PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

California First National Bancorp, a California corporation (the “Company”), is a bank holding company headquartered in Orange County, California with a bank subsidiary, California First National Bank (“CalFirst Bank” or the “Bank”) and leasing subsidiary, California First Leasing Corp (“CalFirst Leasing”). The primary business of CalFirst Leasing and CalFirst Bank is leasing and financing capital assets, while CalFirst Bank also participates in the market for commercial loan syndications, provides business loans to fund the purchase of assets leased by third parties, including CalFirst Leasing, and offers commercial loans directly to businesses. CalFirst Bank gathers deposits from a centralized location primarily through posting rates on the Internet. All banking and other operations are conducted from one central location.

Leasing Activities

At June 30, 2010, leases accounted for 75% of the Company’s net investment in leases and loans. The Company leases and finances most capital assets used by businesses and organizations, with a focus on high technology systems and other mission critical assets. The leases are structured individually and can accommodate a variety of our customers’ objectives. In addition to computer systems and networks, property leased includes automated manufacturing and distribution management systems, production systems, printing presses and warehouse distribution systems. Telecommunications systems include digital private branch equipment and switching equipment as well as voice over Internet protocol (“VoIP”) systems, wireless networks and satellite tracking systems. Retail point-of-sale and inventory tracking systems often integrate computers, scanners and software. Other electronic equipment leased includes ultrasound and medical imaging systems, computer-based patient monitoring systems, testing equipment, and copying equipment. In addition, the Company leases a wide variety of non-high technology property, including oil and gas production equipment, machine tools, school buses, trucks, exercise equipment and office and dormitory furniture. Of the leases booked in fiscal 2010, approximately 30.3% involved oil and gas production equipment, 27.6% computer equipment and software, 15.1% manufacturing equipment, 9.4% furniture and fixtures, and 5.8% transportation, with the balance including yellow, medical and test equipment, point of sale and office equipment.

CalFirst Leasing and CalFirst Bank provide leasing and financing to customers throughout the United States and across a breadth of industries and disciplines, including commercial, industrial and financial companies, as well as government and non-profit entities. The average size of lease transaction booked during fiscal 2010 was approximately $468,000, compared with $398,000 during fiscal 2009. One customer accounted for 27% of the property cost subject to leases booked during fiscal 2010, but historically no lessee has represented more than 5% of leases booked in any one year. Leases primarily are originated directly through a centralized marketing program and direct delivery channels. The marketing program includes a confidential database of current and potential users of business property, a training program to introduce new marketing employees to leasing, and an in-house computer and telecommunication systems. The marketing programs have been augmented through the expanded use of web sites and the Internet to identify and communicate with potential customers. Prospect management software is utilized to enhance the productivity of the sales effort. Specific information about potential customers is entered into a confidential database accessible to sales professionals and their managers that allows them to efficiently focus on the most likely purchaser or lessee of capital assets. The prospect management system and an integrated in-house telecommunications system permit sales management to monitor account executive activity, daily prospect status and pricing information. The ability to monitor account activity and offer immediate assistance in negotiating or pricing a transaction makes it possible to be responsive to customers and prospects.

California First National Bancorp and Subsidiaries

Leases are generally for initial terms ranging from two to five years. Substantially all leases are non-cancelable "net" leases which contain "hell-or-high-water" provisions under which the lessee must make all lease payments regardless of any defects in the property, and which require the lessee to maintain and service the property, insure the property against casualty loss and pay all property, sales and other taxes. CalFirst Leasing or the Bank retain ownership of the property they lease, and in the event of default by the lessee, they may declare the lessee in default, accelerate all lease payments due under the lease and pursue other available remedies, including repossession of the property. Upon the expiration of the leases, the lessee typically has an option, which is dependent upon each lease's defined end of term options, to either purchase the property at a negotiated price, or in the case of a "conditional sales contract," at a predetermined minimum price, or to renew the lease. If the original lessee does not exercise the purchase option, once the leased property is returned, CalFirst Leasing or CalFirst Bank will seek to sell the leased property.

Through its lease purchase operations, CalFirst Bank purchases lease receivables on a non-recourse basis from other intermediaries. All banks or lessors from whom the Bank purchases lease receivables are subject to an individual credit review and investigation by the Bank and must be approved by the Bank’s board of directors prior to establishing a discounting relationship. The Bank does not assume any obligations as lessor for these transactions, and the original lessor retains ownership of any underlying asset, with the Bank taking a priority first lien position. The Bank verifies the completeness of all lease documentation prior to purchase, to confirm that all documentation is correct and secure, that liens have been perfected, and legal documentation has been filed as appropriate. During the last half of fiscal 2010, CalFirst Bank expanded its marketing program for lease discounting.

CalFirst Leasing and CalFirst Bank conduct their leasing business in a manner designed to minimize risk, however, they are subject to risks through their investment in lease receivables held in their own portfolio, lease transactions-in-process, and residual investments. CalFirst Leasing and CalFirst Bank do not purchase leased property until they have received a binding non-cancelable lease from the customer. A portion of CalFirst Leasing’s lease originations are discounted to banks or finance companies, including CalFirst Bank, on a non-recourse basis at fixed interest rates that reflect the customers' financial condition. The lender to which a lease has been assigned has no recourse against CalFirst Leasing, unless CalFirst Leasing is in default under the terms of the agreement by which the lease was assigned. The institution to which a lease has been assigned may take title to the leased property, but only in the event the lessee fails to make lease payments or otherwise defaults under the terms of the lease. If this occurs, CalFirst Leasing may not realize their residual investment in the leased property.

Lease Portfolio

During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2010, 2009 and 2008, 85%, 87% and 92%, respectively, of the total dollar amount of new leases completed by the Company’s subsidiaries were retained in the Company’s portfolios, with 14%, 12% and 8% for fiscal years 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively, of such leases discounted to unaffiliated financial institutions. Approximately 34% of the new leases booked by CalFirst Leasing were assigned to CalFirst Bank for both fiscal 2010 and 2009. Pursuant to bank regulations, no more than 50% of CalFirst Leasing’s leases originated can be purchased by CalFirst Bank. CalFirst Bank funded one lease from an unaffiliated third party during fiscal 2010.

CalFirst Leasing applies a portfolio management system intended to develop portfolios with different risk/reward profiles. Each lease transaction held by CalFirst Leasing must meet or exceed certain credit or profitability requirements established, on a case-by-case basis, by the credit committee for the portfolio. Through the use of non-recourse financing, CalFirst Leasing avoids risks that do not meet their risk/reward requirements. Certain portfolios hold leases where the credit profile of the lessee or the value of the underlying leased property is not acceptable to other financial institutions.

California First National Bancorp and Subsidiaries

The Bank’s strategy is to develop a conservative, diversified portfolio of leases with high credit quality lessees. The Bank’s credit committee has established underwriting standards and criteria for the lease portfolio and monitors the portfolio on an ongoing basis. The Bank performs an independent credit analysis and due diligence on each lease transaction originated or purchased. The committee applies the same underwriting standards to all leases, regardless of how they are sourced.

The table below present the discounted minimum lease payments receivable (“Net Lease Receivable") related to leases retained in the Company’s portfolios at June 30, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Of the Bank’s Net Lease Receivable, approximately 67%, 65% and 62%, respectively, represented leases originated directly by the Bank.

	2010				2009				2008
	Net Lease		Percent of		Net Lease		Percent of		Net Lease		Percent of

California First Leasing	$	63,153		35%	$	75,454		37%	$	85,437		41%

CalFirst Leasing and the Bank often make payments to purchase leased property prior to the commencement of the lease. The disbursements for such lease transactions-in-process are generally made to facilitate the property implementation schedule of the lessees. The lessee generally is contractually obligated to make rental payments during the period that the transaction is in process, and obligated to reimburse CalFirst Leasing or the Bank 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 June 30, 2010, 2009, and 2008, the Company’s total investment in property acquired for transactions-in-process amounted to $26.8 million, $12.4 million and $29.0 million, respectively. Of such amounts, approximately 86%, 53% and 70%, respectively, for each year related to CalFirst Leasing, with the balance held by CalFirst Bank.

Commercial Loans

Commercial loans accounted for 25% of the Company’s net investment in leases and loans at June 30, 2010. CalFirst Bank’s commercial loan portfolio consists primarily of purchased participations in syndicated transactions originated by other financial institutions, with approximately 19% of the loan portfolio the result of a direct origination effort. Direct loan origination is targeted primarily to existing Bank and CalFirst Leasing relationships. These commercial loans are a complementary product leveraging existing relationships and extending customer longevity. Commercial loan products originated directly include lines of credit, term loans and commercial mortgages, and generally will be secured by a first priority filing on the customer’s assets, including accounts receivable and inventory, capital equipment or commercial real estate, but unsecured loans or lines of credit will be considered, depending on the nature of the credit. Commercial loans originated directly have terms from five to ten years, and priced with both fixed or floating rates. Commercial loans directly originated as of June 30, 2010 ranged in amount from approximately $1.0 to $6.3 million.

Syndicated bank loans have structures ranging from working capital loans secured by accounts receivable and inventories, term loans secured by fixed assets to leveraged loans supported by operating cash flow and enterprise valuation. Loans are priced at variable rates, and are made to larger corporations with debt ratings of BB or Ba, or higher, as rated by Standard & Poors or Moody’s Investors Service, respectively, however, $4.9 million, or approximately 9% of the syndicated loan portfolio, relates to companies rated single B or are unrated. All have been purchased from major money-center banking institutions. The syndicated loan customers are diversified across industries, and the loans have ranged in size from $1.8 million to $5.0 million, with the current average principal due of $3.7 million, and remaining terms from three to six years.

The Bank’s underwriting standards for commercial loans have been maintained in accordance with its existing credit policies. The commercial lending policy requires each loan, regardless of whether it is directly originated or purchased through syndication, to have viable repayment sources. The risks associated with loans in which the Bank participates as part of a syndicate of financial institutions are similar to those of directly originated commercial loans; however, additional risks may arise from the Bank’s limited ability to control actions of the syndicate. Existing staff administer loan operations including documentation, lien perfection, funding, payments and collections. The Bank’s current computer systems are capable of fully processing loans and have the requisite connectivity to the Company’s accounting, customer service and collections processes.

California First National Bancorp and Subsidiaries

CalFirst Bank began actively pursuing commercial loans during the last half of fiscal 2007, although no loans were boarded until the first quarter of fiscal 2008. The volume of commercial loan transactions funded during fiscal 2010 was $18.0 million, of which $17.3 million were purchased under syndication, compared to $51.3 funded during fiscal 2009, of which $47.8 million were purchased under syndication. Yields earned on commercial loans tend to be lower than yields earned on lease transactions, but the average life or duration of the investment is expected to be longer and such yields will vary more with changes in market interest rates.

Credit Risk Management

The Company’s strategy for credit risk management includes stringent credit authority centered at the most senior levels of management. The strategy also emphasizes diversification on both a geographic and customer level, and spreading risk across a breadth of leases and loans while minimizing the risk to any one area. The credit process primarily focuses on a customer’s ability to repay the lease or loan through their cash flow, and generally, collateral securing a transaction represents a secondary source of repayment. The credit process includes a policy of classifying all leases and loans in accordance with a risk rating classification system, monitoring changes in the risk ratings of lessees and borrowers, identification of problem leases and loans and special procedures for the collection of problem leases and loans. The lease and loan classification system is consistent with regulatory models under which leases and loans may be rated as “pass”, “special mention”, “substandard”, “doubtful” or “loss”.

