COAST BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2005 (Unaudited)
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

# NOTE
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

|In
the opinion of management, the unaudited consolidated  condensed financial  statements
contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal  recurring  adjustments) necessary to
present fairly Central Coast Bancorps (the  Companys)
consolidated financial position at September 30,  2005, the  results of operations for
the three and nine month periods ended  September 30, 2005 and  2004 and cash flows for
the nine month periods ended  September 30, 2005 and 2004.

Certain
disclosures normally presented in the notes to the annual consolidated financial
statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America have been omitted. The interim consolidated
condensed financial statements included in this Form 10-Q should be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto
included in the Companys 2004 Annual Report to Shareholders. The results
of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2005 and
2004 may not necessarily be indicative of the operating results for the full
year.

In
preparing such financial statements, management is required to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of
the date of the balance sheet and revenues and expenses for the period. Actual
results could differ significantly from those estimates. Material estimates that
are particularly susceptible to significant changes in the near term relate to
the determination of the allowance for loan losses.

Management
has determined that since all of the commercial banking products and services
offered by the Company are available in each branch of the Community Bank of
Central California, its bank subsidiary (the Bank), all branches are
located within the same economic environment and management does not allocate
resources based on the performance of different lending or transaction
activities, it is appropriate to aggregate the Bank branches and report them as
a single operating segment.

Stock
split  On January 31, 2005, the Board of Directors declared a
five-for-four stock split, which was distributed to shareholders on February 28,
2005. All earnings per share data and share data related to the stock option
information have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the stock split.

Subsequent
event  On October 13, 2005, Central Coast Bancorp issued a press release
and subsequently filed a Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission to
announce the proposed acquisition of Central Coast Bancorp and its bank
subsidiary, Community Bank of Central California, pursuant to a definitive
agreement dated October 12, 2005, entered into by and between Central Coast
Bancorp and VIB Corp, located in El Centro, California. Under the terms of the
agreement, Central Coast Bancorps shareholders will be paid $25 per
outstanding share in cash. The acquisition transaction is subject to approvals
of applicable regulatory authorities and the favorable vote of the shareholders
of Central Coast Bancorp. Subject to obtaining applicable regulatory and Central
Coast Bancorp shareholder approvals, the transaction is expected to be completed
in the first quarter of 2006.

NOTE
2. STOCK COMPENSATION

The
Company accounts for its stock-based awards using the intrinsic value method in
accordance with Accounting Principles Board No. 25, Accounting for Stock
Issued to Employees and its related interpretations. No compensation expense
has been recognized in the financial statements for employee stock arrangements,
as the Companys stock option plans provide for the issuance of options at
a price of no less than the fair market value at the date of the grant.
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation, requires the disclosure of pro forma net income
and earnings per share had the Company adopted the fair value method of
accounting for stock-based compensation. Under SFAS No. 123, the fair value of
stock-based awards to employees is calculated through the use of option pricing
models, even though such models were developed to estimate the fair value of
freely tradable, fully transferable options without vesting restrictions, which
significantly differ from the Companys stock option awards. These models
also require subjective assumptions, including future stock price volatility and
expected time to exercise, which greatly affect the calculated values. The
Companys calculations were made using the Black-Scholes option pricing
model with the following assumptions: expected life of five years; average stock
volatility of 15.7% and 16.8% for 2005 and 2004; risk free interest rates
ranging from 3.77% to 3.90% for 2005 and 3.08% to 4.35% for 2004; and no cash
dividends during the expected term for options granted in 2005 and 2004. The
Companys calculations are based on a multiple option valuation approach
and forfeitures are recognized as they occur.


A
summary of the pro forma effects to reported net income and  earnings per share as if the
Company had elected to recognize compensation cost based on  the fair value of the
options  granted at the grant date as prescribed by SFAS No. 123 is  as follows.

|NOTE
3. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

In
the normal course of business there are outstanding various commitments to
extend credit which are not reflected in the financial statements, including
loan commitments of approximately $250,684,000 and standby letters of credit of
approximately $7,295,000 at September 30, 2005. However, all such commitments
will not necessarily culminate in actual extensions of credit by the Company.

Approximately
$25,536,000 of loan commitments outstanding at September 30, 2005 relate to real
estate construction loans that are expected to fund within the next twelve
months. The remaining commitments primarily relate to commercial revolving lines
of credit, other commercial loans and home equity lines of credit. Many of these
commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon. Each potential
borrower and the necessary collateral are evaluated on an individual basis.
Collateral varies, but may include real property, bank deposits, debt or equity
securities or business assets.

Stand-by
letters of credit are commitments written to guarantee the performance of a
customer to a third party. These guarantees are issued primarily relating to
contract performance or purchases of inventory by commercial customers and are
typically short-term in nature. Credit risk is similar to that involved in
extending loan commitments to customers and, accordingly, evaluation and
collateral requirements similar to those for loan commitments are used.
Virtually all such commitments are collateralized.



NOTE
4. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic
earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average
common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects
the potential dilution that could occur if options or other contracts to issue
common stock were exercised and converted into common stock.

