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, 2012. 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 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K, which contains Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations as of June 30, 2012 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 September 30, 2012 and the statements of earnings, comprehensive income, cash flows and stockholders’ equity for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011. The results of operations for the three-month period ended September 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the entire fiscal year ending June 30, 2013.

NOTE 2 – RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-12, “Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting in ASU No. 2011-05”. ASU 2011-12 defers those changes in ASU 2011-05 that relate to the presentation of reclassification adjustments. ASU 2011-12 reinstated the requirements for the presentation of reclassifications that were in place prior to the issuance of ASU 2011-05 and did not change the effective date for ASU 2011-05. ASU 2011-12 does not impact the requirement of ASU 2011-05 to report comprehensive income either in a single continuous financial statement or in two separate but consecutive financial statements.

In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-11, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities (ASU 2011-11). The amendments in ASU 2011-11 require the disclosure of information on offsetting and related arrangements for financial instruments to enable users of its financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position. Amendments under ASU 2011-11 will be applied retrospectively for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after January 1, 2013. Adoption of this update will not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 3 – STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

At September 30, 2012, the Company has one stock option plan, which is more fully described in Note 14 in the Company’s 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K. During the quarter ended September 30, 2012, the Company issued a grant for 10,000 shares. Pursuant to ASC Topic 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”) compensation expense is recognized over the requisite service period using the fair-value based method for all new awards calculated at the grant date As allowed per ASC 718 the fair value of this grant is estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with these assumptions:

	September 30, 2012
Risk free interest rate		1.60	%
Option life (in years)		10
Dividend yield		7.04	%
Volatility		32.68	%

During the quarter ended September 30, 2012, the Company recognized pre-tax stock-based compensation expense of $1,000 compared to none recognized during the first quarter of fiscal 2012. As of September 30, 2012, approximately $21,000 of total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested shares is expected to be recognized over the next 58 months.

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

NOTE 4 – 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 September 30, 2012, there were no liabilities subject to ASC 820.

Securities available-for-sale include corporate bonds, municipal bonds, and mutual fund 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). Mutual funds and equity investments 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 September 30, 2012 and June 30, 2012:

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

	$	63,597	$	1,980	$	61,617	$	-

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 September 30, 2012 and June 30, 2012.

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 September 30, 2012, and June 30, 2012, 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 and classified as Level II in the fair value hierarchy. Values for investments and available-for-sale securities are determined as set forth in Note 4 and 7. The fair value of loan participations that trade in the secondary market is based upon current bid prices in such market at the measurement date and classified as Level II in the fair value hierarchy. 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 and are classified as Level III in the fair value hierarchy. 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.

The estimated fair values of financial instruments were as follows:

	September 30, 2012				June 30, 2012
	Carrying Amount		Estimated Fair Value		Carrying Amount		Estimated Fair Value
	(in thousands)
Financial Assets:
Cash and cash equivalents	$	45,490	$	45,490	$	56,921	$	56,921

Commercial loans		85,838		86,151		82,910		82,738
Financial Liabilities:

Time certificate of deposits		176,748		176,771		174,140		174,356

NOTE 6 – INVESTMENTS:

Investments are carried at cost and consist of the following:

	September 30, 2012				June 30, 2012
	Carrying Cost		Fair Value		Carrying Cost		Fair Value
	(dollars in thousands)
Federal Reserve Bank Stock	$	1,655	$	1,655	$	1,655	$	1,655
Federal Home Loan Bank Stock		1,065		1,065		1,123		1,123
Mortgage-backed investments		276		304		376		377
	$	2,996	$	3,024	$	3,154	$	3,155

The investment in Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco (“FHLB”) stock is a required investment related to CalFirst Bank’s borrowing arrangements with 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.

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. As of September 30, 2012, no securities were other than temporarily impaired.

NOTE 8 – NET INVESTMENT IN LEASES

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

NOTE 10 – CREDIT QUALITY OF FINANCING RECEIVABLES AND 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 ASC Topic 310. 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.

The risk classification of financing receivables by portfolio class is as follows:

(dollars in thousands)	Commercial Leases		Education Government Non-profit Leases		Commercial & Industrial Loans		Commercial Real Estate Loans		Total Financing Receivable
As of September 30, 2012:

Non-accrual	$	92	$	311	$	-	$	-	$	403

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 following table presents the aging of the financing receivables by portfolio class:

The commercial real estate loan greater than 90 days past due is current with all interest payments but has not made principal payments for more than 90 days. The Company continues to recognize the cash interest payments as income when paid as the loan is well collateralized by the real estate and not impaired.

