CHINO COMMERCIAL BANCORP
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2009
Note 1 – The Business of Chino Commercial Bancorp
Chino Commercial Bancorp (the “Company”) is a California corporation registered as a bank holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, and is headquartered in Chino, California. The Company was incorporated in March 2006 and acquired all of the outstanding shares of Chino Commercial Bank, N.A. (the “Bank”) effective July 1, 2006. The Company’s principal subsidiary is the Bank, and the Company exists primarily for the purpose of holding the stock of the Bank and of such other subsidiaries it may acquire or establish. The Company’s principal source of income is dividends and tax equalization payments from the Bank, although supplemental sources of income may be explored in the future. The expenditures of the Company, including (but not limited to) the payment of dividends to shareholders, if and when declared by the Board of Directors, the cost of servicing debt, legal fees, audit fees, and shareholder costs will generally be paid from dividends paid to the Company by the Bank.
The Company’s only other direct subsidiary is Chino Statutory Trust I, which was formed on October 25, 2006 solely to facilitate the issuance of capital trust pass-through securities. This additional regulatory capital enhances the Company’s ability to maintain favorable risk-based capital ratios. Pursuant to the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (FIN 46), Chino Statutory Trust I is not reflected on a consolidated basis in the consolidated financial statements of the Company.
The Company’s Administrative Offices are located at 14345 Pipeline Avenue, Chino, California and the telephone number is (909) 393-8880. References herein to the “Company” include the Company and its consolidated subsidiary, unless the context indicates otherwise.
The Bank is a national bank which was organized under the laws of the United States in December 1999 and commenced operations on September 1, 2000. The Bank operates two full-service banking offices. The Bank’s main branch office and administrative offices are located at 14345 Pipeline Avenue, Chino, California. On January 5, 2006 the Bank opened its Ontario branch located at 1551 South Grove Avenue, Ontario, California. As a community-oriented bank, the Bank offers a wide array of commercial and consumer services which would generally be offered by a locally-managed, independently-operated bank.
Note 2 – Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial statements. They do not, however, include all of the information and footnotes required by such accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments including normal recurring accruals considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the year as a whole. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period classification. The interim financial information should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
Note 3 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements:
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly.” FSP FAS 157-4 provides additional guidance for estimating fair value in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157 when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased. The FSP also includes guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly. FSP FAS 157-4 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009, and shall be applied prospectively. Earlier adoption is permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. The adoption of FSP FAS 157-4 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments.” FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 amends SFAS No. 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” to require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods of publicly traded companies as well as in annual financial statements. In addition, the FSP amends APB Opinion No. 28, “Interim Financial Reporting,” to require those disclosures in summarized financial information at interim reporting periods. The FSP is effective for interim periods ending after June 15, 2009, with earlier adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. The adoption of FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 115-1 and FAS 124-1, “Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments.” FSP FAS 115-1 and FAS 124-1 amends other-than-temporary impairment guidance for debt securities to make guidance more operational and to improve the presentation and disclosure of other-than-temporary impairments on debt and equity securities. The FSP does not amend existing recognition and measurement guidance related to other-than-temporary impairments of equity securities. FSP FAS 115-1 and FAS 124-1 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009, with earlier adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. The adoption of FSP FAS 115-1 and FAS 124-1 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R). This Statement amends FIN 46(R) to require an enterprise to perform an analysis and ongoing reassessments to determine whether the enterprises variable interest or interests give it a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity and amends certain guidance for determining whether an entity is a variable interest entity. It also requires enhanced disclosures that will provide users of financial statements with more transparent information about an enterprises involvement in a variable interest entity. This Statement is effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009 and for all interim reporting periods after that and is not anticipated to have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as the Company has no interests in any variable interest entities.
In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, Subsequent Events. The objective of this Statement is to establish general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. In particular, this Statement sets forth the period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements, and the disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009 and did not have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company evaluated subsequent events through the filing date of our quarterly 10-Q with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 13, 2009.
In April 2009, the FASB issued Staff Position FAS No. 115-2 and FAS 124-2, Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments (FSP FAS No. 115-2 and FAS 124-2). This FSP amends the other-than-temporary impairment guidance in U.S. GAAP for debt securities to make the guidance more operational and to improve the presentation and disclosure of other-than-temporary impairments on debt and equity securities in the financial statements. This FSP does not amend existing recognition and measurement guidance related to other-than-temporary impairments of equity securities. This FSP is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. The impact of adopting FSP FAS No. 115-2 and FAS 124-2 in the second quarter of 2009 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Note 4 – Stock Based Compensation
Under the Company’s stock option plan, the Company may grant incentive stock options to officers and employees, and non-qualified stock options to its directors, officers and employees. At June 30, 2009 and 2008, there were 108,405 options available for granting. At June 30, 2009 and 2008, outstanding options amounted to 97,394 and 113,433, respectively. The Plan provides that the exercise price of these options shall not be less than the market price of the common stock on the date granted. Incentive options begin vesting after one year from date of grant at a rate of 33% per year. Non-qualified options vest as follows: 25% on the date of the grant, and 25% per year thereafter. All options expire 10 years after the date of grant. Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment, which requires that compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in the financial statements with measurement based upon the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued.
The most recent grant of options occurred in 2003. All compensation expense associated with those grants were fully expensed as of December 31, 2006.
Note 5 - Earnings per share (EPS)
Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by dividing earnings available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in earnings.
The basic and diluted earnings per share are as follows:

Note 6 - Off-Balance-Sheet Commitments
The Company is a party to credit-related financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to grant loans, unadvanced lines of credit, standby letters of credit and commercial letters of credit. Such commitments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheets.
The Company’s exposure to credit loss is represented by the contractual amount of these commitments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments. At June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Company had $4.9 million of off-balance sheet commitments to extend credit. These commitments represent a credit risk to the Company. At June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Company had $3,000 and $128,000, respectively, in unadvanced standby letters of credit.
Commitments to grant loans are agreements to lend to customers as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since some of the commitments may expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer. Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, equipment, income-producing commercial properties, residential properties, and properties under construction.
Note 7 – Fair Value Measurement
SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”, defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurement and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. The three levels are defined as follows:
- Level 1 - Valuation is based upon quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets that the Company has the ability to access.
