Note #1 – Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The accounting and reporting policies of Vineyard National Bancorp (the “Company”) and its subsidiary conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and to general practices within the banking industry. In the opinion of management, the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements contain all (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) adjustments necessary to present fairly the Company’s consolidated financial position at June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, results of operations for each of the six and three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, and the results of cash flows for each of the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally presented in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted. These interim Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s 2003 Annual Report to shareholders. The results for each of the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 may not necessarily be indicative of the operating results for the full year.

A summary of the Company's significant accounting and reporting policies consistently applied in the preparation of the accompanying financial statements follows:

Principles of Consolidation

The Consolidated Financial Statements include the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Vineyard Bank (the “Bank”). Inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Nature of Operations

The Company is a bank holding company. The Company’s principal asset is the capital stock of the Bank, a California-chartered commercial bank, headquartered in the Inland Empire region of Southern California. The Bank operates nine banking centers within San Bernardino, Riverside and Los Angeles counties of California. The Company is dedicated to relationship banking and the success of its customers. The Company caters to the needs of small-to-mid-size commercial businesses, retail community businesses, single family residence developers/builders, individuals and local public and private organizations by offering specialty product solutions. The Company attracts deposits from the communities where it has established banking centers by offering competitive interest rate products and providing value-added consumer services.

Investment in Nonconsolidated Subsidiaries

The Company accounts for its investments in its wholly owned special purpose entities, Vineyard Statutory Trust I, Vineyard Statutory Trust II, Vineyard Statutory Trust III, Vineyard Statutory Trust IV, Vineyard Statutory Trust V, and Vineyard Statutory Trust VI (collectively, the “Trusts”), using the equity method under which the subsidiaries’ net earnings are recognized in the Company’s statements of income.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant changes relate to the determination of the allowance for losses on loans and the valuation of real estate acquired in connection with foreclosures or in satisfaction of loans.

While management uses available information to recognize losses on loans and foreclosed real estate, future additions to the allowances may be necessary based on changes in local economic conditions. In addition, regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Bank's allowances for losses on loans and foreclosed real estate. Such agencies may require the Bank to recognize additions to the allowances based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination. Because of these factors, it is reasonably possible that the allowances for losses on loans and foreclosed real estate may change.

Investment Securities

In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities," which addresses the accounting for investments in equity securities that have readily determinable fair values and for investments in all debt securities, securities are classified in three categories and accounted for as follows: debt securities that the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as held-to-maturity and are measured at amortized cost; debt and equity securities bought and held principally for the purpose of selling in the near term are classified as trading securities and are measured at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses included in earnings; debt and equity securities deemed as available-for-sale are me asured at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses reported in a separate component of stockholders' equity. Gains or losses on sales of investment securities are determined on the specific identification method. Premiums and discounts on investment securities are amortized or accreted using the interest method over the expected lives of the related securities.


	8

Allowance for Possible Loan Losses

Allowance for possible loan losses is maintained at a level which, in management's judgment, is adequate to absorb credit losses inherent in the loan and lease portfolio. The amount of the allowance is based on management's evaluation of the collectibility of the loan portfolio, including the nature of the portfolio, credit concentrations, trends in historical loss experience, specific impaired loans and economic conditions. The allowance is increased by a provision for loan and lease losses, which is charged to expense and reduced by charge-offs, net of recoveries.

Comprehensive Income

The Company follows SFAS No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income,” which requires the disclosure of comprehensive income and its components. Changes in unrealized gains/ (losses) on available-for-sale securities, net of income taxes, is the only component of accumulated other comprehensive income for the Company.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2003 financial statements to conform to 2004 classifications.

Current Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued FASB Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities an Interpretation of ARB No. 51 ("FIN 46") and in December 2003, FASB issued a revision ("FIN 46R"). FIN 46 and FIN 46R address the requirements for consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest entities. Subsidiary business trusts formed by bank holding companies to issue trust preferred securities and lend the proceeds to the parent holding company have been determined to not meet the definition of a variable interest entity and therefore must be deconsolidated for financial reporting purposes. Bank holding companies had previously consolidated these entities and reported the trust preferred securities as liabilities in the Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company has adopted FIN 46 and FIN 46R as of December 31 , 2003 and restated prior periods presented, which did not have a material impact on the financial condition or operating results of the Company.

In December 2003, American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“AICPA”) issued Statement of Position 03-3, Accounting for Certain Loans or Debt Securities Acquired in a Transfer (“SOP 03-3”). SOP 03-3 addresses accounting for differences between contractual cash flows and cash flows expected to be collected from an investor’s initial investment in loans or debt securities (loans) acquired in a transfer if those differences are attributable, at least in part, to credit quality. SOP 03-3 does not apply to loans originated by the entity. SOP 03-3 limits the yield that may be accreted (accretable yield) to the excess of the investor’s estimated of undiscounted expected principal, interest, and other cash flows over the investor’s initial investment in the loan. SOP 03-3 requires that the excess of contractual cash flows over cash flows ex pected to be collected not be recognized as an adjustment of yield, loss accrual, or valuation allowance. SOP 03-3 prohibits investors from displaying accretable yield and nonaccretable difference in the balance sheet. Subsequent increases in cash flows expected to be collected generally should be recognized prospectively through adjustment of the loan’s yield over its remaining life. Decreases in cash flows expected to be collected should be recognized as impairment. SOP 03-3 is effective for loans acquired in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2004. The adoption of SOP 03-3 is not expected to have a material impact on the financial condition or operating results of the Company.

In March 2004, FASB issued an exposure draft of a proposed SFAS, Share-Based Payment, an amendment of Statements No. 123 and 95, for public comment. This proposed statement addresses the accounting for transactions in which an enterprise receives employee services in exchange for (a) equity instruments of the enterprise or (b) liabilities that are based on the fair value of the enterprise’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of such equity instruments. This proposed statement would eliminate the ability to account for share-based compensation transaction using APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and generally would require instead that such transactions be accounted for using a fair-value-based method. The proposed statement would neither change the accounting in FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, for transactions in which an enterprise exchanges its equity instruments for services of parties other than employees nor change the accounting for employee stock ownership plans, which are subject to AICPA Statement of Position 93-6, Employers’ Accounting for Employee Stock Ownership Plans. Comments on this exposure draft were due on June 30, 2004. The FASB board is currently analyzing the comments relating to this exposure draft and a final Statement is expected to be issued in the fourth quarter of 2004. The Company will continue to monitor the status of exposure draft and will determine its impact on the financial condition or operating results of the Company.

Note #2 – Junior Subordinated Debentures

In December 2003, September 2003, December 2002 and December 2001, the Company issued junior subordinated debentures of $10.3 million, $10.3 million, $5.2 million and $12.4 million, respectively, with effective interest rates of 4.02%, 4.19%, 4.49% and 4.71% as of June 30, 2004, respectively, to Vineyard Statutory Trust IV, III, II, and I, respectively.


