1.	SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Loans Held for Investment – Loans are recognized at the principal amount outstanding, net of unearned income, loan participations and amounts charged off. Unearned income includes deferred loan origination fees reduced by loan origination costs. Unearned income on loans is amortized to interest income over the life of the related loan using the level yield method. The following is a description of the loan categories held for investment.

Commercial Loans

In addition to traditional term commercial loans made to business customers, the Company grants revolving business lines of credit. Under the terms of the revolving lines of credit, the Company grants a maximum loan amount, which remains available to the business during the loan term. Generally, as part of the loan requirements, the business agrees to maintain its primary banking relationship with the Company. The collateral for these loans typically are secured by UCC-1 financing statements, real estate and personal guarantees. The Company does not extend material loans of this type in excess of two years.

Commercial Real Estate

Commercial real estate and construction loans are primarily made for the purpose of purchasing, improving or constructing single-family residences, commercial or industrial properties. This loan category also includes SBA 504 loans and land loans.

A substantial portion of the Company's real estate construction loans are first and second trust deeds on the construction of owner-occupied single family dwellings. The Company also makes real estate construction loans on commercial properties. These consist of first and second trust deeds collateralized by the related real property. Construction loans are generally written with terms of six to eighteen months and usually do not exceed a loan to appraised value of 80%. All construction loans require UCC-1 filings to secure on-site building materials, including but not limited to lumber, plumbing fixtures and dry wall.

Commercial and industrial real estate loans are secured by nonresidential property. Office buildings or other commercial property primarily secure these loans. Loan to appraised value ratios on nonresidential real estate loans are generally restricted to 75% of appraised value of the underlying real property if occupied by the owner or owner’s business; otherwise, these loans are generally restricted to 70% of appraised value of the underlying real property.

SBA 504 loans are made in conjunction with Certified Development Companies. These loans are granted to purchase or construct real estate or acquire machinery and equipment. The loan is structured with a conventional first trust deed provided by a private lender and a second trust deed which is funded through the sale of debentures. The predominant structure is terms of 10% down payment, 50% conventional first loan and 40% debenture. Construction loans of this type must provide additional collateral to reduce the loan-to-value to approximately 75%.

Conventional and investor loans are sometimes funded by our secondary-market partners and the Company receives a premium for these transactions.

Table of Contents

SBA Loans

SBA loans consist of 7(a) and Business and Industry loans (“B&I”). The 7(a) loan proceeds are used for working capital, machinery and equipment purchases, land and building purposes, leasehold improvements and debt refinancing. At present, the SBA guarantees as much as 85% on loans up to $150,000 and 75% on loans more than $150,000. In certain instances, the Company sells a portion of the loans, however, under the SBA 7(a) loan program, the Company is required to retain a minimum of 5% of the principal balance of each loan it sells into the secondary market.

Agricultural Loans for real estate and operating lines

The Company has expanded its agricultural lending program for agricultural land, agricultural operational lines, and agricultural term loans for crops, equipment and livestock. The primary product is supported by guarantees issued from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (“USDA”), Farm Service Agency (“FSA”), and the USDA Business and Industry loan program. The FSA loans typically issue a 90% guarantee up to $1,214,000 for 40 years or 480 months. The rates are typically fixed for 5 years and reset on the 61st month. The agricultural term loans and operating lines can be either fixed or variable. The operating lines are committed up to 7 years or 84 months and the term loans can be for 7 years or 84 months.

The USDA Business and Industry loans have up to 80% guarantee on loan amounts up to $5,000,000. These loans can be utilized for rural commercial real estate and equipment. The loans can be up to 30 years or 360 months. The rates can be fixed or variable.

Single Family Real Estate Loans

The Company originates loans that consist of first and second mortgage loans secured by trust deeds on one-to-four family homes. These loans are made to borrowers for purposes such as purchasing a home, refinancing an existing home, interest rate reduction, home improvement, or debt consolidation. Generally, these loans are underwritten to specific investor guidelines and are committed for sale to that investor. Although the majority of these loans are sold servicing released into the secondary market, a relatively small percentage is held as part of the Company’s portfolio.

Manufactured Housing Loans

The Company originates loans secured by manufactured homes located in approved mobile home parks in our primary lending area of Santa Barbara and Ventura Counties as well as along the California coast. The loans are serviced internally and are originated under one of two programs: fixed rate loans written for terms of 10 to 20 years; and adjustable rate loans written for a term of 30 years with the initial interest rates fixed for the first 5 or 10 years and then adjusting annually subject to caps and floors.

HELOC

The Company provides lines of credit collateralized by residential real estate, home equity lines of credit (“HELOC”), for consumer related purposes. Typically, HELOCs are collateralized by a second deed of trust. The combined loan-to-value, first trust deed and second trust deed, are not to exceed 75% on all new HELOCs.

Other Installment Loans

Installment loans consist of automobile and general-purpose loans made to individuals. These loans are primarily fixed rate.

Provision and Allowance for Loan Losses – The Company maintains a detailed, systematic analysis and procedural discipline to determine the amount of the allowance for loan losses (“ALL”). The ALL is based on estimates and is intended to be adequate to provide for probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio. This process involves deriving probable loss estimates that are based on migration analysis/historical loss rates and qualitative factors that are based on management’s judgment. The migration analysis and historical loss rate calculations are based upon the annualized loss rates utilizing a twelve-quarter loss history. Migration analysis is utilized for the Commercial Real Estate, Commercial, SBA, HELOC, Single Family Residential, and Consumer portfolios. The historical loss rate method is utilized for the homogeneous loan categories, primarily the Manufactured Housing portfolio. The migration analysis takes into account the risk rating of loans that are charged off in each loan category. Loans that are considered Doubtful are typically charged off. The following is a description of the characteristics of loans graded Pass, Special Mention, Substandard, Doubtful and Loss. Loan ratings are reviewed as part of our normal loan monitoring process, but, at a minimum, updated on an annual basis.

Table of Contents

Pass

Loans rated in this category are acceptable loans, appropriately underwritten, bearing an ordinary risk of loss to the Company. Loans in this category are loans to quality borrowers with financial statements presenting a good primary source as well as an adequate secondary source of repayment. In the case of individuals, borrowers deserving of this rating are quality borrowers demonstrating a reasonable level of secure income, a net worth adequate to support the loan and presenting a good primary source as well as an adequate secondary source of repayment.

Special Mention

A Special Mention loan has potential weaknesses that deserve management's close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or in the institution's credit position at some future date. Special mention assets are not adversely classified and do not expose an institution to sufficient risk to warrant adverse classification.

Substandard

A Substandard loan is inadequately protected by the current sound net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Doubtful

A loan classified Doubtful has all the weaknesses inherent in one classified Substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable. The possibility of loss is extremely high, but because of certain important and reasonably specific pending factors, which may work to the advantage and strengthening of the loan, its classification as an estimated loss is deferred until its more exact status may be determined. Pending factors include proposed merger, acquisition or liquidation procedures, capital injection, perfecting liens on additional collateral and refinancing plans.

Loss

Loans classified Loss are considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as bankable loans is not warranted. This classification does not mean that the asset has absolutely no recovery or salvage value, but rather it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off this loan even though partial recovery may be affected in the future. Losses are taken in the period in which they surface as uncollectible. The following is the Company’s policy regarding charging off loans by loan categories.

Commercial, Commercial Real Estate and SBA Loans

Charge-offs on these loan categories are taken as soon as all or a portion of any loan balance is deemed to be uncollectible. A loan is considered uncollectible when the debtor is delinquent in principal or interest repayment 90 days or more and, in the opinion of the Company, improvement in the debtor's ability to repay the debt in a timely manner is doubtful. Also, collateral value is insufficient to cover the outstanding indebtedness. Loans secured by real estate on which principal or interest is due and unpaid for 90 days are evaluated for possible charge-down and placed on non-accrual. Generally, loan balances are charged-down to the fair value of the property, if, based on a current appraisal, an apparent deficiency exists. In the event there is no perceived equity, the loan is charged-off in full like any other unsecured loan, which is not secured and over 90 days.

Single Family Real Estate, HELOC’s and Manufactured Housing Loans

Consumer loans and residential mortgages secured by one-to-four family residential properties, HELOC and manufactured housing loans in which principal or interest is due and unpaid for 90 days, are evaluated for possible charge-down. Loan balances are charged-down to the fair value of the property if, based on a current appraisal, an apparent deficiency exists. In the event there is no perceived equity, the loan is generally charged-off in full like any other consumer loan, which is not secured and unpaid over 90-120 days.

Consumer Loans

All consumer loans (excluding real estate mortgages, home equity loans and savings secured loans) are charged-off or charged-down to net recoverable value before becoming 120 days or 5 payments delinquent. Consumer losses are identified well before the 120 day limit whenever possible. Net recoverable value can only be determined if the collateral is in the Company's possession, and its liquidation value can be verified and realized in the near term.