An Asset Management (“AM”) group handles the day-to-day management and oversight of the CalFirst Leasing and CalFirst Bank lease portfolios. The AM group monitors the performance of all leases held in the portfolios, transactions-in-process as well as lease transactions assigned to lenders, if CalFirst Leasing retains a residual investment in the leased property subject to the lease. The AM group conducts an ongoing review of all leases 10 or more days delinquent. The AM group contacts the lessee directly and generally sends the lessee a notice of non-payment within 15 days after the due date. In the event that payment is not then received, senior management becomes involved. Delinquent leases are coded in the AM tracking system in order to provide management visibility, periodic reporting, and appropriate reserves. Legal recourse is considered and promptly undertaken if alternative resolutions are not obtained. At 90 days past due, leases will be placed on non-accrual status such that interest income related to the lease no longer accretes into income.

The Bank internally funds all Bank originations and lease and loan purchases, and consequently, the Bank retains the credit risk on such leases and loans. The AM group at CalFirst Leasing provides servicing to the Bank on its lease portfolio and will also assist as appropriate with commercial loans originated directly by the Bank.

Allowance for Credit Losses

The allowance for credit losses is an estimate of probable and assessable losses in the Company’s lease and loan portfolios applying the principles of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 450, “Contingencies,” and ASC Topic 310-35, “Loan Impairment.” The allowance recorded is based on a quarterly review of all leases and loans outstanding and transactions-in-process. 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 lease and loan portfolios. The primary responsibility for setting reserves resides with the Chief Financial Officer, who reports quarterly to the Company’s Audit Committee and Board of Directors regarding overall asset quality, problem leases and loans and the adequacy of valuation allowances.

The Company individually analyzes the net book value of each non-performing or problem lease and loan to determine whether the carrying value is less than or equal to the expected recovery anticipated to be derived from lease or loan payments, additional collateral or residual realization. The amount estimated as unrecoverable is recognized as a reserve specifically identified for the lease or impaired loan. An analysis of the remaining portfolio is conducted, taking into account recent loss experience, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, levels of delinquencies, adverse situations that may affect the customer’s ability to repay, trends in volume and current and anticipated economic conditions in the market. This portfolio analysis includes a stratification of the lease and loan portfolio by risk classification and estimation of potential losses based on risk classification. The composition of the portfolio based on risk ratings is monitored, and changes in the overall risk profile of the portfolio is factored into the evaluation of inherent risks in the portfolios. Regardless of the extent of the Company's analysis of customer performance or portfolio evaluation, certain inherent but undetected losses are probable within the lease and loan portfolios.

California First National Bancorp and Subsidiaries

This is due to several factors including inherent delays in obtaining information regarding a customer’s financial condition or change in business conditions; the judgmental nature of individual credit evaluations and classification, and the interpretation of economic trends; volatility of economic or customer-specific conditions affecting the identification and estimation of losses and the sensitivity of assumptions utilized to establish allowances for losses, among other factors. Therefore, an estimated inherent loss not based directly on the specific problem assets is recorded as an unallocated allowance. The level of such unallocated allowance is determined based on a review of prior years’ loss experience, and may vary depending on general market conditions. The aggregate allowance in any one period is apportioned between allowance for doubtful accounts and allowance for valuation of residual value.

Bank management reports monthly to the Bank’s Board of Directors regarding overall asset quality, the adequacy of valuation allowances and adherence to policies and procedures regarding asset classification and valuation. A key component to the evaluation is the internal lease and loan classification process. The Bank's classification of its assets and the amount of its valuation allowances are subject to review by regulators who can order the establishment of additional loss allowances.

Banking Operations

The Bank is focused on gathering deposits from depositors nationwide for the primary purpose of funding its investment in leases and loans. The Bank’s strategy is to be a low cost producer through marketing its products and services directly to end-users. The Bank believes that its operating costs generally will be lower than those of traditional "bricks and mortar" banks because it does not have the expense of a traditional branch network to generate deposits and conduct operations.

Deposit Products

The Bank’s deposits have been gathered primarily through the Internet. Other strategies to identify depositors are through direct mail, telephone campaigns, purchase of leads from private sources and more extensive print advertisements. The Bank offers two types of interest-bearing checking accounts, savings accounts and three (3) month to three (3) year certificates of deposit (“CDs”) to taxable and IRA depositors. CDs are offered with varying maturities in order to achieve a fair approximation or match of the average life of the Bank’s lease and loan portfolio. With leases generally providing for fixed rental rates, a matching fixed rate CD book is intended to allow the Bank to minimize interest rate fluctuation risk. Most of the Bank’s commercial loans are floating rate. The Bank generally offers interest rates on deposit accounts that are higher than the national average.

To open a new account, a customer can complete an on-line enrollment form on the Bank’s web site, or can call the Bank’s toll-free customer service number and open an account telephonically. Signature cards and deposits are then mailed to the Bank. Customers can make deposits by wire transfer, via direct deposit programs, or by mail. No teller line is maintained. The Bank’s customers have 24-hour access to account information. Customers can view their banking records and current balances, and transfer funds between accounts through the use of personal computers. They can also pay bills on-line. Each customer automatically receives a free ATM card upon opening an account. In order to obtain cash, the Bank’s customers use other banks’ automated teller machines that are affiliated with the Plusä system. The Bank generally will reimburse customers for some portion of any ATM fees charged by other financial institutions. The Bank believes that any inconvenience resulting from the Bank not maintaining automated teller machines or a local branch office will be offset by the Bank’s higher investment yields and lower banking fees.

As part of the Bank’s entry into broader services for commercial customers, CalFirst Bank can provide on-line cash management services for its commercial customers. Leveraging on its existing Internet banking platform, through the Bank’s remote deposit capture system customers provided with a desktop scanner can scan items for deposit and electronically send images of the items securely to the Bank’s electronic banking system. These systems are attractive to commercial customers who are able to perform more banking functions on-site, avoid courier and other costs and enhance cash flow through faster access to payments received.

California First National Bancorp and Subsidiaries

Operations

The Bank’s operations have been developed by outsourcing certain principal functions to leading bank industry service providers and by sharing established systems utilized by CalFirst Leasing or the Company. Outsourced systems include the Bank’s core processing and electronic banking system, electronic bill payment systems and depositary services, including item processing. The Bank believes it benefits from the service provider's expertise and investments in developing technology. A critical element to the Bank’s success is the ability to provide secure transmission of confidential information over the Internet. The Bank’s service providers utilize sophisticated technology to provide maximum security. All banking transactions are encrypted and all transactions are routed from the Internet server through a "firewall" that limits access to the Bank’s and service provider’s systems. Systems are in place to detect attempts by third parties to access other users' accounts and feature a high degree of physical security, secure modem access, service continuity and transaction monitoring. The Bank has implemented the two-factor authentication security to its Internet banking procedures and platform.

CalFirst Leasing provides certain services to the Bank pursuant to formal agreements, including servicing the Bank’s lease portfolio on the Bank’s behalf.

Investments

In addition to leases and loans, the Company had total cash and cash equivalents and investment securities of $146.0 million at June 30, 2010 compared to $174.8 million at June 30, 2009. This investment portfolio consists of interest-earning deposits with banks and short-term money market securities, as well as U.S. Treasury Securities, corporate bonds, Federal Reserve Bank and Federal Home Loan Bank stock and other investments. The Company is authorized to invest in high-quality United States agency obligations, mortgage backed securities, investment grade corporate bonds and municipal securities and selected preferred and equity securities. The investment portfolio may increase or decrease depending upon the comparative returns on investments in relation to leases and loans.

Customers

Leasing and loan customers are primarily middle-market companies, subsidiaries and divisions of Fortune 1000 companies, private and state-related educational institutions, municipalities and other not-for-profit organizations and institutions located throughout the United States. The Company does not believe the loss of any one customer would have a material adverse effect on its operations taken as a whole.

The Bank’s deposit customers are individuals from across the nation who place a substantial portion of their savings in safe, government-insured deposits and businesses that spread their liquid investments among a breadth of banks in order to ensure that they are government insured. Such depositors are seeking to maximize their interest income and, therefore, are more inclined to move their investments to a bank that offers the highest yield regardless of the geographic location of the depository.

Competition

The Company competes for the lease and loan financing of capital assets with other banks, commercial finance companies, and other financial institutions, independent leasing companies, credit companies affiliated with equipment manufacturers, and equipment brokers and dealers. Many of the Company's competitors have substantially greater resources, capital, and more extensive and diversified operations than the Company. The Company believes that the principal competitive factors are rate, responsiveness to customer needs, flexibility in structuring lease financing and loans, financial technical proficiency and the offering of a broad range of financing options. The level of competition varies depending upon market and economic conditions, the interest rate environment, and availability of capital.

The Bank competes with other banks and financial institutions to attract deposits. The Bank faces competition from established local and regional banks and savings and loan institutions. Many of them have larger customer bases, greater name recognition and brand awareness, greater financial and other resources, broader product offerings and longer operating histories. The market for Internet banking has seen increased competition over the past several years as large national banks have deployed and aggressively promoted their own on-line banking platforms. Additionally, new competitors and competitive factors are likely to emerge with the continued development of Internet banking.

Supervision and Regulation

The Company is a bank holding company within the meaning of the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, and is registered with, regulated and examined by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “FRB”). In addition to the regulation of the Company, the Bank is subject to extensive regulation and periodic examination, principally by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”). The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insures the Bank’s deposits up to certain prescribed limits and the Bank is a member bank within the San Francisco Federal Reserve district.

The Bank Holding Company Act, the Federal Reserve Act, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Act subject the Company and the Bank to a number of laws and regulations. The primary concern of banking regulation is “Safety and Soundness” with an emphasis on asset quality and capital adequacy. These laws and regulations also encompasses a broad range of other regulatory concerns including insider transactions, the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses, inter-company transactions, regulatory reporting, adequacy of systems of internal controls and limitations on permissible activities. The federal banking agencies possess broad powers to take corrective action as deemed appropriate for an insured depository institution and its holding company. The FRB routinely examines the Company, which exam includes CalFirst Leasing. The OCC, which has primary supervisory authority over the Bank, regularly examines banks in such areas as reserves, loans, investments, management practices, and other aspects of operations. These examinations are designed for the protection of the Bank’s depositors rather than the Company’s shareholders. The Bank must furnish annual and quarterly reports to the OCC, which has the authority under the Financial Institutions Supervisory Act to prevent a national bank from engaging in an unsafe or unsound practice in conducting its business. Many of these laws and regulations have undergone significant change in recent years. Future changes to these laws and regulations, and other new financial services laws and regulations are likely, and cannot be predicted with certainty.

Under FRB policy, the Company is expected to serve as a source of financial and managerial strength to the Bank and, under appropriate circumstances, to commit resources to support the Bank. Certain loans by the Company to the Bank would be subordinate in right of payment to deposits in, and certain other indebtedness of, the Bank.

Among the regulations that affect the Company and the Bank are provisions of Section 23A of the Federal Reserve Act. Section 23A places limits on the amount of loans or extensions of credit the Bank may make to affiliates and the amount of assets purchased from affiliates, except for transactions exempted by the FRB. The aggregate of all of the above transactions is limited in amount, as to any one affiliate, to 10% of a bank’s capital and surplus and, as to all affiliates combined, to 20% of a bank's capital and surplus. The Bank and the Company must also comply with certain provisions designed to avoid the Bank buying low-quality assets. The Company and the Bank are also subject to the provisions of Section 23B of the Federal Reserve Act which, among other things, prohibits an institution from engaging in transactions with affiliates unless the transactions are on terms substantially the same, or at least as favorable to the institution as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with non-affiliated companies. All services provided by the Company or CalFirst Leasing to the Bank are in accordance with this provision.