	9

On March 25, 2004, the Company issued $10.3 million of Floating Rate Junior Subordinated Deferrable Interest Debentures (the “Debt Securities”) to Vineyard Statutory Trust V, a statutory trust created under the laws of the State of Connecticut. The Debt Securities are subordinated to effectively all borrowings of the Company except for similar debt securities issued to Vineyard Statutory Trust I, Vineyard Statutory Trust II, Vineyard Statutory Trust III and Vineyard Statutory Trust IV. The Debt Securities are due and payable on April 23, 2034. Interest is payable quarterly at a rate of 3-Month LIBOR plus 2.85% for an effective rate of 3.96% as of June 30, 2004. The Debt Securities can be called at any time commencing on April 7, 2009, at par. The Debt Securities can also be redeemed at par if certain events occur that impact the tax treatment or the capital treatment of th e issuance. The Company also purchased a 3% minority interest totaling $310,000 in Vineyard Statutory Trust V. The balance of the equity of Vineyard Statutory Trust V is comprised of mandatorily redeemable preferred securities and is included in Other Assets on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet.

On May 18, 2004, the Company issued $12.4 million of Debt Securities to Vineyard Statutory Trust VI, a statutory trust created under the laws of the State of Connecticut. The Debt Securities are subordinated to effectively all borrowings of the Company except for similar debt securities issued to Vineyard Statutory Trust I, Vineyard Statutory Trust II, Vineyard Statutory Trust III, Vineyard Statutory Trust IV and Vineyard Statutory Trust V. The Debt Securities are due and payable on July 23, 2034. Interest is payable quarterly at a rate of 3-Month LIBOR plus 2.85% for an effective rate of 4.11% as of June 30, 2004. The Debt Securities can be called at any time commencing on July 23, 2009, at par. The Debt Securities can also be redeemed at par if certain events occur that impact the tax treatment or the capital treatment of the issuance. The Company also purchased a 3% minority inte rest totaling $372,000 in Vineyard Statutory Trust VI. The balance of the equity of Vineyard Statutory Trust VI is comprised of mandatorily redeemable preferred securities and is included in Other Assets on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Under FIN 46 and FIN 46R, the Company is not allowed to consolidate statutory trusts into the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. Hence, the Company has excluded the Trusts from its Consolidated Financial Statements. The Federal Reserve Board (the “FRB”) has ruled that certain mandatorily redeemable preferred securities of a consolidated entity qualified as Tier 1 Capital. The FRB is evaluating the capital impact from FIN 46 and FIN 46R but has not issued any final ruling. As of June 30, 2004, the Company has included the qualifying junior subordinated debentures in its Tier 1 Capital for regulatory capital purposes.

Note #3 - Commitments and Contingencies

In the normal course of business, the Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and letters of credit. To varying degrees, these instruments involve elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company's exposure to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the other party to the financial instruments for undisbursed loan funds and letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. At June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, the amounts of the Company’s undisbursed loan funds were $429.0 million and $361.4 million, respectively, and obligations under standby and commercial letters of credit were $0.7 million for both periods.

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company evaluates each customer's creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of credit, is based on management's credit evaluation. Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, income-producing commercial properties, residential properties and properties under construction.

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Commercial letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to facilitate trade or commerce. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers.

Note #4 – Dividends

On December 23, 2002, the Company declared a 5% common stock dividend paid on January 15, 2003 to shareholders of record as of December 23, 2002. Additionally, on December 23, 2003, the Company declared a 5% common stock dividend paid on January 26, 2004 to shareholders of record as of January 12, 2004. All shares and per share data have been retroactively adjusted to reflect these stock dividends.

On April 26, 2004, the Company declared a $0.05 per share cash dividend paid on May 24, 2004 to common stock shareholders of record as of May 14, 2004. During the first quarter of 2004, the Company declared and paid cash dividends of $0.04 per common share. The total amount of cash dividends on common stock paid during the six months ended June 30, 2004 was $0.3 million.

Note #5 - Earnings per Share and Book Value

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity.

The EPS was adjusted to reflect a 2 for 1 stock split declared in July 2004 and payable in August 2004, and 5% stock dividends paid in January 2004 and January 2003.

Note #6 – Employee Stock Ownership Plan

During April 2004, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the formation of a company-sponsored Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the “ESOP”) under the Vineyard National Bancorp Employee Stock Ownership Plan Trust (the “ESOP Trust”) for the benefit of the Company’s eligible full-time employees. Shares held by the ESOP are held by an independent trustee for allocation among participants as the loan is repaid. The number of shares released annually is based upon the ratio that the current principal and interest payment bears to the original principal and interest payment to be made. The amount of shares allocated under the ESOP is based on the employee’s annual compensation and such shares become fully vested to employees upon the completion of five years of service. ESOP participants are entitled to receive distributions from the ESOP account generally upon termination of service, which includes retirement and death. No shares held by the ESOP we re allocated as of June 30, 2004.

To fund the purchase in the open market of shares of common stock of the Company, the ESOP Trust secured a loan in the amount of $7.0 million with a third party bank. The ESOP loan bears a floating interest rate of 0.5% over the national prime rate and matures in ten years starting on the date of initial advance. The effective rate of the loan was 4.5% as of June 30, 2004. The outstanding balance of the ESOP loan is collateralized by the assets of the ESOP and guaranteed by the Company. Dividends paid on the shares owned by the ESOP will be used to pay off the loan.

The ESOP has used the full amount of the loan to purchase 149,000 shares of the Company’s common stock in the open market, representing 3.4% of the total number of common shares outstanding. Upon distribution of the 2 for 1 stock split, declared in July 2004 and payable in August 2004, there will be 298,000 total shares held by the ESOP. The cost of shares held by the ESOP and not yet allocated to employees is reported as a reduction of stockholders’ equity. Upon allocation of the shares, allocated shares of the ESOP will be charged to compensation expense based on the fair value of the shares transferred.

Note #7 – Redemption and Conversion of Preferred Stock

On April 19, 2004, the Company announced that it would redeem all 50 outstanding shares of its 7.0% Series A Perpetual Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred Stock”) pursuant to their terms on May 19, 2004. On May 19, 2004, the Company redeemed the 50 outstanding shares at a redemption price of $50,000 per share plus accrued interest, for an aggregate approximate amount of $2.5 million.

Pursuant to the provisions of the Certificate of Determination of the Company’s 5.6% Series B Non-cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series B Preferred Stock”), the Company had the option to redeem the Series B Preferred Stock at any time upon the achievement of certain price levels of its common stock. In April 2004, the Company’s common stock price satisfied these requirements. On May 4, 2004, the Company announced that it would redeem all 1,150,000 outstanding shares of its Series B Preferred stock on June 3, 2004. Holders of the Series B Preferred Stock had the right to convert their shares of Series B Preferred Stock into share of common stock. Prior to the redemption date, 1,147,595 shares of Series B Preferred Stock elected to convert into shares of common stock. On June 3, 2004, the Company redeemed the remaining 2,405 shares of its Series B Preferred Stock outstanding at a redemption price of $25.00 per share, plus declared and unpaid dividends , for an aggregate approximate amount of $0.3 million. Prior to redemption, the Series B Preferred Stock was traded on the American Stock Exchange.

