Exhibit 99.1 Temecula Valley Bancorp Announces Record Earnings TEMECULA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 21, 2006--Temecula Valley Bancorp Inc.'s (NASDAQ:TMCV) announces record earnings for the quarter ending March 31, 2006. "We are very pleased with the results," stated Stephen H. Wacknitz, Chairman/President/CEO. "Our first quarter profits were $3.98 million, a 33% increase from the $3 million earned in the same period last year. This unprecedented level of profitability was achieved despite the new requirement to expense stock options." The net interest income for the quarter ending March 31, 2006 was $13.37 million, a 48% increase from the $9.03 million earned in the same period last year, primarily due to the increase in loans outstanding and improvement in net interest margin. Return on average assets was 1.82% and return on average equity was 26.72% for the quarter ending March 31, 2006. This level of performance places the bank among the top performers in the country. Total assets were $924.76 million at March 31, 2006, a 41% increase from $656.86 million at March 31, 2005. For the same periods, loans increased 36%. The increase in loans was due to continuing strong lending activity. The allowance for loan loss increased by 31% from $7.05 million at March 31, 2005 to $9.20 million at March 31, 2006. Net charge-offs were $155 thousand for the first three months of 2005 and for 2006. Non-accrual loans (net of SBA guarantees) were down 70% from the $3.31 million at March 31, 2005, to $1.01 million at March 31, 2006. Other real estate owned (net of SBA guarantees) was $69 thousand at March 31, 2005 compared to $318 thousand at March 31, 2006. Deposits increased 42%, from $582.87 million at March 31, 2005 to $826.40 million at March 31, 2006. The continued deposit growth of existing branches, the various CD promotions and the new branch in Carlsbad has fueled the deposit growth. Deposit growth is expected to be sufficient to fund future loan growth. Shareholder equity increased 36% from $46.05 million at March 31, 2005 to $62.82 million at March 31, 2006 due primarily to net income and the exercise of stock options. The capital ratios remain strong at March 31, 2006, with the tier one leverage ratio of 9.34%, the tier one risk based ratio of 9.28% and the total risk based capital ratio of 11.14%, all easily above the minimum to qualify as "well capitalized."
