For the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accompanying condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements and notes thereto have
been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission for Form 10-Q and conform to practices within the banking industry and include all of
the information and disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America for interim financial reporting. The results of operations for the six months
ended June 30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. These
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements, accounting
policies and financial notes thereto included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In the
opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements
reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments), which are necessary for
a fair presentation of financial results for the interim periods presented. A summary of the
significant accounting policies consistently applied in the preparation of the accompanying
consolidated financial statements follows.
Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
CVB Financial Corp. (the Company) and its wholly owned subsidiary: Citizens Business Bank (the
Bank) after elimination of all intercompany transactions and balances. The Company also has
three inactive subsidiaries: CVB Ventures, Inc.; Chino Valley Bancorp; and Orange National Bancorp.
The Company is also the common stockholder of CVB Statutory Trust I, CVB Statutory Trust II, CVB
Statutory Trust III and FCB Trust II. CVB Statutory Trusts I and II were created in December 2003
and CVB Statutory Trust III was created in January 2006 to issue trust preferred securities in
order to raise capital for the Company. The Company acquired FCB Trust II through the acquisition
of First Coastal Bancshares (FCB). In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board
Interpretation No. 46R Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (FIN No. 46R), these trusts
do not meet the criteria for consolidation.
Nature of Operations The Companys primary operations are related to traditional banking
activities, including the acceptance of deposits and the lending and investing of money through the
operations of the Bank. The Bank also provides automobile and equipment leasing to customers
through its Citizens Financial Services Division and trust services to customers through its
CitizensTrust Division. The Banks customers consist primarily of small to mid-sized businesses and
individuals located in San Bernardino County, Riverside County, Orange County, Los Angeles County,
Madera County, Fresno County, Tulare County, Kern County and San Joaquin County. The Bank operates
41 Business Financial Centers and 5 Commercial Banking Centers with its headquarters located in the
city of Ontario.
The Companys operating business units have been combined into two main segments: (i) Business
Financial and Commercial Banking Centers and (ii) Treasury. Business Financial and Commercial
Banking Centers (branches) are comprised of loans, deposits, and products and services the Bank
offers to the majority of its customers. The other segment is Treasury, which manages the
investment portfolio of the Company. The Companys remaining centralized functions and eliminations
of inter-segment amounts have been aggregated and included in Other.
The internal reporting of the Company considers all business units. Funds are allocated to
each business unit based on its need to fund assets (use of funds) or its need to invest funds
(source of funds).
Net income is determined based on the actual net income of the business unit plus the
allocated income or
8
Table of Contents
expense based on the sources and uses of funds for each business unit.
Non-interest income and non-interest expense are those items directly attributable to a business
unit.
Cash and due from banks Cash on hand, cash items in the process of collection, and amounts
due from correspondent banks and the Federal Reserve Bank are included in Cash and due from banks.
Investment Securities The Company classifies as held-to-maturity those debt securities that
the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity. Securities classified as
trading are those securities that are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them
in the near term. All other debt and equity securities are classified as available-for-sale.
Securities held-to-maturity are accounted for at cost and adjusted for amortization of premiums and
accretion of discounts. Trading securities are accounted for at fair value with the unrealized
gains and losses being included in current earnings. Available-for-sale securities are accounted
for at fair value, with the net unrealized gains and losses, net of income tax effects, presented
as a separate component of stockholders equity. Realized gains and losses on sales of securities
are recognized in earnings at the time of sale and are determined on a specific-identification
basis. Purchase premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income using the effective-yield
method over the terms of the securities. For mortgage-backed securities (MBS), the amortization
or accretion is based on estimated average lives of the securities. The lives of these securities
can fluctuate based on the amount of prepayments received on the underlying collateral of the
securities. The Companys investment in Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) stock is carried at cost.
At each reporting date, securities are assessed to determine whether there is an
other-than-temporary impairment. Effective April 1, 2009, the Company adopted FSP FAS 115-2,
Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments, which amended SFAS No. 115,
Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, by changing the amount of an
other-than-temporary impairment that is recognized in earnings when there are credit losses on a
debt security for which management does not intend to sell and for which it is more-likely-than-not
that the Company will not have to sell prior to recovery of the noncredit impairment. In those
situations, the portion of the total impairment that is attributable to the credit loss would be
recognized in earnings, and the remaining difference between the debt securitys amortized cost and
its fair value would be included in other comprehensive income.
Loans and Lease Finance Receivables Loans and lease finance receivables are reported at the
principal amount outstanding, less deferred net loan origination fees. Interest on loans and lease
finance receivables is credited to income based on the principal amount outstanding. Interest
income is not recognized on loans and lease finance receivables when collection of interest is
deemed by management to be doubtful. In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into
commitments to extend credit to its customers. These commitments are not reflected in the
accompanying consolidated financial statements. As of June 30, 2009, the Company had entered into
commitments with certain customers amounting to $583.5 million compared to $642.7 million at
December 31, 2008. Letters of credit at June 30, 2009, and December 31, 2008, were $63.2 million
and $63.1 million, respectively.
The Bank receives collateral to support loans, lease finance receivables, and commitments to
extend credit for which collateral is deemed necessary. The most significant categories of
collateral are real estate, principally commercial and industrial income-producing properties, real
estate mortgages, and assets utilized in agribusiness.
Nonrefundable fees and direct costs associated with the origination or purchase of loans are
deferred and netted against outstanding loan balances. The deferred net loan fees and costs are
recognized in interest income over the loan term using the effective-yield method.
Provision and Allowance for Credit Losses The determination of the balance in the allowance
for credit losses is based on an analysis of the loan and lease finance receivables portfolio using
a systematic methodology and reflects an amount that, in managements judgment, is adequate to
provide for probable
9

credit losses inherent in the portfolio, after giving consideration to the
character of the loan portfolio, current economic conditions, past credit loss experience, and such
other factors that would deserve current recognition in estimating inherent credit losses. The
estimate is reviewed quarterly by the Board of Directors and management and periodically by various
regulatory entities and, as adjustments become necessary, they are reported in earnings in the
periods in which they become known. The provision for credit losses is charged to expense. During
the first six months of 2009, we recorded a provision for credit losses of $42.0 million. The
allowance for credit losses was $74.8 million as of June 30, 2009.
In addition to the allowance for credit losses, the Company also has a reserve for undisbursed
commitments for loans and letters of credit. This reserve is carried in the liabilities section of
the balance sheet in other liabilities. Provisions to this reserve are included in other expense.
For the first six months of 2009, the Company recorded an increase of $1.4 million in the reserve
for undisbursed commitments. As of June 30, 2009, the balance in this reserve was $5.5 million.
A loan for which collection of principal and interest according to its original terms is not
probable is considered to be impaired. The Companys policy is to record a specific valuation
allowance, which is included in the allowance for credit losses, or charge off that portion of an
impaired loan that exceeds its fair value. Fair value is usually based on the value of underlying
collateral.
At June 30, 2009, the Company had impaired loans of $53.8 million. Of this amount, $17.4
million consisted of non-accrual residential construction and land loans, $21.3 million in
non-accrual commercial construction loans, $4.6 million of non-accrual single family mortgage
loans, $7.0 million of non-accrual commercial real estate loans, $859,000 of non-accrual commercial
and industrial loans, $115,000 of non-accrual consumer loans and one loan of $2.5 million whose
terms were modified in a troubled debt restructure. The impaired loans of $53.8 million, net of
$21.9 million in charge-offs, are supported by collateral with a fair value less selling costs, net
of prior liens, of $52.7 million. The amount of specific reserve for these loans was $1.0 million
at June 30, 2009. At December 31, 2008, the Bank had classified as impaired, loans with a balance
of $20.2 million.
Premises and Equipment Premises and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated
depreciation, which is provided for in amounts sufficient to relate the cost of depreciable assets
to operations over their estimated service lives using the straight-line method. Properties under
capital lease and leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of estimated economic lives
of 15 years or the initial terms of the leases. Estimated lives are 3 to 5 years for computer and
equipment, 5 to 7 years for furniture, fixtures and equipment, and 15 to 40 years for buildings and
improvements. Long-lived assets are reviewed periodically for impairment when events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The existence of impairment
is based on undiscounted cash flows. To the extent impairment exists, the impairment is calculated
as the difference in fair value of assets and their carrying value. The impairment loss, if any,
would be recorded in noninterest expense.
Other Real Estate Owned Other real estate owned (OREO) represents real estate acquired
through foreclosure in satisfaction of commercial and real estate loans and is stated at fair
value, minus estimated costs to sell (fair value at time of foreclosure). Loan balances in excess
of fair value of the real estate acquired at the date of acquisition are charged against the
allowance for credit losses. Any subsequent operating expenses or income, reduction in estimated
values, and gains or losses on disposition of such properties are charged to current operations.
Business Combinations and Intangible Assets The Company has engaged in the acquisition of
financial institutions and the assumption of deposits and purchase of assets from other financial
institutions
in its market area. The Company has paid premiums on certain transactions, and such premiums
are recorded as intangible assets, in the form of goodwill or other intangible assets. In
accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142,
goodwill is not being amortized whereas identifiable intangible assets with finite lives are
amortized over their useful lives. On an annual basis, the Company tests goodwill and intangible
assets for impairment.
10
Table of Contents
The Company completed its annual impairment test as of July 1, 2009;
there was no impairment of goodwill.
At June 30, 2009 goodwill was $55.1 million. As of June 30, 2009, intangible assets that
continue to be subject to amortization include core deposit premiums of $9.5 million (net of $17.6
million of accumulated amortization). Amortization expense for such intangible assets was $1.5
million for the six months ended June 30, 2009. Estimated amortization expense, for the remainder
of 2009 is expected to be $1.5 million. Estimated amortization expense, for the succeeding five
fiscal years is $2.9 million for year one, $2.8 million for year two, $1.6 million for year three,
$627,000 for year four and $26,000 for year five. The weighted average remaining life of intangible
assets is approximately 2.6 years.
Bank Owned Life Insurance The Bank invests in Bank-Owned Life Insurance (BOLI). BOLI
involves the purchasing of life insurance by the Bank on a select group of employees. The Bank is
the owner and beneficiary of these policies. BOLI is recorded as an asset at cash surrender value.
Increases in the cash value of these policies, as well as insurance proceeds received, are recorded
in other non-interest income and are not subject to income tax.
As of January 1, 2008, the Company adopted EITF 06-4, Accounting for Deferred Compensation
and Postretirement Benefit Aspects of Endorsement Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements. EITF
06-4 requires that for a split-dollar life insurance arrangement, an employer should recognize a
liability for future benefits in accordance with SFAS 106, Employers Accounting for
Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions or APB Opinion No. 12, Omnibus Opinion 1967. The
adoption did not have a material effect on the Companys consolidated financial position or results
of operations. The cumulative effect of the adoption was recorded in equity.
Income Taxes Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred
tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to
differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and
their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and
liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years
in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on
deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period
that includes the enactment date. Future realization of deferred tax assets ultimately depends on
the existence of sufficient taxable income of the appropriate character (for example, ordinary
income or capital gain) within the carryback or carryforward periods available under the tax law.
Based on historical and future expected taxable earnings and available strategies, the Company
considers the future realization of these deferred tax assets more likely than not.
The Company adopted FIN 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. FIN 48 clarifies the
accounting for uncertainty in tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return and
provides that the tax effects from an uncertain tax position can be recognized in the financial
statements only if, based on its merits, the position is more likely than not to be sustained on
audit by the taxing authorities. Interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions are
recorded as part of other operating expense.
Earnings per Common Share The Company calculates earnings per common share (EPS) using the
two-class method in accordance with FSP EITF 03-6-1, Determining Whether Instruments Granted in
Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities (FSP 03-6-1), effective January 1,
2009 with retrospective application to all prior-period earnings per share data presented. There
was no impact to prior period earnings per share. The two-class method requires the Company to
present EPS as
if all of the earnings for the period are distributed to common shareholders and any
participating securities, regardless of whether any actual dividends or distributions are made.
Under FSP 03-6-1, all outstanding unvested share-based payment awards that contain rights to
non-forfeitable dividends are considered participating securities. The Company grants restricted
shares under the 2008 Equity Incentive Plan that qualify as participating securities. Restricted
shares issued under this plan are entitled to dividends at the same rate as common stock.