NOTE 11 – BORROWINGS

At September 30, 2012, 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, 2013. 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 allowed to make regularly scheduled principal and interest payments owed to the Company. No borrowings have been made under this line of credit as of September 30, 2012.

CalFirst Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco (“FHLB”) and 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 real estate loans and investment securities. The Bank also has authority to borrow from the Federal Reserve Bank (“FRB”) discount window amounts secured by certain lease receivables. At September 30, 2012, there were no borrowings from the FHLB with available borrowing capacity of $2.3 million related to qualifying real estate loans of $3.9 million, and no borrowings from the FRB with borrowing availability of approximately $88.3 million secured by $118.3 million of lease receivables.

No other significant events occurred subsequent to the balance sheet date but prior to the filing of this report that would have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

CALIFORNIA FIRST NATIONAL BANCORP

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

GENERAL

California First National Bancorp, a California corporation (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 the Company is leasing and financing capital assets, while CalFirst Bank also participates in the syndicated commercial loan market, 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.

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 over 53% of interest-earning assets and 86% of interest bearing liabilities repricing 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 cause 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, 2012.

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 first quarter ended September 30, 2012 of $1.5 million were down 38% from the $2.5 million earned during the first quarter of fiscal 2012. The decrease in net earnings from the first quarter of the prior year is largely due to a 51% decrease in income from the re-lease and sale of leased property reaching the end of term and a 13% decrease in net interest income after provision for credit losses.

New lease bookings of $51.2 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2013 were up 29% from the first quarter of fiscal 2012, while commercial loans bookings of $9.5 million were up from the $5.2 million booked in the first quarter of the prior year. Total first quarter loan and lease bookings increased by 35% to $60.7 million, and contributed to a 4% growth in the net investment in leases and loans from June 30 to $349.5 million at September 30, 2012, and 12% above the level at September 30, 2011. For the first quarter of fiscal 2013, new lease and loan originations were 9% lower than during the first quarter of fiscal 2012, leaving the backlog of approved lease and loan commitments of $112 million 1% below the level of a year ago.

Consolidated Statement of Earnings Analysis

Summary -- For the first quarter ended September 30, 2012, net earnings of $1.5 million decreased 38% compared to the first quarter ended September 30, 2011. Diluted earnings per share of $0.15 for the first quarter of fiscal 2013 decreased 38% from $0.24 for the first quarter of fiscal 2012.

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, the movement of interest rates, and funding and pricing strategies.

Net direct finance, loan and interest income was $4.8 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2012, a $418,000, or 8.0% decrease compared to the same quarter of the prior year. Total direct finance, loan and interest income for the first quarter ended September 30, 2012 decreased 11.9% to $5.4 million from $6.1 million earned during the first quarter of fiscal 2012. The decrease includes a $487,000, or 11.0%, decrease in direct finance income related to a 165 basis point drop in average yields while the average investment balance on leases held in the Company’s portfolio increased 13.3%. Commercial loan income decreased $92,000 due to a 36 basis point decline in the average yield on an average loan portfolio that decreased $1.1 million to $86.9 million. Investment income decreased $150,000 to $688,000 as average cash and investment balances decreased 29.4% to $119.6 million while the average yield increased 32 basis points. During the first quarter of fiscal 2013, interest expense paid on deposits and borrowings decreased $311,000, or 35.3%, reflecting a 34 basis point drop in the average interest rate to 0.91% and a 10.8% decrease, or $30.3 million, in average balances to $250.5 million. The Company paid off borrowings from the FHLB in December 2011 which resulted in a $52,900 reduction in borrowing costs as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2012.

The average yield on all interest-earning assets for the first quarter of fiscal 2013 decreased to 4.7% from 5.1% for the first quarter ended September 30, 2011, while the average rate paid on all interest-bearing liabilities decreased to 0.9% from 1.3% in the same period of the prior fiscal year. As a result, the net interest margin for the year decreased to 4.2% in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 from 4.4% in fiscal 2012. The prolonged period of low interest rates has allowed the continued run off of higher yielding leases and securities that have been replaced with leases and variable rate loans based on current historically low rates, and the Bank is limited in its ability to lower deposit rates in tandem.

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

Provision for Credit Losses -- The Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $275,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2013, compared to no provision for the same period in the prior year. The increase in the provision primarily related to a $10.0 million, or 4.5% increase in the lease portfolio, 3.5% growth in the loan portfolio and the deterioration in the credit of one large lease position.

Non-interest Income -- Total non-interest income for the first quarter ended September 30, 2012 decreased by $874,000, or 47.2%, to $978,000, compared to $1.9 million for the same quarter of the prior fiscal year primarily due to lower income realized on leases reaching the end of term. The first quarter of fiscal 2012 included the contribution of one significant sales type lease that boosted non-interest income in that period by 92%.

