The Companys 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 Companys 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 Companys 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 Companys ability to maintain favorable risk-based capital ratios. Pursuant to the Accounting Standards codification 810, Consolidation, Chino Statutory Trust I is not reflected on a consolidated basis in the consolidated financial statements of the Company.
The Companys 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 three full-service banking offices. The Banks 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 and on April 5, 2010 the Bank opened its Rancho Cucamonga branch located at 8229 Rochester Avenue, Rancho Cucamonga, 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.
On July 2, 2010, the Company acquired property at 14245 Pipeline Avenue, Chino, California for $2.2 million to be used as its main branch and administrative offices. The renovations are estimated to be completed by November 1, 2010, at which time the Bank will move from an approximately 6,950 square feet leased building to a permanent location with approximately 17,600 square feet.
Note 2 Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 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, which is unaudited, should be read in conjunction with the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
Note 3 Critical Accounting Policies:
7
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 Companys financial statements and accompanying notes. Management believes that the judgments, estimates and assumptions used in preparation of the Companys financial statements are appropriate given the factual circumstances as of June 30, 2010.
Various elements of the Companys 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 Companys results of operation. In particular, management has identified one accounting policy that is critical to an understanding of the Companys financial statements due to judgments, estimates and assumptions inherent in this policy, and the sensitivity of the Companys financial statements to those judgments, estimates and assumptions. This policy relates to the methodology that determines the Companys allowance for loan losses. Management has discussed the development and selection of this critical accounting policy with the Companys Audit Committee of the Board of Directors. Although Management believes the level of the allowance at June 30, 2010 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, 2010 and December 31, 2009 Allowance for Loan Losses included elsewhere herein.
Note 4 Recent Accounting Pronouncements:
In August 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2009-05, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820) Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value. This ASU provides amendments for fair value measurements of liabilities. It provides clarification that in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, a reporting entity is required to measure fair value using one or more techniques. ASU 2009-05 also clarifies that when estimating a fair value of a liability, a reporting entity is not required to include a separate input or adjustment to other inputs relating to the existence of a restriction that prevents the transfer of the liability. ASU 2009-05 is effective for the periods beginning after October 1, 2009. The adoption of ASU 2009-05 did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements. ASU 2010-06 revises two disclosure requirements concerning fair value measurements and clarifies two others. It requires separate presentation of significant transfers into and out of Levels 1 and 2 of the fair value hierarchy and disclosure of the reasons for such transfers. It will also require the presentation of purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements within Level 3 on a gross basis rather than a net basis. The amendments also clarify that disclosures should be disaggregated by class of asset or liability and that disclosures about inputs and valuation techniques should be provided for both recurring and non-recurring fair value measurements. These new disclosure requirements became effective on January 1, 2010, except for the requirement concerning gross presentation of Level 3 activity, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010. There was no significant effect to the Companys financial statement disclosure upon adoption of this ASU.
In June 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-16 (formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 166), Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140. ASU 2009-16 amends the de-recognition accounting and disclosure guidance relating to SFAS No. 140. ASU 2009-16 eliminates the exemption from consolidation for qualifying special purpose entities (QSPEs), and requires a transferor to evaluate all existing QSPEs to determine whether they must be consolidated in accordance with ASU 2009-16. It also amends the sale recognition rules for sales of participating interests in loans. ASU 2009-16 is effective as of the beginning of the first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009. The adoption of ASU 2009-16 on January 1, 2010 did not have a significant impact on the Companys financial condition, results of operations, or disclosures.
In June 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-17 (formerly SFAS No. 167), Improvements to Financial Reporting by Enterprises Involved with Variable Interest Entities. This Statement amends ASC Topic 810, Consolidation 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, which became effective for the Company on January 1, 2010, did not have an impact on its consolidated financial statements as the Company has no interests in any variable interest entities.
8
In February 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-09, Subsequent Events (Topic 855): Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements. The amendments remove the requirement for an SEC registrant to disclose the date through which subsequent events were evaluated, as this requirement would have potentially conflicted with SEC reporting requirements. Removal of the disclosure requirement did not have an effect on the nature or timing of subsequent events evaluations performed by the Company. ASU 2010-09 became effective upon issuance.

Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market concerns warrant such evaluation. Consideration is given to (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (3) the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.
At June 30, 2010, three securities have unrealized losses with aggregate depreciation of 0.6% from the Companys amortized cost basis. These unrealized losses relate to mortgage-backed securities issued by federally sponsored agencies, which are fully secured by conforming residential loans. Since the Company has the ability to hold these securities until estimated maturity, no declines are deemed to be other than temporary.
Note 6 Subordinated Notes Payable to Subsidiary Trust
On October 25, 2006, Chino Statutory Trust I (the Trust), a newly formed Connecticut statutory business trust and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, issued an aggregate of $3.0 million of principal amount of Capital Securities (the Trust Preferred Securities) and $93,000 in Common Securities. Cohen & Company acted as placement agent in connection with the offering of the Trust Preferred Securities. The securities issued by the Trust are fully guaranteed by the Company with respect to distributions and amounts payable upon liquidation, redemption or repayment. The entire proceeds to the Trust from the sale of the Trust Preferred Securities were used by the Trust to purchase $3,000,000 in principal amount of the Junior Subordinated Deferrable Interest Debentures due December 15, 2036 issued by the Company (the Subordinated Debt Securities). The Company issued an additional $93,000 in principal amount of the Junior Subordinated Deferrable Interest Debentures due December 15, 2036, in exchange for its investment in the Trusts Common Securities.
The Subordinated Debt Securities bear interest at 6.795% for the first five years from October 27, 2006 to December 15, 2011 and at a variable interest rate to be adjusted quarterly equal to LIBOR (0.534% at June 30, 2010) plus 1.68% thereafter. During 2006 and 2007 the Company used approximately $522,000 and $2,478,000, respectively, from the proceeds of $3.0 million to repurchase and retire Company stock. There was no cost to the Trust associated with the issuance.
As of June 30, 2010 and 2009, accrued interest payable to the Trust amounted to $8,494. Interest expense for Trust Preferred Securities amounted to $50,963 for each of the quarters ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 and $101,925 for each of the half years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009.
Note 7 Stock Based Compensation
Under the Companys 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, 2010 and 2009, 108,405 shares were available for the grant of options. At June 30, 2010 and 2009, options covering 14,853 and 97,394 shares, respectively, were outstanding. 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. Compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions is recognized in the financial statements over the vesting period of the options.
The most recent grant of options occurred in 2003. Thus, there was no stock-based compensation expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009.
Note 8 - Earnings per share (EPS)
10
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 weighted-average number of shares used in computing basic and diluted earnings per share is as follows:

Note 9 - 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 Companys 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, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Company had $5.2 million and $3.8 million, respectively, of off-balance sheet commitments to extend credit. These commitments represent a credit risk to the Company. At June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Company had no unadvanced standby letters of credit.
11
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 customers 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 managements 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.
Note10 Fair Value Measurement
Accounting Standards Codification 820, Fair Value Measurements (ASC 820), 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 - inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
· Level 2 - inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
· Level 3 - inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.
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:
Securities available for sale
Where quoted prices are available for identical assets in an active market, securities are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. Level 1 securities would include highly liquid government bonds, mortgage products and exchange traded equities. If quoted market prices are not available, securities are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy and fair values are estimated by using pricing models, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics, or discounted cash flow. Level 2 securities would include U.S. agency securities, mortgage-backed agency securities, obligations of states and political subdivisions and certain corporate, asset backed and other securities. In certain cases where there is limited activity or less transparency around inputs to the valuation, securities are classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. Currently, all of the Companys securities available for sale are considered to be Level 2 securities.
The following table presents the balances of financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2010.

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. In order to determine fair value, management obtains quotes or bids on all or part of these loans directly from the purchasing financial institutions. At June 30, 2010, there were no loans held for sale.
Impaired loans
Collateral-dependent impaired loans are carried at the fair value of the collateral less estimated costs to sell. The fair value of collateral is determined based on appraisals. In some cases, adjustments were made to the appraised values for various factors including age of the appraisal, age of comparables included in the appraisal, and known changes in the market and in the collateral. When significant adjustments were based on unobservable inputs, the resulting fair value measurement has been categorized as a Level 3 measurement. Otherwise, collateral-dependent impaired loans are categorized under Level 2.
Impaired loans that are not collateral dependent are carried at the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loans effective interest rate. Troubled debt restructurings are also carried at the present value of expected future cash flows. However, expected cash flows for troubled debt restructurings are discounted using the loans original effective interest rate rather than the modified interest rate. Since fair value of these loans is based on managements own projection of future cash flows, the fair value measurements are categorized as Level 3 measurements.
The following presents impaired loans measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis as of June 30, 2010.

Other Real Estate Owned
Real estate acquired through foreclosure or other proceedings (other real estate owned) is initially recorded at fair value at the date of foreclosure less estimated costs of disposal, which establishes a new cost. After foreclosure, valuations are periodically performed, and foreclosed assets held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or fair value, less estimated costs of disposal. The fair values of real properties initially are determined based on appraisals. In some cases, adjustments were made to the appraised values for various factors including age of the appraisal, age of comparables included in the appraisal, and known changes in the market or in the collateral. Subsequent valuations of the real properties are based on management estimates or on updated appraisals. Other real estate owned is categorized under Level 3 when significant adjustments are made by management to appraised values based on unobservable inputs. Otherwise, Other real estate owned is categorized under Level 2 if their values are based solely on appraisals.
The following table summarizes the Companys OREO that was measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis during the period.

