PART I   ITEM 1 -                DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS   General   Central Valley Community Bancorp (the “Company”) was incorporated on February 7, 2000 as a California corporation, for the purpose of becoming the holding company for Central Valley Community Bank (the “Bank”), formerly known as Clovis Community Bank, a California state chartered bank, through a corporate reorganization.  In the reorganization, the Bank became the wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and the shareholders of the Bank became the shareholders of the Company.  The Company is registered as a bank holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the “BHC Act”), and is subject to supervision and regulation by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Board of Governors”).   At December 31, 2005, we had one banking subsidiary, the Bank. Our principal business is to provide, through our banking subsidiary, financial services in our primary market area in California. We serve Fresno County, Madera County, and Sacramento County and their surrounding areas through the Bank. We do not currently conduct any operations other than through the Bank. Unless the context otherwise requires, references to us refer to the Company and the Bank on a consolidated basis. At December 31, 2005, we had consolidated total assets of approximately $483,677,000. See Items 7 and 8, Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation and  Financial Statements.   During 2004 and 2003, we had  approved stock repurchase plans authorizing the purchase of shares up to a total cost of $500,000, or approximately 2% of our common stock, in each year.  We had no repurchase plan in place for 2005.  As of December 31, 2004 and 2003, the Company repurchased 18,000 and 10,926 shares at a total cost of $213,000 and $81,000, respectively.  On October 20, 2004, the Company announced the suspension of the 2004 stock repurchase plan.   1        As of March 15, 2006, we had a total of 151 employees and 133 full time equivalent employees, including the employees of the Bank.   After the close of business on December 31, 2004, we completed our merger with Bank of Madera County (“BMC”) and BMC was merged into the Bank.  We believe that the merger allows us to further accommodate a growing customer base in Madera County, provided Bank of Madera County customers with more convenient locations in the Central Valley, as well as offering new advancement and geographic opportunities for the BMC employees.  As a result of the above factors, we believe that the potential for the combined performance exceeded what each entity could accomplish independently and the goodwill in this transaction arose from the synergies associated with the merger.  The acquisition was part our long-term strategy to increase our presence from Sacramento to Bakersfield along the Highway 99 corridor and the surrounding foothills.   As of the date of acquisition, BMC had total assets of $68,080,000, comprised of $2,842,000 in cash and due from banks, $19,250,000 in Federal funds sold, $45,028,000 in loans (net of allowance for credit losses of $751,000), $390,000 in premises and equipment and $570,000 in other assets.  Total liabilities acquired amounted to $64,208,000, including $63,769,000 in deposits. The accompanying audited Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this Annual Report include the accounts of BMC since January 1, 2005.   The Bank   The Bank was organized in 1979 and commenced business as a California state chartered bank in 1980.  The deposits of the Bank are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”) up to applicable limits.  The Bank is not a member of the Federal Reserve System.   The Bank operates ten full-service banking offices in Clovis, Fresno, Kerman, Madera, Oakhurst, Sacramento, and Prather, California. The Oakhurst and Madera branches were added through the BMC merger.  One of the offices is in a Save Mart Supermarket and offers extended banking hours, including Saturday hours, for the convenience of the Bank’s customers.  The Bank established a Real Estate Division in 1995 in a freestanding facility in downtown Clovis. All real estate related transactions are conducted and processed through the Real Estate Division, including interim construction loans for single family residences and commercial buildings. All types of permanent single family residential loans are also offered.  According to the June 30, 2005 FDIC data, the six (6) branches in Fresno County (Clovis, Fresno, Kerman, and Prather branches) have a 5.0% combined deposit market share of all banks and 4.0% of all depositories including credit unions, thrifts, and savings banks.   During 2005, the Bank relocated its Herndon – Clovis office which is located within a Save Mart supermarket, to a new Save Mart  supermarket location on the same thoroughfare approximately 1 mile to the East.   The Bank also opened  its new branch office in downtown Fresno on February 13, 2006.   The Bank anticipates additional branch openings to meet the growing service needs of its customers.  The branch expansions provide the Company with opportunities to expand its loan and deposit base; however, based on past experience, management expects these new offices will initially have a negative impact on earnings until the volume of business grows to cover fixed overhead expenses.   The Bank anticipates establishing an interest in Central Valley Community Insurance Services, LLC (“Insurance Services”) in 2006.  The purpose of this new entity is to market insurance products and services primarily to business customers in the area of employee benefit plans.   The Bank conducts a commercial banking business, which includes accepting demand, savings and time deposits and making commercial, real estate and consumer loans. It also issues cashier’s checks, sells traveler’s checks and provides safe deposit boxes and other customary banking services. The Bank also has offered Internet Banking since 2000. Internet Banking consists of inquiry, account status, bill paying, account transfers, and cash management. The Bank does not offer trust services or international banking services and does not currently plan to do so in the near future.   Since August of 1995 the Bank has been a party to an agreement with Investment Centers of America, pursuant to which Investment Centers of America provides Bank customers with access to investment services.  In connection with entering into this agreement, the Bank adopted a policy intended to comply with FDIC Regulation Section 337.4, which outlines the guidelines under which an insured non-member bank may be affiliated with a company that directly engages in the sale, distribution, or underwriting of stock, bonds, debentures, notes, or other securities.   2        The Bank’s operating policy since its inception has emphasized serving the banking needs of individuals and the business and professional communities in the central valley area of California.  At December 31, 2005, we had total loans of $302,394,000.  Total commercial and industrial loans outstanding were $83,138,000; total agricultural loans outstanding were $17,547,000, total real estate construction, land development and other land loans outstanding were $46,523,000; total other real estate loans outstanding were $124,043,000, total equity lines of credit were $23,604,000 and total consumer installment loans outstanding were $7,539,000. We accept real estate, listed and unlisted securities, savings and time deposits, automobiles, inventory, machinery and equipment as collateral for loans.   No individual or single group of related accounts is considered material in relation to the Bank’s assets or deposits, or in relation to the overall business of the Company. However, at December 31, 2005 approximately 64.2% of our loan portfolio held for investment consisted of real estate-related loans, including construction loans, real estate mortgage loans and commercial loans secured by real estate and 27.5% consisted of commercial loans.  See Item 7 - Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. We believe that these concentrations are mitigated by the diversification of our loan portfolio among commercial, commercial and residential construction, commercial mortgage, home equity and consumer loans. In addition, our business activities currently are mainly concentrated in Fresno County, California. Consequently, our results of operations and financial condition are dependent upon the general trends in this part of the California economy and, in particular, the residential and commercial real estate markets. In addition, our concentration of operations in this area of California exposes us to greater risk than other banking companies with a wider geographic base in the event of catastrophes, such as earthquakes, fires and floods in this region or as a result of energy shortages in California.   Our deposits are attracted from individual and commercial customers.  A material portion of our deposits have not been obtained from a single person or a few persons, the loss of any one or more of which would have a material adverse effect on our business.   In order to attract loan and deposit business from individuals and small businesses, we maintain the following lobby hours at our branches:      Branch       Monday –   Thursday       Friday       Saturday                                   Clovis Main       9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.       9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.       None                                   Clovis Main Drive Up       8:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.       8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.       None                                   Foothill       9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.       9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.       9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.                                   Herndon & Fowler       10:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.       10:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.       10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.                                   Fig Garden Village       9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.       9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.       10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.                                   Kerman       9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.       9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.       None                                   River Park       9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.       9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.       10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.                                   River Park Drive Up       9:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.       9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.       10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.                                   Sacramento Private Banking       9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.       9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.       None                                   Oakhurst       8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.       8:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.       None                                   Madera       8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.       8:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.       None                                   Fresno Downtown       9:00 a.m. to   4:00 p.m   Walkup window   8:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m       9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.       None      3        Automated teller machines operate at 10 branch locations and 2 non-branch location 24 hours per day, seven days per week.  No automated teller machines are currently located at the Sacramento office.  Our Real Estate and Small Business Administration (“SBA”) Departments maintain business hours of 8:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M., Monday through Friday, and extended hours are available at customer request.   To compete effectively, we rely substantially on local promotional activity, personal contacts by our officers, directors and employees, referrals by our shareholders, extended hours, personalized service and our reputation in the communities we serve.   In Fresno and Madera Counties, in addition to our ten branch locations, serving the Bank’s primary service areas, as of December 31, 2005 there were 105 operating banking offices in our primary service area, which consists of the cities of Clovis, Fresno, Kerman, Oakhurst, Madera, and Prather, California, of which  80 were offices of regional and major chain banking systems and 25 were offices of other community banks. Prather does not contain any banking offices other than our office. Additionally, our primary service area contains 31 thrift offices. and credit unions.  Business activity in our primary service area is oriented towards light industry, small business and agriculture.   The June 2005 FDIC Summary of Deposits report indicated the Company had 4.0% of the total deposits held by all depositories in Fresno County and 5.6% in Madera County.   In Sacramento County, in addition to our one branch, as of December 31, 2005 there were 275 operating banking offices in our primary service area of which 213 were offices of regional and major chain banking systems and 37 were offices of other community banks.  The Sacramento service area contains 25 thrift offices.   The banking business in California generally, and our primary service area specifically, is highly competitive with respect to both loans and deposits, and is dominated by a relatively small number of major banks with many offices operating over a wide geographic area. Among the advantages such major banks have over us is their ability to finance wide-ranging advertising campaigns and to allocate their investment assets, including loans, to regions of higher yield and demand. Major banks offer certain services such as international banking and trust services which are not offered directly but which usually can be offered indirectly through correspondent institutions. In addition, by virtue of their greater total capitalization, such banks have substantially higher lending limits than we do. Legal lending limits to an individual customer are limited to a percentage of our total capital accounts. As of December 31, 2005, the Bank’s legal loan limits to individual customers were $5,375,000 for unsecured loans and $8,958,000 for unsecured and secured loans combined. For borrowers desiring loans in excess of the Bank’s lending limits, the Bank makes and may, in the future, make such loans on a participation basis with other community banks taking the amount of loans in excess of the Bank’s lending limits. In other cases, the Bank may refer such borrowers to larger banks or other lending institutions.   Other entities, both governmental and in private industry, seeking to raise capital through the issuance and sale of debt or equity securities also provide competition for us in the acquisition of deposits.  Banks also compete with money market funds and other money market instruments, which are not subject to interest rate ceilings. In recent years, increased competition has also developed from specialized finance and non-finance companies that offer wholesale finance, credit card, and other consumer finance services, including on-line banking services and personal finance software.  Competition for deposit and loan products remains strong, from both banking and non-banking firms, and affects the rates of those products as well as the terms on which they are offered to customers.   Technological innovation continues to contribute to greater competition in domestic and international financial services markets. Technological innovation has, for example, made it possible for non-depository institutions to offer customers automated transfer payment services that previously have been traditional banking products. In addition, customers now expect a choice of several delivery systems and channels, including telephone, mail, home computer, ATMs, self-service branches, and in-store branches.   Mergers between financial institutions have placed additional pressure on banks to streamline their operations, reduce expenses, and increase revenues to remain competitive. In addition, competition has intensified due to federal   4        and state interstate banking laws, which permit banking organizations to expand geographically with fewer restrictions than in the past. Such laws allow banks to merge with other banks across state lines, thereby enabling banks to establish or expand banking operations in our market. The competitive environment also is significantly impacted by federal and state legislation, which may make it easier for non-bank financial institutions to compete with us.

Interest income from non-accrual loans is recorded only if collection of principal in full is not in doubt and when and if received.   Loans are placed on non-accrual status and any accrued but unpaid interest income is reversed and charged against income when the payment of interest or principal is ninety days or more past due. Loans in the non-accrual category are treated as non-accrual loans even though we may ultimately recover all or a portion of the interest due. These loans return to accrual status when the loan becomes contractually current and future collectibility of amounts due is reasonably assured. There were $616,000 in  loans on non-accrual at December 31, 2005.  See Note 4 of Company’s audited Consolidated Financial Statements in  Item 8 of this Annual Report.   12        At December 31, 2005 interest foregone on nonaccrual loans totaled $76,000 for the year then ended.  There were no loans on nonaccrual at December 31, 2004 or interest foregone on nonaccrual loans for the year then ended.  Interest foregone on nonaccrual loans totaled $27,000 for the year ended December 31, 2003.   In 2002 and 2001, we had one (1) restructured loan in the principal amount of $615,000 and $627,000, respectively.  At December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003 the Company had no restructured loans.  See Note 4 of the Company’s audited Consolidated Financial Statements in  Item 8 of this Annual Report concerning our recorded investment in loans for which an impairment has been recognized. Impaired loans are identified from internal credit review reports, past due reports, overdraft listings, and regulatory reports of examination. Borrowers experiencing problems such as operating losses, marginal working capital, inadequate cash flow or business interruptions which jeopardize collection of the loan are also reviewed for possible impairment classification.   When a loan is classified as impaired, the net fair value (i.e., the measure of the impaired loan) is computed based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate.  Alternatively, if the loan is collateral dependent, impairment is measured based on the fair value or market price of the collateral.  If the net fair value of the impaired loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan, then the resulting impairment amount is recognized through the allowance for credit losses with a corresponding charge to the provision for credit losses.  A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due (including both principal and interest) in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement.   As of December 31, 2005, we had no loans where known information about possible credit problems of borrowers caused management to have serious doubts as to the ability of such borrowers to comply with the present loan repayment terms and which may result in disclosure of such loans as impaired loans.   13        Table G   SUMMARY OF LOAN LOSS EXPERIENCE   The following table summarizes loan loss experience as of and for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004, 2003, 2002, and 2001.

Our management continues to monitor these credits with a view to identifying as early as possible when, and to what extent, additional provisions may be necessary.   The allowance for credit losses is reviewed at least quarterly by the Bank’s and our Board of Directors’ Audit/Compliance Committee and by the Bank’s and our Board of Directors. Reserves are allocated to loan portfolio segments using percentages which are based on both historical risk elements such as delinquencies and losses and predictive risk elements such as economic, competitive and environmental factors. We have adopted the specific reserve approach to allocate reserves to each adversely graded asset, as well as to each impaired asset for the purpose of estimating potential loss exposure. Although the allowance for credit losses is allocated to various portfolio categories, it is general in nature and available for the loan portfolio in its entirety. Additions may be required based on the results of  independent loan portfolio examinations,  regulatory agency examinations, or our own internal review process. Additions are also required when, in our management’s judgment, the reserve does not properly reflect the potential loss exposure.   For 2005, we added $510,000 to the allowance for credit losses.  The main reason for the provision was two commercial loans that were charged off in the fourth quarter.  The loans were to related borrowers whose business suffered a major event in the fourth quarter which affected their ability to continue their business. We made no additions to the allowance for credit losses in 2004, 2003 and 2002 due mainly to decreased levels of risk-rated loans and increased recoveries on previously charged-off loans.   The provision for credit losses was $622,000 in 2001.  The 2001 provision primarily related to the an increase in non-accrual loans, which totaled $1,109,000 at December 31, 2001 as well as a 30.9% increase in loan volume during 2001.   15        Using the criteria on the previous page, the allocation of the allowance for credit losses is set forth below:              2005       2004       2003       2002       2001         (Dollars in thousands)       Amount       Percent   of Loans   in Each   Category   to Total   Loans       Amount       Percent   of Loans   in Each   Category   to Total   Loans       Amount       Percent   of Loans   in Each   Category   to Total   Loans       Amount       Percent   of Loans   in Each   Category   to Total   Loans       Amount       Percent of   Loans in   Each   Category   to Total   Loans                                                                                                   Commercial and   industrial       $   1,325       27.5   %   $   786       27.5   %   $   717       28.8   %   $   985       41.9   %   $   1,345       35.1   %                                                                                               Real estate   construction, land development and other land loans       378       15.4   %   197       16.9   %   249       13.6   %   85       13.8   %   141       32.3   %                                                                                               Real estate -   other       1,138       41.0   %   898       35.9   %   777       48.5   %   1,039       36.3   %   370       23.8   %                                                                                               Equity lines of   credit       175       7.8   %   136       8.9   %   —       —       —       —       —                                                                                                           Loans to finance   agricultural and other loans to farmers       198       2.5   %   151       7.6   %   540       5.8   %   159       2.5   %   380       0.9   %                                                                                               Loans to   individuals for household, family and other personal expenditures and other   loans       120       5.8   %   178       3.1   %   85       2.3   %   58       3.0   %   62       3.6   %                                                                                               Lease contracts       —       —       —       —       3       0.9   %   —       2.3   %   —       4.1   %                                                                                               Other       1       0.0   %   51       0.1   %   47       0.2   %   40       0.2   %   —       0.2   %                                                                                               Non-specific   reserve       4               300               7               67               176                         $   3,339               $   2,697               $   2,425               $   2,433               $   2,474                  Loans are charged to the allowance for credit losses when the loans are deemed uncollectible.

