           Harrington West Announces September 2006 Quarter Earnings,
       Double-Digit Loan Growth, Margin Improvement, and Declares Regular
                   Quarterly Dividend of 12.5 Cents Per Share

     SOLVANG, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 25, 2006--Harrington West
Financial Group, Inc. (Nasdaq:HWFG), the holding company for Los
Padres Bank, FSB (LPB) and its division, Harrington Bank, with $1.1
billion in assets, today announced that it earned net income of $2.1
million or 38 cents per share on a fully diluted basis in the
September 2006 quarter compared to $2.1 million and 37 cents per share
earned in the same period a year ago. For the first nine months of
2006, HWFG earned net income of $6.3 million, or $1.13 per share on a
fully diluted basis, compared to $6.3 million or $1.12 per share in
the same period in 2005. Net income in the September 2006 quarter was
positively affected by a favorable tax audit ruling from the
California Franchise Tax Board, confirming the apportionment of income
to states in which HWFG operates, thus adding $255 thousand to net
income in the quarter that had been reserved pending the outcome of
the audit. HWFG expects its combined tax rate to normalize to
approximately 37.5% in future quarters. Return on average equity was
12.81% in the September 2006 quarter and 13.27% for the first nine
months of 2006. Based upon the earnings performance, HWFG's Board of
Directors declared a regular quarterly dividend of 12.5 cents per
share payable on November 10, 2006 to holders of record on November 3,
2006.

    The September 2006 quarter was highlighted by the following
developments and results:

    1. Net loan balances increased 14.1% or $92.1 million from
September 30, 2005 to September 30, 2006, and by 3.8% or $27.1 million
in the September 2006 quarter to $743.3 million.

    2. In the September 2006 quarter, average non-interest bearing
deposits were up 3.3% to $47.9 million, while the ending balance of
these deposits was up 12.9% to $54.1 million. Overall deposits
declined by $2.7 million to $708.5 million in the September 2006
quarter, due primarily to management's decision not to match
certificate of deposit promotions of other financial institutions
above its borrowing cost.

    3. The net interest margin expanded 3 bps in the September 2006
quarter over the June 2006 quarter and by 5 bps over the comparable
September 2005 quarter.

    4. Credit quality of the loan portfolio remained favorable with
$101 thousand of non-performing loans in the September 2006 quarter
versus none and $20 thousand in the June 2006 and September 2005
quarters, respectively.

    5. The investment securities portfolio, which consists of
available for sale and held to maturity securities, declined $5.9
million to $320.7 million in the quarter and is now $70.5 million less
than a year ago, as HWFG deploys its capital in loans rather than
investments in the tight spread environment.

    6. Book value per share was $12.08 at September 30, 2006, compared
with $10.85 at September 30, 2005, rising 11.3% over the period.

    7. The previously announced HWFG share repurchase program of
200,000 shares remains in effect. No shares have been repurchased
under the program.

    Strategy and Financial Performance

    HWFG's core strategy is to organically grow loans, deposits,
banking offices, and banking fee income on a controlled basis in the
markets of the Central Coast of California, the Phoenix metro, and the
Kansas City metro. Management has extensive knowledge of and banking
experience in these markets, which have favorable demographic and
growth characteristics. HWFG seeks to grow the core banking franchise
of loans and deposits at high single to low double-digit levels on an
annual basis through its expansion of deposit gathering offices,
adding lenders and business developers, and emphasizing its
diversified product menu and relationship banking approach. HWFG's
management also has significant expertise in managing mortgage
investments and interest rate risk and seeks to maintain banking risks
at a low level. Controlling operating costs congruent with its
expansion plans is also a key variable to HWFG's strategic plan.
Together, these long term strategies are expected to improve earnings
and build franchise and shareholder values.

    HWFG demonstrated favorable progress in growing its loan portfolio
at a double-digit annualized increase of 15.1% in the September
quarter. Loan demand remained robust across HWFG's diversified loan
product offerings in multiple markets, with lower loan payoff activity
in the higher rate environment. Asset quality, too, was generally
favorable with $101 thousand of non-performing loans at September 30,
2006. HWFG added $200 thousand to its reserve for loan losses based on
the portfolio mix and growth of loans in the quarter. HWFG completed
the sale of its real estate owned on October 24, 2006 for the net book
value of $1.1 million, with an expected loss of $9 thousand at
closing.