- 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 significant assumptions are observable in the market.
- Level 3 - Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use significant assumptions not observable in the market and are used only to the extent that observable inputs are not available. These unobservable assumptions reflect the Company’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques include the use of option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques.
Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy:

Certain financial assets are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with GAAP. Adjustments to the fair value of these assets usually result from the application of lower-of-cost-or-market accounting or write-downs of individual assets.
Loans held for sale
Loans held for sale are required to be measured at the lower of cost or fair value. Under SFAS No. 157, market value is to represent fair value. Management obtains quotes or bids on all or part of these loans directly from the purchasing financial institutions. Premiums received or to be received on the quotes or bids are indicative of the fact that cost is lower than fair value. At June 30, 2009, there were no loans held for sale.
Impaired loans
SFAS No. 157 applies to loans measured for impairment using the practical expedients permitted by SFAS No. 114, “Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan”, including impaired loans measured at an observable market price (if available), or at the fair value of the loan’s collateral (if the loan is collateral dependent). Fair value of the loan’s collateral, when the loan is dependent on collateral, is determined by appraisal or independent valuation which is then adjusted for the cost related to liquidation of the collateral. The Company had no impaired loans at June 30, 2009.
Other Real Estate Owned
Certain assets such as other real estate owned (OREO) are measured at fair value less cost to sell. We believe that the fair value component in its valuation follows the provisions of SFAS No. 157.
The following table summarizes the Company’s OREO that were measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis during the period.

FASB Staff Position FAS No. 107-1 and ABP 28-1, require interim reporting period disclosure about the fair value of financial instruments, including assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet items for which it is practicable to estimate fair value. The fair value estimates are made based upon relevant market information, if available, and upon the characteristics of the financial instruments themselves. Because no market exists for a significant portion of the Company’s financial instruments, fair value estimates are based upon judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments and other factors. The estimated fair value of the Company’s financial instruments as of June 30, 2009 is shown below.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND
ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Forward Looking Information
This discussion focuses primarily on the results of operations of the Company and its consolidated subsidiary on a consolidated basis for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, and the financial condition of the Company as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008.
Management’s discussion and analysis is written to provide greater insight into the results of operations and the financial condition of the Company and its subsidiary. For a more complete understanding of the Company and its operations, reference should be made to the consolidated financial statements included in this report and in the Company's 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Certain matters discussed in this report contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. When used in this report, or in the documents incorporated by reference herein, the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “may,” “intend,” “expect,” and similar expressions identify certain of such forward-looking statements. Actual results could differ materially from such forward-looking statements contained herein. Factors that could cause future results to vary from current expectations include, but are not limited to, the following: changes in economic conditions (both generally and more specifically in the markets in which the Company operates); changes in interest rates, deposit flows, loan demand, real estate values and competition; changes in accounting principles, policies or guidelines and in government legislation and regulation (which change from time to time and over which the Company has no control); other factors affecting the Company’s operations, markets, products and services; and other risks detailed in this Form 10-Q and in the Company’s other reports filed with the SEC pursuant to the SEC’s rules and regulations. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which reflect management’s analysis only as of the date hereof. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly revise these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that arise after the date thereof.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make a number of judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, income and expenses in the Company’s financial statements and accompanying notes. Management believes that the judgments, estimates and assumptions used in preparation of the Company’s financial statements are appropriate given the factual circumstances as of June 30, 2009.
Various elements of the Company’s accounting policies, by their nature, are inherently subject to estimation techniques, valuation assumptions and other subjective assessments. Critical accounting policies are those that involve the most complex and subjective decisions and assessments and have the greatest potential impact on the Company’s results of operation. In particular, management has identified one accounting policy that, due to judgments, estimates and assumptions inherent in this policy, and the sensitivity of the Company’s financial statements to those judgments, estimates and assumptions, is critical to an understanding of the Company’s financial statements. This policy relates to the methodology that determines the Company’s allowance for loan losses. Management has discussed the development and selection of this critical accounting policy with the Company’s Audit Committee of the Board of Directors. Although Management believes the level of the allowance at June 30, 2009 is adequate to absorb losses inherent in the loan portfolio, a further decline in the regional economy may result in increasing losses that cannot reasonably be predicted at this time. For further information regarding the allowance for loan losses and related methodology see “Comparison of Financial Condition at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 – Allowance for Loan Losses” included elsewhere herein.
Overview of the Results of Operations and Financial Condition
Results of Operations Summary
Second quarter 2009 compared to second quarter 2008
Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 was $73,529 compared with $146,405 for the quarter ended June 30, 2008, a decline of 49.8%. Basic and diluted earnings per share for the second quarter of 2009 were $0.10, compared to $0.21 and $0.19, respectively, for the second quarter of 2008. The Company’s annualized return on average equity was 4.76% and annualized return on average assets was 0.32% for the quarter ended June 30, 2009, compared to a return on average equity of 10.03% and a return on assets of 0.80% for same quarter in 2008. The primary reasons for the change in net income during the second quarter of 2009 are as follows:
· The net interest margin declined from 5.54% to 4.39%, due principally to a drop in the interest rates on interest earning assets, an increase in interest bearing deposits to total deposits, and competitive pressures on deposit interest rates. As a result, net interest income decreased $6,143 or 0.7% during the three months ended June 30, 2009.
· The provision for loan losses increased to $127,730 during the second quarter of 2009, an increase of $83,957 or 191.8%, as compared to $43,733 for the three months ended June 30, 2008. Approximately 93% of the provision in the second quarter of 2009 was due to the increase in outstanding loans during that quarter (see below). The remaining increase related to general economic conditions in the Company’s market area and in the real estate industry specifically, despite the fact that the Company had no nonperforming loans and no delinquencies at June 30, 2009.
· Other miscellaneous income, which includes gains and losses from OREO, decreased $11,793 in the second quarter of 2009, compared to the second quarter of 2008. This was due primarily to a write-down of OREO resulting in a net loss from sale of OREO of $13,521 for the second quarter of 2009. No OREO losses occurred during the same period in 2008.
· Dividend income from restricted stock decreased $23,584 comparing the second quarter of 2009 with the same quarter in 2008, resulting from an accrual reversal for stock dividends receivable from the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco (FHLB). The FHLB has temporarily ceased paying dividends.