Note #8 – Sale of Capital Stock in Private Placement

During June 2004, the Company issued and sold 400,000 shares of its common stock to institutional investors through a private placement, which raised $15.2 million in additional capital, net of fees and expenses. The Company also granted the investors warrants to purchase up to 80,000 additional shares of common stock. The warrants entitle the holders to exercise their warrants and purchase shares of common stock for $50.00 per share (the “Exercise Price”) at any time through June 21, 2011 (the “Expiration Date”). As of June 30, 2004, assuming retroactive adjustment of the 2 for 1 stock split, declared in July 2004 and payable in August 2004, there are 160,000 warrants outstanding with an exercise price of $25.00 per share. Warrants exercised prior to the Expiration Date will be settled on a “net share” basis, wherein investors receive common stock equal to the difference between the Exercise Price and the average closing sale price for the common shares over the five trading days immediately preceding the Exercise Date. At expiration, the Company may elect to settle the warrants on a net share basis, provided certain conditions are satisfied. As of June 30, 2004, there have been no exercises of warrants and all warrants issued remain outstanding. The Company down streamed $10.0 million of the proceeds from this private placement to the Bank to support the continued growth of the Bank, and the remaining proceeds will be used by the Company for general corporate purposes.

During July 2004, the Company filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission to register all of the shares of common stock issued in the private placement and the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants.

Note #9 – Subsequent Event

On July 21, 2004, the Company announced an increase in its quarterly cash dividend to $0.06 per share, payable on August 23, 2004, to shareholders of record as of August 13, 2004. In addition, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a 2 for 1 stock split payable on August 30, 2004 to shareholders of record on August 20, 2004. The stock split will require a retroactive restatement of all historical per share data. Therefore, all shares and per share data have been adjusted to reflect this event.

ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is intended to provide a better understanding of the significant changes in trends relating to the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and interest rate sensitivity. The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Company’s quarterly unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements, and notes thereto, contained earlier in this Report.

Management’s discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations are based upon the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principals generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, management evaluates their estimates including those related to allowance for loan losses and the value of carried securities. Management bases their estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Business and Organization

Vineyard National Bancorp

The Company is a California-chartered bank holding company that commenced business in December 1988 when it acquired all of the voting stock of Vineyard Bank, a California-chartered commercial bank. The Bank commenced business in September 1981 as a national banking association and converted to a California bank charter and took its present name in August 2001. The Bank operates under the supervision of the California Department of Financial Institutions and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

At June 30, 2004, the Company had consolidated total assets of $1.2 billion, total deposits of $804.5 million and consolidated stockholders’ equity of $58.8 million. The Company’s common stock is publicly traded on the Nasdaq National Market under the symbol “VNBC.”

Vineyard Bank

The Bank, which is the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, is primarily involved in attracting deposits from individuals and businesses and using those deposits, together with borrowed funds, to originate and invest in various types of loans and investment securities. The Bank operates nine full-service banking centers located in each of the communities of Rancho Cucamonga, Chino, Diamond Bar, La Verne, Crestline, Lake Arrowhead, Irwindale, Manhattan Beach and Corona, all of which are located within Los Angeles, Riverside and San Bernardino counties in California, and currently has two Small Business Administration (“SBA”) loan production offices located in San Diego and Anaheim, California and an income-property loan production office located in Irvine, California. The Rancho Cucamonga office also serves as the Company’s headquarters.

The Bank’s Strategic Plan

Since the hiring of its current president and chief executive officer in October 2000, the Bank has experienced significant growth pursuant to the execution of its strategic business plan, which emphasizes growth through the expansion of its lending products and deposit services. As the Bank has implemented its growth strategy, it has added additional executive management personnel with developed business banking and service skills, concentrating on a sales and service approach to its banking business. The Bank’s management team has focused its efforts into developing a customer-oriented service philosophy, while expanding the Bank’s lending products by creating various specialty lending groups. The Bank believes that expanding many of its existing relationships will prove to be an effective source of new business opportunities. The Bank is focused on providing relationship banking services to the following markets: (i) the Inland Empire region of Southern California, which primarily includes San Bernardino and Riverside counties, (ii) the coastal communities surrounding Los Angeles, California, and (iii) the San Gabriel Valley region of Los Angeles. The Bank has targeted these markets because of its experience and knowledge of, as well as the anticipated continued growth and potential for development in, these markets.

Expanded Product Offering. During the last three years, the Bank has emphasized the growth of its commercial loan portfolio and has augmented its traditional commercial and residential loans and services with several specialty lending and depository services.


	14

In 2001, the Bank began originating high-end market single-family construction loans within the coastal community of Los Angeles County, California (primarily Manhattan Beach, Hermosa Beach, Palos Verdes and Redondo Beach) where it believes it has a competitive advantage based on the Bank’s familiarity and knowledge of the market. These types of construction loans typically range from $1.0 million to $2.5 million. The Bank’s single-family residential coastal construction loans amounted to $298.2 million and $212.7 million at June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively.
In 2002, the Bank began originating single-family residential tract construction loans secured by newly constructed entry level homes. These loans are primarily originated within the Inland Empire of Southern California. These types of construction loans typically range from $3.0 million to $10.0 million. The Bank’s single-family residential tract construction loans amounted to $106.5 million and $104.5 million at June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively.
In 2002, the Bank also began originating SBA loans and religious loans, which are comprised of loans to churches and private schools, throughout its market area. SBA loans amounted to $14.4 million and $15.1 million at June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively. Religious loans amounted to $21.7 million and $15.9 million at June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively. The Bank anticipates increasing the origination of these types of loans.
In 2003, the Bank established an income-property lending division to service the growing markets for commercial real estate and apartments in Southern California. Commercial real estate loans generated from this division typically range from $2.0 million to $10.0 million, while apartment loans typically range from $0.5 million to $5.0 million. The outstanding balance of loans generated from this division amounted to $26.0 million and $2.4 million for commercial real estate loans and $172.4 million and $19.6 million for residential real estate loans at June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively. The increase in residential real estate loans during the six months ended June 30, 2004 is primarily due to the purchase of an apartment loan pool in the amount of $85.0 million.
The Bank’s core deposit franchise is built around the community banking system. In order to expand the Bank’s core deposit franchise, the Bank has focused on offering competitive interest rate products and providing value-added consumer services by introducing additional products and services. Each of the Bank’s nine full-service banking centers has a business plan catering specifically to the needs of consumers in that banking center market. Based on the demographics of the target market, each banking center tailors its offering of financial services and products for its customer base. Business deposits have been pursued by offering an expanded courier network, by introduction of cash management products and by specific targeting of small business customers. The Company’s expansion effort has resulted in deposit growth of 33.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 109.8% for the year ended December 31, 2003. Consolidated total deposits a mounted to $804.5 million and $603.3 million at June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively. Non-interest bearing demand deposits amounted to $112.7 million and $94.2 million at June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively.

