FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include, among other things, the information concerning our possible future consolidated results of operations, business and growth strategies, financing plans, our competitive position and the effects of competition. Forward-looking statements include all statements that are not historical facts and can be identified by forward-looking words such as “anticipate”, “believe”, “could”, “estimate”, “expect”, “intend”, “plan”, “may”, “should”, “will”, “would”, “project” and similar expressions. These forward-looking statements are based on information currently available to us and are subject to inherent risks and uncertainties, and certain factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated. Particular uncertainties arise from the behavior of financial markets, including fluctuations in interest rates and securities prices, from unanticipated changes in the risk characteristics of the lease and loan portfolio, the level of defaults and a change in the provision for credit losses, and from numerous other matters of national, regional and global scale, including those of a political, economic, business, competitive or regulatory nature. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date made. The Company undertakes no obligations to update any forward-looking statements. Management does not undertake to update our forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances arising after the date on which they are made.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1- BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of California First National Bancorp (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries California First National Bank (“CalFirst Bank” or the “Bank”)) and California First Leasing Corporation (“CalFirst Leasing”) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2009. The material under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” is written with the presumption that the readers have read or have access to the 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K, which contains Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations as of June 30, 2009 and for the year then ended.

In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the balance sheet as of December 31, 2009 and the statements of earnings, cash flows and stockholders’ equity for the three and six-month periods ended December 31, 2009 and 2008. The results of operations for the three and six month period ended December 31, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the entire fiscal year ending June 30, 2010.

NOTE 2 – RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an accounting pronouncement establishing the FASB Accounting Standards Codification™ (the “ASC”) as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. This pronouncement was effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009, for most entities. On the effective date, all non-SEC accounting and reporting standards were superseded. The Company adopted this new accounting pronouncement for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2009, as required, and the adoption did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

In April 2009, the FASB revised ASC Section 825-10-50, Financial Instruments — Disclosures (“ASC 825-50”), to require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments in interim financial statements of publicly traded companies as well as in annual financial statements. ASC 825-50 requires entities to disclose the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments in interim financial statements and any changes in these methods and assumptions from prior periods. The requirement to provide interim disclosures became effective for the Company for interim periods beginning after June 15, 2009. In periods after initial adoption, the Company is required to provide comparative disclosures only for periods ending after initial adoption. The disclosure requirements of ASC 825-50 have been applied for the first two quarters of fiscal 2010.

In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-06, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements.” ASU No. 2010-06 amends ASC 820 and clarifies and provides additional disclosure requirements related to recurring and non-recurring fair value measurements. This ASU becomes effective for reporting periods commencing after December 15, 2009. The Company does not anticipate that this ASU will have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

NOTE 3 – STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

At December 31, 2009, the Company has one stock option plan, which is more fully described in Note 11 in the Company’s 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K. On July 1, 2005, the Company implemented Topic 718 in the Accounting Standards Codification, “Compensation – Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”) under the “modified prospective method” where stock-based compensation expense is recorded beginning on the adoption date and prior periods are not restated. Compensation expense is recognized using the fair-value based method for all new awards granted after July 1, 2005, while compensation expense for unvested stock options outstanding at July 1, 2005 is recognized over the requisite service period based on the fair value of those options as previously calculated at the grant date under the pro-forma disclosures of ASC 718. The fair value of each grant is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.

During the six months ended December 31, 2009, there was no pre-tax stock-based compensation expense compared to $12,000 recognized during the first six months of fiscal 2009. As of December 31, 2009, the Company has no more unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested shares. The Company has not awarded any new grants since fiscal 2004 and had calculated the stock-based compensation expense based upon the original grant date fair value as allowed under ASC 718. The valuation variables utilized at the grant dates are discussed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K in the respective years of the original grants.