In December 2002, the FRB approved Regulation W (“Reg. W”), which implements, interprets and applies statutory provision in sections 23A and 23B, and became effective April 1, 2003. Under Reg. W, a bank does not have to comply with the quantitative limits of Section 23A when making a loan or extension of credit to an affiliate if 1) the extension of credit was originated by the affiliate; 2) the bank makes an independent evaluation of the creditworthiness of the borrower and commits to purchase the extension of credit before the affiliate makes or commits to make the extension of credit; 3) the bank does not make a blanket advance commitment to purchase loans from the affiliate and 4) the dollar amount of all purchases over any 12 month period by the bank from an affiliate does not represent more than 50% of that affiliate’s credit extensions during such period. The Company believes the Bank’s purchase of lease receivables from CalFirst Leasing conforms to the requirements of Reg. W. In addition, the Company has agreed with the FRB that the Bank’s purchase of leases from CalFirst Leasing will not exceed 50% of the Bank’s lease portfolio.

In connection with its approval of the Company’s purchase of the stock of the Bank, the FRB and the OCC required the Company and the Bank to make certain commitments with respect to the operation of the Bank. During fiscal 2006, in light of the Bank’s achievement of profitability, the commitments were modified to include the following on an on-going basis: (i) the Bank and the Company have entered into a binding written agreement setting forth the Company’s obligations to provide capital maintenance and liquidity support to the Bank, if and when necessary; (ii) the Bank must obtain prior approval from the OCC before implementing any significant deviation or change from its original operating plan; and (iii) the Company must comply with Reg. W.

Bank holding companies are subject to risk-based capital guidelines adopted by the FRB. The Company currently is required to maintain (i) Tier 1 capital equal to at least six percent of its risk-weighted assets and (ii) total capital (the sum of Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital) equal to ten percent of risk-weighted assets. The FRB also requires the Company to maintain a minimum Tier 1 "leverage ratio" (measuring Tier 1 capital as a percentage of adjusted total assets) of at least five percent. At June 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company exceeded all these requirements. The Company is not required to and does not intend to comply with revised capital adequacy regulations and standards based on an accord of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (“BIS II”).

The Bank is also subject to risk-based and leverage capital requirements mandated by the OCC. In general, banks are required to maintain a minimum ratio of qualifying total capital to risk-adjusted assets of 8% and a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-adjusted assets of 4%. In addition to the risk-based guidelines, banks are generally required to maintain a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to adjusted total assets, referred to as the leverage ratio, of 4%. At June 30, 2010 and 2009, the Bank had capital in excess of all minimum risk-based and leverage capital requirements.

Under the Community Reinvestment Act (“CRA”), the Bank has a continuing and affirmative obligation, consistent with safe and sound operation, to help meet the credit needs of their entire communities, including low- and moderate-income neighborhoods. CalFirst Bank is designated as a wholesale institution for CRA purposes. To evaluate the CRA performance of banks with this designation, regulatory agencies use the community development test. This includes an assessment of the level and nature of the Bank’s community development lending, investments and services. The CRA requires the OCC, in connection with its examination of the Bank, to assess and assign one of four ratings to the Bank’s record of meeting the credit needs of its community. The CRA also requires that the Bank publicly disclose their CRA ratings. During fiscal 2008, CalFirst Bank was subjected to a CRA examination and received a “satisfactory” rating on the CRA performance evaluation. There was no CRA examination for fiscal 2010.

The Bank is a member of the Deposit Insurance Fund (“DIF”) maintained by the FDIC. Through the DIF, the FDIC insures the deposits of the Bank up to prescribed limits for each depositor. As a result of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “2010 Financial Reform Act”), the maximum deposit insurance amount has been increased permanently from $100,000 to $250,000. The FDIC utilizes a risk-based assessment system that imposes insurance premiums based upon a risk matrix that takes into account a bank’s capital level and supervisory rating. As of January 1, 2009, there are four risk categories, which are distinguished by capital levels and supervisory ratings. The three capital categories are “well capitalized,” “adequately capitalized,” and “undercapitalized.” Under the regulations, assessment rates for calendar 2009 ranged from 12 to 16 basis points per $100 of deposits for banks in Risk Category I, to 45 basis points for banks assigned to Risk Category IV. On May 22, 2009, the FDIC adopted a final rule imposing a 5 basis point special assessment on each insured depository institution’s assets minus Tier 1 capital as of June 30, 2009. The special assessment was collected on September 30, 2009. In lieu of further special assessments, on November 12, 2009, the FDIC approved a final rule to require all insured depository institutions to prepay their estimated risk-based assessments for the fourth quarter of 2009, and for all of 2010, 2011, and 2012 on December 30, 2009. For purposes of estimating future assessments, an institution would assume 5% annual growth in the assessment base and a three basis point increase in the current assessment rate for 2011 and 2012. The actual assessment would be applied against the prepaid assessment until exhausted. Any funds remaining after June 30, 2013 will be returned to the institution. The FDIC may still increase or decrease the assessment rate in the future, and any such increase could have an adverse impact on the earnings of insured institutions, including the Bank.

In November 2008, the FDIC implemented the Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program (TLGP), which applies to U.S. depository institutions insured by the FDIC and U.S. bank holding companies. The Bank elected to participate in the deposit account guarantee component of the TLGP (the “Transaction Account Guarantee”), pursuant to which the FDIC guarantees all noninterest-bearing transaction accounts in full until December 31, 2010, regardless of the existing deposit insurance limit of $250,000. In return for this guarantee, the Bank pays the FDIC a fee on any deposit amounts exceeding the existing deposit insurance limit. The fee is risk-based and can range from 15 to 25 basis points. As a result of the 2010 Financial Reform Act, the Transaction Account Guarantee was extended through December 31, 2012, although the fees charged by the FDIC going forward have not been established.

California First National Bancorp and Subsidiaries

The Bank also is required to make payments for the servicing of obligations of the Financing Corporation (“FICO”) issued in connection with the resolution of savings and loan associations, so long as such obligations remain outstanding. The FICO annual assessment rate for 2011 is 1.04 cents per $100 of deposits.

The FDIC can terminate insurance of the Bank’s deposits upon a finding that the Bank has engaged in unsafe and unsound practices, is in an unsafe or unsound condition to continue operations, or has violated any applicable law, regulation, rule, order, or condition imposed by the OCC. The termination of deposit insurance could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s earnings.

The principal source of cash flow to the Company, including cash flow to pay dividends on its common shares, is dividends from its subsidiaries and fees for services rendered to its subsidiaries. Various statutory and regulatory provisions limit the amount of dividends or fees that may be paid to the Company by the Bank. The Company does not depend on the Bank for such amounts, and believes CalFirst Leasing has sufficient cash flow and assets to meet the Company’s requirements.

On November 12, 1999, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (“Gramm-Leach”) became law and established requirements for financial institutions to provide new privacy protections to consumers and requires a financial institution to provide notice to customers about its privacy policies and practices. On October 26, 2001, the USA Patriot Act became law pursuant to which implementing regulations impose obligations to maintain appropriate policies, procedures and controls to detect, prevent and report money laundering and terrorist financing and to verify the identity of customers. Failure of CalFirst Bank or the Company to maintain and implement adequate programs to combat money laundering and terrorist financing, or to comply with all of the relevant laws or regulations, could have serious legal and reputational consequences. With its existing systems and controls required as an Internet bank, the Bank believes it complies with the USA Patriot Act.

The commercial banking business is also influenced by the monetary and fiscal policies of the federal government and the policies of the FRB. The FRB implements national monetary policies through its management of the discount rate, the money supply, and reserve requirements on bank deposits. Indirectly, such policies and actions may impact the ability of non-bank financial institutions to compete with the Bank. Monetary policies of the FRB have had, and will continue to have, a significant effect on the operating results of financial institutions. The nature and impact of any future changes in monetary or other policies of the FRB cannot be predicted.

The laws, regulations and policies affecting financial services businesses are continually under review by Congress and state legislatures and federal and state regulatory agencies. The 2010 Financial Reform Act provides for sweeping financial regulatory reform and may have the effect of increasing the cost of doing business, limiting or expanding permissible activities and affect the competitive balance between banks and other financial intermediaries. While many of the provisions of the 2010 Financial Reform Act do not impact the existing business of the Bank, the final rules adopted and ultimate impact will depend on regulatory interpretation and rulemaking, Changes in the laws, regulations or policies that impact the Company cannot necessarily be predicted, and they may have a material effect on the business and earnings of the Company.

Employees

At June 30, 2010, the Company and its subsidiaries had 179 employees, none of whom are represented by a labor union. The Company believes that its relations with its employees are satisfactory.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

There are a number of factors, including those specified below, that may adversely affect the Company’s business, financial results or stock price. Additional risks that the Company currently does not know about or currently views as immaterial may also affect the Company’s business or adversely impact its financial results or stock price.

Industry Risk Factors

The Company’s business and financial results are subject to general business and economic conditions. The Company’s business activities and earnings are affected by general business conditions in the United States. The recent economic downturn resulted in a deterioration of credit quality of certain lessees and reduced demand for financing capital assets. Continued weakness in the financial performance and condition of customers could negatively affect the repayment of their obligations. In addition, changes in securities markets and monetary fluctuations adversely affect the availability and terms of funding necessary to meet the Company’s liquidity needs.

Changes in the domestic interest rate environment could reduce the Company’s net direct finance and interest income. The Company’s net direct finance and interest income, which is the difference between income earned on leases, loans and investments and interest expense paid on deposits, is affected by market rates of interest, which in turn are affected by prevailing economic conditions, by the fiscal and monetary policies of the Federal government and by the policies of various regulatory agencies.

Disruptions in the domestic credit markets and interest rate environment, including changes in interest spreads and the yield curve, could reduce net interest income. Low prevailing interest rates have reduced the income earned on the Company’s available cash balances. Higher interest rates and the inability to access capital markets could negatively affect certain customers and result in increased lease and loan losses.

Changes in the laws, regulations and policies governing financial services companies could alter the Company’s business environment and adversely affect operations. The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System regulates the supply of money and credit in the United States. Its fiscal and monetary policies determine in a large part the Company’s cost of funds and the return that can be earned on leases, loans and investments, which affect the Company’s net direct finance, loan and interest income.

The Company and the Bank are regulated by governmental entities. This regulation is to protect depositors, federal deposit insurance funds and the banking system as a whole. The 2010 Financial Reform Act provides for sweeping financial regulatory reform, the ultimate impact of which will depend on the final rules adopted and regulatory interpretation and rulemaking. These changes in regulations or policies could affect the Company in substantial and unpredictable ways. The Company cannot predict whether any additional legislation will be enacted, and if enacted, the effect that it or any regulations would have on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

The financial services industry is highly competitive, and competitive pressures could intensify and adversely affect the Company’s financial results. The Company operates in a highly competitive industry that could become even more competitive as a result of legislative, regulatory and technological changes. The Company competes with other commercial banks, savings and lease associations, mutual savings banks, finance companies, credit unions and investment companies, many of which have greater resources than the Company.

Acts or threats of terrorism and political or military actions taken by the United States or other governments could adversely affect general economic or industry conditions.

