Pacific State Bancorp
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2004
1. CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In the opinion of management, the unaudited consolidated financial statements
contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments)
necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position of Pacific State
Bancorp (the "Company") at March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, and the results
of its operations and its cash flows for the three month periods ended March 31,
2004 and 2003.
Certain disclosures normally presented in the notes to the consolidated
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles 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 of operations for the three month period ended March 31, 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 and lease losses, the provision for
taxes and the estimated fair value of investment securities.
2. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
As of March 31, 2004, the Company had one stock-based employee compensation
plan, the Pacific State Bancorp 1997 Stock Option Plan. The Company accounts for
these plans under the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No.
25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations. No
stock-based employee compensation cost is reflected in net income, as all
options granted under these plans had an exercise price equal to the market
value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant.
Pro forma adjustments to the Company's consolidated net earnings and earnings
per share are disclosed during the years in which the options become vested. The
following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if
the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of FASB Statement
No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to stock-based employee
compensation.

3. EARNINGS PER SHARE COMPUTATION
Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted
average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share
reflect the potential dilution that could occur if outstanding stock options
were exercised. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by
the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period plus the dilutive
effect of options
4. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
Comprehensive income is reported in addition to net income for all periods
presented. Comprehensive income is made up of net income plus other
comprehensive income. Other comprehensive income, net of taxes, is comprised of
the unrealized gains on available-for-sale investment securities. The following
table shows comprehensive income and it's components for the periods indicated:

5. 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 $42,474,000 and letters of credit of $649,000
at March 31, 2004. However, all such commitments will not necessarily culminate
in actual extensions of credit by the Company during 2004.
Approximately $17,168,000 of the loan commitments outstanding at March 31, 2004
are for real estate loans and are expected to fund within the next twelve
months. The remaining commitments primarily relate to revolving lines of credit
or other commercial loans, and many of these are expected to expire without
being drawn upon. Therefore, the total commitments do not necessarily represent
future cash requirements. 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 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.
6. STOCK SPLIT
On September 18, 2003 the Company's board of directors declared a two-for-one
split of the authorized and outstanding common shares, payable to shareholders
of record on September 30, 2003. All references to share and per share data
included in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have
been restated as if the stock split was effected on the first day of all periods
presented.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS OF PACIFIC STATE BANCORP
The following is management's discussion and analysis of the significant changes
in Pacific State Bancorp (the "Company") balance sheet accounts between March
31, 2004 and December 31, 2003 and its income and expense accounts for the three
month period ended March 31, 2004 and 2003. The discussion is designed to
provide a better understanding of significant trends related to the Company's
financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital resources and
interest rate sensitivity.
In addition to the historical information contained herein, this report on Form
10-Q contains certain forward-looking statements. The reader of this report
should understand that all such forward-looking statements are subject to
various uncertainties and risks that could affect their outcome. The Company's
actual results could differ materially from those suggested by such
forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such
differences include, but are not limited to, variances in the actual versus
projected growth in assets, return on assets, loan losses, expenses, changes in
the interest rate environment including interest rates charged on loans, earned
on securities investments and paid on deposits, competition effects, fee and
other noninterest income earned, general economic conditions, nationally,
regionally and in the operating market areas of the Company and its
subsidiaries, changes in the regulatory environment, changes in business
conditions and inflation, changes in securities markets, data processing
problems, a decline in real estate values in the Company's market area, the
effects of terrorism, the threat of terrorism or the impact of potential
military conflicts and the conduct of the war on terrorism by the United States
and its allies, 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 the Company's annual report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003.
General Description of Business
Pacific State Bancorp is a holding company with one bank subsidiary, Pacific
State Bank, (the "Bank"), and two unconsolidated subsidiary guarantor trusts,
Pacific State Statutory Trusts I and II. Pacific State Bancorp commenced
operations on June 24, 2002 when it acquired all the then issued and outstanding
shares of Pacific State Bank under a plan of reorganization approved by the
Bank's shareholders on May 9, 2002. The Bank is a California state chartered
bank. The Bank is a member of the Federal Reserve System. The Bank's primary
source of revenue is providing loans to customers who are predominately small to
middle-market businesses and middle-income individuals. Pacific State Statuatory
Trusts I and II are unconsolidated, wholly owned statutory business trusts
formed in June 2002 and March 2004 for the exclusive purpose of issuing and
selling trust preferred securities.
The Bank has engaged since November 2, 1987 in a general commercial banking
business, primarily in Stockton and San Joaquin County, and offers commercial
banking services to residents and employers of businesses in the Bank's service
area, including professional firms and small to medium sized retail and
wholesale businesses and manufacturers. The Company as of March 15, 2004 had 60
employees, including 26 officers. The Bank does not engage in any non-bank lines
of business. The business of the Bank is not to any significant degree seasonal
in nature. The Bank has no operations outside California and has no material
amount of loans or deposits concentrated among any one or few persons, groups or
industries. The Bank's main office is located at 6 So. El Dorado Street, in
Stockton, California; additional branches are located elsewhere in Stockton and
in the communities of Angels Camp, Arnold, Groveland, Modesto and Tracy,
California.
Business Plan
The focus of the Company's business plan is to attract "middle market" accounts,
but not to the exclusion of any other business which the Company can reasonably
and profitably attract. In order to provide a level of service to attract such
customers, the Company has structured its specific services and charges on a
basis which management believes to be profitable, taking into consideration
other aspects of the account relationship. The Company offers a range of banking
services to its customers intended to attract the following specific types of
accounts: relatively large consumer accounts; professional group and association
accounts, including the accounts of groups or firms of physicians, dentists,
attorneys and accountants; and accounts of small to medium-sized businesses
engaged in retail, wholesale, light industrial and service activities.
7
Trust Subsidiaries
The Company during 2002 and 2004 established business trust subsidiaries (the
"Trusts") for the sole purpose of issuing capital securities ("Capital
Securities") pursuant to declarations of trust (the "Declarations"). The
proceeds from the sale of the Capital Securities were loaned to the Company
under deeply subordinated debentures (the "Debentures") issued to the Trusts
pursuant to indentures (the "Indentures"). Interest payments on the Debentures
will flow through the Trusts to the Pooling Vehicles, which are the holders of
the Capital Securities and similar securities issued by other financial
institutions. Payments of distributions by the Trusts to the Pooling Vehicle are
guaranteed by the Company. See note 8 in the company's consolidated financial
statement.
Proceeds from the issuance of the 2002 subordinated debentures were used to
provide the Bank with an additional $4.5 million in capital in order to support
the continued growth of the Bank. The remaining $500,000 was placed in the
Company for general corporate purposes. Proceeds from the issuance of the 2004
subordinated debentures were used to provide the Bank with an additional $3.5
million in capital in order to support the continued growth of the Bank.
Product Lines and Services
The Bank currently offers the following general banking services at all of its
branches: commercial, construction and real estate loans and personal credit
lines, interest on checking, U.S. Savings bond services, domestic and foreign
drafts, banking by appointment, automatic transfer of funds between savings and
checking accounts, business courier services, checking and savings accounts for
personal and business purposes, domestic letters of credit, a depository for
MasterCard and Visa drafts, federal depository services, cash management
assistance, wire and telephone transfers, travelers' checks, Individual
Retirement Accounts, time certificates of deposit, courier service for non-cash
deposits, Visa and MasterCard, revolving lines of credit to consumers secured by
deeds of trust on private residences, unsecured overdraft protection credit
lines attached to checking accounts, ATM cards and MasterMoney debit cards via
the Star, Cirrus, Plus, MasterCard and Visa networks.
The Bank is not authorized to offer trust services. The Federal Reserve Bank of
San Francisco is the Company's primary correspondent relationship. The Bank
currently also has correspondent relationships with City National Bank in
Beverly Hills, Bank of America in San Francisco, First Tennessee Bank in
Memphis, Tennessee, Compass Bank in Birmingham, Alabama, Wells Fargo Bank and
Pacific Coast Bankers Bank.
The Bank recognizes that, in order to be competitive, it must attract a certain
number of consumer accounts. Travelers checks, Individual Retirement Accounts,
Visa and MasterCard, revolving lines of credit to consumers secured by deeds of
trust on private residences, and unsecured overdraft protection credit lines
attached to checking accounts currently offered by the Bank are designed to
appeal particularly to consumers. Moreover, participation in a large-scale ATM
network assists the Company in competing for consumer accounts.
The Bank is an approved Small Business Administration and 504 lender, FarmerMac
I and II, USDA, USDA Part-time Farmer Program, FHA and VA lender and California
Capital lender. The Bank is a national leader in the underwriting of U.S.
Department of Agriculture business and industry loans, as well as, a Preferred
Lender for this program.
Critical Accounting Policies
General
The Company'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. A variety of factors
could affect the ultimate value that is obtained either when earning income,
recognizing an expense, recovering an asset or relieving a liability. 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.
8
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. The Company employs a comprehensive methodology for estimating inherent
losses consistent with SFAS 5 and SFAS 114; however, actual losses could vary
significantly from these estimates. For further discussion, see "Allowance for
Loan Losses (ALL)'.
Results of Operations
Period Ended March 31, 2004 Compared to Period Ended March 31, 2003
Net income for the three month period ended March 31, 2004, was $658,361
representing an increase of $252,387, or 62.17%, over net income of $405,974 for
the three month period ended March 31, 2003. A contributing factor to the
increase in net income was an increase in service charge income of 67.27%. The
increase in service charge income is the result of a new overdraft protection
product offered by the bank.
Return on average assets (ROA) was 1.31% and return on average common equity
(ROE) was 19.43% for the three month period ended March 31, 2004 compared with
0.90% and 14.05% respectively in 2003. Diluted earnings per share for 2004 and
2003 were $0.36 and $0.24, respectively, an increase of 50%. The increase in
earnings per share was due to the increase in net income.
Net Interest Income
The primary source of income for the Company is derived from net interest
income. Net interest income represents the excess of interest and fees earned on
interest-earning assets (loans, securities and federal funds sold) over the
interest paid on deposits and borrowed funds.
Net interest income increased to $2.4 million for the three month period in 2004
versus $1.8 million in 2003 representing a 31.9% increase. The average balance
of total earning assets during 2004 increased 8.6% to $181.2 million from $164.5
million. Average loan balances outstanding during 2004 increased $25.4 million
or 18.62%, Average balances of investments and federal funds sold decreased by
$11.3 million or 40.5%. The average yields on loans and federal funds sold in
2004 were lower by 17 and 11 basis points respectively, while the average yield
on securities decreased by 1.34 basis points.
Total interest expense decreased to $588,000 in 2004, from $753,000 for 2003,
representing a 21.9% decrease. Average balances of interest-bearing liabilities
increased to $138.2 million from $129.3 million for the period ended March 31,
2004, or 6.9%.
Average certificates of deposit increased to $81.8 million in 2004 from $72.9
million in 2003, a 12.2% increase. The average rate paid on certificates of
deposit during 2004 decreased 112 basis points, while the overall average rate
paid on interest bearing deposits and borrowings decreased 52 basis points to
1.17% from 1.69% for 2003.
The Company's net interest margin (net interest income divided by average
earning assets) was 4.75% in 2004 and 4.38% in 2003. The combined effect of the
increase in volume of earning assets and decrease in yield on earning assets,
coupled with stable funding sources resulted in an increase of $573,000 (31.9%)
in net interest income for the period ended March 31, 2004 over 2003.
Non interest Income
The Company's non-interest income consists primarily of service charges on
deposit accounts, gain on sale of loans and other service fees. Non-interest
income also includes ATM fees earned at various locations. For the three month
period ended March 31, 2004, non-interest income represented 13.75% of the
Company's revenues versus 17.39% in 2003. Historically, the Company's service
charges on deposit accounts have lagged peer levels for similar services.
9
Total non-interest income decreased to $471,000 for the three months ended March
31, 2004 over $536,000 million in 2003, representing a decrease of 12.1%.
The following table sets forth a summary of non-interest income for the periods
indicated.
---------- ----------