Such regulation is intended, among other things, to protect depositors whose deposits are insured by the FDIC and the banking system as a whole. The monetary and fiscal policies of the federal government and the policies of regulatory agencies, particularly the Board of Governors, also influence the commercial banking business. The Board of Governors implements national monetary policies (with objectives such as curbing inflation and combating recession) by its open-market operations in United States Government securities, by adjusting the required level of reserves for financial intermediaries subject to its reserve requirements and by varying the discount rates applicable to borrowings by depository institutions. The actions of the Board of Governors in these areas influence the growth of bank loans, investments and deposits and also affect interest rates charged on loans and paid on deposits. Indirectly such actions may also affect the ability of non-bank financial institutions to compete with the Bank. The nature and impact of any future changes in monetary policies cannot be predicted.   The laws, regulations, and policies affecting financial services businesses are continuously under review by Congress and state legislatures, and federal and state regulatory agencies. From time to time, legislation is enacted which has the effect of increasing the cost of doing business, limiting or expanding permissible activities or affecting the competitive balance between banks and other financial intermediaries. Proposals to change the laws and regulations governing the operations and taxation of banks, bank holding companies and other financial intermediaries are frequently made in Congress, in the California legislature and before various bank regulatory and other professional agencies. Changes in the laws, regulations or policies that affect us cannot necessarily be predicted, but they may have a material effect on our business and earnings.   BANK HOLDING COMPANY REGULATION   The Company, as a bank holding company, is subject to regulation under the BHC Act, and is subject to the supervision and examination of the Board of Governors. Pursuant to the BHC Act, we are required to obtain the prior approval of the Board of Governors before it may acquire all or substantially all of the assets of any bank, or ownership or control of voting shares of any bank if, after giving effect to such acquisition, we would own or control, directly or indirectly, more than 5 percent of such bank.   Under the BHC Act, we may not engage in any business other than managing or controlling banks or furnishing services to its subsidiaries that the Board of Governors deems to be so closely related to banking as to be a proper incident to banking. We are also prohibited, with certain exceptions, from acquiring direct or indirect ownership or control of more than 5 percent of the voting shares of any company unless the company is engaged in banking activities or the Board of Governors determines that the activity is so closely related to banking to be a proper incident to banking. The Board of Governors’ approval must be obtained before the shares of any such company can be acquired and, in certain cases, before any approved company can open new offices.   The BHC Act and regulations of the Board of Governors also impose certain constraints on the redemption or purchase by a bank holding company of its own shares of stock.   Our earnings and activities are affected by legislation, by actions of regulators, and by local legislative and administrative bodies and decisions of courts in the jurisdictions in which both the Company and the Bank conduct business. For example, these include limitations on the ability of the Bank to pay dividends to the Company and the ability of the Company to pay dividends to its shareholders. It is the policy of the Board of Governors that bank holding companies should pay cash dividends on common stock only out of income available over the past year and only if prospective earnings retention is consistent with the organization’s expected future needs and financial condition. The policy provides that bank holding companies should not maintain a level of cash dividends that undermines the bank holding company’s ability to serve as a source of strength to its banking subsidiaries. Various federal and state statutory provisions limit the amount of dividends that subsidiary banks can pay to their holding companies without regulatory approval. In addition to these explicit limitations, the federal regulatory agencies are authorized to prohibit a banking subsidiary or bank holding company from   18        engaging in an unsafe or unsound banking practice. Depending upon the circumstances, the agencies could take the position that paying a dividend would constitute an unsafe or unsound banking practice.   In addition, banking subsidiaries of bank holding companies are subject to certain restrictions imposed by federal law in dealings with their holding companies and other affiliates. Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Federal Reserve Act and the recently enacted Regulation W, a bank can make a loan or extend credit to an affiliate, purchase or invest in the securities of an affiliate, purchase assets from an affiliate, accept securities of an affiliate as collateral security for a loan or extension of credit to any person or company, issue a guarantee, or accept letters of credit on behalf of an affiliate only if the aggregate amount of the above transactions of such subsidiary does not exceed 10 percent of such subsidiary’s capital stock and surplus on a per affiliate basis or 20 percent of such subsidiary’s capital stock and surplus on an aggregate affiliate basis. Such transactions must be on terms and conditions that are consistent with safe and sound banking practices. A bank and its subsidiaries generally may not purchase a “low-quality asset,” as that term is defined in the Federal Reserve Act, from an affiliate. Such restrictions also generally prevent a holding company and its other affiliates from borrowing from a banking subsidiary of the holding company unless the loans are secured by collateral.   A holding company and its banking subsidiaries are prohibited from engaging in certain tie-in arrangements in connection with any extension of credit, sale or lease of property or provision of services. For example, with certain exceptions a bank may not condition an extension of credit on a customer obtaining other services provided by it, a holding company or any of its other bank affiliates, or on a promise by the customer not to obtain other services from a competitor.   The Board of Governors has cease and desist powers over parent bank holding companies and non-banking subsidiaries where actions of a parent bank holding company or its non-financial institution subsidiaries represent an unsafe or unsound practice or violation of law. The Board of Governors has the authority to regulate debt obligations (other than commercial paper) issued by bank holding companies by imposing interest ceilings and reserve requirements on such debt obligations.   We are also a bank holding company within the meaning of Section 3700 of the California Financial Code. As such, we and our subsidiaries are subject to examination by the Department of Financial Institutions (“DFI”).   Further, we are required by the Board of Governors to maintain certain capital levels. See “Capital Standards.”   REGULATION OF THE BANK   Banks are extensively regulated under both federal and state law. The Bank, as a California state-chartered bank, is subject to primary supervision, regulation and periodic examination by the DFI and the FDIC. The Bank is not a member of the Federal Reserve System, but is nevertheless subject to certain regulations of the Board of Governors.   If, as a result of an examination of a bank, the FDIC should determine that the financial condition, capital resources, asset quality, earnings prospects, management, liquidity, or other aspects of the bank’s operations are unsatisfactory or that the bank or its management is violating or has violated any law or regulation, various remedies are available to the FDIC. Such remedies include the power to enjoin “unsafe or unsound” practices, to require affirmative action to correct any conditions resulting from any violation or practice, to issue an administrative order that can be judicially enforced, to direct an increase in capital, to restrict the growth of the bank, to assess civil monetary penalties, to remove officers and directors, and ultimately to terminate the bank’s deposit insurance, which for a California chartered bank would result in a revocation of the bank’s charter. The DFI has many of the same remedial powers.   The Bank is a member of the FDIC, which currently insures customer deposits in each member bank to a maximum of $100,000 per depositor. For this protection, the Bank is subject to the rules and regulations of the FDIC, and, as is the case with all insured banks, may be required to pay a semi-annual statutory assessment.   Various requirements and restrictions under the laws of the State of California and the United States affect the operations of the Bank. State and federal statutes and regulations relate to many aspects of the Bank’s operations, including standards for safety and soundness, reserves against deposits, interest rates payable on deposits, loans, investments, mergers and acquisitions, borrowings, dividends, locations of branch offices, fair lending requirements, Community Reinvestment Act activities, and loans to affiliates.   19        PAYMENT OF DIVIDENDS   THE COMPANY   Our shareholders are entitled to receive dividends when and as declared by our Board of Directors, out of funds legally available, subject to the dividends preference, if any, on preferred shares that may be outstanding, and also subject to the restrictions of the California Corporations Code. At December 31, 2005, we had no outstanding shares of preferred stock.   The principal source of cash revenue to the Company is dividends received from the Bank. The Bank’s ability to make dividend payments to the Company is subject to state and federal regulatory restrictions.   THE BANK   Dividends payable by the Bank to the Company are restricted under California law to the lesser of the Bank’s retained earnings, or the Bank’s net income for the latest three fiscal years, less dividends paid during that period, or, with the approval of the DFI, to the greater of the retained earnings of the Bank, the net income of the Bank for its last fiscal year or the net income of the Bank for its current fiscal year.   In addition to the regulations concerning minimum uniform capital adequacy requirements described below, the FDIC has established guidelines regarding the maintenance of an adequate allowance for credit losses. Therefore, the future payment of cash dividends by the Bank will generally depend, in addition to regulatory constraints, upon the Bank’s earnings during any fiscal period, the assessment of the Board of Directors of the capital requirements of the Bank and other factors, including the maintenance of an adequate allowance for credit  losses.   CAPITAL STANDARDS   The Board of Governors, the FDIC and other federal banking agencies have issued risk-based capital adequacy guidelines intended to provide a measure of capital adequacy that reflects the degree of risk associated with a banking organization’s operations for both transactions reported on the balance sheet as assets, and transactions, such as letters of credit and recourse arrangements, which are reported as off-balance-sheet items. Under these guidelines, nominal dollar amounts of assets and credit equivalent amounts of off-balance-sheet items are multiplied by one of several risk adjustment percentages, which range from 0% for assets with low credit risk, such as certain U.S. government securities, to 100% for assets with relatively higher credit risk, such as business loans.   A banking organization’s risk-based capital ratios are obtained by dividing its qualifying capital by its total risk-adjusted assets and off-balance-sheet items. The regulators measure risk-adjusted assets and off-balance-sheet items against both total qualifying capital (the sum of Tier 1 capital and limited amounts of Tier 2 capital) and Tier 1 capital. Tier 1 capital consists of common stock, retained earnings, noncumulative perpetual preferred stock and minority interests in certain subsidiaries, less most other intangible assets. Tier 2 capital may consist of a limited amount of the allowance for possible loan and lease losses and certain other instruments with some characteristics of equity. The inclusion of elements of Tier 2 capital is subject to certain other requirements and limitations of the federal banking agencies. Since December 31, 1992, the federal banking agencies have required a minimum ratio of qualifying total capital to risk-adjusted assets and off-balance-sheet items of 8%, and a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-adjusted assets and off-balance-sheet items of 4%.   In addition to the risk-based guidelines, federal banking regulators require banking organizations to maintain a minimum amount of Tier 1 capital to average total assets, referred to as the leverage ratio. For a banking organization rated in the highest of the five categories used by regulators to rate banking organizations, the minimum leverage ratio of Tier 1 capital to total assets is 3%. It is improbable, however, that an institution with a 3% leverage ratio would receive the highest rating by the regulators since a strong capital position is a significant part of the regulators’ rating. For all banking organizations not rated in the highest category, the minimum leverage ratio is at least 100 to 200 basis points above the 3% minimum. Thus, the effective minimum leverage ratio, for all practical purposes, is at least 4% or 5%. In addition to these uniform risk-based capital guidelines and leverage ratios that apply across the industry, the regulators have the discretion to set individual minimum capital requirements for specific institutions at rates significantly above the minimum guidelines and ratios.   A bank that does not achieve and maintain the required capital levels may be issued a capital directive by the FDIC   20        to ensure the maintenance of required capital levels. As discussed above, the Company and the Bank are required to maintain certain levels of capital. The regulatory capital guidelines as well as the actual capitalization for the Bank and the Company on a consolidated basis as of December 31, 2005 follow:              REQUIREMENT       ACTUAL                 ADEQUATELY   CAPITALIZED       FOR THE   BANK TO BE   WELL   CAPITALIZED       BANK       COMPANY                                                   Total   risk-based capital ratio       8.00   %   10.00   %   10.45   %   10.24   %     Tier 1   risk-based capital ratio       4.00   %   6.00   %   9.48   %   9.26   %     Tier 1   leverage capital ratio       4.00   %   5.00   %   7.00   %   6.84   %      USA PATRIOT ACT   In the wake of the tragic events of September 11th, on October 26, 2001, the President signed the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism (USA PATRIOT) Act of 2001.  The USA PATRIOT Act also made significant changes to the Bank Secrecy Act.  Under the USA PATRIOT Act, financial institutions are subject to prohibitions against specified financial transactions and account relationships as well as enhanced due diligence and of identifying customers when establishing new relationships and standards in their dealings with foreign financial institutions and foreign customers. For example, the enhanced due diligence policies, procedures, and controls generally require financial institutions to take reasonable steps:   • To conduct enhanced scrutiny of account relationships to guard against money laundering and report any suspicious transaction;   • To ascertain the identity of the nominal and beneficial owners of, and the source of funds deposited into, each account as needed to guard against money laundering and report any suspicious transactions;   • To ascertain for any foreign bank, the shares of which are not publicly traded, the identity of the owners of the foreign bank, and the nature and extent of the ownership interest of each such owner; and   • To ascertain whether any foreign bank provides correspondent accounts to other foreign banks and, if so, the identity of those foreign banks and related due diligence information.   Under the USA PATRIOT Act, financial institutions are to establish anti-money laundering programs to enhance their Bank Secrecy Act program.  The USA PATRIOT Act sets forth minimum standards for these programs, including:   • The development of internal policies, procedures, and controls;   • The designation of a compliance officer;   • An ongoing employee training program; and   • An independent audit function to test the programs.   Bank management believes that the Bank is currently in compliance with the Act.   FINANCIAL SERVICES MODERNIZATION LEGISLATION   On November 12, 1999, President Clinton signed into law the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, also known as the   21        Financial Services Modernization Act. This legislation eliminated many of the barriers that have separated the insurance, securities and banking industries since the Great Depression. The federal banking agencies (the Board of Governors, FDIC and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency) among others, continue to draft regulations to implement the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act.  The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act is the result of a decade of debate in the Congress regarding a fundamental reformation of the nation’s financial system. The law is subdivided into seven titles, by functional area.   The major provisions of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act are:   FINANCIAL HOLDING COMPANIES AND FINANCIAL ACTIVITIES. Title I establishes a comprehensive framework to permit affiliations among commercial banks, insurance companies, securities firms, and other financial service providers by revising and expanding the BHC Act framework to permit a holding company system to engage in a full range of financial activities through qualification as a new entity known as a financial holding company.   Final regulations adopted by the FDIC in January 2001, in the form of amendments to Part 362 of the FDIC rules and regulations, provide the framework for subsidiaries of state nonmember banks to engage in financial activities that the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act permits national banks to conduct through a financial subsidiary.   Activities permissible for financial subsidiaries of national banks, and, pursuant to Section 362 of the FDIC rules and regulations, also permissible for financial subsidiaries of state nonmember banks, include, but are not limited to, the following:  (a) Lending, exchanging, transferring, investing for others, or safeguarding money or securities; (b) Insuring, guaranteeing, or indemnifying against loss, harm, damage, illness, disability, or death, or providing and issuing annuities, and acting as principal, agent, or broker for purposes of the foregoing, in any State; (c) Providing financial, investment, or economic advisory services, including advising an investment company; (d) Issuing or selling instruments representing interests in pools of assets permissible for a bank to hold directly; and (e) Underwriting, dealing in, or making a market in securities.   SECURITIES ACTIVITIES. Title II narrows the exemptions from the securities laws previously enjoyed by banks and creates a new, voluntary investment bank holding company.  The Board of Governors and the SEC continue to work together to draft rules governing certain securities activities of banks.   INSURANCE ACTIVITIES. Title III restates the proposition that the states are the functional regulators for all insurance activities, including the insurance activities of federally-chartered banks, and bars the states from prohibiting insurance activities by depository institutions.   PRIVACY. Under Title V, federal banking regulators were required to adopt rules that have limited the ability of banks and other financial institutions to disclose non-public information about consumers to nonaffiliated third parties. These limitations require disclosure of privacy policies to consumers and, in some circumstances, allow consumers to prevent disclosure of certain personal information to a nonaffiliated third party. Federal banking regulators issued final rules on May 10, 2000 to implement the privacy provisions of Title V. Under the rules, financial institutions must provide:   • initial notices to customers about their privacy policies, describing the conditions under which they may disclose nonpublic personal information to nonaffiliated third parties and affiliates;   • annual notices of their privacy policies to current customers; and   • a reasonable method for customers to “opt out” of disclosures to nonaffiliated third parties.   Compliance with these rules was mandatory after July 1, 2001.  The Company and the Bank were in full compliance with the rules as of or prior to their respective effective dates.   SAFEGUARDING CONFIDENTIAL CUSTOMER INFORMATION.  Under Title V, federal banking regulators are required to adopt rules requiring financial institutions to implement a program to protect confidential customer information. In January 2000, the federal banking agencies adopted guidelines requiring financial institutions to establish an information security program.   The Bank implemented a security program appropriate to its size and complexity and the nature and scope of its operations prior to the July 1, 2001 effective date of the regulatory guidelines, and since initial implementation has, as necessary, updated and improved that program.   22        COMMUNITY REINVESTMENT ACT SUNSHINE REQUIREMENTS. The federal banking agencies have adopted final regulations implementing  Section 711 of Title VII of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act , the  Sunshine Requirements. The regulations require nongovernmental entities or persons and insured depository institutions and affiliates that are parties to written agreements made in connection with the fulfillment of the institution’s CRA obligations to make available to the public and the federal banking agencies a copy of each agreement.  Neither the Company nor the Bank is a party to any agreement that would be the subject of reporting pursuant to the CRA Sunshine Requirements.   The Company continues to evaluate the strategic opportunities presented by the broad powers granted to bank holding companies that elect to be treated as financial holding companies. In the event that the Company determines that access to the broader powers of a financial holding company is in the best interests of the Company, its shareholders and the Bank, the Company will file the appropriate election with the Board of Governors.   The Company and the Bank intend to comply with all provisions of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act and all implementing regulations as they become effective.   CONSUMER PROTECTION LAWS AND REGULATIONS   The bank regulatory agencies are focusing greater attention on compliance with consumer protection laws and their implementing regulations. Examination and enforcement have become more intense in nature, and insured institutions have been advised to monitor carefully compliance with such laws and regulations. The Bank is subject to many federal consumer protection statutes and regulations, some of which are discussed below.   The Community Reinvestment Act (“CRA”) is intended to encourage insured depository institutions, while operating safely and soundly, to help meet the credit needs of their communities. The CRA specifically directs the federal regulatory agencies, in examining insured depository institutions, to assess a bank’s record of helping meet the credit needs of its entire community, including low- and moderate-income neighborhoods, consistent with safe and sound banking practices. The CRA further requires the agencies to take a financial institution’s record of meeting its community credit needs into account when evaluating applications for, among other things, domestic branches, mergers or acquisitions, or holding company formations. The agencies use the CRA assessment factors in order to provide a rating to the financial institution. The ratings range from a high of “outstanding” to a low of “substantial noncompliance.”  The Bank was last examined for CRA compliance by its primary regulator, the FDIC, as of  March 2001.   The Equal Credit Opportunity Act (“ECOA”) generally prohibits discrimination in any credit transaction, whether for consumer or business purposes, on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, marital status, age (except in limited circumstances), receipt of income from public assistance programs, or good faith exercise of any rights under the Consumer Credit Protection Act.   The Truth in Lending Act (“TILA”) is designed to ensure that credit terms are disclosed in a meaningful way so that consumers may compare credit terms more readily and knowledgeably. As a result of the TILA, all creditors must use the same credit terminology to express rates and payments, including the annual percentage rate, the finance charge, the amount financed, the total of payments and the payment schedule, among other things.   The Fair Housing Act (“FH Act”) regulates many practices, including making it unlawful for any lender to discriminate in its housing-related lending activities against any person because of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, handicap or familial status. A number of lending practices have been found by the courts to be, or may be considered, illegal under the FH Act, including some that are not specifically mentioned in the FH Act itself.   The Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (“HMDA”) grew out of public concern over credit shortages in certain urban neighborhoods and provides public information that will help show whether financial institutions are serving the housing credit needs of the neighborhoods and communities in which they are located. The HMDA also includes a “fair lending” aspect that requires the collection and disclosure of data about applicant and borrower characteristics as a way of identifying possible discriminatory lending patterns and enforcing anti-discrimination statutes.   Finally, the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (“RESPA”) requires lenders to provide borrowers with disclosures regarding the nature and cost of real estate settlements. Also, RESPA prohibits certain abusive practices, such as kickbacks, and places limitations on the amount of escrow accounts. Penalties under the above laws may include fines, reimbursements and other penalties.   23        Due to heightened regulatory concern related to compliance with the CRA, TILA, FH Act, ECOA, HMDA and RESPA generally, the Bank may incur additional compliance costs or be required to expend additional funds for investments in its local community.   CALIFORNIA FINANCIAL INFORMATION PRIVACY ACT/FAIR CREDIT REPORTING ACT   In 1970, the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act (the “FCRA”) was enacted to insure the confidentiality, accuracy, relevancy and proper utilization of consumer credit report information. Under the framework of the FCRA, the United States has developed a highly advanced and efficient credit reporting system. The information contained in that broad system is used by financial institutions, retailers and other creditors of every size in making a wide variety of decisions regarding financial transactions. Employers and law enforcement agencies have also made wide use of the information collected and maintained in databases made possible by the FCRA. The FCRA affirmatively preempts state law in a number of areas, including the ability of entities affiliated by common ownership to share and exchange information freely, and the requirements on credit bureaus to reinvestigate the contents of reports in response to consumer complaints, among others.   The California Financial Information Privacy Act, which was enacted in 2003, requires a financial institution to provide specific information to a consumer related to the sharing of that consumer’s nonpublic personal information. The Act allows a consumer to direct the financial institution not to share his or her nonpublic personal information with affiliated or nonaffiliated companies with which a financial institution has contracted to provide financial products and services, and requires that permission from each such consumer be acquired by a financial institution prior to sharing such information.   The FACT Act, (Fair and Accurate Credit Transaction Act) became law in 2003, effectively extending and amending provisions of the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). The FACT Act created many new responsibilities for consumer reporting agencies and users of consumer reports. It contains many new consumer disclosre requirements as well as provisions to address identity theft. .   CHECK 21 ACT   On December 22, 2003, the Board of Governors  amended Regulation CC and its commentary to implement the Check Clearing for the 21st Century Act (Check 21 Act). The Check 21 Act became effective on October 28, 2004.   To facilitate check truncation and electronic check exchange, the Check 21 Act authorizes a new negotiable instrument called a “substitute check” and provides that a properly prepared substitute check is the legal equivalent of the original check for all purposes. A substitute check is a paper reproduction of the original check that can be processed just like the original check. The Check 21 Act does not require any bank to create substitute checks or to accept checks electronically. The amendments: 1) set forth the requirements of the Check 21 Act that apply to banks; 2) provide a model disclosure and model notices relating to substitute checks; and 3) set forth bank endorsement and identification requirements for substitute checks.   The Bank has been imaging its customers’ checks since 2000. Check 21 Act has had  limited impact on the Bank.   Recent Accounting Pronouncements   Other-Than-Temporary Impairment   In March 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) and Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) reached consensus on several issues being addressed in EITF Issue No. 03-1, The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments. The consensus provides guidance for evaluating whether an investment is other-than-temporarily impaired and was effective for other-than-temporary impairment evaluations made in reporting periods beginning after June 15, 2004. The disclosure provisions of EITF Issue No. 03-1 continue to be effective for the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2005.   On November 3, 2005, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) Nos. FAS 115-1 and FAS 124-1, The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments. This FSP addresses the determination as to when an investment is considered impaired, whether that impairment is other than temporary, and the measurement of an    24        impairment loss. This FSP also includes accounting considerations subsequent to the recognition of an other-than-temporary impairment and requires certain disclosures about unrealized losses that have not been recognized as other-than-temporary impairments. This FSP nullifies certain requirements of EITF Issue No. 03-1, and supersedes EITF Topic No. D-44, Recognition of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment upon the Planned Sale of a Security Whose Cost Exceeds Fair Value. The guidance in this FSP amends FASB Statement No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities. The FSP is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2005. The Company does not anticipate any material impact to its financial condition or results of operations as a result of the adoption of this guidance.   Share-Based Payments   In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement No. 123 (revised 2004) (FAS 123 (R)), Share-Based Payments. FAS 123 (R) requires all entities to recognize compensation expense in an amount equal to the fair value of share-based payments such as stock options granted to employees. The Company may elect to adopt FAS 123 (R) using a modified prospective method or modified retrospective method. Under the modified retrospective method, the Company would restate previously issued financial statements, basing the compensation expense on that previously reported in their pro forma disclosures required by FAS 123. The modified prospective method would require the Company to record compensation expense for the unvested portion of previously granted awards that remain outstanding at the date of adoption as these awards continue to vest. FAS 123 (R) is effective for the first fiscal year beginning after June 15, 2005. Management has elected to use the modified prospective method and has completed its evaluation of the effect of FAS 123 (R), and does not expect it to have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.   Accounting Changes and Error Corrections   On June 7, 2005, the FASB issued Statement No. 154 (FAS 154), Accounting Changes and Error Corrections - a replacement of Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 20, Accounting Changes, and SFAS No. 3, Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements. Under the provisions of FAS 154, voluntary changes in accounting principles are applied retrospectively to prior periods’ financial statements unless it would be impractical to do so. FAS 154 supersedes APB Opinion No. 20, which required that most voluntary changes in accounting principles be recognized by including in the current period’s net income the cumulative effect of the change. FAS 154 also makes a distinction between “retrospective application” of a change in accounting principle and the “restatement” of financial statements to reflect the correction of an error. The provisions of FAS 154 are effective for accounting changes made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. Management of the Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.   Other   Other legislation which has been or may be proposed to the United States Congress and the California Legislature and regulations which may be proposed by the Board of Governors, FDIC and the DFI may affect our business. It cannot be predicted whether any pending or proposed legislation or regulations will be adopted or the effect such legislation or regulations may have upon our business.   ITEM 1A -             RISK FACTORS   Risks, Uncertainties and Other Factors That May Affect Our Future Results   Our profitability depends significantly on economic conditions.   Our success depends primarily on the general economic conditions of the Central Valley and California. Unlike larger banks that are more geographically diversified, we provide banking and financial services to customers primarily in the market areas in which we operate. The local economic conditions of these areas have a significant impact on our commercial, real estate and construction loans, the ability of the borrowers to repay these loans and the value of the collateral securing these loans. A significant decline in general economic conditions, such as inflation, recession, acts of terrorism, an outbreak of hostilities, unemployment and other factors beyond our control will impact these local economic conditions and will negatively affect the financial results of our banking operations. In addition, the Central Valley remains largely dependent on agriculture. A downturn in agriculture and agricultural related business could indirectly and adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.   25        We rely on the small to medium sized business market.   Our business development and marketing strategy primarily targets the banking and financial needs of small to medium sized  businesses with non-complex credit needs. These businesses are diverse and not dependent upon one industry and represent a major sector of the Central Valley economies. If general economic conditions negatively impact this economic sector in the Central Valley in which we operate, our results of operations and financial condition will be significantly affected.   If our allowance for credit losses is not sufficient to cover actual loan losses, our earnings could decrease.   Our loan customers may not repay their loans according to the terms of these loans, and the collateral securing the payment of these loans may be insufficient to assure repayment. We may experience significant credit losses that could have a material adverse effect on our operating results. We make various assumptions and judgments about the collectibility of our loan portfolio, including the creditworthiness of our borrowers and the value of the real estate and other assets serving as collateral for the repayment of many of our loans. In determining the size of the allowance, we rely on our experience and our evaluation of economic conditions. If our assumptions prove to be incorrect, our current allowance may not be sufficient to cover future loan losses and adjustments may be necessary to allow for different economic conditions or adverse developments in our loan portfolio. Significant additions to our allowance would materially decrease our net income.   In addition, federal and state regulators periodically review our allowance for credit losses and may require us to increase our provision for credit losses or recognize further loan charge-offs, based on judgments different than those we make. Any increase in our allowance or charge-offs as required by these regulatory agencies could have a negative affect on us.   Fluctuations in interest rates could reduce our profitability.   We realize income primarily from the difference between interest earned on loans and securities and the interest paid on deposits and borrowings. We expect that we will periodically experience “gaps” in the interest rate sensitivities of our assets and liabilities, meaning that either our interest-bearing liabilities will be more sensitive to changes in market interest rates than our interest-earning assets, or vice versa. In either event, if market interest rates should move contrary to our position, this “gap” will work against us, and our earnings may be negatively affected.   We are unable to predict fluctuations of market interest rates, which are affected by the following factors:   •      inflation;   •      recession;   •      a rise in unemployment;   •      tightening money supply;   •      international disorder; and   •      instability in domestic and foreign financial markets.   Our asset/liability management strategy, which is designed to address the risk from changes in market interest rates and the shape of the yield curve, may not prevent changes in interest rates from having a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.   Competition with other financial institutions could adversely affect our profitability.   We face vigorous competition from banks and other financial institutions, including savings institutions, finance companies and credit unions. A number of these banks and other financial institutions have substantially greater resources and lending limits, larger branch systems and a wider array of banking services. To a limited extent, we also compete with other providers of financial services, such as money market mutual funds, brokerage firms, consumer finance companies and insurance companies. This competition may reduce or limit our margins on banking services, reduce our market share and adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. Additionally, we face competition primarily from other banks in attracting, developing and retaining qualified banking professionals.   We may not be able to maintain our historical growth rate which may adversely impact our results of operations and financial condition.   We have initiated internal growth programs, completed various acquisitions and opened additional offices in the past few years. We may not be able to sustain our historical rate of growth or may not even be able to grow at all. We may not be able    26        to obtain the financing necessary to fund additional growth and may not be able to find suitable candidates for acquisition. Various factors, such as economic conditions and competition, may impede or prohibit the opening of new branch offices. Further, our inability to attract and retain experienced bankers may adversely affect our internal growth. A significant decrease in our historical rate of growth may adversely impact our results of operations and financial condition.   We may be unable to complete acquisitions, and once complete, may not be able to integrate our acquisitions successfully.   Our growth strategy includes our desire to acquire other financial institutions. We may not be able to complete any future acquisitions and, if completed, we may not be able to successfully integrate the operations, management, products and services of the entities we acquire. We may not realize expected cost savings or make revenue enhancements. Following each acquisition, we must expend substantial managerial, operating, financial and other resources to integrate these entities. In particular, we may be required to install and standardize adequate operational and control systems, deploy or modify equipment, implement marketing efforts in new as well as existing locations and employ and maintain qualified personnel. Our failure to successfully integrate the entities we acquire into our existing operations may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.   We operate in a highly regulated environment and may be adversely affected by changes in federal and local laws and regulations.   We are subject to extensive regulation, supervision and examination by federal and state banking authorities. Any change in applicable regulations or federal or state legislation could have a substantial impact on us and our operations. Additional legislation and regulations may be enacted or adopted in the future that could significantly affect our powers, authority and operations, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Further, regulators have significant discretion and power to prevent or remedy unsafe or unsound practices or violations of laws by banks and bank holding companies in the performance of their supervisory and enforcement duties. The exercise of this regulatory discretion and power may have a negative impact on us.   ITEM 2 -                DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY.   The following chart sets out the properties owned and leased by us. Properties owned by the Bank are held without loans or encumbrances. All of the property described as leased is leased directly from independent parties. Management considers the terms and conditions of each of the existing leases to be in the aggregate favorable to the Company.