The second component of the ALL covers qualitative factors related to non-impaired loans. The qualitative allowance on each of the loan pools is based on the following factors:

Table of Contents

Concentrations of credit

International risk

Trends in volume, maturity, and composition

Off-balance sheet

Volume and trend in delinquency

Economic conditions

Outside exams

Geographic distance

Policy and procedures

Staff experience and ability

The ALL calculation for the different loan portfolios is as follows:

Commercial Real Estate, Commercial, SBA, HELOC, Single Family Residential, and Consumer – Migration analysis combined with risk rating is used to determine the required allowance for all non-impaired loans. In addition, the migration results are adjusted based upon the qualitative factors previously discussed that affect this specific portfolio category. Reserves on impaired loans are determined based upon the individual characteristics of the loan.

Manufactured Housing – The allowance is calculated on the basis of loss history and risk rating, which is primarily a function of delinquency. In addition, the migration results are adjusted based upon the qualitative factors previously discussed that affect this specific portfolio.

The Company evaluates and individually assesses for impairment loans generally greater than $500,000, classified as substandard or doubtful in addition to loans either on nonaccrual, considered a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) or when other conditions exist which lead management to review for possible impairment. The $500,000 threshold for the evaluation of individual loans for impairment represents a change instituted in the second quarter of 2012. Previously, the threshold for the evaluation of loans for impairment was $100,000. Measurement of impairment on impaired loans is determined on a loan-by-loan basis and in total establishes a specific reserve for impaired loans. The amount of impairment is determined by comparing the recorded investment in each loan with its value measured by one of three methods.

The expected future cash flows are estimated and then discounted at the effective interest rate.

The value of the underlying collateral net of selling costs. Selling costs are estimated based on industry standards, the Company’s actual experience or actual costs incurred as appropriate. When evaluating real estate collateral, the Company typically uses appraisals or valuations, no more than twelve months old at time of evaluation. When evaluating non-real estate collateral securing the loan, the Company will use audited financial statements or appraisals no more than twelve months old at time of evaluation. Additionally for both real estate and non-real estate collateral, the Company may use other sources to determine value as deemed appropriate.

The loan’s observable market price.

Interest income is not recognized on impaired loans except for limited circumstances in which a loan, although impaired, continues to perform in accordance with the loan contract and the borrower provides financial information to support maintaining the loan on accrual.

The Company determines the appropriate ALL on a monthly basis and updates the qualitative factors quarterly. Any differences between estimated and actual observed losses from the prior month are reflected in the current period in determining the appropriate ALL determination and adjusted as deemed necessary. The review of the adequacy of the allowance takes into consideration such factors as concentrations of credit, changes in the growth, size and composition of the loan portfolio, overall and individual portfolio quality, review of specific problem loans, collateral, guarantees and economic and environmental conditions that may affect the borrowers' ability to pay and/or the value of the underlying collateral. Additional factors considered include: geographic location of borrowers, changes in the Company’s product-specific credit policy and lending staff experience. These estimates depend on the outcome of future events and, therefore, contain inherent uncertainties.

The Company’s ALL is maintained at a level believed adequate by management to absorb known and inherent probable losses on existing loans. A provision for loan losses is charged to expense. The allowance is charged for losses when management believes that full recovery on the loan is unlikely.

Table of Contents

The Company has outsourced and centralized appraisal management processes that track and monitor appraisals, appraisal reviews and other valuations. The centralization focus is to ensure the use of qualified and independent appraisers capable of providing reliable real estate values in the context of ever changing market conditions. The review process is monitored to ensure application of the appropriate appraisal methodology, agreement with the interpretation of market data and the resultant real estate value. The process also provides the means of tracking the performance quality of the appraisers on the Company’s approved appraiser list. Any loan evaluation that results in the Company determining that elevated credit risk and/or default risk exists and also exhibits a lack of a timely valuation of the collateral or apparent collateral value deterioration is reappraised and reevaluated to determine the current extent of any change in collateral value and credit risk. A similar review process is conducted quarterly on all classified and criticized real estate credits to determine the timeliness and adequacy of the real estate collateral value.

Foreclosed Real Estate and Repossessed Assets – Foreclosed real estate and other repossessed assets are recorded at fair value at the time of foreclosure less estimated costs to sell. Any excess of loan balance over the fair value less estimated costs to sell of the other assets is charged-off against the allowance for loan losses. Any excess of the fair value less estimated costs to sell over the loan balance is recorded as a loan loss recovery to the extent of the loan loss previously charged-off against the allowance for loan losses; and, if greater, recorded as a gain on foreclosed real estate. Subsequent to the legal ownership date, management periodically performs a new valuation and the asset is carried at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less estimated costs to sell. Operating expenses or income, and gains or losses on disposition of such properties, are recorded in current operations.

Income Taxes – The Company uses the asset and liability method, which recognizes a liability or asset representing the tax effects of future deductible or taxable amounts that have been recognized in the consolidated financial statements. Due to tax regulations, certain items of income and expense are recognized in different periods for tax return purposes than for financial statement reporting. These items represent “temporary differences.” Deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax effect of temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each period end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. A valuation allowance is established for deferred tax assets if, based on weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets may not be realized.

As of December 31, 2011, the deferred tax asset, net of valuation allowance, totaled $306,000. Management evaluates the Company’s deferred tax asset for recoverability using a consistent approach which considers the relative impact of negative and positive evidence, including the Company’s historical profitability and projections of future taxable income. The Company is required to establish a valuation allowance for deferred tax asset and record a charge to income if Management determines, based on available evidence at the time the determination is made, that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset may not be realized.

For the three-year period ended December 31, 2011, the Company was in a cumulative pretax loss position. For purposes of establishing a deferred tax valuation allowance, this cumulative pretax loss position was considered significant, objective evidence that the Company may not be able to realize some portion of the deferred tax asset in the future. As a result, the Company established a valuation allowance for the deferred tax asset of $6.7 million as of December 31, 2011. The net deferred tax asset of $306,000 represented the estimated amount of tax that Management has determined may be recoverable through carryback of tax losses to prior years.

Net income represents positive evidence for the reduction of the deferred tax valuation allowance. Based on net income of $841,000 for the first nine months ended September 30, 2012, the deferred tax valuation allowance was reduced by $354,000 to $6.3 million at September 30, 2012. The net deferred tax asset increased from $306,000 at December 31, 2011 to $660,000 at September 30, 2012.

The Company is subject to the provisions of ASC 740, Income Taxes (ASC 740). ASC 740 prescribes a more-likely-than-not threshold for the financial statement recognition of uncertain tax positions. ASC 740 clarifies the accounting for income taxes by prescribing a minimum recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. On a quarterly basis, the Company evaluates income tax accruals in accordance with ASC 740 guidance on uncertain tax positions.

Earnings Per Share - Basic earnings per common share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period divided into the net income (loss) applicable to common shareholders. Diluted earnings per share include the effect of all dilutive potential common shares for the period. Potentially dilutive common shares include stock options, warrants and shares that could result from the conversion of debenture bonds.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements –In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs.” ASU No. 2011-04 results in a consistent definition of fair value and common requirements for measurement of and disclosure about fair value between U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). The changes to U.S. GAAP as a result of ASU No. 2011-04 are as follows: (1) The concepts of highest and best use and valuation premise are only relevant when measuring the fair value of nonfinancial assets (that is, it does not apply to financial assets or any liabilities); (2) U.S. GAAP currently prohibits application of a blockage factor in valuing financial instruments with quoted prices in active markets. ASU No. 2011-04 extends that prohibition to all fair value measurements; (3) An exception is provided to the basic fair value measurement principles for an entity that holds a group of financial assets and financial liabilities with offsetting positions in market risks or counterparty credit risk that are managed on the basis of the entity’s net exposure to either of those risks. This exception allows the entity, if certain criteria are met, to measure the fair value of the net asset or liability position in a manner consistent with how market participants would price the net risk position; (4) Aligns the fair value measurement of instruments classified within an entity’s shareholders’ equity with the guidance for liabilities; and (5) Disclosure requirements have been enhanced for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements to disclose quantitative information about unobservable inputs and assumptions used, to describe the valuation processes used by the entity, and to describe the sensitivity of fair value measurements to changes in unobservable inputs and interrelationships between those inputs. In addition, entities must report the level in the fair value hierarchy of items that are not measured at fair value in the balance sheet but whose fair value must be disclosed. The provisions of ASU No. 2011-04 are effective for the Company’s interim reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2011. The adoption of ASU No. 2011-04 did not have a material impact on the Company’s balance sheets and statements of income.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, “Presentation of Comprehensive Income.” The provisions of ASU No. 2011-05 allow an entity the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income (“OCI”) either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In both choices, an entity is required to present each component of net income along with total net income, each component of OCI along with a total for OCI, and a total amount for comprehensive income. The statement(s) are required to be presented with equal prominence as the other primary financial statements. ASU No. 2011-05 eliminates the option to present the components of OCI as part of the statement of changes in shareholders’ equity but does not change the items that must be reported in OCI or when an item of OCI must be reclassified to net income. The provisions of ASU No. 2011-05 are effective for the Company’s interim reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2011, with retrospective application required. The adoption of ASU No. 2011-05 resulted in presentation changes to the Company’s statements of income and the addition of a statement of comprehensive income. The adoption of ASU No. 2011-05 had no impact on the Company’s balance sheets.

