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

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1- BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of California First National Bancorp (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries California First National Bank (“CalFirst Bank” or the “Bank”) and California First Leasing Corporation (“CalFirst Leasing”) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2010. The material under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” is written with the presumption that the readers have read or have access to the 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K, which contains Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations as of June 30, 2010 and for the year then ended.
In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the balance sheet as of March 31, 2011 and the statements of earnings, cash flows and stockholders’ equity for the three and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010. The results of operations for the three and nine month period ended March 31, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the entire fiscal year ending June 30, 2011.
NOTE 2 – RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In April 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-02, “Receivables (Topic 310): A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring Is a Troubled Debt Restructuring.” ASU 2011-02 amends ASC 310-40, “Receivables — Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors” existing guidance to assist creditors in determining whether a modification of the terms of a receivable meets the definition of a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”). The guidance does not change previous standards that a restructuring of debt constitutes a TDR “if the creditor for economic or legal reasons related to the debtor’s financial difficulties grants a concession to the debtor that it would not otherwise consider,” but provides clarification on determining whether a debtor is in financial difficulty and if a concession was granted. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after June 15, 2011, and should be applied retrospectively to restructurings occurring on or after the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.
NOTE 3 – STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
At March 31, 2011, the Company has one stock option plan, which is more fully described in Note 13 in the Company’s 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Company has not awarded any new grants since fiscal 2004 and has not recognized compensation expense related to unvested shares since September 2008.

NOTE 4 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT
FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“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 at March 31, 2011. There were no liabilities subject to ASC 820.
Securities available-for-sale include corporate bonds, municipal bonds, U.S. Treasury Securities, mutual fund investments and equity investments and generally are reported at fair value utilizing Level 1 and Level 2 inputs. The fair value of corporate and municipal 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). U.S. Treasury Securities, equity investments and mutual funds are valued by reference to the market closing or last trade price (Level 1 inputs). In the unlikely event that no trade occurred on the applicable date, an indicative bid or the last trade most proximate to the applicable date would be used (Level 2 input).
The following table summarizes the Company’s assets, which are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2011 and June 30, 2010:

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 March 31, 2011 and June 30, 2010.

NOTE 5 – FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
In accordance with ASC 825-50, the following table summarizes the estimated fair value of financial instruments as of March 31, 2011, and June 30, 2010, 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 fair value of the Company’s assets. 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, 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 traded 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 borrowings is estimated based on discounted cash flows using current offered market rates or interest rates for instruments of similar maturity.
The estimated fair values of financial instruments were as follows:

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.
9
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.

The Company did not have any unrealized losses on available-for-sale securities at June 30, 2010.
The Company conducts a regular assessment of its investment portfolios to determine whether any securities are other-than-temporarily impaired. In estimating other-than-temporary impairment losses, management considers, among other factors, length of time and extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, the financial condition and near term prospects of the issuer, and the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery. At March 31, 2011 and June 30, 2010, no securities were other than temporarily impaired.

NOTE 10 – CREDIT QUALITY OF FINANCING RECEIVABLES AND ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES
In accordance with ASU 2010-20, “Receivables (Topic 310): Disclosure about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses,” the following tables provide information on the credit profile of the components of the portfolio and allowance for credit losses related to “financing receivables” as defined under ASU 2010-20. This disclosure on “financing receivables” covers the Company’s direct finance and sales-type leases and all commercial loans, but does not include operating leases, transactions in process or residual values. The portfolio is disaggregated into segments and classifications appropriate for assessing and monitoring the portfolios’ risk and performance. This disclosure does not encompass all risk assets or the entire allowance for credit losses.
Portfolio segments identified by the Company include leases and loans. These segments have been disaggregated into four classes: 1) commercial leases, 2) education, government and non-profit leases, 3) commercial and industrial loans and 4) commercial real estate loans. Relevant risk characteristics for establishing these portfolio classes generally include the nature of the borrower, structure of the transaction and collateral type. The Company’s credit process includes a policy of classifying all leases and loans in accordance with a risk rating classification system consistent with regulatory models under which leases and loans may be rated as “pass”, “special mention”, “substandard”, or “doubtful”. These risk categories reflect an assessment of the ability of the borrowers to service their obligation based on current financial position, historical payment experience, and collateral adequacy, among other factors. The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings:
|
Pass – Includes credits of the highest quality as well as credits with positive primary repayment source but one or more characteristics that are of higher than average risk.
|
|
Special Mention – Have a potential weakness that if left uncorrected may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the lease or loan or of the Company’s credit position at some future date.
|
|
Substandard – Are inadequately protected by the paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral, if any. Substandard credits have a well-defined weakness that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt or indicate the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.
|
|
Doubtful – Based on current information and events, collection of all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the lease or loan agreement is considered highly questionable and improbable.