There
was no difference in the numerator used in the calculation of basic earnings per
share and diluted earnings per share. The denominator used in the calculation of
basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share for the three and
nine-month periods ended September 30 is reconciled and basic and diluted
earnings per share are calculated as follows:
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|NOTE
6.  RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Share-Based
Payments

In
December 2004, the FASB issued Statement Number 123 (revised 2004) (FAS 123
(R)), Share-Based Payments. FAS 123 (R) requires all entities to
recognize compensation expense in an amount equal to the fair value of
share-based payments such as stock options granted to employees. In April 2005,
the Securities and Exchange Commission adopted a rule that defers the compliance
of FAS 123(R) from the first reporting period beginning after June 15, 2005 to
the first fiscal year beginning after June 15, 2005, January 1, 2006 for the
Company. FAS 123 (R) allows for either a modified prospective recognition of
compensation expense or a modified retrospective recognition. The Company
currently intends to apply the modified prospective recognition method and
implement the provisions of FAS 123 (R) beginning in the first quarter of 2006.
Management has completed its evaluation of the effect that FAS 123 (R) will have
and believes that the effect will be consistent with its pro forma disclosures,
see Note 2.

uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those
projected. Changes to such risks and uncertainties, which could impact future
financial performance, include, among others, (1) competitive pressures in the
banking industry; (2) changes in the interest rate environment; (3) general
economic conditions, nationally, regionally and in operating market areas,
including a decline in real estate values in the Companys market areas;
(4) the effects of terrorism, the threat of terrorism or the impact of military
conflicts; (5) changes in the regulatory environment; (6) changes in business
conditions and inflation; (7) changes in securities markets; (8) data processing
problems; (9) variances in the actual versus projected growth in assets; (10)
return on assets; (11) loan losses; (12) expenses; (13) rates charged on loans
and earned on securities investments; (14) rates paid on deposits; and (15) fee
and other noninterest income earned, as well as other factors. This entire
report should be read to put such forward-looking statements in context. To gain
a more complete understanding of the uncertainties and risks involved in the
Companys business, this report should be read in conjunction with Central
Coast Bancorps annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2004 and subsequently filed quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current reports
on Form 8-K.

Critical
Accounting Policies

General

Central
Coast Bancorps financial statements are prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
(GAAP). The financial information contained within our statements
is, to a significant extent, financial information that is based on measures of
the financial effects of transactions and events that have already occurred. We
use historical loss factors as one factor in determining the inherent loss that
may be present in our loan portfolio. Actual losses could differ significantly
from the historical factors that we use. Other estimates that we use are related
to the expected useful lives of our depreciable assets. In addition GAAP itself
may change from one previously acceptable method to another method. Although the
economics of our transactions would be the same, the timing of events that would
impact our transactions could change.

Allowance
for Loan Losses

The
allowance for loan losses is an estimate of the losses that may be sustained in
our loan portfolio. The allowance is based on two basic principles of
accounting: (1) Statement of Financial Accountings Standards (SFAS)
No. 5 Accounting for Contingencies, which requires that losses be
accrued when they are probable of occurring and estimable and (2) SFAS No. 114,
Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan, which requires
that losses be accrued based on the differences between the value of collateral,
present value of future cash flows or values that are observable in the
secondary market and the loan balance.

Our
allowance for loan losses has three basic components: the formula allowance, the
specific allowance and the unallocated allowance. Each of these components is
determined based upon estimates that can and do change when actual events occur.
The formula allowance uses a historical loss view as an indicator of future
losses and as a result could differ from the loss incurred in the future.
However, since this history is updated with the most recent loss information,
the errors that might otherwise occur are mitigated. The specific allowance uses
various techniques to arrive at an estimate of the expected loss. Historical
loss information and fair market value of collateral are used to estimate those
losses. The use of these values is inherently subjective and our actual losses
could be greater or less than the estimates. The unallocated allowance addresses
losses that are attributable to various factors including economic events and
industry or geographic sectors whose impact on the portfolio have occurred, but
have yet to be recognized in either the formula or specific allowances. For
further information regarding our allowance for loan losses, see Allowance
for Loan Losses discussion later in this Item 2.

Stock
Based Awards

The
Company accounts for its stock based awards using the intrinsic value method in
accordance with Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25 and
related interpretations. Since the Companys stock option plan provides for
the issuance of options at a price of no less than the fair market value at the
date of the grant, no compensation expense has been recognized in the financial
statements. See Note 2 to the consolidated condensed financial statements 
STOCK COMPENSATION, for additional information.

Overview

Central
Coast Bancorp reported record quarterly net income of $5,340,000 for the third
quarter of 2005. Net income increased 63.7% over the $3,263,000 reported for the
third quarter of 2004. Diluted earnings per share for the two quarters were
$0.36 and $0.23, respectively. All earnings per share and applicable share data
for the 2004 periods have been adjusted for the five-for-four stock split
distributed on February 28, 2005. The annualized return on average equity (ROAE)
and the return on average assets (ROAA) for the third quarter of 2005 were 18.9%
and 1.69% up from 13.7% and 1.22% for the same period in 2004.

Net
income for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 increased 38.4% to
$13,443,000 from $9,715,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004.
Diluted earnings per share increased to $0.92 from $0.68 for the comparative
periods. For the first nine months of 2005, the annualized ROAE was 16.7% and
the ROAA was 1.48% up from 14.0% and 1.25% for the same period in 2004.