The following table summarizes the stock option activity for the periods indicated:

	Six months ended December 31, 2009					Six months ended December 31, 2008

	$ 5.20 - $12.49		265,895		1.91	$	8.05

NOTE 4 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

On July 1, 2008, the Company adopted Topic 820 in the Accounting Standards Codification, “Fair Value Measurements” (“ASC 820”). In accordance with the ASC 820, the Company has not applied the provisions of this statement to non-financial assets and liabilities except those that are disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis (at least annually). ASC 820, among other things, defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and enhances disclosures about fair value measurements. The adoption of ASC 820 had no material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability. ASC 820 establishes a three-tiered value hierarchy that prioritizes inputs based on the extent to which inputs used are observable in the market and requires the Company to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. If a value is based on inputs that fall in different levels of the hierarchy, the instrument will be categorized based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value calculation. The three levels of inputs are defined as follows:

·	Level 1 - Valuation is based upon quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets;

·	Level 2 - Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market;

Level 3 - Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use inputs not observable in the market. Level 3 valuation techniques could include the use of option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques, and rely on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

ASC 820 applies whenever other accounting pronouncements require presentation of fair value measurements, but does not change existing guidance as to whether or not an instrument is carried at fair value. As such, ASC 820 does not apply to the Company’s investment in leases or investment securities held to maturity. The Company’s financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis include primarily securities available-for-sale and at December 31, 2009, there were no liabilities subject to ASC 820.

Securities available-for-sale include corporate bonds, mutual fund investments, and U.S. Treasury securities and generally are reported at fair value utilizing Level 1 and Level 2 inputs. The fair value of corporate bonds are obtained from independent quotation bureaus that use computerized valuation formulas to calculate current values based on observable transactions, but not a quoted bid, or are valued using prices obtained from the custodian, who uses third party data service providers (Level 2 input). Publicly traded mutual funds are valued by reference to the market closing or last trade price (Level 1 inputs). In the unlikely event that no trade occurred on the applicable date, an indicative bid or the last trade most proximate to the applicable date would be used (Level 2 input).

The following table summarizes the Company’s assets, which are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2009:

	Total		Quoted Price in Active Markets for Identical Assets		Significant Other Observable Inputs		Significant Unobservable Inputs
Description of Assets / Liabilities	Fair Value		(Level 1)		(Level 2)		(Level 3)

Available-for-sale-securities	$	72,511	$	13,534	$	58,977	$	-

Certain financial instruments, such as impaired loans and unfunded loan commitments, are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis; that is, the instruments are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments only in certain circumstances, usually if there was evidence of impairment. The Company had no such assets or liabilities at December 31, 2009.

NOTE 5 – FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

In accordance with ASC 825-50, the following table summarizes the estimated fair value of financial instruments as of December 31, 2009, September 30, 2009 and June 30, 2009, and includes financial instruments that are not accounted for or carried at fair value. In accordance with disclosure guidance related to fair values of financial instruments, certain financial instruments, including all lease related assets and liabilities and all non-financial instruments are excluded from fair value of financial instrument disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the total of the fair values presented does not represent the underlying value of the Company.

These fair value estimates are based on relevant market information and data, however, given there is no active market or observable market transactions for certain financial instruments, the Company has made estimates of fair values which are subjective in nature, involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimated values.

For cash and cash equivalents, demand deposits, short-term borrowings, and certain commercial loans that re-price frequently the fair value is estimated to equal the carrying cost. Values for available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities are determined as set forth in Note 4. The fair value of loan participations purchased in the secondary market is based upon current bid prices in such market at the measurement date. For other loans, the estimated fair value is calculated based on discounted cash flow analyses, using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality. These calculations have been adjusted for credit risk based on the Company’s historical credit loss experience. The fair value of certificates of deposit and long-term borrowings is estimated based on discounted cash flows using current offered market rates or interest rates for borrowings of similar maturity.

Securities classified as “available-for-sale” are carried at market value. Net aggregate unrealized gains or losses on these securities are included in a valuation allowance account and are shown, net of taxes, as a component of shareholders’ equity.

Securities classified as “held-to-maturity” are two U.S. agency issued securities and the Federal Reserve Bank and Federal Home Loan Bank Stock. The Company has determined that it has the ability to hold these investments until maturity and, given the Company’s intent to do so, anticipates that it will realize the full carrying value of its investment and carries the securities at amortized cost.

At December 31, 2009, approximately $10.0 million of U.S. Treasury Securities were pledged as collateral to secure certain borrowings.

The investment in Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco (“FHLB”) stock is a required investment related to borrowings from the FHLB. The FHLB obtains its funding primarily through issuance of consolidated obligations of the Federal Home Loan Bank system. The U.S. Government does not guarantee these obligations, and each of the 12 FHLB’s are generally jointly and severally liable for repayment of each other’s debt. Therefore, the Company’s

investment could be adversely impacted by the financial operations of the FHLB and actions by the Federal Housing Finance Agency.