An ongoing review of all leases and loans ten or more days delinquent is conducted. 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. Payments received while on non-accrual are applied to reduce the Company’s recorded value.

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 FASB ASC Topic 450, “Contingencies,” and ASC Topic 310-35, “Loan Impairment.” The net book value of each non-performing or problem lease and loan is evaluated 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 individually 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 customers ability to repay, trends in volume and other factors, including regulatory guidance and current and anticipated economic conditions. This portfolio analysis includes a stratification of the portfolio by the risk classifications and segments set forth above and estimation of potential losses based on risk classification or segment. The composition of the portfolio based on risk ratings is monitored, and changes in the overall risk profile of the portfolio is also factored into the evaluation of inherent risks in the portfolio. Based on the foregoing, an estimated inherent loss not based directly on specific problem assets is recorded as a collective allowance. The Company utilizes similar processes to estimate its liability for unfunded loan commitments, which is included in other liabilities and not in the allowance for credit losses. Lease receivables and loans are charged off when they are deemed completely uncollectible. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.

NOTE 11 – BORROWINGS
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 time certificates of deposit. The Bank also has authority to borrow from the Federal Reserve Bank (“FRB”) discount window amounts secured by certain lease receivables. At March 31, 2011, CalFirst Bank had unused borrowing availability of approximately $71.1 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. The $10.0 million long-term debt reported at June 30, 2010 that matures on January 12, 2012 was reclassified to short term debt at March 31, 2011, with the weighted average interest rate of 2.07% at March 31, 2011 and June 30, 2010.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
GENERAL
California First National Bancorp, a California corporation, is a bank holding company headquartered in Orange County, California. CalFirst Leasing and CalFirst Bank focus on leasing and financing capital assets through centralized marketing programs designed to offer cost-effective leasing alternatives. Leased assets are re-marketed at lease expiration. CalFirst Bank also provides business loans to fund the purchase of assets leased by third parties, including CalFirst Leasing, purchases participations in commercial loan syndications and provides commercial loans to businesses, including real estate based and revolving lines of credit. CalFirst Bank gathers deposits from a centralized location primarily through posting rates on the Internet.
The Company’s direct finance, loan and interest income includes interest income earned on the Company’s investment in lease receivables, residuals, commercial loans and investment securities. Non-interest income primarily includes gains realized on the sale of leased property and leases, income from sales-type and operating leases, gains and losses realized on investments, and other income. Income from sales-type leases relates to the re-lease of lease property (“lease extensions”) while income from operating leases generally involves lease extensions that are accounted for as an operating lease rather than as a sales-type lease.
The Company's operating results are subject to quarterly fluctuations resulting from a variety of factors, including the size and credit quality of the lease and loan portfolios, the volume and profitability of leased property being re-marketed through re-lease or sale, the interest rate environment, the market for investment securities, the volume of new lease or loan originations, including variations in the mix and funding of such originations, and economic conditions in general. The Company’s principal market risk exposure currently is related to interest rates and the 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. The Company’s interest margin also is susceptible to timing lags related to varying movements in market interest rates. Many of the Company’s leases, loans and liquid investments are tied to U.S. treasury rates and 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 securities, leases and loans held in its own portfolio, lease transactions in process, and residual investments. The Company takes steps to manage risks through the implementation of strict credit management processes and on-going risk management review procedures.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of the Company’s financial statements requires management to make certain critical accounting estimates that impact the stated amount of assets and liabilities at a financial statement date and the reported amount of income and expenses during a reporting period. These accounting estimates are based on management’s judgment and are considered to be critical because of their significance to the financial statements and the possibility that future events may differ from current judgments, or that the use of different assumptions could result in materially different estimates. The critical accounting policies and estimates have not changed from and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2010.
The Company's estimates are reviewed continuously to ensure reasonableness. However, the amounts the Company may ultimately realize could differ from such estimated amounts.
Overview of Results and Trends
The following discussion is provided in addition to the required analysis of earnings in order to discuss trends in our business. We believe this analysis provides additional meaningful information on a comparative basis.
Net earnings for the third quarter of fiscal 2011 were up 41% to $3.7 million from net earnings of $2.6 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2010 primarily due to a large gain recognized on the sale of investment securities along with a meaningful gain from the sale of property on a lease reaching the end of term. Apart from these increases in non-interest income, third quarter results reflected a 5% increase in net direct finance, loan and interest income after the provision for credit losses as a result growth in the loan and lease portfolios and reduction in interest expense.
