        Temecula Valley Bancorp Inc. Announces 38% Increase In Earnings


     TEMECULA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 14, 2005--Temecula Valley Bancorp
Inc.'s (NASDAQ:TMCV) earnings for the quarter ending September 30, 2005 were
$3,285,162 a 38% increase from the $2,374,362 earned in the same period last
year. Net income for the nine months ending September 30, 2005 was $10,229,883
compared to $7,593,138 for the same period last year, a $2,636,745 or 35%
increase. "We are pleased with the results," stated Stephen H. Wacknitz,
President/CEO/Chairman, "considering that for 2005 Temecula Valley Bank (the
Bank) has increased cost associated with its SBA operations, risk management
functions, and has opened a new branch. The Bank has expanded its SBA sales
force and the corresponding support functions by hiring a new National Sales
Manager, Western Regional Sales Manager, and Operations Manager. A new Chief
Risk Officer, Appraisal Department Manager, Human Resources Director, and their
related support staff have been added to strengthen the Bank's risk management
functions. In October, the Bank opened a new branch in Carlsbad. We look forward
to the future benefits of our expansion efforts undertaken in 2005." The return
on average assets was 1.72% for the third quarter and 1.96% for the first nine
months of 2005. The return on average equity was 24.97% for the third quarter
and 28.28% for the first nine months of 2005. The net interest margin for all of
2004 was 5.96% and has improved to 6.68% for the first nine months of 2005 as
the Federal Reserve Bank has continued to increase fed funds rates.
     Total assets increased 34%, from $595,246,198 at September 30, 2004 to
$794,832,584 at September 30, 2005. Loans increased 36%, with construction loans
increasing 87%, real estate secured loans increasing 25%, commercial loans
increasing 17% and SBA loans, which include both real estate secured as well as
commercial loans, decreasing 18%. The large increase in construction loans was
due to increased tract housing construction, the addition of the loan production
office in San Rafael, and the general overall robust real estate market in
Southern California.
     Federal funds sold increased from $26,900,000 to $32,240,000. The allowance
for loan loss increased from $5,351,737 at September 30, 2004 to $8,240,198 at
September 30, 2005, a 54% increase which set the allowance for loan loss as a
percent of loans from 1.06% a year earlier to 1.20% at September 30, 2005.
     Net loan charge-offs were $111,236 for the first nine months of 2005,
compared to $641,096 for the same period in 2004. Non-accrual loans (net of SBA
guarantees) were $1,781,531 at September 30, 2005 compared to $2,541,320 at
September 30, 2004. There was $75,675 of other real estate owned (net of SBA
guarantees) as of September 30, 2004 compared to $1,507,246 at September 30,
2005.
     For the twelve-month period ending September 30, 2005, fixed assets
increased from $3,979,370 to $4,745,390 due to the addition of the full service
office and the addition of loan production offices. The SBA servicing assets
decreased $779,932 due to the average servicing rate slightly decreasing,
partially offset by a higher servicing portfolio.
     Deposits increased 33%, from $528,691,420 at September 30, 2004 to
$703,881,319 at September 30, 2005. The continued expansion of existing
branches, as well as various CD promotions have fueled the deposit growth.
Deposit growth is expected to be sufficient in the future to fund loan growth.
     Junior subordinated debt securities increased $8,248,000 due to the net
addition in September 2005 of $8,000,000 of trust preferred borrowing, of which
$7,000,000 was transferred to the Bank as tier one capital, and is considered
tier one and tier two capital on a consolidated basis.
     Shareholder equity increased from $39,790,676 at September 30, 2004 to
$53,954,273 at September 30, 2005 due to net income and the exercise of stock
options. The capital ratios remain strong, with the tier one leverage ratio of
9.34%, the tier one risk based ratio of 9.04% and the total risk based capital
ratio of 11.45%, all easily above the minimum to qualify as "well capitalized."
     Temecula Valley Bank was established in 1996 and operates full service
offices in Temecula, Murrieta, Corona, Fallbrook, Escondido, Rancho Bernardo, El
Cajon and Indian Wells. Temecula Valley Bancorp was established in June 2002 and
operates as a one-bank holding company for Temecula Valley Bank. As a Preferred
Lender (PLP) since 1998, the locally owned and operated Bank also has SBA loan
production offices in California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois,
