The March 31, 2009 total assets represent a 2% increase over the $131.0 million in total assets at December 31, 2008.

�Our focus remains on building strong relationships with small to medium-sized businesses in our communities and we are pleased by the new relationships added in 2009. The on going economic challenges and stress on mega size financial instituitions reinforces the value of relationships with community banks and the importance of community banks to local communities,� said Susan K. Black, President & CEO. Ms. Black continued �We continue to provide credit to local businesses, individuals and nonprofit organizations. With our strong capital base, seasoned employees and full array of banking products, we are well positioned to extend our growth and to be the community bank of choice in our market.�

Ms. Black added, �We remain steadfast in our commitment to building a bank that provides value to our shareholders by uniquely responding to the banking needs of our communities within the framework of soundness, safety and controlled growth. The on-going support of our organizers, shareholders and clients is a key factor in our success.�

During the first quarter of 2009, the bank charged off $1.2 million of the $3.8 million balance on a nonaccrual loan for a commercial condominium project in the Sacramento area originated by another bank. As real estate market conditions in the bank�s market area have deteriorated to some degree, the credit quality of loans has been maintained at levels relatively consistent with prior quarters through proactive management such as obtaining paydowns or additional collateral. The allowance for loan losses at March 31, 2009 decreased to 1.28% of loans as a result of the charge off even as the overall credit quality of the loan portfolio remained approximately consistent with prior quarters.

Our capital position remains substantially above regulatory guidelines for well capitalized banks. At March 31, 2009, we had a total risk based capital ratio of 15.4%.