Each of the foregoing specialty lending groups and depository services bring diversity to the Bank’s existing product lines, offering its customers greater flexibility while providing additional opportunities for the Bank to serve new customers within its primary market areas. The Bank’s growth in loans, net of unearned income and deferred fees, was 57.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 135.7% for the year ended December 31, 2003.

Relationship Banking. The Company continues to emphasize the relationship banking focus that was initiated in 2001. The Company continues to seek and retain experienced banking professionals with developed banking and service skills who share its customer-oriented service philosophy. The Company believes that relationship banking is best delivered in well-appointed and efficient banking centers that provide the appropriate tools and environment for its customers. To that end, the Bank’s facilities are being redesigned to incorporate user-friendly technology and personal service to facilitate its focus on relationship banking.

Strategic Expansion. The Company has experienced significant growth over the last three years in its branch network and its asset size. The Bank opened a new banking center in Corona, California during the second quarter of 2003 and converted its loan production office in Manhattan Beach, California into a full-service banking center during the fourth quarter of 2003. In addition, the Bank opened an additional loan production office in Irvine, California during the third quarter of 2003. The Company’s acquisition of Southland Bank was consummated in July 2003. As a result of the acquisition, the Company acquired a banking center in Irwindale, California.

In early 2004, the Bank opened a new SBA loan production office in Anaheim, California and entered into a lease commencing in October 2004 in Corona, California to support its infrastructure and house its administration including credit administration, central operations, data center, training facilities, amongst other departments. In addition to the Corona lease, the Company entered into a lease agreement for an office building in San Rafael, California, as part of the Company's strategic plan to facilitate administrative office functions in that local region. Additionally, in early 2004, the Bank relocated its banking center located in Blue Jay, California to Lake Arrowhead, California. These locations were selected to support the Company’s significant growth and are aligned with its strategic expansion.

Asset Growth. The Company’s total assets as of June 30, 2004 were $1.2 billion as compared to $887.8 million as of December 31, 2003. The Company believes it can grow its assets while maintaining its asset quality. The Company’s lending professionals are well experienced and follow policies and procedures that it believes provide for a rigorous underwriting of all loans originated by the Bank. At June 30, 2004, the Company had $0.2 million of non-performing loans and no other real estate owned. At December 31, 2003, the Company had $0.2 million of non-performing loans and $0.1 million of other real estate owned.

Results of Operations

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, operating results demonstrated a significant growth over the same periods in 2003 as the volume of earning assets increased. The growth in the Company’s earning assets is funded by growth in deposits, increased borrowings, and issuances of common stock and junior subordinated debentures.


	15

Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 was $3.3 million and $1.8 million, respectively, representing an increase of 79.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2004 as compared to the same period in 2003. Net income increased 102.5% over the six months ended June 30, 2004 as compared to the same period in 2003, as net income for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 was $6.3 million and $3.1 million, respectively. The increase in net income was primarily due to an increase in interest income generated from a higher level of loans which was partially offset by an increase in interest expense incurred from a higher level of deposits and a higher provision for possible loan losses. On a per diluted share basis, net income was $0.37 and $0.28 for the three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, and $0.71 and $0.47 for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Prior period earnings per share were adjusted for the Company’s July 2004 decla ration of a 2 for 1 stock split payable in August 2004 and 5% stock dividends paid in January 2003 and January 2004.

The Company’s net interest income before provision for possible loan losses increased by $7.0 million or 116.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2004 as compared with the same period in 2003. Non-interest income decreased by $1.1 million or 55.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2004 as compared to the same period in 2003. Thus, total net revenue (defined as net interest income before provision for possible loan losses and non-interest income) for the three months ended June 30, 2004 increased by $5.9 million or 73.9% as compared to the same period in 2003.

The Company’s net interest income before provision for possible loan losses increased by $13.6 million or 129.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2004 as compared with the same period in 2003. Non-interest income decreased by $0.8 million or 24.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2004 as compared to the same period in 2003. Thus, total net revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2004 increased by $12.8 million or 92.5% as compared to the same period in 2003.

Total non-interest expense was $6.6 million and $3.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively, and $12.6 million and $6.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. This represents an increase of $3.0 million or 83.2% and $5.7 million or 83.2% for the three months and six month periods, respectively. The largest item contributing to non-interest expense was salaries and employee benefits which represented approximately 50% of total non-interest expense for each of the periods. The Company continues to hire additional personnel to support its growth. The Company’s efficiency ratio, which is a measure of non-interest expense divided by net interest income before provision for possible loan losses plus non-interest income, increased from 45.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2003 to 47.8% for the same period in 2004. The efficiency ratio decreased from 49.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2003 to 47 .2% for the same period in 2004.

For the three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, the provision for federal and state income taxes was $2.3 million and $1.3 million, respectively. The provision for federal and state income taxes was $4.3 million and $2.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. These provisions for income taxes represent an effective tax rate of 40.9% for all periods.

The quality of the Company’s loan portfolio continued to perform well, sustaining only $0.2 million in net charge-offs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 and approximately $3,000 and $13,000 in net recoveries for the same periods in 2003, respectively. The Company’s continued growth of its loan portfolio necessitated an increase in its provision made to the allowance for possible loan losses in the amount of $1.7 million and $3.5 million for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2004, respectively, as compared to $1.3 million and $1.8 million for the same periods in 2003, respectively. The allowance for possible loan losses was $10.8 million or 1.1% of gross loans at June 30, 2004 as compared to $4.8 million or 1.2% of gross loans at June 30, 2003. At June 30, 2004, the Company had $0.2 million of non-performing loans and no other real estate owned. At December 31, 2003, the Company had $0.2 million of non-performing loans and $0.1 m illion of other real estate owned.

Net Interest Income

The Company’s earnings are derived predominately from net interest income, which is the difference between the interest income earned on interest-earning assets, primarily loans and securities, and the interest expense incurred on interest-bearing liabilities, primarily deposits and borrowings. The net interest margin is the net interest income divided by the average interest-earning assets. Net interest income and net interest margin are affected by several factors including (1) the level of, and the relationship between, the dollar amount of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities; (2) the relationship between repricing or maturity of the Company’s variable rate and fixed rate loans and securities, and its deposits and borrowings; and (3) the magnitude of the Company’s non-interest earning assets, including non-accrual loans and other real estate loans.

Beginning in early 2001, the Company began to implement an asset/liability management strategy that was built around the risk elements of interest rate, asset duration and funding risks. A component of this strategy was to deploy excess liquidity previously invested in lower yielding earning assets into higher yielding earning assets. During the past three years, the Company has deployed its excess liquidity previously invested in federal funds into mortgage-backed securities with relatively shorter duration and higher cash flow components. The investment portfolio is classified as available-for-sale and securities can be sold at any time. Accordingly, investment securities increased significantly as compared to three years ago. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, investment securities decreased as excess liquidity was shifted to higher yielding loans. The Company will continue to adjust/refine its asset/liability management strategy to minimize int erest rate risk and maximize its net interest margin.