Gross realized gains and gross realized losses on investment securities are summarized below. During the six months ended December 31, 2009, the Company realized a gain of $3.5 million on the sale of its investment in trust-preferred securities and U.S. Agency collateralized mortgage obligations. Proceeds from the sales were $65.6 million. The Company realized a loss of $27,000 on the sale of an equity investment and a corporate bond for proceeds of $2.6 million. No securities were sold during the six months ended December 31, 2008. These gains and losses are recognized using the specific identification method and are included in non-interest income.

The Company conducts a regular assessment of its investment portfolios to determine whether any securities are other-than-temporarily impaired. In estimating other-than-temporary impairment losses, management considers, among other factors, length of time and extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, the financial condition and near term prospects of the issuer, and the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery. At of December 31, 2009, no securities were other than temporarily impaired.

NOTE 7 – NET INVESTMENT IN LEASES

The Company's net investment in leases consists of the following:

	December 31, 2009			June 30, 2009
	(in thousands)
Minimum lease payments receivable	$	214,402		$	229,041
Estimated residual value		15,922			12,256

Less valuation allowance for estimated residual value		(113	)		(113	)
Net investment in leases	$	203,834		$	213,623

The minimum lease payments receivable and estimated residual value are discounted using the internal rate of return method related to each specific capital lease. Unearned income includes the offset of initial direct costs of $4.4 million and $4.8 million at December 31, 2009 and June 30, 2009, respectively.

NOTE 8 – COMMERCIAL LOANS

The Company’s investment in commercial loans consists of the following:

	December 31, 2009			June 30, 2009
	(in thousands)
Commercial loan participations	$	57,839		$	63,064

Less allowance for loan losses		(1,522	)		(1,272	)
Net commercial loans	$	66,287		$	71,130

Commercial loans are reported at their outstanding unpaid principal balances reduced by the allowance for loan losses and net of any deferred fees or costs on originated loans, or unamortized premiums or discounts on purchased loans. Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance. Loan origination fees and certain direct origination costs are capitalized and recognized as an adjustment to the yield of the related commercial loan.

NOTE 9 – BORROWINGS

CalFirst Bank is a member of the FHLB and, as such can take advantage of FHLB programs for overnight and term advances at published daily rates. Under terms of a blanket collateral agreement, advances from the FHLB are collateralized by qualifying investment securities. The Bank also has authority to borrow from the Federal Reserve Bank (“FRB”) discount window amounts secured by certain lease receivables.

Short-term and long-term borrowings and weighted average interest rates at December 31, 2009 and June 30, 2009 were as follows:

	As of December 31, 2009					As of June 30, 2009
			Weighted					Weighted
(dollars in thousands)	Amount		Average Rate			Amount		Average Rate
Short-term Borrowings
FHLB advances	$	-		-		$	25,444		0.33	%
FRB advances		-		-			10,000		0.50	%

FHLB advances		10,000		2.07	%		10,000		2.07	%
	$	10,000				$	45,444

At December 31, 2009, CalFirst Bank had unused borrowing availability of approximately $55 million with the FRB and $2 million with the FHLB. Borrowing capacity from the FHLB or FRB may fluctuate based upon the acceptability and risk rating of securities, loan and lease collateral and both the FRB and FHLB could adjust advance rates applied to such collateral at their discretion.

CALIFORNIA FIRST NATIONAL BANCORP

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL

CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

GENERAL

California First National Bancorp, a California corporation, is a bank holding company headquartered in Orange County, California. CalFirst Leasing and CalFirst Bank focus on leasing and financing capital assets through centralized marketing programs designed to offer cost-effective leasing alternatives. Leased assets are re-marketed at lease expiration. CalFirst Bank also provides business loans to fund the purchase of assets leased by third parties, including CalFirst Leasing, purchases participations in commercial loan syndications and provides commercial loans to businesses, including real estate based and unsecured revolving lines of credit. CalFirst Bank gathers deposits from a centralized location primarily through posting rates on the Internet.

The Company’s direct finance, loan and interest income includes interest income earned on the Company’s investment in lease receivables, residuals, commercial loans and investment securities. Non-interest income primarily includes gains realized on the sale of leased property and leases, income from sales-type and operating leases, gains and losses realized on investments, and other fee income. Income from sales-type leases relates to the re-lease of lease property (“lease extensions”) while income from operating leases generally involves lease extensions that are accounted for as an operating lease rather than as a sales-type lease.

