capital ratios for the Company as of the dates indicated and the regulatory standards: To Be Well Capitalized Under Actual Ratio Minimum Required for Capital Prompt Corrective December 31 Adequacy Purposes Action Provisions ----------- ----------------- ----------------- 2002 2001 2000 ---- ---- ---- Leverage 4.0% (1) 5.0% 8.0% 7.9% 7.5% Tier 1 risk-based capital 4.0% 6.0% 8.7% 9.4% 8.9% Risk-based capital ratio 8.0% 10.0% 10.6% 10.2% 9.9% - ------------------------- (1)The Comptroller may require the Bank to maintain a leverage ratio of up to 100 basis points above the standard minimum. For 2002, net income was $4,191,054, or $1.14 per basic share and $1.00 per diluted share. For 2001, net income was $1,803,581, or $.56 per basic share and $.51 per diluted share. The Bank has been profitable every full quarter since it opened, except for the first quarter of 1997. The Company sold $5,933,122 of the unguaranteed portion of SBA 7A loans in 2001, which added $553,457 to the net income. The Company sold $12,573,048 of the unguaranteed portion of SBA 7A loans in 2002, which added $1,232,355 to the net income. The return on average assets was 1.15% in 2001, compared to 1.69% for 2002. The return on average equity was 14.82% for 2001 compared to 24.34% for 2002. Net interest income was $9,287,803 in 2001, compared to $13,431,236 in 2002. This relates to a net interest margin of 6.74% in 2001, compared to 6.25% in 2002. The net interest margin decreased in 2001 and 2002 due to the Federal Reserve Bank rate reductions of 4.75% in 2001 and 0.50% in late 2002, even though the loan to deposit ratio increased from 86.90% at December 31, 2001 to 100.78% at December 31, 2002. Loans produced a yield of 9.54% in 2001 and 7.99% in 2002. Investments, which includes Federal Funds sold, FRB stock and FHLB stock, yielded 3.75% in 2001 and 1.87% in 2002. Total interest earning assets yielded 8.73% in 2001 and 7.71% in 2002. The cost of interest bearing deposits was 2.93% in 2001 and 1.89% in 2002. For 2002, the cost of other borrowing was 3.21% and consisted of Federal Funds Purchased, FHLB advances, and Trust Preferred Borrowing. There were no other borrowings in 2001. The provision for loan losses for the year ended December 31, 2001 was $400,000 and $2,460,000 for the year ended December 31, 2002. Non-interest income of $8,952,310 in 2001 and $17,895,166 in 2002 contributed significantly to earnings. Service charges increased from $786,142 in 2001 to $965,067 in 2002 due to increased number of accounts. Mortgage fees, which is comprised of broker referral income and other fees on mortgage loan originations, increased from $2,004,254 in 2001 to $2,943,730 in 2002 due to a higher volume of single family residence mortgage originations because of the low rate environment. SBA loan servicing income increased from $339,060 in 2001 to $1,129,328 in 2002 due to the increase in the servicing portfolio and servicing rates on loans sold in 2002, generally at higher rates than in 2001. The gain on sale of loans was $4,739,335 in 2001, compared to $11,389,023 in 2002 due to significantly higher SBA and mortgage loan sales. Non-interest expense was $14,831,041 in 2001 compared to $21,800,838 in 2002. Salaries and benefits increased from $9,308,724 in 2001 to $14,866,458 in 2002. Other expenses increased from $3,201,653 in 2001 to $5,082,210 in 2002 due to higher loan volume, processing expenses and office related expenses associated with the general expansion of the Bank. For 2001, the tax expense was $1,205,018 for an effective rate of 40.0% and for 2002 the tax expense was $2,874,054 for an effective rate of 40.7%. Deferred tax assets totaled $819,000 at December 31, 2001 and $1,728,000 at December 31, 2002. Over half of the deferred tax asset is due to the tax deductibility timing difference of the provision for loan loss. Temecula Valley Bancorp Inc.