Non-interest Income:
Service Charges $ 254 $ 151

Total Non-interest Income $ 471 $ 536
========== ==========
Non-interest Expense
Non-interest expense consists of salaries and related employee benefits,
occupancy and equipment expenses, data processing fees, professional fees,
directors' fees and other operating expenses. Non-interest expense for the three
month period ended March 31, 2004 was $1.70 million compared to $1.58 million
for 2003 an increase of 8.0% for 2004. Increases in salaries and benefits are

Income Taxes
The Company's provision for income taxes includes both federal income and state
franchise taxes and reflects the application of federal and state statutory
rates to the Company's net income before taxes. The principal difference between
statutory tax rates and the Company's effective tax rate is the benefit derived
from investing in tax-exempt securities and bank owned life insurance. Increases
and decreases in the provision for taxes reflect changes in the Company's net
income before tax.
The following table reflects the Company's tax provision and the related
effective tax rate for the periods indicated.

Asset Quality
The Company concentrates its lending activities primarily within Calaveras, San
Joaquin, Stanislaus and Tuolumne Counties.
The Company manages its credit risk through diversification of its loan
portfolio and the application of underwriting policies and procedures and credit
monitoring practices. Although the Company has a diversified loan portfolio, a
significant portion of its borrowers' ability to repay the loans is dependent
upon the professional services and residential real estate development industry
sectors. Generally, the loans are secured by real estate or other assets and are
expected to be repaid from cash flows of the borrower or proceeds from the sale
of collateral.
The following table sets forth the amounts of loans outstanding by category as
of the dates indicated:

========== ==========
Net portfolio loans have increased $12.5 million or 8.01%, to $167.9 million at
March 31, 2004 over $155.5 million at December 31, 2003. Commercial and
agricultural loans have increased $8.4 million or 14.62%, real estate
construction projects have increased $3.6 million or 12.62%, real estate
commercial loans have decreased by $330,000.or 0.50% and installment loans have
increased by 928,000 or 8.57% over December 31, 2003. The portfolio mix remains
stable as compared with the mix of a year ago, with commercial and agricultural
loans of approximately 39.0% of total loans, real estate construction loans of
18.9%, commercial and residential real estate loans at 35.2%, and 6.9% for
installment loans.
The Company's practice is to place an asset on nonaccrual status when one of the
following events occurs:(i) Any installment of principal or interest is 90 days
or more past due (unless in management's opinion the loan is well-secured and in
the process of collection), (ii) management determines the ultimate collection
of principal or interest to be unlikely or iii) the terms of the loan have been
renegotiated due to a serious weakening of the borrower's financial condition.
Nonperforming loans are loans that are on nonaccrual, are 90 days past due and
still accruing or have been restructured.
There were no non-accrual loans or other real estate owned at March 31, 2004 and
December 31, 2003.
The Company assigns all loans a credit risk rating and monitors ratings for
accuracy. The aggregate credit risk ratings are used to determine the allowance
for loan losses. Management reviews the credit risk report with the Director
Loan Committee on a weekly basis as well as with the full Board monthly.
Allowance for Loan Losses (ALL)
In determining the amount of the Company's Allowance for Loan Losses ("ALL"),
management assesses the diversification of the portfolio. Each credit is
assigned a credit risk rating factor, and this factor, multiplied by the dollars
associated with the credit risk rating, is used to calculate one component of
the ALL. In addition, management estimates the probable loss on individual
credits that are receiving increased management attention due to actual or
perceived increases in credit risk.
11
The Company makes provisions to the ALL on a regular basis through charges to
operations that are reflected in the Company's statements of income as a
provision for loan losses. When a loan is deemed uncollectable, it is charged
against the allowance. Any recoveries of previously charged-off loans are
credited back to the allowance. There is no precise method of predicting
specific losses or amounts that ultimately may be charged-off on particular
categories of the loan portfolio. Similarly, the adequacy of the ALL and the
level of the related provision for possible loan losses is determined on a
judgment basis by management based on consideration of a number of factors
including (i) economic conditions, (ii) borrowers' financial condition, (iii)
loan impairment, (iv) evaluation of industry trends, (v) industry and other
concentrations, (vi) loans which are contractually current as to payment terms
but demonstrate a higher degree of risk as identified by management, (vii)
continuing evaluation of the performing loan portfolio, (viii) monthly review
and evaluation of problem loans identified as having a loss potential, (ix)
monthly review by the Board of Directors, (x) off balance sheet risks and (xi)
assessments by regulators and other third parties. Management and the Board of
Directors evaluate the allowance and determine its desired level considering
objective and subjective measures, such as knowledge of the borrowers'
businesses, valuation of collateral, the determination of impaired loans and
exposure to potential losses.
While management uses available information to recognize losses on loans, future
additions to the allowance may be necessary based on changes in economic
conditions and other qualitative factors. In addition, various regulatory
agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review
the Company's ALL. Such agencies may require the Company to provide additions to
the allowance based on their judgment of information available to them at the
time of their examination. There is uncertainty concerning future economic
trends. Accordingly it is not possible to predict the effect future economic
trends may have on the level of the provision for possible loan losses in future
periods.
The adequacy of the ALL is calculated upon three components. First is the credit
risk rating of the loan portfolio, including all outstanding loans and leases.
Every extension of credit has been assigned a risk rating based upon a
comprehensive definition intended to measure the inherent risk of lending money.
Each rating has an assigned risk factor expressed as a reserve percentage.
Central to this assigned risk factor is the historical loss record of the
Company. Secondly, established specific reserves are available for individual
loans currently on management's watch and high-grade loan lists. These are the
estimated potential losses associated with specific borrowers based upon the
collateral and event(s) causing the risk ratings. The third component is
unallocated. This reserve is for qualitative factors that may effect the
portfolio as a whole, such as those factors described above.
Management believes the assigned risk grades and our methods for managing risk
are satisfactory.
The provision for loan losses decreased to $90,000 for 2004 versus $122,000 in
2003. The decrease in the amount of the provision is a direct result of the
Company's in-depth analysis of the loan portfolio and the loan loss history of
the Company. Management does not believe that there were any trends indicated by
the detail of the aggregate charge-offs for any of the periods discussed.

