PART I



|ITEM 1. | BUSINESS
|------- | --------

General

The Company

1stCentennial Bancorp (the Company) is a California corporation registered as a bank holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, and is headquartered in Redlands, California. We were incorporated in August 1999 and
acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of 1stCentennial Bank (the Bank) in December 1999. In February 2003 the Company changed its
name from Centennial First Financial Services to 1stCentennial Bancorp and the Bank changed its name from Redlands Centennial Bank to 1stCentennial Bank. Our principal offices are located at 218 East State Street, Redlands, California. Our telephone number is (909) 798-3611, and our
website address is www.1stcent.com. In August 2001, we acquired Palomar Community Bank in Escondido, California. Palomar Community Bank was formerly a savings and loan association, which converted to a state-chartered commercial bank in November
1999. In May 2002, Palomar Community Bank was merged into 1stCentennial Bank, so that our principal subsidiary is now 1stCentennial Bank. Our only other subsidiaries are Centennial Capital Trust II and Centennial Capital Trust III, which were formed in January 2004 and September
2005, respectively, solely to facilitate the issuance of capital trust pass-through securities. On July 7, 2007, Centennial Capital Trust I (the Trust), a wholly-owned subsidiary of 1st Centennial Bancorp (the Company),
redeemed 100% of its trust preferred securities that were issued on July 11, 2002 with a maturity date of October 7, 2032, as allowed by the early redemption provisions of the transaction documents concerning those securities.
Simultaneously, the Company retired the $6,186,000 principal amount of junior subordinated debentures issued to the Trust that became due and payable upon redemption of the trust preferred securities. The Trust, which was dissolved on July 12,
2007, returned the $186,000 in capital to the Company in exchange for the cancellation of the common securities in that amount originally issued by the Trust to the Company at the close of the transaction in 2002. Pursuant to Financial Accounting
Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (VIEs) (FIN 46), these trusts are not reflected on a consolidated basis in our consolidated financial statements.

Our principal source of income is currently dividends from the Bank, but we intend to explore supplemental sources of income in the future. Our
expenditures, including but not limited to the payment of dividends to shareholders, if and when declared by the Board of Directors, and the cost of servicing debt, will generally be paid from such payments made to us by the Bank.

As of December 31, 2007, the Company had total consolidated assets of $689.5 million, total consolidated net loans of $514.6 million, total
consolidated deposits of $478.0 million and total consolidated Shareholders equity of $52.3 million. Our liabilities include $12.3 million in subordinated notes payable to subsidiary trusts due our trust subsidiaries. The liability is related
to capital trust pass-through securities issued by those entities.

The Bank

The Bank is an independent California state-chartered bank, which commenced operations in 1990. In addition to our main office and corporate headquarters
in Redlands, in San Bernardino County, we operate five full-service branch offices in Southern California; one in Brea, in Orange County; one in Escondido, in San Diego County; one in Palm Desert, in Riverside County; one in Irwindale, in Los
Angeles County; and one in Temecula, in Riverside County. We also operate a Real Estate & Construction Loan Division in Redlands, a Small Business Administration / Commercial Loans Conduit Group loan production office and a Religious
Lending Group, located in Brea, in Orange County, and a Home Owners Association Group in Escondido, in San Diego County.

Our lending activity is concentrated primarily in real estate loans (including construction and
development, residential, and commercial and multi-family loans), which constituted 62% of our loan portfolio as of December 31, 2007, and commercial loans, which constituted 35% of our loan portfolio as of December 31, 2007.

Our deposit accounts are insured under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act up to applicable limits, and subject to regulations by that federal agency
and to periodic examinations of its operations and compliance by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and the California Department of Financial Institutions. Like most state-chartered banks of our size in California, we are
not a member of the Federal Reserve System. We are a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank. See Item 1, Regulation and Supervision.

We are a community bank, offering our customers a wide variety of personal, consumer and commercial services expected of a locally-managed, independently-operated bank. Our full service offices are all located in business areas adjacent to
developed and/or developing retail, commercial and consumer marketplaces. While our primary focus is on commercial lending and residential construction in and around the areas we serve, we also offer a wide range of loan and deposit banking products
and services to local consumers. We provide a broad range of deposit instruments and general banking services, including checking, savings, and money market accounts; time certificates of deposit for both business and personal accounts; telebanking
(banking by phone); courier services; and internet banking, including account management, inter-bank and intra-bank transfer, and bill payment services. We also provide a wide variety of lending products for both businesses and consumers. Real
estate loan products include construction loans, lot loans, residential real estate brokerage, commercial real estate conduit sales, mini-perm commercial real estate loans, and home mortgages. Commercial loan products include lines of credit,
letters of credit, term loans and equipment loans, commercial real estate loans, SBA loans, equipment leasing and other working capital financing. Financing products for individuals include auto, home equity and home improvement lines of credit,
personal lines of credit, and VISA credit cards. We are a Preferred Lender under the SBA in the counties of Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, Los Angeles, Ventura and Santa Barbara.

We also offer numerous specialized services designed for the needs of our business customers. These services include a credit card program for merchants,
commercial and standby letters of credit, online business management services and electronic deposit processing. We also provide certain international banking services indirectly through our correspondent banks.

In addition, we offer a wide range of non-deposit and investment products through KWB Wealth Managers Group, a Linsco Private Ledger firm. These products
include financial and estate planning, stocks and bonds, mutual funds and variable annuities, and various retirement plans. Products offered through this firm are not insured by the FDIC, are not deposits or obligations of the Bank, and are not
guaranteed by the Bank.

Competition

The banking business in California generally, and specifically in our market areas in San Bernardino, Orange,
San Diego, Riverside, and Los Angeles counties in Southern California, is highly competitive with respect to virtually all products and services and has become increasingly so in recent years. The industry continues to consolidate, and strong,
unregulated competitors have entered banking markets with focused products targeted at highly profitable customer segments. Many competitors are able to compete across geographic boundaries and provide customers access to alternatives to banking
services and nearly all significant products. These competitive trends are likely to continue.

##### Table of Contents

With respect to commercial bank competitors, the business is largely dominated by a relatively small
number of major banks with many offices operating over a wide geographical area, which have, among other advantages, the ability to finance wide-ranging and effective advertising campaigns and to allocate investment resources to regions of highest
yield and demand. Many of the major banks operating in the area offer certain services directly that we may offer indirectly through correspondent institutions. By virtue of their greater total capitalization, such banks also have substantially
higher lending limits than we do.

In addition to other banks, competitors include savings institutions, credit unions, and numerous
non-banking institutions such as finance companies, leasing companies, insurance companies, brokerage firms, and investment banking firms. In recent years, increased competition has also developed from specialized finance and non-finance companies
that offer wholesale finance, credit card, and other consumer finance services, including on-line banking services and personal finance software. Strong competition for deposit and loan products affects the rates of those products as well as the
terms on which they are offered to customers. Mergers between financial institutions have placed additional pressure on banks within the industry to streamline their operations, reduce expenses, and increase revenues to remain competitive.
Competition has also intensified due to federal and state interstate banking laws, which permit banking organizations to expand geographically, and the California market has been particularly attractive to out-of-state institutions. The Financial
Modernization Act, which became effective in March 2000, has made it possible for full affiliations to occur between banks and securities firms, insurance companies, and other financial companies, and has also intensified competitive conditions. See
Financial Modernization Act.

Technological innovation has also resulted in increased competition in financial services
markets. Such innovation has, for example, made it possible for non-depository institutions to offer customers automated transfer payment services that previously have been considered traditional banking products. In addition, many customers now
expect a choice of several delivery systems and channels, including telephone, mail, home computer, ATMs, self-service branches, and/or in-store branches. In addition to other banks, the sources of competition for such products include savings
associations, credit unions, brokerage firms, asset management groups, finance and insurance companies, internet-only financial intermediaries, and mortgage banking firms.

In order to compete with the other financial services providers, we principally rely upon local promotional activities, personal relationships
established by our officers, directors, and employees with our customers, and specialized services tailored to meet the needs of the communities we serve. In those instances where we are unable to accommodate a customers needs, we may arrange
for those services to be provided by our correspondent banks. We also have preferred lender or PLP status with the SBA, which enables us to approve SBA loans faster than many of our competitors. In order to compete on the
technological front, we maintain an Internet website with account management, inter-bank and intra-bank transfer, and bill payment services.

The larger financial institutions, including banks, brokerage houses, insurance companies, etc., are actively acquiring broker/dealer capabilities in order to capitalize on the emerging affluent population as the baby boomer
generation begins to enter retirement age. These services include state-of-the-art financial planning and investment strategies tailored to specific needs, and funded with open-architecture (best product available vs.
proprietary) products and services. To effectively meet these competitive pressures, the Company has aligned itself with a nationwide broker/dealer (Linsco Private Ledger or LPL) whereby it can provide the same type of
sophistication and product and service enhancements as larger financial institutions, while still maintaining a closer, more community-oriented customer service profile. We provide these services through KWB Wealth Managers Group, a Linsco Private
Ledger firm.

Employees

As of
December 31, 2007 the Company had 139 full-time and 9 part-time employees. On a full time equivalent basis, the Companys staffing stood at 144 at December 31, 2007 and 132 at December 31, 2006. Staff was increased during 2007 to
provide resources in order to maintain satisfactory customer service in growth areas, and to enhance business development activities in certain markets.

Regulation and Supervision

The Company and the Bank are subject to significant regulation by federal and state regulatory agencies. The following discussion of statutes and regulations is only a brief summary and does not purport to be
complete. This discussion is qualified in its entirety by reference to such statutes and regulations. No assurance can be given that such statutes or regulations will not change in the future.

Regulation of the Company Generally

The
Company is subject to the periodic reporting requirements of Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act), which requires us to file annual, quarterly and other current reports with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the SEC). We are also subject to additional regulations including, but not limited to, the proxy and tender offer rules promulgated by the SEC under Sections 13 and 14 of the Exchange Act; the reporting requirements
of directors, executive officers and principal shareholders regarding transactions in our common stock and short-swing profits rules promulgated by the SEC under Section 16 of the Exchange Act; and certain additional reporting requirements by
principal shareholders of the Company promulgated by the SEC under Section 13 of the Exchange Act.

The Company is a bank holding
company within the meaning of the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 and is registered as such with the Federal Reserve Board. A bank holding company is required to file with the Federal Reserve Board annual reports and other information regarding its
business operations and those of its subsidiaries. It is also subject to examination by the Federal Reserve Board and is required to obtain Federal Reserve Board approval before acquiring, directly or indirectly, ownership or control of any voting
shares of any bank if, after such acquisition, it would directly or indirectly own or control more than 5% of the voting stock of that bank, unless it already owns a majority of the voting stock of that bank.

The Federal Reserve Board has by regulation determined certain activities in which a bank holding company may or may not conduct business. A bank holding
company must engage, with certain exceptions, in the business of banking or managing or controlling banks or furnishing services to or performing services for its subsidiary banks. The permissible activities and affiliations of certain bank holding
companies were expanded in 2000 by the Financial Modernization Act. See Financial Modernization Act.

The Company and the Bank
are deemed to be affiliates of each other within the meaning set forth in the Federal Reserve Act and are subject to Sections 23A and 23B of the Federal Reserve Act. This means, for example, that there are limitations on loans by the subsidiary
banks to affiliates, and that all affiliate transactions must satisfy certain limitations and otherwise be on terms and conditions at least as favorable to the subsidiary banks as would be available for non-affiliates.

The Federal Reserve Board has a policy that bank holding companies must serve as a source of financial and managerial strength to their subsidiary banks.
It is the Federal Reserve Boards position that bank holding companies should stand ready to use their available resources to provide adequate capital to their subsidiary banks during periods of financial stress or adversity. Bank holding
companies should also maintain the financial flexibility and capital-raising capacity to obtain additional resources for assisting their subsidiary banks.

The Federal Reserve Board also has the authority to regulate bank holding company debt, including the authority to impose interest rate ceilings and reserve requirements on such debt. Under certain circumstances, the
Federal Reserve Board may require the Company to file written notice and obtain its approval prior to purchasing or redeeming the Companys equity securities.

Regulation of the Bank Generally

As a California state-chartered bank whose accounts are insured by the FDIC up to the maximum limits thereof, we are subject to regulation, supervision
and regular examination by the California Department of Financial Institutions and the FDIC. In addition, while we are not a member of the Federal Reserve System, we are subject to certain regulations of the Federal Reserve Board. The regulations of
these agencies govern most aspects of our business, including the making of periodic reports, and our activities relating to dividends, investments, loans, borrowings, capital requirements, certain check-clearing activities, branching, mergers and
acquisitions, reserves against deposits and numerous other areas. Supervision, legal action and examination of the Bank by the FDIC are generally intended to protect depositors and are not intended for the protection of shareholders.

The earnings and growth of the Bank are largely dependent on its ability to maintain a favorable differential or spread between the yield on
its interest-earning assets and the rate paid on its deposits and other interest-bearing liabilities. As a result, our performance is influenced by general economic conditions, both domestic and foreign, the monetary and fiscal policies of the
federal government, and the policies of the regulatory agencies, particularly the Federal Reserve Board. The Federal Reserve Board implements national monetary policies (such as seeking to curb inflation and combat recession) by its open-market
operations in U.S. Government securities, by adjusting the required level of reserves for financial institutions subject to its reserve requirements, and by varying the discount rate applicable to borrowings by banks which are members of the Federal
Reserve System. The actions of the Federal Reserve Board in these areas influence the growth of bank loans, investments and deposits and also affect interest rates charged on loans and deposits. The nature and impact of any future changes in
monetary policies cannot be predicted.

Capital Adequacy Requirements

The Company and the Bank are subject to the regulations of the Federal Reserve Board and the FDIC, respectively, governing capital adequacy. Each of the
federal regulators has established risk-based and leverage capital guidelines for the banks or bank holding companies it regulates, which set total capital requirements and define capital in terms of core capital elements, or Tier 1
capital; and supplemental capital elements, or Tier 2 capital. Tier 1 capital is generally defined as the sum of the core capital elements less goodwill and certain other deductions, notably the unrealized net gains or losses (after tax
adjustments) on available for sale investment securities carried at fair market value. The following items are defined as core capital elements: (i) common shareholders equity; (ii) qualifying non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock
and related surplus (not to exceed 25% of tier 1 capital); and (iii) minority interests in the equity accounts of consolidated subsidiaries. At December 31, 2007, $12 million of the Companys Tier 1 capital consisted of trust
preferred securities; however, no assurance can be given that trust preferred securities will continue to be treated as Tier 1 capital in the future. Tier 2 capital can include: (i) allowance for loan and lease losses (but not more than 1.25%
of an institutions risk-weighted assets); (ii) perpetual preferred stock and related surplus not qualifying as core capital; (iii) hybrid capital instruments, perpetual debt and mandatory convertible debt instruments; and
(iv) term subordinated debt and intermediate-term preferred stock and related surplus (but not more than 50% of Tier 1 capital). The maximum amount of Tier 2 capital that may be recognized for risk-based capital purposes is limited to 100% of
Tier 1 capital, net of goodwill.

The minimum required ratio of qualifying total capital to total risk-weighted assets is 8.0% (Total
Risk-Based Capital Ratio), at least one-half of which must be in the form of Tier 1 capital, and the minimum required ratio of Tier 1 capital to total risk-weighted assets is 4.0% (Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital Ratio). Risk-based
capital ratios are calculated to provide a measure of capital that reflects the degree of risk associated with a banking organizations operations for both transactions reported on the balance sheet as assets, and transactions, such as letters
of credit and recourse arrangements, which are recorded as off-balance sheet items. Under risk-based capital guidelines, the nominal dollar amounts of assets and credit-equivalent amounts of off-balance sheet items are multiplied by one of several
risk adjustment percentages, which range from 0% for assets with low

credit risk, such as certain U.S. Treasury securities, to 100% for assets with relatively high credit risk, such as unsecured loans. As of December 31,
2007 and 2006, the Banks Total Risk-Based Capital Ratios were 12.52% and 12.47%, respectively, and its Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital Ratios were 11.26% and 11.22%, respectively. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, the consolidated
Companys Total Risk-Based Capital Ratios were 12.94% and 12.92%, respectively, and its Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital Ratios were 11.69% and 10.83%, respectively.