In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-12 “Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05”. The amendments are being made to allow the FASB time to re-deliberate whether to present on the face of the financial statements the effects of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income on the components of net income and OCI for all periods presented. Entities should continue to report reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income consistent with the presentation requirements in effect before ASU 2011-05. The adoption of ASU 2011-12 will have no impact on the Company’s balance sheets.

At September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, $24.8 million and $38.9 million of securities, respectively, at carrying value, were pledged to the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”), San Francisco, as collateral for current and future advances.

In the first quarter of 2012, the Company sold seven available-for-sale securities for a gain of $121,000. The cost basis of the securities sold was determined by specific identification. As a result, $99,000 in unrealized gain was classified out of accumulated other comprehensive income.

The maturity periods and weighted average yields of investment securities at September 30, 2012 are as follows:

Expected maturities will differ from contractual maturities because borrowers or issuers have the right to call or prepay investment securities. Changes in interest rates may also impact borrowers or issuers of investment securities and cause them to prepay investment securities earlier than the contractual term.

As of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, there were three and five securities, respectively, in an unrealized loss position.

Declines in the fair value of held-to-maturity and available-for-sale securities below their cost that are deemed to be other than temporary are reflected in earnings as realized losses. In estimating other-than-temporary impairment losses, management considers, among other things (i) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost (ii) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer and (iii) the Company’s intent to sell an impaired security and if it is not more likely than not it will be required to sell the security before the recovery of its amortized basis.

The unrealized losses are primarily due to increases in market interest rates over the yields available at the time the underlying securities were purchased. The fair value is expected to recover as the bonds approach their maturity date or repricing date or if market yields for such investments decline. Management does not believe any of the securities are impaired due to reasons of credit quality, as all are direct or indirect agencies of the U. S. Government. Accordingly, as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, management believes the impairments detailed in the table above are temporary and no other-than-temporary impairment loss has been realized in the Company’s consolidated income statements.

3.	LOAN SALES AND SERVICING

SBA Loan Sales - The Company periodically sells the guaranteed portion of selected SBA loans into the secondary market, on a servicing-retained basis. The Company retains the unguaranteed portion of these loans and services the loans as required under the SBA programs to retain specified yield amounts.

Historically, the Company has elected to use the amortizing method for the treatment of servicing assets and has measured for impairment on a quarterly basis through a discounted cash flow analysis prepared by an independent third party using industry prepayment speeds. In connection with the sale of $10.1 million in SBA loans during the first quarter of 2012, the Company recorded a servicing asset of $276,000 and has elected to measure this asset at fair value in accordance with ASC 825-10 – Fair Value Option to better reflect the impact of subsequent changes in interest rates. The SBA program stipulates that the Company retains a minimum of 5% of the loan balance, which is unguaranteed. The percentage of each unguaranteed loan in excess of 5% may be periodically sold to a third party, typically for a cash premium. The Company records servicing liabilities for the unguaranteed loans sold calculated based on the present value of the estimated future servicing costs associated with each loan. As of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the servicing liability was $46,000 and $55,000, respectively.

Table of Contents

The Company may also periodically sell certain SBA loans into the secondary market, on a servicing-released basis, typically for a cash premium. As of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company had approximately $57.2 million and $74.1 million, respectively, in SBA loans included in loans held for sale. As of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the principal balance of SBA loans serviced was $34.5 million and $27.6 million, respectively.

The Company has expanded its agricultural lending program for agricultural land, agricultural operational lines, and agricultural term loans for crops, equipment and livestock. The primary product is supported by guarantees issued from the USDA, FSA, and the USDA Business and Industry loan program. In the third quarter of 2012, the Company sold $2.5 million in USDA loans and elected to measure the related servicing asset at fair value of $72,000 in accordance with ASC 825-10.

As of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company had no USDA loans included in loans held for sale. The $950,000 balance of the USDA loans at September 30, 2012 represent the unguaranteed portion included in loans held for investment. As of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the principal balance of USDA loans serviced was $2.5 million and $0, respectively.

The following is a summary of activity for the Company’s I/O strips:

The key data and assumptions used in estimating the fair value of the Company’s servicing rights as of September 30, 2012 were as follows:

	September 30, 2012
Weighted-Average Constant Prepayment Rate		5.19	%
Weighted-Average Life (in years)		9
Weighted-Average Discount Rate		13.93	%

A sensitivity analysis of the Company’s fair value of servicing rights to change in certain key assumptions as of September 30, 2012 is presented in the following table:

	September 30, 2012
	(in thousands)
Discount Rate
Increase in fair value from 100 basis points (“bps”) decrease	$	13
Decrease in fair value from 100 bps increase		(13	)
Constant Prepayment Rate
Increase in fair value from 10% decrease	$	7
Decrease in fair value from 10% increase		(7	)

This analysis generally cannot be extrapolated because the relationship of a change in one key assumption to the change in the fair value of the Company’s servicing rights usually is not linear. Also, the effect of changing one key assumption without changing other assumptions is not realistic.

Mortgage Loan Sales – The Company enters into mortgage loan rate lock commitments (normally for 30 days) with potential borrowers. In conjunction therewith, the Company enters into a forward sale commitment to sell the locked loan to a third party investor. This forward sale agreement requires delivery of the loan on a “best efforts” basis but does not obligate the Company to deliver if the mortgage loan does not fund.

Table of Contents

The mortgage rate lock agreement and the forward sale agreement qualify as derivatives. The value of these derivatives is generally equal to the fee, if any, charged to the borrower at inception but may fluctuate in the event of changes in interest rates. Although the Company does not attempt to qualify these transactions for special hedge accounting, management believes that changes in the fair value of the two commitments generally offset and create an economic hedge. At September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company had $10.5 million and $8.0 million, respectively, in outstanding mortgage loan interest rate lock and forward sale commitments. The values of related derivative instruments were not material to the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

CWB generally repurchases the guaranteed portion of SBA loans from investors when those loans become past due 120 days. After the foreclosure and collection process is complete, the SBA reimburses CWB for this principal balance. Although these balances do not earn interest during this period, they generally do not result in a loss of principal to CWB; therefore a repurchase reserve has not been established related to these loans.

The composition of the Company’s net nonaccrual loans is as follows:

Table of Contents

The accrual of interest is discontinued when substantial doubt exists as to collectibility of the loan; generally at the time the loan is 90 days delinquent. Any unpaid but accrued interest is reversed at that time. Thereafter, interest income is no longer recognized on the loan. Interest income may be recognized on impaired loans to the extent they are not past due by 90 days. Interest on nonaccrual loans is accounted for on the cash-basis or cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual. Loans are returned to accrual status when all of the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.

The three Manufactured Housing troubled debt restructures received extensions of 30 months, 41 months and 358 months during the second quarter of 2012. The loans were transferred to repossessed assets during the third quarter of 2012.

A loan is considered a TDR when concessions have been made to the borrower and the borrower is in financial difficulty. These concessions include but are not limited to term extensions, rate reductions and principal reductions. Forgiveness of principal is rarely granted and modifications for all classes of loans are predominantly term extensions. TDR loans are also considered impaired. A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal and/or interest under the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and/or interest payments. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays or payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays or payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis. When determining the possibility of impairment, management considers the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower's prior payment record and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. For collateral-dependent loans, the Company uses the fair value of collateral method to measure impairment. The collateral-dependent loans that recognize impairment are charged down to the fair value less costs to sell. All other loans are measured for impairment either based on the present value of future cash flows or the loan’s observable market price.

5.	FAIR VALUE MEASUREMEN

Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or the price that would be paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. U. S. GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Three levels of inputs may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 – Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices, unadjusted, for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. A quoted price in an active market provides the most reliable evidence of fair value and shall be used to measure fair value whenever available. A contractually binding sales price also provides reliable evidence of fair value.

Level 2 – Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or inputs to the valuation methodology that utilize model-based techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market.