16
New lease bookings during the third quarter of fiscal 2011 of $27.8 million were 22% ahead of the prior year level, but with commercial loan bookings flat, total loan and lease bookings for the quarter increased 20% to $33.5 million. For nine months ended March 31, 2011, total lease and loan bookings of $199.2 million were 89% above the first nine months of fiscal 2010 and contributed to a 23% growth in the net investment in leases and loans to $318.2 million at March 31, 2011 from $257.8 million at June 30, 2010. New lease and loan originations for the third quarter of fiscal 2011 were 22% lower than the third quarter of fiscal 2010, but for the nine months ended March 31, 2011, total originations were up 30% from the same period of the prior year. As a result, the estimated backlog of approved lease and loan commitments of $105 million at March 31, 2011 is up from $95 million at December 31, 2010 and 22% above March 31, 2010.
During the first nine months of fiscal 2011, the average investment in commercial loans increased by 33% and contributed to a 45% growth in commercial loan income to $4.5 million. Commercial loan participations accounted for approximately 38% of fiscal 2011 originations, but loans represent only 15% of third quarter originations and 17% of backlog. Of the consolidated investment in commercial loans at March 31, 2011, CalFirst Bank holds $88.6 million, or 91%. While the lower commercial loan backlog is due in part to less favorable market conditions, it also reflects the impact of CalFirst Bank’s primary regulator advising the Bank to limit the scope and volume of its commercial loan business pending the receipt of the regulator’s no objection to the Bank’s continued development of the commercial loan portfolio. The Bank still has not received the written determination of no objection to the Bank’s plan and as a result, the ability of the Bank to continue to expand its commercial loan portfolio is unclear and subject to restrictions imposed by its regulator. The Company cannot predict when or how this issue may be resolved, but currently does not expect commercial loan growth to continue at the pace realized during the first nine months of fiscal 2011.
Consolidated Statement of Earnings Analysis
Summary -- For the third quarter ended March 31, 2011, net earnings of $3.7 million increased $1.1 million, or 40.1%, from $2.6 million for the third quarter ended March 31, 2010. For the first nine months of fiscal 2011, net earnings of $8.4 million decreased $704,000, or 7.7%, compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2010. Diluted earnings per share increased 39.8% to $0.35 per share for the third quarter of fiscal 2011, compared to $0.25 per share for the third quarter of the prior year. For the nine months ended March 31, 2011, diluted earnings per share of $0.81 decreased 8.4%, compared to $0.89 per shared for the same prior year period.
Net Direct Finance, Loan and Interest Income -- Net direct finance, loan and interest income is the difference between interest earned on the investment in leases, loans, securities and other interest earning investments and interest paid on deposits and other borrowings. Net direct finance, loan and interest income is affected by changes in the volume and mix of interest earning assets, the movement of interest rates, and funding and pricing strategies.
Net direct finance, loan and interest income was $6.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2011, a $534,000, or 9.7%, increase from $5.5 million in the same quarter of the prior year. Total direct finance, loan and interest income for the third quarter ended March 31, 2011 increased 4.9% to $6.9 million from $6.6 million earned during the third quarter of fiscal 2010. The increase was primarily due to a 30%, or $325,000, increase in commercial loan income and 3% increase in direct finance income, offset by a 14%, or $152,000,decrease in investment income. Commercial loan income reflected a 58% growth in average loan balances that offset a 121 basis point drop in average yields. The decline in investment income was due to a 21% drop in average investment balances to $121.6 million that offset a 24 basis point improvement in yields. The average yield on leases held in the Company’s own portfolio decreased 52 basis points to 8.2% while the combined yield on loans and leases decreased 87 basis points to 7.4%. During the third quarter of fiscal 2011, interest expense on deposits and borrowings decreased by $213,000 to $881,000, reflecting a 11% increase in average deposit and borrowing balances to $244.6 million, offset by a 55 basis point decrease in average interest rates paid to 1.4%.
For the nine months ended March 31, 2011, net direct finance, loan and interest income was $16.7 million, a less than 1% decrease from the $16.8 million earned during the same period of the prior year. Total direct finance, loan and interest income of $19.4 million was down 7% from $20.7 million for the first nine months of the prior year. The decrease was due to a $1.5 million, or 11%, decline in direct finance income and $1.2 million, or 33%, decline in investment income, which were offset only partly by a $1.4 million, or 45%, increase in income earned on the commercial loan portfolio. For the nine months ended March 31, 2011, average commercial loan balances of $93 million were up 33% and the average yield increased 52 basis points to 6.4%. While the investment in leases remained relatively flat, the average yield earned on leases decreased by 116 basis points to 8.03%. The decline in investment income for the first nine months of fiscal 2011 included both a decline in average yield of 41 basis points to 2.59% and 22% decline in average investment balances to $129.4 million. For the nine months ended March 31, 2011, interest expense on deposits and borrowings decreased by $1.3 million to $2.7 million, reflecting a 5% decrease in average balances and a 61 basis point decrease in average rates paid.

