Item 1.01 - Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On September 29, 2005, Temecula Valley Bancorp Inc. (the "Company") completed a
private placement of $8,000,000 of trust preferred securities (the "Securities")
through Temecula Valley Statutory Trust IV, a Delaware trust (the "Trust"), a
statutory trust formed by the Company for that purpose.

In connection with this issuance, the Company entered into an Amended and
Restated Trust Agreement (the "Trust Agreement"), dated September 29, 2005,
among the Company, Wilmington Trust Company and the administrators named
therein, pursuant to which the Securities were issued. The Securities require
quarterly distributions and bear interest at a floating rate equal to the
three-month LIBOR rate plus 1.40%. The initial rate is 5.42038%. The Securities
mature in 30 years and are redeemable, in whole or in part, without penalty, at
the option of the Company after five years.

The proceeds from the sale of the Securities were used by the Trust to purchase
from the Company $8,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of the Company's
fixed/floating rate junior deferrable interest debentures due in 2035 (the
"Debentures").

The Debentures were issued pursuant to an indenture (the "Indenture"), dated
September 29, 2005, by and between the Company and Wilmington Trust Company, as
trustee. The Debentures bear interest at a floating rate equal to the three
month LIBOR rate plus 1.40%. The initial rate is 5.42038%, and are redeemable,
without penalty, at the option of the Company after five years. The interest
payments on the Debentures made by the Company will be used to pay the quarterly
distributions payable by the Trust to the holders of the Securities.

The Company also entered into a guarantee agreement providing for the limited
guarantee of certain payments by the Trust.

The Trust Agreement and the Indenture will be filed as exhibits to the Company's
next filed Form 10-Q.