Total interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 was $18.1 million and $8.6 million, respectively, while total interest expense was $5.1 million and $2.6 million for the same periods, respectively. Therefore, the net interest income was $13.0 million and $6.0 million, respectively, for the same periods.


	16

Total interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 was $33.2 million and $15.2 million, respectively, while total interest expense was $9.1 million and $4.7 million for the same periods, respectively. Therefore, the net interest income was $24.1 million and $10.5 million, respectively, for the same periods.

The net interest margin for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 was 4.8% for both periods as compared to 4.7% for the same periods in 2003, which represents increases of 10 basis points as the cost of funds decreased.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, the national prime rate (the “prime rate”) averaged 4.25%. For the same periods ended June 30, 2004, the prime rate was an average 4.00% which represents a 25 basis point decrease. As new loans are generated or certain existing loans are repriced, the new loans bear lower interest rates due to the declining interest rate environment. The loan fees generated by new loans, which are deferred and amortized over the life of the loans, partially offset the decrease in loan yields. Construction loans and commercial real estate loans generate the majority of loan fee income. As the Company continues to emphasize single-family coastal and tract home construction loans, the volume of construction fees has increased significantly for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003. Construction loans generally have a duration of 12 months and as the level of construction loans continues to grow, the yield on th e loan portfolio increases. For the three months ended June 30, 2004, loan fee income represented $2.4 million or 14.6% of the $16.2 million in interest and fees on loans. For the three months ended June 30, 2003, loan fee income was $1.0 million or 14.3% of the $6.8 million in interest and fees on loans. For the six months ended June 30, 2004, loan fee income represented $4.7 million or 16.0% of the $29.2 million in interest and fees on loans. For the six months ended June 30, 2003, loan fee income was $1.6 million or 13.1% of the $12.1 million in interest and fees on loans.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, the Company has experienced a decrease in its yield on each type of interest-earning assets as a result of the declining interest rate environment of that period but was able to manage the overall yield on its total interest-earning assets by strategically deploying funds in higher yielding loans rather than lower yielding investment securities. As a result, yields on total interest-earning assets decreased nominally from 6.7% and 6.8% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, respectively, to 6.6% for the same periods in 2004. The Company’s average loan balances were 83.0% and 80.0% of total average interest-earning assets for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, respectively, as compared to 68.7% and 69.6% of total average interest-earning assets for the same periods in 2003, respectively.

Cost of funds decreased from 2.3% and 2.4% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, respectively, to 2.1% for the same periods in 2004, as a result of the declining interest rate environment of that period. Despite the declining interest rate environment, the Company continues to offer competitive-rate products in its banking communities to attract and retain core-deposit customers while reducing the cost of funds.

Interest expense on deposits totaled $3.6 million and $6.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, respectively, as compared to $1.9 million and $3.4 million for the same periods in 2003, respectively, representing increases of $1.7 million and $3.2 million, respectively. The decrease in interest rates partially offset the increase in interest expense associated with an increase in the Company’s interest-bearing deposits. Average non-interest bearing deposits increased from $63.4 million and $61.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, respectively to $112.5 million and $105.9 million for the same periods in 2004, respectively.

The average interest rate on Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) and other borrowings decreased from 1.7% and 1.8% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, respectively, to 1.5% and 1.4% for the same periods ended June 30, 2004, respectively, as interest rates decreased during that period as discussed above.

To support the Bank’s growth, the Company also issued debt securities. The cost of funds for the debt securities is generally higher than the costs of funds from deposits and FHLB borrowings. In May 2004, March 2004, December 2003, September 2003, December 2002 and December 2001, the Company issued junior subordinated debentures of $12.4 million, $10.3 million, $10.3 million, $10.3 million, $5.2 million and $12.4 million through the Trusts, respectively. Additionally, the Company issued $5.0 million in subordinated debt in December 2002. These debt securities bear variable interest rates indexed to LIBOR and adjust on a quarterly basis. The Company also has a $5.0 million outstanding balance under a $20.0 million credit facility with a correspondent bank as of June 30, 2004.

(4) Net interest margin is computed by dividing net interest income by total average earning assets.

Provision for Possible Loan Losses

For the three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, the provision for possible loan losses was $1.7 million and $1.3 million, respectively. Total provision for possible loan losses was $3.5 million for the six months period ended June 30, 2004 compared to $1.8 million for the same period in 2003. Provision for possible loan losses was increased to support the increasing loan balances for the periods as well as to reflect the inherent risks of construction and commercial loans.

The Company’s allowance for possible loan losses was $10.8 million and $7.5 million at June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively. Additions to the allowance are affected through the provision for possible loan losses. Also affecting the allowance are loans charged off and loans recovered. Net loan charge-offs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 were $0.2 million as compared to net loan recoveries of approximately $3,000 and $13,000 for the same periods in 2003, respectively. The increase in net loan charge-offs is directly correlated to the higher loan balance as of June 30, 2004 as compared to June 30, 2003.


	19

Although the Company maintains an allowance for possible loan losses at a level it considers to be adequate to provide for losses, based on presently known conditions, there can be no assurance that such losses will not exceed the estimated amounts, thereby adversely affecting future results of operations. The calculation for the adequacy of the allowance for possible loan losses, and therefore the requisite amount of the provision for possible loan losses, is based on several factors, including market condition, underlying loan collateral, delinquency trends, borrowers’ cash flow and historic loan loss experience. All of these factors can change without notice based on market and economic conditions and other factors beyond controls of management.

Non-Interest Income

Non-interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 was $0.9 million and $2.0 million, respectively. This represents a decrease of $1.1 million or 55.3%. Non-interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 was $2.5 million and $3.3 million, respectively. This represents a decrease of $0.8 million or 24.0%. The decrease in non-interest income was primarily due to a decrease in net gains from sale of investment securities, which was partially offset by an increase in fees and service charges relating to loans and deposit accounts.

The Company generally sells the guaranteed portions of SBA loans originated. Those SBA loans sold, combined with broker fee income associated with SBA loans, generated gains amounting to $0.4 million and $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Gain on SBA loan sales and broker fee income totaled $1.3 million and $1.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

Income from fees and service charges was $0.5 million and $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively, and $0.9 million and $0.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The increase in income from fees and service charges is primarily due to the increased volume of loans and deposits.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, net gains from the sale of investment securities amounted to $0 and $0.2 million, respectively, and totaled $1.0 million and $1.6 million for the same periods in 2003, respectively. The Company determined not to sell any investments during the second quarter of 2004, thereby decreasing the gain on sale of investment securities.

Non-Interest Expenses

The Company’s non-interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 was $6.6 million and $3.6 million, respectively. This represents an increase of $3.0 million or 83.2%. For the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, non-interest amounted to $12.6 million and $6.9 million, respectively, representing an increase of $5.7 million or 83.2%. Non-interest expense consists primarily of (i) salaries and employee benefits, (ii) occupancy expense, (iii) furniture and equipment expenses, and (iv) marketing, office supplies, postage and telephone, insurance, data processing, professional fees, administrative and other non-interest expense.