The Company's operating results are subject to quarterly fluctuations resulting from a variety of factors, including the size and credit quality of the lease and loan portfolios, the volume and profitability of leased property being re-marketed through re-lease or sale, the interest rate environment, the volume of new lease or loan originations, including variations in the mix and funding of such originations, the market for investment securities and economic conditions in general. The Company’s principal market risk exposure is interest rate risk, which is the exposure due to differences in the repricing characteristics of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. The Company’s balance sheet structure historically has been short-term in nature, with a greater portion of assets that reprice or mature within one year. With the increased investment in commercial loans and investment securities with longer maturities, this maturity gap has diminished. The Company’s interest margin also is susceptible to timing lags related to varying movements in market interest rates. Many of the Company’s leases, loans and liquid investments are tied to U.S. treasury rates and the fed funds rate that often do not move in step with bank deposit rates. As a result, this can result in a greater change in net interest income than indicated by the repricing asset and liability comparison.

The Company conducts its business in a manner designed to mitigate risks. However, the assumption of risk is a key source of earnings in the leasing and banking industries and the Company is subject to risks through its investment securities, leases and loans held in its own portfolio, lease transactions in process, and residual investments. The Company takes steps to manage risks through the implementation of strict credit management processes and on-going risk management review procedures.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of the Company’s financial statements requires management to make certain critical accounting estimates that impact the stated amount of assets and liabilities at a financial statement date and the reported amount of income and expenses during a reporting period. These accounting estimates are based on management’s judgment and are considered to be critical because of their significance to the financial statements and the possibility that future events may differ from current judgments, or that the use of different assumptions could result in materially different estimates. The critical accounting policies and estimates have not changed from and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2009.

The Company's estimates are reviewed continuously to ensure reasonableness. However, the amounts the Company may ultimately realize could differ from such estimated amounts.

Overview of Results and Trends

The following discussion is provided in addition to the required analysis of earnings in order to discuss trends in our business. We believe this analysis provides additional meaningful information on a comparative basis.

Net earnings for the second quarter of fiscal 2010 were up 22%, while results for the six months ended December 31, 2009 were up 51%. The increase in net earnings for both periods is primarily due to gains realized on the sale of investment securities: $1.8 million in the second quarter and $3.4 million during the six-month period. A 17% and 19% reduction in selling, general and administrative expenses for the respective periods also contributed to the improvement in earnings and helped offset a reduction in direct finance income.

New lease bookings during the second quarter of fiscal 2010 were 32% ahead of the prior year level, but due to lower volume during the first quarter, total six month bookings of $73.8 million were 11% lower than the prior year. As a result, the net investment in leases of $203.8 million at December 31, 2009 was down 5% from the balance at June 30, 2009. New commercial loans boarded during the first six months of fiscal 2010 were only $3.9 million, and following the early payoff of certain loans, the loan portfolio declined to $66.3 million at December 31, 2009 from $71.1 million at June 30, 2009. New lease originations for the first six months of fiscal 2010 were up 19% from the prior year, and while new loan activity is minimal, the backlog of approved lease and loan commitments of $64.6 million is 11% greater than a year ago.

The Company’s portfolio of investment securities of $77.0 million at December 31, 2009 was down from $119.6 million at June 30, 2009, but up from $64.1 million at December 31, 2008. The decrease during the six months of fiscal 2010 resulted from the sale of approximately $68.3 million of investment securities for the net gain of $3.4 million noted above. Offsetting the sale of these investment securities was the acquisition of corporate bonds and unrealized gains within the investment portfolio.

Consolidated Statement of Earnings Analysis

Summary -- For the second quarter ended December 31, 2009, net earnings of $3.1 million increased $552,000, or 21.9%, from $2.5 million for the second quarter ended December 31, 2008. For the first six months of fiscal 2010, net earnings of $6.5 million increased $2.2 million, or 51.2%, compared to the first six months of fiscal 2009. Diluted earnings per share increased 20.9% to $0.30 per share for the second quarter of fiscal 2010, compared to $0.25 per share for the second quarter of the prior year. For the six months ended December 31, 2009, diluted earnings per share of $0.64 increased 55.6%, compared to $0.41 per shared for the same prior year period.

Net Direct Finance, Loan and Interest Income -- Net direct finance, loan and interest income is the difference between interest earned on the investment in leases, loans, securities and other interest earning investments and interest paid on deposits and other borrowings. Net direct finance, loan and interest income is affected by changes in the volume and mix of interest earning assets, the movement of interest rates, and funding and pricing strategies.