Table of Contents
Basic earnings per common share are computed by dividing income allocated to common
stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period. The
computation of diluted earnings per common share considers the number of tax-effected shares
issuable upon the assumed exercise of outstanding common stock options. Share and per share amounts
have been retroactively restated to give effect to all stock dividends and splits. The number of
shares outstanding at June 30, 2009 was 83,326,511. The tables below presents the reconciliation
of earnings per share for the periods indicated.

Stock-Based Compensation At June 30, 2009, the Company has three stock-based employee
compensation plans, which are described more fully in Note 15 in the Companys Annual Report on
Form 10-K.
Derivative Financial Instruments The Company accounts for derivatives in accordance with
SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended and
interpreted, and SFAS 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.
Pursuant to the requirements of SFAS No. 133, all derivative instruments, including certain
derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, are to be recognized on the consolidated
balance sheet at fair value. For derivatives designated as fair value hedges, changes in the fair
value of the derivative and the hedged item related to the hedged risk are recognized in earnings.
Changes in fair value of derivatives designated and accounted for as cash flow
hedges, to the extent they are effective as hedges, are recorded in Other Comprehensive
Income, net of deferred taxes and are subsequently reclassified to earnings when the hedged
transaction affects earnings. Any hedge ineffectiveness would be recognized in the income statement
line item pertaining to the hedged item.
Statement of Cash Flows Cash and cash equivalents as reported in the statements of cash
flows include cash and due from banks. Cash flows from loans and deposits are reported net.
CitizensTrust This division provides trust, investment and brokerage related services, as
well as financial, estate and business succession planning services. The Company maintains funds
in trust for customers. CitizensTrust has approximately $1.6 billion in assets under
administration, including $750.4
12
Table of Contents
million in assets under management. The amount of these funds and
the related liability have not been recorded in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets
because they are not assets or liabilities of the Bank or Company, with the exception of any funds
held on deposit with the Bank.
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements The preparation of financial
statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates. A material estimate that is particularly
susceptible to significant change in the near term relates to the determination of the allowance
for credit losses. Other significant estimates which may be subject to change include fair value
disclosures, impairment of investments and goodwill, and valuation of deferred tax assets, other
intangibles and OREO.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements On July 1, 2009, the FASB issued Statement No. 168, The
FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles, which will become the exclusive authoritative reference for nongovernmental U.S. GAAP
for use in financial statement. The contents of the Codification will carry the same level of
authority, eliminating the four-level GAAP hierarchy previously set forth in Statement 162. The
Codification will supersede all existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other
non-grandfathered, non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification will become
non-authoritative. SFAS No. 168 will be effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending
after September 15, 2009. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 168 to have a
material effect on the Companys consolidated financial position or results of operations.
On May 28, 2009, the FASB issued Statement No. 165, Subsequent Events, which requires
management to evaluate subsequent events through the date the financial statements are either
issued or available to be issued. Companies are required to disclose the date through which
subsequent events have been evaluated. SFAS No. 165 is effective for interim or annual financial
periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of SFAS 165 did not have a material effect on the
Companys consolidated financial position or results of operations.
Shareholder Rights Plan The Company has a shareholder rights plan designed to maximize
long-term value and to protect shareholders from improper takeover tactics and takeover bids which
are not fair to all shareholders. In accordance with the plan, preferred share purchase rights were
distributed as a dividend at the rate of one right to purchase one one-thousandth of a share of the
Companys Series A Participating Preferred Stock at an initial exercise price of $50.00 (subject to
adjustment as described in the terms of the plan) upon the occurrence of certain triggering events.
For additional information concerning this plan, see Note 11 to Consolidated Financial Statements,
Commitments and Contingencies contained in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2008.
Other Contingencies In the ordinary course of business, the Company becomes involved in
litigation. Based upon the Companys internal records and discussions with legal counsel, the
Company records reserves for estimates of the probable outcome of all cases brought against them.
At June 30, 2009, the Company does not have any litigation reserves and is not aware of any
material pending legal action or complaints asserted against the Company.

The tables above show the Companys investment securities gross unrealized losses and fair
value by investment category and length of time that individual securities have been in a
continuous unrealized loss position, at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008. The Company has
reviewed individual securities to determine whether a decline in fair value below the amortized
cost is other-than-temporary.
The following summarizes our analysis of these securities and the unrealized losses. This
assessment was based on the following factors: i) the length of the time and the extent to which
the fair value has been
less than amortized cost; ii) adverse condition specifically related to the security, an
industry, or a geographic area and whether or not the Company expects to recover the entire
amortized cost, iii) historical and implied volatility of the fair value of the security; iv) the
payment structure of the security and the likelihood of the issuer being able to make payments in
the future; v.) failure of the issuer of the security to make scheduled interest or principal
payments, vi) any changes to the rating of the security by a rating agency, and vii) recoveries or
additional declines in fair value subsequent to the balance sheet date.
CMO Held-to-Maturity We have one investment security classified as held-to-maturity. This
security was issued by Countrywide Financial and is collateralized by Alt-A mortgages. The
mortgages are primarily fixed-rate, 30-year loans, originated in early 2006 with average FICO
scores of 715 and an average LTV of 71% at origination. The security was a senior security in the
securitization, was rated triple AAA at origination and was supported by subordinate securities.
This security is classified as held-to-maturity as we have both the intent and ability to hold this
debt security to maturity as the amount of the security, $6.3 million, is not significant to our
liquidity needs. We acquired this security in February 2008 at a price of 98.25%. The significant
decline in the fair value of the security first appeared in August
15
Table of Contents
2008 as the current financial
crisis in the markets occurred and the market for securities collateralized by Alt-A mortgages
diminished.
As of June 30, 2009, the unrealized loss on this security was $2.0 million and the fair value
quoted on the security was 68% of the current par value. The security is rated non-investment
grade. We evaluated the security for an other than temporary decline in fair value as of June 30,
2009 under the requirements of FSP 115-2 and FSP 124-2. We believe the decline in fair value below
cost on the security is not other than temporary based on a detailed model of the securitization
performed by an outside third party which indicates we will receive all of our book value on the
security based on what we believe are the probable assumptions related to the housing market, the
losses expected on the underlying mortgages, and the credit support available to the security, as
well as, all other information available on the security and underlying collateral. Because the
Company does not intend to sell this investment and it is more likely than not that the Company
will not be required to sell this investment before recovery of its amortized cost, which may be
at maturity, management does not consider these investments to be other than temporarily impaired
at June 30, 2009.
Government Agency The government agency bonds are backed by the full faith and credit of
Agencies of the U.S. Government. These securities are bullet securities, that is, they have a
defined maturity date on which the principal is paid. The contractual term of these investments
provides that the Bank will receive the face value of the bond at maturity which will equal the
amortized cost of the bond. Interest is received throughout the life of the security. There was
no loss greater than 12 months on these securities at June 30, 2009.
Mortgaged-Backed Securities and CMO/REMICs Almost all of the mortgage-backed and CMO/REMICs
securities are issued by the government-sponsored enterprises such as Ginnie Mae, Fannie Mae and
Freddie Mac. These securities are collateralized or backed by the underlying residential
mortgages. All mortgage-backed securities are rated investment grade with average life of
approximately 3.3 years. The contractual cash flows of 97.5% of these investments are guaranteed
by U.S. government-sponsored agencies. The remaining 2.5% are issued by banks. Accordingly, it is
expected the securities would not be settled at a price less than the amortized cost of the bonds.
The unrealized loss greater than 12 months on these securities at June 30, 2009 is $617,000. This
loss is comprised of bonds issued by non-government sponsored enterprises such as financial
institutions with a loss of $528,000 and two FHLMC securities with a loss of $89,000. Because we
believe the decline in fair value is attributable to the changes in interest rates and not credit
quality and because the Company does not intend to sell the investments and it is more likely than
not that the Company will not be required to sell the investments before recovery of their
amortized costs, which may be at maturity, management does not consider these investments to be
other than temporarily impaired at June 30, 2009.
Municipal Bonds Ninety-six percent of our $657.5 million municipal bond portfolio contains
securities which have an underlying rating of investment grade. The majority of our municipal bonds
are insured by the largest bond insurance companies with maturities of approximately 6.9 years.
The unrealized loss greater than 12 months on these securities at June 30, 2009 is $2.7 million.
As with the other securities in the portfolio, we believe this loss is due to the interest rate
environment and not the credit risk of these securities. The Bank diversifies its holdings by
owning selections of securities from different issuers and by holding securities from
geographically diversified municipal issuers, thus reducing the Banks exposure to any single
adverse event. Because the decline in fair value is attributable to the changes in interest rates
and not credit quality, and because the Company does not intend to sell these securities and it is
more likely than not that the Bank will not be required to sell the securities before recovery of
their amortized costs, which may be at maturity, management does not consider these investments to
be other than temporarily impaired at June 30, 2009.
We are continually monitoring the quality of our municipal bond portfolio in light of the
current financial problems exhibited by certain monoline insurance companies. While most of our
securities are insured by these companies, we feel that there is minimal risk of loss due to the
problems these insurers
16
Table of Contents
are having. Many of the securities that would not be rated without
insurance are pre-refunded and/or are general obligation bonds. Based on our monitoring of the
municipal marketplace, to our knowledge, none of the municipalities are exhibiting financial
problems that would lead us to believe there is a loss in any given security.
Although we determined that these securities are not other-than-temporarily impaired, we will
continue to monitor the portfolio in the light of economic, credit and market factors. In
addition, we will look at the potential for improving the overall performance of the portfolio and
the income of the Company. Accordingly, subsequent changes in some of these factors may indicate
that we should sell some of these securities even though we have disclosed that we currently intend
to hold these securities to maturity.
At June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, investment securities having an amortized cost of
approximately $2.10 billion and $2.32 billion respectively, were pledged to secure public deposits,
short and long-term borrowings, and for other purposes as required or permitted by law.
The amortized cost and fair value of debt securities at June 30, 2009, by contractual
maturity, are shown below. Although mortgage-backed securities and CMO/REMICs have contractual
maturities through 2038, expected maturities will differ from contractual maturities because
borrowers may have the right to prepay such obligations without penalty. Mortgage-backed securities
and CMO/REMICs are included in maturity categories based upon estimated prepayment speeds.

3. FAIR VALUE INFORMATION
Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (FAS
157) for financial assets and liabilities. FAS 157 clarifies the definition of fair value,
describes methods used to appropriately measure fair value in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles and expands fair value disclosure requirements. This statement applies
whenever other accounting pronouncements require or permit fair value measurements.
The fair value hierarchy under SFAS No. 157 prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques
used to measure fair value into three broad levels (Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3).
| Level 1 Valuation is based upon quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets. | ||
| Level 2 Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market. |
17
Table of Contents
| Level 3 Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use significant assumptions not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect the Companys own estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques include use of option pricing models, discounted cash flows and similar techniques. |
Determination of Fair Value
The following is a description of valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities
recorded at fair value and for estimating fair value for financial instruments not recorded at fair
value (FAS 107 disclosures).
Cash
The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents is considered to be a reasonable
estimate of fair value.
Investment securities available-for-sale - Investment securities available-for-sale are valued
based upon quotes obtained from a reputable third-party pricing service. The service uses
evaluated pricing applications and model processes. Market inputs, such as, benchmark yields,
reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities,
bids, offers and reference data are considered as part of the evaluation. The inputs are related
directly to the security being evaluated, or indirectly to a similarly situated security. Market
assumptions and market data are utilized in the valuation models. Accordingly, the Company
categorized its investment portfolio as a Level 2 valuation.
Loans The carrying amount of loans and lease finance receivables is their contractual
amounts outstanding, reduced by deferred net loan origination fees and the allocable portion of the
allowance for credit losses.
The fair value of loans, other than loans on non-accrual status, was estimated by discounting
the remaining contractual cash flows using the estimated current rate at which similar loans would
be made to borrowers with similar credit risk characteristics and for the same remaining
maturities, reduced by
deferred net loan origination fees and the allocable portion of the allowance for credit
losses. Accordingly, in determining the estimated current rate for discounting purposes, no
adjustment has been made for any change in borrowers credit risks since the origination of such
loans. Rather, the allocable portion of the allowance for credit losses is considered to provide
for such changes in estimating fair value.
The fair value of loans on non-accrual status has not been specifically estimated because it
is not practicable to reasonably assess the credit risk adjustment that would be applied in the
marketplace for such loans. As such, the estimated fair value of total loans at June 30, 2009
includes the carrying amount of non-accrual loans at each respective date, net of allowance for
credit losses.
Impaired loans and OREO are generally measured using the fair value of the underlying
collateral, which is determined based on the most recent appraisal information received, less costs
to sell. These loans fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Appraised values may be
adjusted based on factors such as the changes in market conditions from the time of valuation.
These loans fall within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
The fair value of commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit were not
significant at June 30, 2009 as these instruments predominantly have adjustable terms and are of a
short-term nature.
Swaps The fair value of the interest rate swap contracts are provided by our counterparty
using a system that constructs a yield curve based on cash LIBOR rates, Eurodollar futures
contracts, and 3-year
18
Table of Contents
through 30-year swap rates. The yield curve determines the valuations of the
interest rate swaps. Accordingly, the swap is categorized as a Level 2 valuation.
Deposits & Borrowings The amounts payable to depositors for demand, savings, and money
market accounts, and the demand note to the U.S. Treasury, and short-term borrowings are considered
to be stated at fair value. The fair value of fixed-maturity certificates of deposit is estimated
using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities. The fair value of
long-term borrowings and junior subordinated debentures is estimated using the rates currently
offered for borrowings of similar remaining maturities.
Accrued Interest Receivable/Payable - The amounts of accrued interest receivable on loans and
lease finance receivables and investments and accrued interest payable on deposits and borrowings
are considered to be stated at fair value.
The table below presents the balances of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a
recurring basis.