Salaries and employee benefits is the largest component of non-interest expense. Beginning with the appointment of the Company’s current Chief Executive Officer in the fourth quarter of 2000, management has implemented several structural changes within the operations of the Company in order to support its strategic plan initiatives. In each of the following areas, a seasoned and experienced individual has been recruited from other local financial institutions to head their respective area: credit administration, loan operations and construction support, single family residential construction business development, marketing, information technology, community banking, finance and human resources. Additional personnel have been placed in business development capacities for commercial and community banking. With the addition of these individuals to the Company’s existing perso nnel, the Company has been able to produce significant growth in deposits and loans in the past three years, while providing the infrastructure needed to support longer-term growth. These infrastructure changes have increased the Company’s salaries and employee benefits expense by $1.7 million or 94.8% to $3.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004 as compared to the same period in 2003 and by $3.1 million or 88.6% to $6.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 as compared to the same period in 2003.

Occupancy expense amounted to $0.6 million and $1.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, respectively, in comparison to $0.3 million and $0.5 million for the same periods in 2003. This represents an increase of $0.3 million or 87.5% and $0.6 million or 101.7% over the same prior periods, respectively. The increase in occupancy expense is primarily due to the Company’s expansion. The Bank opened a banking center in Corona, California during the second quarter of 2003 and converted its loan production office in Manhattan Beach, California into a full-service banking center in the fourth quarter of 2003. In the third quarter of 2003, the Bank opened a loan production office in Irvine, California and acquired a banking center in Irwindale, California from an acquisition. In addition, the lease for the Beverly Hills SBA loan production office was replaced by a n ew lease for an office located in Anaheim, California in the first quarter of 2004. Additionally, in early 2004, the Company entered into a lease agreement for an office building in San Rafael, California, as part of the Company's strategic plan to facilitate administrative office functions in that local region.

As the Company continues to expand its banking network, expenses related to furniture and fixtures also increased. Expenses related to furniture and fixtures were $0.6 million and $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively, which represents an increase of $0.3 million or 119.8% over the prior period. Furniture and fixture expenses amounted to $1.0 million and $0.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. This represents an increase of $0.5 million or 122.5% over the prior period.


	20

Other non-interest expense was $2.0 million and $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. This represents an increase of $0.7 million or 58.8% over the prior period. Other non-interest expense was $3.8 million and $2.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. This represents an increase of $1.5 million or 62.9% over the prior period. The increase is due primarily to the Company’s implementation of its strategy to grow its business. All categories of other non-interest expense increased, including marketing, data processing, professional services, office supplies, insurance, telephone and administrative expenses due to the increases in the number of employees and the volume of loan and deposit production.

The following is a breakdown of other non-interest expense for the six and three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003:

Financial Condition

Assets

At June 30, 2004, total assets increased $267.4 million or 30.1% to $1.2 billion from $887.8 million at December 31, 2003. Assets were comprised primarily of $939.9 million in loans, net of unearned income, and $157.4 million in investment securities, available-for-sale at June 30, 2004. This represents an increase of $342.9 million or 57.4% in loans, net of unearned income, and a decrease of $44.7 million or 22.1% in investment securities, available-for-sale from December 31, 2003. The increase in loans was further offset by a decrease of $39.4 million in federal funds sold between December 31, 2003 and June 30, 2004.

Included in stockholders’ equity at December 31, 2003 is $3.1 million of net unrealized losses, net of tax benefits, on investment securities, available-for-sale.

Securities with fair value of $155.4 million and $200.1 million at June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively, were pledged to secure public monies as required by law and FHLB borrowings.

Loans

The Company continued to experience significant growth in its loan portfolio during the second quarter of 2004. Loans, net of unearned income, increased by $342.9 million or 57.4% from $597.0 million at December 31, 2003 to $939.9 million at June 30, 2004. Almost all of the Bank's loans, commitments, and commercial and standby letters of credit have been granted to customers in the Company's market area, which includes Riverside, San Diego, San Bernardino and Los Angeles counties in California. The concentrations of credit by type of loan are set forth below:

During the six months ended June 30, 2004, the income-property lending division purchased an apartment loan pool in the amount of $85.0 million which contributed to the increase in multi-family residential real estate mortgage loans.

The Bank originates SBA loans and generally sells the guaranteed portion of SBA loans to governmental agencies and institutional investors. At June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, SBA loans totaled $14.4 million and $15.1 million, respectively, net of unpaid principal balance of SBA loans sold in the amount of $20.5 million and $12.9 million, respectively.

The Company retains servicing rights to the SBA loans sold and records servicing rights and interest-only strip receivables (collectively, “servicing rights”) related to the loans sold. The balance of capitalized servicing rights included in Other Assets on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet at June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, was $1.1 million and $0.8 million, respectively. The fair values of these servicing rights approximate their book values respectively.

The following summarizes servicing rights capitalized and amortized for the periods indicated:

The Bank had approximately $259.6 million and $67.5 million in loans pledged to secure FHLB borrowings at June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively.

Allowance for Possible Loan Losses

The allowance for possible loan losses is maintained at a level which, in management's judgment, is adequate to absorb credit losses inherent in the Company’s loan portfolio. The amount of the allowance is based on management's evaluation of the collectibility of the loan portfolio, including the nature of the portfolio, credit concentrations, trends in historical loss experience, specific impaired loans and economic conditions. The allowance is increased by a provision for possible loan losses, which is charged to expense and reduced by charge-offs, net of recoveries.

Transactions in the reserve for possible loan losses are summarized as follows for the periods indicated:

(Dollars in Thousands)	Six months ended			Year ended
	June 30, 2004			December 31, 2003

Balance, beginning of year	$	7,537		$	3,003

Loans charged off		(317	)		(143	)
Provision charged to operating expense		3,483			3,710

Balance, end of period	$	10,775		$	7,537

The provisions of SFAS No. 114 and SFAS No. 118 permit the valuation allowance for possible loan losses to be determined on a loan-by-loan basis or by aggregating loans with similar risk characteristics. The Bank considers a loan to be impaired when it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect all amounts due (principal and interest) according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Measurement of impairment is based on the expected future cash flows of an impaired loan which are to be discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, or measured by reference to an observable market value, if one exists, or the fair value of the collateral for a collateral-dependent loan. The Bank selects the measurement method on a loan-by-loan basis except that collateral-dependent loans for which foreclosure is probable are measured at the fair value of the collateral.

Deposits

Deposits represent the Bank’s primary source of funds for funding the Bank’s loan activities. The Bank increased its deposits by $201.2 million or 33.4% from $603.3 million at December 31, 2003 to $804.5 million at June 30, 2004. The increase was primarily due to an increase of $85.4 million or 36.0% in money market accounts and an increase of $97.9 million or 42.6% in time deposits (“TCD’s”) over the period.

As of June 30, 2004, the Company’s deposits were comprised of 14.0% in non-interest bearing deposits, 45.2% in money market, NOW and savings deposits, and 40.8% in TCD’s, while the composition of deposits was 17.1%, 45.8% and 37.1%, respectively, at December 31, 2003.