Net direct finance, loan and interest income was $5.4 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2009, a $650,000, or 10.8%, decrease compared to the same quarter of the prior year. Total direct finance, loan and interest income for the second quarter ended December 31, 2009 decreased 13.4% to $6.6 million from $7.7 million earned during the second quarter of fiscal 2009. The decrease was primarily due to a $885,000 or 16% decrease in direct finance income that resulted from an 8% decline in the average net investment in leases, and a $205,000, or 18%, decrease in loan income resulting from a 307 basis point drop in yields earned on an average commercial loan portfolio that was up 29% to $71.5 million. Interest income from investments was relatively unchanged as a 222 basis point drop in the average yield to 2.73% was offset by a 93% increase in average investment balances to $160.7 million. During the second quarter of fiscal 2010, interest expense paid on deposits and borrowings decreased by $375,000 or 29% reflecting a 31% increase in average balances to $240.3 million that was offset by a 148 basis point drop in average interest rates paid to 2.14%.

For the six months ended December 31, 2009, net direct finance and interest income was $11.3 million, a $245,000 or 2.2% increase from the $11.1 million earned during the same period of the prior year. Total direct finance, loan and interest income for the first six months of fiscal 2010 decreased 1.3% to $14.2 million, but included a $1.1 million increase in investment income offset by a $1.4 million decline in direct finance income. The increased investment income reflected a $90 million increase in the average investment in cash and securities to $171.7 million, which was offset somewhat by a 76 basis point drop in the average yields earned to 3.11%. The decline in direct finance income was due to a 6% decline in average balances to $202.1 million and a 66 basis point drop in average rates earned to 9.41%. Commercial loan income for the first six months of fiscal 2010 was up $76,000, or 4%, as a 42% increase in average balances to $72.2 million offset a 203 basis point drop in the average yield to 5.45%. For the six months ended December 31, 2009, interest expense on deposits and borrowings decreased by $431,000 or 15% to $2.8 million, reflecting a 156 basis point decrease in interest rates paid on average balances that increased by 48% from the year before to $255.4 million.

The following table presents the components of the increases (decreases) in net direct finance and interest income before provision for credit losses by volume and rate:

Provision for Credit Losses -- The Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $100,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 2010, compared to a provision of $650,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 2009. For the six-month period ended December 31, 2009, the provision was $350,000 compared to a provision of $875,000 for the same period of the prior fiscal year. The provision for credit losses for both periods in fiscal 2010 related to the heightened credit risk within the commercial loan portfolio, but also reflected the decline in the lease and commercial loan portfolios over the first six months of fiscal 2010.

Non-interest Income -- Total non-interest income for the quarter ended December 31, 2009 increased by $423,000, or 18.3%, to $2.7 million, compared to $2.3 million for the same quarter of the prior fiscal year. The increase in non-interest income was entirely due to $1.8 million in gains realized on the sale of certain investment securities that offset a $1.3 million decrease in income realized on leases reaching the end of term and from the sale of leases.

For the six months ended December 31, 2009, total non-interest income of $5.4 million increased 39.8% compared to $3.9 million for the six months ended December 31, 2008. The increase was due to a $3.4 million of gains realized on the sale of investment securities that offset a $2.0 million decrease in income realized on leases reaching the end of term and from the sale of leases.

Selling, General, and Administrative (“S,G&A”) Expenses – During the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2010, S,G&A expenses of $3.0 million and $5.8 million declined by 17.1% and 18.8%, respectively. During both periods, the decrease is due to lower personnel costs and reduced fixed and variable office costs resulting from efforts to lower overhead.

Taxes – Income taxes were accrued at a tax rate of 38.25% for the first quarter and six months ended December 31, 2009, compared to 37.5% for the first quarter and six months ended December 31, 2008, and represent the estimated annual tax rate for the fiscal years ending June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Financial Condition Analysis

Consolidated total assets at December 31, 2009 of $452.3 million were down 7.5% from $489.0 million at June 30, 2009. The change in total assets includes a $42.6 million decrease in investment securities to $77.0 million, a $9.8 million decrease in the net investment in leases to $203.8 million, a $4.9 million decrease in commercial loans to $66.3 million and a $5.4 million decrease in property acquired for transactions in process to $6.9 million. Offsetting these decreases was a $19.6 million increase in cash and cash equivalents to $74.8 million.