Direct finance income and interest expense on discounted lease rentals and non-recourse debt of $11.9 million and $10.6 million at March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, offset each other and do not contribute to the Company’s net direct finance, loan and interest income.

Provision for Credit Losses -- The Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $250,000 in the third quarter of fiscal 2011, compared to no provision recorded in the third quarter of fiscal 2010. For the nine-month period ended March 31, 2011, the provision was $1.0 million compared to a provision of $350,000 for the same period of the prior fiscal year. The provision for credit losses in the third quarter of fiscal 2011 related to the deterioration of the credit outlook for certain customers, while the larger provision made during the first nine months of fiscal 2011 related to both growth and change in the credit profile within the commercial loan and lease portfolios.
Non-interest Income -- Total non-interest income for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 increased by $1.7 million, or 104%, to $3.2 million, compared to $1.6 million for the same quarter of the prior fiscal year. Included in non-interest income during the third quarter of fiscal 2011 was an $835,000 increase in income realized from the sale of leased property mainly due to one large lease reaching the end of term. Also contributing to the increase in non-interest income was a gain realized from the sale of investment securities of $940,000.
For the nine months ended March 31, 2011, total non-interest income of $7.0 million was unchanged from the nine months ended March 31, 2010, however the first nine months of fiscal 2011 includes gains from the sale of investment securities of $2.3 million compared to investment gains of $3.4 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2010. Excluding the gains realized on the sale of investment securities from both periods, non-interest income for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 was up 31%. The increase in other income related to higher profits from the sale and re-lease of property on lease transactions reaching the end of term, offset in part by lower income from the sale of leases.
19
Non-interest Expense – Non-interest expenses for the third quarter of fiscal 2011 of $3.1 million were up 8% from $2.9 million reported for the third quarter of the prior year, while non-interest expenses for the first nine months of fiscal 2011 increased 4% to $9.1 million, compared to $8.7 million reported for the first nine months of the prior year. The increase in expenses during both periods is primarily due to higher compensation expenses recognized related to the sales organization.
Taxes – Income taxes were accrued at a tax rate of 38.25% for the quarters ended and nine months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 representing the estimated annual tax rate for the fiscal years ending June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
Financial Condition Analysis
Consolidated total assets at March 31, 2011 of $510.6 million were up 12.6% from $453.6 million at June 30, 2010. The change in total assets includes a $31.6 million or 48% increase in the commercial loan portfolio to $97.0 million and a $28.8 million or 15% increase in the net investment in leases to $221.2 million, offset by a $7.2 million decrease in property acquired for transaction-in-process to $19.7 million.
Lease and Loan Portfolio Analysis
The Company’s strategy is to develop lease and loan portfolios with risk/reward profiles that meet its objectives. The Company currently funds most new lease transactions internally, with a portion of lease receivables assigned to other financial institutions. During the first nine months ended March 31, 2011, approximately 99% of the total dollar amount of new leases booked by the Company were held in its own portfolios, compared to 83% during the first nine months of fiscal 2010. The $28.8 million increase in the Company’s net investment in leases at March 31, 2011 includes a $28.1 million increase in the investment in lease receivables and an increase of $736,000 in the estimated residual values, with almost all the growth in leases related to third-party lease purchases. The $31.6 million growth in the Company’s commercial loan portfolio reflected the addition of new commercial loan participations of $73.9 million that were offset by loan payoffs or repayments aggregating to $42.3 million.