Neither the Company nor the Bank is a party to, nor are any of their properties the subject of, any material pending legal proceedings other than ordinary, routine litigation incidental to the Company’s and the Bank’s businesses, nor are any of such proceedings known to be contemplated by government authority.   None of our directors, officers, affiliates, more than 5% shareholder or any associates of these persons is a party adverse to the Company or the Bank or has a material interest adverse to the Company or the Bank in any material legal proceeding.   ITEM 4 -                SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS.   No matters were submitted to our shareholders during the fourth quarter of the year ended December 31, 2005.   PART II   ITEM 5 -                MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS.   Our common stock is listed for trading on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market under the ticket symbol CVCY. As of February 28, 2006, we had approximately 390 shareholders of record.   The following table shows the high and low bid prices for the common stock for each quarter as reported by NASDAQ. The prices have been adjusted to reflect a two-for-one stock split on October 31, 2005.   28                   Common Stock Prices                 Qtr 1       Qtr 2       Qtr 3       Qtr 4       Qtr 1       Qtr 2       Qtr 3       Qtr 4                 2005       2005       2005       2005       2004       2004       2004       2004         High       $   13.12       $   16.36       $   14.98       $   16.00       $   13.50       $   12.50       $   15.00       $   13.43         Low       $   11.25       $   11.06       $   11.00       $   13.95       $   10.25       $   11.50       $   11.00       $   11.38          On October 31, 2005, we affected a two-for-one stock split. We paid $0.05 per share cash dividends in 2004 and 2003. As a result of the borrowing from a major bank, during the time the borrowing remains outstanding, which is expected to be until approximately 2007, we do not anticipate paying dividends to our shareholders. The Bank does not anticipate paying any dividends to the Company except for dividends that are necessary to meet the ordinary and usual operating expenses of the Company provided that the Bank would not pay any dividend that would cause it to be deemed not “well capitalized” under applicable banking laws and regulations.