Borrowings

The Company utilizes borrowings as a source of funds, such as FHLB advances, federal funds purchased, issuances of junior subordinated debentures and lines of credit.

In March 2004, the Company obtained a $15.0 million line of credit and a $5.0 million offering line of credit (collectively, the “credit facility”) with a correspondent bank. The $5.0 million offering line of credit is at the discretion of the correspondent bank at the time of request for funding by the Company. There was a $5.0 million outstanding balance under the credit facility as of June 30, 2004. In addition, the Bank has $51.0 million of unsecured borrowing lines with five correspondent banks. Under these borrowing lines, the Bank had no federal funds purchased at June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003.

The Bank has an advance line with FHLB that allows the Bank to borrow up to 40% of the Bank’s total assets as of June 30, 2004. Pursuant to the collateral agreement with FHLB, advances are secured by capital stock investment in FHLB, certain investment securities and certain eligible loans. FHLB advances were $208.0 million and $182.0 million at June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively. The increase in FHLB advances was part of the Company’s strategic plan to fund the growth of earning assets. FHLB advances consisted of the following as of June 30, 2004:

(Dollars in Thousands)	Weighted
	Average
Maturity	Rate			Amount

2004	1.3	%	$	158,000
2005	1.6	%		35,000
2006	2.6	%		15,000

	1.4	%	$	208,000

In May and March 2004, the Company issued $12.4 million and $10.3 million of junior subordinated debentures through Vineyard Statutory Trust VI and Vineyard Statutory Trust V, respectively, which increased the total junior subordinated debentures balance from $38.1 million at December 31, 2003 to $60.8 million at June 30, 2004. See Note #2 in Item 1 herein. Junior subordinated debentures as of June 30, 2004 consisted of the following:

(Dollars in Thousands)		Effective Interest Rate
	Maturity	as of June 30, 2004			Amount

Vineyard Statutory Trust I	December 18, 2031	4.7	%	$	12,372

Vineyard Statutory Trust VI	July 23, 2034	4.1	%		12,372

				$	60,829

Additionally, in December 2002, the Company issued $5.0 million in subordinated debt which bears a floating rate of interest of 3.05% over the three month LIBOR and has a fifteen-year maturity with quarterly interest payments. The outstanding balance of this subordinated debt was $5.0 million at June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003.

Stockholders’ Equity

Stockholders’ equity was $58.8 million and $52.2 million at June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively. The increase in stockholders’ equity was due primarily to a capital issuance of $15.2 million, net of fees and expenses, and net income for the six months ended June 30, 2004 of $6.3 million, which was partially offset by comprehensive loss for the same period of $3.1 million, Series A Preferred Stock redemption costs of $2.5 million, Series B Preferred Stock redemption and conversion costs of approximately $75,000, and open-market purchases of 149,000 shares of common stock by the ESOP. For descriptions of the capital issuance, preferred stock redemptions, and ESOP funding, see Notes #8, #7, and #6 in Item 1 herein, respectively.


	25

Liquidity

The Company relies on asset-liability management to assure adequate liquidity and to maintain an appropriate balance between interest sensitive earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Liquidity management involves the ability to meet the cash flow requirements of customers. Typical demands on liquidity are withdrawals from demand deposits and savings accounts, maturing time deposits, which are not renewed, and anticipated funding under credit commitments to customers. Interest rate sensitivity management seeks to avoid fluctuating interest margins to enhance consistent growth of net interest income through periods of changing interest rates.

The Bank’s Asset-Liability Management Committee manages the Company’s liquidity position, the parameters of which are approved by the Board of Directors. The liquidity position of the Bank is monitored daily. The Bank’s loan to deposits and borrowings ratio was 92.2% and 75.4% at June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively.

Management believes the level of liquid assets at the Bank is sufficient to meet current and anticipated funding needs. The liquidity contingency process outlines authorities and a reasonable course of action in case of unexpected liquidity needs. As of June 30, 2004, the Company has a $5.0 million outstanding balance on its $20.0 million of credit facility with a correspondent bank and no outstanding balance on its $51.0 million of unsecured borrowing lines with five correspondent banks. In addition, the Bank has an advance line with FHLB which allows the Bank to borrow up to 40% of the Bank’s total assets. As of June 30, 2004, the Bank has a total borrowing capacity from FHLB of approximately $460.1 million and an outstanding advance balance of $208.0 million. The FHLB advance line is collateralized by the Company’s capital stock investment in FHLB, investment securities and eligible loans.

Capital Resources

In the first quarter of 2004, the Company entered into a ten-year lease commencing in October 2004 for an office located in Corona, California to house its administrative functions. Under the terms of the lease, the Company has an option to purchase the premises any time during the second year of the lease. Other than this lease, the Company or the Bank does not have any other significant commitments for capital expenditures as of June 30, 2004.

During June 2004, the Company sold 400,000 shares of its common stock to institutional investors through a private placement, which raised $15.2 million in additional capital, net of fees and expenses. The Company also granted the investors warrants to purchase up to 80,000 additional shares of common stock. The warrants, which expire on June 21, 2011, have an exercise price of $50.00. As of June 30, 2004, no warrants had been exercised. As of June 30, 2004, assuming retroactive adjustment of the 2 for 1 stock split, declared in July 2004 and payable in August 2004, there are 160,000 warrants outstanding with an exercise price of $25.00 per share. The Company down streamed $10.0 million of the proceeds from this private placement to the Bank to support the continued growth of the Bank, and the remaining proceeds will be used by the Company for general corporate purposes.

The Company (on a consolidated basis) and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by federal and state 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 financial condition or operating results of the Company and the Bank. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, as applicable, the Company and the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Company’s and the Bank's assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Company’s and the Bank's capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors. Prompt corrective action pro visions are not applicable to bank holding companies.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) 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 June 30, 2004, that the Company and the Bank meet all applicable capital adequacy requirements.

As of the most recent formal notification from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Bank was categorized as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. Pursuant to regulatory guidelines under prompt corrective action rules, a bank must have total risk-based capital of 10% or greater, Tier 1 capital of 6% or greater and a leverage ratio of 5% or greater to be considered “well capitalized” (see table on the following page). At June 30, 2004, the Bank’s total risk-based capital, Tier 1 capital and leverage ratios were 13.0%, 12.0% and 11.3%, respectively. On a consolidated basis, the Company has similar ratios. The minimum ratios that the Company must meet are total risk-based capital of 8%, Tier 1 capital of 4% and a leverage ratio of 4%. At June 30, 2004, the Company’s total risk-based capital, Tier 1 capital and leverage ratios were 13.0%, 8.0%, and 7.5%, respectively.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company’s business is subject to general economic risks that could adversely impact its operating results and financial condition.

Changes in economic conditions, particularly an economic slowdown in California, could hurt the Company’s business. The Company’s business is directly affected by political and market conditions, broad trends in industry and finance, legislative and regulatory changes, changes in governmental monetary and fiscal policies and inflation, all of which are beyond the Company’s control. Deterioration in economic conditions, in particular an economic slowdown within California, could result in the following consequences, any of which could hurt the Company’s business materially:

loan delinquencies may increase;
problem assets and foreclosures may increase;
demand for the Company’s products and services may decline; and
collateral for loans made by the Company, especially real estate, may decline in value, in turn reducing a client’s borrowing power, and reducing the value of assets and collateral associated with its loans held for investment.