The Company often makes payments to purchase leased property prior to the commencement of the lease. The disbursements for these lease transactions in process are generally made to facilitate the lessees’ property implementation schedule. The lessee is contractually obligated by the lease to make rental payments directly to the Company during the period that the transaction is in process, and the lessee generally is obligated to reimburse the Company for all disbursements under certain circumstances. Income is not recognized while a transaction is in process and prior to the commencement of the lease. At March 31, 2011, the Company’s investment in property acquired for transactions in process of $19.7 million related to approximately $79.4 million of approved lease commitments. This investment in transactions in process decreased $7.2 million from $26.8 million at June 30, 2010, which related to direct lease commitments of $85.5 million, and was up from $10.5 million at March 31 2010, which related to direct lease commitments of $64.9 million. In addition to the direct lease commitments, the Company had unfunded lease purchase commitments of $7.9 million and commitments related to unused lines of credit of $17.5 million.
The Company monitors the performance of all leases and loans held in its own portfolio, transactions in process, as well as lease transactions assigned to lenders, if the Company retains a residual investment in the leased property subject to those leases. An ongoing review of all leases and loans ten or more day’s delinquent is conducted. Leases and loans that are delinquent with the Company or an assignee are coded in the Company’s accounting and tracking systems in order to provide management visibility, periodic reporting, and appropriate reserves. The accrual of interest income on leases and loans generally will be discontinued when the lease or loan becomes ninety days or more past due on its payments with the Company, unless the Company believes the investment is otherwise recoverable. Leases and loans may be placed on non-accrual earlier if the Company has significant doubts about the ability of the customer to meet its obligations, as evidenced by consistent delinquency, deterioration in the customer’s financial condition or other relevant factors.
The following table summarizes the Company’s non-performing leases and loans.

The decline in non-performing leases and loans at March 31, 2011 from June 30, 2010 is primarily due to having no accrual leases over 90 days past due. The restructured lease and loan balance for both periods includes a loan and lease with one customer with an aggregate balance of approximately $7.8 million. This relationship was current with its restructured payments at March 31, 2011 and the transactions remain on an accrual basis. In addition to the non-performing leases and loans identified above, there was $8.6 million of investment in leases and loans at March 31, 2011 classified as substandard or with credits that currently are experiencing financial difficulties or that management believes may experience financial difficulties in the future. Although these credits have been identified as potential problems, they may never become non-performing. These potential problem leases and loans are considered in the determination of the allowance for credit losses.
Allowance for Credit Losses
The allowance for credit losses provides coverage for probable and estimatable losses in the Company’s lease and loan portfolios. The allowance recorded is based on a quarterly review of all leases and loans outstanding and transactions in process. Lease receivables, loans or residuals are charged off when they are deemed completely uncollectible. The determination of the appropriate amount of any provision is based on management’s judgment at that time and takes into consideration all known relevant internal and external factors that may affect the portfolios.