ASC 825, Financial Instruments, requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not the financial instruments are recognized in the balance sheet at fair value or historical cost. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques.
Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. In that regard, the derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, could not be realized in immediate settlement of the instruments. ASC 825 excludes certain financial instruments and all nonfinancial instruments from its disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented do not represent the underlying value of the Company.
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments. For cash and cash equivalents, Federal Home Loan Bank stock, loans held for sale, variable-rate loans, accrued interest receivable and payable, demand deposits and savings, and short-term borrowings, the carrying amount is estimated to be fair value. For securities, fair values are based on quoted market prices, where available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based in quoted market prices of comparable instruments. The fair values for fixed-rate loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms. The fair value of life insurance is based on the cash surrender value, as determined by the insurer. Fair values for deposit liabilities with a stated maturity date (time deposits) and for certificates of deposit in other banks are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on these accounts to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits. The fair value of long-term debt is determined utilizing the current market for like-kind instruments of a similar maturity and structure. The fair value of financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk is not considered to be material, so they are not included in the following table:

Overview of the Results of Operations and Financial Condition
Results of Operations Summary
Second quarter 2010 compared to second quarter 2009
Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2010 was $14,193 compared with $73,529 for the quarter ended June 30, 2009, a decline of 80.7%. Basic and diluted earnings per share for the second quarter of 2010 were $0.02, compared to $0.10 for the second quarter of 2009. The Companys annualized return on average equity was 0.88% and annualized return on average assets was 0.05% for the quarter ended June 30, 2010, compared to a return on average equity of 4.76% and a return on assets of 0.32% for same quarter in 2009. The primary reasons for the change in net income during the second quarter of 2010 are as follows:
· The provision for loan losses increased to $250,667 during the second quarter of 2010, an increase of $122,937 or 96.2%, as compared to $127,730 for the three months ended June 30, 2009. Net loan charge- offs increased $331,790 for the relative periods. The increase in the provision was also related to an increase in nonperforming loans from zero at June 30, 2009 to $2.3 million at June 30, 2010 (see Non-Performing Assets, below).
· Net interest income increased $82,977, or 9.3%, due principally to increases in average balances in investment securities and loans. The net interest margin declined from 4.39% to 3.88%, due principally to a drop in the interest rates on interest earning assets and an increase in the ratio of interest bearing deposits to total deposits.
· Total non-interest income increased 66,221, or 20.8%, due primarily to increased service charges on deposit accounts. This increase was caused by an increase in the volume of deposit transactions subject to analysis charges and returned item charges.
15
· Salaries and employee benefits increased $126,648, or 28.5%, to $570,428 for the second quarter of 2010 compared to the same period of 2009 due principally to an increase in staff for the new Rancho Cucamonga branch. Capitalized loan costs decreased $13,000 from a $40,000 salary reduction in 2009 to a $27,000 salary reduction for the second quarter of 2010.
· Regulatory assessments decreased in the second quarter of 2010 by $37,137 compared to the second quarter of 2009. The substantial decrease was predominately due to a one-time special FDIC assessment, which on a pre-tax basis was approximately $42,000 in the second quarter of 2009.
First half of 2010 compared to the first half of 2009
Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was $55,478 compared with $192,798 for the first six months of 2009, a decrease of 71.2%. Basic and diluted earnings per share for the six months ended June 30, 2010 were $0.08, compared to $0.27 and $0.26, respectively, for the same period in 2009. Annualized return on average equity was 1.72% and a return on assets of 0.10%, compared to a return on equity of 6.23% and a return on assets of 0.44% for the same period in 2009. The primary reasons for the change in net income during the first half of 2010 are as follows:
· The provisions for loan losses increased $370,471 or 257.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2010. As a result, the allowance for loan losses was 2.19% of total loans at June 30, 2010 compared to 1.48% at June 30, 2009 and 2.08% at December 31, 2009. Net loan charge- offs increased $479,108 for the relative periods. The increase in the provision was also related to an increase in nonperforming loans from zero at June 30, 2009 to $2.3 million at June 30, 2010 (see Non Performing Assets, below).
· Net interest income increased $213,411, or 12.4%, from $1.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 to $1.9 million for the same period in 2010. The net interest margin declined from 4.42% to 3.94%, due principally to a drop in the interest rates on interest earning assets and an increase in interest bearing deposits to total deposits.
· Total non-interest income increased $112,601, or 22.5%, to $612,762 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $500,161 for the same period in 2009. The main contributor to the increase was service charge income which increased by $105,303 or 23.1% for the first half of 2010, due to an increase in volume of deposit transactions subject to analysis charges and returned item charges.
· For the six months ended June 30, 2010 salaries and benefits increased $161,975 or 17.4% as compared with the first half of 2009. This was due to primarily to an increase in staff from 25 to 31 full-time equivalent employees which was necessary to staff and support the new Rancho Cucamonga branch
· Occupancy and equipment and data and item processing expenses increased 22.5% and 21.2%, respectively, comparing six months ended June 30, 2010 with the same period in the prior year due to the opening of the Rancho Cucamonga branch. Occupancy and equipment was $191,470 for the first half of 2010 compared to $156,283 in the first half of 2009. Data and item processing expenses increased from $141,766 in the first half of 2009 to $171,840 in the first half of 2010
Financial Condition Summary
The Companys total assets were $113.5 million at June 30, 2010, a growth of $9.9 million, or 9.6% as compared to total assets of $103.6 million at December 31, 2009. The most significant changes in the Companys balance sheet during the six months ended June 30, 2010 are outlined below:
· Total deposits increased from $92.3 million on December 31, 2009 to $102.8 million on June 30, 2010, an 11.4% increase.
· Total non-interest bearing deposits increased from $35.9 million at December 31, 2009 to $39.7 million at June 30, 2010, a 10.7% increase. Non-interest bearing deposits to total deposits declined marginally from 38.9% at December 31, 2009 to 38.6% at June 30, 2010 as the Company continues to focus on attracting new customers to diversify its deposit base through competitive rates on interest-bearing deposit accounts.
· The Company experienced an increase in interest-earning assets of $3.3 million or 3.5% to $98.0 million in the first half of 2010. Gross loans declined from $61.4 million to $60.2 million, a 2.0% decrease, while total investments increased 13.86% to $37.9 million in the first half of 2010.
· Nonperforming assets were comprised of one OREO property totaling $572,734 and two loans on non-accrual totaling $841,568, and two restructured loans totaling $1.4 million that are also on nonaccrual for a total of $2.9 million in nonperforming assets at June 30, 2010, as compared to one OREO property totaling $24,861 and five loans totaling $1.5 million, for a total of $1.5 million at December 31, 2009.