Non-interest Expenses -- The Company’s non-interest expenses reported for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 decreased $64,000, or 2.1%, to $3.0 million compared to $3.1 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2012. The decrease in non-interest expenses reflected slightly lower operating expenses.

Income Taxes -- Income taxes were accrued at a tax rate of 38.75% and 38. 00% for the first quarter ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, representing the estimated annual tax rate for the fiscal years ending June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Financial Condition Analysis

Consolidated total assets at September 30, 2012 of $488.1 million compared to $486.2 million at June 30, 2012. The net investment in leases increased by $10.1 million to $263.6 million and the commercial loan portfolio increased $2.9 million to $85.8 million with the increases funded by a decrease of $11.4 million in cash and due from banks.

Lease Portfolio

During the first three months ended September 30, 2012, 98% of the new leases booked by the Company were held in its own portfolios, compared to 100% during the first three months of fiscal 2012. The $10.1 million increase in the Company’s net investment in leases during the quarter includes a $10.9 million increase in lease receivables offset by a $775,000 decrease in the estimated residual values. The increase in lease receivables is due to the volume of new leases being booked during the period being sufficient to offset payments received and leases terminating. The decreased investment in residual values is due to a large lease that matured during the period in which the Company retained a substantial residual investment.

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 September 30, 2012, the Company’s investment in property acquired for transactions in process of $18.9 million was slightly higher than the $18.5 million at June 30, 2012, but was down from $29.8 million at September 30, 2011. The decline in transactions in process is largely due to a change in the nature of direct lease originations to involve less pre-commencement implementation.

Commercial Loan Portfolio

The Company’s commercial loan portfolio increased $2.9 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2013 to $85.8 million compared to $82.9 million at June 30, 2012. The increase in the Company’s commercial loan portfolio reflected the addition of $9.5 million new commercial loan participations offset by loan payoff and repayments aggregating to $6.4 million. In addition, at September 30, 2012 the Company had unfunded commercial loan commitments of $16.2 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:

	September 30, 2012			June 30, 2012
Non-performing Leases and Loans	(dollars in thousands)
Non-accrual leases & loans	$	2,551		$	529
Restructured leases		-			-
Leases past due 90 days (other than above)		-			-
Total non-performing leases and loans	$	2,551		$	529
Non-performing assets as % of net investment in leases and loans before allowances		0.7	%		0.2	%

The increase in non-performing assets at September 30, 2012 as compared to June 30, 2012 was due to a $2.0 million real estate loan which was placed on non-accrual. The borrower on this loan is in bankruptcy, and has continued to make the interest payments contractually due, but has not made any principal payments for more than 90 days. The Company continues to recognize the cash interest payments as income when paid as the loan is well collateralized by the real estate and not impaired, and the Company expects to fully recover the remaining balance. In addition to the non-performing leases and loans identified above, there was $10.8 million of investment in leases and loans at September 30, 2012 classified as substandard or with credits that currently are experiencing financial difficulties or that management believes may experience financial difficulties in the future. This amount compared to $8.9 million at June 30, 2012 and $9.9 million at September 30, 2011. 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.

	Three months ended September 30,
	2012			2011
	(dollars in thousands)
Property acquired for transactions in process before allowance	$	18,885		$	29,837
Net investment in leases and loans before allowance		354,947			318,275
Net investment in “risk assets”	$	373,832		$	348,112

Allowance for credit losses at end of period	$	5,477		$	5,143

Components of allowance for credit losses:
Allowance for lease and loan losses	$	5,466		$	5,132
Allowance for transactions in process		11			11
	$	5,477		$	5,143

Allowance for credit losses as a percent of net investment in leases and loans before allowances		1.5	%		1.6	%
Allowance for credit losses as a percent of net investment in “risk assets”		1.5	%		1.5	%

The allowance for credit losses increased $261,000 to $5.5 million (1.5% of net investment in leases and loans before allowances) at September 30, 2012 from $5.2 million (1.6% of net investment in leases and loans before allowances) at June 30, 2012. This allowance consisted of $1.2 million allocated to specific accounts that were identified as problems and $4.3 million that was available to cover losses inherent in the portfolio. This compared to $559,000 allocated to specific accounts at June 30, 2012 and $4.7 million available for losses inherent in the portfolio at that time. The increase in the specific allowance at September 30, 2012 primarily relates to several lease schedules identified with one particular customer who filed bankruptcy. The Company considers the allowance for credit losses of $5.5 million at September 30, 2012 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.