The risk-based capital requirements also take into account concentrations of credit involving collateral or loan type and the risks of non-traditional activities (those that have not customarily been part
of the banking business). The regulations require institutions with high or inordinate levels of risk to operate with higher minimum capital standards, and authorize the regulators to review an institutions management of such risks in
assessing an institutions capital adequacy.

Additionally, the regulatory Statements of Policy on risk-based capital include exposure
to interest rate risk as a factor that the regulators will consider in evaluating an institutions capital adequacy, although interest rate risk does not impact the calculation of the risk-based capital ratios. Interest rate risk is the
exposure of a banks current and future earnings and equity capital to adverse movements in interest rates. While interest risk is inherent in a banks role as a financial intermediary, it introduces volatility to earnings and to the
economic value of the bank.

The FDIC and the Federal Reserve Board also require financial institutions to maintain a leverage capital
ratio designed to supplement the risk-based capital guidelines. Banks and bank holding companies that have received the highest rating of the five categories used by regulators to rate banks and are not anticipating or experiencing any significant
growth must maintain a ratio of Tier 1 capital (net of all intangibles) to adjusted total assets (Leverage Capital Ratio) of at least 3%. All other institutions are required to maintain a leverage ratio of at least 4% to 5%. Pursuant to
federal regulations, banks must maintain capital levels commensurate with the level of risk to which they are exposed, including the volume and severity of problem loans, and federal regulators may set higher capital requirements when a banks
particular circumstances warrant. The Banks Leverage Capital Ratios were 8.43% and 9.82% on December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, the consolidated Companys Leverage Capital Ratios were
8.74% and 9.46%, respectively. Both the Bank and the Company were well capitalized as of December 31, 2007.

For more
information on the Companys capital, see Part II, Item 7, Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of OperationCapital Resources. Risk-based capital ratio requirements are discussed in greater
detail in the following section.

Prompt Corrective Action Provisions

Federal law requires each federal banking agency to take prompt corrective action to resolve the problems of insured financial institutions, including but
not limited to those that fall below one or more prescribed minimum capital ratios. The federal banking agencies have by regulation defined the following five capital categories: (1) well capitalized (Total Risk-Based Capital Ratio
of 10%; Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital Ratio of 6%; and Leverage Ratio of 5%); (2) adequately capitalized (Total Risk-Based Capital Ratio of 8%; Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital Ratio of 4%; and Leverage Ratio of 4%) (or 3% if the institution
receives the highest rating from its primary regulator); (3) undercapitalized (Total Risk-Based Capital Ratio of less than 8%; Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital Ratio of less than 4%; or Leverage Ratio of less than 4%) (or 3% if the
institution receives the highest rating from its primary regulator); (4) significantly undercapitalized (Total Risk-Based Capital Ratio of less than 6%; Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital Ratio of less than 3%; or Leverage Ratio less than
3%); and (5) critically undercapitalized (tangible equity to total assets less than 2%). As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Bank was deemed well capitalized for regulatory capital purposes. A bank may be treated
as though it were in the next lower capital category if after notice and the opportunity for a hearing, the appropriate federal agency finds an unsafe or unsound condition or practice so warrants, but no bank may be treated as critically
undercapitalized unless its actual capital ratio warrants such treatment.

##### Table of Contents

At each successively lower capital category, an insured bank is subject to increased restrictions on its
operations. For example, a bank is generally prohibited from paying management fees to any controlling persons or from making capital distributions if to do so would make the bank undercapitalized. Asset growth and branching restrictions
apply to undercapitalized banks, which are required to submit written capital restoration plans meeting specified requirements (including a guarantee by the parent holding company, if any). Significantly undercapitalized banks are
subject to broad regulatory authority, including among other things, capital directives, forced mergers, restrictions on the rates of interest they may pay on deposits, restrictions on asset growth and activities, and prohibitions on paying bonuses
or increasing compensation to senior executive officers without FDIC approval. Even more severe restrictions apply to critically undercapitalized banks. Most importantly, except under limited circumstances, not later than 90 days after an insured
bank becomes critically undercapitalized, the appropriate federal banking agency is required to appoint a conservator or receiver for the bank.

In addition to measures taken under the prompt corrective action provisions, insured banks may be subject to potential actions by the federal regulators for unsafe or unsound practices in conducting their businesses or for violations of any
law, rule, regulation or any condition imposed in writing by the agency or any written agreement with the agency. Enforcement actions may include the issuance of a memorandum of understanding, cease and desist orders, termination of insurance of
deposits (in the case of a bank), the imposition of civil money penalties, the issuance of directives to increase capital, formal and informal agreements, or removal and prohibition orders against institution-affiliated parties.

Safety and Soundness Standards

The federal banking agencies have also adopted guidelines establishing safety and soundness standards for all insured depository institutions. Those guidelines relate to internal controls, information systems, internal audit systems, loan
underwriting and documentation, compensation and interest rate exposure. In general, the standards are designed to assist the federal banking agencies in identifying and addressing problems at insured depository institutions before capital becomes
impaired. If an institution fails to meet these standards, the appropriate federal banking agency may require the institution to submit a compliance plan and institute enforcement proceedings if an acceptable compliance plan is not submitted.

Premiums for Deposit Insurance

The Banks deposits are insured under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act up to the maximum applicable limits, and are therefore subject to deposit insurance assessments to maintain the FDICs Deposit Insurance Fund
(DIF). In November 2006, the FDIC adopted a new risk-based insurance assessment system effective January 1, 2007 designed to tie what banks pay for deposit insurance more closely to the risks they pose. The FDIC also adopted a new
base schedule of rates that the FDIC can adjust up or down, depending on the needs of the DIF, and set initial premiums for 2007 that range from 5 cents per $100 of domestic deposits in the lowest risk category to 43 cents per $100 of domestic
deposits for banks in the highest risk category. The new assessment system resulted in increased annual assessments on the deposits of the Bank of 5 cents per $100 of domestic deposits. An FDIC credit available to the Bank for prior contributions
offset the assessments for 2007 and was fully utilized in the first, second and most of the third quarterly assessments.

In addition,
banks must continue to pay an amount toward the retirement of the Financing Corporation bonds issued in the 1980s to assist in the recovery of the savings and loan industry. This amount fluctuates but for the first quarter of 2008 is 1.22
cents per $100 of insured deposits. These assessments will continue until the Financing Corporation bonds mature in 2017 through 2019.

Community Reinvestment Act

The Bank is subject to certain requirements and reporting obligations under the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA). The CRA generally requires the federal banking agencies to evaluate the record of a
financial institution in meeting the credit needs of its local communities, including low and moderate-income neighborhoods. The CRA further requires the agencies to consider a financial institutions record of meeting its community credit
needs when evaluating applications for, among other things, domestic branches, consummating mergers or acquisitions, or holding company formations. In measuring a banks compliance with its CRA obligations, the regulators utilize a
performance-based evaluation system which bases CRA ratings on the banks actual lending service and investment performance, rather than on the extent to which the institution conducts needs assessments, documents community outreach
activities or complies with other procedural requirements. In connection with its assessment of CRA performance, the FDIC assigns a rating of outstanding, satisfactory, needs to improve or substantial
noncompliance. The Bank was last examined for CRA compliance in July 2006, and received a satisfactory CRA Assessment Rating.

Financial Modernization Act

Effective March 11, 2000, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, also known as the
Financial Modernization Act, enabled full affiliations to occur among banks and securities firms, insurance companies, and other financial service providers, and enabled full affiliations to occur between such entities. This legislation
permits bank holding companies that are well-capitalized and well-managed and meet other conditions can elect to become financial holding companies. As financial holding companies, they and their subsidiaries are permitted to acquire or
engage in activities that were not previously allowed by bank holding companies such as insurance underwriting, securities underwriting and distribution, travel agency activities, broad insurance agency activities, merchant banking and other
activities that the Federal Reserve determines to be financial in nature or complementary to these activities. Financial holding companies continue to be subject to the overall oversight and supervision of the Federal Reserve, but the Financial
Modernization Act applies the concept of functional regulation to the activities conducted by subsidiaries. For example, insurance activities would be subject to supervision and regulation by state insurance authorities. The Company has no current
intention of becoming a financial holding company, but may do so at some point in the future if deemed appropriate in view of opportunities or circumstances at the time.

Privacy and Data Security

The Financial Modernization Act also imposed new requirements on
financial institutions with respect to consumer privacy. The statute generally prohibits disclosure of consumer information to non-affiliated third parties unless the consumer has been given the opportunity to object and has not objected to such
disclosure. Financial institutions are further required to disclose their privacy policies to consumers annually. Financial institutions, however, will be required to comply with state law if it is more protective of consumer privacy than the
Financial Modernization Act. The statute also directed federal regulators, including the Federal Reserve and the FDIC, to prescribe standards for the security of consumer information. The Company and the Bank are subject to such standards, as well
as standards for notifying consumers in the event of a security breach.

Other Consumer Protection Laws and Regulations

Activities of all insured banks are subject to a variety of statutes and regulations designed to protect consumers, such as including the Fair Credit
Reporting Act, Equal Credit Opportunity Act, and Truth-in-Lending Act. Interest and other charges collected or contracted for by the Bank are also subject to state usury laws and certain other federal laws concerning interest rates. The Banks
loan operations are also subject to federal laws and regulations applicable to credit transactions. Together, these laws and regulations include provisions that:



| |  |  | govern disclosures of credit terms to consumer borrowers;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------

##### Table of Contents

| |  |  | require financial institutions to provide information to enable the public and public officials to determine whether a financial institution is fulfilling its
obligation to help meet the housing needs of the community it serves;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | prohibit discrimination on the basis of race, creed, or other prohibited factors in extending credit;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | govern the use and provision of information to credit reporting agencies; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | govern the manner in which consumer debts may be collected by collection agencies.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Banks deposit operations are also subject to laws and regulations that:



| |  |  | impose a duty to maintain the confidentiality of consumer financial records and prescribe procedures for complying with administrative subpoenas of financial
records; and
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | govern automatic deposits to and withdrawals from deposit accounts and customers rights and liabilities arising from the use of automated teller machines and
other electronic banking services.

Interstate Banking and Branching

The Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994 (the Interstate Banking Act) regulates the interstate activities of
banks and bank holding companies. Generally speaking, under the Interstate Banking Act, a bank holding company located in one state may lawfully acquire a bank located in any other state, subject to deposit-percentage, aging requirements and other
restrictions. The Interstate Banking Act also generally provides that national and state-chartered banks may, subject to applicable state law, branch interstate through acquisitions of banks in other states. The Interstate Banking Act and related
California laws have increased competition in the environment in which the Bank operates to the extent that out-of-state financial institutions directly or indirectly enter the Banks market areas. It appears that the Interstate Banking Act has
contributed to the accelerated consolidation of the banking industry.

USA Patriot Act of 2001

The USA Patriot Act of 2001 (The Patriot Act) was enacted in October 2001 in response to the terrorist attacks in New York, Pennsylvania and
Washington, D.C. on September 11, 2001. The Patriot Act was intended to strengthen U.S. law enforcements and the intelligence communities ability to work cohesively to combat terrorism on a variety of fronts. The impact of the
Patriot Act on financial institutions of all kinds has been significant and wide ranging. The Patriot Act substantially enhanced existing anti-money laundering and financial transparency laws, and required appropriate regulatory authorities to adopt
rules to promote cooperation among financial institutions, regulators, and law enforcement entities in identifying parties that may be involved in terrorism or money laundering. Under the Patriot Act, financial institutions are subject to
prohibitions regarding specified financial transactions and account relationships, as well as enhanced due diligence and know your customer standards in their dealings with foreign financial institutions and foreign customers. For
example, the enhanced due diligence policies, procedures, and controls generally require financial institutions to take reasonable steps to:



| |  |  | conduct enhanced scrutiny of account relationships to guard against money laundering and report any suspicious transactions;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | ascertain the identity of the nominal and beneficial owners of, and the source of funds deposited into, each account as needed to guard against money laundering and
report any suspicious transactions;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | ascertain for any foreign bank, the shares of which are not publicly traded, the identity of the owners of the foreign bank, and the nature and extent of the
ownership interest of each such owner; and
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | ascertain whether any foreign bank provides correspondent accounts to other foreign banks and, if so, the identity of those foreign banks and related due diligence
information.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

##### Table of Contents

The Patriot Act also requires all financial institutions to establish anti-money laundering programs,
which must include, at minimum:



| |  |  | the development of internal policies, procedures, and controls;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the designation of a compliance officer;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------



| |  |  | an ongoing employee training program; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------



| |  |  | an independent audit function to test the programs.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------

The Company implemented the requirements under the Patriot Act during 2001 and 2002. Compliance with such requirements has all been accomplished with existing staff, so the financial impact on the Company has been
negligible.

Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (Sarbanes-Oxley) was enacted to increase corporate responsibility, provide for enhanced penalties for accounting and auditing improprieties at publicly traded companies, and protect investors by
improving the accuracy and reliability of disclosures pursuant to the securities laws. Sarbanes-Oxley includes important new requirements for public companies in the areas of financial disclosure, corporate governance, and the independence,
composition and responsibilities of audit committees. Among other things, Sarbanes-Oxley mandates chief executive and chief financial officer certifications of periodic financial reports, additional financial disclosures concerning
off-balance sheet items, and speedier transaction reporting requirements for executive officers, directors and 10% shareholders. In addition, penalties for non-compliance with the Exchange Act were heightened. SEC rules promulgated pursuant to
Sarbanes-Oxley impose obligations and restrictions on auditors and audit committees intended to enhance their independence from management, and include extensive additional disclosure, corporate governance and other related rules. Sarbanes-Oxley
represents significant federal involvement in matters traditionally left to state regulatory systems, such as the regulation of the accounting profession, and to state corporate law, such as the relationship between a Board of Directors and
Management and between a Board of Directors and its committees.

We have not experienced any significant difficulties in complying with
Sarbanes-Oxley. However, we have incurred, and expect to continue to incur, significant costs in connection with compliance with Section 404 of Sarbanes-Oxley, which requires Management to undertake an assessment of the adequacy and
effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting and requires our auditors to attest to, and report on, Managements assessment and the operating effectiveness of these controls. The Company expensed approximately $23,000 in 2007
and $81,000 in 2006, on compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

Commercial Real Estate Lending and Concentrations

On December 2, 2006, the federal bank regulatory agencies released Guidance on Concentrations in Commercial Real Estate
(CRE) Lending, Sound Risk Management Practices (the Guidance). The Guidance, which was issued in response to the agencies concern that rising CRE concentrations might expose institutions to unanticipated earnings and
capital volatility in the event of adverse changes in the commercial real estate market, reinforces existing regulations and guidelines for real estate lending and loan portfolio management.