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 Companys non-interest expenses are operating costs that relate to providing a full range of banking services to the Banks customers.
Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin
For the second quarter, net interest income increased $82,977, or 9.3%, to $977,310 in 2010 from $894,333 in 2009. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, net interest income increased $213,441, or 12.4%, to $1.9 million in 2010 from $1.7 million in 2009. 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 Companys 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 Companys 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, 2010 and 2009. 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 $6,200 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to $23,300 for the six months ended June 30, 2009. 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 positively impacted net interest income by $121,000 in the second quarter of 2010 relative to the same period of 2009, while the rate variance negatively impacted net interest income by $37,000 in the same comparative periods.
The Companys net interest income for the second quarter of 2010 was $977,316 compared to $894,333 in the second quarter of 2009, an increase of $82,977, or 9.3%. The net interest margin decreased to 3.88% for the three months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to 4.39% for the same period in 2009 due principally to declining yields on loans and investments.
Average loans increased $7.6 million or 14.3% for the second quarter of 2010 compared with the same period of 2009. Interest and fee income on loans increased $66,340. The increase in average loans resulted in approximately $133,000 increase in interest income from loans, while the decrease in interest rate resulted in approximately $67,000 decrease in income. The average yield on loans declined from 7.33% for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 to 6.85% for the quarter ended June 30, 2010.
Income from investment securities and due from banks for the quarter ended June 30, 2010 increased by $27,475 in comparison to the quarter ended June 30, 2009. 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 $11.8 million or 41.4%. The growth in average investment securities and due from banks time balances caused an increase of interest income of approximately $71,000, while the rate decrease caused a decline in interest income of approximately $43,000 from investment securities and due from banks time for the second quarter of 2010 as compared to the same
quarter in 2009. The average yield for investment securities and due from banks time declined from 2.88% for the three months ended June 30, 2009 to 2.32% for the same period in 2010.
20
Average interest-bearing liabilities increased $18.5 million in the second quarter of 2010 as compared to the second quarter of 2009. 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 an $83,000 increase in interest expense which was offset by a decrease of approximately $73,000 due to a decrease in rates in the second quarter of 2010 as compared to the second quarter of 2009.
Pure volume variances positively impacted net interest income by approximately $300,000 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2010 relative to the same period of 2009, while the rate variance negatively impacted net interest income by approximately $87,000 in the same comparative periods.
Interest income increased $231,441 or 12.4% in the six month period ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same period of 2009, while interest expense increased $16,718 or 2.9%. Interest and fee income from loans increased during the six months ended June 30, 2010 by $251,430, or 13.5% from $1,864,013 for the same period in 2009 due to an increase in average loan balances.
The average balance of investment securities and due from banks time deposits increased due to growth in average deposits. The most significant increase was in due from banks time deposits, which experienced a positive volume variance of approximately $72,000 and a negative rate variance of $102,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009. Interest income from investment securities and due from banks time decreased $21,215 or 5.0% to $400,390 for the six ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same period of 2009 due to a decline in yields.
Interest expense on deposits increased $16,870, or 3.6% to $483,265 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same period of 2009. Average interest bearing deposits to average total deposits increased from 55.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2009 to 61.2% for the same period in 2010 as new and existing deposits continue to migrate to higher yielding accounts.
The Companys net interest margin declined from 4.42% to 3.94%, for the six months ended June 30, 2010 versus 2009 due principally to a drop in interest rates and an increase in the average balance of interest bearing time deposits.
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 $514,352 to the allowance for loan losses during the first half of 2010, a 257.5% increase over the same period during 2009. The Company made the significant provision to the allowance for loan losses during the first half of 2010, due to an increase in nonperforming loans from zero at June 30, 2009 to $2.3 at June 30, 2010, and an increase in net charge offs from zero for the six months ended June 30, 2009 to $478,906 for the six months ended June 30, 2010.
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
21
Non-interest income was $318,929 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to $252,708 for the three months ended June 30, 2009, a 26.2% increase. For the first half of 2010, non-interest income increased 22.5% to $612,762 compared to $500,161 for the same period in 2009. The increases were due primarily to the increase was service charge income which was caused by an increase in the volume of deposit transactions subject to analysis charges and returned item charges. Total annualized non-interest income as a percentage of average earning assets increased to 1.3% and 1.2% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively, compared to 1.2% and 1.3% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively.