A downturn in the California real estate market could hurt the Company’s business. The Company’s business activities and credit exposure are concentrated in California. A downturn in the California real estate market could hurt the Company’s business because many of its loans are secured by real estate located within California. As of June 30, 2004, approximately 95.0% of the Company’s loan portfolio consisted of loans secured by real estate located in California. If there is a significant decline in real estate values, especially in California, the collateral for the Company’s loans will provide less security. As a result, the Company’s ability to recover on defaulted loans by selling the underlying real estate would be diminished, and it would be more likely to suffer losses on defaulted loans. Real estate values in California could be affected by, among other things, earthquakes and other natural disasters particular to California. < /FONT>

The Company may suffer losses in its loan portfolio despite its underwriting practices. The Company seeks to mitigate the risks inherent in its loan portfolio by adhering to specific underwriting practices. These practices include analysis of a borrower’s prior credit history, financial statements, tax returns and cash flow projections, valuation of collateral based on reports of independent appraisers and verification of liquid assets. Although the Company believes that its underwriting criteria are appropriate for the various kinds of loans it makes, the Company may incur losses on loans that meet its underwriting criteria, and these losses may exceed the amounts set aside as reserves in its allowance for loan losses.

The Company’s business is subject to interest rate risk and variations in interest rates may negatively affect its financial performance.

Like other financial institutions, the Company’s operating results are largely dependent on its net interest income. Net interest income is the difference between interest income earned on interest-earning assets and interest expense incurred on interest-bearing liabilities. The Company’s net interest income is impacted by changes in market rates of interest, the interest rate sensitivity of its assets and liabilities, prepayments on its loans and investment securities and limits on increases in the rates of interest charged on its loans. The Company expects that it will continue to realize income from the differential or “spread” between the interest income earned on loans, investment securities and other interest-earning assets, and interest expense incurred on deposits, borrowings and other interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest spreads are affected by the difference between the maturities and repricing characteristics of interest-earning assets and in terest-bearing liabilities.

The Company cannot control or accurately predict changes in market rates of interest. The following are some factors that may affect market interest rates, all of which are beyond the Company’s control:

inflation;
slow or stagnant economic growth or recession;
unemployment;
money supply and the monetary policies of the FRB;
international disorders; and
instability in domestic and foreign financial markets.

The Company is vulnerable to an increase in interest rates because its interest-earning assets generally have longer repricing terms than its interest-bearing liabilities. Under such circumstances, material and prolonged increases in interest rates will negatively affect the Company’s market value of equity. In addition, loan volume and yields are affected by market interest rates on loans, and rising interest rates generally are associated with a lower volume of loan originations. In addition, an increase in the general level of interest rates may adversely affect the ability of certain borrowers to pay the interest on and principal of their obligations. Accordingly, changes in levels of market interest rates could materially and adversely affect the Company’s net interest spread, asset quality, loan origination volume, securities portfolio and overall profitability. Although the Company attempts to manage its interest rate risk, the Company cannot assure you that it can minimize its interest rate risk.


	28

Interest Rates and Differentials

The Company’s earnings depend primarily upon the difference between the income it receives from its loan portfolio and investment securities and its cost of funds, principally interest expense incurred on savings, time deposits and borrowings. Interest rates charged on the Company’s 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 FRB.

Asset/Liability Management

The Bank earns income principally from the differential or spread between the interest income earned on loans, investments and other interest-earning assets, and the interest expense incurred on deposits, borrowings and other interest-bearing liabilities. The Bank, 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. The Bank’s primary objective in managing its interest rate risk is to minimize the adverse impact of changes in interest rates on the Bank’s net interest income and capital, while maintaining an asset-liability balance sheet mix that produces the most effective and efficient returns.

Interest rate sensitivity varies with different types of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. The Bank intends to maintain interest-earning assets, comprised primarily of loans and investments, and interest-bearing liabilities, comprised primarily of deposits, maturing or repricing in similar time horizons in order to minimize or eliminate any impact from interest rate changes.

A sudden and substantial increase or decrease in interest rates may adversely impact the Bank’s operating results to the extent that the interest rates associated with the assets and liabilities do not change at the same speed, to the same extent, or on the same basis. The Bank has adopted formal policies and practices to monitor its interest rate risk exposure. As a part of its risk management practices, the Bank uses the Economic Value of Equity (“EVE”) or Earnings at Risk (“EAR”) to monitor its interest rate risk.

The Bank's overall strategy is to minimize the adverse impact of immediate incremental changes in market interest rates (rate shock) on EVE and EAR. The EVE is defined as the present value of assets, minus the present value of liabilities. The EAR is defined as the net interest income, which is interest income less interest expense. The attainment of this goal requires a balance between profitability, liquidity and interest rate risk exposure. To minimize the adverse impact of changes in market interest rates, the Bank simulates the effect of instantaneous interest rate changes on EVE at period end and EAR over a one year horizon.

The table below shows the estimated impact of changes in interest rates on EVE and EAR at June 30, 2004, assuming shifts of 100 to 200 basis points in both directions:

(Dollars in Thousands)	Economic Value of Equity					Earnings at Risk

Simulated		Cumulative		Cumulative			Cumulative		Cumulative
Rate Changes		Dollar Change		Percentage Change			Dollar Change		Percentage Change

200	$	(17,243	)	-12.7	%	$	1,979		3.5	%
100	$	(9,688	)	-7.1	%	$	(668	)	-1.2	%
-100	$	9,918		7.3	%	$	3,581		6.4	%
-200	$	21,011		15.5	%	$	6,782		12.1	%

The amount and percentage changes represent the cumulative dollar and percentage change in each rate change scenario from the base case. These estimates are based upon a number of assumptions, including: the nature and timing of interest rate levels including yield curve, prepayments on loans and securities, pricing strategies on loans and deposits, replacement of asset and liability cash flows and other assumptions. While the assumptions used are based on current economic and local market conditions, there is no assurance as to the predictive nature of these conditions including how customer preferences or competitor influences might change.

The Company has established operating limits for changes in EVE and EAR in each rate change scenario from the base rate. The operating limits at June 30, 2004 decreased significantly as compared to December 31, 2003 primarily due to the significant growth in risk-weighted assets which in turn is primarily due to the growth in earning-assets. At June 30, 2004, the Company’s estimated changes in EVE and EAR were within the operating limits established by the Board of Directors for well-capitalized purposes. The Company will continue to monitor its interest rate risk through monitoring the relationship between capital and risk-weighted assets and the impact of changes in interest rates on EVE and EAR.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

As required by SEC Rule 13a-15(b), the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer along with the Company’s Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer along with the Company’s Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to the Company (including its consolidated subsidiary) required to be included in the Company’s periodic SEC filings.