Lease and Loan Portfolio Analysis

The Company’s strategy is to develop lease and loan portfolios with risk/reward profiles that meet its objectives. The Company currently funds most new lease transactions internally, with a portion of lease receivables assigned to other financial institutions. During the first six months ended December 31, 2009, approximately 78% of the total dollar amount of new leases booked by the Company were held in its own portfolios, compared to 86% during the first six months of fiscal 2009. The $9.8 million decline in the Company’s net investment in leases includes a $12.7 million decrease in the investment in lease receivables offset by an increase of $2.9 million increase in the estimated residual values. The decrease in lease receivables is due to a lower volume of new leases booked and retained in the Company’s portfolio during the period. The increased investment in residual values is due to a larger volume of leases booked during the period in which the Company retained a residual investment. The Company’s commercial loan portfolio decreased $4.9 million to $66.3 million due to the early payoff of certain loans.

The Company often makes payments to purchase leased property prior to the commencement of the lease. The disbursements for these lease transactions in process are generally made to facilitate the lessees’ property implementation schedule. The lessee is contractually obligated by the lease to make rental payments directly to the Company during the period that the transaction is in process, and the lessee generally is obligated to reimburse the Company for all disbursements under certain circumstances. Income is not recognized while a transaction is in process and prior to the commencement of the lease. At December 31, 2009, the Company’s investment in property acquired for transactions in process of $6.9 million related to approximately $63.9 million of approved lease commitments. This investment in transactions in process decreased $5.4 million from $12.4 million at June 30, 2009, which related to approved lease commitments of $79.9 million, and was down from $19.1 million at December 31 2008, which related to approved lease commitments of $57.1 million. In addition to the approved lease commitments, CalFirst Bank had an unfunded loan commitment at December 31, 2009 of $700,000.

The Company monitors the performance of all leases and loans held in its own portfolio, transactions in process, as well as lease transactions assigned to lenders, if the Company retains a residual investment in the leased property subject to those leases. An ongoing review of all leases and loans ten or more day’s delinquent is conducted. Lessees and loans that are delinquent with the Company or an assignee are coded in the Company’s accounting and tracking systems in order to provide management visibility, periodic reporting, and appropriate reserves. The accrual of interest income on leases and loans generally will be discontinued when the lease or loan becomes ninety days or more past due on its payments with the Company, unless the Company believes the investment is otherwise recoverable. Leases and loans may be placed on non-accrual earlier if the Company has significant doubts about the ability of the customer to meet its obligations, as evidenced by consistent delinquency, deterioration in the customer’s financial condition or other relevant factors.

The following table summarizes the Company’s non-performing leases and loans.

	December 31, 2009		June 30, 2009
Non-performing Leases and Loans	(dollars in thousands)

Total non-performing leases and loans	$	9,801	$	10,129
Non-performing assets as % of net investment

The decrease in non-performing leases and loans at December 31, 2009 from June 30, 2009 primarily reflects the receipt of payments on problem accounts that offset the addition of a few new problem leases. The restructured lease and loan balance for both periods includes a loan and lease with one customer with an aggregate balance of approximately $8.1 million. This relationship was current with its restructured payments at December 31, 2009 and the transactions remain on an accrual basis. In addition to the non-performing leases and loans identified above, there was $1.7 million of investment in leases at December 31, 2009 classified as substandard or with credits that currently are experiencing financial difficulties or that management believes may experience financial difficulties in the future. Although these credits have been identified as potential problems, they may never become non-performing. These potential problem leases and loans are considered in the determination of the allowance for credit losses.

Allowance for Credit Losses

The allowance for credit losses provides coverage for probable and estimatable losses in the Company’s lease and loan portfolios. The allowance recorded is based on a quarterly review of all leases and loans outstanding and transactions in process. Lease receivables, loans or residuals are charged off when they are deemed completely uncollectible. The determination of the appropriate amount of any provision is based on management’s judgment at that time and takes into consideration all known relevant internal and external factors that may affect the portfolios.