Company Risk Factors

The Company’s allowance for credit losses may not be adequate to cover actual losses. The Company’s subsidiaries retain approximately 90% of lease transactions and all loans in their own portfolios, which exposes the Company to credit risk. The Company maintains an allowance for credit losses to provide for probable and estimatable losses in the portfolio. The Company’s allowance for credit losses is based on its historical experience as well as an evaluation of the risks associated with its portfolio, including the size and composition of the lease and loan portfolio, current economic conditions and concentrations within the portfolio. The allowance for credit losses may not be adequate to cover losses resulting from unanticipated adverse changes in the economy or the financial markets. If the credit quality of the customer base materially decreases, or if the reserve for credit losses is not adequate, future provisions for credit losses could materially and adversely affect financial results.

California First National Bancorp and Subsidiaries

The Company may suffer losses in its lease and loan portfolio despite its underwriting practices. The Company seeks to mitigate the risks inherent in its lease and loan portfolio by adhering to specific credit practices. Although the Company believes that its criteria are appropriate for the various kinds of leases and loans it makes, the Company may incur losses on leases and loans that meet these criteria.

The Bank’s commercial loan initiative may increase the Company’s risk of losses. The commercial loan portfolio contains a number of commercial loans with relatively larger balances than its historical lease portfolio. The deterioration of one or a few of these loans could cause a significant increase in non-performing loans. An increase in non-performing loans could result in an increase in the provision for credit losses and an increase in charge-offs, all of which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations.

The Bank’s expanded lease purchase operations may increase the Company’s risk of losses. CalFirst Bank has implemented a program to grow its lease portfolio through the purchase of lease receivables on a non-recourse basis from other banks and finance companies. The Company seeks to mitigate the risks inherent in this third-part business by adhering to specific underwriting practices, but many of these relationships are new and untested, and the Bank could be exposed to risks not inherent with the lease transactions originated directly or acquired from its affiliates, including unfamiliar documentation and reliance on sales and funding professionals not subject to the Bank’s policies and practices.

Customer concentration may increase the risk of loss in the event of the deterioration of one of these customers or industries. At June 30, 2010 approximately 33% of the Company’s net investment in capital leases was with public and private colleges, universities, elementary and secondary schools located throughout the United States and 11% was related to the oil and gas industry. One customer in the oil and gas industry accounted for 8% of the investment in capital leases and 6% of investment in leases and loans.

The Company’s diversification into broader investment alternatives may increase the Company’s risk of losses. The Company’s investment portfolio may include U.S. Treasury and Agency Securities, corporate bonds and closed-end mutual funds, in addition to interest-earning deposits, short-term money market securities and federal funds previously held. These securities subject the Company to increased risk of volatility in the valuation of the investment, as well as greater interest and market risks. The deterioration of one or a few of these investments on a permanent basis could result in an determination that the investment has been permanently impaired and require a write-down of such investment, all of which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations.

The Company may be adversely affected by significant changes in the bank deposit market and interest rates. CalFirst Bank has grown to represent 65% of the Company’s assets, and bank deposits now exceed $205 million. As a result, the Company’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates and demand for bank deposits has increased from historical levels. Time deposits due within one year of June 30, 2010 totaled $115 million. If these maturing deposits do not roll over, CalFirst Bank may be required to seek other sources of funds, including other time deposits and borrowings. Depending on market conditions, rates paid on deposits and borrowings may be higher than currently paid or no longer available. Although the Bank employs a funding strategy designed to correlate the repricing characteristics of assets with liabilities, the impact of interest rate movements and customer demand is not always consistent during different market cycles, and changes in the costs for deposits and yields on assets may not coincide.

The change in residual value of leased assets may have an adverse impact on the Company’s financial results. A portion of the Company’s leases is subject to the risk that the residual value of the property under lease will be less than the Company’s recorded value. Adverse changes in the residual value of leased assets can have a negative impact on the Company’s financial results. The risk of changes in the realized value of the leased assets compared to recorded residual values depends on many factors outside of the Company’s control.

The financial services business involves significant operational risks. Operational risk is the risk of loss resulting from the Company’s operations, including, but not limited to, the risk of fraud by employees or persons outside of the Company, the execution of unauthorized transactions by employees, errors relating to transaction processing and technology, breaches of the internal control system and compliance requirements, and failure of business continuation and disaster recovery plans. This risk of loss also includes the potential legal actions that could arise as a result of an operational deficiency or as a result of noncompliance with applicable regulatory standards, adverse business decisions or their implementation, and customer attrition due to potential negative publicity. In the event of a breakdown in the internal control system, improper operation of systems or improper employee actions, the Company could suffer financial loss, face regulatory action and suffer damage to its reputation.

Quarterly operating results may fluctuate significantly. Operating results may differ from quarter to quarter due to a variety of factors, including the volume and profitability of leased property being remarketed, the size and credit quality of the lease and loan portfolio, the interest rate environment, the volume of new lease and loan originations, including variations in the property mix and funding of such originations and economic conditions in general. The results of any quarter may not be indicative of results in the future.

Negative publicity could damage the Company’s reputation and adversely impact its business and financial results. Reputation risk, or the risk to the Company’s business from negative publicity, is inherent in the Company’s business. Negative publicity can result from the Company’s actual or alleged conduct in any number of activities, including leasing practices, corporate governance, and actions taken by government regulators in response to those activities. Negative publicity can adversely affect the Company’s ability to keep and attract customers and can expose the Company to litigation and regulatory action.

The Company’s reported financial results are subject to certain assumptions and estimates and management’s selection of accounting method. The Company’s management must exercise judgment in selecting and applying many accounting policies and methods so they comply with generally accepted accounting principles and reflect management’s judgment of the most appropriate manner to report the Company’s financial condition and results. In some cases, management may select an accounting policy which might be reasonable under the circumstances yet might result in the Company’s reporting different results than would have been reported under a different alternative.

Certain accounting policies are critical to presenting the Company’s financial condition and results. They require management to make difficult, subjective or complex judgments about matters that are uncertain. Materially different amounts could be reported under different conditions or using different assumptions or estimates. These critical accounting policies include the estimate of residual values, the allowance for credit losses, and income taxes. For more information, refer to “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates”.

Changes in accounting standards could materially impact the Company’s financial statements. The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) may change the financial accounting and reporting standards that govern the preparation of the Company’s financial statements. These changes can be hard to predict and can materially impact how the Company records and reports its financial condition and results of operations. Recently, FASB has proposed new accounting standards related to fair value accounting and accounting for leases that could materially change the Company’s financial statements in the future. In some cases, the Company could be required to apply a new or revised standard retroactively, resulting in the Company’s restating prior period financial statements.

Loss of certain key officers would adversely affect the Company’s business. The Company‘s business and operating results are substantially dependent on the certain key employees, including the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Operating Officer, Senior Vice President of Credit, Chief Financial Officer, the President and Chief Credit Officer of the Bank and certain key sales managers. The loss of the services of these individuals, particularly the Chief Executive Officer, would have a negative impact on the business because of their expertise and years of industry experience.

The Company’s business could suffer if the Company fails to attract and retain qualified people. The Company’s success depends, in large part, on its ability to attract and retain key people. Competition for personnel in most activities the Company engages in can be intense. The Company may not be able to hire the best people or to keep them.

The Company relies on other companies to provide components of the Company’s business infrastructure. Third party vendors provide certain components of the Company’s business infrastructure, such as the Bank’s core processing and electronic banking systems, item processing, and Internet connections. While the Company has selected these third party vendors carefully, it does not control their actions. Any problems caused by these third parties not providing the Company their services for any reason or their performing their services poorly, could adversely affect the Company’s ability to deliver products and services to the Company’s customers and otherwise to conduct its business. Replacing these third party vendors could also entail significant delay and expense.

A natural disaster could harm the Company’s business. Natural disasters could harm the Company’s operations directly through interference with communications, including the interruption or loss of the Company’s websites, which would prevent the Company from gathering deposits, originating leases and loans and processing and controlling its flow of business, as well as through the destruction of facilities and the Company’s operational, financial and management information systems.

The Company faces systems failure risks as well as security risks, including “hacking” and “identity theft.” The computer systems and network infrastructure the Company and others use could be vulnerable to unforeseen problems. These problems may arise in both our internally developed systems and the systems of our third-party service providers. Our operations are dependent upon our ability to protect computer equipment against damage from fire, power loss or telecommunication failure. Any damage or failure that causes an interruption in our operations could adversely affect our business and financial results. In addition, our computer systems and network infrastructure present security risks, and could be susceptible to hacking or identity theft.

The Company relies on dividends from its subsidiaries for its liquidity needs. The Company is a separate and distinct legal entity from CalFirst Leasing and the Bank. The Company receives substantially all of its cash from dividends paid by CalFirst Leasing. These dividends are the principal source of funds to pay dividends on the Company’s stock. Various regulations limit the amount of dividends that the Bank may pay to the Company.

The Company’s stock price can be volatile. The Company’s stock price can fluctuate widely in response to a variety of factors, including: actual or anticipated variations in the Company’s quarterly operating results; operating and stock price performance of other companies that investors deem comparable to the Company; news reports relating to trends, concerns and other issues in the financial services industry, and changes in government regulations. General market fluctuations, industry factors and general economic and political conditions and events, including terrorist attacks, economic slowdowns or recessions, interest rate changes, credit loss trends or currency fluctuations, could also cause the Company’s stock price to decrease regardless of the Company’s operating results. In addition, the volume of trading in the Company’s stock is very limited and can result in fluctuations in prices between trades.

The Company is a “controlled company” as defined by NASDAQ, with over 64% of the stock held by the Chief Executive Officer, over 77% held by two senior executives and fewer than 100 shareholders of record. As a result, senior management has the ability to exercise significant influence over the Company’s policies and business, and determine the outcome of corporate actions requiring stockholder approval. These actions may include, for example, the election of directors, the adoption of amendments to corporate documents, the approval of mergers, sales of assets and the continuation of the Company as a registered company with obligations to file periodic reports and other filings with the SEC.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

At June 30, 2010 the Company and its subsidiaries occupied approximately 43,000 square feet of office space in Irvine, California leased from an unaffiliated party. The lease provides for monthly rental payments that average $93,932 from July 2010 through August 2013.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Company is sometimes named as a defendant in litigation relating to its business operations. Management does not expect the outcome of any existing suit to have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.

ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

None.

The Company had approximately 28 stockholders of record and in excess of 400 beneficial owners as of September 15, 2010.

For the fiscal years 2007 to 2009 and through the first quarter of fiscal 2010, the Company had a policy of paying regular quarterly cash dividends. In October 2009, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a change in the Company’s dividend policy to provide one annual dividend payment in lieu of quarterly dividends, with the first annual dividend in the amount of $.48 per share paid on December 16, 2009. The Board of Directors will continue to review the dividend policy on an ongoing basis, and the decision to pay dividends in fiscal 2011 and beyond has not been made. For the fiscal years ended June 30, 2010, 2009, and 2008, the Company declared cash dividends totaling $.60, $.48 and $.48, respectively, per common share.

In August 2008, the Company completed the purchase of 1,300,000 shares of its common stock at a purchase price of $13.00 per share pursuant to a modified “Dutch Auction” tender offer. In April 2001, the Board of Directors authorized management, at its discretion, to repurchase up to 1,000,000 shares of common stock. This authorization has no termination date, but the Board of Directors reviews the authorization to repurchase common stock from time to time. The Company repurchased 25,654 shares of common stock under this authorization during the year ended June 30, 2010, 35,328 during fiscal 2009 and 75,000 during fiscal 2008. As of September 15, 2010, 368,354 shares remain available under this authorization.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

General

The Company’s results include the operations of CalFirst Bank and CalFirst Leasing. 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. Other income primarily includes gains realized on the sale of leased property, income from sales-type and operating leases, gains realized on the sale of leases, gains or losses recorded on investment securities and other income. Income from sales-type leases relates to the re-lease of off-lease property (“lease extensions”) while operating lease income generally involves lease extensions that do not meet the accounting treatment required for sales-type leases.