· Salaries and employee benefits decreased $55,719, or 11.2%, to $433,780 for the second quarter of 2009 compared to the same period of 2008 due to a decrease in staff through attrition, a refund for the prior year’s workers compensation insurance, and an increase in capitalized loan costs. Capitalized loan costs increased $23,058 due to increased new loan activity while salaries and employee benefits decreased $32,661.
· Regulatory assessments increased in the second quarter of 2009 by $69,877 compared to the second quarter of 2008. The substantial increase was predominately due to a one-time special FDIC assessment, which on a pre-tax basis was approximately $42,000. Along with this one-time expense, the Bank's quarterly FDIC assessment rate increased substantially as well.
First half of 2009 compared to the first half of 2008
Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was $192,798 compared with $187,876 for the first six months of 2008, an increase of 2.6%. Basic and diluted earnings per share for the six months ended June 30, 2009 were $0.27 and $0.26, respectively, compared to $0.27 and $0.25, respectively, for the same period in 2008. Annualized return on average equity was 6.22% and a return on assets of 0.44%, compared to a return on equity of 6.42% and a return on assets of 0.50% for the same period in 2008. The primary reasons for the change in net income during the first half of 2009 are as follows:
· The net interest margin declined from 5.41% to 4.42%, due principally to a drop in the interest rates on interest earning assets, an increase in interest bearing deposits to total deposits, and competitive pressures on deposit interest rates. As a result, net interest income decreased $68,428 or 3.8% during the first half of 2009.
· The provisions for loan losses decreased $134,523 or 48.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2009, despite the increased provision in the second quarter relating to loan growth. The decrease was due in part to the fact that in the Company had $402,000 in charge-offs during the first six months of 2008, versus no charge-offs during the comparable period in 2009. As a result, despite the decrease in the loan loss provision for the first half of 2009 compared to same period in 2008, the allowance for loan losses was 1.48% of total loans at June 30, 2009 compared to 1.27% at June 30, 2008 and 1.41% at December 31, 2008. The decrease in the provision was also related to the fact that total nonperforming assets decreased from $1.2 million at June 30, 2008 to $426,081 at June 30, 2009 (see below).
· Service charge income decreased by $27,986 or 5.8% for the first half of 2009, due to a decrease in volume of deposit transactions subject to analysis charges and returned item charges.
· Other miscellaneous income, which includes gains and losses from OREO, decreased $10,665 in the first half of 2009, compared to the second quarter of 2008. This was due primarily to a write-down of OREO resulting in a net loss from sale of OREO of $13,521 for the first half of 2009. No losses from OREO occurred during the same period in 2008.
· Dividend income from restricted stock decreased $23,668 comparing the second quarter of 2009 with the same quarter in 2008, resulting from an accrual reversal for stock dividends receivable from the FHLB. The FHLB has temporarily ceased paying dividends.
· For the six months ended June 30, 2009 salaries and benefits decreased $44,816 or 4.6% as compared with the first half of 2008. This was due to a decrease in staff from 26 to 25 full-time equivalent employees which was accomplished through attrition that resulted in $15,227 decrease in salaries and benefits. Increased loan activity resulted in a $29,589 increase in capitalized loan costs.
· Regulatory assessments increased in the first half of 2009 by $77,425 compared to the same period of 2008. The substantial increase was predominately due to a one-time special FDIC assessment, which on a pre-tax basis was approximately $42,000. Along with this one-time expense, the Bank's quarterly FDIC assessment rate increased substantially as well.
Financial Condition Summary
The Company’s total assets were $94.3 million at June 30, 2009, a growth of $10.9 million, or 13.0% as compared to total assets of $83.4 million at December 31, 2008. The most significant changes in the Company’s balance sheet during the six months ended June 30, 2009 are outlined below:
- Total deposits increased from $71.0 million on December 31, 2008 to $84.0 million on June 30, 2009, an 18.3% increase. Non-interest bearing deposits increased $2.5 million or 7.6% to $35.1 in the six months ended June 30, 2009 as compared to December 31, 2008.
- Total non-interest bearing deposits increased from $38.4 million at December 31, 2008 to $48.9 million at June 30, 2009, a 27.4% increase. Non-interest bearing deposits to total deposits declined from 45.9% at December 31, 2008 to 41.8% at June 30, 2009 as the Company continues to focus on attracting new customers through competitive rates on interest-bearing accounts.
- The Company experienced an increase in interest-earning assets of $10.9 million or 14.6% to $85.1 million in the first half of 2009. Gross loans rose from $49.8 million to $57.1 million, a 14.7% increase, in part by the completion of a $6.4 million dollar whole loan purchase in early May, in addition to organic loan growth. Total investments increased 14.6% to $28.0 million in the first half of 2009.
- Nonperforming assets were comprised of one OREO property totaling $426,081 at June 30, 2009, as compared to $1,065,474 at December 31, 2008, consisting of one commercial real estate loan and one OREO.
Earnings Performance
The Company earns income from two primary sources: The first is net interest income, which is interest income generated by earning assets less interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities; the second is non-interest income, which primarily consists of customer service charges and fees but also comes from non-customer sources such as bank-owned life insurance. The majority of the Company’s non-interest expenses are operating costs that relate to providing a full range of banking services to the Bank’s customers.
Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin
For the second quarter, net interest income declined $6,143, or 0.7%, to $894,333 in 2009 from $900,476 in 2008. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, net interest income declined $68,428, or 3.8%, to $1.7 million in 2009 from $1.8 million in 2008. The level of net interest income depends on several factors in combination, including growth in earning assets, yields on earning assets, the cost of interest-bearing liabilities, the relative volumes of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, and the mix of products which comprise the Company’s earning assets, deposits, and other interest-bearing liabilities. Occasionally, net interest income is also impacted by the recovery of interest on loans that have been on non-accrual and are either sold or returned to accrual status, or by the reversal of accrued but unpaid interest for loans placed on non-accrual. The Company’s net interest income, net interest margin and interest spread are sensitive to general business and economic conditions, including short-term and long-term interest rates, inflation, monetary supply, and the strength of the economy, and the local economics in which the Company conducts business. When net interest income is expressed as a percentage of average earning assets, the results is the net interest margin.