Other miscellaneous income, which includes gains and losses from OREO, increased $11,289 in the second quarter and $7,770 in the first half of 2010, compared to the second quarter and first half of 2009, 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 2010.
Dividend income from restricted stock increased $3,667 in the second quarter but decreased $1,358 in the first half of 2010 in comparison to the same periods in 2009, resulting from an accrual reversal of $8,500 for stock dividends receivable from the FHLB in 2009 and a reversal in stock dividends receivable of $3,720 from Pacific Coast Bankers Bank in the second quarter of 2010.
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 cashiers 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 increased $50,624 or 20.8% to $294,500 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and increased $105,303 or 23.1% to $562,140 for the six months period ended June 30, 2010. The increase was primarily attributable to increased 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 4.1% from 4.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to three months ended June 30, 2009. For the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, these percentages were 4.0% and 4.6%, respectively. Total annualized non-interest expense as a percentage of average assets decreased due to the increase in average earning assets.
The overhead efficiency ratio represents total operating expense divided by the sum of net interest and non-interest income, with the provision for loan losses, investment gains/losses, and other extraordinary gains/losses excluded from the equation. Because the percentage increase in net interest plus other income was smaller than the increase in total non-interest expense, the Companys overhead efficiency ratio increased to 80.6% for the second quarter of 2010 from 79.7% for the second quarter of 2009. The efficiency ratio decreased in the most recent six month period to 77.6%, compared to 80.5% for the same period in 2009 due to percentage increase in net interest plus other income was larger than the increase in total non-interest expense.
Non-interest expenses were $1,045,117 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to $914,067 for the three months ended June 30, 2009, a 14.3% increase. Non-interest expenses increased $189,400 to $1,974,043 for the first half of 2010 compared to the same period in 2009. The largest component of non-interest expense was salaries and benefits expense of $570,428 for the second quarter and $1,094,450 for the first half of 2010 compared to $443,780 and $932,475 for the same periods in 2009, representing 28.5% and 17.4% increases, respectively.
Other components of non-interest expense that affected the increase were occupancy and equipment expenses which increased $26,950 and $35,187, respectively, for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same periods in 2009, due in the opening of the Rancho Cucamonga Branch in April 2010. Data and item processing expenses also increased due to the additional branch by $23,515, or 34.4% for the comparable three month and $30,074, or 21.2% for the comparable six month periods. Legal and other professional fees decreased
12.6% and 6.4% or $5,693 and $5,742, respectively, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same periods in 2009.

Regulatory assessments expense decreased $37,137 or 40.9% in the second quarter of 2010 versus 2009 and $12,973 or 10.9% in the first half of 2010 versus 2009. The decrease was predominately due to a one-time special FDIC assessment, which on a pre-tax basis was approximately $42,000 that was incurred in the second quarter of 2009 and not repeated in 2010.
Provision for Income Taxes
Income tax benefits of $13,738 and $1,037 were recorded for the second quarter and the six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively, representing approximately -3,019.3% and -1.9% of pre-tax income for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively. In comparison, income tax expenses of $31,715 and $95,472 were recorded for the second quarter and the six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively, representing approximately 30.1% and 33.1% of pre-tax income. The amount of the tax provision is determined by applying the Companys 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.