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 current balance sheet structure is short-term in nature, with a greater portion of assets that reprice or mature within one year, although the increased investment in investment securities with longer maturities has diminished the maturity gap some. The Company’s interest margin also is susceptible to timing lags related to varying movements in market interest rates. Many of Company’s leases, loans and liquid investments are tied to U.S. treasury rates and Libor 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 in leases and loans held in its own portfolio, securities, lease transactions-in-process, and residual investments. The Company takes steps to manage risks through the implementation of strict credit and risk 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 following is a description of the most critical accounting policies management applies, all of which require the use of accounting estimates and management’s judgment, based on the relevant information available at the end of each period.

Allowance for Credit Losses – The allowance for credit losses provides coverage for probable and estimatable losses in the Company’s lease and commercial loan portfolios. The allowance recorded is based on a quarterly review of all leases and loans outstanding, loan commitments and transactions-in-process. 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 lease and loan portfolio, including levels of non-performing leases and loans, customers financial condition, leased property values as well as general economic conditions and credit quality indicators. The Company’s allowance includes an estimate of reserves needed to cover specifically identified lease and loan losses and certain unidentified but inherent risks in the portfolio.

Fair Value of Investments – Investment securities are characterized as held-to-maturity (Investments) or as available-for-sale (Securities Available-for-Sale) based on management’s ability and intent regarding such investment at acquisition. On an ongoing basis, management must estimate the fair value of its investment securities based on information and assumptions it deems reliable and reasonable, which may be quoted market prices or if quoted market prices are not available, fair values extrapolated from the quoted prices of similar instruments. Based on this information, an assessment must be made as to whether any decline in the fair value of an investment security should be considered an other-than-temporary impairment and recorded in non-interest income as a loss on investments. The determination of such impairment is subject to a variety of factors, including management’s judgment and experience.

Residual Values – For capital leases that qualify as direct financing leases, the aggregate lease payments receivable and estimated residual value, if any, are recorded on the balance sheet, net of unearned income and allowances, as net investment in leases. Of the volume of leases booked during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2010, 2009 and 2008, approximately 59.9%, 30.6% and 29.2%, respectively, were structured such that the Company owns the leased asset at the end of the term and therefore, the Company recorded a residual value. The residual value is an estimate for accounting purposes of the fair value of the leased property at lease termination and is determined at the inception of the lease based on the property leased and the terms and conditions of the underlying lease contract. The realizability of any estimated residual value depends on future collateral values, contractual options available to the lessee, the credit of the lessee, market conditions and other subjective and qualitative factors. The estimated residual values established at lease inception are periodically reviewed to determine if values are realizable and any identified losses are recognized at such time.

Initial Direct Costs Deferred – A portion of the Company’s non-interest expenses that management estimates is directly related to originating lease and loan transactions is deferred through a reduction to non-interest expenses recognized in a period. The amount deferred reflects management’s estimate of the expenses applicable to the origination process, taking into account a variety of factors including sales productivity, credit and documentation efficiency and estimates of completion percentages.

Deferred Income Taxes and Valuation Allowance – Deferred tax assets and liabilities result from temporary differences between the time income or expense items are recognized for financial statement purposes and for tax reporting. Such amounts are calculated using the enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The determination of current and deferred income taxes is based on complex analyses of many factors including interpretation of Federal and state income tax laws, the difference between tax and financial reporting basis of assets and liabilities (temporary differences), estimates of amounts due or owed such as the timing of reversals of temporary differences and current financial accounting standards. A valuation allowance is established if, based upon the relevant facts and circumstances, management believes that some or all of certain tax assets will not be realized. The Company has open tax years that may in the future be subject to examination by Federal and state taxing authorities. Management periodically evaluates the adequacy of related valuation allowances, taking into account open tax return positions, tax assessments received and tax law changes. The process of evaluating allowance accounts involves the use of estimates and a high degree of management judgment. Actual results could differ significantly from the estimates and interpretations used in determining the current and deferred income tax liabilities and reserves.

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, Trends and Outlook

Net earnings for the year ended June 30, 2010 of $11.1 million were up 19.6% from $9.3 million for the prior year. The improvement in earnings is primarily attributable to higher non-interest income due to a $4.3 million positive swing related to gains recognized on investment securities and a $1.8 million reduction in non-interest expenses. Net direct finance, loan and interest income after provision for credit losses remained flat at $21.6 million as net direct finance, loan and interest income declined in tandem with the decline in lease, loan and investment balances and the lower interest rate environment, but was offset by the benefit of lower charges related to credit losses.

For the year ended June 30, 2010, total leases and loans booked of $134.5 million were 31% below fiscal 2009 bookings. New lease bookings of $116.6 million were down 19% from $143.7 million, while new commercial loans boarded of $18.0 million were down 65%. The net investment in leases and loans of $257.8 million at June 30, 2010 was down 9% from $284.8 million at June 30, 2009. The Bank’s investment in leases and loans of $183.7 million at June 30, 2010 remained at 71% of the Company’s consolidated investment.

California First National Bancorp and Subsidiaries

During fiscal 2010, the Company focused attention on identifying loan and lease opportunities in addition to its traditional business, while monitoring the opportunities and risks in the securities markets. New lease and loan transactions approved (“lease and loan originations”) of over $200 million during fiscal 2010 were up 20% from the level in fiscal 2009 and the backlog of approved but un-booked leases and loans at June 30, 2010 is 80% above the level of a year ago. Property acquired for transactions-in-process of $26.8 million was 117% above the level at June 30, 2009. While the backlog above should result in growth in earning assets during fiscal 2011, earnings will be dependent on the interest rate environment and the credit quality of the Company’s customers and investments which are both dependent on the economic climate as well as actions of government bodies, including the Federal Reserve. Continued low interest rates will negatively affect the Company’s ability to realize returns consistent with yields earned on leases and investments when interest rates were higher. The ultimate growth in direct finance, loan and interest income is subject to a variety of factors including the impact of credit markets, interest rates, as well as customers’ financial condition and choices. All these factors are beyond management’s control and therefore any expectations are subject to change.

Consolidated Statement of Earnings Analysis

Summary – For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010, net earnings increased 19.6% to $11.1 million, compared to $9.3 million for fiscal 2009. Diluted earnings per share increased 20.8% to $1.08 for fiscal year ended June 30, 2010, compared to $0.89 per share for fiscal 2009. Net earnings reflect a 19% increase in non-interest income, a 14% decrease in non-interest expenses, while net direct finance, loan and interest income after provision for credit losses remained flat.

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 assets and interest paid on deposits or other borrowings. Net direct finance, loan and interest income is affected by changes in the volume and mix of interest earning assets and liabilities, the movement of interest rates, and funding and pricing strategies.

Net direct finance, loan and interest income was $21.9 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010 compared to $23.2 million for fiscal 2009 and $22.1 million in fiscal 2008. The decrease in fiscal 2010 from fiscal 2009 was due to a decrease of $3.2 million in direct finance income offset by a $1.8 million decrease in interest expense on deposits and borrowings and a slight increase in investment income of $96,000. The decrease in direct finance income reflects a 7.5% decline in the average investment in leases directly held by the Company and a 77 basis point decline in average yields on such investments. Commercial loan income was unchanged as a 15% increase in average commercial loan balances offset a 90 basis point decline in the average yield earned. The lower interest expense on deposits and borrowings reflected a 14% increase in average balances to $236.8 million while the average rate paid decreased by 114 basis points to 2.05%. Borrowings from the FHLB and Federal Reserve averaged $20.9 million during fiscal 2010 at an average cost of 1.2%.

The increase in net direct finance, loan and interest income in fiscal 2009 from fiscal 2008 was due to an increase of $2.7 million in interest earned on investments and $3.1 million increase in commercial loan income, offset by a decline of $3.8 million in direct finance income. These changes were primarily the result of changing lease and loan opportunities and the Company’s shift of available liquidity to higher yielding investments. The decrease in direct finance income reflects a 7.0% decline in the average investment in leases directly held by the Company and a 96 basis point decline in average yields on such investments. Commercial loan income growth reflects an almost 500% increase in average commercial loan balances, offset somewhat by an 86 basis point decline in the average yield earned. Higher interest expense on deposits reflects a 56% increase in average deposit balances to $183.8 million while the average rate paid decreased by 136 basis points. Borrowings from the FHLB and Federal Reserve averaged $23.7 million in fiscal 2009 at an average cost of 0.8%, which helped reduce the Company’s overall interest expense costs.

Provision for Credit Losses – The Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $350,000 in fiscal 2010, compared to a provision of $1.7 million recorded in fiscal 2009 and a provision of $1.2 million in fiscal 2008. The 2010 provision related to a 9% decline in the lease and loan portfolio during the year that offset any significant changes with the credit risk within the portfolios. The Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $1.7 million in fiscal 2009 related to substantial growth in and heightened credit risk within the commercial loan portfolio, as well as deterioration in the credit quality of certain customers. The provision of $1.2 million recorded in fiscal 2008 was due to the deterioration in the credit quality of certain leases and the growth of the commercial loan portfolio.

Total Non-interest Income – Total non-interest income accounted for 27% of the Company’s gross profit during the year ended June 30, 2010, compared to 24% during 2009 and 23% during 2008. Total non-interest income of $8.1 million for the year ended June 30, 2010 increased $1.3 million, or 19%, from $6.8 million in 2009 and was 32% higher than the $6.1 million earned in fiscal 2008. The increase in non-interest income in fiscal 2010 compared to fiscal 2009 includes $3.4 million of gains realized on the sale of investment securities, which increase was compounded by the other-than-temporary impairment charge of $869,000 taken in fiscal 2009. Excluding income related to investments, other income for fiscal 2010 declined $3.0 million primarily due to a $2.1 million decrease in income from leases reaching their end of term during the period and a $934,000 decline in income from the sale of leases.

The increase in non-interest income in fiscal 2009 compared to fiscal 2008 reflects an increase in the gain on sales of leases and leased property of $346,000, as higher income from sale of leases offset lower income from sale of leased property, as well as a $293,000 increase of in operating and sales-type income due to an increased volume of lease extensions and short-term lease renewals. Other fee income increased $212,000 on higher fees and charges collected. The Company recognized an other-than-temporary impairment loss on investment securities of $869,000 in fiscal 2009 compared to an impairment loss of $685,000 in fiscal 2008.

Non-interest Expenses – The Company’s non-interest expenses decreased $1.8 million, or 14%, to $11.6 million recognized for the year ended June 30, 2010. This compared to non-interest expenses in fiscal 2009 of $13.5 million, which had decreased by $2.4 million, or 15%, from $15.9 million in fiscal 2008. The decrease in non-interest expenses during fiscal 2010 is primarily due to lower salary and benefit costs with some savings from lower office costs and legal fees.

For the year ended June 30, 2009 non-interest expenses decreased $2.4 million, or 15%, to $13.5 million compared to non-interest expenses in fiscal 2008 of $15.9 million. The decrease in non-interest expenses during fiscal 2009 is due to lower fixed and variable office costs, including substantial savings from lower personnel costs.