The
Company largely maintained the growth in its balance sheet in the first nine
months of 2005. At September 30, 2005, total assets were $1,233,327,000, a
slight decrease of $15,272,000 (-1.2%) from June 30, 2005 and an increase of
$68,666,000 (5.9%) from year-end 2004. Most of the asset growth has been
deployed into the investment portfolio and Fed Funds Sold as year-to-date loan
growth has been relatively flat. Loans at September 30, 2005, totaled
$926,306,000, a decrease of $7,117,000 (-0.7%) from June 30, 2005 and $5,210,000
(-0.6%) from year-end 2004. At September 30, 2005, deposits were slightly lower
at $1,096,391,000, a decrease of $25,153,000 (-2.2%) from June 30, 2005 and an
increase of $45,023,000 (4.3%) from year-end 2004. On a year-over-year basis,
the Companys focus on internal growth and de novo branch expansion has
generated an increase in total assets of $159,193,000 (14.9%); an increase in
loans of $85,757,000 (10.2%); and an increase in deposits of $142,232,000
(14.9%).

The
Company provided $885,000 for loan losses in the third quarter of 2004. Based on
changes in the loan portfolio and the estimated probable loss in the portfolio,
no provision for loan losses was recorded in the third quarter of 2005. At
September 30, 2005, nonperforming and restructured loans totaled $2,993,000 as
compared to $835,000 at December 31, 2004 and $7,281,000 at September 30, 2004.
The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to total loans was 1.89% at September
30, 2005, 1.75% at December 31, 2004 and 1.76% at September 30, 2004.

Central
Coast Bancorp ended the third quarter of 2005 with a Tier 1 capital ratio of
11.4% and a total risk-based capital ratio of 12.7% compared to 10.5% and 11.7%
at the end of the third quarter of 2004.

Within
the Managements Discussion and Analysis, interest income, net interest
income, net interest margin and the efficiency ratio are presented on a fully
taxable equivalent basis. These items have been adjusted to give effect to
$369,000 and $287,000 in taxable equivalent interest income on tax-free
investments for the three-month periods ending September 30, 2005 and 2004 and
$976,000 and $841,000 for the nine-month periods ending September 30, 2005 and
2004.

The
following table provides a summary of the major elements of income and expense
for the periods indicated.

|Net
interest income for the third quarter of 2005 was $15,084,000 for an increase of
$3,713,000 (32.7%) from the $11,371,000 recorded in the third quarter of 2004.
Both interest income and interest expense were higher than prior year levels.
The interest income component increased $5,379,000 (37.8%) on a
quarter-over-quarter basis as both the volume of earning assets and the rates on
earning assets increased. Average loan balances were $107,074,000 (13.3%) higher
in the third quarter of 2005 versus the same quarter in the previous year. This
volume difference added $1,630,000 to interest income. The average yield earned
on loans in the third quarter of 2005 was 7.21%, an increase of 117 basis points
from the 6.04% yield earned in the third quarter of 2004. The higher loan yield
increased interest income by $2,719,000. The average balance of Federal Funds
Sold was $68,278,000 in the third quarter of 2005, an increase of $51,482,000
from the average balance in the third quarter of 2004. The increase in volume
added $178,000 to interest income. In addition, due to the continuing increases
in interest rates, the average yield on Fed Funds Sold in the third quarter of
2005 was 3.63% versus 1.37% in the year earlier period. The higher rates on Fed
Funds Sold increased interest income $389,000 on a quarter-over-quarter basis.

Interest
expense increased $1,666,000 (58.4%) to $4,519,000 in the third quarter of 2005
from $2,853,000 in the third quarter of 2004. The increase was attributable to
both increases in the volume and higher rates on the interest-bearing deposit
liabilities The year-long trend of the Federal Reserve Board through its Federal
Open Market Committee (FOMC) to raise the short term interest rates has begun to
impact the pricing on time deposit liabilities. The average rate paid on time
deposits increased 53 basis points to 3.09% for the third quarter of 2005. The
higher rates on time deposits increased interest expense $673,000. Higher rates
on the other interest-bearing liabilities increased interest expense an
additional $259,000 in 2005 over the year earlier period. Average balances of
interest-bearing liabilities in the third quarter of 2005 increased by
$135,033,000 (19.3%) over the prior year period. These higher balances added
$734,000 to interest expense. The average rate paid on demand deposits decreased
slightly in the third quarter of 2005 compared to that of 2004 due to changes in
the composition of demand deposit balances.

The
net interest margin for the third quarter of 2005 was 5.06% up 50 basis points
from to 4.56% in the year earlier period. The net interest margin in the third
quarter of 2005 increased 13 basis points from the 4.93% achieved in the second
quarter of 2005. Both the average yield received on earning assets and the
average rate paid on liabilities increased by 16 basis points from the second
quarter 2005 yields and rates. The increase in net interest margin from the
second quarter is attributable to a higher level of earning assets over the
interest-bearing liabilities as well as to an increase in rates.

For
the nine-month period ending September 30, 2005, net interest income increased
$9,941,000 (30.6%) to $42,468,000 from $32,527,000 for the first nine months of
2004. The interest income component increased $13,909,000 to $54,703,000.
Average balances of earning assets were $178,531,000 (18.5%) higher in the first
nine months of 2005 than the same period in 2004. The average balance of loans
was $135,943,000 higher, which contributed $6,123,000 to interest income. The
average yield of 6.86% received on loans in the first nine months of 2005 was 86
basis points higher than the 6.00% received in the year earlier period. The
higher yield on loans increased interest income by $6,001,000. Interest earned
on Fed Funds Sold increased $928,000 in the first nine months of which $695,000
was attributable to higher rates.