We may be required to measure certain assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in
accordance with GAAP. These adjustments to fair value usually result from application of
lower-of-cost-or-market accounting or write-downs of individual assets. For assets measured at
fair value on a nonrecurring basis that were still held in the balance sheet at quarter end, the
following table provides the level of valuation assumptions used to determine each adjustment and
the carrying value of the related assets at quarter end.

The following disclosure of the estimated fair value of financial instruments is made in
accordance with the requirements of FSP No. 107-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of
Financial Instruments. The estimated fair value amounts have been determined by the Company using
available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable
judgment is required to develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented

The fair value estimates presented herein are based on pertinent information available to
management as of June 30, 2009. 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 that date, and therefore, current
estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the amounts presented above.
4. BUSINESS SEGMENTS
The Company has identified two principal reportable segments: Business Financial and
Commercial Banking Centers and the Treasury Department. The Companys subsidiary bank has 41
Business Financial Centers and 5 Commercial Banking Centers (branches), organized in 6 geographic
regions, which are the focal points for customer sales and services. The Company utilizes an
internal reporting system to measure the performance of various operating segments within the Bank
which is the basis for determining the Banks reportable segments. The Chief Operating Decision
Maker (currently our CEO) regularly reviews the financial information of these segments in deciding
how to allocate resources and assessing performance. The Banks Business Financial and Commercial
Banking Centers are considered one operating segment as their products and services are similar and
are sold to similar types of customers, have similar production and distribution processes, have
similar economic characteristics, and have similar reporting and organizational structures. The
Treasury Departments primary focus is managing the Banks investments, liquidity, and interest
rate risk. Information related to the Companys remaining operating segments which include
construction lending, dairy and livestock lending, SBA lending, leasing, and centralized functions
have been aggregated and included in Other. In addition, the Company allocates internal funds
transfer pricing to the segments using a methodology that charges users of funds interest expense
and credits providers of funds interest income with the net effect of this allocation being
recorded in administration.
20
Table of Contents
The following table represents the selected financial information for these two business
segments. Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America do not have an
authoritative body of knowledge regarding the management accounting used in presenting segment
financial information. The accounting policies for each of the business units is the same as those
policies identified for the consolidated Company and identified in the footnote on the summary of
significant accounting policies. The income numbers represent the actual income and expenses of
each business unit. In addition, each segment has allocated income and expenses based on
managements internal reporting system, which allows management to determine the performance of
each of its business units. Loan fees, included in the Business Financial and Commercial Banking
Centers category are the actual loan fees paid to the Company by its customers. These fees are
eliminated and deferred in the Other category, resulting in deferred loan fees for the
consolidated financial statements. All income and expense items not directly associated with the
two business segments are grouped in the Other category. Future changes in the Companys
management structure or reporting methodologies may result in changes in the measurement of
operating segment results.
The following tables present the operating results and other key financial measures for the
individual reportable segments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008:

5. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Bank is exposed to certain risks relating to its ongoing business operations. The primary
risks managed by using derivative instruments are market risk and interest rate risk. As of June
30, 2009, the Bank entered into 26 interest-rate swap agreement with customers and 26 with a
counterparty bank. The swaps are not designated as hedging instruments. The purpose of entering
into offsetting derivatives not designated as a hedging instrument is to provide the Bank a
variable-rate loan receivable and provide the customer the financial effects of a fixed-rate loan
without creating volatility in the banks earnings.
The structure of the swaps is as follows. The Bank enters into a swap with its customers to
allow them to convert variable rate loans to fixed rate loans, and at the same time, the Bank
enters into a swap with the counterparty bank to allow the Bank to pass on the interest-rate risk
associated with fixed rate loans. The net effect of the transaction allows the Bank to receive
interest on the loan from the customer at a variable rate based on LIBOR plus a spread. The
changes in the market value of the swaps primarily offset each other and therefore do not have a
significant impact on the Companys results of operations.
23
Table of Contents
As of June 30, 2009, the total notional amount of the Banks swaps was $146.8 million. The

6. SUBSEQUENT EVENT
On July 27, 2009, we consummated a public offering of common stock at a purchase price of
$5.85 per share of common stock. We sold an aggregate of 22,655,000 shares of our common stock in
the underwritten public offering resulting in gross proceeds to the Company of approximately $132.5
million. As a result of our completion of the underwritten public offering of common stock, the
number of shares of our common stock subject to the warrant we issued to the United States Treasury
shall be reduced from 1,669,521 to 834,760.
The Company has evaluated subsequent events through August 5, 2009, the date that these
consolidated financial statements were issued.