The allowance for credit losses increased $1.1 million to $5.6 million (1.7% of net investment in leases and loans before allowances) at March 31, 2011 from $4.5 million (1.7% of net investment in leases and loans before allowances) at June 30, 2010. This allowance consisted of $1.3 million allocated to specific accounts that were identified as problems and $4.2 million that was available to cover losses inherent in the portfolio. This compared to $1.0 million allocated to specific accounts at June 30, 2010 and $3.4 million available for losses inherent in the portfolio at that time. The increase in the specific allowance at March 31, 2011 primarily relates to the addition of specifically identified substandard leases. The Company considers the allowance for credit losses of $5.6 million at March 31, 2011 adequate to cover losses specifically identified as well as inherent in the lease and loan portfolios. However, no assurance can be given that the Company will not, in any particular period, sustain lease and loan losses that are sizeable in relation to the amount reserved, or that subsequent evaluations of the lease and loan portfolio, in light of factors then prevailing, including economic conditions and the on-going credit review process, will not require significant increases in the allowance for credit losses. Among other factors, economic and political events may have an adverse impact on the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses by increasing credit risk and the risk of potential loss even further.

Investment Securities Available-for-sale
Total available-for-sale investment securities were $63.8 million as of March 31,2011, compared with $68.0 million at June 30, 2010. The amortized cost and fair value of the Company’s securities portfolio available-for-sale at March 31, 2011 and June 30, 2010 are as follows:

During the first nine months of fiscal 2011, the Company’s portfolio of securities available-for-sale declined $4.2 million primarily due to the sale of U.S. Treasury securities and the early call of two corporate bonds offset by additional corporate and municipal bond purchases of $15.7 million. At March 31, 2011, the securities portfolio included an unrealized pre-tax gain of $2.7 million compared to a $4.2 million unrealized pre-tax gain at June 30, 2010. The weighted average maturity was 2.1 years and the corresponding weighted average yield was 5.11 percent at March 31, 2011.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company funds its operating activities through internally generated funds, bank deposits, borrowings and non-recourse debt. At March 31, 2011 and June 30, 2010, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents were $85.5 million and $74.0 million, respectively. Stockholders’ equity at March 31, 2011 was $196.1 million, or 38.4% of total assets, compared to $198.5 million, or 43.8% of total assets, at June 30, 2010. At March 31, 2011, the Company and the Bank exceed their regulatory capital requirements and are considered “well-capitalized” under guidelines established by the FRB and OCC.
Deposits at CalFirst Bank totaled $262.1 million at March 31, 2011, compared to $204.8 million at March 31, 2010 and $205.9 million at June 30, 2010. The $57.3 million increase from March 31, 2010 was used to fund leases, and loans, as well as maintain liquidity at the Bank.

The Bank has entered into borrowing agreements with the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco to take advantage of FHLB programs for overnight and term advances at published daily rates. The Bank had an outstanding balance of $10.0 million under the Federal Home Loan Bank agreement at March 31, 2011, now classified as short-term, at a borrowing cost of 2.07%. The principal amount of the short-term FHLB advance matures on January 12, 2012. Under terms of the blanket collateral agreement, advances from the FHLB are collateralized by qualifying investment securities, time certificates of deposit and qualifying commercial loans, with $2.6 million available under the agreement as of March 31, 2011. The Bank also has the authority to borrow from the Federal Reserve Bank (“FRB”) discount window amounts secured by certain lease receivables. The Bank had no borrowings under this agreement at March 31, 2011, with the unused borrowing availability at approximately $71.1 million. The Bank may elect from time-to-time to borrow from the Federal Reserve Bank rather than the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco to maintain an immediate secondary source of liquidity.
CalFirst Leasing’s capital expenditures for leased property purchases are sometimes financed by assigning certain lease term payments to banks or other financial institutions, including CalFirst Bank. The assigned lease payments are discounted at fixed rates such that the lease payments are sufficient to fully amortize the aggregate outstanding debt. At March 31, 2011, the Company had outstanding non-recourse debt aggregating $10.0 million relating to discounted lease rentals assigned to unaffiliated lenders. In the past, the Company has been able to obtain adequate non-recourse funding commitments, and the Company believes it will be able to do so in the future.
At March 31, 2011, 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 provides for borrowings based on Libor, requires a commitment fee on the unused line balance and allows for advances through March 31, 2012. The agreement is unsecured, however, the Company guarantees CalFirst Leasing’s obligations. No borrowings have been made under this line of credit as of March 31, 2011.
Contractual Obligations and Commitments
The following table summarizes various contractual obligations as of March 31, 2011. Commitments to purchase property for leases are binding and generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses. Commercial loan commitments are agreements to lend to a customer or purchase a participation provided there is no violation of any condition in the contract. These commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses. Since the Company expects some of the commitments to expire without being funded, the total amounts do not necessarily represent the Company’s future liquidity requirements.

