 Item 3.02  Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

As described in the press release attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this report and
incorporated herein by reference, on November 21, 2006, Temecula Valley Bancorp
Inc. ("Company") completed a private placement of shares of its common stock.
The purchase price was $21.31 per share for the 64,139 shares sold to 19
employees, officers and directors of the Company or its bank subsidiary, and the
Company's employee stock ownership plan. The purchase price for the remaining
1,336,430 shares sold to other investors was $19.00 per share. The placement was
made under the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Rule 506 of Regulation D thereunder, on
the basis that the placement did not involve any public offering and the
purchasers were accredited or sophisticated and had sufficient access to the
kind of information registration would provide.

Under the terms of a registration rights agreement between the Company and each
stock purchaser in the placement, the Company will use its reasonable best
efforts to prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, within
90 days after the closing of the placement, a registration statement covering
resale of the shares of common stock issued in the placement and to have that
registration statement declared effective within 180 days.

Under the terms of subscription agreements dated November 21, 2006 between the
Company and each stock purchaser under the placement, each purchaser offered to
buy common stock under certain conditions and made customary representations.