Interest
expense for the nine-month period ending September 30, 2005 increased $3,968,000
(48.0%) to $12,235,000 from $8,267,000 for the first nine months of 2004.
Average interest bearing liability balances in the first nine-months of 2005
were $125,110,000 (18.3%) higher than in the year earlier period. The volume
increases added $1,821,000 to interest expense. For the first nine months of
2005, average rates paid on interest bearing liabilities was 2.02% for an
increase of 40 basis points from the rates paid in the first nine-months of
2004. The higher rates resulted in a $2,147,000 increase in interest expense in
the first nine months of 2005 from the prior year period.

The
impact of the above changes in volumes and rates for earning assets and interest
bearing liabilities for the first nine months of 2005 had a positive effect on
the net interest margin which increased 45 basis points to 4.95% from 4.50% in
the year earlier period.






Provision
for Loan Losses

The
Company made no provision for loan losses in the third quarter of 2005 as
compared to $885,000 in the third quarter of 2004. For the nine-month period
ended September 30, 2005, the Company provided $1,400,000 compared to $1,540,000
in the year earlier period. The provision for loan losses that has been recorded
is based on factors which consider the growth or decline in the level of loans,
changes in the level of nonperforming and classified assets, changing portfolio
mix and prevailing local and national economic conditions to establish the
required level of loan loss reserves. At September 30, 2005, the ratio of the
allowance for loan losses to total loans was 1.89% as compared to 1.75% at
December 31, 2004 and 1.76% at September 30, 2004. Including the reserve for
undisbursed loan commitments, included in other liabilities in the consolidated
condensed balance sheet, the total allowance was 1.97% of total loans as of
September 30, 2005 compared to 1.81% at December 31, 2004 (See the Credit
Risk and Allowance for Loan Losses sections for additional
discussion).


Noninterest
Income

Noninterest
income consists primarily of service charges on deposit accounts and fees for
miscellaneous services. Noninterest income totaled $1,192,000 in the third
quarter of 2005, which was up $64,000 (5.7%) from $1,128,000 in the same period
in 2004. Service charges on deposit accounts were relatively unchanged compared
to the same period in the prior year. Other fee income was up due to changes in
types and levels of business activity.

For
the first nine months of 2005, noninterest income increased $280,000 (8.8%) to
$3,460,000 compared to $3,180,000 in the same period last year. Service charges
on deposit accounts for the first nine months of 2005 were consistent with the
comparative period in the prior year. Other income increased in part due to a
$12,000 gain on the sale of securities in 2005 versus a loss of $116,000 in
2004.


Noninterest
Expense

Noninterest
expenses increased $1,045,000 (16.5%) to $7,380,000 in the third quarter of 2005
as compared to $6,335,000 in the third quarter 2004. Salary and benefit expenses
increased $683,000 (18.4%) to $4,392,000 in the third quarter of 2005 as
compared to $3,709,000 in the prior year quarter. Costs increased due to normal
salary increases, higher staffing levels, the two new branches opened in the
second half of 2004 and higher benefit costs. Health insurance costs increased
$130,000 (58.1%). Other noninterest expenses were generally higher due to higher
business volumes, the two new branches and normal cost increases. The efficiency
ratio for the quarter ended September 30, 2005 improved to 45.5% as compared to
50.7%, in the year earlier period. The company employed an equivalent of 286
full time employees as of September 30, 2005.

Noninterest
expenses for the nine-month period ending September 30, 2005 increased
$3,408,000 (18.5%) to $21,876,000 compared to $18,468,000 for the same period in
2004. Salary and benefit expenses increased $2,168,000 (19.9%) to $13,059,000 in
the first nine months of 2005 versus $10,891,000 in the first nine months of
2004. The increase was due to additional staffing, the two new branches, higher
benefit costs and normal salary increases. Health insurance costs accounted for
$571,000 of the increase. The Company changed its health insurance provider in
the third quarter of 2005, and anticipates that this will have a positive impact
on mitigating these cost increases. Other expenses were up due to business
volumes, the two new branches, the cost of upgrading equipment and other cost
increases. The efficiency ratio for the first nine months of 2005 improved to
47.6% from 51.7% for the same period of 2004 due to the growth in income
outpacing growth in noninterest expenses.


Provision
for Income Taxes

The
Company recorded income tax expense of $3,187,000 and $8,233,000 for the quarter
and nine-month periods ending September 30, 2005 as compared to $1,729,000 and
$5,143,000 for the same periods in 2004. The effective tax rates, considering
state and federal taxes, and tax exempt income for the third quarter and first
nine months of 2005 were 37.4% and 38.0% compared to 34.6% for both periods in
2004. The effective tax rate was higher in both periods of 2005 as the fully
taxable income grew at a faster rate than tax exempt income. Also, in 2004 the
Company revised the calculation of deferred tax assets to consider the
Companys increased incremental tax rate, resulting in a lower net
effective tax rate for the previous year period.