INTRODUCTION:   Central Valley Community Bancorp (NASDAQ: CVCY) (the “Company”) was incorporated on February 7, 2000. The formation of the holding company offered the Company more flexibility in meeting the long-term needs of customers, shareholders, and the communities it serves. The Company currently has one bank subsidiary. The Company’s market area includes the central valley area from Sacramento, California to Bakersfield, California. To garner public acceptance beyond the Clovis-Fresno area, the Company made a decision in the first half of 2002 to change the name of its one subsidiary, Clovis Community Bank, to Central Valley Community Bank (the “Bank”).   During 2005, the Company focused on assuring competitive products and services to our clients were made available while adjusting to the many new laws and regulations that affect the banking industry. The Bank opened a full service retail office in the Fresno downtown area on February 13, 2006.   After the close of business on December 31, 2004, the Company completed the merger with Bank of Madera County (BMC). The Madera and Oakhurst branches of BMC were merged into the Bank bringing the total number of branches to nine. For details of the merger, refer to Note 2 to the Company’s audited Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of the Annual Report.   ECONOMIC CONDITIONS   Fresno County’s economy has been relatively stable for the past three to four years; however, some minor evidence of a slow down has been evident in the fourth quarter of 2005. Most industries in the County are    31        either stable or contracting very modestly. Fresno County’s double-digit unemployment is one of the highest rates in California and the nation; however in the fourth quarter of 2005, the County reported single digit unemployment for  the first time in many years. This high level is a hindrance to strong growth in the County. Agriculture and agricultural related businesses remain a critical part of the County’s economy. The County’s agricultural production is widely diversified producing cotton, nuts, vegetables, fruit, cattle, and dairy products. Due to low land costs, relative to the rest of the state, Fresno’s economy has been significantly affected by the real estate construction segment in the past 5 years. Several new and planned developments in the foothill area of the County may assist the industry in maintaining its growth. However, there are indications of a slowing in the housing market; residential permits have been declining in 2005.   Fresno County also offers lower living costs compared with metropolitan areas to the North and South of the County. Fresno County’s home appreciation has averaged 20% annually over the past four years. While affordability has declined as a result, the area is still considered more affordable than other places in California. Residential construction, while slowing somewhat, still appears to be strong. The local economy benefited from growth in housing and construction fueled by record low long-term interest rates, demand for new housing and refinance activity   STOCK SPLIT   On September 21, 2005 the Company’s Board of Directors approved a two-for-one stock split for shareholders of record at the close of business on October 5, 2005 and effective on October 31, 2005. All share and per share data in the consolidated financial statements and the following management’s discussion and analysis have been retroactively restated to give effect to the stock split.   OVERVIEW   We are extremely pleased to report that both our 2005 operations and the completed merger, which included the data system conversion of Bank of Madera County (BMC), were accretive to our diluted earnings per share (EPS). Diluted EPS for the year ended December 31, 2005 was $0.94 compared to $0.64 and $0.60 for years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003. The increase in EPS from 2004 to 2005 was generated even after the 8% dilutive impact of the additional 522,106 shares of common stock issued as a result of the BMC merger. Net income for 2005 was $6,044,000 compared to $3,695,000 and $3,372,000 for the same period in 2004 and 2003, respectively. In 2005, the $6,044,000 in earnings included a gain of $92,000 from the sale of securities compared to $483,000 and $506,000 in 2004 and 2003, respectively. Additionally, we increased the provision for credit loss to $510,000 in 2005 compared to none in 2004 and 2003. Further discussion of operations and the effects of the merger are discussed below   Return on average equity for 2005 was 15.63% compared to 13.10% and 13.23% for the same periods of 2004 and 2003, respectively. Goodwill and core deposit intangible, resulting from the BMC merger, at December 31, 2005 was $8,955,000 and $1,286,000, respectively. The Company did not have any goodwill or intangibles at December 31, 2004. Total equity was $41,523,000 at December 31, 2005 compared to $29,606,000 at December 31, 2004.   Total loans continued to grow at a double digit pace in 2005. Average total loans increased $82,632,000 or 42.3% in 2005 compared to 2004 of which $45,779,000 can be attributed to the BMC merger. Asset quality continues to be strong. However in 2005, we recorded a provision for credit losses for the first time in three years. The Company had two (2) non-accrual loans at December 31, 2005 totaling $616,000 compared to none at December 31, 2004. In December 2005, we charged off two loans totaling $688,000. Net charge-offs for 2005 were $619,000 compared to net recoveries of $272,000 in 2004 and net charge-offs of $8,000 in 2003; refer to “Asset Quality” below for further information. We had no other real estate owned at December 31, 2005 and 2004.   Key Factors in Evaluating Financial Condition and Operating Performance   As a publicly traded community bank holding company, we focus on several key factors including:   32        •      Return to our stockholders; •      Return on average assets; •      Development of core revenue streams, including net interest income and non-interest income; •      Asset quality; •      Asset growth; and •      Operating efficiency.   Return to Our Stockholders.   Our return to our stockholders is measured in the form of return on average equity (“ROE”). Our net income for December 31, 2005 increased  $2,349,000 compared to increases of $323,000 and $588,000 for 2004 and 2003, respectively. Net income increased mainly due to an increase in net interest income provided by the increase in interest rates and the additional loan volume from the BMC merger and our own organic growth. This increase was partially offset by an increase in interest expenses, addition to the provision for credit losses, operating expenses and a decrease in non-interest income. Basic EPS increased to $1.03 for the year ended 2005 compared to $0.71 and $0.65 for years ended 2004 and 2003, respectively. Diluted EPS increased to $0.94 for the year ended 2005 compared to $0.64 and $0.60 for years ended 2004 and 2003, respectively. The increase in EPS was due primarily to the increase in net income, partially offset by the increase in average shares outstanding as a result of the merger and the exercise of stock options. Our ROE was 15.63% for the year ended 2005 compared to 13.10% and 13.23% for the years ended 2004 and 2003, respectively. The increase in ROE is due to the increase in income partially offset by the increase in average equity outstanding, as a result of the BMC merger.   Return on Average Assets   Our return on average assets (“ROA”) is a measure we use to compare our performance with other banks and bank holding companies. Our ROA for the year ended 2005 increased to 1.33% compared to 1.07% and 1.10% for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003. The 2005 increase in ROA is due to the increase in net income relative to our increase in average assets. ROA for our peer group was 1.47% at September 30, 2005. Peer group from SNL Financial data includes all holding companies in California with assets from $300M to $500M and not subchapter S.   Development of Core Earnings   Over the past several years, we have focused on not only improving net income, but improving the consistency of our revenue streams in order to create more predictable future earnings and reduce the effect of changes in our operating environment on our net income. Specifically, we have focused on net interest income through a variety of processes, including increases in average interest earning assets as a result of the merger, loan generation and retention and improved net interest margin by focusing on core deposit growth and managing the cost of funds. As a result, our net interest income before provision for credit losses increased $7,110,000 or 48.0% to $21,931,000 for the year ended 2005 compared to $14,821,000 and $12,680,000 for the years ended 2004 and 2003, respectively. Our net interest margin has also improved 55 basis points to 5.46% for the year ended 2005 compared to 4.91% and 4.75% for the years ended 2004 and 2003, respectively.   Our non-interest income is generally made up of service charges and fees on deposit accounts and fee income from loan placements and gain on sale from investment securities. Non-interest income in 2005 decreased $177,000 or 4.5% to $3,760,000 compared to $3,937,000 and $4,546,000 in 2004 and 2003, respectively. Non-interest income in 2005 included gains from the sale of investments of $92,000 compared to $483,000 in 2004 and $506,000 in 2003. Additionally, in 2004 and 2003, the Company recorded income from equipment leased to others for which it recognized income of $38,000 and $485,000, respectively. The Company exited that activity in 2004. Customer service charges increased slightly to $2,414,000 in 2005 compared to $2,340,000 and $2,215,000 in 2004 and 2003, respectively, mainly due to an increase in the number of transaction accounts. Further detail on non-interest income is provided below.   Asset Quality   For all banks and bank holding companies, asset quality has a significant impact on the overall financial condition and results of operations. Asset quality is measured in terms of percentage of total loans and total    33        assets, and is a key element in estimating the future earnings of a company. Non-performing loans totaled $616,000 as of December 31, 2005 compared to none as of December 31, 2004 and $634,000 as of December 31, 2003. Two (2) loans comprised the $616,000 in non-performing loans, and as of December 31, 2005, both loans were on nonaccrual. Management maintains certain loans that have been brought current by the borrower (less than 30 days delinquent) on non-accrual status until such time as management has determined that the loans are likely to remain current in future periods. In December 2005, we charged off two (2) commercial loans in which the company had suffered a fire in one of their facilities. The event had a material impact on the operations of the company, which has subsequently filed for Chapter 7 protection. Recovery potential on these two loans is uncertain. As a result of the charge-off, we also increased our provision for credit losses to $510,000 for 2005 compared to no provision in 2004 and 2003. Non-performing loans as a percentage of gross loans were 0.2% as of December 31, 2005 compared to none at December 31, 2004 and 0.3% at December 31, 2003. The Company did not have any other real estate owned at December 31, 2005, 2004 or 2003.   Asset Growth   As revenues from both net interest income and non-interest income are a function of asset size, the continued growth in assets has a direct impact in increasing net income and therefore ROE and ROA. The majority of our assets are loans and investment securities, and the majority of our liabilities are deposits, and therefore the ability to generate deposits as a funding source for loans and investments is fundamental to our asset growth. Total assets increased 31.4% during 2005 to $483,677,000 as of December 31, 2005 from $368,147,000 as of December 31, 2004. Total gross loans increased 44.2% to $301,802,000 as of December 31, 2005, compared to $209,279,000 at December 31, 2004. Total investment securities increased 6.7% to $105,592,000 as of December 31, 2005 compared to $98,983,000 as of December 31, 2004 as deposit growth exceeded loan growth. Total deposits increased 32.1% to $430,989,000 as of December 31, 2005 compared to $326,186,000 as of December 31, 2004. We continue to under perform in our loan to deposit ratio compared to our peers. Our loan to deposit ratio at December 31, 2005 was 70.0% compared to 64.2% at December 31, 2004. The loan to deposit ratio of our peers was 89.6% at September 30, 2005.   Operating Efficiency   Operating efficiency is the measure of how efficiently earnings before taxes are generated as a percentage of revenue. The Bank’s efficiency ratio (non-interest expenses divided by net interest income plus non-interest income, excluding realized gain on sale of securities) improved to 58.7% for 2005 compared to 69.2% for 2004 and 72.6% at 2003. The improvement in the efficiency ratio is due to the increase in revenues exceeding the increase in operating expenses. The Bank’s net interest income before provision for credit losses plus non-interest income increased 40.9% to $25,753,000 in 2005 compared to $18,273,000 in 2004 and $16,678,000 in 2003, while operating expenses increased 19.5% in 2005 and 4.6% in 2004 and 3.7% in 2003. The increase in operating expenses in 2005 can be partially attributed to the merger.   RESULTS OF OPERATIONS   Net Income:   Net income increased to $6,044,000 in 2005 compared to $3,695,000 and $3,372,000 in 2004 and 2003, respectively. Basic earnings per share were $1.03, $0.71 and $0.65 for 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Diluted earnings per share were $0.94, $0.64 and $0.60 for 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. ROE was 15.63% for 2005 compared to 13.10% for 2004, and 13.23% for 2003. ROA for 2005 was 1.33% compared to 1.07% and 1.10% for 2004 and 2003, respectively.   The increase in net income and profitability for 2005 compared to the same period in 2004 was mainly due to the increases in net interest income and was partially offset by decreases in non-interest income and increases in the provision for credit losses and non-interest expenses. Net interest income increased due to an increase in average interest earning assets provided by our organic growth, the merger, and the positive effect of our asset sensitive position expanding our net interest margin in response to the thirteen increases in the Federal funds interest rate since June 30, 2004. Non-interest income in 2005 included a realized gain from the sale of investments of $92,000 compared to the gain from the sale of investments of $483,000 in 2004 and $506,000 in 2003. Non-interest expenses increased primarily due to salaries and benefits and equipment and occupancy expenses that were all affected by the BMC merger.   34        Interest Income and Expense    Net interest income is the most significant component of our income from operations. Net interest income (the “interest rate spread”) is the difference between the gross interest and fees earned on the loan and investment portfolios and the interest paid on deposits and other borrowings. Net interest income depends on the volume of and interest rate earned on interest earning assets and the volume of and interest rate paid on interest bearing liabilities.   The following table sets forth a summary of average balances with corresponding interest income and interest expense as well as average yield and cost information for the periods presented. Average balances are derived from daily balances, and non-accrual loans are not included as interest earning assets for purposes of this table.   35        CENTRAL VALLEY COMMUNITY BANCORP SCHEDULE OF AVERAGE BALANCES AND AVERAGE YIELDS AND RATES              FOR THE TWELVE MONTHS   ENDED   DECEMBER 31, 2005       FOR THE TWELVE MONTHS   ENDED   DECEMBER 31, 2004         (Unaudited)   (Dollars in thousands)       Average   Balance       Interest       Yield/Rate       Average   Balance       Interest       Yield/Rate         ASSETS                                                         Interest-bearing deposits in other banks       $   2,136       $   59       2.76   %   $   2,192       $   37       1.69   %     Securities                                                         Taxable securities       86,857       3,002       3.46   %   77,734       2,462       3.17   %     Non-taxable securities (1)       25,096       1,806       7.20   %   18,833       1,271       6.75   %     Total investment securities       111,953       4,808       4.29   %   96,567       3,733       3.87   %     Federal funds sold       21,590       702       3.25   %   16,310       234       1.43   %     Total       135,679       5,569       4.10   %   115,069       4,004       3.48   %     Loans (2) (3)       276,957       21,115       7.63   %   195,187       13,227       6.78   %     Federal Home Loan Bank stock       1,621       68       4.19   %   1,200       41       3.42   %     Total interest-earning assets       414,257       $   26,752       6.46   %   311,456       $   17,272       5.55   %     Allowance for credit losses       (3,507   )                   (2,565   )                     Non-accrual loans       898                       36                         Cash and due from banks       19,365                       23,567                         Bank premises and equipment       3,004                       2,863                         Other non-earning assets       21,663                       10,860                         Total average assets       $   455,680                       $   346,217                         LIABILITIES AND SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY                                                         Interest-bearing liabilities:                                                         Savings and NOW accounts       $   83,781       $   149       0.18   %   $   67,099       $   118       0.18   %     Money market accounts       111,519       1,500       1.35   %   84,178       660       0.78   %     Time certificates of deposit, under $100,000       50,841       1,017       2.00   %   37,082       550       1.48   %     Time certificates of deposit, $100,000 and over       36,872       1,220       3.31   %   21,884       465       2.12   %     Total interest-bearing deposits       283,013       3,886       1.37   %   210,243       1,793       0.85   %     Other borrowed funds       6,725       253       3.76   %   7,311       185       2.53   %     Federal funds purchased       —       —       —       2       —       —         Total interest-bearing liabilities       289,738       $   4,139       1.43   %   217,556       $   1,978       0.91   %     Non-interest bearing demand deposits       124,175                       97,210                         Other liabilities       3,076                       3,248                         Shareholders’ equity       38,691                       28,203                         Total average liabilities and shareholders’ equity       $   455,680                       $   346,217                                                                                   Interest income and rate earned on average earning assets               $   26,752       6.46   %           $   17,272       5.55   %     Interest expense and interest cost related to average interest-bearing   liabilities               4,139       1.43   %           1,978       0.91   %                                                               Net interest income and net interest margin (4)               $   22,613       5.46   %           $   15,294       4.91   %       (1)  Calculated on a fully tax equivalent basis, which includes Federal tax benefits relating to income earned on municipal bonds totaling $614 and $432 in 2005 and 2004, respectively. (2)  Loan interest income includes loan fees of $961 in 2005 and $808 in 2004. (3)  Average loans do not include non-accrual loans. (4)  Net interest margin is computed by dividing net interest income by total average interest-earning assets.   36        Interest and fee income from loans increased 59.6% in 2005 compared to the same period of 2004. Interest and fee income increased 9.9% from 2003 to 2004. As stated above, the combination of the increased volume of loans from the merger with BMC, our organic growth from the focus on building relationships, and the thirteen interest rate increases that have occurred since June 30, 2004, were the major components of the $7,888,000 increase. Average total loans for 2005 were $277,855,000 compared to $195,223,000 and $174,708,000 for the same periods of 2004 and 2003. The yield on loans for 2005 was 7.63% compared to 6.78% and 6.92% for the same periods of 2004 and 2003, respectively.   Interest income from total investments, (total investments include investment securities, Federal funds, interest bearing deposits with other banks, and other securities) not on a fully tax equivalent basis, increased $1,383,000 in 2005 compared to 2004, mainly due to the 17.9% increase in average balances of these investments and the thirteen interest rate increases that have occurred since June 30, 2004. In 2004, total investment income increased $641,000 from 2003. We sold $14,624,000 in investment securities in 2005 due to funding several new loans and some portfolio restructuring. The realized gain from sales of available for sale investments is discussed in non-interest income below. Due to our low loan to deposit ratio, a significant contributor to interest income is the investment portfolio, which represents 22.6% and 24.1% of net interest income before provision for credit losses for 2005 and 2004, respectively.   In an effort to increase yields, without accepting unreasonable risk, a significant portion of the investment purchases have been in high quality mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) and collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”). At December 31, 2005, we held $48,431,000 or 45.9% of the total market value of the investment portfolio in MBS and CMOs with an average yield of 3.65%. We understand the interest rate risks and prepayment risks associated with MBS and CMOs. In a declining interest rate environment, prepayments from MBS and CMOs could be expected to increase and the expected life of the investment could be expected to shorten. Conversely, if interest rates increase, prepayments could be expected to decline and the average life of the MBS and CMOs could be expected to extend. Additionally, changes in interest rates are reflected in the market value of the investment portfolio. During declining interest rates, the investment portfolio could be expected to have market value gains and in increasing rate environments, the market value could be expected to decline. The net of tax-effect of the change in market value of the available-for-sale investment portfolio is also reflected in the Company’s equity. At December 31, 2005, the average life of the investment portfolio was 4.5 years and the market value reflected a pre-tax loss of $845,000.   A component of the Company’s strategic plan has been to use its investment portfolio to offset, in part, its interest rate risk relating to variable rate loans. At December 31, 2005, an immediate rate increase of 200 basis points would result in an estimated decrease in the market value of the investment portfolio by approximately $7,519,000. Conversely, with an immediate rate decrease of 200 basis points, the estimated increase in the market value of the investment portfolio is $6,460,000. The modeling environment assumes management would take no action during an immediate shock of 200 basis points. The likelihood of immediate changes of 200 basis points is contrary to expectation, as evidenced by the changes in interest rates in the past year, which were in 25 basis point increments. However, the Company uses those increments to measure its interest rate risk in accordance with regulatory requirements and to measure the possible future risk in the investment portfolio. For further discussion of the Company’s market risk, refer to Item 7A - Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.   Management’s review of all investments before purchase includes an analysis of how the security will perform under several interest rate scenarios to monitor whether investments are consistent with our investment policy. The policy addresses issues of average life, duration, and concentration guidelines, prohibited investments, impairment, and prohibited practices.   Total interest income in 2005 increased  $9,271,000, to $26,070,000 compared to $16,799,000 in 2004 and $14,970,000 in 2003. The 55.2% increase in 2005 was due to the 33.0% increase in the average balance of interest earning assets, combined with the 91 basis point increase in the yield on those assets. Average interest-earning assets increased to $414,257,000 for 2005 compared to $311,456,000 for 2004, and $275,846,000 for 2003. The yield on interest earning assets increased to 6.46% for 2005 compared to 5.55% and 5.58% for 2004 and 2003, respectively. The $102,801,000 increase in average earning assets in 2005 was the result of our own organic growth and the approximate $45,779,000 in loans and $19,250,000 in investments as the result of the merger of BMC.   37        Interest expense on deposits in 2005 increased $2,093,000 or 116.7% to $3,886,000 compared to $1,793,000 and $2,004,000 in 2004 and 2003, respectively. The increase in 2005 compared to 2004 was due to the repricing of interest bearing deposits, which increased 52 basis points to 1.37% in 2005 from .85% in 2004, as a result of the increases in the Federal funds interest rate and the $72,770,000 increase in volume of average interest bearing deposits from 2004 to 2005. The decrease in 2004 compared to 2003 was due to the change in mix of the interest bearing deposits and the repricing of those deposits. Rates paid on interest bearing deposits decreased 20 basis points from 1.05% in 2003 while the volume of average interest bearing deposits increased $19,448,000 from 2003 to 2004. Average interest-bearing deposits were $283,013,000 for 2005 compared to $210,243,000 and $190,795,000 for 2004 and 2003, respectively. The increase was the result of our own internal growth and the addition of approximately $44,596,000 in interest-bearing deposits in 2005 as the result of the merger of BMC.   Average other borrowings decreased to $6,725,000 with an effective rate of 3.76% for 2005 compared to $7,311,000 with an effective rate of 2.53% for 2004. In 2003 the average other borrowings were $8,230,000 with an effective rate of 3.48% Included in other borrowings are advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) and a loan from a major bank, in late 2004, primarily to provide additional capital for the Bank in conjunction with the merger with BMC. We borrowed funds from the Federal Home Loan Bank during a period of low interest rates. The effective rate of the FHLB advances was 2.36% for 2005 compared to 2.53% for 2004 and 3.48% for 2003.   In partial offset to the increase in the cost of interest bearing deposits and other borrowings, the increase in non-interest bearing demand deposits has contributed significantly to the overall cost of funds. Average demand deposits increased 27.7% from an average $97,210,000 for 2004 to $124,175,000 for 2005. The merger with BMC added approximately $19,173,000 in non-interest bearing deposits to our portfolio. The cost of all of our interest bearing liabilities increased 52 basis points to 1.43% for 2005 compared to 0.91% for 2004 and 1.15% for 2003. Average transaction accounts (including interest bearing checking, money market accounts and non-interest bearing demand deposits) increased 28.1% to $293,609,000 for 2005 compared to $229,249,000 for 2004 and $193,556,000 for 2003.   Net Interest Income before Provision for Credit Losses    Net interest income before provision for credit losses for 2005 increased $7,110,000 or 48.0% to $21,931,000 compared to $14,821,000 for 2004 and $12,680,000 for 2003. This increase in 2005 compared to 2004 was primarily due to the increase in the net interest margin, combined with an increase in average interest earning assets partially offset by the increase in average interest bearing liabilities. Average interest earning assets were $414,257,000 for 2005 with a net interest margin of 5.46% compared to $311,456,000 with a net interest margin of 4.91% in 2004. The increase in 2004 compared to 2003 was primarily due to the increase in the net interest margin, combined with an increase in average interest earning assets. Average interest-earning assets were $275,846,000 with a net interest margin of 4.75% for 2003. For a discussion of the repricing of our assets and liabilities, see Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk in Item 7A of this Annual Report.   Provision for Credit Losses    We provide for possible credit losses by a charge to operating income based upon the composition of the loan portfolio, past delinquency levels, losses and non-performing assets, economic and environmental conditions and other factors which, in management’s judgement, deserve recognition in estimating credit losses. Loans are charged off when they are considered uncollectible or of such little value that continuance as an active earning bank asset is not warranted.   The establishment of an adequate credit allowance is based on both an accurate risk rating system and loan portfolio management tools. The Board has established initial responsibility for the accuracy of credit risk grades with the individual credit officer. The grading is then submitted to the Chief Credit Administrator (“CCA”), who reviews the grades for accuracy and makes recommendations to Credit Review who gives final approval. The risk grading and reserve allocation is analyzed annually by a third party credit reviewer and by various regulatory agencies.   Quarterly, the CCA sets the specific reserve for all adversely risk-graded credits. This process includes    38        the utilization of loan delinquency reports, classified asset reports, and portfolio concentration reports to assist in accurately assessing credit risk and establishing appropriate reserves. Reserves are also allocated to credits that are not adversely graded. Historical loss experience within the portfolio along with peer bank loss experiences are used in determining the level of the reserves held.   The allowance for credit losses is reviewed at least quarterly by the Board’s Audit/Compliance Committee and by the Board of Directors. Reserves are allocated to loan portfolio categories using percentages which are based on both historical risk elements such as delinquencies and losses and predictive risk elements such as economic, competitive and environmental factors. We have adopted the specific reserve approach to allocate reserves to each adversely graded asset, as well as to each impaired asset for the purpose of estimating potential loss exposure. Although the allowance for credit losses is allocated to various portfolio categories, it is general in nature and available for the loan portfolio in its entirety. Additions may be required based on the results of independent loan portfolio examinations, regulatory agency examinations, or our own internal review process. Additions are also required when, in management’s judgement, the allowance does not properly reflect the portfolio’s potential loss exposure.   The allocation of the allowance for credit losses is set forth below:      Loan Type(Dollars in Thousands)       December 31, 2005   Amount       Percent of   Loans in   Each   Category to   Total Loans       December 31, 2004   Amount       Percent of   Loans in   Each   Category to   Total Loans                                                   Commercial & Industrial       $   1,325       27.5   %   $   786       27.5   %     Real Estate       1,138       41.0   %   898       35.9   %     Real Estate - construction, land development and other land loans       378       15.4   %   197       16.9   %     Equity Lines of Credit       175       7.8   %   136       8.9   %     Agricultural       198       2.5   %   151       7.6   %     Consumer & Installment       120       5.8   %   178       3.1   %     Other       1       0.0   %   51       0.1   %     Non-specific reserve       4               300                         $   3,339               $   2,697                  Managing credits identified through the risk evaluation methodology includes developing a business strategy with the customer to mitigate our potential losses. Management continues to monitor these credits with a view to identifying as early as possible when, and to what extent, additional provisions may be necessary.   The provision for credit losses in 2005 was $510,000. There were no provisions made in 2004 and 2003. The increase in 2005 is primarily the result of our assessment of the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses after giving effect to the charge-off in December 2005 of two (2) commercial loans. The borrower suffered a fire in one of their facilities. The event had a material impact on the operations of the company which has subsequently filed for Chapter 7 protection. Recovery potential on these two loans is uncertain. Non-performing loans as a percentage of gross loans was 0.2% as of December 31, 2005 compared to none at December 31, 2004 and 0.3% at December 31, 2003. Non-performing loans as of December 31, 2005 totaled $616,000 and were comprised of one real estate secured loan for $591,000 and one commercial loan for $25,000. We do not anticipate a loss on either loan. The Company did not have any other real estate owned at December 31, 2005 or  2004.   For 2005 we had a net charge off ratio of 0.223%. For 2004, we had a net recovery ratio of 0.139%,and a net charge-off ratio of 0.005% for 2003. The potential for a future net recovery position is not likely as we have been very successful in collection of those loans charged off in prior years. Refer to the allowance for credit losses section for further discussion of credit quality.   39        The completion of the merger of BMC into the Bank provided an additional $751,000 to the allowance for credit losses. Based on information currently available, management believes that the allowance for credit losses should be adequate to absorb estimated probable losses in the portfolio. However, no assurance can be given that we may not sustain charge-offs which are in excess of the allowance in any given period. Refer to “Allowance for Credit Losses” below for further information of the allowance for credit losses.   Net Interest Income After Provision for Credit Losses    Net interest income after the $510,000 addition to provision for credit losses was $21,421,000 for 2005 compared to $14,821,000 and $12,680,000 for 2004 and 2003, respectively.   Non-Interest Income   Non-interest income is comprised of customer service charges, loan placement fees, gain on sales of investments and other income. Non-interest income was $3,760,000 in 2005 compared to $3,937,000 and $4,546,000 in 2004 and 2003, respectively. The $177,000 decrease in non-interest income comparing 2005 to 2004 was primarily due to the decrease in gain realized on sale of investment securities of $391,000. The decrease from 2004 to 2003 was mainly due to the $447,000 decrease in rentals from equipment leased to others. We have allowed the volume of leases to run-off and have not replaced them as we have exited that activity.   Customer service charges increased $74,000 to $2,414,000 in 2005 compared to $2,340,000 in 2004 and $2,215,000 in 2003. The increase in both years is mainly due to an increase in the activity level as the average number of transaction accounts has increased and the increase in fees generated by the overdraft protection program which began in 2003.   We earn loan placement fees from the brokerage of single-family residential mortgage loans provided for the convenience of our customers. Loan placement fees increased $60,000 in 2005 to $390,000 compared to $330,000 for 2004 and decreased in 2004 by $158,000 from $488,000 in 2003. The increase in 2005 is primarily due to the continued relative strength of normal home sales due to “moving up” or relocating as Fresno and Madera counties continue to reflect affordable housing compared to other parts of California. The decrease in 2004 compared to 2003 is mainly due to the impact of the increases in mortgage rates and less refinancing opportunities.   Appreciation in cash surrender value of bank owned life insurance (BOLI) increased $15,000 mainly due to $440,000 in BOLI purchased in 2005. The Bank purchased the additional insurance in connection with increases to the split-dollar life insurance policies related to salary continuation benefits for four key executives. Offsetting the increase in volume was a decrease in the interest rate received. Appreciation in 2004 compared to 2003 decreased $103,000 as a result of the decrease in the yields earned. This interest rate is reviewed annually by the Board of Directors. Salary continuation and the related BOLI are used as a retention tool for directors and key executives of the Bank.   The Bank holds stock from the Federal Home Loan Bank in relationship with the borrowing capacity and generally receives quarterly dividends. We currently hold $1,659,000 in FHLB stock of which $172,000 was the result of the merger with BMC compared to $1,420,000 at December 31, 2004. Dividends in 2005 increased to $68,000 compared to $41,000 in 2004 and $28,000 in 2003.   Other income increased to $581,000 in 2005 compared to $505,000 and $521,000 in 2004 and 2003, respectively. The $76,000 increase comparing 2005 to 2004 can be attributed to an increase in merchant fees from bankcards, an increase in overall fees charged for miscellaneous services due to increases in volume, and fees from investment services provided by a third party. 2003 included $485,000 from lease rental income from equipment leased to others compared to none in 2005 and $38,000 in 2004. The decrease is a result of the Company’s decision to no longer participate in operating lease arrangements.   Non-Interest Expenses    Salaries and employee benefits, occupancy and equipment, professional services, and data processing    40        are the major categories of non-interest expenses. Non-interest expenses increased $2,674,000 to $15,793,000 in 2005 compared to $13,119,000 in 2004 which increased $764,000 in 2004 from $12,355,000 in 2003.   The Bank’s efficiency ratio, measured as the percentage of non-interest expenses to net interest income before provision for credit losses plus non-interest income (excluding gains on sales of investments), improved to 58.7% for 2005 compared to 69.2% for 2004 and 72.6% for 2003.   Salaries and employee benefits increased $1,639,000 or 21.7% to $9,178,000 in 2005 compared to $7,539,000 in 2004 and $7,152,000 in 2003. The increase in salaries and employee benefits in 2005 compared to 2004 can be attributed to normal cost increases for salaries and benefits and incentive based compensation due to increased loan and deposit production, profitability, and the additional personnel costs from the merger with BMC which includes the salary of one former BMC executive officer retained by the Company following the merger. The $387,000 increase in 2004 compared to 2003 is primarily related to general salary and benefit increases and additional staffing. Commissions paid for loan placements in 2005 increased $49,000 comparing 2005 to 2004. Commissions were $199,000 for 2005 compared to $150,000 in 2004 and $229,000 in 2003.   Occupancy and equipment expense increased $512,000 to $2,133,000 in 2005 compared to $1,621,000 in 2004 and $1,576,000 in 2003. The 31.6% increase in occupancy expense in 2005 compared to 2004 was due mainly to the addition of the two branches resulting from the merger, normal increases in rent on existing leaseholds, and other occupancy related expenses. The 2.9% increase in 2004 compared to 2003 was due to increased depreciation costs related to remodeling of offices.   Other non-interest expenses increased $561,000 or 14.3% in 2005 compared to 2004. Contributing to the 2005 increase in other non-interest expense was an additional $100,000 write down to the Company’s investment in CATEX Holding Corporation, formerly known as Diversified Capital Holdings, the parent company of a title and escrow insurance company that was sold in July 2005. To date, the Company has written down a total of $250,000 of the original $500,000 investment. The Company has received $176,000 from the sale and anticipates full recovery of the remaining balance of $74,000. Other non-interest expenses increased $496,000 or 14.5% in 2004 compared to 2003. Contributing to the 2004 increase was a $150,000 write down to the Company’s investment described above, $95,000 in expenses associated with the BMC merger and data processing conversion, and $127,000 reversal of previously recorded state tax benefits relating to the Company’s REIT.