OVERVIEW
We are a bank holding company with one bank subsidiary, Citizens Business Bank. We have three
other inactive subsidiaries: CVB Ventures, Inc.; Chino Valley Bancorp and Orange National Bancorp.
We are also the common stockholder of CVB Statutory Trust I, CVB Statutory Trust II and CVB
Statutory Trust III, statutory trusts which were formed to issue trust preferred securities in
order to increase the capital of the Company. Through our acquisition of FCB in June 2007, we
acquired FCB Capital Trust II, another statutory trust. We are based in Ontario, California in
what is known as the Inland Empire of California. Our geographical market area encompasses the
City of Stockton (the middle of the Central Valley) in the center of California to the City of Laguna Beach (in
Orange County) in the southern
25
Table of Contents
portion of California. Our mission is to offer the finest financial products and services to
professionals and businesses in our market area.
Our primary source of income is from the interest earned on our loans and investments and our
primary area of expense is the interest paid on deposits, borrowings, and salaries and benefits.
As such our net income is subject to fluctuations in interest rates and their impact on our income
statement. We are also subject to competition from other financial institutions, which may affect
our pricing of products and services, and the fees and interest rates we can charge on them.
Economic conditions in our California service area impact our business. We have seen a
significant decline in the housing market resulting in slower growth in construction loans.
Unemployment is high and the Inland Empire and other areas of our marketplace have been
significantly impacted as economic conditions, both nationally and in California, continue to
deteriorate. Approximately 22% of our total loan portfolio of $3.6 billion is located in the
Inland Empire region of California. The balance of the portfolio is from outside of this region.
Our provision for credit losses for the first six months of 2009, which was significantly higher
than our provision for credit losses for the first six months of 2008, reflects an increase in our
classified loans, as we continue to see the impact of deteriorating economic conditions on our loan
portfolio. Continued weaknesses in the local and state economy could adversely affect us through
diminished loan demand, credit quality deterioration, and increases in loan delinquencies and
defaults.
Over the past few years, we have been active in acquisitions and we will continue to consider
acquisition targets which will enable us to meet our business objectives and enhance shareholder
value along with organic growth. Since 2000, we have acquired four banks and a leasing company, and
we have opened four de novo branches: Bakersfield, Fresno, Madera, and Stockton, California. We
have five Commercial Banking Centers. Although able to take deposits, these centers operate
primarily as sales offices and focus on business clients and their principals, professionals, and
high net-worth individuals. One of these centers is located in the San Fernando Valley. The other
four centers are located within a Business Financial Center in San Bernardino, Los Angeles and
Orange counties.
The full impact of the decreases in interest rates on deposits during 2008 was realized during
the first six months of 2009. Our net interest income before provision for credit losses of $109.4
million, increased by $16.8 million or 18.11%, compared to net interest income before provision for
credit losses of $92.6 million for the same period in 2008. The Bank has always had an excellent
base of interest free deposits primarily due to our specialization in businesses and professionals
as customers. As of June 30, 2009, 35.66% of our deposits are interest-free. This has allowed us
to have a low cost of deposits, currently 0.70% for the first six months of 2009, which contributed
to a substantial reduction in interest expense for the first six months of 2009 compared to the
same period last year.
Our net income decreased to $29.0 million for the first six months of 2009 compared with $33.3
million for the first six months of 2008, a decrease of $4.3 million or 12.92%. The decrease of
$4.3 million is primarily the result of the increase in provision for credit losses of $37.3
million and an increase in non-interest expense of $5.6 million, offset by an increase in net
interest income before provision for credit losses of $16.8 million and gain on sale of securities
of $21.5 million. Diluted earnings per share decreased to $0.30 per share for 2009, from $0.40 per
share in 2008. Of the $0.10 decrease per share, $0.05 represents costs associated with dividends
paid and amortization of the discount on our preferred stock issued in December 2008 to the United
States Treasury as a result of our participation in their Capital Purchase Program.
Our net income decreased to $15.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 compared with
$17.2 million for the same period in 2008, a decrease of $1.3 million or 7.53%. The decrease of
$1.3 million is primarily the result of the increase in provision for credit losses of $17.0
million and an increase in non-interest expense of $2.6 million, offset by an increase in net
interest income before provision for credit losses of $5.6 million and gain on sale of securities
of $12.6 million. Diluted earnings per share
26
Table of Contents
decreased to $0.17 per share for the second quarter of 2009 from $0.21 per share for the second quarter of 2008.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
On July 27, 2009, we consummated an underwritten public offering of our common stock at a
purchase price of $5.85 per share. In connection therewith, we sold an aggregate of 22,655,000
shares of our common stock resulting in gross proceeds to us of approximately $132.5 million.
Subject to regulatory approval, we intend to use the proceeds from the sale of common stock, along
with other funds, to redeem all of the preferred stock and repurchase the warrant that we issued to
the United States Treasury as part of our participation in the United States Treasurys Capital
Purchase Program. As a result of our completion of the underwritten public offering of common
stock, the number of shares of our common stock subject to the warrant we issued to the United
States Treasury shall be reduced from 1,669,521 to 834,760.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
Critical accounting estimates are defined as those that are reflective of significant
judgments and uncertainties, and could potentially result in materially different results under
different assumptions and conditions. We believe that our most critical accounting estimates upon
which our financial condition depends, and which involve the most complex or subjective decisions
or assessments are as follows:
Allowance for Credit Losses: Arriving at an appropriate level of allowance for credit losses
involves a high degree of judgment. Our allowance for credit losses provides for probable losses
based upon evaluations of known and inherent risks in the loan portfolio. The determination of the
balance in the allowance for credit losses is based on an analysis of the loan and lease finance
receivables portfolio using a systematic methodology and reflects an amount that, in our judgment,
is adequate to provide for probable credit losses inherent in the portfolio, after giving
consideration to the character of the loan portfolio, current economic conditions, past credit loss
experience, and such other factors as deserve current recognition in estimating inherent credit
losses. The provision for credit losses is charged to expense. For a full discussion of our
methodology of assessing the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses, see the Risk Management
section of this Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations.
Investment Portfolio: The investment portfolio is an integral part of the Companys financial
performance. We invest primarily in fixed income securities. Accounting estimates are used in the
valuation of the investment portfolio and these estimates do impact the presentation of our
financial condition and results of operations. We classify as held-to-maturity those debt
securities that we have the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity. Securities classified
as trading are those securities that are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling
them in the near term. All other debt and equity securities are classified as available-for-sale.
Securities held-to-maturity are accounted for at cost and adjusted for amortization of premiums and
accretion of discounts. Trading securities are accounted for at fair value with the unrealized
holding gains and losses being included in current earnings. Securities available-for-sale are
accounted for at fair value, with the net unrealized gains and losses, net of income tax effects,
presented as a separate component of stockholders equity. Realized gains and losses on sales of
securities are recognized in earnings at the time of sale and are determined on a
specific-identification basis. Purchase premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income
using the effective-yield method over the terms of the securities. Our investment in Federal Home
Loan Bank (FHLB) stock is carried at cost.
At each reporting date, securities are assessed to determine whether there is an
other-than-temporary impairment. Effective April 1, 2009, the Company adopted FSP FAS 115-2,
Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments, which amended SFAS No. 115,
Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, by changing the amount of an
other-than-temporary
27
Table of Contents
impairment that is recognized in earnings when there are credit losses on a debt security for which
management does not intend to sell and for which it is more-likely-than-not that the Company will
not have to sell prior to recovery of the noncredit impairment. In those situations, the portion of
the total impairment that is attributable to the credit loss would be recognized in earnings, and
the remaining difference between the debt securitys amortized cost basis and its fair value would
be included in other comprehensive income.
Income Taxes: We account for income taxes using the asset and liability method by deferring
income taxes based on estimated future tax effects of differences between the tax and book basis of
assets and liabilities considering the provisions of enacted tax laws. These differences result in
deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are included in our balance sheets. We must also assess
the likelihood that any deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income and
establish a valuation allowance for those assets determined to not likely be recoverable. Our
judgment is required in determining the amount and timing of recognition of the resulting deferred
tax assets and liabilities, including projections of future taxable income. Although we have
determined a valuation allowance is not required for any of our deferred tax assets, there is no
guarantee that these assets are recoverable.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets: We have acquired entire banks and branches of banks. Those
acquisitions accounted for under the purchase method of accounting have given rise to goodwill and
intangible assets. We record the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their fair value. These
fair values are determined through the use of internal and external valuation techniques. The
purchase price is allocated to assets and liabilities, including identified intangibles. The
identified intangibles are amortized over the estimated lives of the assets or liabilities. Any
excess purchase price after this allocation results in goodwill. Goodwill is tested on an annual
basis for impairment.
ANALYSIS OF THE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Earnings
We reported net earnings of $29.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009. This
represented a decrease of $4.3 million or 12.92%, from net earnings of $33.3 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2008 primarily due to an increase in loan loss provision of $37.3 million
offset by gains on sales of securities of $21.5 million and an increase in our net interest income
of $16.8 million year over year. Basic and diluted earnings per share for the six-month period
decreased to $0.30 per share for 2009, compared to $0.40 per share for 2008. The annualized return
on average assets was 0.90% for the six months of 2009 compared to an annualized return on average
assets of 1.06% for the six months of 2008. The annualized return on average equity was 9.29% for
the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to an annualized return of 14.88% for the six months
ended June 30, 2008. The decrease in annualized return on average equity for the six month period
is attributed to overall decreased earnings for the first six months of 2009 and an increase in our
average equity balance as a result of the preferred stock we issued to the U.S. Treasury in
December 2008 as a result of our participation in the Capital Purchase Program.
For the quarter ended June 30, 2009, our net earnings were $15.9 million. This represented a
decrease of $1.3 million or 7.53%, from net earnings of $17.2 million, for the second quarter of
2008. Basic and diluted earnings per share decreased to $0.17 per share for the second quarter of
2009 compared to $0.21 per share for the second quarter of 2008. The annualized return on average
assets was 0.99% and 1.07% for the second quarter of 2009 and 2008, respectively. The annualized
return on average equity was 9.99% and 14.85% for the second quarter of 2009 and 2008,
respectively.
Net Interest Income
The principal component of our earnings is net interest income, which is the difference
between the interest and fees earned on loans and investments (earning assets) and the interest
paid on deposits and
28
Table of Contents
borrowed funds (interest-bearing liabilities). Net interest margin is the taxable-equivalent of net
interest income as a percentage of average earning assets for the period. The level of interest
rates and the volume and mix of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities impact net interest
income and net interest margin. The net interest spread is the yield on average earning assets
minus the cost of average interest-bearing liabilities. Our net interest income, interest spread,
and net interest margin are sensitive to general business and economic conditions. These conditions
include short-term and long-term interest rates, inflation, monetary supply, and the strength of
the economy, in general, and the local economies in which we conduct business. Our ability to
manage the net interest income during changing interest rate environments will have a significant
impact on our overall performance. Our balance sheet is currently liability-sensitive; meaning
interest-bearing liabilities will generally reprice more quickly than earning assets. Therefore,
our net interest margin is likely to decrease in sustained periods of rising interest rates and
increase in sustained periods of declining interest rates. We manage net interest income by
affecting changes in the mix of earning assets as well as the mix of interest-bearing liabilities,
changes in the level of interest-bearing liabilities in proportion to earning assets, and in the
growth of earning assets.
Our net interest income, before the provision for credit losses, totaled $109.4 million for
the six months ended June 30, 2009. This represented an increase of $16.8 million, or 18.11%, over
net interest income, before provision for credit losses, of $92.6 million for the same period in
2008. The increase in net interest income of $16.8 million resulted from a $28.2 million decrease
in interest expense, offset by an $11.5 million decrease in interest income.
Interest income totaled $154.7 million for the first six months of 2009. This represented a
decrease of $11.5 million, or 6.89%, compared to total interest income of $166.2 million for the
same period last year. The decrease in interest income was primarily the result of the decrease in
average yield on earning assets to 5.22% for the six months of 2009 from 5.80% for the same period
of 2008, or 58 basis points. Average earning assets increased by $220.7 million, or 3.69%, from
$5.97 billion to $6.20 billion.
Interest expense totaled $45.4 million for the first six months of 2009. This represented a
decrease of $28.2 million, or 38.36%, from total interest expense of $73.6 million for the same
period last year. The decrease in interest expense was primarily the result of a decrease in the
average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities to 2.03% for the first six months of 2009 from
3.20% for the same period in 2008, or 117 basis points. The decrease in rates paid on deposits and
borrowings was offset by an increase in average interest-bearing deposits of $360.1 million, or
17.79%, from $2.02 billion to $2.38 billion.
For the second quarter ended June 30, 2009, our net interest income, before provision for
credit losses, totaled $54.1 million. This represented an increase of $5.6 million, or 11.58%, over
net interest income of $48.5 million for the same period in 2008. The increase in net interest
income of $5.6 million resulted from a decrease of $12.8 million in interest expense, offset by a
$7.2 million decrease in interest income.
Interest income totaled $75.8 million for the second quarter of 2009. This represented a
decrease of $7.2 million, or 8.67%, compared to total interest income of $83.0 million for the same
period last year. The decrease in interest income for the second quarter ending June 30, 2009 as
compared to the second quarter ending June 30, 2008 was primarily the result of the decrease in
average yield on earning assets to 5.17% for the second quarter of 2009 from 5.69% for the same
period of 2008, or 52 basis points. Average earning assets increased by $28.1 million, or 0.46%,
from $6.09 billion to $6.11 billion.
Interest expense totaled $21.7 million for the second quarter of 2009. This represented a
decrease of $12.8 million or 37.13%, from total interest expense of $34.5 million for the same
period last year. The decrease in interest expense was primarily the result of a decrease in the
average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities to 1.98% for the second quarter ending June 30,
2009 from 2.95% for the same period in 2008, or 97 basis points. The decrease in yields was offset
by an increase in average interest-bearing deposits of $508.6 million, or 25.46%, from $2.00
billion to $2.51 billion.

As stated above, the net interest margin measures net interest income as a percentage of
average earning assets. Our tax effected (TE) net interest margin was 3.75% for the six months of
2009, compared to 3.34% for the first six months of 2008. Our tax effected (TE) net interest
margin for the second quarter of 2009 was 3.76%, compared to 3.43% for the second quarter of 2008.
The increase in the net interest margin over the same period last year is primarily the result of
the decreasing interest rate environment, which impacted interest earned and interest paid as a
percent of earning assets. This was partially offset by changes in the mix of assets and
liabilities as discussed in the following paragraphs. Generally, our net interest margin improves
in a decreasing interest rate environment as our deposits and borrowings reprice much faster than
our loans and securities.
The net interest spread is the difference between the yield on average earning assets and the
cost of average interest-bearing liabilities. The net interest spread is an indication of our
ability to manage rates received on loans and investments and rates paid on deposits and borrowings
in a competitive and changing interest rate environment. Our net interest spread (TE) was 3.19% for
the six months of 2009 and 2.60% for the same period last year. The increase in the net interest
spread for the six months ended June 30, 2009
resulted from a 117 basis point decrease in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities, offset
by a 58 basis point decrease in the yield on earning assets, thus generating a 59 basis point
increase in the net interest spread from the same period last year.
For the second quarter of 2009, the Companys net interest spread (TE) was 3.19% as compared
to 2.74% for the same period last year. The increase in net interest spread for the second quarter
ended June 30, 2009 resulted from a 97 basis point decrease in the cost of interest-bearing
liabilities, offset by a 52

basis point decrease in the yield on earning assets, thus generating a 45 basis point increase in
the net interest spread from the same period last year.
The yield (TE) on earning assets decreased to 5.22% for the six months of 2009, from 5.80% for
the same period last year, and reflects a decreasing interest rate environment and a change in the
mix of earning assets. Average loans as a percent of earning assets increased to 59.19% in the six
months of 2009 from 57.09% for the same period in 2008. Average investments as a percent of earning
assets decreased to 38.80% in the six months of 2009 from 41.43% for the same period in 2008. The
yield on loans for the first six months of 2009 decreased to 5.46% as compared to 6.26% for the
same period in 2008 as a result of the decreasing interest rate environment. The yield on loans
decline at a slower rate than general interest rates as approximately 63% of the Companys loans
are fixed-rate loans or hybrid adjustable loans with interest rates that are typically fixed for
the first five or ten years of the loans and reset at fixed rates for the remaining term. The
yield (TE) on investments for the first six months of 2009 decreased to 5.11% compared to 5.18% for
the same period in 2008. The decrease in rates, offset by an increase in average loan balances,
resulted in a decrease in our interest income.
The cost of average interest-bearing liabilities decreased to 2.03% for the first six months
of 2009 as compared to 3.20% for the same period in 2008, reflecting the decrease in interest rates
and a change in the mix of interest-bearing liabilities. The fact that the cost of interest-bearing
liabilities dropped more than the yield on earning assets is due to the liability-sensitive nature
of our balance sheet. Average borrowings as a percent of average interest-bearing liabilities
decreased to 46.60% during the first six months of 2009 as compared to 55.75% for the same period
in 2008. The cost of borrowings for the first six months of 2009 decreased to 3.09% as compared to
4.09% for the same period in 2008, reflecting the decrease in interest rates. Borrowings typically
have a higher cost than interest-bearing deposits. The cost of interest-bearing deposits for the
first six months of 2009 decreased to 1.10% as compared to 2.07% for the same period in 2008, also
reflecting the declining interest rate environment. The FDIC has approved the payment of interest
on certain demand deposit accounts. This could have a negative impact on our net interest margin,
net interest spread, and net earnings, should this be implemented fully. Currently, we pay interest
on NOW and Money Market Accounts. The overall decrease in interest rates and decrease in average
borrowings, offset by an increase in average deposits, resulted in a decrease in our interest
expense.
For the second quarter of 2009, the yield (TE) on earning assets decreased to 5.17%, from
5.69% for the same period last year. The cost of average interest-bearing liabilities decreased to
1.98% for the second quarter of 2009 as compared to 2.95% for the same period in 2008. The changes
reflect the decreasing interest rate environment and change in mix of earning assets and
interest-bearing liabilities, reflecting similar trends as described above.
Table 2 presents a comparison of interest income and interest expense resulting from changes
in the volumes and rates on average earning assets and average interest-bearing liabilities for the
periods indicated. Changes in interest income or expense attributable to volume changes are
calculated by multiplying the change in volume by the initial average interest rate. The change in
interest income or expense attributable to changes in interest rates is calculated by multiplying
the change in interest rate by the initial volume. The changes attributable to both interest rate
and volume changes are calculated by multiplying the change in rate times the change in volume.