Securities

At
September 30, 2005, available-for-sale securities had a market value of
$212,528,000 with an amortized cost basis of $212,666,000. On an amortized cost
basis, the investment portfolio increased by $20,870,000 from the balance at
June 30, 2005 and increased $44,614,000 from the balance at December 31, 2004.
The pretax unrealized loss of $138,000 at September 30, 2005 represented a
decrease in market value of $366,000 from the unrealized gain of $228,000 at
June 30, 2005 and a decrease of $1,237,000


Loans

The
ending loan balance at September 30, 2005 was $926,306,000, which was a decrease
of $7,117,000 (0.8%) from the June 30, 2005 balance, a decrease of $5,210,000
(0.6%) from the year-end 2004 balance and an increase of $85,757,000 (10.2%)
from the September 30, 2004 balance. During the third quarter of 2005, real
estate-other and consumer loans increased while commercial and construction
loans decreased from June 30, 2005 balances. The most significant changes
occurred in the real estate-other and construction categories. Several factors
contributed to the increase in real estate loansother in the third
quarter, including the term-out of former construction loans and the addition of
term fixed rate commercial real estate loans. The decrease in construction loans
was due to the completion of several large construction projects. Within its
primary market area, the Bank has diversified its risk both as to property type
and location. See Credit Risk below for a discussion regarding real
estate risk.


Credit
Risk

The
Bank assesses and manages credit risk on an ongoing basis through stringent
credit review and approval policies, extensive internal monitoring and
established formal lending policies. Additionally, the Bank contracts with an
outside loan review consultant to periodically examine new loans and to review
the existing loan portfolio. Management believes its ability to identify and
assess risk and return characteristics of the Companys loan portfolio is
critical for profitability and growth. Management strives to continue the
historically low level of loan losses by continuing its emphasis on credit
quality in the loan approval process, active credit administration and regular
monitoring. With this in mind, management has designed and implemented a
comprehensive loan review and grading system that functions to continually
assess the credit risk inherent in the loan portfolio.

Ultimately,
the credit quality of the Banks loans may be influenced by underlying
trends in the national and local economic and business cycles. The Banks
business is mostly concentrated in Monterey County. The Countys economy is
highly dependent on the agricultural and tourism industries. The agricultural
industry is also a major driver of the economies of San Benito County and the
southern portions of Santa Cruz and Santa Clara Counties, which represent the
additional market areas for the Bank. As a result, the Bank lends money to
individuals and companies dependent upon the agricultural and tourism
industries. The concentration in tourism and agriculture under certain economic
conditions could have an adverse effect on the credit quality of loans in the
portfolio.

The
Company has significant extensions of credit and commitments to extend credit
which are secured by real estate, totaling approximately $765 million at
September 30, 2005. Although management believes this real estate concentration
has no more than the normal risk of collectibility, a substantial decline in the
economy in general, or a decline in real estate values in the Banks
primary market areas in particular, could have an adverse impact on the
collectibility of these loans. The ultimate recovery of these loans is generally
dependent on the successful operation, sale or refinancing of the real estate.
The Bank monitors the effects of current and expected market conditions and
other factors on the collectibility of real estate loans. When, in
managements judgment, these loans are impaired, an appropriate provision
for losses is recorded. The more significant assumptions management considers
involve estimates of the following: lease, absorption and sale rates; real
estate values and rates of return; operating expenses; inflation; and
sufficiency of collateral independent of the real estate including, in limited
instances, personal guarantees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, abnormally high
rates of impairment due to general or local economic conditions could adversely
affect the Companys future prospects and results of operations.

extending credit and commitments to borrowers, the Bank generally requires
collateral and/or guarantees as security. The repayment of such loans is
expected to come from cash flow or from proceeds from the sale of selected
assets of the borrowers. The Banks requirement for collateral and/or
guarantees is determined on a case-by-case basis in connection with
managements evaluation of the creditworthiness of the borrower. Collateral
held varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and
equipment, income-producing properties, residences and other real property. The
Bank secures its collateral by perfecting its interest in business assets,
obtaining deeds of trust, or outright possession among other means. Loan losses
from lending transactions related to real estate and agriculture compare
favorably with the Banks loan losses on its loan portfolio as a whole.
Therefore, the requirement of collateral and/or guarantees generally helps to
mitigate credit risk.

Management
believes that its lending policies and underwriting standards will tend to
mitigate losses in an economic downturn; however, there is no assurance that
losses will not occur under such circumstances. The Banks loan policies
and underwriting standards include, but are not limited to, the following: 1)
maintaining a thorough understanding of the Banks service area and
limiting investments outside of this area, 2) maintaining a thorough
understanding of borrowers knowledge and capacity in their field of
expertise, 3) basing real estate construction loan approval not only on
salability of the project, but also on the borrowers capacity to support
the project financially in the event it does not sell within the original
projected time period, and 4) maintaining conforming and prudent loan to value
and loan to cost ratios based on independent outside appraisals and ongoing
inspection and analysis by the Banks construction lending officers. In
addition, the Bank strives to diversify the risk inherent in the construction
portfolio by avoiding concentrations to individual borrowers and on any one
project.


Nonaccrual,
Past Due and Restructured Loans

Management
generally places loans on nonaccrual status when they become 90 days past due,
unless the loan is well secured and in the process of collection. When a loan is
placed on nonaccrual status, the accrued and unpaid interest receivable is
reversed and the loan is accounted for on the cash or cost recovery method
thereafter, until qualifying for return to accrual status. Generally, a loan may
be returned to accrual status when all delinquent interest and principal become
current in accordance with the terms of the loan agreement and remaining
principal is considered collectible or when the loan is both well secured and in
the process of collection. Loans are charged off when, in the opinion of
management, collection appears unlikely. The following table sets forth
nonaccrual loans, loans past due 90 days or more and restructured loans
performing in compliance with modified terms at September 30, 2005 and December
31, 2004:

|Nonperforming
assets, which includes nonperforming and restructured loans and other real
estate owned (OREO), increased $2,158,000 from the December 31, 2004 balance. At
September 30, 2005, nonperforming and restructured loans were 0.32% of total
loans, which was up from 0.07% at June 30, 2005 and 0.09% at December 31, 2004.
This increase is primarily due to the restructuring of one real estate loan. The
ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets was 0.24% at September 30, 2005,
0.05% at June 30, 2005 and 0.07% at December 31, 2004. The Company did not have
any OREO at September 30, 2005 or December 31, 2004.