Provision for income taxes totaled $3,344,000, $1,944,000 and $1,499,000 in 2005, 2004, and 2003 respectively.   FINANCIAL CONDITION    Summary of Changes in Consolidated Balance Sheets   December 31, 2005 compared to December 31, 2004   The merger of BMC along with the demand for our banking products has led to continued increases in loans and deposits during 2005. As of December 31, 2005, total assets were $483,677,000, an increase of 31.4%, or $115,530,000, compared to $368,147,000 as of December 31, 2004. Total gross loans increased 44.2% or $92,523,000, to $301,802,000 as of December 31, 2005 compared to $209,279,000 as of December 31, 2004. Total deposits increased 32.1% or, $104,803,000 to $430,989,000 as of December 31, 2005 compared to $326,186,000 as of December 31, 2004. Shareholders’ equity increased 40.3% or $11,917,000 to $41,523,000 as of December 31, 2005 compared to $29,606,000 as of December 31, 2004.   As stated previously, we completed the merger with BMC into the Bank on January 1, 2005. The merger added $45,779,000 in loans, $63,769,000 in deposits, and $68,080,000 in total assets to our balance sheet as of January 1, 2005. As a result of the merger, $8,955,000 was recorded as goodwill and $1,500,000 as core deposit intangible. See Note 2 of the audited Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Annual Report.   Investments   Our investment portfolio consists primarily of agency securities, mortgage backed securities, municipal securities, and overnight investments in the Federal funds market and are all classified as available-for-sale. As of December 31, 2005, investment securities with a fair value of $27,800,000 were held as collateral for public funds, treasury, tax, and for other purposes. Our investment policies are established by the Board of Directors and implemented by our Investment/Asset Liability Committee. It is designed primarily to provide and maintain liquidity, to enable us to meet our pledging requirements for public money and borrowing arrangements, to generate a favorable return on investments without incurring undue interest rate and credit risk, and to complement our lending activities.   The volume of our investment portfolio is generally considered higher than our peers due mostly to our relatively low loan to deposit ratio. The total investment portfolio increased 6.6% from $127,895,000 at December 31, 2004 to $136,340,000 at December 31, 2005. The market value of the portfolio reflected an unrealized loss of $845,000 at December 31, 2005 compared to an unrealized gain of $562,000 at December 31, 2004 which reflects the increase in the Federal funds rate of 200 basis points since the end of the year.   Management periodically evaluates each investment security for other than temporary impairment, relying primarily on industry analyst reports, observation of market conditions and interest rate fluctuations. Management believes it will be able to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the underlying investment securities and that the noted decline in fair value is considered temporary and due only to interest rate fluctuations.   See Note 3 to the Company’s audited Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Annual Report for carrying values and estimated fair values of our investment securities portfolio.   Loans   Total gross loans have increased to $301,802,000 as of December 31, 2005 compared to $209,279,000 as of December 31, 2004.   42        The following table sets forth information concerning the composition of our loan portfolio at the dates indicated:      Loan Type   (Dollars in thousands)       December 31,   2005       % of Total   loans       December 31,   2004       % of Total   loans                                                   Commercial & Industrial       $   82,978       27.5   %   $   57,669       27.5   %     Real Estate       124,043       41.0   %   75,424       35.9   %     Real Estate - construction, land development and other land loans       46,523       15.4   %   35,364       16.9   %     Equity Lines of Credit       23,604       7.8   %   18,714       8.9   %     Agricultural       17,547       2.5   %   15,946       7.6   %     Consumer & Installment       7,539       5.8   %   6,420       3.1   %     Other       160       0.0   %   240       0.1   %                                                       302,394       100.0   %   209,777       100.0   %     Deferred loan fees, net       (592   )           (498   )             Total loans       $   301,802               $   209,279                  As of December 31, 2005, a concentration of loans existed in loans collateralized by real estate (real estate, real estate construction, land development and other land loans, and equity lines of credit) comprising 64.2% of total loans. This level of concentration is consistent with December 31, 2004. Although management believes the loans within this concentration have no more than the normal risk of collectibility, a substantial decline in the performance of the economy in general or a decline in real estate values in the our primary market areas, in particular, could have an adverse impact on collectibility, increase the level of real estate-related non-performing loans, or have other adverse effects which alone or in the aggregate could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.   We believe that our commercial real estate loan underwriting policies and practices result in prudent extensions of credit, but recognize that our lending activities result in relatively high reported commercial real estate lending levels. Commercial real estate loans include certain loans which represent low to moderate risk and certain loans with higher risks.   The Board of Directors reviews and approves concentration limits and exceptions to limitations of concentration are reported to the Board of Directors at least quarterly.   Non-performing assets   Non-performing assets consist of non-performing loans, other real estate owned (“OREO”) and repossessed assets. Non-performing loans are those loans which have (i) been placed on non-accrual status, (ii) been subject to troubled debt restructuring, (iii) been classified as doubtful under our asset classification system, or (iv) become contractually past due 90 days or more with respect to principal or interest and have not been restructured or otherwise placed on non-accrual status. A loan is classified as non-accrual when 1) it is maintained on a cash basis because of deterioration in the financial condition of the borrower, 2) payment in full of principal or interest under the original contractual terms is not expected, or 3) principal or interest has been in default for a period of 90 days or more unless the asset is both well secured and in the process of collection.   At December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, we had no OREO, repossessed assets or restructured loans. At December 31, 2005, we had two non-accrual loans totaling $616,000 compared to no non-accrual loans at December 31, 2004. At December 31, 2005, we estimated the potential for any losses from these credits would have a minimal impact on the allowance for credit losses.   A summary of non-accrual, restructured, and past due loans at December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004 is set forth below. The Company had no restructured loans and no accruing loans past due more than 90 days at December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004. Management is not aware of any potential problem loans,    43        which were current and accruing at December 31, 2005, where serious doubt exists as to the ability of the borrower to comply with the present repayment terms. Management can give no assurance that non-accrual and other non-performing loans will not increase in the future.   Composition of Non-accrual, Past Due and Restructured Loans      (Dollars in Thousands)       December 31,   2005       December 31, 2004         Non-accrual   Loans                         Commercial and   Industrial       $   25       $   —         Real Estate       591       —         Total   non-accrual       616       —         Accruing loans past   due 90 days or more       —       —         Restructured   loans       —       —         Total   non-performing loans       $   616       $   —         Nonperforming   loans to total loans       0.20   %   0.0   %     Ratio of non-performing loans to allowance for credit losses       18.5   %   0.0   %     Loans considered   to be impaired       $   616       $   —         Related   allowance for credit losses on impaired loans       $   —       $   —          We measure our impaired loans by using the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral-dependent and the present value of the expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate if the loan is not collateral-dependent. As of December 31, 2005, we had $616,000 in impaired loans. We place loans on non-accrual status that are delinquent 90 days or more or when a reasonable doubt exists as to the collectibility of interest and principal. Management maintains certain loans that have been brought current by the borrower (less than 30 days delinquent) on non-accrual status until such time as management has determined that the loans are likely to remain current in future periods.   Classified Assets    From time to time, management has reason to believe that certain borrowers may not be able to repay their loans within the parameters of the present repayment terms, even though, in some cases, the loans are current at the time. These loans are graded in the classified loan grades of “substandard,” “doubtful,” or “loss” and include non-performing loans. Each classified loan is monitored monthly. Classified assets, consisting of non-accrual loans, loans graded as substandard or lower, other real estate owned and repossessed assets, (all net of government guarantees), totaled $2,598,000 as of December 31, 2005 compared to $1,564,000 as of December 31, 2004.   Allowance for Credit Losses   We have established a methodology for the determination of the allowance for credit losses. The methodology is set forth in a formal policy and takes into consideration the need for an overall allowance for credit losses as well as specific allowances that are tied to individual loans. Our methodology for assessing the appropriateness of the allowance consists of several key elements, which include the formula allowance and a specific allowance for identified problem loans.   In originating loans, we recognize that losses will be experienced and that the risk of loss will vary with, among other things, the type of loan being made, the creditworthiness of the borrower over the term of the loan, general economic conditions and, in the case of a secured loan, the quality of the collateral securing the loan. The    44        allowance is increased by provisions charged against earnings and reduced by net loan charge offs. Loans are charged off when they are deemed to be uncollectible, or partially charged off when portions of a loan are deemed to be uncollectible. Recoveries are generally recorded only when cash payments are received.   The allowance for credit losses is maintained to cover losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The responsibility for the review of our assets and the determination of the adequacy lies with management and our Audit Committee. They delegate the authority to the CCA to determine the loss reserve ratio for each type of asset and reviews, at least quarterly, the adequacy of the allowance based on an evaluation of the portfolio, past experience, prevailing market conditions, amount of government guarantees, concentration in loan types and other relevant factors.   The allowance for credit losses is an estimate of the losses that may be sustained in our loan and lease portfolio. The allowance is based on two principles of accounting: (1) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies,” which requires that losses be accrued when they are probable of occurring and estimable; and (2) SFAS No. 114, “Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan” and SFAS No. 118, “Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan—Income Recognition and Disclosures,” which requires that losses be accrued based on the differences between the value of collateral, present value of future cash flows or values that are observable in the secondary market and the loan balance.   The Company under SFAS No. 5 establishes reserves. Credit Administration adheres to an internal asset review system and loss allowance methodology designed to provide for timely recognition of problem assets and adequate valuation allowances to cover expected asset losses. The Bank’s asset monitoring process includes the use of asset classifications to segregate the assets, largely loans and real estate, into various risk categories. The Bank uses the various asset classifications as a means of measuring risk and determining the adequacy of valuation allowances by using a nine-grade system to classify assets. All credit facilities exceeding 90 days of delinquency require classification.   The allowance for credit losses has seven components: the general valuation allowance, criticized and classified allowance, the specific valuation allowance, large borrower risk allowance, pool loan allowance, Q factor allowance and the model risk allowance. Each of these components is determined based upon estimates that can and do change when the actual events occur.   •      General valuation allowances (“GVA”): This element relates to assets with no well-defined deficiency or weakness (i.e. assets classified pass) and takes into consideration losses that are imbedded within the portfolio but have not yet been recognized. Generally, borrowers are impacted by events well in advance of a lender’s knowledge that may ultimately result in loan default and eventual loss. An example of such a loss-causing event would be the loss of a major tenant in the case of commercial real estate loan. General valuation allowances are determined through consideration of past loss experience   •      GVA is calculated by applying loss factors to outstanding loans, in each case based on the internal risk grade of pass of such loans and commercial leases. Changes in risk grades affect the amount of the allowance. Loss factors are based on our historical loss experience and may be adjusted for significant factors that, in management’s judgment, affect the collectibility of the portfolio as of the evaluation date.   •      Loss factors are developed in the following ways:   • pass graded loss factors for commercial, financial, and industrial loans along with real estate construction [participated, commercial or consumer] derive from a migration model that tracks historical losses over a period (usually the last thirty six calendar months) which we believe captures the inherent losses in our loan portfolio;   • pass graded loss factors for commercial real estate loans are based on the average annual net charge-off rate over a period reflective of a full economic cycle; the past seven years.   We believe that an economic cycle is a period in which both upturns and downturns in the economy have been reflected. We calculate a loss factor over a time interval that spans what we believe constitutes a complete and representative economic cycle.   45        •      Criticized and classified allowance: At the time of credit analysis and risk determination, credits, which have been determined to contain a weakness higher than management’s overall risk appetite, are graded as criticized or classified. Once validated that the credit is not impaired, a risk of loss is calculated and applied.   •      The CCA identifies credits that have a risk level of special mention or worse, however not inclusive of Impaired Assets. The calculation uses the credit’s expected default frequency (EDF) as estimated by Moody’s risk for private companies. In each case use of the loan maturity defines if the one or five year default component is employed. Default is defined by Moody’s as a statistical probability that the credit will either miss or delay interest and/or principal payment, bankruptcy or receivership will occur, or exchange security where the exchange has the apparent purpose of helping the borrower avoid default. The exception to use of the EDF is found in the watch credits whereby the loan has an automatic 1% reserve held on outstanding balance. If the EDF has not been calculated, the Bank maintains an allocation equal to the sum of:   100% of those loans classified loss 50% of those loans classified doubtful 15% of those loans classified substandard 5% of those loans classified special mention 1% of those loans classified watch   •      Pool loan allowance (“PLA”): Our residential and consumer loans and leases are relatively homogeneous with no single loan individually significant in terms of its size or potential risk of loss. Therefore, we review our residential and consumer portfolios by analyzing their performance as a pool of loans. Generally, borrowers become impacted by events well in advance of a lender’s knowledge that may ultimately result in loan default and eventual loss. Examples of such loss-causing events would be borrower job loss, divorce or medical crisis in the case of single family residential and consumer loans.   •      Risk grade is not a component of this computation.   •      Loss factors are developed in the following ways:   • Pooled loan loss factors (not individually graded loans) are based on expected net charge-offs for one year. Pooled loans are loans that are homogeneous in nature, such as consumer installment, home equity, residential mortgage loans and consumer leases.   •      Large borrower risk allowance (“LBA”): CVCB has a number of borrowers with large loan balances which may create an additional risk if one or two of these borrowers were to unexpectedly default. Therefore an additional allowance for this risk is analyzed and applied.   •      LBA identifies those credits with outstandings exceeding the house lending limit.   •      Q factor allowances (“QFA”): The methodology applied in all other allowance sections does not account for both quantitative and qualitative factors and documentation. Any methodology falls subject to some uncertainties. All loans and commercial leases contain, in management’s judgment, factors where loss recognition exists due to effects of the national and local economies, trends in nature and volume, changes in mix, consumer credit score migration, loan administration, concentrations, changes in internal lending policies, and collection practices to mention just a few.   •      QFA is subjective by definition. The factors reflect management’s overall estimate of the additional rate of loss over the next four quarters that differ from either the historical loss experience or other valuations. The factors ever evolve and expectation of change from quarter to quarter is expected, both in inclusion and in value. As multiple factors exist which may be evaluated in connection with this allowance, topics noted below are examples only:   • general economic and business conditions affecting our key lending areas; • credit quality trends (including trends in nonperforming loans expected to result from existing conditions);   46        • 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 economic cycle; • government regulation • bank regulatory examination results; and • findings of our internal and external credit reviewers.   Model risk allowance (“MRA”): The allowance methodologies noted above are by definition imprecise. Any methodology is subject to some uncertainties. Estimating future losses inherent in a loan portfolio will vary with each method. Therefore, one applies a model risk component to determine a loss provision. This allowance is also used to establish a minimum floor by which the provision for credit loss would not decline below 1% of total gross loans.   The following table sets forth information regarding our allowance for credit losses at the dates and for the periods indicated:               For the Years Ended December 31,         (Dollars in thousands)       2005       2004                                   Balance, beginning of the year       $   2,697       $   2,425         Addition from merger with BMC       751       —         Provision charged to operations       510       —         Losses charged to the allowance       (787   )   (24   )     Recoveries on loans previously charged off       168       296                                   Balance, end of period       $   3,339       $   2,697                                   Ratio of non-performing loans to allowance for credit losses       18.5   %   N/A         Allowance for credit losses to total loans       1.11   %   1.29   %      As of December 31, 2005 the balance in the allowance for credit losses was $3,339,000 compared to $2,697,000 as of December 31, 2004. The increase resulted from the incorporation of the allowance for credit losses from the merger with BMC into the Bank’s allowance and the $510,000 additional provision, offset by net charge-offs totaling 619,000. The balance of commitments to extend credit on undisbursed construction and other loans and letters of credit was $133,956,000 as of December 31, 2005 compared to $107,816,000 as of December 31, 2004. Risks and uncertainties exist in all lending transactions, and even though there have historically been no charge offs on construction and other loans that have not been fully disbursed, our management and Directors’ Loan Committee have established reserve levels based on historical losses as well as economic uncertainties and other risks that exist as of each reporting period.   As of December 31, 2005 the allowance was 1.11% of total gross loans compared to 1.29% as of December 31, 2004. Some shift occurred in the concentration of real estate loans without an offsetting increase in the allocated allowance. However, based on the Company’s historical low rate of real estate charge offs, management feels the current allocation is adequate. Assumptions regarding the collateral value of various under performing loans may affect the level and allocation of the allowance for credit losses in future periods. The allowance may also be affected by trends in the amount of charge offs experienced or expected trends within different loan portfolios. The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of non-performing loans was 542% as of December 31, 2005. There were no non-performing loans as of December 31, 2004. Management believes the allowance at December 31, 2005 is adequate based upon its ongoing analysis of the loan portfolio, historical loss trends and other factors. However, no assurance can be given that the Company may not sustain charge-offs which are in excess of the allowance in any given period.   47        Deposits and Borrowings   Total deposits increased $104,803,000 or 32.1% to $430,989,000 as of December 31, 2005 compared to $326,186,000 as of December 31, 2004. Interest bearing deposits increased $57,034,000 or 25.8% to $277,985,000 as of December 31, 2005 compared to $220,951,000 as of December 31, 2004. Non-interest bearing deposits increased $47,769,000 or 45.4% to $153,004,000 as of December 31, 2005 compared to $105,235,000 as of December 31, 2004. The increase in deposits attributable to the BMC merger is approximately $63,769,000. The remaining growth is consistent with our strategy to grow our core deposit base and has occurred because of growth in our retail banking offices. In the merger with BMC we acquired 2 branches located in Oakhurst and Madera, California. We plan to open an additional branch in the first quarter of 2006 in downtown Fresno, California.   The composition of the deposits and average interest rates paid at December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004 is summarized in the table below.