Interest and Fees on Loans
Our major source of revenue and primary component of interest income is interest and fees on
loans. Interest and fees on loans totaled $99.3 million for the first six months of 2009. This
represented a decrease of $7.0 million, or 6.55%, from interest and fees on loans of $106.3 million
for the same period in 2008. The decrease in interest and fees on loans for the first six months of
2009 reflects the decrease in rates between periods, offset by increases in the average balance of
loans. The yield on loans decreased
33
Table of Contents
to 5.22% for the first six months of 2009, compared to 5.80% for the same period in 2008. Average
loans increased $256.2 million, or 7.51%, from $3.41 billion for the first six months of 2008 to
$3.67 billion for the first six months of 2009.
Interest and fees on loans totaled $49.8 million for the second quarter of 2009. This
represented a decrease of $2.4 million, or 4.67%, from interest and fees on loans of $52.2 million
for the same period in 2008. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in yields on loans,
offset by increases in average loan balances.
In general, we stop accruing interest on a loan after its principal or interest becomes 90
days or more past due. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual, all interest previously accrued but not
collected is charged against earnings. There was no interest income that was accrued and not
reversed on non-performing loans at June 30, 2009 and 2008.
Fees collected on loans are an integral part of the loan pricing decision. Loan fees and the
direct costs associated with the origination of loans are deferred and deducted from the loan
balance. Deferred net loan fees are recognized in interest income over the term of the loan using
the effective-yield method. We recognized loan fee income of $1.4 million for the first six months
of 2009, as compared to $3.0 million for the same period in 2008, a decrease of $1.6 million or
53.62%. This was due to a decrease in loan demand during the first six months of 2009.
Interest on Investments
The second most important component of interest income is interest on investments, which
totaled $55.4 million for the first six months of 2009. This represented a decrease of $2.2
million, or 3.86%, from interest on investments of $57.6 million for the same period in 2008. The
decrease in interest on investments for the six months of 2009 from the same period last year was
primarily the result of a decrease in yield on investments and a decrease in average investments.
The interest rate environment and the investment strategies we employ directly affect the yield on
the investment portfolio. We continually adjust our investment strategies in response to the
changing interest rate environment in order to maximize the rate of total return consistent within
prudent risk parameters, and to minimize the overall interest rate risk of the Company. The total
yield (TE) on investments decreased to 5.11% for the first six months of 2009 compared to 5.18% for
the first six months of 2008. Average investment balances for the first six months for 2009
decreased $71.2 million, or 2.87% from the same period last year.
For the second quarter of 2009, interest income on investments totaled $25.9 million. This
represented a decrease of $3.6 million or 12.16%, over interest on investments of $29.5 million for
the same period in 2008. The decrease in interest on investments for the second quarter of 2009
from the same period last year reflected decreases in the average balance of investments and in the
interest rates. The total yield (TE) on investments decreased to 5.04% for the second quarter of
2009, compared to 5.14% for the same period in 2008 as a result of the decreasing interest rate
environment.
Interest on Deposits
Interest on deposits totaled $13.0 million for the first six months of 2009. This represented
a decrease of $7.8 million, or 37.41%, from interest on deposits of $20.8 million for the first six
months of 2008. The decrease is due to the decrease in interest rates on deposits offset by
increases in average interest-bearing deposit balances. The cost of interest-bearing deposits
decreased to 1.10% for the first six months of 2009 from 2.07% for the first six months of 2008.
Average interest-bearing deposits increased $360.1 million, or 17.79%, over the same period last
year.
For the second quarter of 2009, interest on deposits totaled $6.4 million. This represented a
decrease of $2.1 million, or 24.57%, over interest on deposits of $8.5 million for the same period
in 2008. The decrease is due to the decrease in interest rates on deposit offset by increases in
average interest-bearing
34
Table of Contents
deposit balances. The cost of interest-bearing deposits decreased to 1.03% for the second quarter
of 2009 from 1.72% for the second quarter of 2008. Average interest-bearing deposits increased
$508.6 million, or 25.46%, over the same period last year.
Interest on Borrowings
Interest on borrowings totaled $30.1 million for the first six months of 2009. This
represented a decrease of $19.1 million, or 38.80%, from interest on borrowings of $49.2 million
for the same period of 2008. The decrease is due to the decrease in interest rates paid on
borrowings and a decrease in average borrowings. Interest rates on borrowings decreased 95 basis
points, from 4.00% for the first six months of 2008 to 3.05% for the first six months of 2009.
Average borrowings decreased $469.7 million, or 19.29%.
For the second quarter of 2009, interest on borrowings totaled $14.2 million. This
represented a decrease of $10.0 million, or 41.36%, from interest on borrowings of $24.2 million
for the same period of 2008. The decrease is due to the decrease in interest rates paid on
borrowings and a decrease in average borrowings. Interest rates on borrowings decreased 53 basis
points, from 3.79% for the second quarter of 2008 to 3.26% for the second quarter of 2009. Average
borrowings decreased $807.2 million, or 31.90%.
Provision for Credit Losses
We maintain an allowance for inherent credit losses that is increased by a provision for
credit losses charged against operating results. The provision for credit losses is determined by
management as the amount to be added to the allowance for probable credit losses after net
charge-offs have been deducted to bring the allowance to an adequate level which, in managements
best estimate, is necessary to absorb probable credit losses within the existing loan portfolio.
We made a provision for credit losses of $42.0 million during the first six months of 2009 and
$4.7 million during the same period in 2008. The increase in allowance during the first six months
of 2009 was primarily due to the increase in classified loans. We continue to make greater
provisions for credit losses in order to build our reserves based on historical losses and current
economic indicators. We believe the allowance is appropriate as of the end of the period covered by
this report. We continually assess the quality of our portfolio to determine whether additional
provision for credit losses is necessary. The ratio of the allowance for credit losses to total
loans as of June 30, 2009 and 2008 was 2.07% and 1.06%, respectively.
No assurance can be given that economic conditions which adversely affect the Companys
service areas, past credit loss experience, the characteristics of our loan portfolio or other
circumstances will not be reflected in increased provisions for credit losses in the future. The
nature of this process requires considerable judgment. Net charge-offs totaled $21.2 million for
the first six months of 2009 and $439,000 during the same period of 2008. See Risk Management
Credit Risk herein.
Other Operating Income
Other operating income for the Company includes income derived from special services offered
by the Bank, such as CitizensTrust, merchant card, international banking, and other business
services. Also included in other operating income are service charges and fees, primarily from
deposit accounts; gains (net of losses) from the sale of investment securities, other real estate
owned, and fixed assets; and other revenues not included as interest on earning assets.
Other operating income totaled $36.1 million for the first six months of 2009. This represents
an increase of $19.2 million, or 114.14%, over other operating income of $16.8 million for the same
period in 2008. The increase is due to the gain on sale of securities of $21.5 million during the
first six months of 2009. This was partially offset by decreases in trust and investment services
income of $623,000, or 16.02% and BOLI income of $822,000, or 37.07%.
35
Table of Contents
Other operating income totaled $19.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2009. This
represents an increase of $11.0 million or 126.48% over total other operating income of $8.7
million for the quarter ended June 30, 2008. This increase was primarily due to the gain on sale
of securities of $12.6 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2009.
Other operating income as a percent of net revenues (net interest income before loan loss
provision plus other operating income) was 24.80% for the first six months of 2009, as compared to
15.39% for the same period in 2008.
Other Operating Expenses
Other operating expenses for the Company include expenses for salaries and benefits,
occupancy, equipment, stationary and supplies, professional services, amortization of intangibles,
and other expenses. Other operating expenses totaled $64.4 million for the first six months of
2009. This represents an increase of $5.6 million, or 9.53% over other operating expenses of $58.8
million for the same period in 2008. The increase was primarily due to a one-time FDIC special
assessment of $3.0 million along with overall increases in FDIC insurance of $2.0 million year over
year and OREO expense of $1.2 million.
For the second quarter of 2009, other operating expenses totaled $33.0 million. This
represents an increase of $2.6 million, or 8.56%, over other operating expenses of $30.4 million
for the same period last year. The increase is due to the one-time FDIC special assessment of $3.0
million, offset by decreases in all other categories of operating expenses.
At June 30, 2009, we employed 686 full time equivalent employees, compared to 685 full time
equivalent employees at June 30, 2008.
For the most part, other operating expenses reflect the direct expenses and related
administrative expenses associated with staffing, maintaining, promoting, and operating branch
facilities. Our ability to control other operating expenses in relation to asset growth can be
measured in terms of other operating expenses as a percentage of average assets. Operating expenses
measured as a percentage of average assets was 1.99% and 1.87% for the first six months of 2009 and
2008, respectively.
Our ability to control other operating expenses in relation to the level of net revenue (net
interest income plus other operating income) is measured by the efficiency ratio and indicates the
percentage of net revenue that is used to cover expenses. For the first six months of 2009, the
efficiency ratio was 62.23%, compared to a ratio of 56.11% for the same period in 2008.
Income Taxes
The Companys effective tax rate for the three and six months of 2009 was 23.84% and 25.71%,
compared to 27.95% and 27.50% for the same period in 2008. The effective tax rates are below the
nominal combined Federal and State tax rates as a result of the increase in tax-preferenced income
from certain investments and municipal loans/leases as a percentage of total income for each
period. The majority of tax preferenced income is derived from municipal securities.

For the six months ended June 30, 2009, segment profit increased by $1.2 million, or 1.89%,
compared to the same period last year. This was primarily due to the decrease in interest expense
which overshadowed the decrease in interest income. Rates paid on deposits decreased 97 basis
points while yields on loans decreased 80 basis points. The decreases in interest rates were
offset by increases in average balances. Average interest-bearing deposits increased $360.1
million, or 17.79%; while average loans increased $256.2 million, or 7.51%. Non-interest income
decreased by $985,000, or 9.30%, compared to the first six months of 2008. Non-interest expense
increased $741,000, or 3.09%, compared to the same period last year.
For the quarter ended June 30, 2009, segment profit increased by $2.1 million, or 6.80%,
compared to the same period last year. This was primarily due to the increase in net interest
income. Non-interest income decreased by $917,000, or 16.04%, compared to the quarter ended June
30, 2008. Non-interest expense increased $351,000, or 2.92%, compared to the same period last

For the six months ended June 30, 2009, segment profit increased by $30.3 million over the
same period last year. The increase is primarily due to the $21.5 million gain on sale of
securities recognized during the first six months of 2008 and the increase in net interest income
of $8.9 million year over year. The increase in net interest income due to the fact that a
substantial portion of our securities portfolio is fixed rate while our rate on borrowings
decreased 95 basis points from 4.00% in the first six months of 2008 to 3.05% for the same period
in 2009.
For the quarter ended June 30, 2009, segment profit increased by $12.5 million over the same
period last year. The increase is due to the $12.6 million gain on sale of securities recognized
during the three months ended June 30, 2009.
There are no provisions for credit losses or taxes in the segments as these are accounted for
at the corporate level.

stockholders equity. At June 30, 2009, securities held as available-for-sale had a fair value of
$2.27 billion, representing 99.7% of total investment securities, with an amortized cost of $2.23
billion. At June 30, 2009, the net unrealized holding gain on securities available-for-sale was
$42.2 million and that resulted in accumulated other comprehensive income of $24.5 million (net of
$17.7 million in deferred taxes). At December 31, 2008, the Company reported net unrealized gain on
investment securities available-for-sale of $49.5 million and accumulated other comprehensive

The tables above show the Companys investment securities gross unrealized losses and fair
value by investment category and length of time that individual securities have been in a
continuous unrealized loss position, at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008. The Company has
reviewed individual securities to determine whether a decline in fair value below the amortized
cost basis is other-than-temporary. A summary of our analysis of these securities and the
unrealized losses is described more fully in Note 2 Investment Securities in the notes to the
consolidated financial statements. Economic trends may adversely affect the value of the portfolio
of investment securities that we hold.
Loans
At June 30, 2009, we reported total loans, net of deferred loan fees, of $3.61 billion. This
represents a decrease of $122.1 million, or 3.27%, from total loans, net of deferred loan fees, of
$3.74 billion at December 31, 2008. Total loans, net of deferred loan fees, comprise 61.13% of our

Commercial and industrial loans are loans and leases to commercial entities to finance capital
purchases or improvements, or to provide cash flow for operations. Real estate loans are loans
secured by trust deeds on real property, including property under construction, commercial property
and single family and multifamily residences. Consumer loans include installment loans to consumers
as well as home equity loans and other loans secured by junior liens on real property. Municipal
lease finance receivables provide financing to municipalities, school districts, and other special
districts. Auto and equipment leases provide financing to both commercial entities as well as
consumers. Dairy and livestock loans are loans to finance the operating needs of wholesale dairy
farm operations, cattle feeders, livestock raisers, and farmers.