Highlights of the Guidance include the following:



| |  |  | The agencies have observed that CRE concentrations have been rising over the past several years with small to mid-size institutions showing the most significant
increase in CRE concentrations over the last decade. However, some institutions risk management practices are not evolving with their increasing CRE concentrations, and therefore, the Guidance reminds institutions that strong risk management
practices and appropriate levels of capital are important elements of a sound CRE lending program.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



12

##### Table of Contents

| |  |  | The Guidance applies to national banks and state chartered banks and is also broadly applicable to bank holding companies. For purposes of the Guidance, CRE loans
include loans for land development and construction, other land loans and loans secured by multifamily and nonfarm residential properties. The definition also extends to loans to real estate investment trusts and unsecured loans to developers if
their performance is closely linked to the performance of the general CRE market.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The agencies recognize that banks serve a vital role in their communities by supplying credit for business and real estate development. Therefore, the Guidance is
not intended to limit banks CRE lending. Instead, the Guidance encourages institutions to identify and monitor credit concentrations, establish internal concentration limits, and report all concentrations to management and the board of
directors on a periodic basis.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The agencies recognized that different types of CRE lending present different levels of risk, and therefore, institutions are encouraged to segment their CRE
portfolios to acknowledge these distinctions. However, the CRE portfolio should not be divided into multiple sections simply to avoid the appearance of risk concentration.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Institutions should address the following key elements in establishing a risk management framework for identifying, monitoring, and controlling CRE risk:
(1) board of directors and management oversight; (2) portfolio management; (3) management information systems; (4) market analysis; (5) credit underwriting standards; (6) portfolio stress testing and sensitivity
analysis; and (7) credit review function.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | As part of the ongoing supervisory monitoring processes, the agencies will use certain criteria to identify institutions that are potentially exposed to significant
CRE concentration risk. An institution that has experienced rapid growth in CRE lending, has notable exposure to a specific type of CRE, or is approaching or exceeds specified supervisory criteria may be identified for further supervisory analysis.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Company believes that the Guidance is applicable to it, as it has a concentration in CRE loans. The Company and its
board of directors have discussed the Guidance and believe that the Companys underwriting policy, management information systems, independent credit administration process and monthly monitoring of real estate loan concentrations will be
sufficient to address the Guidance.

Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses

On December 13, 2006, the federal bank regulatory agencies released Interagency Policy Statement on the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses
(ALLL), which revises and replaces the banking agencies 1993 policy statement on the ALLL. The revised statement was issued to ensure consistency with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and more recent supervisory
guidance. The revised statement extends the applicability of the policy to credit unions. Additionally, the agencies issued 16 FAQs to assist institutions in complying with both GAAP and ALLL supervisory guidance.

Highlights of the revised statement include the following:



| |  |  | The revised statement emphasizes that the ALLL represents one of the most significant estimates in an institutions financial statements and regulatory reports
and that an assessment of the appropriateness of the ALLL is critical to an institutions safety and soundness.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Each institution has a responsibility to develop, maintain, and document a comprehensive, systematic, and consistently applied process for determining the amounts
of the ALLL. An institution must maintain an ALLL that is sufficient to cover estimated credit losses on individual impaired loans as well as estimated credit losses inherent in the remainder of the portfolio.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The revised statement updates the previous guidance on the following issues regarding ALLL: (1) responsibilities of the board of directors, management, and
bank examiners; (2) factors to be considered in the estimation of ALLL; and (3) objectives and elements of an effective loan review system.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

##### Table of Contents

The Company and its board of directors have discussed the revised statement and believe that the
Companys ALLL methodology is comprehensive, systematic, and that it is consistently applied across the Company. The Company believes its management information systems, independent credit administration process, policies and procedures are
sufficient to address the guidance.

Other Pending and Proposed Legislation

Other legislative and regulatory initiatives which could affect the Company, the Bank and the banking industry in general are pending, and additional
initiatives may be proposed or introduced, before the U.S. Congress, the California legislature and other governmental bodies in the future. Such proposals, if enacted, may further alter the structure, regulation and competitive relationship among
financial institutions, and may subject the Bank to increased regulation, disclosure and reporting requirements. In addition, the various banking regulatory agencies often adopt new rules and regulations to implement and enforce existing
legislation. It cannot be predicted whether, or in what form, any such legislation or regulations may be enacted or the extent to which the business of the Company or the Bank would be affected thereby.

|ITEM 1A. | RISK FACTORS
|-------- | ------------

Statements and financial discussion
and analysis by management contained throughout this report that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements
involve a number risks and uncertainties. The important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements herein include, without limitation, the factors set forth below. The risks and uncertainties
described below are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that management currently believes are immaterial also may impair our business. If any of the events described in the following risk
factors occur, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected materially. In addition, the trading price of our common stock could decline due to any of the events described in these risks.

Changes in economic conditions in our market areas could hurt our business materially.

Our business is directly impacted by factors such as economic, political and market conditions, broad trends in industry and finance, legislative and
regulatory changes, changes in government monetary and fiscal policies and inflation, all of which are beyond our control. A deterioration in economic conditions, whether caused by national or local concerns, in particular an economic slowdown in
Southern California, could result in the following consequences, any of which could hurt our business materially: loan delinquencies may increase; problem assets and foreclosures may increase; demand for our products and services may decrease; low
cost or noninterest bearing deposits may decrease; and collateral for loans made by us, especially real estate, may decline in value, in turn reducing customers borrowing power, and reducing the value of assets and collateral associated with
our existing loans. These circumstances may lead to an increase in nonaccrual and classified loans, which generally results in a provision for credit losses and in turn reduces the Companys net earnings. The State of California continues to
face fiscal challenges, the long-term effects of which on the States economy cannot be predicted.

Concentrations of real estate loans could
subject us to increased risks in the event of a real estate recession or natural disaster.

Our loan portfolio is heavily concentrated
in real estate loans consisting of construction and development, residential and commercial and multi-family. At December 31, 2007, 62% of our loan portfolio was concentrated in real estate loans. Between December 31, 2006 and
December 31, 2007 our real estate loans increased $68.6 million or 27% from $254.3 million to $322.9 million. Of this amount, as of December 31, 2007, $240.6 million represented construction and development loans secured by real estate,
$2.5 million represented residential loans secured by residential real estate and $79.8 million represented loans secured by commercial and multifamily real estate. The Southern California real estate market ended 2006 with declining prices and a
slower sales pace and has maintained these levels into 2007. If real estate sales and appreciation continue to weaken, the Company might experience an increase in nonperforming assets in its commercial real estate and commercial and industrial loan
portfolios. The result of such an increase result could be reduced income, increased expenses, and less cash available for lending and other activities. Such an increase may have a material impact on the Companys financial condition and
results of operations, by reducing the Banks income, increasing the Companys expenses, and leaving less cash available for lending and other activities. Total nonperforming assets at December 31, 2007 increased $11.4 million or 296%
to $15.3 million, from $3.9 million at December 31, 2006, and represented 2.92% and 0.89% of total gross loans and other real estate owned, respectively. The increase was primarily attributable to the addition of four construction and
development loans totaling $10.0 million that were placed on non-accrual status during 2007, partially offset by the payoff of one commercial loan totaling $2.5 million. See Item 7, Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of OperationsNonperforming Assets. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company had no subprime mortgage loans.

As the primary collateral for many of the Companys loans rests on commercial real estate properties, deterioration in the real estate market in the areas the Company serves could reduce the value of the
collateral value for many of the Companys loans and negatively impact the repayment ability of many of its borrowers.



15



---

##### Table of Contents

Such deterioration would likely also reduce the amount of loans the Company makes to businesses in the construction and real estate industry, which could
negatively impact its business. Similarly, the occurrence of a natural disaster like those California has experienced in the past, including earthquakes, brush fires, and flooding, could impair the value of the collateral we hold for real estate
secured loans and negatively impact the Companys results of operations.

In addition, the banking regulators have begun to give
commercial real estate or CRE loans greater scrutiny, due to perceived risks relating to the cyclical nature of the real estate market and the related risks for lenders with high concentrations of such loans. The regulators may require
banks with higher levels of CRE loans to implement improved underwriting, internal controls, risk management policies and portfolio stress testing, and may possibly require higher levels of allowances for possible loan losses and capital levels as a
result of CRE lending growth and exposures. See Regulation and Supervision  Commercial Real Estate Lending and Concentrations above.

All of our lending involves underwriting risks, especially in a competitive lending market.

At December 31, 2007,
construction and development loans represented 46%, residential, commercial and multi-family loans represented 16% and commercial loans represented 35% of our total loan portfolio.

Commercial lending, even when secured by the assets of a business, involves considerable risk of loss in the event of failure of the business. To reduce
such risk, we typically take additional security interests in other collateral, such as real property, certificates of deposit or life insurance, and/or obtain personal guarantees.

Construction lending differs from other types of real estate lending because of uncertainties inherent in estimating construction costs, the length of
the construction period and the market for the project upon completion. Commercial mortgage lending entails risks of delays in leasing and excessive vacancy rates. All real estate secured lending involves risks that real estate values in general
will fall and that the value of the particular real estate security for a loan will fall. We seek to reduce our risk of loss through our underwriting and monitoring procedures.

We may experience loan losses in excess of our allowance for loan losses.

The risk of credit losses
on loans varies with, among other things, general economic conditions, the type of loan being made, the creditworthiness of the borrower over the term of the loan, and in the case of a collateralized loan, the value and marketability of the
collateral for the loan. We have adopted underwriting and credit monitoring procedures and credit policies, including the establishment and review of the allowance for credit losses, that Management believes are appropriate to minimize this risk by
assessing the likelihood of nonperformance, tracking loan performance and diversifying our credit portfolio. These policies and procedures, however, may not prevent unexpected losses that could have a material adverse effect on our results of
operations. Management maintains an allowance for loan losses based upon, among other things, historical experience, an evaluation of economic conditions and regular reviews of delinquencies and loan portfolio quality. Based upon such factors,
Management makes various assumptions and judgments about the ultimate collectibility of the loan portfolio and provides an allowance for loan losses based upon a percentage of the outstanding balances and for specific loans when their ultimate
collectibility is considered questionable.

As of December 31, 2007, our allowance for loan losses was approximately $6.8 million,
which represented 1.31% of outstanding loans, net of unearned income. Although Management believes that our allowance for loan losses is adequate, there can be no assurance that the allowance will prove sufficient to cover future loan losses.
Further, although Management uses the best information available to make determinations with respect to the allowance for loan losses, future adjustments may be necessary if economic conditions differ substantially from the assumptions used or
adverse developments arise with respect to the non-performing or performing loans. If Managements assumptions and judgments prove to be incorrect and the allowance for loan losses is inadequate

to absorb future losses, or if the bank regulatory authorities require us to increase our allowance for loan losses as a part of their examination process,
our earnings and potentially even our capital could be significantly and adversely affected. See Item 7, Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of OperationsAllowance for Loan Losses.

We may have difficulty managing our growth.

Our total assets have increased to $689.5 million as of December 31, 2007, from $551.1 million and $456.2 million as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The Company operates its main office and construction/real estate
loan production offices in downtown Redlands, California, a full-service branch, its Religious Lending Group and SBA/Commercial Lending Group in Brea, California, and its Homeowners Association and full branch in Escondido, California. The
Company also operates full-service branches in Palm Desert, Irwindale, and Temecula, California that opened in March 2003, February 2005 and August 2005, respectively.

Management intends to grow the Company internally by further establishing our existing branch offices and loan production offices. We intend to
investigate future opportunities to acquire or combine with additional financial institutions, however, no assurance can be provided that we will be able to identify additional suitable acquisition targets or consummate any such acquisition in the
future.

Our ability to manage growth will depend primarily on our ability to:



| |  |  | monitor and manage expanded operations;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------



| |  |  | control funding costs and operating expenses;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------



| |  |  | maintain positive customer relations; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------



| |  |  | attract, assimilate and retain qualified personnel.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------

If we fail to achieve these objectives in an efficient and timely manner we may experience disruptions in our business plans, and our financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

We may not be able to continue to attract and retain banking customers at current levels, and our efforts to compete may reduce our profitability.

Competition in the banking industry in the markets we serve may limit our ability to continue to attract and retain banking customers. The
banking business in our current and intended future market areas is highly competitive with respect to virtually all products and services. In California generally, and in our service areas specifically, branches of major banks dominate the
commercial banking industry. Such banks have substantially greater lending limits than we have, offer certain services we cannot offer directly, and often operate with economies of scale that result in lower operating costs than ours on
a per loan or per asset basis. We also compete with numerous financial and quasi-financial institutions for deposits and loans, including providers of financial services over the Internet. Ultimately, competition can and does increase our cost of
funds and drive down our net interest margin, thereby reducing profitability. It can also make it more difficult for us to continue to increase the size of our loan portfolio and deposit base, and could cause us to need to rely more heavily on
borrowings, which are generally more expensive than deposits, as a source of funds in the future. See Item 1, BusinessCompetition.

Our earnings are subject to interest rate risk, especially if rates fall.

Banking companies earnings depend largely
on the relationship between the cost of funds, primarily deposits and borrowings, and the yield on earning assets, such as loans and investment securities. This relationship, known as the interest rate spread, is subject to fluctuation and is
affected by the monetary policies of the Federal Reserve Board, the international interest rate environment, as well as by economic, regulatory and



17

##### Table of Contents

competitive factors which influence interest rates, the volume and mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, and the level of
nonperforming assets. Many of these factors are beyond our control. Fluctuations in interest rates affect the demand of customers for our products and services. We are subject to interest rate risk to the degree that our interest-bearing liabilities
reprice or mature more slowly or more rapidly or on a different basis than our interest-earning assets. Given our current volume and mix of interest-bearing liabilities and interest-earning assets, our interest rate spread could be expected to
increase during times of rising interest rates and, conversely, to decline during times of falling interest rates. Therefore, significant fluctuations in interest rates may have an adverse or a positive effect on our results of operations. See
Item 7, Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of OperationsMarket Rate Risk/Interest Rate Risk Management.

We do not expect to pay significant cash dividends in the future.

We believe the most effective use of our capital and
earnings is to finance our growth and operations. For this reason, we expect to retain all or the vast majority of our earnings rather than distribute them to shareholders in the form of dividends. However, we may consider cash distributions in the
form of cash dividends to shareholders in the future, although we do not currently expect any such dividends to be significant.

We are a
legal entity separate and distinct from our subsidiary. Substantially all of our revenue and cash flow, including funds available for the payment of dividends and other operating expenses, is dependent upon the payment of dividends to us by the
Bank. Dividends payable to us by the Bank are restricted under California and federal laws and regulations. See Item 5, Market for Registrants Common Equity, Related Shareholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity
SecuritiesDividends.

There is a limited public market for our stock, so you may not be able to sell your shares at the times and in the
amounts you want.

Our common stock is not listed on any exchange or on Nasdaq. Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin
Board, and there are a few securities brokers who are involved in trading our common stock; however, trading in our common stock has not been extensive and there can be no assurance that a more active trading market will develop in the foreseeable
future. As a result, while our common stock is not subject to any specific restrictions on transfer, you may have difficulty selling your shares of common stock at the times and in the amounts you may desire.

We depend on our executive officers and key personnel to implement our business strategy and could be harmed by the loss of their services.

We believe that our growth and future success will depend in large part upon the skills of our Management team. The competition for qualified personnel in
the financial services industry is intense, and the loss of our key personnel or an inability to continue to attract, retain or motivate key personnel could adversely affect our business. We cannot assure you that we will be able to retain our
existing key personnel or to attract additional qualified personnel.

Because of certain change in control provisions in employment and salary
continuation agreements, a change in control of our company or our management could be delayed or prevented.

Our Chief Financial
Officer and our Chief Operating Officer each have employment agreements that have 3-year terms beginning in December 2004 and expire in December 2007, with a 1-year renewal. The agreements expired in December 2007 and are currently under the 1-year
renewal provision. The employment agreements provide for severance payments if their respective employment arrangements are actually or constructively terminated or in connection with a change in control of the Company or its subsidiary. These same
two individuals, as well as three other officers of the Bank, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Credit Officer also have salary continuation agreements, which provide for accelerated vesting of all or a portion

of their annual retirement benefits under similar circumstances. These provisions may make it more expensive for another company to acquire us, which could
reduce the market price of our common stock and the price that you receive if you sell your shares in the future.