Level 3 – Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement; inputs to the valuation methodology that utilize model-based techniques for which significant assumptions are not observable in the market; or inputs to the valuation methodology that requires significant management judgment or estimation, some of which may be internally developed.

The following summarizes the fair value measurements of assets measured on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 and the relative levels of inputs from which such amounts were derived:

Total	$	24,007	$	-	$	23,588	$	419

Market valuations of our investment securities which are classified as level 2 are provided by an independent third party. The fair values are determined by using several sources for valuing fixed income securities. Their techniques include pricing models that vary based on the type of asset being valued and incorporate available trade, bid and other market information. In accordance with the fair value hierarchy, the market valuation sources include observable market inputs and are therefore considered Level 2 inputs for purposes of determining the fair values.

On certain SBA loan sales that occurred prior to 2003, the Company retained interest only strips (“I/O strips”), which represent the present value of excess net cash flows generated by the difference between (a) interest at the stated rate paid by borrowers and (b) the sum of (i) pass-through interest paid to third-party investors and (ii) contractual servicing fees. I/O strips are classified as level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value is determined on a quarterly basis through a discounted cash flow analysis prepared by an independent third party using industry prepayment speeds. The I/O strips were valued at $419,000 as of December 31, 2011 and a valuation adjustment of $32,000 was recorded in income during the first nine months of 2012. No other changes in the balance have occurred related to the I/O strips and such valuation adjustments are included as additions or offsets to loan servicing income.

Historically, the Company has elected to use the amortizing method for the treatment of servicing assets and has measured for impairment on a quarterly basis through a discounted cash flow analysis prepared by an independent third party using industry prepayment speeds. In connection with the sale of $10.1 million in SBA loans during the first quarter of 2012 and the sale of $2.5 million in USDA loans during the third quarter, the Company recorded a servicing asset of $276,000 and $72,000, respectively, and has elected to measure those assets at fair value in accordance with ASC 825-10. Significant assumptions in the valuation of servicing rights include estimated loan repayment rates, the discount rate, and servicing costs, among others. Servicing rights are classified as Level 3 measurements due to the use of significant unobservable inputs, as well as significant management judgment and estimation.

The Company also has assets that under certain conditions are subject to measurement at fair value on a non-recurring basis. These assets include loans held for sale, foreclosed real estate and repossessed assets and loans that are considered impaired.

The following summarizes the fair value measurements of assets measured on a non-recurring basis as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 and the relative levels of inputs from which such amounts were derived:

	Fair value measurements at September 30, 2012
			Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets		Significant other observable inputs		Significant unobservable inputs
Description	Total		(Level 1)		(Level 2)		(Level 3)
	(in thousands)
Impaired loans, net	$	37,937	$	-	$	26,967	$	10,970
Loans held for sale		66,358		-		66,358		-
Foreclosed real estate and repossessed assets		3,761		-		3,761		-
Total	$	108,056	$	-	$	97,086	$	10,970

	Fair value measurements at December 31, 2011
			Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets		Significant other observable inputs		Significant unobservable inputs
Description	Total		(Level 1)		(Level 2)		(Level 3)
	(in thousands)
Impaired loans, net	$	39,656	$	-	$	23,490	$	16,166
Loans held for sale		79,545		-		79,545		-
Foreclosed real estate and repossessed assets		6,701		-		6,701		-
Total	$	125,902	$	-	$	109,736	$	16,166

Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or fair value. The fair value of loans held for sale is based on what secondary markets are currently offering for portfolios with similar characteristics or based on the agreed upon sale price. As such, the Company classifies the fair value of loans held for sale as a non-recurring valuation within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. At September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company had loans held for sale with an aggregate carrying value of $62.9 million and $77.3 million respectively.

Table of Contents

Foreclosed real estate and repossessed assets are carried at the lower of cost or fair value less estimated cost to sell. Fair value is based upon independent market prices obtained from certified appraisers or the current listing price, if lower. When the fair value of the collateral is based on a current appraised value, the Company reports the fair value of the foreclosed collateral as non-recurring Level 2. When a current appraised value is not available or if management determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired, the Company reports the foreclosed collateral as non-recurring Level 3.

The Company records certain loans at fair value on a non-recurring basis. A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal and/or interest under the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Impaired loans are measured at an observable market price, if available or at the fair value of the loans collateral, if the loan is collateral dependent. The fair value of the loan’s collateral is determined by appraisals or independent valuation. When the fair value of the loan’s collateral is based on an observable market price or current appraised value, given the current real estate markets, the appraisals may contain a wide range of values and accordingly, the Company classifies the fair value of the impaired loans as a non-recurring valuation within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. For loans in which impairment is determined based on the net present value of cash flows, the Company classifies these as a non-recurring valuation within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.

Preferred Stock

On December 19, 2008, as part of the United States Department of the Treasury’s (“Treasury”) Troubled Asset Relief Program - Capital Purchase Program (“TARP Program”), the Company entered into a Letter Agreement with the Treasury, pursuant to which the Company issued to the Treasury, in exchange for an aggregate purchase price of $15.6 million in cash: (i) 15,600 shares of the Company's Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A, no par value, having a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), and (ii) a warrant (the “Warrant”) to purchase up to 521,158 shares of the Company's common stock, no par value (“Common Stock”), at an exercise price of $4.49 per share.

Series A Preferred Stock pays cumulative dividends at a rate of 5% per year for the first five years and at a rate of 9% per year thereafter, but will be paid only if, as and when declared by the Company's Board of Directors. The Series A Preferred Stock has no maturity date and ranks senior to the Common Stock with respect to the payment of dividends and distributions and amounts payable upon liquidation, dissolution and winding up of the Company. The Series A Preferred Stock is generally non-voting, other than class voting on certain matters that could adversely affect the Series A Preferred Stock. In the event that dividends payable on the Series A Preferred Stock have not been paid for the equivalent of six or more quarters, whether or not consecutive, the Company's authorized number of Directors will be automatically increased by two and the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, voting together with holders of any then outstanding voting parity stock, will have the right to elect those Directors at the Company's next annual meeting of shareholders or at a special meeting of shareholders called for that purpose. These Directors will be elected annually and will serve until all accrued and unpaid dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock have been paid. Notwithstanding the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock, the Treasury has issued guidance that permits institutions that participated in the TARP Program, such as the Company, to redeem the Series A Preferred Stock and to repurchase the warrants issued to the Treasury subject to prior consultation with the institutions primary federal banking regulator.

In the first nine months of 2012, the Company recorded $584,000 of dividends and $201,000 in accretion of the discount on preferred stock, for a total of $785,000 in Series A Preferred Stock dividends and accretion on preferred stock. The Company has paid all the quarterly dividends on such Series A Preferred Stock through February 15, 2012; therefore, the Company is not in arrears on any such prior dividends. While the Company declared and accrued for its May 15, 2012 and August 15, 2012 dividends, the Company’s request to the FRB, pursuant to the requirements under a written agreement with the FRB, to pay the dividends was denied by the FRB and, as such, the Company has not paid the dividends. The aggregate amount of the dividends that would have been paid on May 15, 2012 and August 15, 2012 on the Series A Preferred Stock was $388,000. The deferral of the dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock is permitted under its terms and does not constitute an event of default.

Common Stock Warrant

The Warrant provides for the purchase of up to 521,158 shares of the common stock, at an exercise price of $4.49 per share (“Warrant Shares”). The Warrant is immediately exercisable and has a 10-year term. The exercise price and the ultimate number of shares of common stock that may be issued under the Warrant are subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments, such as upon stock splits or distributions of securities or other assets to holders of the common stock, and upon certain issuances of the common stock at or below a specified price relative to the then current market price of the common stock. Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Treasury has agreed not to exercise voting power with respect to any Warrant Shares.

9.	FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The estimated fair values of financial instruments have been determined by the Company using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is required to interpret market data to develop estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could realize in a current market exchange. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

The following table represents the estimated fair values:

	September 30, 2012				December 31, 2011
	Carrying Amount		Estimated Fair Value		Carrying Amount		Estimated Fair Value
	(in thousands)
Assets:
Cash and cash equivalents	$	32,306	$	32,306	$	22,572	$	22,572
Time and interest-bearing deposits in other financial institutions		3,890		3,890		347		347
Federal Reserve and Federal Home Loan Bank stock		4,961		4,961		5,557		5,557
Investment securities		24,823		25,638		38,923		39,655
Loans		459,938		478,911		532,716		512,524
Liabilities:
Deposits (other than time deposits)		345,803		345,803		359,119		359,119
Time deposits		114,163		116,106		152,143		154,484
Other borrowings		41,852		43,450		68,852		70,975

The methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value are explained below:

Cash and cash equivalents - The carrying amounts approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments.

Table of Contents

Time deposits in other financial institutions - The carrying amounts approximate fair value because of the relative short-term nature of these instruments.