Short-term borrowings include $1,250,000 in principal payments coming due in 2006 on the loan with a major bank (described below) and $2,000,000 in FHLB advances maturing in the next twelve months. We maintain a line of credit with the FHLB collateralized by commercial loans and government securities. Refer to Liquidity below for further discussion of FHLB advances.   Long-term debt, which consisted of payments coming due in 2007 on a loan with a major bank, described below, and $2,000,000 in FHLB advances maturing in 2007, totaled $3,250,000 as of December 31, 2005 compared to $6,500,000 as of December 31, 2004.   On December 17, 2004, the Company entered into a non-revolving loan agreement with a major bank under which the Company borrowed $2,500,000 and contributed $2,000,000 of additional capital to the Bank. The loan bears interest indexed to prime or LIBOR, at the Company’s election. Further terms and conditions of the loan agreement were outlined in Report on Form 8-K filed on December 22, 2004. The purpose of the borrowing was to ensure the Bank’s capital ratios remain at or above well capitalized after the effective date of the merger with BMC. Refer to Note 8 to the audited Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Annual Report.   Capital   Our stockholders’ equity increased to $41,523,000 as of December 31, 2005 compared to $29,606,000 as of December 31, 2004. The increase in stockholders’ equity is a result of net income of $6,044,000 for 2005 combined with the increase in common stock from the merger with BMC, and proceeds from the exercise of stock options.   During the period the Company’s borrowings remains outstanding, which is expected to be until approximately 2007, the Bank does not anticipate paying dividends to the Company except for dividends that are    48        necessary to meet the ordinary and usual operating expenses of the Company provided that the Bank would not pay any dividend that would cause it to be deemed not “well capitalized” under applicable banking laws and regulations.   Management considers capital requirements as part of its strategic planning process. The strategic plan calls for continuing increases in assets and liabilities, and the capital required may therefore be in excess of retained earnings. The ability to obtain capital is dependent upon the capital markets as well as our performance. Management regularly evaluates sources of capital and the timing required to meet its strategic objectives.   The following table presents the Company’s and the Bank’s capital ratios as of December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004.

Our liquidity is actively managed on a daily basis and reviewed periodically by our management and Director’s Asset/Liability Committees. This process is intended to ensure the maintenance of sufficient funds to meet our needs, including adequate cash flow for off-balance sheet commitments.    Our primary sources of liquidity are derived from financing activities which include the acceptance of customer and, to a lesser extent, broker deposits, federal funds facilities and advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco. These funding sources are augmented by payments of principal and interest on   49        loans, the routine maturities and paydowns of securities from the securities portfolio, the stability of our core deposits and the ability to sell investment securities. Primary uses of funds include withdrawal of and interest payments on deposits, origination and purchases of loans, purchases of investment securities, and payment of operating expenses.   As a means of augmenting our liquidity, we have established Federal funds lines with correspondent banks. At December 31, 2005 our available borrowing capacity includes approximately $14,100,000 in Federal funds lines with our correspondent banks and $2,311,000 in unused FHLB advances. We believe our liquidity sources to be stable and adequate. At December 31, 2005, we were not aware of any information that was reasonably likely to have a material effect on our liquidity position.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ITEMS   In the ordinary course of business, the Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance risk. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. Such financial instruments are recorded in the financial statements when they are funded or related fees are incurred or received. The balance of commitments to extend credit on undisbursed construction and other loans and letters of credit was $133,956,000 as of December 31, 2005 compared to $107,816,000 as of December 31, 2004. For a fuller discussion of these financial instruments, see Note 10 to the audited Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Annual Report.   In the ordinary course of business, the Company is party to various operating leases. For a fuller discussion of these financial instruments, see Note 10 to the audited Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Annual Report..