The Companys administrative

existing back office facilities are adequate to accommodate the Companys operations for the immediately foreseeable future, although administrative office expansion is planned.

The Company leases from unrelated parties, its Construction/Real Estate Loan production offices in downtown Redlands, California, its Religious Lending

Holders

As of December 31, 2007, there were approximately 569 shareholders of record of our common stock, approximately 100 of which are street name holders.

Dividends

As a bank holding company, which currently has no significant assets other than our equity
interest in the Bank, our ability to pay dividends depends primarily upon the dividends we receive from the Bank. The dividend practice of the Bank, like our dividend practice, will depend upon its earnings, financial position, current and
anticipated cash requirements and other factors deemed relevant by the Banks Board of Directors at that time.

The Banks
ability to pay cash dividends to us is also subject to certain legal limitations. Under California law, banks may declare a cash dividend out of their net profits up to the lesser of retained earnings or the net income for the last three fiscal
years (less any distributions made to Shareholders during such period), or with the prior written approval of the Commissioner of Financial Institutions, in an amount not exceeding the greatest of (i) the retained earnings of the bank,
(ii) the net income of the bank for its last fiscal year, or (iii) the net income of the bank for its current fiscal year. In addition, under federal law, banks are prohibited from paying any dividends if after making such payment they
would fail to meet any of the minimum regulatory capital requirements. The federal regulators also have the authority to prohibit banks from engaging in any business practices which are considered to be unsafe or unsound, and in some circumstances
the regulators might prohibit the payment of dividends on that basis even though such payments would otherwise be permissible.

##### Table of Contents

Our ability to pay dividends is also limited by state corporation law. The California General Corporation
Law allows us to pay dividends to our shareholders if our retained earnings equal at least the amount of the proposed dividend. If we do not have sufficient retained earnings available for the proposed dividend, we may still pay a dividend to our
shareholders if we meet two conditions after giving effect to the dividend but it is extremely unlikely that we would ever meet those conditions. In addition, during any period in which the Company has deferred payment of interest otherwise due and
payable on its subordinated debt securities, we may not make any dividends or distributions with respect to our capital stock. See Item 7, Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of OperationsCapital
Resources.

Shareholders are entitled to receive dividends only when and if declared by our Board of Directors. Although we paid cash
dividends in 2000 and 2001, we have no intention to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Instead, we intend to retain our earnings for the purpose of supporting our future growth. However, since 1998 we have paid eight stock dividends or
distributions to our shareholders, including 50% stock distributions in May 2007 and April 2006.

The table below sets forth information
concerning all dividends paid since 1998. Dividends paid in 2000 through 2007 were paid by the Company, and dividends paid prior to 2000 were paid by the Bank.

On September 21, 2007, the Companys Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program pursuant to which the Company may purchase up to $3 million in its common stock in open market
transactions. The repurchase program is to continue for a period of 12 months.

|ITEM 7. | MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
|------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This discussion presents Managements analysis of the results of operations of the Company for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2006 and 2007
and the financial condition of the Company as of December 31, 2006 and 2007. This discussion also includes the statistical disclosures required by SEC Guide 3 (Statistical Disclosure by Company Holding Companies.) The discussion
should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Company and the notes related thereto which appear elsewhere in this Form 10-K Annual Report (see Item 8 below).

Statements contained in this report that are not purely historical are forward looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as amended, including our expectations, intentions, beliefs, or strategies regarding the future. All forward-looking statements concerning economic conditions, rates of growth, rates of income or values as may be
included in this document are based on information available to us on the date noted, and we assume no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements. It is important to note that our actual results could materially differ from those in
such forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in such forward-looking statements are fluctuations in interest rates, inflation, government regulations, local, regional and national economic
conditions, customer disintermediation and competitive product and pricing pressures in the geographic and business areas in which we conduct our operations. Segment reporting is not presented since the Companys revenue is attributed to a
single reportable segment.

Critical Accounting Policies

The Companys financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The financial information contained within these statements is, to a significant
extent, based on approximate measures of the financial effects of transactions and events that have already occurred. Based on its consideration of accounting policies that involve the most complex and subjective decisions and assessments,
Management has identified its most critical accounting policy to be that related to the allowance for loan losses. The Companys allowance for loan loss methodologies incorporate a variety of risk considerations, both quantitative and
qualitative, in establishing an allowance for loan loss that Management believes is appropriate at each reporting date.

Quantitative
factors include our historical loss experience, delinquency and charge-off trends, collateral values, changes in nonperforming loans, and other factors. Quantitative factors also incorporate known information about individual loans, including
borrowers sensitivity to interest rate movements and borrowers sensitivity to quantifiable external factors including commodity and finished good prices as well as acts of nature (earthquakes, floods, fires, etc.) that occur in a
particular period.

Qualitative factors include the general economic environment in our markets, including economic conditions in Southern
California and in particular, the state of certain industries. Size and complexity of individual credits in relation to lending officers background and experience levels, loan structure, extent and nature of waivers of existing loan policies
and pace of portfolio growth are other qualitative factors that are considered in our methodologies.

This discussion and analysis should
be read in conjunction with the Companys consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes presented elsewhere herein, as well as the portion of this Managements Discussion and Analysis section entitled Financial
ConditionAllowance for Loan Losses. Although Management believes the level of the allowance as of December 31, 2007 is adequate to absorb losses inherent in the loan portfolio, a decline in the regional economy may result in
increasing losses that cannot reasonably be predicted at this time.

Summary of Performance

Results of operations summary

The Company achieved record earnings in 2007. In fact, net income has increased each
year since the Company incorporated in 1999. Net income in 2007 was $7.889 million, an increase of $462,000, or 6%, over the $7.427 million in net earnings recognized in 2006. Net income in 2006 of $7.427 million represented an increase of $2.344
million, or 46%, over the $5.083 million in net earnings recognized in 2005.

Net income per basic share was $1.63 for 2007, as compared to
$1.55 for 2006 and $1.08 for 2005. On a diluted net income per share basis, net income was $1.51, $1.41 and $1.01 for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Earnings per share calculations were adjusted to give
retroactive effect to stock splits and dividends. Return on average assets was 1.29% for 2007, compared to 1.49% for 2006 and 1.22% for 2005. Return on average shareholders equity was 16.78% for 2007, compared to 19.54% for 2006 and 16.77% for
2005.

The following are noteworthy factors relevant to the Companys results of operations for the most recent three years:



| |  |  | Net interest income was a significant contributor to the increase in net income in 2007. Net interest income grew by $1.4 million, or 5%, in 2007 relative to
2006. Average loans grew by $60.5 million, or 15%, primarily due to the continued success of our business development efforts in and around the marketplaces we serve. In 2006 net interest income grew by $2.2 million, or 8%, primarily as a result of
the Banks loan growth.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The Companys net interest margin as of December 31, 2007 was 5.14% compared to 6.07% for the same period in 2006. The increase in rates paid for
money market deposits and time deposits, coupled with the increase in the average balance on these liabilities were the major contributors toward compressing our net interest margin. The percentage of total average interest-bearing deposits
represented by time deposits increased to 44% from 35% from December 31, 2006 to December 31, 2007. The shift in this average deposit mix also contributed to the reduction of the net interest margin in 2007 versus 2006.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The provision for loan losses increased 78%.For the year ended December 31, 2007, the provision for loan losses was $2.350 million, compared to $1.320
million and $2.140 million for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The allowance for loan losses as of December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 was 1.31%, 1.33% and 1.39%, respectively, of total gross loans net of unearned
income. The provision for 2007 and 2006 was in response to loan growth and the level of nonaccrual loans. During 2007, nonaccrual loans increased $6.9 million or 178% when compared to $3.9 million as of December 31, 2006. During 2006,
nonaccrual loans increased $2.9 million or 288% when compared to $994,000 as of December 31, 2005.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Noninterest income increased by 25% in 2007.The increase in noninterest income was primarily attributable to the increase in conduit loan referral income of
$583,000 or 85% as a result of more referrals during 2007 as compared to the same period in 2006. Gains from the sale of SBA loans increased $75,000 or 20% which resulted from more loans sold during 2007, when compared to 2006. Also as a result of
the Companys growth, other miscellaneous income increased by $59,000 or 92% during 2007, when compared to the same period in 2006. In 2006, noninterest income decreased 29%, primarily due to the decrease in gains from the sale of SBA loans of
$1.021 million as a result of unanticipated personnel changes in the SBA department, which resulted in a temporary decrease in SBA loans sold during 2006 as compared to the same period in 2005, and the decrease of $288,000 in conduit loan referral
income was primarily the result of less income associated with loan referral activity during 2006 as compared to the same period in 2005.

| |  |  | Noninterest expense increased by 5% in 2007.The increase in noninterest expense was primarily due to the increase of $873,000 or 9% in salaries and employee
benefits. Staff was increased during 2007 to provide resources in order to maintain satisfactory customer service in growth areas, and to enhance business development activities in certain markets. In 2006, the Company updated and redesigned its
Loan Production Commissions and Incentives Policy. As a result, commissions and incentives expense decreased $1.284 million. Also, in 2006, the Company changed its internal credit policy relating to loan origination costs. As a result, in 2006 the
Company recorded $2.2 million in deferred loan costs reducing salary expense. These decreases were offset by increases in base salaries of $895,000 and stock option compensation cost of $533,000 due to the adoption of FASB 123R.

Financial condition summary

The Companys total assets were $689.5 million at December 31, 2007, an increase of $138.4 million, or 25%, compared to total assets of $551.1 million at December 31, 2006. The following are important
factors in understanding our financial condition:



| |  |  | Investment securities available for sale increased by $53.5 million or 74%.During the third quarter of 2007, the Company entered into a $45.1 million
repurchase agreement that included an interest rate floor to mitigate interest rate risk in a declining rate environment. The repurchase agreement was collateralized by the purchase of three federal agency mortgage-backed securities totaling $48.6
million. In addition, obligations of states and local government securities increased $1.4 million as the Company took advantage of relative value in that sector.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Net loans increased by $88.4 million or 21% from December 31, 2006.Strong loan demand in the Companys market areas contributed to the increase in
net loans.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Interest-bearing deposits increased by $22.5 million or 7% from December 31, 2006. The increase in interest-bearing deposits was primarily the result of
the Companys continued emphasis to attract new customers.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Borrowings from Federal Home Loan Bank.At December 31, 2007 the Company had borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) totaling
$64.5 million compared to no borrowings at December 31, 2006. The Company allowed brokered certificates of deposit to run off and replaced with less expensive Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Nonperforming assets increased by $11.4 million or 296% from December 31, 2006.The increase was primarily attributable to the addition of four
construction and development loans totaling $10.0 million that were placed on non-accrual status during 2007, partially offset by the payoff of one commercial loan totaling $2.5 million. Loans 90 days past due increased $2.2 million and are
primarily attributed to one commercial real estate loan totaling $1.2 million and two commercial loans totaling $956,000.In addition, $2.3 million was transferred to other real estate owned.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Stock Repurchase Program. On September 21, 2007 the Board of Directors of the Company approved a plan to incrementally repurchase up to an aggregate of
$3.0 million of the Companys common stock. See item 5 above (Stock Repurchases).

Results of Operations

The Company earns income from two primary sources. The first is net interest income, which is interest income generated by
interest-earning assets less interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities. The second is noninterest income, which primarily consists of customer service fees but also comes from non-customer sources such as loan sales, bank-owned life
insurance, and other income. The majority of the Companys noninterest expenses are operating costs that relate to providing a full range of banking services to our customers.

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

The principal component of the Companys earnings is net interest income, which is the difference between the interest and fees earned on loans and
investments, and the interest paid on deposits and borrowed funds. When net interest income is expressed as a percentage of average earning assets, the result is the net interest margin. The net interest spread is the yield on average earning assets
minus the average cost of interest-bearing deposits and borrowed funds. The Companys net interest income, interest spread, and net interest margin are sensitive to general business and economic conditions. These conditions include short-term
and long-term interest rates, inflation, monetary supply, and the strength of the economy, and the local economies in which the Company conducts business.

The net interest margin measures net interest income as a percentage of average earning assets. The net interest margin can be affected by changes in the yield on earning assets and the cost of interest-bearing
liabilities, as well as changes in the level of interest-bearing liabilities in proportion to earning assets. The net interest margin can also be affected by changes in the mix of earning assets as well as the mix of interest-bearing liabilities.

2007 compared to 2006 analysis. The Companys net interest margin for the year ended December 31, 2007 was 5.14% compared
to 6.07% for the same period in 2006. The increase in rates paid for money market deposits and time deposits, coupled with the fact that these categories increased as a percentage of total deposits were the major contributors toward compressing our
net interest margin. The percentage of total average interest-bearing deposits represented by time deposits increased to 44% from 35% from December 31, 2006 to December 31, 2007. The shift in this average deposit mix also contributed to
the reduction of the net interest margin in 2007 when compared to 2006.

For the year ended December 31, 2007, total interest-earning
assets averaged $577.8 million, which represented an increase of $111.5 million or 24%, as compared to $466.3 million for the same period in 2006. This increase is primarily attributable to the increase in loans as a result of loan demand, coupled
with the purchase of a $30 million FNMA U.S. agency security that settled during September of 2006 and the purchase of three federal agency mortgage-backed securities totaling $48.6 million that settled during July of 2007. Total interest-bearing
deposits and other interest-bearing liabilities averaged $452.8 million, which represented an increase of $104.5 million or 30%, as compared to $348.3 million for the same period in 2006. This increase is primarily attributable to the increase in
money market and time deposits, coupled with the increase of $40.3 million in the average balance of repurchase agreements.

The Company
reported total interest income of $49.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2007, which represented an increase of $8.4 million or 21%, over total interest income of $40.8 million for the same period in 2006. The increase for the year ended
December 31, 2007, when compared to the same period in 2006 is primarily the result of increases in interest and fees on loans of approximately $5.6 million that resulted from an increase of $60.5 million in average loans, coupled with the
increase of $2.9 million in interest income on taxable investments that resulted in part from the addition of the $45.1 million in federal agency mortgage backed securities that settled during the third quarter of 2007.

The Company reported total interest expense of $19.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2007, which represented an increase of $7.1 million or
57%, over total interest expense of $12.4 million for the same period in 2006. The increase is primarily attributable to an increase in the average balance of time deposits, coupled with the increase in the average balance of repurchase agreements
and Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings.

For the year ended December 31, 2007, net interest income before provision for loan losses was
$29.7 million, which represented an increase of $1.4 million or 5%, over net interest income before provision for loan losses of $28.3 million for the same period in 2006. The increase in net interest income for the year ended 2007 as compared to
2006 was primarily due to the increase in average total loans.

2006 compared to 2005 analysis. The Companys net interest margin as of December 31,
2006 was 6.07% compared to 6.69% for the same period in 2005. The increase in rates paid for money market deposits, time deposits and the addition of our repurchase agreement, coupled with the increase in the average balance on these liabilities,
were the major contributors toward compressing our net interest margin. Loan fee income decreased in 2006 a result of the change in the Companys internal credit policy relating to loan origination cost. The decrease in loan fees also
contributed to the reduction in the net interest margin. The reduction in loan fees was offset by a reduction in salary expense. See Noninterest Expense below. From December 31, 2005 to December 31, 2006 the percentage of total
average deposits represented by money market deposits increased to 37% from 29%. The shift in this average deposit mix also contributed to the reduction of the net interest margin in 2006 versus 2005.