The following tables set forth certain information relating to the Company for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008. The yields and costs are derived by dividing income or expense by the corresponding average balances of assets or liabilities for the periods shown below. Average balances are derived from average daily balances. Yields include fees that are considered adjustments to yields.

1 Amortization of loan fees has been included in the calculation of interest income. Loan fees were approximately $23,300 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 as compared to $87,400 for the six months ended June 30, 2008. Loans are net of deferred fees and related direct costs.
2 Represents the average rate earned on interest‑earning assets less the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities.
3 Represents net interest income as a percentage of average interest‑earning assets.
4 Average Yield/Rate is based upon actual days based on 365- and 366-day years.
Rate/Volume Analysis
The Volume and Rate Variances table below sets forth the dollar difference in interest earned and paid for each major category of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities for the noted periods, and the amount of such change attributable to changes in average balances (volume) or changes in average interest rates. Volume variances are equal to the increase or decrease in average balance multiplied by prior period rates, and rate variances are equal to the increase or decrease in average rate times prior period average balances. Variances attributable to both rate and volume changes are calculated by multiplying the change in rate by the change in average balance, and are allocated to the rate and volume variance.
As shown above, the pure volume variance negatively impacted net interest income by $15,000 in the second quarter of 2009 relative to the same period of 2008, while the rate variance positively impacted net interest income by $9,000 in the same comparative periods.
The Company’s net interest income for the second quarter of 2009 was $894,333 compared to $900,476 in the second quarter of 2008, a decrease of $6,143, or 0.7%. The net interest margin was 4.39% for the three months ended June 30, 2009 as compared to 5.54% for the same period in 2008 due principally to an increase in the average balance of interest bearing demand deposits and competitive pressures on deposit interest rates.
Average loans decreased $1.0 million or 1.9% for the second quarter of 2009 compared with the same period of 2008. Interest and fee income on loans decreased $27,254. The decrease in average loans resulted in approximately $21,000 decrease in interest income from loans, while the decrease in interest rate resulted in approximately $6,000 decrease in income. The average yield on loans declined from 7.42% for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 to 7.33% for the quarter ended June 30, 2009.
Income from investment securities and due from banks for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 increased by $92,025 in comparison to the quarter ended June 30, 2008. The primary reason for the increased interest income was due to the increase in the average balance of investment securities and due from banks of approximately $18.4 million or 185.1%. The growth in average investment securities and due from banks time balances caused an increase of interest income of approximately $112,000, while the rate decrease caused a decline in interest income of approximately $21,000 from investment securities and due from banks time for the second quarter of 2009 as compared to the same quarter in 2008. The average yield for investment securities and due from banks time declined from 4.52% for the 3 months ended June 30, 2008 to 2.88% for the same period in 2009.
Average Federal funds sold decreased $1.2 million or 96.9% in the three month period ended June 30, 2009 compared to the three month period ended June 30, 2008. The reduction in Federal funds sold balances caused a reduction of interest income of approximately $3,000, while the rate decrease caused a further decline in interest income of approximately $3,000 from Federal funds sold for the second quarter of 2009 as compared to the same quarter in 2008. The average yield for Federal funds sold declined from 1.97% for the 3 months ended June 30, 2008 to 0.23% for the same period in 2009.
Average interest-bearing liabilities increased $17.6 million in the second quarter of 2009 as compared to the second quarter of 2008. The Company experienced continued migration of existing deposits to higher yielding accounts and higher yielding accounts opened by new customers resulting in increases in money market and time account balances. The increase in average interest-bearing deposits resulted in approximately a $103,000 increase in interest expense which was offset by a decrease of approximately $39,000 due to a decrease in rates in the second quarter of 2009 as compared to the second quarter of 2008.
Pure volume variances negatively impacted net interest income by approximately $73,000 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2009 relative to the same period of 2008, while the rate variance positively impacted net interest income by approximately $5,000 in the same comparative periods.
Interest income increased $32,233 or 1.4% in the six month period ended June 30, 2009 compared to the same period of 2008, while interest expense increased $100,661 or 21.5%. Interest and fee income from loans decreased during the six months ended June 30, 2009 by $120,352, or 6.1% from $1,984,365 for the same period in 2008 due to a decline in average loan balances and rate decreases.
Due to the growth in average deposits, investment securities and due from banks time deposits average balances increased as did income from those balances. The most significant increase was in due from banks time deposits, which experienced a positive volume variance of approximately $228,000 and a negative rate variance of $22,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the same period in 2008. Interest income from Investment securities and Due from banks time increased $183,507 or 77.1% to $421,605 for the six ended June 30, 2009 compared to the same period of 2008.
Interest expense on deposits increased $100,913, or 27.6% to $466,395 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the same period of 2008. Average interest bearing deposits to average total deposits increased from 44.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2008 to 55.7% for the same period in 2009 as new and existing deposits continue to migrate to higher yielding accounts. The Company’s net interest margin declined from 5.41% to 4.42%, for the six months ended June 30, 2009 versus 2008 due principally to a drop in interest rates and an increase in the average balance of interest bearing demand deposits and competitive pressures on deposit interest rates. As a result, net interest income decreased $68,428 or 3.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2009, as compared to the same period of 2008.
Provision for Loan Losses
Provisions to the allowance for loan losses are made monthly if needed, in anticipation of future potential loan losses. The monthly provision is calculated on a predetermined methodology to ensure adequacy as the portfolio grows. The methodology utilized is composed of various components. Allowance factors are utilized in estimating the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. The allowance is determined by assigning general reserves on a non-classified loans, and specific allowances for individual classified loans. As higher allowance levels become necessary as a result of this analysis, the allowance for loan losses will be increased through the provision for loan losses. The procedures for monitoring the adequacy of the allowance, and detailed information on the allowance, are included below under “Allowance for Loan Losses.”
The Company provided $143,881 to the reserve for loan losses during the first half of 2009, a 48.3% decrease over the same period during 2008. The majority of the 2009 provision was due to loan growth, the Company having increased gross loans by $7.3 million in the first six months of 2009. The Company made the significant provision to the Loan Loss Reserve during the first half of 2008, due to increased nonperforming loans, and net charge-offs of $332,000. The Company has had no charged-off loans in the six months ended June 30, 2009, no nonperforming loans, and only four past-due credits totaling under $50,000 at June 30, 2009.