A
loan is impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable
that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the
contractual terms of the loan agreement. Impaired loans are measured based on
the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loans
effective interest rate or, as a practical expedient, at the loans
observable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is
collateral-dependent.

At
September 30, 2005, the recorded investment in loans that were considered
impaired under SFAS No. 114 was $2,993,000. The total impaired loans consist
solely of restructured loans. Impaired loans had valuation allowances totaling
$445,000. At December 31, 2004, the recorded investment in loans considered
impaired was $835,000 of which $102,000 was included in nonaccrual loans and
$733,000 was included in restructured loans. Impaired loans had valuation
allowances totaling $323,000. The increase of $2,158,000 in impaired loans from
December 31, 2004 is primarily due to the restructuring of one real estate loan.

Other
than for the impaired loans disclosed above, management is not aware of any
other potential problem loans, which were accruing and current at September 30,
2005, where serious doubt exists as to the ability of the borrower to comply
with the present repayment terms.


Allowance
for Loan Losses

The
Bank maintains an allowance for loan losses to absorb losses inherent in the
loan portfolio. The allowance is based on our regular assessments of the
probable estimated losses inherent in the loan portfolio and to a lesser extent,
unused commitments to provide financing. Determining the adequacy of the
allowance is a matter of careful judgment, which reflects consideration of all
significant factors that affect the collectibility of the portfolio as of the
evaluation date. Our methodology for measuring the appropriate level of the
allowance relies on several key elements, which include the formula allowance,
specific allowances for identified problem loans and the unallocated reserve.
The unallocated allowance contains amounts that are based on managements
evaluation of conditions that are not directly measured in the determination of
the formula and specific allowances.

The
formula allowance is calculated by applying loss factors to outstanding loans
and certain unused commitments, in each case based on the internal risk grade of
such loans and commitments. Changes in risk grades of both performing and
nonperforming loans affect the amount of the formula allowance. Loss factors are
based on our historical loss experience and may be adjusted for significant
factors that, in managements judgment, affect the collectibility of the
portfolio as of the evaluation date. At September 30, 2005, the formula
allowance was $14,600,000 compared to $14,374,000 at June 30, 2005 and
$11,620,000 at December 31, 2004. The increase in the formula allowance in the
third quarter was primarily a result of fluctuations in the balances of various
classified loan categories.

In
addition to the formula allowance calculated by the application of the loss
factors to the standard loan categories, certain specific allowances may also be
calculated. Quarterly, all significant classified and criticized loans are
analyzed individually based on the source and adequacy of repayment and specific
type of collateral, and an assessment is made of the adequacy of the formula
reserve relative to the individual loan. A specific allocation either higher or
lower than the formula reserve will be calculated based on the
higher/lower-than-normal probability of loss and the adequacy of the collateral.
At September 30, 2005, the specific allowance was $1,138,000 compared to
$1,041,000 at June 30, 2005 and $2,671,000 at December 31, 2004

The
unallocated allowance contains amounts that are based on managements
evaluation of conditions that are not directly measured in the determination of
the formula and specific allowances. The evaluation of the inherent loss with
respect to these conditions is subject to a higher degree of uncertainty because
they are not identified with specific problem loans or portfolio segments. At
September 30, 2005, the unallocated allowance was $1,811,000 compared to
$2,099,000 at June 30, 2005 and $1,979,000 at December 31, 2004. The conditions
evaluated in connection with the unallocated allowance include the following at
the balance sheet date:
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|There
can be no assurance that the adverse impact of any of these conditions on the
Bank will not be in excess of the unallocated allowance as determined by
management at September 30, 2005 and set forth in the preceding paragraph.

The
allowance for loan losses totaled $17,550,000 or 1.89% of total loans at
September 30, 2005 compared to $17,514,000 or 1.88% at June 30, 2005 and
$16,270,000 or 1.75% at December 31, 2004. At these dates, the allowance
represented 586%, 2591% and 1949% of nonperforming loans.

It
is the policy of management to maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level
adequate for risks inherent in the loan portfolio. Based on information
currently available to analyze loan loss potential, including economic factors,
overall credit quality, historical delinquency and a history of actual
charge-offs, management believes that the loan loss provision and allowance are
adequate. However, no prediction of the ultimate level of loans charged off in
future years can be made with any certainty.

The
following table summarizes activity in the allowance for loan losses for the
periods indicated:

|Liquidity

Liquidity
management refers to the Companys ability to provide funds on an ongoing
basis to meet fluctuations in deposit levels as well as the credit needs and
requirements of its clients. Both assets and liabilities contribute to the
Companys liquidity position. Federal Funds lines, short-term investments
and securities, and loan repayments contribute to liquidity, along with deposit
increases, while loan funding and deposit withdrawals decrease liquidity. The
Bank assesses the likelihood of projected funding requirements by reviewing
historical funding patterns, current and forecasted economic conditions and
individual client funding needs. Commitments to fund loans and outstanding
standby letters of credit at September 30, 2005 were approximately $250,684,000
and $7,295,000, respectively. Such loans relate primarily to revolving lines of
credit and other commercial loans, and to real estate construction loans.