For the year ended December 31, 2006, total interest-earning assets averaged $466.3 million, which represented an increase of $75.8 million or 19%,
as compared to $390.5 million for the same period in 2005. This increase was primarily attributable to the increase in loans as a result of our strong business climate and loan demand, coupled with an increase in federal funds sold as a result of
the Companys improved liquidity position. Total interest-bearing deposits and other interest-bearing liabilities averaged $348.3 million, which represented an increase of $69.4 million or 25%, as compared to $278.9 million for the same period
in 2005. This increase is primarily attributable to the increase in money market deposit and time deposit accounts. There were no Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings outstanding during 2006 compared to an average of $22.3 million for the year ended
December 31, 2005.

The Company reported total interest income of $40.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2006, which
represented an increase of $7.5 million or 23%, over total interest income of $33.2 million for the same period in 2005. The increase is primarily the result of increases in interest and fees on loans of approximately $6.0 million that resulted from
an increase of $49.2 million in average loans as of December 31, 2006, as compared to the same period in 2005.

The Company reported
total interest expense of $12.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2006, which represented an increase of $5.4 million or 76%, over total interest expense of $7.0 million for the same period in 2005. This increase is primarily attributable
to an increase in the average balance of money market deposit and time deposit accounts.

For the year ended December 31, 2006, net
interest income before provision for loan losses was $28.3 million, which represented an increase of $2.2 million or 8%, over net interest income before provision for loan losses of $26.1 million for the same period in 2005. The increase in net
interest income for the year ended December 31, 2006 as compared to 2005 was primarily due to the increase in average total loans.

Provision for Loan Losses

Credit risk is inherent in the business of making loans. The Company sets aside an allowance or reserve for loan losses through charges to earnings,
which are shown in the income statement as the provision for loan losses. Specifically identifiable and quantifiable losses are immediately charged off against the allowance. The loan loss provision is determined by conducting a monthly evaluation
of the adequacy of the Companys allowance for loan losses, and charging the shortfall, if any, to the current months expense. This has the effect of creating variability in the amount and frequency of charges to the Companys
earnings.

For the year ended December 31, 2007, the provision for loan losses was $2.350 million, compared to $1.320 million and
$2.140 million for 2006 and 2005, respectively. The allowance for loan losses to total gross loans less unearned income as of December 31, 2007 was 1.31%. The provision for 2007 and 2006 was in response to loan growth and the level of
nonaccrual loans. During 2007, nonaccrual loans increased $6.9 million or 178% when compared to $3.9 million as of December 31, 2006. During 2006, nonaccrual loans increased $2.9 million or 288% when compared to $994,000 as of December 31,
2005. For a more detailed discussion on nonaccrual loans see Nonperforming Assets below.

Our analysis of the allowance for loan losses showed these amounts to be adequate given the risk of the
loan portfolio. The procedures for monitoring the adequacy of the allowance, as well as detailed information concerning the allowance itself, are included below under Allowance for Loan Losses.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income for the
Company includes customer service fees, gains from sale of loans, increases in the cash surrender value of life insurance policies, broker fee income, conduit loan referral income and other miscellaneous income. The revenue from conduit loan
referral income is referral or brokerage fee income. The loans are never recorded on the Companys books; therefore, the recognized income is not recorded as gain on the sale of loans. The loans are packaged and referred to other lenders. The
Company recognizes noninterest income as a result of the referral.

2007 compared to 2006 analysis. Noninterest income totaled $4.2
million for the year ended December 31, 2007. This represented an increase of $837,000 or 25% when compared to $3.4 million for the same period in 2006.

The increase in noninterest income was primarily attributable to the increase in conduit loan referral income of $583,000 or 85% as a result of more referrals during 2007 as compared to the same period in 2006. Gains
from the sale of SBA loans increased $75,000 or 20% which resulted from more loans sold during 2007, when compared to 2006. Also as a result of the Companys growth, other miscellaneous income increased by $59,000 or 92% during 2007, when
compared to the same period in 2006.

For the year ended December 31, 2007 as compared to 2006, noninterest income as an annualized
percentage of average earning decreased to 0.73% from 0.75%.

2006 compared to 2005 analysis. Noninterest income totaled $3.371
million for the year ended December 31, 2006. This represented a decrease of $1.360 million, or 29% when compared to $4.731 million for the same period in 2005.

The decrease in noninterest income was attributable to the decrease in gains from the sale of SBA loans of $1.021 million as a result of unanticipated personnel changes in the SBA department, which resulted in a
temporary decrease in SBA loans sold during 2006 as compared to the same period in 2005. The decrease of $288,000 in conduit loan referral income was primarily the result of less income associated with loan referral volume during 2006 as compared to
the same period in 2005.

For the year ended December 31, 2006 as compared to 2005, noninterest income as a percentage of average
earning assets decreased to 0.75% from 1.21% primarily due to the decreases in gains from sale of loans and conduit loan referral income discussed above.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense for the Company includes salaries and employee benefits, net occupancy and equipment expense, marketing expense, data processing and professional fees, and other operating expenses.

2007 compared to 2006 analysis. Noninterest expense totaled $18.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2007. This represented an increase
of $833,000 or 5% when compared to $18.1 million for the same period in 2006. The increase in noninterest expense was primarily due to the increase of $873,000 or 9% in salaries and employee benefits. Staff was increased during 2007 to provide
resources in order to maintain satisfactory customer service in growth areas, and to enhance business development activities in certain markets.

For the year ended December 31, 2007 as compared to 2006, noninterest expense as an annualized percentage of average earning assets decreased to 3.28% from 4.03%. This decrease is reflective of Managements continuing efforts to
control overhead expenses and improve operating efficiency.

2006 compared to 2005 analysis. Noninterest expense totaled $18.107
million for the year ended December 31, 2006. This represented a decrease of $2.281 million, or 11% when compared to $20.388 million for the same period in 2005. The decrease in noninterest expense was primarily due to decreases of $1.748
million and $278,000 in salaries and employee benefits and marketing and advertising, respectively.

During the first quarter of 2006, the
Company updated and redesigned its Loan Production Commissions and Incentives Policy. As a result, commissions and incentives expense decreased $1.284 million. This decline was expected due to this Policy change. Also, during the first quarter of
2006, the Company changed its internal credit policy relating to loan origination cost. As a result, in 2006 the Company recorded $2.2 million in deferred loan costs reducing salary expense. The decline was expected due to this Policy change. These
decreases were offset by increases in base salaries of $895,000 and stock option compensation cost of $533,000 due to the adoption of FASB 123R. In 2005, the Company launched a money market campaign by print advertising targeting our market areas.
In 2006 advertising expenses related to this campaign decreased significantly. This is the primary reason for the $278,000 decrease in marketing and advertising expense.

##### Table of Contents

For the year ended December 31, 2006 as compared to 2005, noninterest expense as a percentage of
average earning assets decreased to 4.03% from 5.22%. This decrease is reflective of Managements continuing efforts to control overhead expenses.

While some level of expense increase is expected in the normal course of business, we are focused on controlling overhead expenses where possible. Improvement is evident in the Companys efficiency ratio, which
dropped to 55.05% in 2007 from 56.77% in 2006 and 65.86% for 2005.

The following table sets forth the breakdown of noninterest expense for
the periods indicated:

Income Taxes

In 2007 the Companys provision for federal and state income taxes was $4.7 million, while the provision was $4.8 million and $3.3 million for 2006 and 2005, respectively. This equates to 39.3% of income before
taxes in 2007, 39.4% in 2006, and 39.1% in 2005. The amount of the tax provision is determined by applying the Companys statutory income tax rates to pre-tax book income, adjusted for permanent differences between pre-tax book income and
actual taxable income. Such permanent differences include but are not limited to tax-exempt interest income, increases in the cash surrender value of bank-owned life insurance, compensation expense on incentive stock options and certain other
expenses that are not allowed as tax deductions, and tax credits.

Financial Condition

A comparison between the summary year-end balance sheets for 2003 through 2007 was presented previously in the table of Selected Financial Data (see
Item 6 above). As indicated in that table, the Companys total assets, loans, and shareholders equity have grown each year for the past four years. In 2007 total assets increased $138.4 million, or 25%, due primarily to the increase
in available for sale investment securities and loan growth. Total assets were $689.5 million and $551.1 million at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The major components of the Companys balance sheet are individually analyzed
below, along with off-balance sheet information.

Loans

Total gross loans were $522.2 million at December 31, 2007, compared to $433.3 million and $388.5 million at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Total gross loans less unearned income represented 76% of total assets at
December 31, 2007, compared to 78% and 85% of total assets at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

2007 compared to 2006
analysis. Total gross loans increased by $88.9 million, or 21% during 2007. Real estate loans, which includes construction and development loans increased $68.5 million or 27% during 2007 and represented approximately 77% of the total loan
growth of $88.9 million. Due to the current environment, it is anticipated that the Company will not experience its historical growth in construction and development loans. Commercial loans increased $15.7 million or 9% during 2007 due to the
continued success of our business development efforts in and around the marketplaces the Company serves.

2006 compared to 2005
analysis. Total gross loans increased by $44.8 million, or 12% during 2006. Real estate loans, which includes construction and development loans increased $28.8 million or 13% during 2006 and represented approximately 64% of the total loan
growth of $44.8 million. Commercial loans increased $14.6 million or 10% during 2006.

Loans Held For Sale

The Company actively generates SBA loans as part of its primary operating activity of making loans. The guaranteed portion of each individual loan is sold
on the secondary market simultaneously with the booking, and therefore the Company has no inventory held for sale, unlike some institutions that warehouse loans to sell as pools. The Company retains the unguaranteed portion
of the SBA loans. The total gain on sale of loans was $448,000 or 0.84% of total interest and noninterest income as of December 31, 2007 and $373,000 or 0.85% of total interest and noninterest income as of December 31, 2006.

Loans held for sale are sold with servicing rights retained by the Bank. To calculate the gain on sale of a loan, the Banks investment in the loan
is allocated among the retained portion of the loan, the servicing asset, the interest-only strip and the sold portion of the loan, based on the relative fair market value of each portion. The gain on the sold portion of the loan is recognized at
the time of sale based on the difference between the sale proceeds and the allocated investment. As a result of the relative fair value allocation, the carrying value of the retained portion of the loan is discounted, with the discount accreted to
interest income over the life of the loan. The portion of the loan servicing fee in excess of estimated servicing costs gives rise to a servicing asset that is amortized over an estimated life using a method approximating the interest method. In the
event future prepayments exceed Managements estimates and future expected cash flows are inadequate to cover the unamortized servicing asset, additional amortization would be recognized. The portion of the loan servicing fees in excess of the
contractual servicing fee gives rise to an interest-only (I/0) strip, which is amortized over the life of the sold loan.

Loan Interest Rate Sensitivity. The following table provides the maturity distribution and
repricing intervals of the Companys outstanding loans at the date indicated. In addition, the table provides the distribution of such loans between those with variable or (floating) interest rates and those with predetermined or (fixed)
interest rates. Floating rate loans are classified according to re-pricing opportunities or rate sensitivity. Fixed rate loans are based on contractual maturities although the borrowers have the ability to prepay the loans.

##### Table of Contents

For a comprehensive discussion of the Companys liquidity position, re-pricing characteristics of
the balance sheet, and sensitivity to changes in interest rates, see the Liquidity and Market Risk Management section.

Off-Balance Sheet
Arrangements

During the ordinary course of business, the Company will provide various forms of credit lines to meet the financing needs
of its customers. Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to customers, provided there is no violation of any conditions established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may
require payment of a fee. Commitments are generally variable rate, and many of these commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon. As such, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The
Companys exposure to credit losses is represented by the contractual amount of these commitments. The Company uses the same credit underwriting policies in granting or accepting such commitments as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments,
which consist of evaluating customers creditworthiness individually.

Standby letters of credit written are conditional commitments
issued by the Company to guarantee the financial performance of a customer to a third party. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support private borrowing arrangements. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the
same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. When deemed necessary, the Company holds appropriate collateral supporting those commitments. Management does not anticipate any material losses as a result of these transactions.

Total unused commitments to extend credit were $200.2 million at December 31, 2007 and $226.3 million at December 31, 2006,
representing 38% and 52% of outstanding gross loans at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The Companys standby letters of credit were $10.2 million and $3.2 million at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

The effects on the Companys revenues, expenses, cash flows and liquidity from the unused portions of the commitments to provide credit cannot be
reasonably predicted, because there is no guarantee that the lines of credit or standby letters of credit will ever be used.

For more
information regarding the Companys off-balance sheet arrangements, see Note 13 to the financial statements in Item 8 herein.

Nonperforming
Assets

Nonperforming assets include loans for which interest is no longer accruing, loans 90 or more days past due and still accruing,
restructured loans and other real estate owned.

The Companys policy is to recognize interest income on an accrual basis unless the
full collectibility of principal and interest is uncertain. Loans that are delinquent 90 days or more, unless well secured and in the process of collection, are placed on nonaccrual status and on a cash basis, and previously accrued but uncollected
interest is reversed against current income. Thereafter, income is recognized only as it is collected in cash. Collectibility is determined by considering the borrowers financial condition, cash flow, quality of management, the existence of
collateral or guarantees and the state of the local economy. The Company establishes a plan with each borrower that falls into nonaccrual status that is based on receiving payments, however, it is uncertain whether such a plan will prove to be
successful.

December 31, 2006 to December 31, 2007 analysis. Nonperforming assets at December 31, 2007 increased
$11.4 million or 296% to $15.3 million, from $3.9 million at December 31, 2006, and represented 2.92% and 0.89% of total gross loans and other real estate owned, respectively. The increase was primarily attributable to the addition of four
construction and development loans totaling $10.0 million that were placed on non-accrual status during 2007, partially offset by the payoff of one commercial loan totaling $2.5 million.

Of the $10.0 million addition in construction and development loans, $3.5 million represents a 28 single
family tract. A notice of sale has been filed on the project with an anticipated sale date in February 2008. $2.5 million represents a 6 single family tract and a notice of default has been filed on the project. Another $2.5 million represents 17
single family homes of a 92 lot tract, and $1.5 million represents 5 single family homes of a 14 lot tract. As market conditions change, the Company obtains current appraisals and adjusts the value of the loans as needed. As of December 31,
2007 the current market values on these projects support the recorded values of the loans.

Loans 90 days past due increased $2.2 million
and are primarily attributed to one commercial real estate loan totaling $1.2 million and two commercial loans totaling $956,000.

Other
real estate owned is recorded at the fair value of the property at the time of acquisition. Fair value is based on current appraisals less estimated selling costs. The excess of the recorded loan balance over the estimated fair value of the property
at the time of acquisition is charged to the allowance for loan losses. Any subsequent write downs are charged to noninterest expense and recognized as a valuation allowance. Subsequent increases in the fair value of the asset less selling costs
reduce the valuation allowance, but not below zero, and are credited to noninterest expense. Operating expenses of such properties and gains and losses on their disposition are included in noninterest income and expense.

In February 2007, the Company acquired through foreclosure the underlying real property collateralizing a commercial loan of $617,000. To acquire the
property, the Company assumed senior debt of approximately $769,000. The transaction resulted in the Company charging off $446,000 against the allowance for loan losses that represented the difference between the total debt outstanding on the
property less its fair value net of selling cost.

In August 2007, the Company acquired through foreclosure the underlying real property
collateralizing a construction and development loan of $139,000. To acquire the property, the Company capitalized $7,000 in costs associated with the acquisition, however, there was no charge against the allowance for loan losses.

In October 2007, the Company acquired through foreclosure the underlying real property collateralizing a construction and development loan of $1.2
million. To acquire the property, the Company capitalized $77,000 in costs associated with the acquisition, however, there was no charge against the allowance for loan losses.