The allowance for credit losses increased $320,000 to $5.2 million (1.8% of net investment in leases and loans before allowances) at December 31, 2009 from $4.8 million (1.6% of net investment in leases and loans before allowances) at June 30, 2009. This allowance consisted of $2.2 million allocated to specific accounts that were identified as problems and $2.9 million that was available to cover losses inherent in the portfolio. This compared to $1.9 million allocated to specific accounts at June 30, 2009 and $3.0 million available for losses inherent in the portfolio at that time. The increase in the specific allowance at December 31, 2009 primarily relates to the addition of specifically identified substandard loans. The Company considers the allowance for credit losses of $5.2 million at December 31, 2009 adequate to cover losses specifically identified as well as inherent in the lease and loan portfolios. However, no assurance can be given that the Company will not, in any particular period, sustain lease and loan losses that are sizeable in relation to the amount reserved, or that subsequent evaluations of the lease and loan portfolio, in light of factors then prevailing, including economic conditions and the on-going credit review process, will not require significant increases in the allowance for credit losses. Among other factors, economic and political events may have an adverse impact on the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses by increasing credit risk and the risk of potential loss even further.

Investment Securities

Total investment securities, both available-for-sale and held-to-maturity, were $77.0 million as of December 31, 2009, compared with $119.6 million at June 30, 2009. At December 31, 2009, the securities portfolio included an unrealized pre-tax gain of $3.5 million compared to a $2.2 million unrealized pre-tax gain at June 30, 2009. During the six months ended December 31, 2009, the Company realized a net gain of $3.4 million on the sale of trust-preferred securities, U.S. agency collateralized mortgage obligations, a corporate bond and an equity security held in the Company’s portfolio. During the same period, the Company purchased $21.1 million of corporate bonds and $600,000 of Federal Reserve Bank Stock.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company funds its operating activities through internally generated funds, bank deposits and non-recourse debt. At December 31, 2009 and June 30, 2009, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents were $74.8 million and $55.2 million, respectively. Stockholders’ equity at December 31, 2009 was $193.1 million, or 43% of total assets, compared to $191.4 million, or 39% of total assets, at June 30, 2009. At December 31, 2009, the Company and the Bank exceed their regulatory capital requirements and are considered “well-capitalized” under guidelines established by the FRB and OCC.

Deposits at CalFirst Bank totaled $213.2 million at December 31, 2009, compared to $182.0 million at December 31, 2008 and $220.9 million at June 30, 2009. The $31.2 million increase from December 31, 2008 was used to fund leases, loans and the Bank’s growth in the investment portfolio, as well as maintain liquidity at the Bank. The following table presents average balances and average rates paid on deposits for the six months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008:

	Six months ended December 31,

During fiscal 2009, the Bank entered into borrowing agreements with the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco. The Bank had outstanding balance of $10.0 million under a long-term FHLB agreement at December 31, 2009 that matures in January 2012 and is collateralized by a pledge of certain investment securities of the Bank, with $2.0 million still available under this agreement. The Bank also may borrow from the Federal Reserve Discount Window amounts secured by certain lease receivables. The Bank had no borrowings under this agreement at December 31, 2009, with the total availability estimated to be approximately $55 million. The Bank may elect from time-to-time to borrow from the Federal Reserve Bank rather than the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco to maintain an immediate secondary source of liquidity.

CalFirst Leasing’s capital expenditures for leased property purchases are sometimes financed by assigning certain lease term payments to banks or other financial institutions, including CalFirst Bank. The assigned lease payments are discounted at fixed rates such that the lease payments are sufficient to fully amortize the aggregate outstanding debt. At December 31, 2009, the Company had outstanding non-recourse debt aggregating $16.3 million relating to discounted lease rentals assigned to unaffiliated lenders. In the past, the Company has been able to obtain adequate non-recourse funding commitments, and the Company believes it will be able to do so in the future.

As of December 31, 2009, CalFirst Leasing had a $15 million line of credit with a bank (“Lender”). The purpose of the line is to provide resources as needed for investment in transactions in process and leases. The agreement, as amended, provides for borrowings based on Libor, requires a commitment fee on the unused line balance and allows for advances through March 31, 2010. The agreement is unsecured, however, the Company guarantees CalFirst Leasing’s obligations. No borrowings have been made under this line of credit as of December 31, 2009.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

The following table summarizes various contractual obligations as of December 31, 2009. Commitments to purchase property for leases are binding and generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses. Commercial loan commitments are agreements to lend to a customer or purchase a participation provided there is no violation of any condition in the contract. These commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses. Since the Company expects some of the commitments to expire without being funded, the total amounts do not necessarily represent the Company’s future liquidity requirements.