The Company continues to pursue recovery of the loans charged off during the preceding year. The Company has not originated and does not hold sub-prime mortgage loans, or option ARM mortgages.
Non-Interest Income
Non-interest income was $252,708 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 as compared to $295,356 for the three months ended June 30, 2008, a 14.4% decrease. For the first half of 2009, non-interest income decreased 10.6% to $500,161 compared to $559,744 for the same period in 2008. Total annualized non-interest income as a percentage of average earning assets increased to 1.2% and 1.3% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively, compared to 1.8% and 1.7% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively. The decreases were due primarily to the reductions in dividend income caused by a reversal of FHLB accrued dividend and other miscellaneous income.

Other miscellaneous income, which includes gains and losses from OREO, decreased $11,793 in the second quarter resulting in a decrease of $10,665 for the first half of 2009, compared to the second quarter and first half of 2008, respectively. This was due primarily to a write-down of OREO resulting in a net loss from sale of OREO of $13,521 for the second quarter of 2009. No OREO losses occurred during the same period in 2008.
Dividend income from restricted stock decreased $23,584 in the second quarter and $23,668 for the first half of 2009 in comparison to the same periods in 2008, resulting from an accrual reversal for stock dividends receivable from the FHLB. The FHLB has temporarily ceased paying dividends.
The service charges on deposit accounts, customer fees and miscellaneous income are comprised primarily of fees charged to deposit accounts and depository related services. Fees on deposit accounts consist of periodic service charges and fees that relate to specific actions, such as the return or payment of checks presented against accounts with insufficient funds. Depository related services include fees for money orders and cashier’s checks, placing stop payments on checks, check-printing fees, wire transfer fees, fees for safe deposit boxes and fees for returned items or checks that were previously deposited. Service charges decreased $8,389 or 3.3% to $243,876 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and decreased $27,986 or 5.8% to $456,837 for the six months period ended June 30, 2009. The decrease was primarily attributable to decreased analysis charges and returned item charges. The Company periodically reviews service charges to maximize service charge income while still maintaining competitive pricing. Service charge income on deposit accounts increases with the increased number of accounts and to the extent fees are not waived. Therefore, as the number of accounts increases, the nominal service charge income is expected to increase.

Total annualized non-interest expense as a percentage of average earning assets decreased to 4.5% from 5.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2009 as compared to three months ended June 30, 2008. Although non-interest expense remained relatively the same for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, these percentages were 4.6% and 5.4%, respectively. Total annualized non-interest expense as a percentage of average assets decreased due to the increase in average earning assets. The efficiency ratio increased from 77.1% and 76.1%, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 to 79.7% and 80.5%, respectively, for the same periods in 2009 due mainly to the reduction of net interest income.
Non-interest expenses were $914,067 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 as compared to $922,549 for the three months ended June 30, 2008, a 0.9% decrease. Non-interest expenses decreased $655 to $1,784,643 for the first half of 2009 compared to the same period in 2008. The largest component of non-interest expense was salaries and benefits expense of $443,780 for the second quarter and $932,475 for the first half of 2009 compared to $499,499 and $977,291 for the same periods in 2008, representing 11.2% and 4.6% decreases, respectively.
Other components of non-interest expense that affected the decrease were Data and item processing expense which decreased by $14,105, or 17.1% for the comparable three month and $23,300, or 14.1% for the comparable six month periods due to a reduction in the number of transactions processed during the first half of 2009 as compared to the same period of 2008. Occupancy and equipment expenses decreased $3,906 and $10,076, respectively for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2009 due to reductions in depreciation expense and property taxes. Legal and other professional fees decreased 10.3% and 5.7% or $5,188 and $5,435, respectively, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the same periods in 2008.
For the second quarter of 2009, regulatory assessments expense increased $69,877 or 335.7% and $77,425 or 187.5% over the second quarter and first half, respectively, of 2008. The substantial increase was predominately due to a one-time special FDIC assessment, which on a pre-tax basis was approximately $42,000. The increased quarterly assessment rate caused additional increases in this expense. On May 22, 2009, the FDIC announced a special assessment on insured institutions as part of its efforts to rebuild the Deposit Insurance Fund and to help maintain public confidence in the banking system. The special assessment is five basis points of each FDIC-insured depository institution's assets minus Tier 1 capital as of June 30, 2009.
Provision for Income Taxes
The tax provision was $31,715 and $95,472 for the second quarter and the six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively, representing approximately 30.1% and 33.1% of pre-tax income for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively. In comparison, the tax provision was $83,105 and $93,227 for the second quarter and the six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively, representing approximately 36.2% and 33.2% of pre-tax income. The amount of the tax provision is determined by applying the Company’s statutory income tax rates to pre-tax book income, adjusted for permanent differences between pre-tax book income and actual taxable income. Such permanent differences include but are not limited to tax-exempt interest income; increases in the cash surrender value of bank-owned life insurance, compensation expense associated with stock options and certain other expenses that are not allowed as tax deductions, and tax credits.
Financial Condition
Comparison of Financial Condition at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008
General
Total assets increased from $83.4 million to $94.3 million or 13.0% between December 31, 2008 and June 30, 2009, resulting from an increase in deposit balances of $13.0 million. Although approximately 21% and 16% of the deposits at December 31, 2008 and June 30, 2009, respectively, are related to a number of the Company’s customers that are engaged in real estate related activities, the Company’s growth in deposits was primarily from other companies and individuals outside of real estate related activities. The Company continues to actively seek to develop alternative and supplemental business relationships with other companies and individuals in an effort to offset the potential reductions and more fully leverage the Company’s capital.
Gross loans increased $7.3 million or 14.7% as a result of loan purchases of $6.3 million and organic loan growth.