December 31, 2005 to December 31, 2006 analysis. Nonaccrual loans at December 31, 2006 increased $2.9 million or 288% to $3.9
million, from $994,000 at December 31, 2005, and represented 0.89% and 0.26% of total gross loans, respectively. The increase was primarily attributable to the addition of five commercial loans totaling $3.5 million, of which $2.5 million was
attributed to one commercial loan. There was also an addition of one residential real estate loan totaling $18,000. The additions were partially offset by the payoff of three commercial loans totaling $330,000. There were two commercial loans
charged-off totaling $119,000 and three commercial loans with principal paydowns totaling $174,000. At December 31, 2006 the Company had no other real estate owned and no loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing.

Allowance For Loan Losses

Arriving at an appropriate level of an allowance for loan losses involves a high degree of judgment. Our allowance for loan losses provides for probable losses based upon an evaluation of known and inherent risks in
the loan portfolio. The determination of the balance in the allowance for loan losses is based on an analysis of the loans receivable portfolio using a systematic methodology that reflects an amount that, in our judgment, is adequate to provide for
probable loan losses inherent in the portfolio.

The allowance for loan losses totaled $6.8 million at December 31, 2007 compared to
$5.7 million and $5.4 million at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively and as a percentage of total loans outstanding was 1.31%, 1.33% and 1.39%, respectively. The process for monitoring the adequacy of the allowance, as well as supporting
documentation regarding the allowance follows.

In originating loans, the Company recognizes that credit losses will be experienced and
that the risk of loss will vary with the type of loan being made and a number of other factors, including collateral and the creditworthiness of the borrower over the term of the loan. It is Managements policy to maintain an adequate allowance
for loan losses based on a number of factors, including the Companys loan loss experience, economic conditions, and regular reviews of delinquencies and loan portfolio quality.

The Company establishes an Allowance for Loan Losses (ALL) through charges to earnings based on Managements evaluation of the loan
portfolio and a number of other criteria. If warranted, the allowance may be increased by regular provisions in order to maintain a proper relationship to the aggregate funded and unfunded loan portfolio. The provision may be influenced by the
amount of charge-offs and/or recoveries. The adequacy of the ALL is determined by a number of factors that are included in the Companys ALL methodology.

Two primary forms of analysis are used as tools to determine the adequacy of the ALL. The Portfolio Risk Analysis takes into consideration key components of the aggregate loan portfolio and selected risk weight
factors are used based on the perceived risk associated with each loan category. Heavier weight factors are assigned to delinquent loans and adversely risk rated loans. Adversely classified loans (loans rated special mention, substandard and
doubtful) are assessed for the proper amount to be used in determining the adequacy of the ALL. The other categories have formulae used to determine the needed allowance amount. Special circumstances are identified and a selected risk factor
prescribed to allocate an appropriate portion of the reserve to mitigate that specific risk. For example, because of the high concentration of construction loans, a construction concentration risk has been established as one of the components
of the ALL methodology.

Another analytical tool used is a Migration Analysis. This tool tracks loan losses and recoveries over
reasonable time horizons to determine a level of ALL based on historical loss history by loan category. This methodology is structured such that the amount allocated to the reserve is based on analysis of historical losses or other risk weight
factors consistent with those utilized in the Portfolio Risk Analysis. This approach attempts to prevent an unreasonably low reserve level in the event actual loan loss history is low.

Other factors considered in the ALL methodology include the following: quality and scope of lending policies and procedures, national and local economic
conditions, peer bank data, concentration or other special circumstances, and overall quality of the loan portfolio, determined by quality of underwriting, level of loan delinquencies, non-accrual loans, and non-performing loans. An important
indicator is the risk rating quality of the aggregate loan portfolio. The Company conducts semi-annual risk rating certifications in order to maintain the integrity of the risk rating process. The risk ratings are stratified by loan type and
according to risk rating.

The aggregate loan portfolio risk ratings were stratified as follows for the period indicated:

For the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, the Company had net charge-offs of $1.286
million, $955,000 and $901,000, respectively. Implicit in lending activity is the risk that losses will occur and that the amount of such loss will vary over time. In many cases Management exercises considerable judgment in determining the timing of
the recognition of inherent losses with the objective to present a realistic presentation of the quality of the loan portfolio.

Except for
nonperforming assets and impaired loans, Management is not aware of any loans as of December 31, 2007 for which known credit problems of the borrower would cause serious doubt as to the ability of such borrowers to comply with their present
loan repayment terms. Management cannot, however, predict the extent to which the deterioration in general economic conditions, real estate values, increase in general rates of interest, changing financial conditions or business of a borrower may
adversely affect a borrowers ability to repay. The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to total loans was determined by Management to be adequate at December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005.

The Company also had investments in interest-bearing time certificates of deposit at other financial
institutions totaling $1.9 million, $2.9 million and $2.3 million at December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Cash and due from banks

Cash on hand and balances due from correspondent banks totaled $11.1 million at the end of 2007 and $18.4 million at the end of 2006. At
December 31, 2007, cash and due from banks comprised 1.6% of total assets, compared to 3.3% at December 31, 2006. These balances fluctuate frequently and by large amounts depending on the status of cash items in process of collection and
cash on hand, thus period-end balances are not optimal indicators of trends in cash and due from banks. Annual average balances provide a much more appropriate gauge. The average balances for 2007 and 2006 were $12.1 million and $12.2 million,
respectively.

Deposits

Information
concerning the average balance and average rates paid on deposits by deposit type for the past three fiscal years is contained in the Distribution, Rate, and Yield table located in the previous section on Results of OperationsNet Interest
Income and Net Interest Margin. The composition and cost of the Companys deposit base are important components in analyzing the Companys net interest margin and balance sheet liquidity characteristics, both of which are discussed in
greater detail in other sections herein. The Companys liquidity is impacted by the volatility of deposits or other funding instruments, or in other words by the tendency of that money to leave the institution for rate-related or other reasons.
Potentially, the most volatile deposits in a financial institution are jumbo certificates of deposits, meaning time deposits with balances that equal or exceed $100,000, as customers with balances of that magnitude are typically more rate-sensitive
than customers with smaller balances. The Companys community-oriented deposit gathering activities, however, seem to have gathered a base of local customers who tend to display more brand loyalty and thus are less likely to leave the Company
than might otherwise be expected.

Total deposits were $478.0 million at December 31, 2007, compared to $456.5 million and $401.3
million at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and represented increases of 5% and 14% in 2007 and 2006, respectively.

2007
compared to 2006 analysis. Total deposits increased $21.5 million, or 5%, to $478.0 million at December 31, 2007 from $456.5 million at December 31, 2006. Noninterest-bearing demand deposits decreased $1.0 million or 1% at
December 31, 2007 as compared to December 31, 2006. Interest bearing demand deposits decreased $8.9 million or 36%, while money market deposit accounts increased $36.9 million, or 24% at December 31, 2007 as compared to
December 31, 2006. Savings deposit accounts decreased $6.0 million or 33% at December 31, 2007 as compared to December 31, 2006. Time deposits of $100,000 or greater increased $18.8 million, or 25% at December 31, 2007 as
compared to December 31, 2006, and other time deposits decreased $18.3 million, or 25%.

The increase in money market deposit accounts
was primarily the result of the Companys efforts to attract new customers. The decrease in other time deposits was primarily the result of the Company allowing brokered certificates of deposit to run off and replacing them with less expensive
FHLB borrowings.

2006 compared to 2005 analysis. Total deposits increased $55.2 million, or 14%, to $456.5 million at
December 31, 2006 from $401.3 million at December 31, 2005. Noninterest-bearing demand deposits increased $5.0 million or 5% at December 31, 2006 as compared to December 31, 2005. Interest bearing and money market deposit
accounts increased $10.3 million, or 8% at December 31, 2006 as compared to December 31, 2005. Savings deposit accounts decreased $10.0 million or 36% at December 31, 2006 as compared to December 31, 2005. Time deposits of
$100,000 or greater increased $49.0 million, or 82% at December 31, 2006 as compared to December 31, 2005, and other time deposits increased $842,000, or 2%.

##### Table of Contents

During the third quarter of 2006 the Company launched a noninterest-bearing deposit sales campaign. As of
December 31, 2006 the Bank was able to attract approximately $5.1 million in new noninterest-bearing deposits, based on average balance in 2006. The deposit sales campaign was the primary contributor to the increase in noninterest-bearing
demand deposits from December 31, 2005 to December 31, 2006. The increase in interest-bearing and money market deposit accounts was primarily the result of the Companys efforts to attract new customers. The increase in time deposits
of $100,000 or greater was primarily the result of additional brokered certificates of deposit acquired to support our loan growth.

Cost of funds

The Companys cost of funds is calculated as total interest expense on interest-bearing deposits and other interest-bearing
liabilities, as a percentage of average interest-bearing deposits and other interest-bearing liabilities.

2007 compared to 2006
analysis.The rate paid on the Companys interest-bearing deposits increased to 3.94% for the year ended December 31, 2007 from 3.25% for the same period in 2006. For all interest bearing liabilities, the average rate for the year
ended December 31, 2007 was 4.31% as compared to 3.57% for the same period in 2006. Market rate increases, coupled with the increase in rates paid on money market deposit accounts as a result of the Companys efforts to attract new
customers impacted the Companys cost of funds.

From December 31, 2006 to December 31, 2007 the percentage of total average
deposits represented by time deposits increased from 27% to 34%. The shift in this average deposit mix also contributed to the increase in cost of funds for 2007 versus 2006.

2006 compared to 2005 analysis. The rate paid on the Companys interest-bearing deposits increased to 3.25% for the year ended
December 31, 2006 from 2.24% for the same period in 2005. For all interest bearing liabilities, the average rate for the year ended December 31, 2006 was 3.57% as compared to 2.53% for the same period in 2005. Market rate increases, the
addition of $30 million repurchase agreement and the increase in rates paid on money market deposit accounts as a result of the Companys efforts to attract new customers impacted the Companys cost of funds.

From December 31, 2005 to December 31, 2006 the percentage of total average deposits represented by money market deposits changed to 37% from
29% while average noninterest-bearing demand deposits changed to 25% from 30%. The shift in this average deposit mix also contributed to the increased cost of funds in the year ended December 31, 2006 versus 2005.

Other Borrowings

The Company utilizes other short-term borrowings to temporarily fund loan growth when customer deposit growth has not kept pace with increases in outstanding loan balances, or when additional liquidity is required to
support higher customer cash utilization.

Short-term borrowings principally include overnight fed funds purchased and advances from the
Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco (FHLB). The details of these borrowings for the periods indicated are presented below:

Capital Resources

The Company uses a variety of measures to evaluate capital adequacy. Management reviews various capital measurements on a monthly basis and takes appropriate action to ensure that such measurements are within
established internal and external guidelines. The external guidelines, which are issued by the Federal Reserve Board and the FDIC, establish a risk-adjusted ratio relating capital to different categories of assets and off-balance sheet exposures.
There are two categories of capital under the Federal Reserve Board and FDIC guidelines: Tier 1 and Tier 2 Capital. Tier 1 Capital currently includes common shareholders equity and the proceeds from the issuance of trust preferred securities
(trust preferred securities are included up to a maximum of 25% of Tier 1 capital), less goodwill and certain other deductions, notably the unrealized net gains or losses (after tax adjustments) on securities available for sale, which are carried at
fair market value. Tier 2 Capital includes preferred stock and certain types of debt equity, which the Company does not hold, as well as the allowance for loan losses, subject to certain limitations. (For a more detailed definition, see Item
1, BusinessCapital Adequacy RequirementsPrompt Corrective Action Provisions herein.)

Management anticipates that continued growth of the Company may require the Company to raise additional
funds through sales of the Companys common stock or the issuance of trust preferred securities in order to meet regulatory capital requirements. No assurance can be given that at such time as the Company determines to increase its capital
through a stock offering or through the issuance of trust preferred securities that it will be able to do so, or that it will be able to do so on terms the Company deems favorable.

Shareholders equity

Total
Shareholders equity was $52.3 million at December 31, 2007, compared to $42.2 million and $33.4 million at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

2007 compared to 2006 analysis.The increase of $10.1 million, or 24% as of December 31, 2007 was primarily due to $7.9 million in year-to-date net income, $626,000 credited to capital in relation to
compensation expense associated with the issuance of stock options, the proceeds of $781,000 from the exercise of stock options, including tax benefit, and the $1.2 million increase in the unrealized gain of marketable securities.

2006 compared to 2005 analysis. The increase of $8.8 million, or 26% as of December 31, 2006 was primarily due to $7.4 million in
year-to-date net income, $542,000 credited to capital in relation to compensation expense associated with the vesting of stock options, the proceeds of $653,000 from the exercise of stock options and the issuance of restricted stock awards, and the
$160,000 increase in the unrealized gain of marketable securities.

Regulatory Capital

As of December 31, 2007, the Companys Total Risk-Based and Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital Ratios were 12.94% and 11.69%, compared to 12.92% and
10.83% at December 31, 2006. The Companys Leverage Capital Ratio at December 31, 2007 was 8.74%, compared to 9.46% at December 31, 2006.

As of December 31, 2007, the Banks Total Risk-Based and Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital Ratios were 12.52% and 11.26%, compared to 12.47% and 11.22% at December 31, 2006. The Banks Leverage Capital
Ratio at December 31, 2007 was 8.43%, compared to 9.82% at December 31, 2006.

As of the end of 2007, both the Company and the
Bank were considered to be well capitalized by regulatory standards. We do not foresee any circumstances that would cause either the Company or the Bank to be less than well capitalized, although no assurance can be given
that this will not occur.

Trust preferred securities

The Company had issued a total of $18 million in trust preferred securities, $6 million of which was redeemed in 2007 through its unconsolidated wholly owned subsidiaries, Centennial Capital Trust I, Centennial
Capital Trust II, and Centennial Capital Trust III.

On July 7, 2007, Centennial Capital Trust I (the Trust), a
wholly-owned subsidiary of 1st Centennial Bancorp (the Company), redeemed 100% of its trust preferred securities that were issued on July 11, 2002 with a maturity date of October 7, 2032, as allowed by the early redemption
provisions of the transaction documents concerning those securities. Simultaneously, the Company retired the $6,186,000 principal amount of junior subordinated debentures issued to the Trust that became due and payable upon redemption of the trust
preferred securities. The Trust, which was dissolved on July 12, 2007, returned the $186,000 in capital to the Company in exchange for the cancellation of the common securities in that amount originally issued by the Trust to the Company at the
close of the transaction in 2002.

Trust preferred proceeds are generally considered to be Tier 1 or Tier 2 capital for regulatory
purposes, but long-term debt in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. At December 31, 2007, $12.0 million of the Companys Tier 1 capital consisted of trust preferred securities; however, no assurance can be given that
trust preferred securities will continue to be treated as Tier 1 capital in the future.

Liquidity and market risk management

Liquidity

Liquidity is defined
as the Companys ability to raise cash when it needs it at a reasonable cost and with a minimum of principal loss. The Company must be capable of meeting all obligations to our customers at any time and, therefore, active management of our
liquidity position is critical.

Given the uncertain nature of our customers demands as well as the Companys desire to take
advantage of earnings enhancement opportunities, the Company must have available adequate sources of on and off balance sheet funds that can be acquired in time of need. Accordingly, in addition to the liquidity provided by normal cashflows,
liquidity must be supplemented with additional sources. As of December 31, 2007 the Company had Federal Funds borrowing arrangements with five correspondent banks totaling $55.0 million, and a secured line of credit with the FHLB totaling
approximately $84.6 million. Other funding alternatives may also be appropriate, including, wholesale and retail repurchase agreements and Brokered certificates of deposit to a limit of 30% of total consolidated assets.