In the table above, Single Family-Direct represents those single-family residence loans that
we have made directly to our customers. These loans total $63.2 million. In addition, we have
purchased pools of owner-occupied single-family loans from real estate lenders, Single
Family-Mortgage Pools, totaling $243.0 million. These loans were purchased with FICO scores
predominantly ranging from 700 to over 800 and original loan-to-value ratios of 60% to 80%. These
pools were purchased to diversify our loan portfolio since we make few single-family loans. Due to
market conditions, we have not purchased any mortgage pools since August 2007.
As of June 30, 2009, the Company had $303.6 million in construction loans. This represents
8.4% of total loans outstanding of $3.6 billion. Of this $303.6 million in construction loans,
approximately 28%, or $83.6 million, were for single-family residences, residential land loans, and
multi-family land development loans. The remaining construction loans, totaling $220.0 million,
were related to commercial construction, which have continued to perform well. Our construction
loans are located throughout our marketplace as can be seen in the following table. The average
balance of any single construction loan is approximately $3.7 million.

We had loans with a balance of $53.8 million classified as impaired at June 30, 2009. This
balance includes the non-performing loans of $51.3 million and one loan, which was restructured in
a troubled debt restructuring with a balance of $2.5 million as of June 30, 2009. The restructured
loan is performing
according to terms. At December 31, 2008, we had impaired loans with a balance of $20.2
million. Impaired loans measured 1.49% of gross loans as of June 30, 2009.
As of June 30, 2009, we had $4.0 million in OREO compared to $6.6 million as of December 31,
2008, a decrease of $2.6 million. This was primarily due to the sales of existing OREO properties
of $9.4 million and $848,000 in OREO write-downs, offset by the transfer of $7.6 million from
non-performing loans during the first six months of 2009. During the first six months of 2009, the
Bank incurred expenses of $326,000 related to the holding of OREO.

for which known credit problems of the borrower would cause serious doubts as to the ability of
such borrowers to comply with their present loan repayment terms, or any known events that would
result in the loan being designated as non-performing at some future date. We can anticipate that
there will be some losses in the loan portfolio given the current state of the economy. However,
we cannot predict the extent to which the deterioration in general economic conditions, real estate
values, increase in general rates of interest, change in the financial conditions or business of a
borrower may adversely affect a borrowers ability to pay. See Risk Management Credit Risk
herein.
Deposits
The primary source of funds to support earning assets (loans and investments) is the
generation of deposits from our customer base. The ability to grow the customer base and
subsequently deposits is a crucial element in the performance of the Company.
At June 30, 2009, total deposits were $4.0 billion, representing an increase of $475.1
million, or 13.54%, over total deposits of $3.51 billion at December 31, 2008. The composition of
deposits is as follows:

The amount of non-interest-bearing demand deposits in relation to total deposits is an
integral element in achieving a low cost of funds. Demand deposits totaled $1.42 billion at June
30, 2009, representing an increase of $86.3 million, or 6.47%, over total demand deposits of $1.33
billion at December 31, 2008. Non-interest-bearing demand deposits represented 35.6% of total
deposits as of June 30, 2009 and 38.0% of total deposits as of December 31, 2008.
Savings deposits, which include savings, interest-bearing demand, and money market accounts,
totaled $1.33 billion at June 30, 2009, representing an increase of $190.0 million, or 16.61%, over
savings deposits of $1.14 billion at December 31, 2008.
Time deposits totaled $1.23 billion at June 30, 2009. This represented an increase of $198.8
million, or 19.3%, over total time deposits of $1.03 billion at December 31, 2008.
Other Borrowed Funds
To achieve the desired growth in earning assets and to fully utilize our capital, we fund this
growth through generating sources of funds other than deposits. The first source of funds we pursue
is non-interest-bearing deposits (the lowest cost of funds to the Company). Next we pursue the
growth in interest-bearing deposits and finally we supplement the growth in deposits with borrowed
funds. Average borrowed funds, as a percent of average total funding (total deposits plus demand
notes plus borrowed funds) was 34.43% as of June 30, 2009, as compared to 40.12% as of December 31,
2008.
During 2009 and 2008, we entered into short-term borrowing agreements (borrowings with
original maturities of one year or less) with the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) and other
institutions. The Bank had no outstanding balances under these agreements at June 30, 2009 and
$776.5 million at December 31, 2008. The decrease is due to the repayment of short-term borrowings
as a result of the increases in deposit and customer repurchases during 2009. We also sold
investment securities and used the proceeds from the sale to repay short-term borrowings. The
weighted average annual interest rate on short-term borrowings was 1.39% at December 31, 2008. The
FHLB holds certain investment securities and loans of the Bank as collateral for these borrowings.
In June 2006, the Company purchased securities totaling $250.0 million. This purchase was
funded by a repurchase agreement of $250.0 million with a double cap embedded in the repurchase
agreement. The interest rate on this agreement is fixed at 4.95% and the maturity is September 30,
2011. In November 2006, we began a repurchase agreement product with our customers. This product,
known as Citizens Sweep Manager, sells our investment securities overnight to our customers under
an agreement to repurchase them the next day. These repurchase agreements are with customers who
have other banking relationships with us. As of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, total
customer repurchases
were $426.1 million and $357.8 million, respectively, with weighted average annual interest
rates of 1.04% and 1.29%. As of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, total funds borrowed under
these agreements were $676.1 million and $607.8 million, respectively.
45
Table of Contents
We also entered into long-term borrowing agreements (borrowings with original maturities of
one year or longer) with the FHLB. We had outstanding balances of $950.0 million under these
agreements at both June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008. The weighted average annual interest rate
was 4.09% at both June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. The FHLB holds certain
investment securities and loans of the Bank as collateral for these borrowings.
The Bank has an agreement, known as the Treasury Tax & Loan (TT&L) Note Option Program, with
the Federal Reserve Bank and the U.S. Department of Treasury in which federal tax deposits made by
depositors can be held by the bank until called (withdrawn) by the U.S. Department of Treasury. The
maximum amount of accumulated federal tax deposits allowable to be held by the Bank, as set forth
in the agreement, is $15.0 million. On June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 the amounts held by the
Bank in the TT&L Note Option Program were $9.0 million and $5.4 million, collateralized by
securities, respectively. Amounts are payable on demand.
At June 30, 2009, borrowed funds totaled $1.64 billion, representing a decrease of $710.7
million, or 30.23%, from total borrowed funds of $2.35 billion at December 31, 2008.

Deposits represent non-interest bearing, money market, savings, NOW, certificates of deposits,
brokered and all other deposits.
Repurchase agreements represent amounts due to customers, in addition to, the repurchase
agreement with J.P. Morgan.
FHLB borrowings represent the amounts that are due to the Federal Home Loan Bank. These
borrowings have fixed maturity dates. Other borrowings represent the amounts on FCB subordinated
debt and TT&L.
Junior subordinated debentures represent the amounts that are due from the Company to CVB
Statutory Trust I, CVB Statutory Trust II & CVB Statutory Trust III. The debentures have the same
maturity as the Trust Preferred Securities. CVB Statutory Trust I, which matures in 2033, became
callable in whole or in part in December 2008. CVB Statutory Trust II, which matures in 2034,
became
callable in whole or in part in January 2009. CVB Statutory Trust III, which matures in 2036,
will become callable in whole or in part in 2011. It also represents FCB Capital Trust II which
matures in 2033 and became callable in 2008. We have not called any of our debentures as of June
30, 2009.
Deferred compensation primarily represents the amounts that are due to former employees
salary continuation agreements as a result of acquisitions.
46
Table of Contents
Operating leases represent the total minimum lease payments under noncancelable operating
leases.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
At June 30, 2009, we had commitments to extend credit of approximately $583.5 million and
obligations under letters of credit of $63.2 million and available lines of credit totaling $1.12
billion from certain institutions. Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to
customers, provided there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments
generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a
fee. Commitments are generally variable rate, and many of these commitments are expected to expire
without being drawn upon. As such, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future
cash requirements. The Bank uses the same credit underwriting policies in granting or accepting
such commitments or contingent obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments, which
consist of evaluating customers creditworthiness individually. The Company has a reserve for
undisbursed commitments of $5.5 million as of June 30, 2009 and $4.2 million as of December 31,
2008.
Standby letters of credit written are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee
the financial performance of a customer to a third party. Those guarantees are primarily issued to
support private borrowing arrangements. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is
essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. When deemed
necessary, the Bank holds appropriate collateral supporting those commitments.

Liquidity and Cash Flow
Since the primary sources and uses of funds for the Bank are deposits and loans, the
relationship between gross loans and total deposits provides a useful measure of the Banks
liquidity. Typically, the closer the ratio of loans to deposits is to 100%, the more reliant the
Bank is on its loan portfolio to provide for short-term liquidity needs. Since repayment of loans
tends to be less predictable than the maturity of investments and other liquid resources, the
higher the loan to deposit ratio the less liquid are the Banks assets. For the first six months
of 2009, the Banks loan to deposit ratio averaged 97.98%, compared to an average ratio of 104.61%
for the same period in 2008. The Banks ratio of loans to
deposits and customer repurchases averaged 88.31% for the first six months of 2009 and 94.02% for
the same period in 2008.
CVB is a company separate and apart from the Bank that must provide for its own liquidity and
must service its own obligations, including dividend obligations on the cumulative preferred stock
we issued to the United States Treasury as part of our participation in the Capital Purchase
Program and interest obligations in connection with our outstanding trust preferred securities. If
CVB does not meet its dividend or interest obligations on preferred stock or its trust preferred
securities, it would be restricted in its ability to pay dividends on our common stock.
Substantially all of CVBs revenues are obtained from dividends declared and paid by the Bank. The
remaining cash flow is from rents paid by third parties on office space in the Companys corporate
headquarters. CVB has demonstrated its own ability to raise additional funds in the capital
markets. There are statutory and regulatory provisions that could limit the
47
Table of Contents
ability of the Bank to
pay dividends to CVB. In addition, our regulators could limit the ability of the Bank or the
Company to pay dividends or make other distributions. At June 30, 2009, approximately $112.8
million of the Banks equity was unrestricted and available to be paid as dividends to CVB.
Management of CVB believes that such restrictions will not have an impact on the ability of CVB to
meet its ongoing cash obligations.
For the Bank, sources of funds normally include principal payments on loans and investments,
other borrowed funds, and growth in deposits. Uses of funds include withdrawal of deposits,
interest paid on deposits, increased loan balances, purchases, and other operating expenses.
Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $41.1 million for the first six months of
2009, compared to $39.3 million for the same period last year. The increase in cash provided by
operating activities is primarily attributed to a decrease in interest paid on deposits offset by
an increase in cash paid for income taxes.
Net cash provided by investing activities totaled $337.6 million for the first six months of
2009, compared to net cash used in investing activities of $157.6 million for the same period in
2008. The increase in cash provided by investing activities was primarily the result of the sales
and repayments of mortgage-backed securities during the first six months of 2009.
Net cash used in financing activities totaled $252.7 million for the first six months of 2009,
compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $139.8 million for the same period last
year. The increase was primarily due to repayment of FHLB advances and decrease in other
borrowings, offset by increases in deposits.
At June 30, 2009, cash and cash equivalents totaled $221.2 million. This represented an
increase of $110.3 million, or 99.38%, over a total of $111.0 million at June 30, 2008 and an
increase of $125.9 million, or 132.16%, over a total of $95.3 million at December 31, 2008.
Capital Resources
Historically, our primary source of capital has been the retention of operating earnings. In
order to ensure adequate levels of capital, we conduct an ongoing assessment of projected sources
and uses of capital in conjunction with projected increases in assets and the level of risk. As
part of this ongoing assessment, the Board of Directors reviews the various components of capital,
including the costs, benefits and impact of the Companys continued participation in the United
States Treasurys Capital Purchase Program, and the availability of alternative sources of capital.
Although we are not one of the 19 large financial institutions required to conduct a
forward-looking capital assessment, or stress test, pursuant to the U.S. Treasurys Capital
Assistance Program (CAP), the stress assessment requirements under the CAP or similar requirements
could be extended or otherwise impact financial institutions
beyond the 19 participating institutions, including us. As a result, we could determine
independently or, our regulators could require us, to raise additional capital.
The Bank and the Company are required to meet risk-based capital standards set by their
respective regulatory authorities. The risk-based capital standards require the achievement of a
minimum ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets of 8.0% (of which at least 4.0% must be Tier
1 capital). In addition, the regulatory authorities require the highest rated institutions to
maintain a minimum leverage ratio of 4.0%. To be considered well-capitalized for bank regulatory
purposes, the Bank and the Company are required to have a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio equal to
or greater than 6%, a total risk-based capital ratio equal to or greater than 10% and a Tier 1
leverage ratio equal to or greater than 5%. At June 30, 2009, the Bank and the Company exceeded
the minimum risk-based capital ratios and leverage ratios required to be considered
well-capitalized for regulatory purposes.