Total assets increased from $103.6 million to $113.5 million or 9.6% between December 31, 2009 and June 30, 2010, resulting from an increase in deposit balances of $10.5 million. Although approximately 12% and 14% of the deposits at December 31, 2009 and June 30, 2010, respectively, are related to a number of the Companys customers that are engaged in real estate related activities, the Companys growth in deposits was primarily from other companies and individuals not related to the real estate related industry. The Company continues to actively seek to develop alternative and supplemental business relationships with other companies and individuals in an effort to diversify its deposit base and more fully leverage the Companys capital.
Investment securities increased $11.5 million or 146.7% between December 31 2009 and June 30, 2010. The Company purchased $12.5 million of FNMA securities in April, 2010, replacing $6.9 million in lower yielding interest-bearing deposits in other banks and using cash from increased deposits. Gross loans declined $1.3 million, or 2.0%, to $60.2 million between December 31, 2009 and June 30, 2010.
Loan Portfolio
During the six months ended June 30, 2010, the Companys loan portfolio, net of unearned loan fees, declined by $1.3 million, or 2.0%, to $60.1 million at June 30, 2010. The Company experienced declines in real estate secured loans and installment loans, while experiencing increases in commercial loans. The largest loan category at June 30, 2010 was real estate loans, which consist of commercial, and consumer real estate loans excluding construction loans. This constitutes 82.3% 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 in the portfolio. The next largest loan concentration at June 30, 2010 was commercial loans constituting 16.6% of the loan portfolio. The composition of the Companys loan portfolio at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 is set forth below:

The weighted average yield on the loan portfolio for the six months and quarter ended June 30, 2010 was 6.98% and 6.85%, 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, 2010 approximately 67.0% of loans were variable rate loans tied to adjustable rate indices such as Prime Rate. Approximately 77.4% of the variable rate loans have interest-rate floors with a weighted average yield of 7.35%.
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, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Company had $5.2 million and $3.8 million, respectively, 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, 2010 and at December 31, 2009, the Company had no unadvanced letters of credit.
The effect on the Companys 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
Nonperforming assets are comprised of loans for which the Company is no longer accruing interest and foreclosed assets, including other real estate owned. OREO consists of properties acquired by foreclosure or similar means that management is offering or will offer for sale. Nonperforming loans result when reasonable doubt exists with regard to the ability of the Company to collect all principal and interest on a loan or lease. At that point, we stop accruing interest on the loan in question, reverse any previously-recognized interest to the extent that it is uncollected or associated with interest-reserve loans. Any asset for which principal or interest has been in default for a period of 90 days or more is also placed on non-accrual status, even if interest is still being received, unless the asset is both well secured and in the process of collection. Any loans where serious doubt exists with regard to the ability of borrowers to comply with repayment terms are classified as nonperforming assets and are considered to be impaired. If the Bank grants a concession to a borrower in financial difficulty, the loan falls into the category of a troubled debt restructure (TDR). TDRs are also deemed to be impaired loans, and are further classified as either nonperforming or performing loans depending on their accrual status. The following table presents comparative data for the Companys nonperforming assets.

1Additional interest income of approximately $46,200, $16,800, and $0 respectively, would have been recorded for the periods ended June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 if the loans had been paid or accrued in accordance with original terms. |

2TDRs 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, 2010 the Company had one foreclosed property (OREO) which is a commercial property, two loans on non-accrual status, and two restructured loans also on nonaccrual status. The Companys nonperforming assets at June 30, 2010 were 2.33% of total loans and OREO compared to 2.47% at December 31, 2009. At December 31, 2009, the Company had one foreclosed property consisting of one remaining residential unit and five loans on non-accrual.
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 Companys 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.
26
Allowance factors are utilized in the analysis of the allowance for loan losses. Allowance factors ranging from 0.1% to 3.07% are applied to disbursed loans that are unclassified and uncriticized. Allowance factors averaging approximately 0.03% 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 $1,312,972 at June 30, 2010, $1,277,526 at December 31, 2009, and $846,492 at June 30, 2009. The ratios of the allowance for loan losses to total loans at June 30, 2010, December 31, 2009, and June 30, 2009 were 2.18%, 2.08%, and 1.48% respectively.
The table below summarizes, as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 and the year ended December 31, 2009, 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, 2010 was adequate, there can be no assurances that future economic or other factors will not adversely affect the Companys borrowers, or that the Companys 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 Companys investment portfolio at June 30, 2010 was $19.6 million having a tax equivalent yield of 3.56%. This compares to an investment portfolio of $7.9 million at December 31, 2009 having a 4.32% tax equivalent yield. The primary category of investment in the portfolio at June 30, 2010 was mortgage-backed securities. In the second quarter of 2010, the Company purchased one Federal agency and four mortgage-backed securities at $2.5 million each. At June 30, 2010, approximately 10% 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.