Balance Sheet Analysis
Total assets increased by 5.05% from December 31, 2003 to March 31, 2004. The
increase in total assets was a result of an increase in deposits from $176.3
million to $181.8 million. Net loans during this period increased from $155.5
million to $167.9 million and investments increased from $12.1 million to $12.7
million.
Non-performing assets (including nonaccrual loans, loans 90 days past due and
other real estate owned) totaled $0.0 at March 31, 2004, compared to $0.0 on
December 31, 2003 and $349,000 on March 31, 2003. The ratio of non-performing
assets to total loans was nil at March 31, 2004, nil at December 31, 2003 and
..25% at March 31, 2003.
The allowance for loan losses was $1.74 million at March 31, 2004, compared to
$1.65 million at December 31, 2003 and $1.42 million at March 31, 2003. The
provision for loan losses was $90,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2004
versus $122,000 for the same period in 2003. Net charge-offs were nil for the
first three months of 2004, compared to $9,000 for the first three months of
2003.
Liquidity
The purpose of liquidity management is to ensure efficient and economical
funding of the Company's assets consistent with the needs of the Company's
depositors and, to a lesser extent, shareholders. This process is managed not by
formally monitoring the cash flows from operations, investing and financing
activities as described in the Company's statement of cash flows, but through an
understanding principally of depositor and borrower needs. As loan demand
increases, the Company can use asset liquidity from maturing investments along
with deposit growth to fund the new loans.
With respect to assets, liquidity is provided by cash and money market
investments such as interest-bearing time deposits, federal-funds sold,
available-for-sale investment securities, and principal and interest payments on
loans. With respect to liabilities, liquidity is provided by core deposits,
shareholders' equity and the ability of the Company to borrow funds and to
generate deposits.
Because estimates of the liquidity need of the Company may vary from actual
needs, the Company maintains a substantial amount of liquid assets to absorb
short-term increases in loans or reductions in deposits. As loan demand
decreases or loans are paid off, investment assets can absorb these excess funds
or deposit rates can be decreased to run off excess liquidity. Therefore, there
13
is some correlation between financing activities associated with deposits and
investing activities associated with lending. The Company's liquid assets (cash
and due from banks, federal funds sold, and available-for-sale investment
securities) totaled $25.3 million or 12.01% of total assets at March 31, 2004
compared to $28.7 million or 14.28% of total assets at December 31, 2003. The
Company expects that its primary source of liquidity will be earnings of the
Company, acquisition of core deposits, and wholesale borrowing arrangements.
Capital Resources
Capital adequacy is a measure of the amount of capital needed to sustain asset
growth and act as a cushion for losses. Capital protects depositors and the
deposit insurance fund from potential losses and is a source of funds for the
investments the Company needs to remain competitive. Historically, capital has
been generated principally from the retention of earnings.
Overall capital adequacy is monitored on a day-to-day basis by the Company's
management and reported to the Company's Board of Directors on a quarterly
basis. The Bank's regulators measure capital adequacy by using a risk-based
capital framework and by monitoring compliance with minimum leverage ratio
guidelines. Under the risk-based capital standard, assets reported on the
Company's balance sheet and certain off-balance sheet items are assigned to risk
categories, each of which is assigned a risk weight.
This standard characterizes an institution's capital as being "Tier 1" capital
(defined as principally comprising shareholders' equity) and "Tier 2" capital
(defined as principally comprising the qualifying portion of the ALLL).
The minimum ratio of total risk-based capital to risk-adjusted assets, including
certain off-balance sheet items, is 8%. At least one-half (4%) of the total
risk-based capital is to be comprised of Tier 1 capital; the balance may consist
of debt securities and a limited portion of the ALLL.
As of March 31, 2004 the most recent notification by the Federal Reserve Bank of
San Francisco (FRBSF) categorized the Company as well capitalized under the
regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well
capitalized the Company must meet the minimum ratios as set forth below. There
are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes
have changed the institution's category.
The Company's risk-based capital ratios are presented below.

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures.
The Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, based on
their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this report, of the
Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rule
13a--14(c15(e) or 15d-15(e))), have concluded that the Company's disclosure
controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be
disclosed by the Company in its periodic SEC filings is recorded, processed and
reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Based
upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer 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 subsidiaries) required to be included in the Company's periodic
SEC filings. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system
of disclosure controls and procedures, including cost limitations, judgments
used in decision making, assumptions regarding the likelihood of future events,
soundness of internal controls, fraud, the possibility of human error and the
circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even
effective disclosure controls and procedures can provide only reasonable, and
not absolute, assurance of achieving their control objectives.
There were no significant changes in the Company's internal controls or in other
factors that could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to the date
of their evaluation.