	Due by Period
			Less Than				After
Contractual Obligations	Total		1 Year		1-5 Years		5 Years
	(dollars in thousands)
Commercial loan commitments	$	700	$	700	$	-	$	-
Lease property purchases (1)		54,635		54,635		-		-
FHLB Borrowings		10,000		-		10,000		-
Operating lease rental expense		3,953		776		3,177		-
Total contractual commitments	$	69,288	$	56,111	$	13,177	$	-

(1)	Disbursements to purchase property on approved leases are estimated to be completed within one year, but it is likely that some portion could be deferred to later periods.

The need for cash for operating activities will increase as the Company expands. The Company believes that existing cash balances, cash flow from operations, cash flows from its financing and investing activities, and assignments (on a non-recourse basis) of lease payments will be sufficient to meet its foreseeable financing needs.

Inflation has not had a significant impact upon the operations of the Company.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market risk is the risk of loss of value in a financial instrument arising from changes in market indices such as interest rates, credit spreads and securities prices. The Company’s principal market risk exposure is interest rate risk, which is the exposure due to differences in the repricing characteristics of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Market risk also arises from the impact that fluctuations in interest rates may have on security prices that may result in changes in the values of financial instruments, such as available-for-sale securities that are accounted for at fair value. As the banking operations of the Company have grown and CalFirst Bank’s deposits represent a greater portion of the Company’s liabilities, the Company is subject to increased interest rate risk. The Bank has an Asset/Liability Management Committee and policies established to manage its interest rate risk. CalFirst Leasing has no interest-bearing debt, and non-recourse debt does not represent an interest rate risk to the Company because it is fully amortized through direct payments from lessees to the purchaser of the lease receivable.

At December 31, 2009, the Company had $74.8 million of cash or invested in securities of very short duration. The Company’s investment in lease payments receivable and commercial loans of $270.1 million consists of leases with fixed rates and loans with variable rates, however, $164.8 million of such investment is due within one year of December 31, 2009. Of the $77.0 million investment in securities, $8.0 million mature within twelve months. This compares to interest bearing deposit liabilities and FHLB and FRB borrowings of $223.2 million, of which $182.6 million mature within one year. Based on the foregoing, at December 31, 2009 the Company had assets of $247.6 million subject to changes in interest rates over the next twelve months, compared to repricing liabilities of $182.6 million.

The consolidated gap analysis below sets forth the maturity and repricing characteristics of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities for selected time bands. The mismatch between repricings or maturities within a time band is commonly referred to as the “gap” for that period. A positive gap (asset sensitive), where interest rate sensitive assets exceed interest rate sensitive liabilities, generally will result in the net interest margin increasing in a rising rate environment and decreasing in a falling rate environment. A negative gap (liability sensitive) will generally have the opposite result on the net interest margin. The gap analysis at December 31, 2009 presented below indicates that net interest income should increase during periods of rising interest rates and decrease during periods of falling interest rates. However, the static gap analysis does not assess the relative sensitivity of assets and liabilities to changes in interest rates and other factors that could have an impact on interest rate sensitivity or net interest income, including the protection provided by interest rate floors incorporated into a number of commercial loans. Sudden and substantial changes in interest rates may adversely impact income 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.

In addition to the consolidated gap analysis, CalFirst Bank measures its interest rate sensitivity through a maturity gap analysis and income simulation models. The interest rate sensitivity modeling includes the creation of prospective twelve month "baseline" and "rate shocked" net interest income projections and requires CalFirst Bank to estimate the impact of various factors on net interest income using assumptions that the Bank deems reasonable. These factors include actual maturities, estimated cash flows, repricing characteristics, deposit growth and retention and the relative sensitivity of the Bank’s assets and liabilities to changes in market interest rates. As of December 31, 2009, CalFirst Bank’s analysis estimated that the Bank’s projected net interest income would increase by approximately 3% from the base case scenario over the next 12 months if interest rates were to sustain an immediate increase of 100 basis points, and would increase by an estimated 11% to 17% with a 200 to 300 basis point rise in rates over 12 months. Assuming a 100 basis point decline in rates, the model estimated an approximate 4% increase in net interest income from an unchanged rate environment. The likelihood of a decrease in interest rates beyond 100 basis points as of December 31, 2009 was considered to be remote given current interest rate levels.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.

As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company's management, including its principal executive officer and its principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2009 to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. There were no changes made during the most recent fiscal quarter to the Company's internal controls over financial reporting that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