Federal Reserve Stock - The carrying value approximates the fair value because the stock can be sold back to the Federal Reserve at any time at par.

Federal Home Loan Bank Stock - The carrying value approximates the fair value.

Investment securities – Market valuations of our investment securities are provided by an independent third party. The fair values are determined by using several sources for valuing fixed income securities. Their techniques include pricing models that vary based on the type of asset being valued and incorporate available trade, bid and other market information. In accordance with the fair value hierarchy, the market valuation sources include observable market inputs and are therefore considered Level 2 inputs for purposes of determining the fair values.

Loans – For most loan categories, the fair value is estimated using discounted cash flows utilizing an appropriate discount rate and historical prepayment speeds. For certain adjustable loans that re-price on a frequent basis carrying value approximates fair value. In accordance with the fair value hierarchy, the market valuation sources include observable market inputs and are therefore considered Level 2 inputs for purposes of determining the fair values.

Deposits – The amount payable at demand at report date is used to estimate the fair value of demand and savings deposits. The estimated fair values of fixed-rate time deposits are determined by discounting the cash flows of segments of deposits that have similar maturities and rates, utilizing a discount rate that approximates the prevailing rates offered to depositors as of the measurement date. In accordance with the fair value hierarchy, the market valuation for time deposit include observable market inputs and are therefore considered Level 2 inputs for purposes of determining the fair values.

Other borrowings – The fair value of FHLB advances is estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis based on rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements. In accordance with the fair value hierarchy, the market valuation for other borrowings includes observable market inputs and is therefore considered Level 2 input for purposes of determining the fair values.

Commitments to Extend Credit, Commercial and Standby Letters of Credit – Due to the proximity of the pricing of these commitments to the period end, the fair values of commitments are immaterial to the financial statements.

The fair value estimates presented herein are based on pertinent information available to management as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011. Although management is not aware of any factors that would significantly affect the estimated fair value amounts, such amounts have not been comprehensively revalued for purposes of these financial statements since those dates and, therefore, current estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the amounts presented herein.

ITEM 2.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

This discussion is designed to provide insight into management’s assessment of significant trends related to the Company's consolidated financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital resources and interest rate sensitivity. It should be read in conjunction with the Company’s unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and notes thereto provided under “Item 1 – Financial Statements” above, the audited consolidated financial statement and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, and the other financial information appearing elsewhere in this report.

Overview of Earnings Performance

For the third quarter of 2012 (“3Q12”), net income was $613,000 compared to a net loss of $2.3 million for 3Q11.

The significant factors impacting net income for 3Q12 were:

A decline in interest income of $1.3 million resulting from a combination of lower average interest-earning assets, $522.8 million for 3Q12 compared to $614.4 million for 3Q11 and higher yields on interest-earning assets of 5.72% for 3Q12 compared to 5.66% for 3Q11.

A provision for loan losses of $1.3 million for 3Q12 compared to $4.5 million for 3Q11, a decline of $3.2 million.

Net interest margin increased for 3Q12 to 4.65% compared to 4.38% for 3Q11 primarily from a decline in rates paid on funding sources from 1.49% for 3Q11 to 1.22% for 3Q12 and higher yields on interest-earning assets.

Non-interest expenses decreased $1.7 million, from $5.3 million in 3Q12 compared to $7.0 million in 3Q11. The decrease was primarily due to the $1.2 million decrease in the loss on sale and writedowns of foreclosed real estate and repossessed assets from $1.4 million in 3Q11 to $189,000 in 3Q12.

Recent Regulatory Actions

Office of the Comptroller of the Currency

On January 26, 2012, the Bank, entered into a consent agreement with the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”), the Bank’s primary banking regulator, which requires the Bank to take certain corrective actions to address certain deficiencies in the operations of the Bank, as identified by the OCC (the “OCC Agreement”). In accordance with the terms of the OCC Agreement, the Bank has taken the following actions:

Article I of the OCC Agreement requires the formation of a compliance committee. The Bank established a Board Regulatory Compliance Committee (“Compliance Committee”) on January 26, 2012. The Compliance Committee meets and reports to the Bank’s Board of Directors on a monthly basis. The Compliance Committee’s reports to the Bank’s Board of Directors include information concerning the status of actions taken or needed to be taken to achieve full compliance with the OCC Agreement, the personnel of the Bank primarily responsible for implementing such action and the expected timing of such actions.

Article II of the OCC Agreement requires an updated strategic plan covering at least a three-year period. The Bank has adopted and submitted for approval to the OCC a three-year strategic plan, which includes, among other things, strategic goals, objectives, key financial performance indicators and risk tolerances, identification and prioritization of initiatives and opportunities including timeframes, a management employment and succession program, assignment of responsibilities and accountability for the strategic planning process, and a description of systems designed to monitor the Bank's progress in meeting the goals set forth in the strategic plan.

Article III of the OCC Agreement requires a capital plan and requires that the Bank achieve and maintain a Tier 1 Leverage Capital ratio of 9% and Total Risk-Based Capital ratio of 12% on or before May 25, 2012. The Bank’s Board of Directors has incorporated a three-year capital plan into the Bank’s strategic plan. The Bank successfully met the minimum capital requirements as of May 25, 2012. Notwithstanding that the Bank has achieved the required minimum capital ratios required by the OCC Agreement, the existence of a requirement to maintain a specific capital level in the OCC Agreement means that the Bank may not be deemed "well capitalized" under applicable banking regulations.

Table of Contents

In connection with the capital plan, the Bank has taken a number of steps to streamline its balance sheet and enhance its capital position, including:

Closed remaining out-of-state (CO, OR, UT and WA) SBA lending operations in February 2012.

Sold $10.1 million of guaranteed SBA loans in March 2012, generating a net gain of $973,000 and $2.5 million of guaranteed USDA loans in September 2012, generating a net gain of $277,000.

Prepaid $5 million of FHLB advances in March 2012 and another $17 million in April 2012.

Sold $4 million of investment securities in March 2012 at a net gain of $121,000.

Sold $3.0 million in REO and repossessed assets in 1Q12, $4.3 million in 2Q12 and $944,000 in 3Q12;

The Bank’s Board of Directors prepares a written evaluation of the Bank's performance against the capital plan on a quarterly basis, including a description of actions the Bank will take to address any shortcomings, which is documented in Board meeting minutes.

Article IV of the OCC Agreement requires the Bank to take steps to improve the management and oversight of the Bank. In that regard, the Bank has recently appointed several key officers, including the Bank’s appointment of its President and Chief Executive Officer, the appointment of a new Chief Credit Officer; and several other officers in key areas of the Bank. The Bank believes that these changes in management have facilitated the establishment of clearer lines of responsibility and authority. At its monthly meetings, the Compliance Committee reviews the Bank’s processes, personnel and control systems to ensure they are adequate.

Article V of the OCC Agreement requires the Bank to have a written program designed to ensure that the risks associated with the Bank’s loan portfolio are properly reflected and accounted for on the Bank’s books and records. The Bank’s Board of Directors has adopted such a written program, including with respect to risk grading and valuation of loans, that losses are charged off, as appropriate, and that current information is gathered and maintained regarding loans and collateral. The Bank has submitted written information regarding the foregoing to the OCC. The Bank’s Board of Directors and management will continue to review this program and take steps, as appropriate, to ensure the Bank complies with the requirements of the OCC Agreement.

Article VI of the OCC Agreement requires the Bank to have a written program to ensure compliance with applicable financial accounting standards. The Bank’s Board of Directors has adopted such a program, which includes specific measures for monitoring of loans, and identification of, and accounting for, loan impairment, loss recognition and troubled debt restructurings.

Article VII of the OCC Agreement requires that the Bank employ an external firm, acceptable to the OCC, to perform a semi-annual review of the Bank’s loan portfolio. The Bank has done so, and a review for the first three quarters of 2012 has been performed, and the preliminary findings from this review were considered by the Bank in performing an assessment of the Bank’s loan portfolio and related allowance for loan losses for the first three quarters of 2012.

Article VIII of the OCC Agreement requires the Bank to have a program to monitor assets which have been criticized by internal or external loan reviews or by the OCC. As so required, the Bank maintains a Criticized Assets Report, which reports the status of assets that have been identified by the Bank as evidencing a higher degree of risk of loss. The report is updated at least monthly.

Table of Contents

Article IX of the OCC Agreement requires the Bank to have a program for the maintenance of an adequate allowance for loan and lease losses. The Bank’s Board of Directors has adopted such a written plan, which is designed to ensure that the Bank’s allowance for loan and lease losses is consistent with all regulatory and financial accounting requirements. The Bank has submitted the plan to an external firm for review, and has also submitted a copy of the plan to the OCC.