Included in non-interest expenses are FDIC insurance premiums of $242,786, $228,427 and $74,917, respectively, for the fiscal years ending June 30, 2010, 2009 and 2008. The FDIC increased the assessment rate for the Bank from 5 basis points annually to 12 basis points effective June 30, 2009. Consequently, FDIC insurance premiums increased in fiscal 2010 despite lower average deposit balances. The Bank’s FDIC insurance premium rates were not increased during 2009 and 2008, although amounts paid increased in connection with the growth in deposits. Included in the fiscal 2009 amount is a special FDIC assessment of $130,000 recorded in June 2009. In lieu of further special assessments, the FDIC implemented a rule to require all insured depository institutions to prepay their estimated risk-based assessments for the fourth quarter of calendar 2009, and for all of calendar 2010, 2011, and 2012 on December 30, 2009. While the Bank paid such fee in whole in December 2009, such amount is amortized over the applicable 39-month period, and only the appropriate amount for the last nine months of fiscal 2010 is recorded as an expense in fiscal 2010.

Income Taxes – Income taxes were accrued at a tax rate of 38.25% for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010 compared to 37.50% for fiscal year ended June 30, 2009 and fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, representing the Company’s estimated annual tax rates for each respective year. The increase in the rate for fiscal 2010 was primarily due to a decline in the amount of leases where the associated income is exempt for Federal income tax purposes. The income tax rate remained the same in fiscal 2009 compared to fiscal 2008 due to a similar amount of interest earned on leases where interest earned is exempt from certain taxes. Tax-exempt leases represented approximately 5.2% of new lease bookings in fiscal 2010, compared to 6.6% during fiscal 2009 and 11.7% in fiscal 2008.

Financial Condition Analysis

Lease Portfolio

The Company currently funds a high percentage of new lease transactions internally, with only a small portion of leases assigned to unaffiliated financial institutions. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010, approximately 85% of the total dollar amount of new leases booked by the Company were held in its own portfolio, compared to 87% during fiscal 2009 and 92% during fiscal 2008. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010, the Company’s net investment in lease receivables decreased by $24.8 million and the investment in estimated residual values increased by $3.5 million. The decrease in the investment in lease receivables is primarily due to a larger run-off from the lease portfolio than new lease transactions booked and retained by the Company, while the increase in investment in residual values is due to a higher volume of new leases on which the Company records a residual compared to the volume of residual values recognized at end of term.

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 generally is contractually obligated by the lease to make rental payments directly to the Company during the period that the transaction is in process, and 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 June 30, 2010, the Company’s investment in property acquired for transactions-in-process was $26.8 million, up from $12.4 million at June 30, 2009, and $2.2 million below the $29.0 million at June 30, 2008.

The Company leases capital assets to businesses and other commercial or non-profit organizations. All leases are secured by the underlying property being leased. The Company’s strategy is to develop lease portfolios with risk/reward profiles that meet its objectives. The Company avoids risks that do not meet these requirements through the use of non-recourse financing. The strategy emphasizes diversification on both a geographic and customer level, and spreading the Company’s risk across a breadth of leases while managing the risk to any one customer. During the year ended June 30, 2010, one customer accounted for 27% of the aggregate property cost of leases booked during the fiscal year. In no other period has one lessee represented more than 5% of leases booked in any one fiscal year. At June 30, 2010, this one customer accounted for 8% of the Company’s gross lease payments receivable and 23% of the gross investment in residual values. No other customer represented more than 5% of the Company’s investment in lease receivables or residuals. The investment in leases is diversified geographically, with the Company’s portfolio spread across all fifty states. At June 30, 2010, Texas (17%) and California (15%) were the only states that represented more than 10% of the Company’s net investment in leases. The Company has no exposure to foreign lessees. The Company’s leases are with lessees in a wide spectrum of industries; however, at June 30, 2010 approximately 33% of the Company’s net investment in capital leases was with public and private colleges, universities, elementary and secondary schools located throughout the United States (compared to 34% at June 30, 2009). The only other industry sector representing more than 10% was the oil and gas industry. The educational portfolio includes over 503 leases with over 221 different lessees. One university represented approximately 2% of the Company’s net investment in leases. The Company believes the exposure to this sector is warranted based on the historically good credit profile of this group.

Commercial Loan Portfolio

The Company’s commercial loan balance was $65.4 million at June 30, 2010 compared to $71.1 million at June 30, 2009, a decrease of 8%. The commercial loan portfolio is comprised primarily of participations in leveraged loan syndications where the loans are secured by the borrower and the borrower’s subsidiary guarantor’s assets. Commercial loan syndications represent 81.4% of the commercial loan portfolio with the remainder of the portfolio comprised of commercial real estate loans and revolving lines of credit originated directly by the Company. The loan portfolio at June 30, 2010 is distributed among 19 credits with an average balance of $3.6 million and the largest of $6.4 million, and includes companies in a variety of industries and dispersed around the country. However, there is some concentration in the hotel industry, with loans of $8.5 million representing 12% of the loan portfolio. The following table summarized the Company’s commercial loan portfolio as of June 30, 2010, 2009 and 2008:

Securities Available-for-Sale

The Company maintains a portfolio of investment securities to generate interest and investment income from the investment of excess funds depending on lease and loan demand and to provide liquidity. Total securities available-for-sale were $68.0 million as of June 30, 2010, compared to $115.5 million at June 30, 2009. The carrying cost and fair value of the Company’s securities portfolio at June 30, 2010 and 2009 is as follows:

Equity investment		-		-		578		500
Total securities available-for-sale	$	63,759	$	67,954	$	113,420	$	115,530

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010, the Company’s portfolio of investment securities declined $47.6 million to $68.0 million. The decrease during the year related to the sale of $83.3 million of trust-preferred securities and collateralized mortgage obligations for a pretax gain of $3.4 million. Offsetting these sales were the purchase of $18.3 million of corporate bonds and the unrealized gains in the portfolio. Management evaluates investment securities for other-than-temporary impairment on a quarterly basis. Consideration is given to the length of time and the 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 in fair value.

At June 30, 2010 the available-for-sale securities portfolio included a $4.2 million net unrealized pre-tax gain compared with a net unrealized pre-tax gain of $2.1 million at June 30, 2009. The weighted-average maturity at June 30, 2010 was 2.7 years and the corresponding weighted-average yield was 5.13 percent.

Asset Quality

The Company monitors the performance of all leases and loans held in its own portfolio, transactions-in-process and loan commitments 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 days delinquent is conducted. Customers who 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 will be discontinued when the customer becomes ninety days or more past due on its lease or loan 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 doubt about the ability of the customer to meet its lease or loan 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.

in leases and loans before allowances		3.6	%		3.5	%		1.0	%		0.7	%		0.9	%

Non-performing assets decreased during fiscal 2010 due primarily to the write-off of unrecoverable receivables offset by the addition of smaller problems and the receipt of payments. Restructured leases and loans at June 30, 2010 and 2009 primarily relates to the inclusion of a restructured loan and lease with one customer for an aggregate amount of $8.0 million at June 30, 2010. These transactions were restructured to lower payments near term and increase the effective yield, without lengthening the term of the overall exposure. This relationship has been current with its restructured payments throughout the year ended June 30, 2010 and the transactions remained on an accrual basis. The restructured lease and loan balance also includes leases revised to assist lessees with cash flow problems caused by the weakening economy. Direct finance income that would have been recorded had non-accrual leases at each respective fiscal year end been current in accordance with their original terms would have been $112,150, $177,228 and $110,118 during fiscal 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The amount of direct finance income actually recorded on non-performing leases was $115,329, $74,671 and $225,582 during fiscal 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

In addition to the transactions identified as non-performing above, there was $3.0 million of investment in leases and $5.5 million of loans at June 30, 2010 which are rated substandard and therefore at higher risk for not being able to meet their existing obligations. This compared to $2.0 million of leases and no loans considered substandard at June 30, 2009. Although these substandard or doubtful leases and loans 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. The amount has fluctuated throughout the year ended June 30, 2010 as potential problems have been identified, with increases offset by payments received, re-classification as non-accrual or actual write-offs.

Allowance for Credit Losses

The allowance for credit losses and the residual valuation allowance provide 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, loan commitments and transactions-in-process to determine that it is adequate to cover these inherent losses. The evaluation of each element and the overall allowance is based on a continuing assessment of problem credits, recent loss experience and other factors, including regulatory guidance and economic conditions. The Company utilizes similar processes to estimate its liability for unfunded loan commitments, which is included in other liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Both the allowance for credit losses and the liability for unfunded loan commitments are included in the Company’s analysis of credit losses. 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 lease and loan portfolio.

The allowance for credit losses decreased to $4.47 million (1.7% of net investment in leases and loans) at June 30, 2010 from $4.83 million (1.7% of net investment in leases and loans) at June 30, 2009. The allowance at June 30, 2010 consisted of $1.0 million allocated to specific accounts that were identified as problems and $3.42 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 $2.95 million that was available to cover losses inherent in the portfolio at such date. The allowance allocated to specific accounts decreased by $811,000 primarily due to the charge-off of almost $800,000 in problem receivables while few new specific problems were identified. At June 30, 2010, the volume of transactions-in-process was up 117% from the end of the prior year and the volume of unfunded commitments increased 81%. Based on the above factors, the Company considers the allowance for credit losses of $4.5 million at June 30, 2010 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 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, a continued economic slowdown 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. As the Company has retained a significantly greater percentage of leases and loans in its own portfolio, this creates increased exposure to delinquencies, repossessions, foreclosures and losses than the Company has historically experienced.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company funds its operating activities through internally generated funds, bank deposits, Federal Home Loan Bank and Federal Reserve Bank advances and non-recourse debt. At June 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents were $74.0 million and $55.2 million, respectively. Stockholders’ equity at June 30, 2010 was $198.5 million, or 43.8% of total assets, compared to $191.4 million, or 39% of total assets, at June 30, 2009. At June 30, 2010, the Company and the Bank exceed their regulatory capital requirements and are considered “well-capitalized” under guidelines established by the FRB and the OCC.

California First National Bancorp and Subsidiaries

Deposits at CalFirst Bank totaled $205.9 million at June 30, 2010, compared to $220.9 million at June 30, 2009. The $15.0 million decrease was commensurate with the decline in the Bank’s lease and loan portfolio. While deposit balances declined in fiscal 2010, they were up 32% from June 30, 2008. The Bank is competitive with major institutions in terms of its structure of interest rates, and generally offers interest rates on deposit accounts that are higher than the national average. Rates paid by the Bank on deposits have declined in varying degrees in response to the general decrease in market rates and the competitive environment. The following table presents average balances and average rates paid on deposits for years ended June 30, 2010, 2009 and 2008:

During fiscal 2009, the Bank entered into borrowing agreements with the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco and as such, can take advantage of FHLB programs for overnight and term advances at published daily rates. The Bank had outstanding balance of $10.0 million under the Federal Home Loan Bank agreement at June 30, 2010, classified as long-term. Under terms of the blanket collateral agreement, advances from the FHLB are collateralized by qualifying investment securities, with $2.6 million available under the agreement as of June 30, 2010. The Bank also has the authority to borrow from the Federal Reserve Bank (“FRB”) discount window amounts secured by certain lease receivables with unused borrowing availability of approximately $48.5 million. The average annual interest rate paid on total borrowings was 1.18% for the year ended June 30, 2010.

CalFirst Leasing’s capital expenditures for leased property purchases are sometimes financed by assigning certain base 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 June 30, 2010, the Company had outstanding non-recourse debt aggregating $14.3 million relating to property under leases assigned to unaffiliated parties. 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.