Loan Portfolio
During the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company’s loan portfolio, net of unearned loan fees, increased by $7.3 million, or 14.7%, to $57.1 million at June 30, 2009 as compared to $49.8 million at December 31, 2008. Gross loans rose in part by the completion of a $6.4 million dollar whole loan purchase in early May, in addition to organic loan growth. The Company experienced declines in construction and commercial loans, while experiencing increases in real estate secured loans. The largest loan category at June 30, 2009 was real estate loans, which consist of commercial, and consumer real estate loans excluding construction loans. This constitutes 82.5% of the loan portfolio. In anticipation of further deterioration in economic conditions, though Management believes these credits to be properly underwritten, the Company has elected to take real estate collateral in an abundance of caution on a number of commercial loans. Though the result of this strategy may be to reflect a concentration of assets into real estate secured credits, Management believes the underlying collateral will support overall credit quality and minimize principal risk of the portfolio. The next largest loan concentration at June 30, 2009 was commercial loans constituting 16.1% of the loan portfolio. The composition of the Company’s loan portfolio at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 is set forth below:

The weighted average yield on the loan portfolio for the six months and quarter ended June 30, 2009 was 7.36% and 7.33%, respectively and the weighted average contractual term of the loan portfolio is approximately seven years. Individual loan interest rates may require interest rate changes more frequently than at maturity due to adjustable interest rate terms incorporated into certain loans. At June 30, 2009 approximately 87.2% of loans were variable rate loans tied to adjustable rate indices such as Prime Rate.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
During the ordinary course of business, the Company will provide various forms of credit lines to meet the financing needs of its customers. These commitments to provide credit represent an obligation of the Company to its customers, which is not represented in any form within the balance sheets of the Company. At June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Company had $4.9 million of off-balance sheet commitments to extend credit, which includes unadvanced letters of credit. These commitments are the result of existing unused lines of credit and unfunded loan commitments. These commitments are supported by promissory notes payable upon demand of the Company. These commitments represent a credit risk to the Company. At June 30, 2009 and at December 31, 2008, the Company had $3,000 and $128,000, respectively, in unadvanced letters of credit. These letters of credit are sometimes unsecured and may not necessarily be drawn upon to the total extent to which the Company is committed.
The effect on the Company’s revenues, expenses, cash flows and liquidity from the unused portion of the commitments to provide credit cannot be reasonably predicted because there is no guarantee that the lines of credit will ever be used.
Non-performing Assets
Non-performing assets are comprised of loans on non-accrual status, loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing interest, loans restructured where the terms of repayment have been renegotiated resulting in a reduction or deferral of interest or principal, and OREO. Loans are generally placed on non-accrual status when they become 90 days past due unless Management believes the loan is adequately collateralized and in the process of collection. Loans may be restructured by Management when a borrower has experienced some change in financial status, causing an inability to meet the original repayment terms, and where the Company believes the borrower will eventually overcome those circumstances and repay the loan in full. OREO consists of properties acquired by foreclosure or similar means that Management intends to offer for sale.
Management’s classification of a loan as non-accrual is an indication that there is a reasonable doubt as to the full collectability of principal and/or interest on the loan; at this point, the Company stops recognizing income from the interest on the loan and may reverse any uncollected interest that had been accrued but unpaid if it is determined uncollectible or the collateral is inadequate to support such accrued interest amount. These loans may or may not be collateralized, but collection efforts are continuously pursued.

2Restructured loans are loans where the terms are renegotiated to provide a reduction or deferral of interest or principal due to deterioration in the financial position of the borrower. |
||||||||
3Total loans are gross loans, which excludes the allowance for loan losses, and net of unearned loan fees. |
At June 30, 2009 the Company had one foreclosed property (OREO) consisting of 16 remaining residential units, no loans on non-accrual status, and no restructured loans. The Company’s nonperforming assets as a percentage of total loans and OREO at June 30, 2009 were 0.74% of the total loans and OREO. The loan on non-accrual status at December 31, 2008 was placed back on accrual status during the first quarter of 2009 after performing as agreed and a substantial reduction of principal during 2008. At December 31, 2008, the Company had one foreclosed property consisting of 23 remaining residential units, one loan on non-accrual status, and no restructured loans. The Company’s nonperforming assets at December 31, 2008 were 2.11% of the total loans and OREO.
Allowance for Loan Losses
The Company maintains an allowance for loan losses at a level Management considers adequate to cover the inherent risk of loss associated with its loan portfolio under prevailing and anticipated economic conditions. In determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, Management takes into consideration growth trends in the portfolio, examination by financial institution supervisory authorities, prior loan loss experience of the Company’s Management, concentrations of credit risk, delinquency trends, general economic conditions, the interest rate environment, and internal and external credit reviews.
The Company formally assesses the adequacy of the allowance on a quarterly basis. This assessment is comprised of: (i) reviewing the adversely classified, delinquent or otherwise problematic loans; (ii) generating an estimate of the loss potential in each loan; (iii) adding a risk factor for industry, economic or other external factors; and (iv) evaluating the present status of each loan and the impact of potential future events.
Allowance factors are utilized in the analysis of the allowance for loan losses. Allowance factors ranging from 0.47% to 7.07% are applied to disbursed loans that are unclassified and uncriticized. Allowance factors averaging approximately 0.24% are applied to undisbursed loans. Allowance factors are not applied to loans secured by bank deposits or to loans held for sale, which are recorded at the lower of cost or market.
The process of providing for loan losses involves judgmental discretion, and eventually losses may therefore differ from even the most recent estimates. Due to these limitations, the Company assumes that there are losses inherent in the current loan portfolio but which have not yet been identified. The Company therefore attempts to maintain the allowance at an amount sufficient to cover such unknown but inherent losses.
Management looks at a number of economic events occurring in and around the real estate industry and analyzes each credit for associated risks. Accordingly, the Company has established and maintains an allowance for loan losses which amounted to $846,492 at June 30, 2009, $702,409 at December 31, 2008, and $670,786 at June 30, 2008. The ratios of the allowance for loan losses to total loans at June 30, 2009, December 31, 2008, and June 30, 2008 were 1.48%, 1.41%, and 1.27% respectively.
The table below summarizes, as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 and the year ended December 31, 2008, the loan balances at the end of the period and the daily average loan balances during the period; changes in the allowance for loan losses arising from loan charge-offs, recoveries on loans previously charged-off, and additions to the allowance which have been charged against earnings, and certain ratios related to the allowance for loan losses.