Article X of the OCC Agreement requires the Bank to review and revise the Bank’s other real estate owned (OREO) section of the Bank’s loan policy. The Bank’s Board of Directors has adopted an updated policy concerning other real estate owned (OREO), which has been incorporated into the Bank’s three-year strategic plan. The OREO policy reflects updates to ensure compliance with applicable regulatory and financial accounting requirements, including procedures to ensure that periodic, appropriate appraisals and valuations are performed.

Article XI of the OCC Agreement requires the Bank to adhere to and implement the Bank’s liquidity risk management program. The Bank has adopted and implemented a liquidity risk management program, which is designed to address current and projected funding needs, ensure the Bank has sufficient liquidity to meet such needs, reduce reliance on high cost and wholesale funding sources, and comply with applicable restrictions on brokered deposits. The Bank’s Board of Directors reviews its compliance with this policy on a monthly basis, and provides quarterly reports to the OCC, as required by the OCC Agreement.

Article XII of the OCC Agreement requires that the Bank take steps to correct all violations of law, rules or regulations identified by the OCC. The Bank’s Board of Directors and Compliance Committee monitor the Bank’s progress on a monthly basis.

The OCC Agreement requires that the Bank furnish periodic written progress reports to the OCC detailing the form and manner of any actions taken to secure compliance with the OCC Agreement. The Bank has submitted such progress reports on a monthly basis, as required by the OCC Agreement.

While the Bank believes that it is in substantial compliance with the OCC Agreement, no assurance can be given that the OCC will concur with the Bank’s assessment. Failure to comply with the provisions of the OCC Agreement may subject the Bank to further regulatory action, including but not limited to, being deemed undercapitalized for purposes of the OCC Agreement, and the imposition by the OCC of prompt corrective action measures or civil money penalties.

Actions required of the Bank in response to the OCC Agreement have prompted the Bank to reassess future financial results and financial forecasts. In addition, financial results are subject to many external factors, including the interest rate environment, loan demand, deposit pricing and the economy as a whole, both locally and nationally. The Bank does not currently expect future financial results to be significantly impacted by specific responses to, or actions taken pursuant to, the OCC Agreement. However, the Bank is implementing a number of measures to mitigate any potential impact that such external factors could have on the Bank’s future financial results in the future, which measures have been incorporated into the Bank’s ongoing risk management and strategic planning processes. In that regard, the Bank does not currently expect credit quality trends to be significantly impacted by the actions required of the Bank pursuant to the OCC Agreement. However, in connection with the Bank’s risk management process, the allowance for loan losses requires continuous oversight to ensure its adequacy and responsiveness to changes in risk within the Bank’s credit portfolio. The Bank has not made changes to its methodology for calculating the allowance for loan losses in specific response to the OCC Agreement. However, from time to time, in connection with the Bank’s periodic evaluation of the credit portfolio and related allowance for loan losses methodology, the Bank may make changes as the Bank deems appropriate. Any significant changes to the Bank’s allowance for loan losses methodology will be appropriately disclosed, including any material impact to CWBC’s financial statements.

Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco

On April 23, 2012, the Company entered into a written agreement, (“FRB Agreement”) with the FRB. Without admitting or denying any of the alleged charges of unsafe or unsound banking practices and any violations of law, the Company has agreed to take the following corrective actions to address certain alleged violations of law and/or regulation:

Take appropriate steps to fully utilize the Company’s financial and managerial resources to serve as a source of strength to the Bank, including taking steps to ensure the Bank’s compliance with the OCC Agreement issued to it by the OCC, effective as of January 26, 2012, and any other supervisory action taken by the Bank’s federal and state regulators;

Refrain from declaring or paying dividends absent prior regulatory approval;

Refrain from taking dividends or any form of payment from the Bank representing a reduction in the Bank’s capital absent prior regulatory approval;

Refrain from incurring, increasing or guaranteeing any debt or repurchasing or redeeming any shares of its stock absent prior regulatory approval;

Develop and submit for regulatory approval a written capital plan to maintain sufficient capital on a consolidated basis, which capital plan should, at a minimum, address, consider and include current and future capital requirements on a consolidated basis and compliance with federal regulations and guidelines; the adequacy of the Bank’s capital, the sources and timing of funds necessary to fulfill future capital requirements; and the requirements of federal law that the Company serve as a source of strength to the Bank. The FRB accepted the capital plan on July 10, 2012;

Develop and submit for regulatory approval a cash flow projection of the Company’s planned sources and uses of cash for debt service, operating expenses and other purposes. The FRB accepted the cash flow projection on July 10, 2012;

Comply with appropriate regulatory notice and approval requirements when appointing any new directors or senior executive officers or changing the responsibilities of any senior executive officer and comply with the limitations on indemnification and severance payments set forth in Section 18(k) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (12 USC 1828(i)) and Part 359 of the FDIC’s implementing regulations; and

Furnish written progress reports to the FRB detailing the form and manner of any actions taken to secure compliance with the Regulatory Agreement.

In accordance with the FRB Agreement, the Company requested the Reserve Bank’s approval to pay the dividend due on May 15, 2012 and August 15, 2012 on the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock. That request was denied both times. Consequently, the Company did not pay the dividends and the dividends remain accrued as of September 30, 2012. As indicated in the FRB Agreement, all future dividends are subject to regulatory approval.

Since the appointment of a new Chief Executive Officer in November 2011 and Chief Credit Officer in July 2011, the Bank has maintained an intense focus on addressing the areas of concern that have been raised by the regulators. As a result, many of the prudent actions required in the OCC Agreement and FRB Agreement have been addressed, or will be addressed in the near future.

The Board and Management will continue to work closely with the OCC and FRB to achieve compliance with the terms of both agreements and improve the Company’s and Bank’s strength, security and performance. The Bank’s Total Risk-Based capital ratio was 13.89% and Tier-1 Leverage ratio was 9.84% at September 30, 2012. Under the OCC Agreement, ratios of 12% and 9%, respectively, are required to be maintained.

Critical Accounting Policies

A number of critical accounting policies are used in the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements. These policies relate to areas of the financial statements that involve estimates and judgments made by management. These include provision and allowance for loan losses and servicing rights. These critical accounting policies are discussed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 with a description of how the estimates are determined and an indication of the consequences of an over or under estimate.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income declined by $670,000 for 3Q12 compared to 3Q11. Total interest income declined by $1.3 million. This decline was primarily due to the decline in average earning assets from $614.4 million for 3Q11 to $522.8 million for 3Q12. The yield on interest earning assets increased from 5.66% for 3Q11 to 5.72% for 3Q12.

The decline in interest expense of $586,000 resulted from both lower rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities, 1.22% for 3Q12 compared to 1.49% for 3Q11, and a decline in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities from $530.8 million for 3Q11 to $458.7 million for 3Q12. The net impact of the increase in yields on interest-earning assets and the decline in rates on interest-bearing liabilities was an increase in the margin from 4.38% for 3Q11 to 4.65% for 3Q12.

The manufactured housing portfolio had increases in provisions and net charge-offs due to borrowers that filed Chapter 7 bankruptcy and received credit discharges from the bankruptcy court. These borrowers were individually evaluated for new loans which required charge-offs based on the value of the underlying collateral. As of September 30, 2012, $1.3 million was past due in this portfolio and the allowance for loan losses is $6.0 million on the $180.1 million portfolio. The balance of troubled debt restructurings for this portfolio at September 30, 2012 is $6.3 million. The Company monitors this portfolio to insure adequate support for the collateral.

The percentage of net nonaccrual loans to the total loan portfolio has increased to 7.0% as of September 30, 2012 from 5.2% at December 31, 2011.

The allowance for loan losses compared to net nonaccrual loans has declined to 45.2% as of September 30, 2012 from 53.3% as of December 31, 2011.

Total past dues declined to $13.7 million as of September 30, 2012 from $24.9 million as of December 31, 2011. Of these past due amounts, $6.0 million and $9.6 million were guaranteed by the SBA as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2012 respectively.

Non-Interest Income

Non-interest income includes gains from sale of loans, loan document fees, service charges on deposit accounts, loan servicing fees and other revenues not derived from interest on earning assets. Total non-interest income increased by $256,000, or 32.0%, for 3Q12 compared to 3Q11, mostly due to an increase in gains from loan sales, net.

Non-Interest Expenses

The decrease in non-interest expenses of $1.7 million, or 24.7%, for 3Q12 compared to 3Q11 primarily due to the $1.2 million decrease in the loss on sale and writedowns of foreclosed real estate and repossessed assets from $1.4 million in 3Q11 to $189,000 in 3Q12.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income declined by $1.7 million for the first nine months of 2012 compared to the same period in 2011. Total interest income declined by $3.4 million. Of this decline, $3.2 million was due to the decline in average earning assets from $622.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 to $553.4 million for the same period in 2012 and $157,000 was due to the decline in rates.