The
Companys sources of liquidity consist of overnight funds sold to
correspondent banks, unpledged marketable investments, loans pledged to the
Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco (FHLB-SF) and sellable SBA
loans. On September 30, 2005, liquid assets totaled $209.0 million or 17.0% of
total assets as compared to $158.6 million or 13.6% of total assets on December
31, 2004. In addition to liquid assets, the Bank maintains short-term lines of
credit with correspondent banks. At September 30, 2005, the Bank had $90,000,000
available under these credit lines. Informal agreements are also in place with
various other banks to purchase participations in loans, if necessary. The
Company serves primarily a business and professional customer base and, as such,
its deposit base is susceptible to economic fluctuations. Accordingly,
management strives to maintain a balanced position of liquid assets to volatile
and cyclical deposits.


Capital
Resources

The
Companys total shareholders equity was $114,744,000 at September 30,
2005 compared to $101,116,000 at December 31, 2004. The increase in capital
reflects the year-to-date earnings of approximately $13.4 million, exercise of
stock options totaling approximately $2.1 million, approximately a $0.7 million
decrease in the market value of available-for-sale investment securities and the
effect of the stock repurchases of approximately $1.2 million in the first half
of 2005.

The
Company and the Bank are subject to regulations issued by the Board of Governors
and the FDIC which require maintenance of a certain level of capital. Under the
regulations, capital requirements are based upon the composition of an
institutions asset base and the risk factors assigned to those assets. The
guidelines characterize an institutions capital as being Tier
1 capital (defined to be principally shareholders equity less
intangible assets) and Tier 2 capital (defined to be principally the
allowance for loan losses, limited to one and one-fourth percent of gross risk
weighted assets). The guidelines require the Company and the Bank to maintain a
risk-based capital target ratio of 8%, one-half or more of which should be in
the form of Tier 1 capital.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK


Overview

The
goal for managing the assets and liabilities of the Company is to maximize
shareholder value and earnings while maintaining a high quality balance sheet
without exposing the Company to undue interest rate risk. The Board of Directors
has overall responsibility for the Companys interest rate risk management
policies. The Bank has an Asset and Liability Management Committee (ALCO), which
establishes and monitors guidelines to control the sensitivity of earnings to
changes in interest rates.


Asset/Liability
Management

Activities
involved in asset/liability management include but are not limited to lending,
accepting and placing deposits, investing in securities and issuing debt.
Interest rate risk is the primary market risk associated with asset/liability
management. Sensitivity of earnings to interest rate changes arises when yields
on assets change in a different time period or in a different amount from that
of interest costs on liabilities. To mitigate interest rate risk, the structure
of the balance sheet is managed with the goal that movements of interest rates
on assets and liabilities are correlated and contribute to earnings even in
periods of volatile interest rates. The asset/liability management policy sets
limits on the acceptable amount of variance in net interest margin and market
value of equity under changing interest rate environments. The Company uses
simulation models to forecast earnings, net interest margin and market value of
equity.

Simulation
of earnings is one of the tools used to measure the sensitivity of earnings to
interest rate changes. Using computer modeling techniques, the Company is able
to estimate the potential impact of changing interest rates on earnings. A
balance sheet forecast is prepared using inputs of actual loan and interest
bearing liability (i.e. deposits/borrowings) positions as the beginning base.

The
Company measures the interest rate risk embedded in its current portfolio based
on interest rates evolving over time along four forecast paths. Net interest
margin and net interest income are calculated as the forecast balance sheet is
processed against these four interest rate scenarios. One scenario is a flat
rate based on the current rate environment. One scenario is an economic
forecast, based on underlying economic and financial sector modeling. The other
two are a rising and declining scenario based on gradual rate ramps which embody
rate relationships. The nature of the specified rate tests is a gradual but
significant change in interest rates projected to evolve over 12 months. The
interest rate risk modeling is a useful tool, but there are certain limits to
the rate forecast estimates. Actual rate changes rarely follow any given
forecast, asset-liability pricing and other model inputs usually do not remain
constant in their historic relationships as new rate environments evolve.
However, holding these assumptions constant through the modeling horizon helps
to appropriately emphasize specific repricing/mismatch points and their
performance implications.

A
one year projection of net interest income, as forecast below, was modeled
utilizing a forecast balance sheet projected from May 31, 2005 balances.