Table of Contents
The Companys equity capital was $623.4 million at June 30, 2009. This represented an increase
of $8.5 million, or 1.38%, over equity capital of $614.9 million at December 31, 2008. The increase
was due primarily to the net earnings for the first six months of 2009 in the amount of $29.0
million offset by the payment of common and preferred dividends in the amount of $18.1 million.
The Companys 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K (Managements Discussion and Analysis and Note 16 of
the accompanying financial statements) describes the regulatory capital requirements of the Company
and the Bank. Common stock holders are entitled to receive dividends declared by the Board of
Directors out of funds legally available for such payment. Although we have historically paid cash
dividends on our common stock, we are not required to do so and our Board of Directors could reduce
or eliminate our common stock dividend in the future.
The table below presents the Companys and the Banks risk-based and leverage capital ratios
as of June 30, 2009, and December 31, 2008.

RISK MANAGEMENT
We have adopted a Risk Management Plan to ensure the proper control and management of all risk
factors inherent in the operation of the Company and the Bank. Specifically, credit risk, interest
rate risk, liquidity risk, transaction risk, compliance risk, strategic risk, reputation risk,
price risk and foreign exchange risk, can all affect the market risk exposure of the Company. These
specific risk factors are not mutually exclusive. It is recognized that any product or service
offered by us may expose the Bank to one or more of these risks. Our Risk Management Committee and
Risk Management Department monitors these risks to minimize exposure to the Company.
Credit Risk
Credit risk is defined as the risk to earnings or capital arising from an obligors failure to
meet the terms of any contract or otherwise fail to perform as agreed. Credit risk is found in all
activities where success depends on counter party, issuer, or borrower performance. Credit risk
arises through the extension of loans and leases, certain securities, and letters of credit.
Credit risk in the investment portfolio and correspondent bank accounts is addressed through
defined limits in the Banks policy statements. In addition, certain securities carry insurance to
enhance credit quality of the bond. Limitations on industry concentration, aggregate customer
borrowings, geographic boundaries and standards on loan quality also are designed to reduce loan
credit risk. Senior Management, Directors Committees, and the Board of Directors are provided with
information to appropriately identify, measure, control and monitor the credit risk of the Bank.
Implicit in lending activities is the risk that losses will occur and that the amount of such
losses will vary over time. Consequently, we maintain an allowance for credit losses by charging a
provision for credit losses to earnings. Loans determined to be losses are charged against the
allowance for credit losses. Our allowance for credit losses is maintained at a level considered by
us to be adequate to provide for estimated probable losses inherent in the existing portfolio.
49
Table of Contents
The allowance for credit losses is based upon estimates of probable losses inherent in the
loan and lease portfolio. The nature of the process by which we determine the appropriate allowance
for credit losses requires the exercise of considerable judgment. The amount actually observed in
respect of these losses can vary significantly from the estimated amounts. We employ a systematic
methodology that is intended to reduce the differences between estimated and actual losses.
Our methodology for assessing the appropriateness of the allowance is conducted on a regular
basis and considers all loans. The systematic methodology consists of two major elements.
The first major element includes a detailed analysis of the loan portfolio in two phases. The
first phase is conducted in accordance with SFAS No. 114, Accounting by Creditors for the
Impairment of a Loan, as amended by SFAS No. 118, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a
Loan Income Recognition and Disclosures. Individual loans are reviewed to identify loans for
impairment. A loan is impaired when principal and interest are deemed uncollectible in accordance
with the original contractual terms of the loan. Impairment is measured as either the expected
future cash flows discounted at each loans effective interest rate, the fair value of the loans
collateral if the loan is collateral dependent, or an observable market price of the loan (if one
exists). Upon measuring the impairment, we will ensure an appropriate level of allowance is present
or established.
Central to the first phase of our credit risk management is its loan risk rating system. The
originating credit officer assigns borrowers an initial risk rating, which is reviewed and possibly
changed by Credit Management. The risk rating is based primarily on a thorough analysis of each
borrowers financial capacity in conjunction with industry and economic trends. Credit approvals
are made based upon the amount of inherent credit risk specific to the transaction and are reviewed
for appropriateness by senior line and Credit Management personnel. Credits are monitored by line
and Credit Management personnel for deterioration in a borrowers financial condition, which would
impact the ability of the borrower to perform under the contract. Risk ratings are adjusted as
necessary.
Loans are risk rated into the following categories: Pass, Special Mention, Substandard,
Doubtful, and Loss. Each of these groups is assessed and appropriate amounts used in determining
the adequacy of our allowance for losses. The Impaired and Doubtful loans are analyzed on an
individual basis for allowance amounts. The other categories have formulae used to determine the
needed allowance amount.
The Bank obtains a quarterly independent credit review by engaging an outside party to review
our loans. The primary purpose of this review is to evaluate our existing loan ratings and provide
an assessment as to the effectiveness of our allowance process.
Based on the risk rating system, specific allowances are established in cases where we have
identified significant conditions or circumstances related to a credit that we believe indicates
the probability that a loss has been incurred. We perform a detailed analysis of these loans,
including, but not limited to, cash flows, appraisals of the collateral, conditions of the
marketplace for liquidating the collateral and assessment of the guarantors. We then determine the
inherent loss potential and allocate a portion of the allowance for losses as a specific allowance
for each of these credits.
The second phase is conducted by evaluating or segmenting the remainder of the loan portfolio
into groups or pools of loans with similar characteristics in accordance with SFAS No. 5,
Accounting for Contingencies. In this second phase, groups or pools of homogeneous loans are
reviewed to determine a portfolio formula allowance. In the case of the portfolio formula
allowance, homogeneous portfolios, such as small business loans, consumer loans, agricultural
loans, and real estate loans, are aggregated or pooled in determining the appropriate allowance.
The risk assessment process in this case emphasizes trends in the different portfolios for
delinquency, loss, and other-behavioral characteristics of the subject portfolios.
The second major element in our methodology for assessing the appropriateness of the allowance
consists of our considerations of all known relevant internal and external factors that may affect
a loans
50
Table of Contents
collectability. This includes our estimates of the amounts necessary for concentrations,
economic uncertainties, the volatility of the market value of collateral, and other relevant
factors. The relationship of the two major elements of the allowance to the total allowance may
fluctuate from period to period.
In the second major element of the analysis which considers all known relevant internal and
external factors that may affect a loans collectability, we perform an evaluation of various
conditions, the effects of which are not directly measured in the determination of the formula and
specific allowances. The evaluation of the inherent loss with respect to these conditions is
subject to a higher degree of uncertainty because they are not identified with specific problem
credits or portfolio segments. The conditions evaluated in connection with the second element of
the analysis of the allowance include, but are not limited to the following conditions that existed
as of the balance sheet date:
| then-existing general economic and business conditions affecting the key lending areas of the Company, | ||
| then-existing economic and business conditions of areas outside the lending areas, such as other sections of the United States, Asia and Latin America, | ||
| credit quality trends (including trends in non-performing loans expected to result from existing conditions), | ||
| collateral values | ||
| loan volumes and concentrations, | ||
| seasoning of the loan portfolio, | ||
| specific industry conditions within portfolio segments, | ||
| recent loss experience in particular segments of the portfolio, duration of the current business cycle, | ||
| bank regulatory examination results and | ||
| findings of the Companys external credit examiners. |
We review these conditions in discussion with our senior credit officers. To the extent that
any of these conditions is evidenced by a specifically identifiable problem credit or portfolio
segment as of the evaluation date, our estimate of the effect of such condition may be reflected as
a specific allowance applicable to such credit or portfolio segment. Where any of these conditions
is not evidenced by a
specifically identifiable problem credit or portfolio segment as of the evaluation date, our
evaluation of the inherent loss related to such condition is reflected in the second major element
of the allowance. Although we have allocated a portion of the allowance to specific loan
categories, the adequacy of the allowance must be considered in its entirety.
Table 7 presents a comparison of net credit losses, the provision for credit losses (including
adjustments incidental to mergers), and the resulting allowance for credit losses for the six
months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008.

While we believe that the allowance at June 30, 2009, was adequate to absorb losses from any
known or inherent risks in the portfolio, no assurance can be given that economic conditions or
natural disasters which adversely affect the Companys service areas or other circumstances or
conditions,
including those identified above, will not be reflected in increased provisions or credit
losses in the future.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Market Risk
In the normal course of our business activities, we are exposed to market risks, including
price and liquidity risk. Market risk is the potential of loss from adverse changes in market rates
and prices, such as interest rates (interest rate risk). Liquidity risk arises from the possibility
that we may not be able to satisfy current or future commitments or that we may be more reliant on
alternative funding sources such as long-term debt. Financial products that expose us to market
risk include securities, loans, deposits, debts and derivative financial instruments.
Counterparty Risk
Recent developments in the financial markets have placed an increased awareness of
Counterparty Risks. These risks occur when a financial institution has an indebtedness or
potential for indebtedness to another financial institution. We have assessed our Counterparty
Risk at the end of the second quarter with the following results:
| We have $250 million in a repurchase agreement with an embedded double cap. We entered into this transaction in September 2006 to protect against rising interest rates. The repurchase agreement is with JP Morgan. The Moodys public debt rating for this institution is Aa3. | ||
| We do not have any investments in the preferred stock of any other company. | ||
| We do not have in our investment portfolio any trust preferred securities of any other company. | ||
| All of our investment securities are either municipal securities or securities backed by mortgages, FNMA, FHLMC or FHLB. | ||
| All of our commercial line insurance policies are with companies with the highest AM Best ratings of AXII or above. | ||
| We have no significant counterparty exposure related to derivatives such as interest rate swaps. | ||
| We have no significant exposure to our Cash Surrender Value of Life insurance since most of the insurance companies carry an AM Best rating of A or greater. | ||
| We have $255.0 million in Fed Funds lines of credit with other banks. All of these banks are major U.S. banks, with over $15.0 billion in assets. We rely on these funds for overnight borrowings. |
Interest Rate Risk
During periods of changing interest rates, the ability to reprice interest-earning assets and
interest-bearing liabilities can influence net interest income, the net interest margin, and
consequently, our earnings. Interest rate risk is managed by attempting to control the spread
between rates earned on interest-earning assets and the rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities
within the constraints imposed by market competition in the Banks service area. Short-term
repricing risk is minimized by controlling the level of floating rate loans and maintaining a
downward sloping ladder of bond payments and maturities. Basis risk is managed by the timing and
magnitude of changes to interest-bearing deposit rates. Yield curve risk is reduced by keeping the
duration of the loan and bond portfolios balanced to attempt to minimize the risks of rising or
falling yields. Options risk in the bond portfolio is monitored monthly and actions are recommended
when appropriate.
We monitor the interest rate sensitivity risk to earnings from potential changes in interest
rates using various methods, including a maturity/repricing gap analysis. This analysis measures,
at specific time intervals, the differences between earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities
for which repricing opportunities will occur. A positive difference, or gap, indicates that earning assets will
reprice faster than interest-bearing liabilities. This will generally produce a greater net
interest margin during periods of rising interest rates, and a lower net interest margin during
periods of declining interest rates. Conversely,
53