The decline in interest expense of $1.6 million resulted from both lower rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities, 1.3% for the first nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to 1.6% for the same period in 2011, and a decline in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities from $544.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 to $488.7 million for the same period in 2012.

Non-Interest Income

Non-interest income includes gains from sale of loans, loan document fees, service charges on deposit accounts, loan servicing fees and other revenues not derived from interest on earning assets. Total non-interest income increased by $1.1 million, or 46.9%, for the first nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011, primarily due to the sale of $10.1 million in SBA loans with the resulting gain of $973,000 during 2Q12 and the sale of $4.0 million of investment securities resulting in a gain of $121,000 during 1Q12.

Non-Interest Expenses

The decrease in non-interest expenses of $1.3 million, or 7.1%, for the first nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011 is primarily due to a $1.0 million decrease in loss on sale and writedown of foreclosed real estate and repossessed assets for the first nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011 and the FHLB advance prepayment fee of $431,000 during 2Q12.

Table of Contents

In calculating interest rates and differentials:

Average yields and rates are derived by dividing interest income by the average balances of interest-earning assets and by dividing interest expense by the average balances of interest-bearing liabilities for the periods indicated. Amounts outstanding are averages of daily balances during the applicable periods.

Nonaccrual loans are included in the average balance of loans outstanding.

Net interest income is the difference between the interest and fees earned on loans and investments and the interest expense paid on deposits and other liabilities. The amount by which interest income will exceed interest expense depends on the volume or balance of earning assets compared to the volume or balance of interest-bearing deposits and liabilities and the interest rate earned on those interest-earning assets compared to the interest rate paid on those interest-bearing liabilities.

Net interest margin is net interest income expressed as a percentage of average earning assets. It is used to measure the difference between the average rate of interest earned on assets and the average rate of interest that must be paid on liabilities used to fund those assets. To maintain its net interest margin, the Company must manage the relationship between interest earned and paid.

Financial Condition

Average total assets decreased by $66.2 million, or 10.0%, to $593.1 million at September 30, 2012 compared to $659.2 million at September 30, 2011. The reduction in average total assets is primarily attributed to the sale of $10.1 million of guaranteed SBA loans and $2.5 million of guaranteed USDA loans, the sale of $4.0 million of investment securities, the sale of $8.2 million of REO and repossessed assets, and the use of excess cash to prepay $22.0 million of FHLB advances during the first nine months of 2012. Average total equity declined by 18.8% to $50.8 million at September 30, 2012 from $62.6 million at September 30, 2011. Average total gross loans at September 30, 2012 decreased by $64.5 million, or 11.1%, to $511.6 million from $576.1 million at September 30, 2011. Average deposits also decreased from $522.2 million at September 30, 2011 to $489.9 million as of September 30, 2012.

The book value per common share was $5.93 at September 30, 2012 and $5.94 at December 31, 2011.

Credit Quality

The overall credit quality of the loan portfolio has improved as reflected in the decline in past due loans from $24.9 million at December 31, 2011 to $13.7 million at September 30, 2012. The Company experienced these declines across all loan categories with the most significant reductions in the SBA portfolio of $2.9 million, manufactured housing of $2.4 million, commercial of $1.4 million and 504 1st TD loans of $1.3 million.

While the past due loans in the manufactured housing portfolio declined, nonaccrual, impaired and restructured loans increased $5.6 million, $11.0 million and $5.2 million, respectively. Despite the uptick, the Company believes the credit quality in the manufactured housing portfolio has remained stable. In early Q1 of 2012, $4.7 million of manufactured housing loans were transferred to troubled debt restructured and impaired status due to borrower bankruptcy filings. The majority of these loans were balloon payment or interest-only loans and were current as to payment status at the time. As of September 30, 2012, $2.8 million of these loans have been rewritten as fifteen-year, fully-amortizing loans with the borrower at market terms and remain current under the terms of the new note. The increases in manufactured housing impaired, nonaccrual and restructured loans were partially attributable to this group of loans. Additionally, the manufactured housing portfolio has been impacted overall by the Company’s identification and downgrade of potential problem loans and enhanced collection efforts. This identification and downgrade of manufactured housing loans also contributed to increased charge-offs for this portfolio which were $3.1 million for the first nine months of 2012 compared to $1.6 million for the same period of 2011.

Impaired loans in the commercial real estate portfolio have declined by $11.2 million to $20.4 million as of September 30, 2012. Of this decline, $4.8 million was due to upgrades while the remainder resulted from paydowns and charge-offs. As with other portfolios, commercial real estate experienced a decline in past due loans of $375,000 while net charge-offs decreased to $1.6 million for the first nine months of 2012 compared to $3.0 million for the same period of 2011.

See “ITEM 1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED), NOTE 4. LOANS HELD FOR INVESTMENT.”

Nonaccrual, Past Due and Restructured Loans

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal and/or interest under the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and/or interest payments. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays or payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays or payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis. When determining the possibility of impairment, management considers the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower's prior payment record and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. For collateral-dependent loans, the Company uses the fair value of collateral method to measure impairment. All other loans are measured for impairment based on the present value of future cash flows.

Generally, loans are considered delinquent when payment is 10 to 15 days past due and late notices are automatically mailed out the first day past due. At 10 to 15 days past due, the Company makes contact with the borrowers telephonically. At 30 days past due, more aggressive collection procedures are applied including, but not limited to, sending demand letters and, in some cases, notices of default. If a severe delinquent status develops, legal action and foreclosure procedures are initiated.

The following schedule reflects recorded investment at the dates indicated in certain types of loans:

	September 30,			December 31,
	2012			2011
	(dollars in thousands)
Nonaccrual loans	$	40,838		$	42,343
SBA guaranteed portion		(7,518	)		(13,673	)
Nonaccrual loans, net	$	33,320		$	28,670

Troubled debt restructured loans, gross	$	26,623		$	17,885
Loans 30 through 89 days past due with interest accruing	$	267		$	3,114
Allowance for loan losses to gross loans held for investment		3.65	%		3.24	%

The accrual of interest is discontinued when substantial doubt exists as to collectability of the loan; generally at the time the loan is 90 days delinquent. Any unpaid but accrued interest is reversed at that time. Thereafter, interest income is usually no longer recognized on the loan. Interest income may be recognized on impaired loans to the extent they are not past due by 90 days. Interest on nonaccrual loans is accounted for on the cash-basis or cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual. Loans are returned to accrual status when all of the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.

CWB generally repurchases the guaranteed portion of SBA loans from investors when those loans become past due 120 days. After the foreclosure and collection process is complete, the SBA reimburses CWB for this principal balance. Therefore, although these balances do not earn interest during this period, they generally do not result in a loss of principal to CWB.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity Management

The Company has established policies as well as analytical tools to manage liquidity. Proper liquidity management ensures that sufficient funds are available to meet normal operating demands in addition to unexpected customer demand for funds, such as high levels of deposit withdrawals or increased loan demand, in a timely and cost effective manner. The most important factor in the preservation of liquidity is maintaining public confidence that facilitates the retention and growth of core deposits. Ultimately, public confidence is gained through profitable operations, sound credit quality and a strong capital position. The Company’s liquidity management is viewed from a long-term and short-term perspective, as well as from an asset and liability perspective. Management monitors liquidity through regular reviews of maturity profiles, funding sources and loan and deposit forecasts to minimize funding risk. The Company has asset/liability committees (“ALCO”) at the Board and Bank management level to review asset/liability management and liquidity issues.

Table of Contents

CWB has a blanket lien credit line with the FHLB. Advances are collateralized in the aggregate by CWB’s eligible loans and securities. Total FHLB advances were $34.0 million and $61.0 million at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, borrowed at fixed rates. In March and April 2012, the Bank prepaid $5.0 million and $17.0 million, respectively, of FHLB advances. At September 30, 2012, CWB had securities and loans pledged to the FHLB with a carrying value of $24.8 million and $26.9 million, respectively. At December 31, 2011, CWB had securities and loans pledged with a carrying value of $38.9 million and $58.2 million, respectively. Total FHLB interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 was $852,000 and $1.2 million, respectively. At September 30, 2012, CWB had $63.5 million available for additional borrowing.

CWB has established a credit line with the FRB. Advances are collateralized in the aggregate by eligible loans for up to 28 days. There were no outstanding FRB advances as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011. CWB had $69.3 million in borrowing capacity as of September 30, 2012.

CWB also maintains four federal funds purchased lines for a total borrowing capacity of $23.5 million. Of the $23.5 million in borrowing capacity, two of the lines for $10.0 million require the Company to furnish acceptable collateral.

