Item 5.03 - Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal
Year.

The Board of Directors (the "Board") of Temecula Valley Bancorp Inc. (the
"Company") previously approved, subject to shareholder approval, amendments to
the Company's Articles of Incorporation that would (i) increase the number of
authorized shares of the Company's common stock from 40,000,000 to 90,000,000
and (ii) authorize 15,000,000 shares of preferred stock. According to the
preliminary results from the Company's annual shareholders meeting held on May
26, 2009, the Company's shareholders approved the amendment to increase the
authorized shares of common stock from 40,000,000 to 90,000,000. The
shareholders failed to approve the proposed amendment to authorize 15,000,000
shares of preferred stock.

The amendment will become effective upon filing with the California Secretary of
State, which we anticipate will occur within the next two weeks. Additional
information regarding the amendment is provided in the Definitive Proxy
Materials filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 7, 2009.

A copy of Article III, as amended, and as approved by the Company's
shareholders, is attached to this report as Exhibit 3.1 and is incorporated
herein by reference.