a negative gap will generally produce a lower net
interest margin during periods of rising interest rates and a greater net interest margin during
periods of decreasing interest rates.
The interest rates paid on deposit accounts do not always move in unison with the rates
charged on loans. In addition, the magnitude of changes in the rates charged on loans is not always
proportionate to the magnitude of changes in the rates paid for deposits. Consequently, changes in
interest rates do not necessarily result in an increase or decrease in the net interest margin
solely as a result of the differences between repricing opportunities of earning assets or
interest-bearing liabilities. In general, whether we report a positive gap in the short-term period
or negative gap in the long-term period does not necessarily indicate that, if interest rates
decreased, net interest income would increase, or if interest rates increased, net interest income
would decrease.
Approximately $1.6 billion, or 70%, of the total investment portfolio at June 30, 2009
consisted of securities backed by mortgages. The final maturity of these securities can be affected
by the speed at which the underlying mortgages repay. Mortgages tend to repay faster as interest
rates fall, and slower as interest rates rise. As a result, we may be subject to a prepayment
risk resulting from greater funds available for reinvestment at a time when available yields are
lower. Conversely, we may be subject to extension risk resulting from lesser amounts available
for reinvestment at a time when available yields are higher. Prepayment risk includes the risk
associated with the payment of an investments principal faster than originally intended. Extension
risk is the risk associated with the payment of an investments principal over a longer time period
than originally anticipated. In addition, there can be greater risk of price volatility for
mortgage-backed securities as a result of anticipated prepayment or extension risk.
We also utilize the results of a dynamic simulation model to quantify the estimated exposure
of net interest income to sustained interest rate changes. The sensitivity of our net interest
income is measured over a rolling two-year horizon.
The simulation model estimates the impact of changing interest rates on the interest income
from all interest-earning assets and the interest expense paid on all interest-bearing liabilities
reflected on the Companys balance sheet. This sensitivity analysis is compared to policy limits,
which specify a maximum tolerance level for net interest income exposure over a one-year horizon
assuming no balance sheet growth, given a 200 basis point upward and 100 basis point downward shift
in interest rates. A parallel and pro rata shift in rates over a 12-month period is assumed.
The following depicts the Companys net interest income sensitivity analysis as of June 30,
2009:
Estimated Net | ||||
Simulated | Interest Income | |||
Rate Changes | Sensitivity | |||
+ 200 basis points |
(2.81 | %) | ||
- 100 basis points |
0.30 | % |
The Company is currently more liability sensitive. The estimated sensitivity does not
necessarily represent our forecast and the results may not be indicative of actual changes to our
net interest income. These estimates are based upon a number of assumptions including: the nature and timing of
interest rate levels including yield curve shape, prepayments on loans and securities, pricing
strategies on loans and deposits, and replacement of asset and liability cash flows. While the
assumptions used are based on current economic and local market conditions, there is no assurance
as to the predictive nature of these conditions including how customer preferences or competitor
influences might change.

Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk to earnings or capital resulting from our inability to meet our
obligations when they come due without incurring unacceptable losses. It includes the ability to
manage unplanned decreases or changes in funding sources and to recognize or address changes in
market conditions that affect our ability to liquidate assets quickly and with minimum loss of
value. Factors considered in liquidity risk management are stability of the deposit base;
marketability, maturity, and pledging of investments; and the demand for credit.
In general, liquidity risk is managed daily by controlling the level of fed funds and the use
of funds provided by the cash flow from the investment portfolio. To meet unexpected demands, lines
of credit are maintained with correspondent banks, the Federal Home Loan Bank and the Federal
Reserve Bank. The sale of bonds maturing in the near future can also serve as a contingent source
of funds. Increases in deposit rates are considered a last resort as a means of raising funds to
increase liquidity.
Transaction Risk
Transaction risk is the risk to earnings or capital arising from problems in service or
product delivery. This risk is significant within any bank and is interconnected with other risk
categories in most activities throughout the Bank. Transaction risk is a function of internal
controls, information systems, associate integrity, and operating processes. It arises daily
throughout the Bank as transactions are processed. It pervades all divisions, departments and
branches and is inherent in all products and services we offer.
In general, transaction risk is defined as high, medium or low by the internal auditors during
the audit process. The audit plan ensures that high-risk areas are reviewed at least annually. We
utilize a third party audit firm to provide internal audit services.
The key to monitoring transaction risk is in the design, documentation and implementation of
well-defined procedures. All transaction related procedures include steps to report events that
might increase transaction risk. Dual controls are also a form of monitoring.
Compliance Risk
Compliance risk is the risk to earnings or capital arising from violations of, or
non-conformance with, laws, rules, regulations, prescribed practices, or ethical standards.
Compliance risk also arises in situations where the laws or rules governing certain Bank products
or activities of the Banks customers may be ambiguous or untested. Compliance risk exposes us to
fines, civil money penalties, payment of damages, and the voiding of contracts. Compliance risk can
also lead to a diminished reputation, reduced business value, limited business opportunities,
lessened expansion potential, and lack of contract enforceability.
There is no single or primary source of compliance risk. It is inherent in every Bank
activity. Frequently, it blends into operational risk and transaction processing. A portion of this
risk is sometimes referred to as legal risk. This is not limited solely to risk from failure to
comply with consumer protection
laws; it encompasses all laws, as well as prudent ethical standards and contractual
obligations. It also includes the exposure to litigation from all aspects of banking, traditional
and non-traditional.
Our Risk Management Policy and Program and the Code of Ethical Conduct are the cornerstone for
controlling compliance risk. An integral part of controlling this risk is the proper training of
associates. The Chief Risk Officer is responsible for developing and executing a comprehensive
compliance training program. The Chief Risk Officer will ensure that each associate receives
adequate training with regard to their position to ensure that laws and regulations are not
violated. All associates who deal in compliance high risk areas are trained to be knowledgeable
about the level and severity of exposure in those areas and the policies and procedures in place to
control such exposure.
Our Risk Management Policy and Program includes an audit program aimed at identifying problems
and ensuring that problems are corrected. The audit program includes two levels of review. One is
in-
55
Table of Contents
depth audits performed by an external firm and the other is periodic monitoring performed by the
Risk Management Division.
The Bank utilizes an external firm to conduct compliance audits as a means of identifying
weaknesses in the compliance program itself. The external firms audit plan includes a periodic
review of each branch and department of the Bank.
The branch or department that is the subject of an audit is required to respond to the audit
and correct any violations noted. The Chief Risk Officer will review audit findings and the
response provided by the branch or department to identify areas which pose a significant compliance
risk.
The Risk Management Division conducts periodic monitoring of our compliance efforts with a
special focus on those areas that expose us to compliance risk. The purpose of the periodic
monitoring is to ensure that our associates are adhering to established policies and procedures
adopted by the Bank. The Chief Risk Officer will notify the appropriate department head and the
Management Compliance Committee, the Audit Committee and the Risk Management Committee of any
violations noted. The branch or department that is the subject of the review will be required to
respond to the findings and correct any noted violations.
The Bank recognizes that customer complaints can often identify weaknesses in our compliance
program which could expose the Bank to risk. Therefore, all complaints are given prompt attention.
Our Risk Management Policy and Program includes provisions on how customer complaints are to be
addressed. The Chief Risk Officer reviews all complaints to determine if a significant compliance
risk exists and communicates those findings to the Risk Management Committee.
Strategic Risk
Strategic risk is the risk to earnings or capital arising from adverse decisions or improper
implementation of strategic decisions. This risk is a function of the compatibility between an
organizations goals, the resources deployed against those goals and the quality of implementation.
Strategic risks are identified as part of the strategic planning process. Offsite strategic
planning sessions are held annually. The strategic review consists of an economic assessment,
competitive analysis, industry outlook and legislative and regulatory review.
A primary measurement of strategic risk is peer group analysis. Key performance ratios are
compared to three separate peer groups to identify any sign of weakness and potential
opportunities. The peer group consists of:
1. | All banks of comparable size | ||
2. | High performing banks | ||
3. | A list of specific banks |
Another measure is the comparison of the actual results of previous strategic initiatives
against the expected results established prior to implementation of each strategy.
The corporate strategic plan is formally presented to all branch managers and department
managers at an annual leadership conference.
Reputation Risk
Reputation risk is the risk to capital and earnings arising from negative public opinion. This
affects our ability to establish new relationships or services, or continue servicing existing
relationships. It can expose us to litigation and, in some instances, financial loss.
56

Price and Foreign Exchange Risk
Price risk arises from changes in market factors that affect the value of traded instruments.
Foreign exchange risk is the risk to earnings or capital arising from movements in foreign exchange
rates.
Our current exposure to price risk is nominal. We do not have trading accounts. Consequently,
the level of price risk within the investment portfolio is limited to the need to sell securities
for reasons other than trading. The section of this policy pertaining to liquidity risk addresses
this risk.
We maintain deposit accounts with various foreign banks. Our Interbank Liability Policy limits
the balance in any of these accounts to an amount that does not present a significant risk to our
earnings from changes in the value of foreign currencies.
Our asset liability model calculates the market value of the Banks equity. In addition,
management prepares on a monthly basis a Capital Volatility report that compares changes in the
market value of the investment portfolio.
The Balance Sheet Management Policy requires the submission of a Fair Value Matrix Report to
the Balance Sheet Management Committee on a quarterly basis. The report calculates the economic
value of equity under different interest rate scenarios, revealing the level or price risk of the
Banks interest sensitive asset and liability portfolios.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation of the
effectiveness of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures under the supervision and with
the participation of the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer and other senior
management of the Company. Based on the foregoing, the Companys Chief Executive Officer and the
Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures were
effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.
During our most recent fiscal quarter, there have been no changes in our internal control over
financial reporting that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our
internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
We may be required to make additional provisions for loan losses and charge off
additional loans in the future, which could adversely affect our results of operations.
For the six months ended June 30, 2009, we recorded a $42.0 million provision for
credit losses and charged-off $21.2 million in loans, net of $645,000 of recoveries.
There has been a significant slowdown in the real estate markets in portions of Los
Angeles, Riverside, San Bernardino and Orange counties and the Central Valley area of
California where a majority of our loan customers, including our largest borrowing
relationships, are based. This slowdown reflects declining prices in real estate, excess
inventories of homes and increasing vacancies in commercial and industrial properties, all
of which have contributed to financial strain on real estate developers and suppliers. As
of June 30, 2009, we had $2.3 billion in real estate loans and $303.6 million in
construction loans. Continuing deterioration in the real estate market could affect the
ability of our loan customers, including our largest borrowing relationships, to service
their debt, which could result in loan charge-offs and provisions for credit losses in the
future, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, net income
and capital.
Except as described above, there are no material changes to the risk factors as
previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2008,. The materialization of any risks and uncertainties identified in our Forward
Looking Statements contained in this report together with those previously disclosed in
the Form 10-K and any subsequent Form 10-Q or those that are presently unforeseen could
result in significant adverse effects on our financial condition, results of operations
and cash flows. See Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations General in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
We did not repurchase any securities during the six months ended June 30, 2009. Our
Board of Directors has authorized the repurchase of up to 10,000,000 shares of our common
stock which remain to be repurchased at June 30, 2009. We are currently subject to
restrictions relating to repurchasing our common stock as a result of our participation in
the United States Treasury Capital Purchase Program.