(1) Disbursements to purchase property on approved leases are estimated to be completed within one year, but it is likely that some portion could be deferred to later periods.
The need for cash for operating activities will increase as the Company expands. The Company believes that existing cash balances, cash flow from operations, cash flows from its financing and investing activities, and assignments (on a non-recourse basis) of lease payments will be sufficient to meet its foreseeable financing needs.
Inflation has not had a significant impact upon the operations of the Company.
Market risk is the risk of loss of value in a financial instrument arising from changes in market indices such as interest rates, credit spreads and securities prices. The Company’s principal market risk exposure is interest rate risk, which is the exposure due to differences in the repricing characteristics of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Market risk also arises from the impact that fluctuations in interest rates may have on security prices that may result in changes in the values of financial instruments, such as available-for-sale securities that are accounted for at fair value. As the banking operations of the Company have grown and CalFirst Bank’s deposits represent a greater portion of the Company’s liabilities, the Company is subject to increased interest rate risk. The Bank has an Asset/Liability Management Committee and policies established to manage its interest rate risk. CalFirst Leasing has no interest-bearing debt, and non-recourse debt does not represent an interest rate risk to the Company because it is fully amortized through direct payments from lessees to the purchaser of the lease receivable.

At March 31, 2011, the Company had $88.2 million of cash or invested in securities of very short duration. The Company’s investment in gross lease payments receivable and commercial loans of $347.7 million consists of leases with fixed rates and loans with variable rates, however, $194.5 million of such investment is due or will reprice within one year of March 31, 2011. Of the $67.5 million investment in securities, $13.3 million mature within twelve months. This compares to interest bearing deposit liabilities and FHLB borrowing of $272.1 million, of which $229.5 million mature within one year. Based on the foregoing, at March 31, 2011 the Company had assets of $293.2 million subject to changes in interest rates over the next twelve months, compared to repricing liabilities of $229.5 million.
The consolidated gap analysis below sets forth the maturity and repricing characteristics of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities for selected time bands. The mismatch between repricings or maturities within a time band is commonly referred to as the “gap” for that period. A positive gap (asset sensitive), where interest rate sensitive assets exceed interest rate sensitive liabilities, generally will result in the net interest margin increasing in a rising rate environment and decreasing in a falling rate environment. A negative gap (liability sensitive) will generally have the opposite result on the net interest margin. The gap analysis at March 31, 2011 presented below indicates that net interest income should increase during periods of rising interest rates and decrease during periods of falling interest rates. However, the static gap analysis does not assess the relative sensitivity of assets and liabilities to changes in interest rates and other factors that could have an impact on interest rate sensitivity or net interest income, including the protection provided by interest rate floors incorporated into a number of commercial loans. Sudden and substantial changes in interest rates may adversely impact income to the extent that the interest rates associated with the assets and liabilities do not change at the same speed, to the same extent, or on the same basis.

In addition to the consolidated gap analysis, 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.

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.
As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company's management, including its principal executive officer and its principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2011 to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. There were no changes made during the most recent fiscal quarter to the Company's internal controls over financial reporting that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
There have been no material changes in our risk factors from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010.