There were no material changes since December 31, 2009 in the maturities or repricing of the investment securities.
Deposits
Total deposits increased $10.5 million or 11.4% to $102.8 million at June 30, 2010 from $92.3 million at December 31, 2009 due to the increase in interest-bearing deposit balances and demand deposits. Interest-bearing deposits increased $6.7 million or 11.8% to $63.1 million at June 30, 2010 from $56.4 million at December 31, 2009. Demand deposits increased $3.8 million or 10.7% to $39.7 million at June 30, 2010 from $35.9 million at December 31, 2009. The ratio of non-interest bearing funds to total deposits was 38.6% at June 30, 2010 and 38.9% at December 31, 2009.
A comparative distribution of the Companys deposits at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, by outstanding balance as well as by percentage of total deposits, is presented in the following table:

Deposits are the Companys primary source of funds. As the Companys 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, 2010 and 2009 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, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Company had deposits from related parties representing 5.4% and 5.5% of total deposits of the Company, respectively. Further, at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, deposits from escrow companies represented 13.7% and 12.0% of the Companys total deposits, respectively. There are some escrow company deposits which are also classified as deposits from related parties.
Borrowings
At June 30, 2010 the Company had no FHLB advances or overnight borrowings outstanding, as compared to $994,000 of FHLB borrowings outstanding at December 31, 2009. 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 $6.8 million at June 30, 2010 and $6.5 million at December 31, 2009. There was an overall increase of $353,068 due to the following transactions: A decrease resulted from stock repurchases totaling $431,037 under the Companys stock repurchase program. The total shares repurchased during the first half of 2010 were 29,712. Options exercised increased stockholders equity by $733,195, including the tax benefit of $172,927, while increasing outstanding stock by 82,541 shares. Net income increased retained earnings by $55,478. The change in the unrealized loss on investment securities decreased equity by $4,568 during the first half of 2010.
Liquidity
Maintenance of adequate liquidity requires that sufficient resources be available at all times to meet the Companys 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 Companys 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, 2010, the Companys liquid assets totaled approximately $31.2 million and its liquidity level, measured as the percentage of liquid assets to total assets, was 27.5%. At December 31, 2009, the Companys liquid assets totaled approximately $34.1 million and its liquidity level, measured as the percentage of liquid assets to total assets, was 32.9%. Management anticipates that
liquid assets and the liquidity level will decline as the Company becomes more leveraged in the future. The Companys current policy is to maintain a minimum liquidity ratio of 8%.
29
Although the Companys primary sources of liquidity include liquid assets and a stable deposit base, the Company has Fed funds lines of credit of $3.5 million at Union Bank of California and $3.5 million at Pacific Coast Bankers Bank. In addition, as a member of the FHLB, the Bank may borrow funds collateralized by the Banks securities or qualified loans up to 25% of its eligible total asset base, or $27.7 million at June 30, 2010.
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 Banks 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 Banks assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accepted accounting practices. The Banks 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 discussed in Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements herein, the Companys subordinated note represents a $3.1 million borrowing 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. $2.2 million of the Companys subordinated note was included in Tier 1 capital at June 30, 2010 and the remainder was included in Tier 2 capital.
The Bank had Total Risk-Based and Tier 1 Risk-Based capital ratios of 13.75% and 12.49%, respectively at June 30, 2010, as compared to 14.01% and 12.75%, respectively at December 31, 2009. At June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Banks Leverage Capital Ratios were 8.31% and 8.94%, respectively. As of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, 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 Boards 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 Banks capital adequacy guidelines, the Company still maintains levels of capital on a consolidated basis which qualify it as well capitalized. As of June 30, 2010, the Companys Total Risk-Based and Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital ratios were 14.30% and 11.92%, respectively, and its Leverage Capital ratio was 7.94%.
The following table sets forth the Companys and the Banks regulatory capital ratios as of the dates indicated:

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 Companys 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 repricing gap analyses.
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, in most cases, net interest income tends to rise as interest rates rise and decline as interest rates fall. However, as explained further on, declines in interest rates would cause a slight increase in net interest income because over 75% of the Companys variable rate loans are at their floor with a weighted average yield of 7.2%. At June 30, 2010, approximately 67.3% of loans have terms that incorporate variable interest rates. Most variable rate loans are indexed to the Banks prime rate and changes occur as the prime rate changes. Approximately 12.6% of all fixed rate loans at June 30, 2010 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 repayment 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.
31
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 attempts to balance longer-term economic views against prospects for short-term interest rate changes in all repricing intervals. As of June 30, 2010, the Company had the following estimated net interest income sensitivity profile:

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). As of June 30, 2010, there has been no material change in interest rate risk since December 31, 2009.
If rates were at higher levels, we would likely see minimal fluctuations in either declining or rising rate scenarios. However, net interest income increases slightly as rates decline because over 75% of the Companys variable rate loans are at their floor with a weighted average yield of 7.2%. Rates will continue to slowly decrease in deposits while a majority of the loan portfolio will remain at its floor. Prepayments on fixed-rate loans tend to increase as rates decline, although our model assumptions for declining rate scenarios include a presumed floor for the Banks prime lending rate that partially offsets other negative pressures.
The economic (or fair) value of financial instruments on the Companys balance sheet will also vary under the interest rate scenarios previously discussed. This is measured by simulating changes in the Companys economic value of equity (EVE), which is calculated by subtracting the estimated fair value of liabilities from the estimated fair value of assets. Fair values for financial instruments are estimated by discounting projected cash flows (principal and interest) at current replacement rates for each account type, while the fair value of non-financial accounts is assumed to equal book value and does not vary with interest rate fluctuations. An economic value simulation is a static measure for balance sheet accounts at a given point in time, but this measurement can change substantially over time as the characteristics of the Companys balance sheet evolve and as interest rate and yield curve assumptions are updated.
The amount of change in economic value under different interest rate scenarios depends on the characteristics of each class of financial instrument, including the stated interest rate or spread relative to current market rates or spreads, the likelihood of prepayment, whether the rate is fixed or floating, and the maturity date of the instrument. As a general rule, fixed-rate financial assets become more valuable in declining rate scenarios and less valuable in rising rate scenarios, while fixed-rate financial liabilities gain in value as interest rates rise and lose value as interest rates decline. The longer the duration of the financial instrument, the greater the impact a rate change will have on its value. In our economic value simulations, estimated prepayments are factored in for financial instruments with stated maturity dates, and decay rates for non-maturity deposits are projected based on managements best estimates. We have found that model results are highly sensitive to changes in the assumed decay rate for non-maturity
deposits, in particular. If a higher deposit decay rate is used the decline in EVE becomes more severe, while the slope of the EVE simulations conforms more closely to that of our net interest income simulations if non-maturity deposits do not run off. This is because our net interest income simulations incorporate growth rather than runoff for aggregate non-maturity deposits.

The table shows a substantial increase in EVE as interest rates decline, and a corresponding decline as interest rates increase. Changes in EVE under varying interest rate scenarios are substantially different than changes in the Companys net interest income simulations, due primarily to runoff assumptions in non-maturity deposits.

Stock Repurchases
On January 18, 2010, the Board of Directors authorized an extension and expansion of its current stock repurchase program (the Repurchase Program). Under this expansion, a total of $200,000 in repurchases of the Companys common stock has been approved, and the expiration date of the Repurchase program has been extended from February 20, 2010 to February 18, 2011. This expansion was effective as of January 18, 2010. On May 20,2010, the Board of Directors approved an additional $400,000 to be used for repurchases of the Companys common stock.
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. The following table provides information concerning the Companys repurchases of its common stock during the second quarter of 2010:

*Includes 2,149 and 2,119 shares which were repurchased in June 2010 from Linda Cooper and Jeanette Young, respectively, both of whom are directors of the Bank and the Company, in private transactions. The shares were repurchased in connection with the exercise of stock options by Ms. Cooper and Ms. Young covering 4,671 and 4,605 shares, respectively of common stock. The initial repurchase price was $14.50 per share, subject to adjustment as described immediately below in order to ensure the fairness of the price to the Company. The Company anticipates commencing a public stock offering in the fall of 2010 of up to 139,592 shares of common stock on a subscription rights basis, with the subscription rights price to be at a modest discount to the then market price of the stock, and with shares not purchased on a rights basis to be offered at the full market price on a non-rights basis. Following the close of the stock offering, the purchase price for the shares repurchased from the above-referenced directors will be adjusted if necessary such that the ultimate repurchase price for the shares will be identical to the shareholder subscription rights price in the offering. Depending upon whether that price ends up being more or less than $14.50 per share, the adjustment will be effectuated either by the Company's issuance of additional shares to the directors, or the Company's acquisition of additional shares from such directors, in either case without additional consideration. In the event that the offering is not successfully completed, the Company will instead obtain an independent valuation of the shares, and an adjustment to the repurchase price will be made on that basis if appropriate. Based on the above, the Board concluded that the transaction was fair to the Company and in the best interests of its shareholders. The terms of the transaction were approved by the Companys Board of Directors, with the interested directors abstaining.
34
In addition, in June 2010 the Company repurchased an aggregate of 18,344 shares from Dann H. Bowman, Chief Executive Officer and a director of the Bank and the Company, in a series of private transactions. The shares were repurchased in connection with the exercise of stock options by Mr. Bowman covering a total of 45,413 shares of common stock. The initial repurchase price was 5,977 shares at $14.50 on June 18, 2010. The remaining 12,367 shares were repurchased at the reduced purchase price $14.25 per share in late June 2010. All repurchases of Mr. Bowmans shares are subject to adjustment on the same basis as described in the previous paragraph in order to ensure the fairness of the price to the Company. Based on the same criteria as described above, the Board concluded that the transaction was fair to the Company and in the best interests of its shareholders. The terms of the transaction were approved by the Companys Board of Directors, with Mr. Bowman abstaining.