See Note 13 to the audited Consolidated Financial Statements at Item 8 of this Annual Report.   ITEM 7A -                                        QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK   Interest rate risk (“IRR”) and credit risk constitute the two greatest sources of financial exposure for insured financial institutions. IRR represents the impact that changes in absolute and relative levels of market interest rates may have upon our net interest income (“NII”). Changes in the NII are the result of changes in the net interest spread between interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities (timing risk), the relationship between various rates (basis risk), and changes in the shape of the yield curve.   We realize income principally from the differential or spread between the interest earned on loans, investments, other interest-earning assets and the interest incurred on deposits and borrowings. The volumes and yields on loans, deposits and borrowings are affected by market interest rates. As of December 31, 2005, 82% of our loan portfolio was tied to adjustable rate indices. The majority of these adjustable rate loans are tied to prime and reprice within 90 days. The majority of our time deposits have a fixed rate of interest. As of December 31, 2005, 80% of our time deposits mature within one year or less. As of December 31, 2005, $2,000,000 of our long term debt was fixed rate with an average remaining term of 1.1 years and $1,250,000 of long term debt reprices on a quarterly basis.   Changes in the market level of interest rates directly and immediately affect our interest spread, and therefore profitability. Sharp and significant changes to market rates can cause the interest spread to shrink or expand significantly in the near term, principally because of the timing differences between the adjustable rate loans and the maturities (and therefore repricing) of the deposits and borrowings.   Our management and Board of Director’s Asset/Liability Committees (“ALCO”) are responsible for managing our assets and liabilities in a manner that balances profitability, IRR and various other risks including liquidity. The ALCO operates under policies and within risk limits prescribed by, reviewed and approved by the Board of Directors.   The ALCO seeks to stabilize our NII by matching rate-sensitive assets and liabilities through maintaining the maturity and repricing of these assets and liabilities at appropriate levels given the interest rate environment. When the amount of rate-sensitive liabilities exceeds rate-sensitive assets within specified time periods, NII generally will be negatively impacted by an increasing interest rate environment and positively impacted by a decreasing interest rate environment. Conversely, when the amount of rate-sensitive assets exceeds the amount of rate-sensitive liabilities within specified time periods, net interest income will generally be positively impacted by an increasing interest rate environment and negatively impacted by a decreasing interest rate environment. The speed and velocity of the repricing of assets and liabilities will also contribute to the effects on our NII, as will the presence or absence of periodic and lifetime interest rate caps and floors.    Simulation of earnings is the primary tool used to measure the sensitivity of earnings to interest rate changes. Earnings simulations are produced using a software model that is based on actual cash flows and   51        repricing characteristics for all of our financial instruments and incorporate market-based assumptions regarding the impact of changing interest rates on current volumes of applicable financial instruments.   Interest rate simulations provide us with an estimate of both the dollar amount and percentage change in NII under various rate scenarios. All assets and liabilities are normally subjected to up to 300 basis point increases and decreases in interest rates in 100 basis point increments. Under each interest rate scenario, we project our net interest income. From these results, we can then develop alternatives in dealing with the tolerance thresholds.   Approximately 82% of our loan portfolio is tied to adjustable rate indices and 61% of our loan portfolio reprices within 90 days. As of December 31, 2005, we had 136 commercial and real estate loans totaling $35,630,000 with floors ranging from 1% to 8% and ceilings ranging from 8% to 25%. In the current rate environment, the number of loans affected by floors and ceilings is minimal.   The following table shows the effects of changes in projected net interest income for the twelve months ending December 31, 2006 under the interest rate shock scenarios stated. The table was prepared as of December 31, 2005, at which time prime interest rate was 7.25%.

Actual results will differ from simulated results due to timing, magnitude and frequency of interest rate changes, as well as changes in market conditions and management strategies which might moderate the negative consequences of interest rate deviations. In the model above, the simulation shows that the Company is neutral over the one-year horizon. If interest rates increase or decline, there will be similar positive and negative impact to net interest income.   There is no material change in our current market risk exposure from the market risk exposure we experienced in 2005.   CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES   The Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued disclosure guidance for “critical accounting policies”. The SEC defines “critical accounting policies” as those that require application of management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgements, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in future periods.   Our accounting policies are integral to understanding the results reported. Our significant accounting policies are described in detail in Note 1 in the audited Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Annual Report. Not all of the significant accounting policies presented in Note 1 of the audited consolidated financial statements require management to make difficult, subjective or complex judgements or estimates.   52        Use of Estimates   The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates the estimates used. Estimates are based upon historical experience, current economic conditions and other factors that management considers reasonable under the circumstances.   These estimates result in judgements regarding the carrying values of assets and liabilities when these values are not readily available from other sources, as well as assessing and identifying the accounting treatments of contingencies and commitments. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions.   Accounting Principles Generally Accepted in the United States of America   Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).   We follow accounting policies typical to the commercial banking industry and in compliance with various regulation and guidelines as established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”), Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“AICPA”), and the Bank’s primary federal regulator, the FDIC. The following is a brief description of our current accounting policies involving significant management judgements.   Allowance for Credit Losses   Our most significant management accounting estimate is the appropriate level for the allowance for credit losses. The allowance for credit losses is established to absorb known and inherent losses attributable to loans outstanding. The adequacy of the allowance is monitored on an on-going basis and is based on our management’s evaluation of numerous factors. These factors include the quality of the current loan portfolio, the trend in the loan portfolio’s risk ratings, current economic conditions, loan concentrations, loan growth rates, past-due and non-performing trends, evaluation of specific loss estimates for all significant problem loans, historical charge-off and recovery experience and other pertinent information.   The calculation of the allowance for credit losses is by nature inexact, as the allowance represents our management’s best estimate of the losses inherent in our credit portfolios at the reporting date. These credit losses will occur in the future, and as such cannot be determined with absolute certainty at the reporting date.   Amortization of Premiums on Investments   We invest in Collateralized Mortgage Obligations (“CMO”) and Mortgage Backed Securities, (“MBS”) as part of the overall strategy to increase our net interest margin. CMOs and MBS by their nature react to changes in interest rates. In a declining rate environment, prepayments from MBS and CMOs would be expected to increase and the expected life of the investment would be expected to shorten. Conversely, if interest rates increase, prepayments would be expected to decline and the average life of the MBS and CMOs would be expected to extend. Premium amortization of these investments affects our net interest income. Our management monitors the prepayment speed of these investments and adjusts premium amortization based on several factors. These factors include the type of investment, the investment structure, interest rates, interest rates on new mortgage loans, expectation of interest rate changes, current economic conditions, level of principal remaining on the bond, the bond coupon rate, the bond origination date, and volume of available bonds in market. The calculation of premium amortization is by nature inexact, and represents management’s best estimate of principal paydowns inherent in the total investment portfolio.   Goodwill   Business combinations involving the Company’s acquisition of the equity interests or net assets of another enterprise or the assumption of net liabilities in an acquisition of branches constituting a business may   53        give rise to goodwill. Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquired entity over the net of the amounts assigned to assets acquired and liabilities assumed in transactions accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. The value of goodwill is ultimately derived from the Company’s ability to generate net earnings after the acquisition. A decline in net earnings could be indicative of a decline in the fair value of goodwill and result in impairment. For that reason, goodwill is assessed for impairment at a reporting unit level at least annually. While the Company believes all assumptions utilized in its assessment of goodwill for impairment are reasonable and appropriate, changes could cause the Company to record impairment in the future.   Stock Based Compensation   Under Accounting Practice Bulletin No.25, compensation cost for stock options is measured as the excess, if any, of the fair market value of our stock at the date of the grant over the amount required to be paid to the Company by the optionee upon exercising the option. Because our stock option plan provides for the issuance of options at a price of no less than the fair market value at the date of the grant, no compensation cost is required to be recognized for the stock option plan on the date of the grant. See Note 1 to the audited Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Annual Report.   INFLATION   The impact of inflation on a financial institution differs significantly from that exerted on other industries primarily because the assets and liabilities of financial institutions consist largely of monetary items. However, financial institutions are affected by inflation in part through non-interest expenses, such as salaries and occupancy expenses, and to some extent by changes in interest rates.   At December 31, 2005, we do not believe that inflation will have a material impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations. However, if inflation concerns cause short term rates to rise in the near future, we may benefit by immediate repricing of a majority of our loan portfolio.

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.   We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provided a reasonable basis for our opinion.   In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Central Valley Community Bancorp and subsidiary as of December 31, 2005 and 2004 and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2005, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.            /s/ Perry-Smith LLP                             Sacramento, California         January 25, 2006          55

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES   General   Central Valley Community Bancorp (the “Company”) was incorporated on February 7, 2000 and subsequently obtained approval from the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System to be a bank holding company in connection with its acquisition of Central Valley Community Bank (the “Bank”). The Company became the sole shareholder of the Bank on November 15, 2000 in a statutory merger, pursuant to which each outstanding share of the Bank’s common stock was exchanged for one share of common stock of the Company.   The Bank operates nine branches in Clovis, north Fresno, west and northeast Fresno County, Madera County, and Sacramento, California. The Bank’s primary source of revenue is providing loans to customers who are predominately small and middle-market businesses and individuals. The Bank’s subsidiaries have nominal activity with the exception of Central Valley Community Realty, LLC (“CVCR”). Effective April 15, 2005, CVCR was dissolved and no longer operates as a subsidiary of the Bank.   The accounting and reporting policies of Central Valley Community Bancorp and subsidiary conform with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and prevailing practices within the banking industry.   Management has determined that since all of the banking products and services offered by the Company are available in each branch of the Bank, all branches are located within the same economic environment and management does not allocate resources based on the performance of different lending or transaction activities, it is appropriate to aggregate the Bank branches and report them as a single operating segment. No customer accounts for more than 10 percent of revenues for the Company or the Bank.   On September 21, 2005, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a two-for-one stock split for shareholders of record at the close of business on October 5, 2005 and effective on October 31, 2005. All share and per share data in the consolidated financial statements have been retroactively restated to give effect to the stock split.   Certain reclassifications have been made to prior years’ balances to conform to classifications used in 2005.   Principles of Consolidation   The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the consolidated accounts of its wholly-owned subsidiary, the Bank. In addition, the accounts of the Bank’s wholly owned subsidiaries, Clovest Corporation (“Clovest”) and Clovis Securities Corporation (an inactive company), are included in the consolidated financial statements. The operating results of Clovest were not significant. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.   Use of Estimates   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. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of 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 these estimates.   63        Cash and Cash Equivalents   For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, cash, due from banks and Federal funds sold are considered to be cash equivalents. Generally, Federal funds are sold for one-day periods.   Investment Securities   Investments are classified into the following categories:   •                                          Available-for-sale securities, reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported, net of taxes, as accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) within shareholders’ equity.   •                                          Held-to-maturity securities, which management has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity, reported at amortized cost, adjusted for the accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums.   Management determines the appropriate classification of its investments at the time of purchase and may only change the classification in certain limited circumstances. All transfers between categories are accounted for at fair value. As of December 31, 2005 and 2004, all of the Company’s investments were classified as available-for-sale.   Gains or losses on the sale of investment securities are computed on the specific identification method. Interest earned on investment securities is reported in interest income, net of applicable adjustments for accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums.   Investment securities are evaluated for impairment on at least a quarterly basis and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such an evaluation to determine whether a decline in their value is other than temporary. Management utilizes criteria such as the magnitude and duration of the decline and the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the securities for a period of time sufficient to allow for an anticipated recovery in fair value, in addition to the reasons underlying the decline, to determine whether the loss in value is other than temporary. The term “other than temporary” is not intended to indicate that the decline is permanent, but indicates that the prospects for a near-term recovery of value is not necessarily favorable, or that there is a lack of evidence to support a realizable value equal to or greater than the carrying value of the investment. Once a decline in value is determined to be other than temporary, the value of the security is reduced and a corresponding charge to earnings is recognized.   Loans   Loans are stated at principal balances outstanding. Interest is accrued daily based upon outstanding loan balances. However, when, in the opinion of management, loans are considered impaired and the future collectibility of interest and principal is in serious doubt, a loan is placed on nonaccrual status and the accrual of interest income is suspended. Any interest accrued but unpaid is charged against income. Payments received are applied to reduce principal to the extent necessary to ensure collection. Subsequent payments on these loans, or payments received on nonaccrual loans for which the ultimate collectibility of principal is not in doubt, are applied first to earned but unpaid interest and then to principal.   64        An impaired loan is measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate or, as a practical matter, at the loan’s observable market price or the fair value of collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due (including both principal and interest) in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Interest income on impaired loans, if appropriate, is recognized on a cash basis.   Substantially all loan origination fees, commitment fees, direct loan origination costs and purchase premiums and discounts on loans are deferred and recognized as an adjustment of yield, to be amortized to interest income over the contractual term of the loan. The unamortized balance of deferred fees and costs is reported as a component of net loans.   The Company may acquire loans through a business combination or a purchase for which differences may exist between the contractual cash flows and the cash flows expected to be collected due, at least in part, to credit quality. When the Company acquires such loans, the yield that may be accreted (accretable yield) is limited to the excess of the Company’s estimate of undiscounted cash flows expected to be collected over the Company’s initial investment in the loan. The excess of contractual cash flows over cash flows expected to be collected may not be recognized as an adjustment to yield, loss, or a valuation allowance. Subsequent increases in cash flows expected to be collected generally should be recognized prospectively through adjustment of the loan’s yield over its remaining life. Decreases in cash flows expected to be collected should be recognized as an impairment. The Company may not “carry over” or create a valuation allowance in the initial accounting for loans acquired under these circumstances. At December 31, 2005, there were no such loans being accounted for under this policy.   Allowance for Credit Losses   The allowance for credit losses is maintained to provide for losses related to impaired loans and other losses that can be expected to occur in the normal course of business. The determination of the allowance is based on estimates made by management, to include consideration of the character of the loan portfolio, specifically identified problem loans, potential losses inherent in the portfolio taken as a whole and economic conditions in the Bank’s service area.   Classified loans and loans determined to be impaired are individually evaluated by management for specific risk of loss. In addition, a reserve factor is assigned to currently performing loans based on the Bank’s historical loss experience. Management also computes specific and expected loss reserves for loan commitments. These estimates are susceptible to changes in the economic environment and market conditions.   The Bank’s Audit Committee reviews the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses quarterly, to include consideration of the relative risks in the portfolio, current economic conditions and other factors. The allowance is adjusted based on that review if, in the judgment of the Audit Committee and management, changes are warranted.   This allowance is established through a provision for credit losses which is charged to expense. Additions to the allowance are expected to maintain the adequacy of the total allowance after credit losses and loan growth. The allowance for credit losses at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, reflects management’s estimate of potential losses in the portfolio.   65        Bank Premises and Equipment   Bank premises and equipment are carried at cost. Depreciation is determined using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. The useful lives of Bank premises are estimated to be between twenty and forty years. The useful lives of improvements to Bank premises, furniture, fixtures and equipment are estimated to be three to ten years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the life of the asset or the term of the related lease, whichever is shorter. When assets are sold or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in income for the period. The cost of maintenance and repairs is charged to expense as incurred.   The Bank evaluates premises and equipment for financial impairment as events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be fully recoverable.   Income Taxes   The Company files its income taxes on a consolidated basis with its subsidiary. The allocation of income tax expense (benefit) represents each entity’s proportionate share of the consolidated provision for income taxes.   Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the tax consequences of temporary differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment. On the balance sheet, net deferred tax assets are included in accrued interest receivable and other assets.   Stock-Based Compensation   The Company has three stock-based compensation plans, the Central Valley Community Bancorp 2005 Omnibus Incentive Plan and 2000 and 1992 Stock Option Plans. The Company accounts for these plans under the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related Interpretations. No stock-based compensation cost is reflected in net income, as all options granted under these plans had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant.   In February 2005, the Company accelerated the vesting of 186,000 options previously granted to certain directors and executive officers. The pro forma consolidated net earnings and earnings per share information for the year ended December 31, 2005, presented in the table below, reflects the acceleration. No stock-based compensation cost is reflected in net income as a result of the acceleration of the vesting as it is expected that generally all of the directors and executive management whose options were accelerated will remain with the Company through the original vesting period.   66        Pro forma adjustments to the Company’s consolidated net earnings and earnings per share are disclosed during the years in which the options become vested.              2005       2004       2003                 (In thousands, except per share amounts)                                           Net   income, as reported       $   6,044       $   3,695       $   3,372         Deduct:   Total stock-based compensation expense determined under the fair value based   method for all awards, net of related tax effects       513       250       205                                           Pro   forma net income       $   5,531       $   3,445       $   3,167                                           Basic   earnings per share - as reported       $   1.03       $   0.71       $   0.65         Basic   earnings per share - pro forma       $   0.95       $   0.66       $   0.61                                           Diluted   earnings per share - as reported       $   0.94       $   0.64       $   0.60         Diluted   earnings per share - pro forma       $   0.87       $   0.60       $   0.57                                           Weighted   average fair value of options granted during the year       $   6.56       $   9.60       $   5.84          The fair value of each option is estimated on the date of grant using an option-pricing model with the following assumptions:              2005       2004       2003                                           Dividend yield       .5   %   .5   %   .5   %     Expected volatility       50.29   %   66.27   %   65.4 to 72.77   %     Risk-free interest rate       4.16   %   4.17   %   2.05 to 3.18   %     Expected option life       6.5 years       10 years       10 years          Earnings Per Share   Basic earnings per share (EPS), which excludes dilution, is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock, such as stock options, result in the issuance of common stock which shares in the earnings of the Company. All data with respect to computing earnings per share is retroactively adjusted to reflect stock dividends and splits and the treasury stock method is applied to determine the dilutive effect of stock options in computing diluted EPS.   67        Impact of New Financial Accounting Standards   Other-Than-Temporary Impairment   In March 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) and Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) reached consensus on several issues being addressed in EITF Issue No. 03-1, The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments. The consensus provides guidance for evaluating whether an investment is other-than-temporarily impaired and was effective for other-than-temporary impairment evaluations made in reporting periods beginning after June 15, 2004. The disclosure provisions of EITF Issue No. 03-1 continue to be effective for the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2005.   On November 3, 2005, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) Nos. FAS 115-1 and FAS 124-1, The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments. This FSP addresses the determination as to when an investment is considered impaired, whether that impairment is other than temporary, and the measurement of an impairment loss. This FSP also includes accounting considerations subsequent to the recognition of an other-than-temporary impairment and requires certain disclosures about unrealized losses that have not been recognized as other-than-temporary impairments. This FSP nullifies certain requirements of EITF Issue No. 03-1, and supersedes EITF Topic No. D-44, Recognition of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment upon the Planned Sale of a Security Whose Cost Exceeds Fair Value. The guidance in this FSP amends FASB Statement No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities. The FSP is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2005. The Company does not anticipate any material impact to its financial condition or results of operations as a result of the adoption of this guidance.   Share-Based Payments   In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement No. 123 (revised 2004) (FAS 123 (R)), Share-Based Payments. FAS 123 (R) requires all entities to recognize compensation expense in an amount equal to the fair value of share-based payments such as stock options granted to employees. The Company may elect to adopt FAS 123 (R) using a modified prospective method or modified retrospective method. Under the modified retrospective method, the Company would restate previously issued financial statements, basing the compensation expense on that previously reported in their pro forma disclosures required by FAS 123. The modified prospective method would require the Company to record compensation expense for the unvested portion of previously granted awards that remain outstanding at the date of adoption as these awards continue to vest. FAS 123 (R) is effective for the first fiscal year beginning after June 15, 2005. Management has elected to use the modified prospective method and has completed its evaluation of the effect of FAS 123 (R), and does not expect it to have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.   68        Accounting Changes and Error Corrections   On June 7, 2005, the FASB issued Statement No. 154 (FAS 154), Accounting Changes and Error Corrections - a replacement of Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 20, Accounting Changes, and SFAS No. 3, Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements. Under the provisions of FAS 154, voluntary changes in accounting principles are applied retrospectively to prior periods’ financial statements unless it would be impractical to do so. FAS 154 supersedes APB Opinion No. 20, which required that most voluntary changes in accounting principles be recognized by including in the current period’s net income the cumulative effect of the change. FAS 154 also makes a distinction between “retrospective application” of a change in accounting principle and the “restatement” of financial statements to reflect the correction of an error. The provisions of FAS 154 are effective for accounting changes made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. Management of the Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.   2.                                      MERGER OF BANK OF MADERA COUNTY INTO CENTRAL VALLEY COMMUNITY BANCORP   After the close of business on December 31, 2004, the Company and Bank of Madera County (BMC) completed their previously announced merger and BMC was merged into the Bank. The Company acquired 100% of the outstanding common shares of BMC and the results of BMC’s operations have been included in the consolidated financial statements beginning January 1, 2005. Management believes that the merger will allow the Bank to further accommodate a growing customer base in Madera County and provide BMC customers with more convenient locations in the Central Valley, as well as offer new advancement and geographic opportunities for their employees. As a result of the above factors, management believes that the potential for the combined performance exceeds what each entity could accomplish independently and the goodwill in this transaction arose from the synergies associated with the merger. The acquisition is part of the Company’s long-term strategy to increase its presence from Sacramento to Bakersfield along the Highway 99 corridor and the surrounding foothills.   As of the date of acquisition, BMC had total assets of $68,080,000, comprised of $2,842,000 in cash and due from banks, $19,250,000 in Federal funds sold, $45,028,000 in loans (net of allowance for credit losses of $751,000), $390,000 in premises and equipment and $570,000 in other assets. Total liabilities acquired amounted to $64,208,000, including $63,769,000 in deposits.   The total consideration paid to BMC shareholders and option holders was approximately $14,311,000 which was comprised of $1,911,000 in cash payments to holders of outstanding BMC stock options, $6,200,000 in cash and 522,106, split adjusted, shares of the Company’s common stock (valued at $6,200,000 for purposes of the merger agreement). Total consideration paid to BMC shareholders was established under the terms of the merger agreement based on a value of $26.22 per share of BMC common stock.   The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired was $8,955,000, which was recorded as goodwill, is not subject to amortization, and is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes. In addition, assets acquired also included a core deposit intangible of $1,500,000 which is being amortized using a straight-line method over a period of seven years with no significant residual value. Amortization expense recognized in 2005 was $214,000.   69        The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of BMC since January 1, 2005. The following supplemental pro forma information discloses selected financial information for the periods indicated as though the BMC merger had been completed as of the beginning of each of the periods being reported. Dollars are in thousands except per share data. 2004 pro forma net income includes non-recurring merger expenses for legal, accounting and other professional fees, net of tax, totaling $602,000.