    Although non-interest bearing deposits grew by $6.2 million, or
12.9% in the quarter, overall deposits declined as HWFG would not
match the certificate of deposit rates offered by competition that
exceeded its comparable cost of borrowing. As such, total deposits
declined $2.7 million in the September quarter, but were $36.8 million
or 5.5% over September 30, 2005.

    The net interest margin expanded for the third consecutive quarter
to 2.88%, increasing 3 bps from the June quarter 2006. The mix change
from HWFG's loan growth and the reduction of the investment portfolio
are increasing HWFG's net interest margin, offset somewhat by the lag
in the re-pricing of some floating rate loans (lagging PRIME and cost
of funds) and the pressure on deposit cost from competition increasing
deposit rates more than general market rates. As a result of the net
interest margin expansion and loan growth offsetting the reduction in
the investment portfolio, net interest income was $7.7 million in the
September 2006 quarter versus $7.6 million in the September 2005
quarter, growing 1.9%. For the first nine months of 2006, net interest
income was $23.2 million compared to $22.6 million in the comparable
period in 2005, growing 2.6%, in line with the growth in average
interest earning assets.

    Banking fee and other income was $931 thousand in the September
2006 quarter as compared to $1,194 thousand and $1,159 thousand in the
June 2006 and September 2005 quarters, respectively. After adjusting
for a one-time recovery of $295 thousand in the June 2006 quarter,
banking fee and other income sources continued to grow in the
September 2006 quarter, increasing $32 thousand over the prior
quarter. The $295 thousand was the result of a recovery of back rents
and leasehold improvements from a tenant in the Metcalf, KS banking
office. However, banking fee income was lower by $228 thousand in the
September 2006 over the comparable quarter in 2005 due to lower
prepayment penalty fees. Prepayment penalty fees declined $207
thousand from the September 2005 to the September 2006 quarter due to
higher market rates and fewer loan prepayments.

    Investment portfolio net gains were $150 thousand in the quarter
and emanated totally from the tightening of spreads on HWFG's
remaining total rate of return swap portfolio held in its trading
portfolio. These swaps profit from a tightening of general spreads to
comparable LIBOR rates and were entered into partially as a hedge
against narrowing security and loan spreads on commercial real estate
and residential loans. With the extreme tightening of credit spreads
over the last 2 years, HWFG has reduced the notional amount of these
swaps from over $160 million to $10 million at September 30, 2006.
Management believes that spreads have tightened to an extent that the
risk/return tradeoff is not favorable for holding many of these
positions.

    Operating expenses were $5.5 million in the September 2006
quarter, virtually unchanged from the June 2006 quarter and compared
to $5.4 million in the September 2005 quarter. Operating expenses have
increased largely from the expansion of new banking offices in HWFG's
markets and the increase in general corporate and health care
benefits. In August, HWFG successfully opened its third Harrington
Bank office in the Kansas City metro, representing its 16th office
across all markets. HWFG plans to open three new offices in the
Phoenix metro market over the next 18 to 24 months in Surprise,
Arizona, the Deer Valley Airpark in Phoenix, Arizona, and in Gilbert,
Arizona, bringing its Phoenix metro offices to five locations. The
Company recently reached definitive contract terms to acquire a 55
thousand square foot parcel at Lindsay and Warner Roads in Gilbert,
Arizona, for $1.0 million. It is also investigating opportunities in
its California markets to fill-in its market presence.

    Closing Comments

    In commenting on the results and developments in September 2006
quarter, Craig J. Cerny, Chairman and CEO of HWFG, stated: "We are
pleased to have continued to grow our loan portfolio at double digit
rates, while asset quality remains favorable. Our net interest margin
also expanded for the third straight quarter despite a very
competitive marketplace for deposits and tight spreads on financial
assets. We are also pleased with our core, non-costing deposit
development in the quarter, although overall deposits did decline due
to our not matching certificate of deposit rates of our competitors
that are above our cost of borrowing. We remain focused on building
out our market franchises and the related loans, core deposits, and
fee income sources, utilizing our capital efficiently, and controlling
operating expenses, in an effort to improve profitability and
shareholder value."