At June 30, 2010, CalFirst Leasing has a $15 million line of credit with a bank. 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, 2011. The agreement is unsecured, however, the Company guarantees CalFirst Leasing’s obligations. No borrowings have been made under this line of credit as of June 30, 2010.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

The following table summarizes various contractual obligations at June 30, 2010. Commitments to purchase property for unfunded leases are binding but generally have fixed expiration dates and other termination clauses. Commercial loan commitments are agreements to purchase participation or lend to a customer 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 commitment amounts do not necessarily represent the Company’s future liquidity requirements.

(1)	Disbursements to purchase property on approved lease or loan commitments are estimated to be completed within one year, but it is likely that some portion could be deferred or never funded.

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 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market risk is the risk of loss in a financial instrument arising from changes in market indices such as interest rates and equity 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 securities and deposits represent a greater portion of the Company’s assets and liabilities, the Company is subject to increased market risk. The Bank has an Asset/Liability Management Committee and policies established to manage its interest rate and market risk.

At June 30, 2010, the Company had $77.3 million of cash or invested in securities of very short duration, with another $9.7 million of securities that mature within twelve months. The Company’s gross investment in lease payments receivable and loan principal of $282.2 million consists of leases with fixed rates and loans with fixed and variable rates, however, $159.5 million of such investment is due within one year of June 30, 2010. This compares to the Bank’s interest bearing deposit liabilities of $205.9 million, of which 87%, or $179.7 million, mature within one year. 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. Based on the foregoing, at June 30, 2010 the Company had assets of $246.5 million subject to changes in interest rates over the next twelve months, compared to repricing liabilities of $179.9 million.

California First National Bancorp and Subsidiaries

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. However, the traditional 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. Sudden and substantial increase or decrease in interest rates may adversely impact our 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, the Bank measures its asset/liability position through duration measures and sensitivity analysis, and calculates the potential effect on earnings using maturity gap analysis. The interest rate sensitivity modeling includes the creation of prospective twelve month "baseline" and "rate shocked" net interest income simulations. After a "baseline" net interest income is determined, using assumptions that the Bank deems reasonable, market interest rates are raised or lowered by 100 to 300 basis points instantaneously, parallel across the entire yield curve, and a "rate shocked" simulation is run. Interest rate sensitivity is then measured as the difference between calculated "baseline" and "rate shocked" net interest income.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of California First National Bancorp

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of California First National Bancorp and Subsidiaries as of June 30, 2010 and 2009 and the related consolidated statements of earnings, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2010. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of California First National Bancorp and Subsidiaries as of June 30, 2010 and 2009, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2010, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

Nature of Operations

California First National Bancorp, a California corporation (the “Company”) is a bank holding company with two subsidiaries, California First National Bank (“CalFirst Bank” or the “Bank”) and California First Leasing Corp. (“CalFirst Leasing”). CalFirst Leasing and CalFirst Bank lease capital assets to customers located throughout the United States and re-market leased assets at lease expiration. CalFirst Bank also participates in the market for commercial loan syndications, provides business loans to fund the purchase of assets leased by third parties, including CalFirst Leasing, and offers commercial loans directly to businesses. As an FDIC-insured national bank, CalFirst Bank gathers deposits from a centralized location primarily by posting rates on the Internet.

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of California First National Bancorp and its wholly owned subsidiaries, CalFirst Bank and CalFirst Leasing. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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 period. Critical accounting estimates particularly susceptible to change include the allowance for credit losses, residual values and taxes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of these statements, cash and cash equivalents include cash in banks, cash in demand deposit accounts, money market accounts and federal funds sold, all of which have initial maturities of less than ninety days. Included in cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2010 and 2009 was $45,438,211 and $17,833,088, respectively, that was held by the Bank and was only available to fund the Bank’s operations.

Securities

Securities are designated at the time of acquisition as available for sale or held to maturity. Securities that the Company will hold for indefinite periods of time and that might be sold in the future as part of efforts to manage interest rate risk, or in response to changes in interest rates, changes in prepayment rates, changes in market conditions or changes in economic factors are classified as available for sale and carried at fair values. Net aggregate unrealized gains or losses are reported, net of taxes, as a component of stockholders’ equity through other comprehensive income. Securities that the Company has the intent and ability to hold until maturity are classified as Investments “held-to-maturity” and are stated at cost adjusted for amortization of premium or accretion of discount. The Company does not have any classified as trading.

The Company conducts a regular assessment of its securities portfolio to determine whether any are other-than-temporarily impaired. In estimating other-than-temporary impairment losses, management considers, among other factors, the 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 for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery. The term “other-than-temporary” is not intended to indicate that the decline is permanent, but indicates that the prospects for a near-term recovery of value is not necessarily favorable, or that there is a lack of evidence to support a realizable value equal to or greater than the carrying value of the investment. Once a decline in value for a debt security is determined to be other-than-temporary, the other-than-temporary impairment is separated into (a) the amount of the total other-than-temporary impairment related to a decrease in cash flows expected to be collected from the debt security (the credit loss) and (b) the amount of the total other-than-temporary impairment related to all other factors. The amount of the total other-than-temporary impairment related to the credit loss is recognized in earnings. The amount of the total other-than-temporary impairment related to all other factors is recognized in other comprehensive income. For equity securities, the full amount of the other-than-temporary impairment is recorded in non-interest income as an impairment loss on investment securities.

Leases

Capital Leases

New lease transactions are generally structured as direct financing leases. The re-lease of property that has come off lease may be accounted for as a sales-type lease or as an operating lease, depending on the terms of the re-lease. Leased property that comes off lease and is re-marketed through a sale to the lessee or a third party is accounted for as sale of leased property.

For leases that qualify as direct financing leases, the aggregate lease payments receivable and estimated residual value, if any, are recorded net of unearned income as net investment in leases. The unearned income is recognized as direct finance income on an internal rate of return method calculated to achieve a level yield on the Company’s investment over the lease term. There are no costs or expenses related to direct financing leases since lease income is recorded on a net basis.

For leases that qualify as sales-type leases, the Company recognizes profit or loss at lease inception to the extent the fair value of the property leased differs from the Company's carrying value. The difference between the discounted value of the aggregate lease payments receivable and the property cost, less the discounted value of the residual, if any, and any initial direct costs is recorded as sales-type lease income. For balance sheet purposes, the aggregate lease payments receivable, and estimated residual value, if any, are recorded net of unearned income as net investment in leases. Unearned income is recognized as direct finance income over the lease term on an internal rate of return method.

The residual value is an estimate for accounting purposes of the fair value of the lease property at lease termination. The estimates are reviewed periodically to ensure reasonableness, however, the amounts the Company may ultimately realize could differ from the estimated amounts.

The Company sometimes assigns, on a non-recourse basis, the minimum lease payments receivable related to certain leases to financial institutions at fixed interest rates. When leases are assigned to unaffiliated financial institutions without recourse, the discounted value of the minimum lease payments receivable is recategorized on the balance sheet as discounted lease rentals assigned to lenders. The related obligations resulting from the discounting of the leases are recorded as non-recourse debt. The unearned income related to the lease is reduced by the interest expense from the non-recourse debt. In the event of default by a lessee, the lender has a first lien against the underlying leased property with no further recourse against the Company. If this occurs, the Company may not realize its residual investment in the leased property.

A portion of the Company's non-interest expenses directly related to originating direct financing lease transactions is deferred through a reduction to non-interest expenses recognized in the period, with the deferred costs amortized over the lease term as a reduction to direct finance income utilizing the effective interest method.

Operating Leases

Lease contracts, which do not meet the criteria of capital leases, are accounted for as operating leases. Property on operating leases is recorded at the lower of cost or fair value and depreciated on a straight-line basis over the lease term to the estimated residual value at the termination of the lease. Most operating leases involve the re-lease of off-lease property and the associated cost is the Company’s estimated residual. Rental income is recorded monthly or quarterly when due.

Loans

Loans are reported at their principal amount outstanding, net of unearned discounts and unamortized nonrefundable fees and direct costs associated with their origination or acquisition. Interest earned on loans without discounts is credited to income based on loan principal amounts outstanding at appropriate interest rates. Material origination and other nonrefundable fees net of direct costs and discounts on loans are credited to income over the terms of the loans using a method that approximates an effective yield.

California First National Bancorp and Subsidiaries

Allowance for Credit Losses

The allowance for credit losses is an estimate based on management’s judgment applying the principles of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 450, “Contingencies,” and ASC Topic 310-35, “Loan Impairment.” The allowance for credit losses and residual valuation allowance are periodically reviewed for adequacy considering levels of past due payments and non-performing assets, customers’ financial condition, leased property values as well as general economic conditions and credit quality indicators. The need for reserves is subject to future events, which by their nature are uncertain. Therefore, changes in economic conditions or other events affecting specific customers or industries may necessitate additions or deductions to the allowance for credit losses or the residual valuation allowance. The allowance is maintained at a level believed to be adequate to absorb probable losses inherent in the portfolios.

The determination of the adequacy of the allowance is based on an assessment of the inherent loss potential in the lease and loan portfolio given the conditions at the time. The allowance for credit losses begins with a process of estimating the probable losses inherent in the portfolio. The estimates for these leases and commercial loans are established by category and based on the Company’s internal system of credit risk ratings and historical loss data.

The estimate of losses inherent in the lease and loan portfolio may then be adjusted for management’s estimate of probable losses on specific exposures as well as trends in delinquent and non-accrual leases and loans and other factors such as prevailing economic conditions, lending strategies, and other influencing factors. The lease and loan portfolio may have a specific allowance established based on the borrower’s overall financial condition, resources and payment record, support from guarantors, and the realizable value of any collateral.

Property Acquired for Transactions-in-process

Property acquired for transactions-in-process represents partial deliveries of property which the lessee has accepted on in-process lease transactions. Such amounts are stated at cost, net of any lessee payments related to the property. Income is not recognized while a transaction is in process and prior to the commencement of the lease. At lease commencement, any pre-commencement payments are included in minimum lease payments receivable and the unearned income is recognized as direct finance income over the lease term.

Earnings Per Share

Basic net income per share is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net income per share includes the effect of the potential shares outstanding, including dilutive stock options, using the treasury stock method.

The following table reconciles the components of the basic net income per share calculation to diluted net income per share:

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) became effective July 1, 2009 for annual reporting periods ending after September 15, 2009. At that date, the ASC became the FASB’s officially recognized source of authoritative GAAP applicable to all public and non-public nongovernmental entities, superseding existing FASB, American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, Emerging Issues Tax Force, and related literature. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under the authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. All other accounting literature is considered non-authoritative. The change to ASC affects the way companies refer to GAAP in financial statements and accounting policies. Citing particular content in the ASC involves specifying the unique numeric path to the content through the Topic, Subtopic, Section, and Paragraph structure.

In August 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2009-05, Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value, which updates ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. The updated guidance clarifies how entities should estimate the fair value of liabilities. ASC 820, as amended, includes clarifying guidance for circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market is not available, the effect of the existence of liability transfer restrictions, and the effect of quoted prices for the identical liability, including when the identical liability is traded as an asset. The amended guidance in ASC 820 on measuring liabilities at fair value is effective for the first interim or annual reporting period beginning after August 28, 2009. The Company adopted this guidance on October 1, 2009. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-06, Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements, which updates ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. The updated guidance adds new requirements for disclosures about transfers into and out of Levels 1 and 2 and separate disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements relating to Level 3 measurements. It also clarifies existing fair value disclosures about the level of disaggregation and about inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The amended guidance in ASU 2010-06 is effective for the first interim or annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the requirement to provide the Level 3 activity of purchase, sales, issuances, and settlements on a gross basis, which will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010. The adoption of the guidance did not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

In February 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-09, Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements, which updates ASC 855, Subsequent Events. This updated guidance removes the requirement for public entities to disclose the date through which subsequent events procedures have been evaluated. The Company adopted this guidance upon its issuance. The adoption did not have any impact on our financial position or results of operations.