As of December 31, 2007, brokered deposits totaled $22.3 million and were 3% of total consolidated assets.

The Company will periodically (at least quarterly) review a Tier 3 Basic Surplus/Deficitcalculation. If the calculation produces a positive
(BASIC SURPLUS), then all of the Companys short-term and potentially volatile liabilities are covered by its liquid asset position. Conversely, a negative (BASIC DEFICIT) represents the extent to which non-liquid assets
are being supported by vulnerable liabilities. Since there can be a significant cost associated with carrying excess liquidity, the Company will exercise care to avoid unnecessary expense/opportunity loss in this regard. The Board of Directors also
authorizes the use of qualifying FHLB loan collateral and brokered CDs in the Companys liquidity/funds management practices to supplement basic surplus.

The Companys policy is to maintain the liquidity ratio at above 10%. The Companys liquidity ratio is a measure of liquid assets to total consolidated assets. On a consolidated basis, the liquidity ratio
was 25.6% at December 31, 2007 and 24.8% at December 31, 2006.

Managements position is that the standby funding sources
available to the Company are adequate and reliable to meet the Companys current and anticipated short-term liquidity needs.

Market Risk Management

Market risk arises from changes in interest rates, exchange rates, commodity prices and equity prices. The Companys market risk exposure is primarily that of interest rate risk, and it has established policies
and procedures to monitor and limit earnings and balance sheet exposure to changes in interest rates. The Company does not engage in the trading of financial instruments, nor does the Company have exposure to currency exchange rates. The
Companys earnings depend primarily upon the difference between the income it receives from its interest earning assets and its cost of funds, principally interest expense incurred on interest-bearing liabilities. Interest rates charged by the
Company on its loans are affected principally by the demand for loans, the supply of money available for lending purposes, and competitive factors. In turn, these factors are influenced by general economic conditions and other constraints beyond the
Companys control, such as governmental economic and tax policies, general supply of money in the economy, governmental budgetary actions and the actions of the Federal Reserve Board (FRB).

Interest Rate Risk Management

The
principal objective of interest rate risk management (often referred to as asset/liability management) is to manage the financial components of the Companys statement of condition in a manner that will optimize the risk/reward
equation for earnings and capital in relation to changing interest rates. The Company has adopted formal policies and practices to monitor and manage interest rate risk exposure. As part of this effort, the Company measures interest rate risk
utilizing a modeling program from an outside vendor, enabling Management to better manage economic risk and interest rate risk.

##### Table of Contents

The fundamental objective of the Companys Management of its assets and liabilities is to maximize
the economic value of the Company while maintaining adequate liquidity and an exposure to interest rate risk deemed by Management to be acceptable. Management believes an acceptable degree of exposure to interest rate risk results from the
management of assets and liabilities through maturities, pricing and mix to attempt to neutralize the potential impact of changes in market interest rates. The Companys profitability is dependent to a large extent upon its net interest income,
which is the difference between its interest income on interest-earning assets such as loans and securities, and its interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits and borrowings. The Company, like other financial institutions,
is subject to interest rate risk to the degree that its interest-earning assets reprice differently than its interest-bearing liabilities, i.e., not at the same time, or to the same magnitude. The Company manages its mix of assets and liabilities
with the goal of limiting its exposure to interest rate risk, ensuring adequate liquidity, and coordinating its sources and uses of funds. Interest income and interest expense are affected by general economic conditions and by competition in the
marketplace. The Companys interest and pricing strategies are driven by its asset/liability management analyses and by local market conditions.

In connection with the above-mentioned strategy, the Company studies the change in net interest income and net interest margin given immediate and parallel interest rate shocks over a 12-month horizon. The
Companys goal is to manage the effect of these changes within Board-established parameters of less than a 10% change for up/down 200 basis points. Shown below are possible changes to net interest income and the net interest margin
based upon the models program under 200 basis point increases or decreases as of December 31, 2007:



|                         |  |                                         |        |                              |   |        |                                |  |       |                    |  |      |

| 200                    |  |                                         | 27,543 |                              |   | (2,593 | )                              |  | (8.61 | %)                 |  | 4.32 | %

These results indicate the effect of immediate rate changes and do not consider the yield from
reinvesting in short-term versus long-term instruments. The above profile illustrates that if there were an immediate and sustained downward adjustment of 200 basis points in interest rates, the net interest margin over the next twelve months would
likely be 4.32%. Conversely, if there were an immediate increase of 200 basis points in interest rates, the Companys net interest margin would likely be 5.13%. The net interest margin will improve if rates rise and decline if rates fall.
Management and the Board of Directors consider the results indicated by the report to be acceptable.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of

1st Centennial Bancorp and Subsidiary

Redlands, California

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of condition of 1st
Centennial Bancorp and subsidiary as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of earnings, shareholders equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2007. We
also have audited 1st Centennial Bancorp and subsidiarys internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, based on criteria established in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework issued by the Committee of
Sponsoring Organization of the Treadway Commission (COSO). 1st Centennial Bancorp and subsidiarys management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and
for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and an opinion on the Companys internal control over financial
reporting based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
(United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial
reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over
financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as
we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

A companys
internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles. A companys internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect
the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely
detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the companys assets that could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk
that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of 1st Centennial Bancorp and subsidiary as of December 31, 2007 and 2006,
and the results of its operations and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2007, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, 1st
Centennial Bancorp and subsidiary maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007 based on criteria established in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework issued by
COSO.

a controlling financial interest in an entity by first evaluating whether the entity is a voting interest entity or a variable interest entity under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Voting interest entities are entities
in which the total equity investment at risk is sufficient to enable the entity to finance itself independently and provides the equity holders with the obligation to absorb losses, the right to receive residual returns and the right to make
decisions about the entitys activities. The Company consolidates voting interest entities in which it has all, or at least a majority of, the voting interest. As defined in applicable accounting standards, variable interest entities (VIEs) are
entities that lack one or more of the characteristics of a voting interest entity. A controlling financial interest in an entity is present when an enterprise has a variable interest, or a combination of variable interests, that will absorb a
majority of the entitys expected losses, receive a majority of the entitys expected residual returns, or both. The enterprise with a controlling financial interest, known as the primary beneficiary, consolidates the VIE. The
Companys wholly owned subsidiaries, Centennial Capital Trust II and Centennial Capital Trust III, are VIEs for which the Company is not the primary beneficiary. Accordingly, the accounts of these entities are not included in the Companys
consolidated financial statements.

Use of Estimates

In preparing consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management is
required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the statement of condition and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to, but are not limited to, the determination of the allowance for loan losses and the valuation of foreclosed real estate.

Interest-Bearing Deposits in Financial Institutions

Interest-bearing deposits in financial institutions mature within ten years and are carried at cost.

Investment Securities

Debt securities that management has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as held to maturity and recorded at
cost. Securities not classified as held to maturity or trading, including equity securities with readily determinable fair values, are classified as available for sale and recorded at fair value, with unrealized gains or losses excluded
from earnings and reported in other comprehensive income, net of related tax. There were no trading or held to maturity debt securities at December 31, 2007 and 2006.

Purchase premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the terms of the securities. Declines in the fair value
of securities below their cost that are deemed to be other-than-temporary, are reflected in earnings as realized losses. In estimating other-than-temporary impairment losses, management considers (1) the length of time and the extent to which
the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (3) the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for
any anticipated recovery in fair value. Gains and losses on the sale of securities are recorded on the trade date, and are determined using the specific identification method.

Restricted Stock Investments

Federal Home Loan Bank and Pacific Coast Bankers Bank stock are carried at cost, and are evaluated for impairment based on an estimate of the ultimate recoverability of par value.

Loans

The Company grants
construction, real estate, commercial and consumer loans to customers. A substantial portion of the loan portfolio is represented by construction and development, and commercial loans throughout Southern California. The ability of the Companys
debtors to honor their contracts is dependent upon the real estate and general economic conditions in this area.

Loans that management has
the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or pay-off, generally are reported at their outstanding unpaid principal balances adjusted for charge-offs, the allowance for loan losses, and any deferred fees or costs on
originated loans.

Interest on loans is accrued daily as earned, except when serious doubt concerning collectibility arises, at which time
such loans are placed on a nonaccrual basis, generally if no payment is received after ninety days and all accrued and uncollected interest income is reversed against current period operations. Interest income on nonaccrual loans is recognized only
when the loan is paid in full.

Unearned income on installment loans is recognized as income over the term of the loans using a method that
approximates the interest method.

Loan origination fees and costs are deferred and amortized as an adjustment of the loans yield
over the life of the loan using the interest method, which results in a constant rate of return. Amortization of deferred fees is discontinued when a loan is placed on nonaccrual status.

Loans Held for Sale

Loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are carried at the lower of cost or estimated fair value in the aggregate. Fair value is
based on commitments on hand from investors or prevailing market prices. Net unrealized losses, if any, are recognized through a valuation allowance by a charge to income. The Company actively generates Small Business Administration (SBA) loans as
part of its primary operating activity of making loans. The guaranteed portion of each individual loan is sold on the secondary market simultaneously with the booking, and therefore the Company has no inventory held for sale, unlike some
institutions that warehouse loans to sell as pools. The Company retains the unguaranteed portion of the SBA loans. The total gain on sale of loans was $448,000 or 0.84% of gross revenue for 2007, $373,000 or 0.85% of gross revenue for
2006, $1,394,000 million or 3.7% for 2005. The Company reported the gain on sale of loans as operating activities on the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for possible loan losses is a reserve established
through a provision for possible loan losses charged to expense, which represents, in managements judgment the known and inherent credit losses existing in the loan portfolio. The allowance, in the judgment of management, is necessary to
reserve for estimated loan losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The allowance for possible loan losses includes allowance allocations calculated in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 114,
Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan, as amended by SFAS No. 118, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a LoanIncome Recognition and Disclosures, and allowance allocations calculated
in accordance with SFAS No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies. The level of the allowance reflects managements continuing evaluation of industry concentrations, specific credit risks, loan loss experience, current loan
portfolio quality, present economic, political and regulatory conditions and unidentified losses inherent in the current loan portfolio, as well as trends in the foregoing. Portions of the allowance may be allocated for specific credits; however,
the entire allowance is available for any credit that, in managements judgment, should be charged off.

While management utilizes its
best judgment and information available, the ultimate adequacy of the allowance is dependent upon a variety of factors beyond the Companys control, including the performance of the Companys loan portfolio, the economy, changes in
interest rates and the view of the regulatory authorities toward loan classifications.

The Companys allowance for possible loan
losses consists of three elements: (i) specific valuation allowances established for probable losses on specific loans; (ii) historical valuation allowances calculated based on historical loan loss experience for similar loans with similar
characteristics and trends; and (iii) unallocated general valuation allowances determined based on general economic conditions and other qualitative risk factors both internal and external to the Company.

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled
payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled
principal and interest payment when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a
case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the

Allowance for Loan Losses (Continued)



length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrowers prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and
interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan by loan basis for commercial and construction loans by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loans effective interest rate, the loans obtainable market
price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.

Loan Servicing

Servicing assets are recognized as separate assets when rights are acquired through purchase or through sale of financial assets. Capitalized servicing
rights are reported in other assets and are amortized into other income in proportion to, and over the period of, the estimated future net servicing income of the underlying financial assets. Servicing assets are evaluated for impairment based upon
the fair value of the rights as compared to amortized cost. Impairment is determined by stratifying rights by predominant characteristics, such as interest rates and terms. Fair value is determined using prices for similar assets with similar
characteristics, when available, or based upon discounted cash flows using market-based assumptions. Impairment is recognized through a valuation allowance for an individual stratum, to the extent that fair value is less than the capitalized amount
for the stratum.

Premises and Equipment

Land is carried at cost. Premises and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided for in amounts sufficient to relate the cost of depreciable assets to operations over their
estimated service lives on a straight-line basis, which range from 3 to 39 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of their estimated useful life or life of related leases, whichever is shorter.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill is carried as an asset on the Companys consolidated statements of condition, and is evaluated at least once per year for impairment. If the carrying value of the goodwill is determined to be impaired, the Company will
write-down the amount of goodwill to its estimated value. The amount of goodwill written-off will be expensed in the year impairment is determined. There were no changes to the carrying amount of goodwill during the years ended December 31,
2007 and 2006.

Other intangible assets consist of one-time loan and deposit fair value adjustments. These fair value adjustments are
amortized on a straight-line basis with remaining lives of up to one year.

Foreclosed Real Estate

Assets acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosures are held for sale and are initially recorded at fair value less estimated cost to sell at the
date of foreclosure, establishing a new cost basis. Troubled loans are transferred to foreclosed real estate upon completion of formal foreclosure proceedings.

Costs relating to development and improvement of foreclosed real estate are capitalized to the extent they do not exceed net realizable value, whereas costs relating to holding property are expensed.

Valuations are periodically performed by management, and an allowance for losses is established through a charge to operations if the carrying value of a
property exceeds its fair value, less estimated costs to sell.

Cash Surrender Value of Life Insurance

Cash surrender value of life insurance is carried at the amount of cash that may be realized by the Company upon discontinuance or surrender of the
contract prior to its maturity. The amounts are net of any surrender charges or other charges, in accordance with EITF 06-5.

Transfers of Financial Assets

Transfers of financial assets are accounted for as sales, when control over the assets
has been surrendered. Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when: (1) the assets have been isolated from the Company, (2) the transferee obtains the right (free of conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of
that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets, and (3) the Company does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before their maturity.

Advertising cost

Advertising
costs are accrued then paid as incurred.

Income Taxes

Deferred income taxes are recognized for estimated future tax effects attributable to temporary differences between income tax and financial reporting
purposes and carry forwards. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce the deferred tax asset to the amount expected to be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are reflected at currently enacted income tax rates
applicable to the period in which the deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be realized or settled. As changes in tax laws or rates are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted accordingly through the provision for
income taxes.

Stock Incentive Plan

The Company has a stock incentive plan that includes, among other awards, both incentive and nonqualified stock options, and authorizes the issuance of stock options to salaried employees and non-employee directors
(See Note 11).

The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123R, effective January 1, 2006, using the modified prospective
method and began recording compensation expense associated with stock-based awards in accordance with SFAS No. 123R. SFAS No. 123R requires all share-based payments to be recognized as compensation expense through the income statement
based on their fair values at issue date. SFAS No. 123R also requires the benefits of tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation cost to be reported as a financing cash flow, rather than as an operating cash flow required under current
guidelines. Pre-tax stock-based compensation expense was $625,000 and $542,000 for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006.

As a
result of the adoption of SFAS No. 123R and based on the stock-based compensation awards outstanding as of December 31, 2007, the Company expects to recognize additional pre-tax compensation cost (in thousands) as follows:



|       |  |      |     |      |   |      |  |      |     |       |   |    |  |   |

Stock Incentive Plan (continued)



Future levels of compensation cost recognized related to stock-based compensation awards (including the aforementioned expected costs during the period of
adoption) may be impacted by new awards and/or modifications, repurchases and cancellations of existing awards before and after the adoption of this standard.

The fair value of each option granted is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model for those options granted through December 31, 2005 and the Binomial method for those options
granted after December 31, 2005. Under both methods, the following weighted average assumptions were used for option granted in 2007, 2006 and 2005, to arrive at the fair value for each grant:



|                        |  |            |   |  |          |   |  |          |

|Risk-free interest rate |  | 4.69       | % |  | 4.60     | % |  | 4.13     | %
|Expected term           |  | 5-10 years |   |  | 10 years |   |  | 10 years |  

The expected volatility is based on historical volatility. The risk-free interest rates for
periods within the contractual life of the awards are based on the U.S. Treasury yield in effect at the time of the grant. The expected life is based on historical exercise experience. The dividend yield assumption is based on the Companys
history and expectation of dividend payouts.