While Management believes that the amount of the allowance at June 30, 2009 was adequate, there can be no assurances that future economic or other factors will not adversely affect the Company’s borrowers, or that the Company’s asset quality may not deteriorate through failure to identify and monitor potential problem loans or for other reasons, thereby causing loan losses to exceed the current allowance.
Investment Portfolio
The market value of the Company’s investment portfolio at June 30, 2009 was $9.9 million having a tax equivalent yield of 4.62%. This compares to an investment portfolio of $12.0 million at December 31, 2008 having a 4.77% tax equivalent yield. The primary category of investment in the portfolio at June 30, 2009 was mortgage-backed securities. At June 30, 2009, approximately 47% of the mortgage-backed securities were tied to adjustable rate indices such as LIBOR or Constant Maturity Treasury (CMT). Management anticipates purchasing additional short-term investment securities and interest-bearing deposits in other banks until loan demand increases.
The following table summarizes the carrying value and market value and distribution of the Company’s investment securities at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008:

There were no material changes since December 31, 2008 in the maturities or repricing of the investment securities.
Deposits
Total deposits increased $13.0 million or 18.3% to $84.0 million at June 30, 2009 from $71.0 million at December 31, 2008 due to the increase in interest-bearing deposit balances and demand deposits. Interest-bearing deposits increased $10.5 million or 27.4% to $48.9 million at June 30, 2009 from $38.4 million at December 31, 2008. Demand deposits increased $2.5 million or 7.6% to $35.1 million at June 30, 2009 from $32.6 million at December 31, 2008. The ratio of non-interest bearing funds to total deposits was 41.8% at June 30, 2009 and 45.9% at December 31, 2008.
A comparative distribution of the Company’s deposits at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, by outstanding balance as well as by percentage of total deposits, is presented in the following table:

Deposits are the Company’s primary source of funds. As the Company’s need for lendable funds grows, dependence on deposits increases. Information concerning the average balance and average rates paid on deposits by deposit type for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 is contained in the “Distribution, Yield and Rate Analysis of Net Interest Income” tables appearing in a previous section titled “Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin.” At June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Company had deposits from related parties representing 8.1% and 13.9% of total deposits of the Company, respectively. Further, at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, deposits from escrow companies represented 15.6% and 16.1% of the Company’s total deposits, respectively. There are some escrow company deposits which are also classified as deposits from related parties.
Borrowings
At June 30, 2009 the Company had no FHLB advances or overnight borrowings outstanding, as compared to $2.4 million FHLB borrowings outstanding at December 31, 2008. On December 21, 2005, the Company entered into a stand by letter of credit with the FHLB for $800,000, which matures and renews annually, as needed. This stand-by letter of credit was issued as collateral for local agency deposits that the Company is maintaining.
Stockholders’ Equity
Total stockholders’ equity was $6.3 million at June 30, 2009 and $6.2 million at December 31, 2008. There was an overall increase of $149,606 due to the following transactions: A decrease resulted from stock repurchases totaling $144,750 under the Company’s stock repurchase program. The total shares repurchased during the first half of 2009 were 14,535. Options exercised increased stockholders’ equity by $59,622, including the tax benefit of $7,641, while increasing outstanding stock by 7,426 shares. Net income increased retained earnings by $192,798. The change in the unrealized loss on investment securities increased equity by $41,936 during the first half of 2009.
Liquidity
Maintenance of adequate liquidity requires that sufficient resources be available at all times to meet the Company’s cash flow requirements. Liquidity in a banking institution is required primarily to provide for deposit withdrawals and the credit needs of its customers and to take advantage of investment opportunities as they arise. Liquidity management involves the Company’s ability to convert assets into cash or cash equivalents without significant loss, and to raise cash or maintain funds without incurring excessive additional cost. The Company maintains a portion of its funds in cash, deposits in other banks, overnight investments, and securities held for sale. Liquid assets include cash and due from banks, less the federal reserve requirement; Federal funds sold; interest-bearing deposits in financial institutions, and unpledged investment securities available for sale. At June 30, 2009, the Company’s liquid assets totaled approximately $22.2 million and its liquidity level, measured as the percentage of liquid assets to total assets, was 23.6%. At December 31, 2008, the Company’s liquid assets totaled approximately $23.9 million and its liquidity level, measured as the percentage of liquid assets to total assets, was 28.7%. Management anticipates that liquid assets and the liquidity level will decline as the Company becomes more leveraged in the future. The Company’s current policy is to maintain a minimum of 8% liquidity.
Although the Company’s primary sources of liquidity include liquid assets and a stable deposit base, the Company has Fed funds lines of credit of $4 million at Union Bank of California and $3.5 million at Pacific Coast Bankers’ Bank. The Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank. In addition, as a member of the FHLB, the Bank may borrow funds collateralized by the Bank’s securities or qualified loans up to 25% of its eligible total asset base, or $21.4 million at June 30, 2009.
Capital Resources
The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can trigger mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by the regulators that, if undertaken, could have a material effect on the Bank’s financial statements and operations. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank’s assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accepted accounting practices. The Bank’s capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk-weightings, and other factors.
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain the following minimum ratios: Total risk-based capital ratio of at least 8%, Tier 1 Risk-based capital ratio of at least 4%, and a leverage ratio of at least 4%. Total capital is classified into two components: Tier 1 (common shareholders equity, qualifying perpetual preferred stock to certain limits, minority interests in equity accounts of consolidated subsidiaries and trust preferred securities to certain limits, less goodwill and other intangibles) and Tier 2 (supplementary capital including allowance for possible credit losses to certain limits, certain preferred stock, eligible subordinated debt, and other qualifying instruments).
As noted previously, the Company’s subordinated note represents $3.1 million in borrowings from its unconsolidated subsidiary. This subordinated note currently qualifies for inclusion as Tier 1 capital for regulatory purposes to the extent that it does not exceed 25% of total Tier 1 capital, but is classified as long-term debt in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. On March 1, 2005, the Federal Reserve Board adopted a final rule that allows the continued inclusion of trust-preferred securities (and/or related subordinated debentures) in the Tier 1 capital of bank holding companies. Generally, the amount of junior subordinated debentures in excess of the 25% Tier 1 limitation is included in Tier 2 capital.