The
following table summarizes the effect on net interest income of three rate
scenarios as measured against a most likely rate scenario.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Most likely rates |                                                               
|Declining rates   |                                                               
|Rising rates      |                                                               

|The
Company also estimates rate risk through the use of rate shock analysis. The
model calculates both the percent and dollar changes in net interest income
(NII) and market value of equity (MVE) projected to occur should the yield curve
instantaneously shift up or down in a parallel fashion from its beginning
position. MVE measures the impact on equity due to the changes in the market
values of assets and liabilities as a result of a change in interest rates. In
the rate shock analysis, the forecast balance sheet is processed against seven
interest rate scenarios. These seven interest rate scenarios include the flat
rate scenario described above, and six additional rate shock scenarios ranging
from +300 to -300 basis points around the flat scenario in 100 basis point
increments. These rate shock scenarios assume that interest rates increase or
decrease immediately and remain at the new level in the future. The Company
measures the volatility of these benchmarks using a twelve-month time horizon.
Using the May 31, 2005 balance sheet as the base for the simulation, the
following table summarizes the effect on net interest income of a +/-200 and
+/-100 basis point change in interest rates. Due to the current low level of
interest rates, the potential for interest bearing deposit accounts to respond
to further changes in projected rates is limited, therefore calculations for
rate decreases greater than 200 basis points are misleading and have not been
presented.

|These
results indicate that the balance sheet is asset sensitive since earnings
increase when interest rates rise. The magnitude of the NII change is within the
Companys policy guidelines. The asset liability management policy limits
aggregate market risk, as measured in this fashion, to an acceptable level
within the context of risk-return trade-offs.

The
simulations of earnings do not incorporate any management actions, which might
moderate the negative consequences of interest rate deviations. Therefore, they
do not reflect likely actual results, but serve as conservative estimates of
interest rate risk. The risk profile of the Company has not changed materially
from that at year-end 2004.

ITEM
4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a)
Disclosure Controls and Procedures: An evaluation of the Companys
disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e)
and 15d-15(e)) was carried out under the supervision and with the participation
of the Companys Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and other
members of the Companys senior management as of the end of the
Companys fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2005. The Companys Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Companys
disclosure controls and procedures as currently in effect are effective in
ensuring that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the
reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is (i) accumulated and
communicated to the Companys management (including the Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer) to allow timely decisions regarding
required disclosure, and (ii) recorded, processed, summarized and reported
within the time periods specified in the Commissions rules and forms.

(b)
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting: An evaluation of any changes in the
Companys internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange
Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)), that occurred during the Companys
fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2005, was carried out under the supervision
and with the participation of the Companys Chief Executive Officer, Chief
Financial Officer and other members of the Companys senior management. The
Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded
that no change identified in connection with such evaluation has materially
affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys
internal control over financial reporting.


OTHER
MATTERS


Change
of Accountants

On
June 21, 2005, the Company filed a Form 8-K to announce a change in the
accounting firm that audits the Companys financial statements. The Company
selected Perry-Smith LLP to be the successor accountant to Deloitte & Touche
LLP. The change was effective as of June 16, 2005.


Terrorist
Acts

The
terrorist actions on September 11, 2001 and thereafter had significant adverse
effects upon the United States economy. Whether the terrorist activities in the
future and the actions of the United States and its allies in combating
terrorism on a worldwide basis, including the current military action in Iraq,
will adversely impact the Company and the extent of such impact is uncertain.
However, such events have had and could in the future have an adverse effect on
the economy in the Companys market areas. Such adverse impact could affect
the Companys future results of operations by, among other matters,
reducing the demand for loans and other products and services offered by the
Company, increasing nonperforming loans and the amounts reserved for loan
losses, and causing a decline in the Companys stock price.


Off-Balance
Sheet Items

The
Company has certain ongoing commitments under operating leases. These
commitments do not significantly impact operating results. As of September 30,
2005 and December 31, 2004, commitments to extend credit and letters of credit
were the only financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk (See Note 3 to
the consolidated condensed financial statements  Commitments and
Contingencies). The Company has not entered into any contracts for financial
derivative instruments such as futures, swaps, options or similar instruments.

Certain
financial institutions have elected to use special purpose vehicles
(SPV) to dispose of problem assets. A SPV is typically a subsidiary
company with an asset and liability structure and legal status that makes it
obligations secure even if the parent corporation goes bankrupt. Under such
circumstances, these financial institutions may exclude the problem assets from
their reported impaired and non-performing assets. The Company does not use SPV
or other structures to dispose of problem assets.

PART
II  OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM
1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS


The
Court of Appeal for the Sixth Appellate District filed its decision on August 2,
2005, in the appeal filed by Registrants subsidiary, Community Bank of
Central California, from the judgments issued by the trial court in favor of the
City of King. The decision of the Court of Appeal reversed the trial court
judgment on a writ of mandate in favor of the City of King, but granted the City
of King the right to amend its complaint to pursue a civil action, subject to
the Banks right to conduct discovery which had been denied in the earlier
action by the trial court. The Court of Appeal also reversed the post-judgment
order of the trial court awarding attorney fees to the City of King. It is not
clear what course of action the City of King will pursue in light of the Court
of Appeal decision, but the Bank intends to continue to vigorously assert its
rights in respect to the certificate of deposit.

For
further information, see Registrants disclosures regarding the City of
King litigation in Registrants Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2004, Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period
ended June 30, 2005, and other reports referenced therein, filed with the
Commission pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Except
as disclosed above, there are no material pending legal proceedings, other than
ordinary routine litigation incidental to the Companys business, to which
the Company or the Bank is a party or as to which any of their property is

ITEM
2.  UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITIY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

The
Board of Directors has authorized a stock repurchase program under which
repurchases will be made from time to time by the Company in the open market, or
in block purchases, or in privately negotiated transactions, in compliance with
Securities and Exchange Commission rules. Management reports monthly to the
Board of Directors on the status of the repurchase plan. The Company did not
repurchase shares under the program subsequent to its last purchase on June 10,
2005. Year-to-date, the Company repurchased 71,102 shares at a total cost of
$1,237,000. The following table reflects the fact that there was no repurchase
activity during the third quarter.