The following table illustrates the effect on the Companys net income and earnings per
share, had the Company applied the fair value recognition provision of SFAS No. 123R for the year ended December 31, 2005. Earnings per share amounts have been adjusted for all dividends, including the 50% stock distribution declared for
shareholders of record on May 1, 2007, and distributed May 15, 2007:

Employee Benefit Plan

The Company has a defined contribution plan consisting of an Employee Stock Ownership Plan with 401(K) Provisions (KSOP). Contributions expense is
recognized based on cash contributions paid or committed to be paid to the KSOP. All shares held by the KSOP are deemed outstanding for purposes of earnings per share calculations. Dividends declared on all shares held by the KSOP are charged to the
Companys retained earnings.

Earnings Per
Share21

Basic earnings per
share represent income available to common shareholders divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive
potential common shares had been issued, as well as any adjustment to income that would result from the assumed issuance. Potential common shares that may be issued by the Company relate to outstanding stock grants and stock options and are
determined using the treasury stock method. Weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for basic earnings per share amounted to 4,850,263, 4,780,001 and 4,693,214 for 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Weighted-average number of common
shares outstanding for dilutive earnings per share amounted to 5,239,917, 5,266,987 and 5,054,229 for 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Statement of Cash Flows

For the purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand,
amounts due from banks, and federal funds sold.

Comprehensive Income

Generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) requires that recognized revenue, expenses, gains and losses be included in net income. Although certain
changes in assets and liabilities, such as unrealized gains and losses on available for sale securities, are reported as a separate component of the equity section of the consolidated statements of condition, such items, along with net income, are
components of comprehensive income.

The components of other comprehensive income at December 31 are as follows:

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48 Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (an
interpretation of SFAS Statement No. 109). FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 with earlier adoption encouraged. FIN 48 was issued to clarify the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized
in the consolidated financial statements by prescribing a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The adoption of FIN 48
did not have an impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements and results of operations.

In February 2006, the FASB
issued SFAS No. 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments,which amends SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,and SFAS No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and
Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities. SFAS No. 155 resolves issues addressed in SFAS No. 133 Implementation Issue No. Dl, Application of Statement 133 to Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial
Assets. SFAS No. 155 permits fair value remeasurement for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation and clarifies which interest-only strips and principal-only strips are
not subject to SFAS No. 133 requirements. SFAS No. 155 also establishes a requirement to evaluate interests in securitized financial assets in order to identify interests that are freestanding derivatives or that are hybrid financial
instruments that contain an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation, clarifies that concentrations of credit risk in the form of subordination are not embedded derivatives and amends SFAS No. 140 to eliminate the prohibition on a qualifying
special purpose entity from holding a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument. SFAS No. 155 is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after
the beginning of an entitys first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. The fair value election may also be applied upon adoption of SFAS No. 155 for hybrid financial instruments that had been bifurcated under
paragraph-12 of SFAS No. 133 prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 155. The adoption of SFAS No. 155 did not have an impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements and results of operations.

In March of 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets, which amends SFAS No. 140, Accounting
for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities, with respect to the accounting for servicing of financial assets. SFAS No. 156 requires that all separately recognized servicing rights be initially
measured at fair value, if practicable. For each class of separately recognized servicing assets and liabilities, SFAS No. 156 permits an entity to choose either of the following subsequent measurement methods: (1) the amortization of
servicing assets or liabilities in proportion to and over the period of estimated net servicing income or net servicing loss or (2) the reporting of servicing assets or liabilities at fair value at each reporting date and reporting changes in
fair value in earnings in the period in which the changes occur. SFAS No. 156 also requires additional disclosures for all separately recognized servicing rights. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an entitys fiscal year,
provided the entity has not yet issued consolidated financial statements, including interim consolidated financial statements, for any period of that fiscal year. SFAS No. 156 is effective the earlier of the date an entity adopts the
requirements of SFAS No. 156, or as of the beginning of its first fiscal year beginning after September 15, 2006. An entity should apply the requirements for recognition and initial measurement of servicing assets and servicing liabilities
prospectively to all transactions after the effective date of SFAS No. 156. The adoption of SFAS No. 156 did not have an impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements and results of operations.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements (continued)



In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring
fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 does not require any new fair value measurements, but applies under other existing accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. SFAS
No. 157 emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement and, therefore, should be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing that asset or liability. SFAS
No. 157 also establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources and the Companys own assumptions about market participant
assumptions based on the best information available. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years with earlier adoption
permitted. The Company does not expect adoption of SFAS No. 157 to have a significant impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements and results of operations.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilitiesincluding an amendment
of FASB Statement No. 115 which is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company has decided not to adopt SFAS No. 159.

In September 2006, the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) reached a final consensus on Issue No. 06-5 (EITF 06-5), Accounting for Purchase of
Life InsuranceDetermining the Amount That Could be Realized in Accordance with FASB Technical Bulletin No. 85-4. EITF 06-5 requires that the cash surrender value and any amounts provided by the contractual terms of an insurance policy
that are realizable at the balance sheet date be considered in determining the amount that could be realized under Technical Bulletin No. 85-4. The provisions of EITF 06-5 require (1) consideration of the effect of contractual restrictions
that limit amounts that could be realized, (2) exclusion from the amount that could be realized of amounts recoverable at the discretion of the insurance company, (3) amounts that are recoverable by the policyholder in periods beyond one
year from the surrender of the policy be discounted, and (4) an assumption that policies will be surrendered on an individual lifebyindividual life basis. The provisions of EITF 06-5 were effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2006 and were to be applied as a change in accounting principle either through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings or other components of equity or net assets in the statement of financial position as of the
beginning of the year of adoption; or through retrospective application to all prior periods. The adoption of EITF 06-5 did not have an impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements and results of operations.

Note 13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Financial Instruments with Off-Balance-Sheet Risk

The Company is a party to credit related financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments
to extend credit, standby letters of credit and commercial letters of credit. Such commitments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated statements of condition.

The Companys exposure to credit loss is represented by the contractual amount of these commitments. The Company follows the same
credit policies in making commitments as it does for on-balance sheet instruments.

As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, the following
financial instruments were outstanding whose contract amounts represent credit risk:



|                                                       |  |      |         |      |   |

|                                                       |  |      |         |      |   |        
|                                                       |  | $    | 210,425 |      | $ | 229,492
|                                                       |  |      |         |      |   |        

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to customers, provided there is no violation
of any conditions established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Commitments are generally variable rate, and many of these commitments are expected to
expire without being drawn upon. As such, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Companys exposure to credit losses is represented by the contractual amount of these commitments. The Company
uses the same credit underwriting policies in granting or accepting such commitments as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments, which consist of evaluating customers creditworthiness individually.

Standby letters of credit are conditional lending commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the financial performance of a customer to a third
party. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support private borrowing arrangements. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. When deemed necessary,
the Company holds appropriate collateral supporting those commitments. Management does not anticipate any material losses as a result of these transactions. The Company considers standby letters of credit to be guarantees under FASB
Interpretation No. 45, Guarantors Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others.The amount of the liability related to guarantees on December 31, 2007 was
immaterial.

Legal Proceedings

The Company is party from time to time to claims and legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. It is the Opinion of management that the disposition or ultimate determination of such claims and
legal proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition and results of operations of the Company.

Note 13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES(Continued)



Employment Agreements and Special Termination Agreements

The Company has entered into employment agreements with two of its key officers. The agreements provide for a specified minimum
annual compensation and the continuation of benefits currently received. However, employment under the agreements may be terminated for cause, as defined, without incurring any continuing obligations. The agreements also acknowledge the
establishment of a salary continuation plan to provide benefits to certain executive officers at the age of retirement (See Note 16).

Both
of the employment agreements contain special termination clauses which provide for certain lump-sum severance payments within a specified period following a change in control, as defined in the agreements.

Note 14. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

Employee Stock
Ownership Plan with 401(k) Provisions (KSOP)

The Company has established an employee stock ownership plan with 401(k) provisions
(KSOP) covering substantially all employees of the Company. Employees who have completed six months of service and have attained age 21 are eligible to participate in the KSOP. Employees become fully vested after five years of service. Contributions
to the KSOP, whether in cash or securities, are made at the discretion of the Companys Board of Directors in an amount not to exceed the maximum allowable as an income tax deduction. No contributions were made to the employee stock ownership
plan portion of the KSOP during the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005.

The Companys 401(k) savings and retirement
provision to the KSOP includes substantially all employees. The employees attain vesting in the Companys contribution over six years. Employees may contribute up to 75% of their compensation, subject to certain limits based on federal tax
laws. Under the terms of the KSOP, the Company may make matching contributions at the discretion of the Board of Directors. Matching contributions to the 401(k) portion of the KSOP by the Company amounted to $73,000, $166,000 and $227,000 for the
years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Note 15. CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

The Company services customers in Redlands, Brea, Escondido, Palm Desert, Irwindale and Temecula and has no concentration of deposits with any one
particular customer or industry.

At December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company had approximately $8,246,000 and $17,164,000,
respectively, of noninterest-bearing deposits with its correspondent banks, substantially all of which are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). At December 31, 2007 and 2006, approximately 62% and 59%, respectively,
of the Companys loan portfolio consisted of construction and development loans (46% and 40%, respectively), residential loans, commercial and multi-family loans.

Note 16. DEFERRED COMPENSATION AGREEMENTS

Salary Continuation Agreements

The Company has entered into salary continuation agreements, which provide for payments to certain officers at the age of retirement. Included in other
liabilities at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, is $1,218,000 and $796,000 of deferred compensation related to these agreements. The plans are funded through life insurance policies that generate a cash surrender value to fund the
future benefits.

Note 16. DEFERRED COMPENSATION AGREEMENTS(Continued)



Director Deferred Compensation Agreements

During 2007, the Company entered into director deferred compensation agreements, which provide for payments to each of its non-employee directors at the
earlier of age 73 or 5 years from July 20, 2007. Included in other liabilities at December 31, 2007 is $120,000 of deferred compensation related to these agreements. The plans are funded through life insurance policies that generate a cash
surrender value to fund the future benefits.

Note 17. SHAREHOLDERS EQUITY

Minimum Regulatory Requirements

The Company (on a consolidated basis) and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly
additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Companys consolidated financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective
action, the Company and its subsidiary must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Companys assets, liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The
capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weighting, and other factors.

Quantitative measures established by the regulations to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the following table) of total and Tier 1 capital
(as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined) and of Tier 1 capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined). Management believes, as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, that the Company and the Bank met all capital
adequacy requirements to which they are subject.

As of December 31, 2007, the Bank and Company were categorized as well capitalized
and met all subject capital adequacy requirements, based on the most recent notification from the FDIC. To be categorized as well capitalized, a bank must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth
in the following table. There are no conditions or events since the notification that management believes have changed the Companys or the Banks category.

Note 18. RESTRICTIONS ON DIVIDENDS, LOANS AND ADVANCES

Federal and state banking regulations place certain restrictions on dividends paid and loans or advances made by the Bank to the Company. The total amount
of dividends that may be paid at any date is generally limited to the retained earnings of the Bank; in addition, dividends paid by the Bank to the Company would be prohibited if the effect thereof would cause the Banks capital to be reduced
below applicable minimum capital requirements. As of December 31, 2007, the Company does not have any outstanding loans or advances with the Bank. The Companys policy in reference to loans or advances between the Company and the Bank
states that any loans will be made in accordance with applicable federal and state regulations regarding affiliate transactions and generally accepted accounting principles.

Note 19. DIVIDENDS PAID

The Company did not pay a cash dividend in 2007, 2006 or 2005. During 2007
and 2006, the Company made a 50% stock distribution, which resulted in the issuance of 1,614,406 and 1,062,656 shares, respectively. During 2005, the Board of Directors approved a 7% stock dividend, which resulted in the issuance of 135,815 shares.

Note 22. FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK LINE OF CREDIT

The Company is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco (FHLB). The Company has an available line of credit with the FHLB which provides
for advances of up to $84,586,000. FHLB advances at December 31, 2007 totaled $64,500,000 and were at various interest rates ranging from 4.01% to 4.78%. The FHLB advances are collateralized by real estate and commercial loans made by the
Company.

Note 23. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating fair value disclosures for financial instruments:

Cash and Cash EquivalentsThe carrying amounts of cash and short-term instruments approximate fair value.

Interest-Bearing Deposits in Financial InstitutionsThe carrying amounts of interest-bearing deposits in financial
institutions approximate the estimated fair value of such assets.

Investment SecuritiesFair values for
securities are based on quoted market prices.

Stock investments, restricted, at
costThe carrying value of restricted stock approximate fair value.

LoansFor
variable-rate loans that reprice frequently and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values. Fair values for other loans (e.g., commercial real estate and investment property mortgage loans, commercial and
industrial loans) are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality. Fair values for non-performing loans are estimated using
discounted cash flow analyses or underlying collateral values, where applicable.

Accrued Interest
ReceivableThe carrying amounts of accrued interest receivable approximate fair value.

Cash Surrender
Value of Life InsuranceThe carrying amounts of life insurance approximate fair value.

DepositsThe fair values disclosed for demand deposits (e.g., interest and non-interest checking, passbook savings, and certain types of money market accounts) are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at
the reporting date (i.e., their carrying amounts). The carrying amounts of variable-rate, fixed-term money market accounts and certificates of deposit approximate their fair values at the reporting date. Fair values for fixed-rate certificates of
deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits.

Accrued Interest PayableThe carrying amounts of accrued interest payable approximate fair value.

Short-Term BorrowingsThe carrying amounts for short-term borrowings approximate the estimated fair value of such
liabilities.

Borrowings from federal home loan bankThe carrying amounts of borrowings from Federal Home
Loan Bank are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis and interest rates currently being offered for borrowings from federal home loan bank with similar terms.

Repurchase agreementsThe carrying amounts of repurchase agreements are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses
and interest rates currently being offered for repurchase agreements with similar terms.

Note 23. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS(Continued)



Subordinated Notes Payable to Subsidiary
TrustsThe carrying amounts for subordinated notes payable to subsidiary trusts approximate the estimated fair value of such liabilities.

|ITEM 9A. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
|-------- | -----------------------

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and
Procedures

The Companys Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of the
Companys disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a  15(c) promulgated under the Exchange Act as of the end of the period covered by this annual report (the Evaluation Date) have concluded that
as of the Evaluation Date, the Companys disclosure controls and procedures were adequate and effective to ensure that material information relating to the Company and its consolidated subsidiary would be made known to them by others within
those entities, particularly during the period in which this annual report was being prepared.

Disclosure controls and procedures are
designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange
Commissions rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file under the Exchange Act is
accumulated and communicated to our Management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Managements Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Management of the
Company is responsible for the preparation, integrity, and reliability of the consolidated financial statements and related financial information contained in this annual report. The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and, as such, include some amounts that are based on judgments and estimates of Management.

Management has established and is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting. The Companys internal control
over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:



| | (i) | pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company;
| | --- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (ii) | provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles,
and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of Management and Directors of the Company; and
| | ---- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (iii) | provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Companys assets that could have a material effect
on the financial statements.
| | ----- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There are inherent limitations in the effectiveness of any internal control, including the
possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of controls. Accordingly, even effective internal control can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation. Further, because of changes in
conditions, the effectiveness of internal control may vary over time. The system contains monitoring mechanisms, and actions are taken to correct deficiencies identified.

the Treadway Commission. Based on this assessment, Management believes that the Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007.

The effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007 has been audited by Hutchinson and
Bloodgood LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report appearing in Item 8.