The Bank had Total Risk-Based and Tier 1 Risk-Based capital ratios of 15.01% and 13.76%, respectively at June 30, 2009, as compared to 16.09% and 14.90%, respectively at December 31, 2008. At June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Bank’s Leverage Capital Ratios were 10.24% and 11.38%, respectively. As of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Bank was “well-capitalized.” To be categorized as well-capitalized the Bank must maintain Total Risk-Based, Tier 1 Risk-Based, and Tier 1 Leverage Ratios of at least 10%, 6% and 5%, respectively.
Under the Federal Reserve Board’s guidelines, Chino Commercial Bancorp is a “small bank holding company,” and thus qualifies for an exemption from the consolidated risk-based and leverage capital adequacy guidelines applicable to bank holding companies with assets of $500 million or more. However, while not required to do so under the Federal Reserve Bank’s capital adequacy guidelines, the Company still maintains levels of capital on a consolidated basis which qualify it as “well capitalized.” As of June 30, 2009, the Company’s Total Risk-Based and Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital ratios were 15.30% and 12.51%, respectively, and its Leverage Capital ratio was 9.42%.

Presently, there are no outstanding commitments that would necessitate the use of material amounts of the Company’s capital.
Interest Rate Risk Management
The principal objective of interest rate risk management (often referred to as “asset/liability management”) is to manage the financial components of the Company’s balance sheet so as to optimize the risk/reward equation for earnings and capital in relation to changing interest rates. In order to identify areas of potential exposure to rate changes, the Company calculates its repricing gap on a quarterly basis. It also performs an earnings simulation analysis and market value of portfolio equity calculation on a quarterly basis to identify more dynamic interest rate exposures than those apparent in standard gap analysis.
The Company manages the balance between rate-sensitive assets and rate-sensitive liabilities being repriced in any given period with the objective of stabilizing net interest income during periods of fluctuating interest rates. Rate-sensitive assets either contain a provision to adjust the interest rate periodically or mature within one year. Those assets include certain loans, certain investment securities and federal funds sold. Rate-sensitive liabilities allow for periodic interest rate changes and include time certificates, certain savings and interest-bearing demand deposits. The difference between the aggregate amount of assets and liabilities that are repricing at various time frames is called the interest rate sensitivity “gap.” Generally, if repricing assets exceed repricing liabilities in any given time period, the Company would be deemed to be “asset-sensitive” for that period, and if repricing liabilities exceed repricing assets in any given period, the Company would be deemed to be “liability-sensitive” for that period. The Company seeks to maintain a balanced position over the period of one year in which it has no significant asset or liability sensitivity, to ensure net interest margin stability in times of volatile interest rates. This is accomplished by maintaining a significant level of loans and deposits available for repricing within one year.
The Company is generally asset sensitive, meaning that net interest income tends to rise as interest rates rise and decline as interest rates fall. At June 30, 2009, approximately 87.2% of loans have terms that incorporate variable interest rates. Most variable rate loans are indexed to the Bank’s prime rate and changes occur as the prime rate changes. Approximately 20.2% of all fixed rate loans at June 30, 2009 mature within twelve months.
Regarding the investment portfolio, a preponderance of the portfolio consists of fixed rate products with typical average lives of between three and five years. The mortgage-backed security portfolio receives monthly principal repayments which has the effect of reducing the securities average lives as principal repayments levels may exceed expected levels. Additionally, agency securities contain options by the agency to call the security, which would cause repayment prior to scheduled maturity.
Liability costs are generally based upon, but not limited to, U.S. Treasury interest rates and movements and rates paid by local competitors for similar products.
The change in net interest income may not always follow the general expectations of an “asset-sensitive” or “liability-sensitive” balance sheet during periods of changing interest rates. This possibility results from interest rates earned or paid changing by differing increments and at different time intervals for each type of interest- sensitive asset and liability. The interest rate gaps reported arise when assets are funded with liabilities having different repricing intervals. Since these gaps are actively managed and change daily as adjustments are made in interest rate views and market outlook, positions at the end of any period may not reflect the Companys interest rate sensitivity in subsequent periods.

The Company uses Risk Monitor software for asset/liability management in order to simulate the effects of potential interest rate changes on the Companys net interest margin. These simulations provide static information on the projected fair market value of the Companys financial instruments under differing interest rate assumptions. The simulation program utilizes specific loan and deposit maturities, embedded options, rates and re-pricing characteristics to determine the effects of a given interest rate change on the Companys interest income and interest expense. Rate scenarios consisting of key rate and yield curve projections are run against the Companys investment, loan, deposit and borrowed funds portfolios. The rate projections can be shocked (an immediate and sustained change in rates, up or down). The Company typically uses standard interest rate scenarios in conducting the simulation of upward and downward shocks of 100 and 200 basis points (bp). As of June 30, 2009, there has been no material change in interest rate risk since December 31, 2008.
Risk Management
Various types of risk are inherent in the business of banking. Federal regulators have adopted examination guidelines that scrutinize not only the Companys level of risk, but also its ability to manage and control that risk. Regulators evaluate risks that affect capital, liquidity, and compliance to determine their potential effect on the safety and soundness of the Company. Certain risks may be covered by insurance coverage, but management must establish a risk management approach that addresses all areas of risk.
The Company has in place acceptable limits for each of the risks identified by the regulatory environment. The Company has defined the types of risk, and has mechanisms in place to manage, monitor, and report these risks. Specifically, the Company focuses on various risk categories within each area of the Company. Those categories include: credit risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk, market/strategic risk, transaction risk, and compliance risk.

Stock Repurchases
On February 19, 2009, the Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program pursuant to which the Company may purchase up to $200,000 worth of its common stock in open market transactions or in privately negotiated transactions. The repurchase program was approved for a period of up to 12 months commencing February 20, 2009.
From the commencement of the Stock Repurchase Program on February 20, 2009 through June 30, 2009, the Company has acquired and retired 14,535 of its shares at a weighted average price of $9.96 per share. The Repurchase Program is designed to improve the Company's return on equity and earnings per share, and to provide an additional outlet for shareholders interested in selling their shares. Repurchases pursuant to the program are made at the prevailing market prices from time to time in open market transactions or in privately negotiated transactions. The timing of the purchases and the number of shares to be repurchased at any given time will depend on market conditions and SEC regulations.