In July 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-20, “Receivables (Topic 310): Disclosure about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses,” an additional disclosure requirement regarding credit quality and the allowance for credit losses. The new disclosure will require significantly more information about the credit quality of the Company’s portfolio. Although this statement addresses only disclosure and does not seek to change recognition or measurement, the disclosure represents a meaningful change in practice. The new disclosure requirement will cover the Company’s commercial loans as well as direct finance, sales-type and operating leases. The disclosures are to be presented at the level of disaggregation that management uses when assessing and monitoring the portfolios’ risk and performance and will be effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after December 15, 2010.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the fiscal 2008 and 2009 financial statements to conform to the presentation of the fiscal 2010 financial statements.

Note 2 – Investments

Investments are carried at cost and consist of the following:


	June 30, 2010				June 30, 2009
	Carrying Cost		Fair Value		Carrying Cost		Fair Value
	(dollars in thousands)
Federal Reserve Bank Stock	$	1,655	$	1,655	$	1,055	$	1,055
Federal Home Loan Bank Stock		1,604		1,604		1,666		1,666
Mortgage-backed investments		761		824		1,349		1,405
	$	4,020	$	4,083	$	4,070	$	4,126

The investment in Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco (“FHLB”) stock is a required investment related to CalFirst Bank’s 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. These investments have no stated maturity.

The mortgage-backed investments consist of two U.S. agency issued securities. 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 June 30, 2009, the change in fair value of the equity and mutual fund investments was primarily due to the downturn in the equity markets, and concerns for the long-term recovery of the economy and credit derivative markets. During the third quarter of fiscal 2009, the Company recorded a pre-tax impairment charge of $869,000 related to two closed-end mutual fund investments held in the investment portfolio. While the Company had the ability and intent to retain these investments for a sufficient time to recover its investment, and dividend payments continued to be received at the same level, given the significant developments that have affected the market for these securities and the volatility of trading, the Company determined that an other-than-temporary impairment occurred.

At June 30, 2010, securities with carrying values of $10.1 million were pledged to secure $10.0 million borrowed from the FHLB.

Note 8 – Borrowings:

At June 30, 2010, CalFirst Leasing had a $15 million line of credit with a bank. The purpose of the line is to provide resources as needed for investment in transactions-in-process and leases. The agreement provides for borrowings based on Libor, requires a commitment fee on the unused line balance and allows for advances through March 31, 2011. The agreement is unsecured, however, the Company guarantees CalFirst Leasing’s obligations. Under provisions of the agreement, CalFirst Leasing must maintain a minimum net worth and profitability, and is prohibited from repaying any indebtedness owed to the Company. No borrowings have been made under this line of credit as of June 30, 2010.

CalFirst Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco (“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. At June 30, 2010, CalFirst Bank had unused borrowing availability of approximately $48.5 million with the FRB and $2.6 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. Short-term borrowings and long-term debt and weighted average interest rates at June 30, 2010 and 2009 were as follows:

	June 30, 2010					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

The principal amount of the long-term FHLB advance matures on January 12, 2012.

Note 9 – Deposits:

The composition of deposits is as follows:

	June 30, 2010				June 30, 2009

Time certificates of deposits with balances of $100,000 or more amounted to $85.7 million and $80.1 million at June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Interest expense on such deposits amounted to $2.1 million for the year ended June 30, 2010, and $2.7 million for the years ended June 30, 2009 and 2008.

Note 10 – Fair Value Measurement:

ASC Topic 820: “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” 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 Topic 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 unadjusted 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 and based on the entity’s own judgment. 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. The Company’s financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis include primarily securities available-for-sale and at June 30, 2010, there were no liabilities subject to ASC 820.

Securities available-for-sale include corporate bonds, U.S. Treasury Securities, and mutual fund investments and generally are reported at fair value utilizing Level 1 and Level 2 inputs. At June 30, 2009, they also included collateralized mortgage obligations issued by government-backed agencies, trust-preferred securities, and an equity security. The fair value of collateralized mortgage obligations and 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 trust preferred securities, U.S. Treasury Securities, mutual funds and common stock 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).

California First National Bancorp and Subsidiaries

The following table summarizes the Company’s assets, which are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2010 and 2009:

(in thousands)	Total		Quoted Price in Active Markets for Identical Assets		Significant Other Observable Inputs		Significant Unobservable Inputs

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 June 30, 2010 and 2009.

Note 11 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments:

In accordance with ASC 825-50, the following table summarizes the estimated fair value of financial instruments as of June 30, 2010, and June 30, 2009, and includes financial instruments that are not accounted for or carried at fair value. In accordance with disclosure guidance, 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 aggregate of the fair values presented does not represent the total 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 investments and available-for-sale 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.

Note 12 – Income Taxes:

The Company accounts for its income taxes under ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” Among other provisions, this standard requires deferred tax balances to be determined using the enacted income tax rate for the years in which taxes will be paid or refunds received. From time to time, various governmental taxing authorities audit the Company. The Company believes that its accrual for income taxes is adequate for adjustments, if any, which may result from these examinations.

The provision for income taxes is summarized as follows:

	Years ended June 30,
	2010			2009			2008
	(in thousands)
Current tax (benefit) expense:
Federal	$	934		$	(494	)	$	2,861

		4,524			4,947			410
	$	6,893		$	5,581		$	4,189

At June 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company had an income taxes receivable balance of $3,816,000 and $3,968,000 respectively.

California First National Bancorp and Subsidiaries

Deferred taxes result principally from the method of recording lease income on capital leases and depreciation methods for tax reporting, which differ from financial statement reporting. Deferred income tax liabilities (assets) are comprised of the following:

	June 30,
	2010			2009
	(in thousands)
Deferred income tax liabilities:
Tax operating leases	$	16,475		$	12,860
Deferred selling expenses		1,853			1,955

Total assets		(2,430	)		(2,864	)
Net deferred income tax liabilities	$	17,233		$	12,672

The differences between the Federal statutory income tax rate and the Company's effective tax rate are as follows:

	Years ended June 30,
	2010			2009			2008
Federal statutory rate		35.00	%		35.00	%		35.00	%
State tax, net of Federal benefit		5.36			4.70			5.30
Other, mainly tax exempt leases		(2.11	)		(2.20	)		(2.80	)
Effective rate		38.25	%		37.50	%		37.50	%

As of June 30, 2010, there was $715,000 of unrecognized tax benefits, all of which, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate. The Company’s policy is to include interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. As of June 30, 2010, accrued penalties and interest on unrecognized tax benefits are estimated to be $156,000.

The following table sets forth the change in unrecognized tax benefits:

	Years ended June 30,
	2010			2009
	(dollars in thousands)
Balance, beginning of period	$	885		$	700
Increase for tax positions in current year		58			502
Decreases for tax positions taken in prior years		(87	)		(124	)
Lapse of statue of limitations		(113	)		(154	)
Decrease for interest and penalties		(28	)		(39	)
Balance, end of period	$	715		$	885

At June 30, 2010, there have been no material changes to the liability for uncertain tax positions and unrecognized tax benefits. The amount of unrecognized tax benefits may increase or decrease in the future for various reasons including additions related to current year tax positions, the expiration of the statute of limitations on open tax years, status of examinations and changes in management’s judgment. The Company is subject to U.S. Federal income tax jurisdiction as well as multiple state and local tax jurisdictions as a result of doing business in most states. The Company’s Federal tax returns are subject to examination from 2007 to the present, while state income tax returns are generally open from 2006 forward, and vary by individual state statutes of limitation.

Note 13 – Capital Structure and Stock-based Compensation:

At June 30, 2010, the Company has 20,000,000 authorized shares of common stock and is authorized to issue 2,500,000 shares of preferred stock, from time to time, in one or more series and to fix the voting powers, designations, preferences and the relative participating, optional or other rights, if any, of any wholly unissued series of preferred stock.

In November 1995, the Company’s stockholders approved the 1995 Equity Participation Plan (the “1995 Plan”). The 1995 Plan provides for the granting of options, restricted stock and stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) to key employees, directors and consultants of the Company. Under the 1995 Plan, the maximum number of shares of common stock that can be issued upon the exercise of options or SARs, or upon the vesting of restricted stock awards, was initially 1,000,000, but the maximum number of available shares of common stock could increase by an amount equal to 1% of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of common stock as of June 30 of the fiscal year immediately preceding such fiscal year. Each grant or issuance under the 1995 Plan is set forth in a separate agreement and indicates, as determined by the stock option committee, the type, terms, vesting period and conditions of the award.

On July 1, 2005, the Company implemented ASC Topic 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”). ASC 718 addresses accounting for equity-based compensation arrangements, including employee stock options. The Company adopted the “modified prospective method” where stock-based compensation expense is recorded beginning on the adoption date and prior periods are not restated. Under this method, compensation expense is recognized using the fair-value based method for all new awards granted after July 1, 2005. Additionally, compensation expense for unvested stock options that are 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 year ended June 30, 2010, the Company had no stock-based compensation expense, compared to $12,066 for the year ended June 30, 2009. Such expense related to options granted during the fiscal years 2002 through 2004. The Company has not awarded any new grants since fiscal 2004 and has calculated the stock-based compensation expense based upon the original grant date fair value as allowed under ASC 718.

The following table summarizes activity related to stock options for the periods indicated:

Note 14 – Regulatory Capital Requirements:

The Company and CalFirst Bank are subject to regulatory capital adequacy guidelines administered by federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can result in the initiation of certain actions by the federal agencies that, if undertaken, could have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements. The Company currently is required to maintain (i) Tier 1 risk-based capital equal to at least six percent (6%) of its risk-weighted assets; (ii) total risk-based capital (the sum of Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital) equal to ten percent (10%) of risk-weighted assets; and (iii) a minimum Tier 1 "leverage ratio" (measuring Tier 1 risk-based capital as a percentage of adjusted total assets) of at least five percent (5%). CalFirst Bank is subject to risk-based and leverage capital requirements mandated by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. The Bank is required to maintain (i) a minimum ratio of Tier 1 risked-based capital to risk-adjusted assets of four percent (4%) and (ii) a minimum ratio of qualifying total capital to risk-adjusted assets of eight percent (8%).

The following table presents capital and capital ratio information for the Company and its banking subsidiary as of June 30, 2010 and 2009. At June 30, 2010, the Company and CalFirst Bank exceeded all capital requirements by significant amounts.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that it 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. 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 and have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are adequate and effective for the purposes set forth in the definition in Exchange Act rules.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

The management of California First National Bancorp is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the Company’s principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by the Company’s board of directors, management and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:

Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company;

Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and

Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risks that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2010. In making its assessment, management used the criteria set forth in the Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). The assessment included the documentation and understanding of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Management evaluated the design effectiveness and tested the operating effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting to form its conclusion.

Based on this evaluation, management concluded that, as of June 30, 2010, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting is effective to provide reasonable assurance that the Company’s financial statements are fairly presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Vavrinek, Trine, Day and Co., LLP, independent registered public accounting firm, is not required to nor has it reported on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2010.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no significant changes made during the most recent fiscal year to the Company's internal controls or other factors that could significantly affect the Company's internal control over financial reporting