The Company has not experienced disintermediation and does not believe this is a likely occurrence, although there is significant competition for core deposits. The liquidity ratio of the Company was 19.5% at September 30, 2012 and 20% at December 31, 2011. The Company’s liquidity ratio fluctuates in conjunction with loan funding demands. The liquidity ratio consists of the sum of cash and due from banks, deposits in other financial institutions, available for sale investments, federal funds sold and loans held for sale, divided by total assets.

CWBC’s routine funding requirements primarily consist of certain operating expenses, TARP preferred dividends and interest payments on the convertible debentures. Normally, CWBC obtains funding to meet its obligations from dividends collected from its subsidiary and has the capability to issue debt securities. Federal banking laws regulate the amount of dividends that may be paid by banking subsidiaries without prior approval. CWBC anticipates that for the foreseeable future, it will fund its expenses, including TARP preferred dividends, to the extent declared and paid, and interest payments on the debenture from its own funds and will not receive dividends from the Bank. See “ITEM 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES” herein.

Capital Resources

The Company (on a consolidated basis) and CWB are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the Federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory - and possibly additional discretionary - actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s and CWB’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and CWB must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Company’s and CWB’s assets, liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Company’s and CWB’s capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors. Prompt corrective action provisions are not applicable to bank holding companies.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act (“FDICIA”) contains rules as to the legal and regulatory environment for insured depository institutions, including increased supervision by the federal regulatory agencies, increased reporting requirements for insured institutions and regulations concerning internal controls, accounting and operations. The prompt corrective action regulations of FDICIA define specific capital categories based on the institutions’ capital ratios. The capital categories, in declining order, are “well capitalized”, “adequately capitalized”, “undercapitalized”, “significantly undercapitalized” and “critically undercapitalized”. To be considered “well capitalized”, an institution must have a core or leverage capital ratio of at least 5%, a Tier I risk-based capital ratio of at least 6%, and a total risk-based capital ratio of at least 10%. Tier I risk-based capital is, primarily, common stock and retained earnings, net of goodwill and other intangible assets.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and CWB to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the following table) of total and Tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined) and of Tier 1 leverage capital (as defined) to adjusted average assets (as defined).

Table of Contents

The Company’s and CWB’s actual capital amounts and ratios as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 are presented in the table below:

(dollars in thousands)	Total Capital		Tier 1 Capital		Risk- Weighted Assets		Adjusted Average Assets		Total Risk- Based Capital Ratio			Tier 1 Risk- Based Capital Ratio			Tier 1 Leverage Ratio

Well capitalized ratios										10.00	%		6.00	%		5.00	%
Adequately capitalized ratios										8.00	%		4.00	%		4.00	%

The OCC Agreement specified that the Bank shall achieve within 120 days and thereafter maintain the following minimum capital ratios:

Tier 1 capital at least equal to 9.00% of adjusted total assets, and

Total risk-based capital at least equal to 12.00% of risk weighted assets

Due to the OCC Agreement, the requirement to achieve and maintain a specific capital level means that the Bank may not be deemed to be “well capitalized”.

Supervision and Regulation

Banking is a complex, highly regulated industry. The banking regulatory system is designed to maintain a safe and sound banking system, to protect depositors and the FDIC insurance fund, and to facilitate the conduct of sound monetary policy. In addition of these goals, Congress and the states have created several largely autonomous regulatory agencies and enacted numerous laws that govern banks, bank holding companies and the banking industry. Consequently, the Company's growth and earnings performance, as well as that of CWB, may be affected not only by management decisions and general economic conditions, but also by the requirements of applicable state and federal statutes and regulations and the policies of various governmental regulatory authorities, including the FRB, FDIC and the OCC. For a detailed discussion of the regulatory scheme governing the Company and CWB, please see the discussion in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 under the caption "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation – Supervision and Regulation."

ITEM 3.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Not applicable.

ITEM 4.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e). Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s management, which includes the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that information relating to the Company (including its consolidated subsidiary) required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms.

Disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and implemented, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving an entity’s disclosure objectives. The likelihood of achieving such objections is affected by limitations inherent in disclosure controls and procedures. These include the fact that human judgment in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns in internal control can occur because of human failures such as simple errors or mistakes or intentional circumvention of the established process.

The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated whether there was any change in internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2012 and determined that there was no change in internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2012 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II –

OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Company is involved in various litigation of a routine nature that is being handled and defended in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, based in part on consultation with legal counsel, the resolution of these litigation matters is not likely to have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

ITEM 1A.

RISK FACTORS

Investing in our common stock involves various risks which are particular to our Company, our industry and our market area. Several risk factors that may have a material adverse impact on our business, operating results and financial condition are discussed in Item 1A of Part I of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. There has been no material change in the Company’s risk factors as previously disclosed in the Company’s Form 10-K, with the exception of an update to our risk factor relating to recent regulatory action, as described below.

Recent Regulatory Action

On January 26, 2012, the Bank, entered into the OCC Agreement. The OCC Agreement requires the Bank to take certain corrective actions to address certain deficiencies in the operations of the Bank, as identified by the OCC. The requirements of the OCC Agreement are detailed in “ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS,” and include, among other items, the following:

●

Achieving on or before May 25, 2012, and maintaining a Tier 1 Leverage Capital ratio of 9% and Total Risk-Based Capital ratio of 12%.

●

Writing a 3-year strategic plan, which incorporates the capital component.

Table of Contents

●

Continuing to improve the Bank’s credit quality and administration thereof, including the monitoring of and proper accounting for problem assets and the allowance for loan losses.

●

Continuing to adhere to and implement the Bank’s liquidity risk management program.

●

Organizing a compliance committee to monitor and coordinate the Bank’s compliance with and adherence to the provisions of the Agreement.

On April 23, 2012, the Company entered into the FRB Agreement with the Reserve Bank. The FRB Agreement requires the Company to take certain actions than ensure compliance with the OCC Agreement and that the Company remains a source of financial strength for the Bank. In addition to other provisions which are detailed herein under “ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS," the FRB Agreement prohibits the Company from paying any dividends without prior regulatory approval. As required by the FRB Agreement, the Company requested the Reserve Bank’s approval to pay the dividends due on May 15, 2012 and August 15, 2012, on the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock. These requests were denied by the FRB and, consequently, the Company did not pay those dividends. As indicated in the FRB Agreement, all future dividends are subject to regulatory approval. As discussed in “ITEM 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES,” while the deferral of the dividends does not constitute an event of default under the Series A Preferred Stock, in the event the dividends payable on the Series A Preferred Stock have not been paid for the equivalent of six or more quarters, whether or not consecutive, the number of Directors of the Company will automatically be increased by two and the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, together with any then outstanding parity stock, will have the right to elect those Directors.

Failure to comply with the provisions of the OCC Agreement and/or the FRB Agreement may subject the Bank to further regulatory action including but not limited to, being deemed undercapitalized for regulatory purposes. Additional risks associated with compliance with the Agreements include, but are not limited to:

●

a reduction in our ability to generate or originate revenue-producing assets as a result of compliance with heightened capital standards;

●

an increase in the cost of operations due to greater regulatory oversight, supervision and examination of banks and bank holding companies, and higher deposit insurance premiums;

●

a limitation on our ability to expand consumer product and service offerings due to anticipated stricter consumer protection laws and regulations.

Accordingly, failure to comply with the provisions of the OCC Agreement and/or the FRB Agreement could have a material adverse effect on the Company.

ITEM 3.

DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES

On December 17, 2008, the Company issued 15,600 shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock. The terms of the Series A Preferred Stock provides for the payment of quarterly cumulative dividends at the rate of 5% per year for the first five years and then at the rate of 9% thereafter. Under the terms of the FRB Agreement by and between the Company and the Reserve Bank, the Company may not pay dividends without the prior approval of the Reserve Bank. The Company has paid all the quarterly dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock through February 15, 2012, therefore, the Company is not in arrears on any dividends payable as of February 15, 2012. While the Company declared and accrued for its May 15, 2012 and August 15, 2012 dividends, the Company’s request to the FRB, pursuant to the requirements under a written agreement with the FRB, to pay the dividends was denied by the FRB and, as such, the Company has not paid the dividends. The aggregate amount of the dividends that would have been paid on May 15, 2012 and August 15, 2012 on the Series A Preferred Stock was $388,000. The deferral of the dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock is permitted under its terms and does not constitute an event of default. In the event that dividends payable on the Series A Preferred Stock have not been paid for the equivalent of six or more quarters, whether or not consecutive, the Company's authorized number of Directors will be automatically increased by two and the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, voting together with holders of any then outstanding voting parity stock, will have the right to elect those Directors at the Company's next annual meeting of shareholders or at a special meeting of shareholders called for that purpose.