Securities Available-for-sale

Total securities available-for-sale was $62.3 million as of September 30, 2012, compared with $63.6 million at June 30, 2012. The amortized cost and fair value of the Company’s securities portfolio available-for-sale at September 30, 2012 and June 30, 2012 are as follows:

	As of September 30, 2012				As of June 30, 2012
(in thousands)	Amortized Cost		Fair Value		Amortized Cost		Fair Value
Available-for-sale
Corporate bonds	$	58,179	$	59,796	$	60,402	$	61,174
Municipal bonds		414		443		415		443
Mutual fund investments		1,306		1,512		1,306		1,423
Equity investments		422		587		422		557
Total securities available-for-sale	$	60,321	$	62,338	$	62,545	$	63,597

During the first quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company’s portfolio of securities available-for-sale decreased $1.3 million primarily due to a maturing bond. The weighted average maturity was 1.7 years and the corresponding weighted average yield was 4.12 percent at September 30, 2012.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company funds its operating activities through internally generated funds, bank deposits and non-recourse debt. At September 30, 2012 and June 30, 2012, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents were $45.5 million and $56.9 million, respectively. Stockholders’ equity at September 30, 2012 was $198.8 million, or 40.7% of total assets, compared to $196.4 million, or 40.4% of total assets, at June 30, 2012. At September 30, 2012, 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 $254.1 million at September 30, 2012 compared to $273.7 million at September 30, 2011 and $253.3 million at June 30, 2012. The $19.6 million decrease from September 30, 2011 was consistent with the Company’s strategy to better utilize its liquidity and fund growth in the Bank’s lease portfolio by better utilizing the Company’s excess cash position and lowering deposit growth. The following table presents the ending balances, average balances and average rates paid on deposits for the quarters ended September 30, 2012 and 2011:

	Three months ended September 30,
	2012							2011

The Bank has 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 no outstanding balance at September 30, 2012. Under terms of the blanket collateral agreement, advances from the FHLB are collateralized by qualifying securities and real estate loans, with $2.3 million available under the agreement as of September 30, 2012. 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 $88.3 million.

Capital expenditures for leased property purchases are sometimes financed by assigning certain lease term payments to banks or other financial institutions. The assigned lease payments are discounted at fixed rates such that the lease payments are sufficient to fully amortize the aggregate outstanding debt. At September 30, 2012, the Company had outstanding non-recourse debt aggregating $2.4 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 September 30, 2012, 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, 2013. The agreement is unsecured, however, the Company guarantees CalFirst Leasing’s obligations. No borrowings have been made under this line of credit as of September 30, 2012.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

The following table summarizes various contractual obligations as of September 30, 2012. Commitments to purchase property for leases are binding and generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses. Commercial loan commitments are agreements to lend to a customer or purchase a participation provided there is no violation of any condition in the contract. These commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses. Since the Company expects some of the commitments to expire without being funded, the total amounts do not necessarily represent the Company’s future liquidity requirements.

	Due by Period
Contractual Obligations	Total		Less Than 1 Year		1-5 Years		After 5 Years
	(dollars in thousands)
Commercial loan and lease purchase commitments	$	26,133	$	26,133	$	-	$	-
Lease property purchases (1)		40,655		40,655		-		-

Total contractual commitments	$	68,338	$	68,338	$	-	$	-

___________________________

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

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

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

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market risk is the risk of loss of value in a financial instrument arising from changes in market indices such as interest rates, credit spreads and securities prices. The Company’s principal market risk exposure is interest rate risk, which is the exposure due to differences in the repricing characteristics of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Market risk also arises from the impact that fluctuations in interest rates may have on security prices that may result in changes in the values of financial instruments, such as available-for-sale securities that are accounted for at fair value. As the banking operations of the Company have grown and CalFirst Bank’s deposits have increased significantly, 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 September 30, 2012, the Company had $47.6 million of cash or invested in securities of very short duration, with another $9.0 million of securities that mature within twelve months. The Company’s gross investment in lease payments receivable and loan principal of $375.2 million consists of leases with fixed rates and loans with fixed and variable rates, however, $204.8 million of such investments reprice within one year of September 30, 2012. This compares to the Bank’s interest bearing deposit liabilities of $249.8 million, of which 86.2%, or $215.2 million, reprice within one year. Based on the foregoing, at September 30, 2012 the Company had assets of $261.5 million subject to changes in interest rates over the next twelve months, compared to repricing liabilities of $215.2 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 September 30, 2012 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. 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.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.

As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company's management, including its principal executive officer and its principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