Management periodically evaluates each investment security for other than temporary impairment, relying primarily on industry analyst reports and observation of market conditions and interest rate fluctuations. Management believes it will be able to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the underlying investment securities and that the noted decline in fair value is considered temporary and due only to interest rate fluctuations.   Net unrealized (losses) gains on available-for-sale investment securities totaling $(845,000) and $562,000 are recorded net of $338,000 and $(232,000) in tax benefit (expense) as accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income within shareholders’ equity at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.   Proceeds and gross realized gains from sales or calls of available-for-sale investment securities totaled $15,487,000 and $92,000, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2005. Proceeds and gross realized gains from sales or calls of available-for-sale investment securities totaled $4,775,000 and $483,000, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2004. Proceeds and gross realized gains from sales or calls of available-for-sale investment securities totaled $9,105,000 and $506,000, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2003.   71        The amortized cost and estimated fair value of available-for-sale investment securities at December 31, 2005 by contractual maturity are shown below. Expected maturities will differ from contractual maturities because the issuers of the securities may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

Beginning on March 31, 2006, one-eighth (1/8) of the principal is due with each quarterly payment, along with all accrued interest. The remaining principal and accrued interest is due when the note matures on December 31, 2007.

The amount of such reserve balances required at December 31, 2005 and 2004 was $1,385,000 and $753,000, respectively.   Correspondent Banking Agreements   The Bank maintains funds on deposit with other federally insured financial institutions under correspondent banking agreements. Uninsured deposits totaled $5,098,000 at December 31, 2005.   Financial Instruments With Off-Balance-Sheet Risk   The Bank is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business in order to meet the financing needs of its customers and to reduce its own exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. These financial instruments consist of commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized on the balance sheet.   The Bank’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Bank uses the same credit policies in making commitments and standby letters of credit as it does for loans included on the balance sheet.   The following financial instruments represent off-balance-sheet credit risk:              December 31,         (In   thousands)       2005       2004                                   Commitments to extend   credit       $   133,876       $   106,561         Standby letters of   credit       $   80       $   1,255          78        Commitments to extend credit consist primarily of unfunded single-family residential and commercial real estate construction loans and commercial revolving lines of credit. Construction loans are established under standard underwriting guidelines and policies and are secured by deeds of trust, with disbursements made over the course of construction. Commercial revolving lines of credit have a high degree of industry diversification. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Standby letters of credit are generally secured and are issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. The credit risk involved in issuing standby letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers. The fair value of the liability related to these standby letters of credit, which represents the fees received for issuing the guarantees, was not significant at December 31, 2005 and 2004. The Company recognizes these fees as revenue over the term of the commitment or when the commitment is used.   At December 31, 2005, commercial loan commitments represent approximately 52% of total commitments and are generally secured by collateral other than real estate or unsecured. Real estate loan commitments represent 37% of total commitments and are generally secured by property with a loan-to-value ratio not to exceed 80%. Consumer loan commitments represent the remaining 11% of total commitments and are generally unsecured. In addition, the majority of the Bank’s loan commitments have variable interest rates.   Concentrations of Credit Risk   At December 31, 2005, in management’s judgment, a concentration of loans existed in commercial loans and real-estate-related loans. At that date, approximately 91.7% of the Bank’s loans were commercial and real-estate-related, representing 27.5% and 64.2% of total loans, respectively.   At December 31, 2004, in management’s judgment, a concentration of loans existed in commercial loans and real-estate-related loans. At that date, approximately 89.2% of the Bank’s loans were commercial and real-estate-related, representing 27.5% and 61.7% of total loans, respectively.   Although management believes the loans within these concentrations have no more than the normal risk of collectibility, a substantial decline in the performance of the economy in general or a decline in real estate values in the Company’s primary market area, in particular, could have an adverse impact on collectibility, increase the level of real-estate-related nonperforming loans, or have other adverse effects which alone or in the aggregate could have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of the Company.   Contingencies   During 2005, the Company wrote down its investment in a title and insurance company by an additional $100,000 to its estimated fair value of $250,000. This investment is included in accrued interest receivable and other assets in the consolidated balance sheet. The title and insurance company was sold in 2005. To date, the Company has received $176,000 from the sale. The Company anticipates full recovery of the balance of the investment.   79        The Company is subject to legal proceedings and claims which arise in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the amount of ultimate liability with respect to such actions will not materially affect the consolidated financial position or consolidated results of operations of the Company.   11.          SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY   Regulatory Capital   The Company and the Bank are subject to certain regulatory requirements administered by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). Failure to meet these minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory, and possibly additional discretionary, actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank’s assets, liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Company’s and the Bank’s capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors.   Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of total and Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets and of Tier 1 capital to average assets. Each of these components is defined in the regulations. Management believes that the Company and the Bank meet all their capital adequacy requirements as of December 31, 2005.   In addition, the most recent notification from the FDIC categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized, the Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth below. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the Bank’s category.              2005       2004                 Amount       Ratio       Amount       Ratio                 (Dollars in thousands)         Tier   1 Leverage Ratio                                                                                   Central   Valley Community Bancorp and Subsidiary       $   31,767       6.84   %   $   29,259       8.03   %     Minimum   regulatory requirement       $   18,572       4.00   %   $   14,574       4.00   %                                               Central   Valley Community Bank       $   32,493       7.00   %   $   29,913       8.24   %     Minimum   requirement for “Well-Capitalized” institution       $   23,204       5.00   %   $   18,155       5.00   %     Minimum   regulatory requirement       $   18,563       4.00   %   $   14,524       4.00   %                                               Tier   1 Risk-Based Capital Ratio                                                                                   Central   Valley Community Bancorp and Subsidiary       $   31,767       9.26   %   $   29,259       11.55   %     Minimum   regulatory requirement       $   13,719       4.00   %   $   10,137       4.00   %                                               Central   Valley Community Bank       $   32,493       9.48   %   $   29,913       11.83   %     Minimum   requirement for “Well-Capitalized” institution       $   20,572       6.00   %   $   15,166       6.00   %     Minimum   regulatory requirement       $   13,715       4.00   %   $   10,111       4.00   %      80                   2005       2004                 Amount       Ratio       Amount       Ratio                 (Dollars in thousands)                                                   Total   Risk-Based Capital Ratio                                                                                   Central   Valley Community Bancorp and Subsidiary       $   35,106       10.24   %   $   31,956       12.61   %     Minimum   regulatory requirement       $   27,437       8.00   %   $   20,273       8.00   %                                               Central   Valley Community Bank       $   35,832       10.45   %   $   32,610       12.90   %     Minimum   requirement for “Well-Capitalized” institution       $   34,287       10.00   %   $   25,277       10.00   %     Minimum   regulatory requirement       $   27,429       8.00   %   $   20,222       8.00   %      Dividends   The Company did not pay any cash dividends in 2005   On May 19, 2004, the Board of Directors declared a $.05 per share cash dividend for shareholders of record as of June 4, 2004, paid on or about June 30, 2004. On May 21, 2003, the Board of Directors declared a $.05 per share cash dividend to shareholders of record as of June 2, 2003, paid on or about June 30, 2003.   The Company’s primary source of income with which to pay cash dividends is dividends from the Bank. The California Financial Code restricts the total amount of dividends payable by a bank at any time without obtaining the prior approval of the California Department of Financial Institutions to the lesser of (1) the bank’s retained earnings or (2) the bank’s net income for its last three fiscal years, less distributions made to shareholders during the same three-year period. At December 31, 2005, retained earnings of $13,389,000 were free of such restrictions.   Share Repurchase Plan   During 2004 and 2003, the Company approved stock repurchase plans authorizing the purchase of shares up to a total cost of $500,000, or approximately 2% of its common stock, in each year. As of December 31, 2004 and 2003, the Company repurchased 18,000 and 10,926 shares at a total cost of $213,000 and $81,000, respectively. On October 20, 2004, the Company’s Board of Directors suspended the stock repurchase program.   81        Earnings Per Share   A reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted earnings per share computations is as follows:              For the Year Ended December 31,         (In thousands, except share and per share amounts)       2005       2004       2003                                           Basic Earnings Per   Share:                                                                   Net income       $   6,044       $   3,695       $   3,372                                           Weighted average shares   outstanding       5,844,110       5,253,658       5,172,704                                           Net income per share       $   1.03       $   0.71       $   0.65                                           Diluted Earnings Per   Share:                                                                   Net income       $   6,044       $   3,695       $   3,372                                           Weighted average shares   outstanding       5,844,110       5,253,658       5,172,704         Effect of dilutive   stock options       571,298       585,252       484,972                                           Weighted average shares   of common stock and common stock equivalents       6,415,408       5,838,910       5,657,676                                           Net income per diluted   share       $   0.94       $   0.64       $   0.60          Stock Options   During 1992, the Bank established a Stock Option Plan for which shares are reserved for issuance to employees and directors under incentive and nonstatutory agreements. The Company assumed all obligations under this plan as of November 15, 2000, and options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock were substituted for options to purchase shares of common stock of the Bank. Outstanding options under this plan are exercisable until their expiration; however, no new options will be granted under this plan.   On November 15, 2000, the Company adopted, and subsequently amended on December 20, 2000, the Central Valley Community Bancorp 2000 Stock Option Plan for which 1,085,290 shares remain reserved for issuance for options already granted to employees and directors under incentive and nonstatutory agreements and 62,426 remain reserved for future grants. The plan requires that the option price may not be less than the fair market value of the stock at the date the option is granted, and that the option price must be paid in full at the time it is exercised. The options under the plan expire on dates determined by the Board of Directors, but not later than ten years from the date of grant. The vesting period is determined by the Board of Directors and is generally over five years.   82        On March 2005, the Company adopted the Central Valley Community Bancorp 2005 Omnibus Incentive Plan. The plan provides for awards in the form of incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, and restricted stock. The plan also allows for performance awards that may be in the form of cash or shares of the Company, including restricted stock. The maximum number of shares that can be issued with respect to all awards under the plan is 476,000. The plan requires that the exercise price may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the stock at the date the option is granted, and that the option price must be paid in full at the time it is exercised. The options and awards under the plan expire on dates determined by the Board of Directors, but not later than ten years from the date of grant. The vesting period for the options and option related stock appreciation rights is determined by the Board of Directors and is generally over five years. There were no grants under this plan in 2005.   A summary of the combined activity of the plans follows:              2005       2004       2003                 Shares       Weighted   Average   Exercise   Price       Shares       Weighted   Average   Exercise   Price       Shares       Weighted   Average   Exercise   Price                                                                   Options   outstanding, beginning of year       1,052,860       $   4.69       1,131,580       $   4.64       1,062,176       $   4.01         Options   granted       156,300       $   13.50       1,000       $   11.30       156,200       $   8.61         Options   exercised       (111,980   )   $   4.08       (77,880   )   $   4.04       (62,296   )   $   3.93         Options   canceled       (11,890   )   $   8.86       (1,840   )   $   6.34       (24,500   )   $   4.45                                                                   Options   outstanding, end of year       1,085,290       $   5.97       1,052,860       $   4.69       1,131,580       $   4.64                                                                   Options   exercisable, end of year       841,770       $   4.62       681,760       $   4.19       574,800       $   3.99          A summary of options outstanding at December 31, 2005 follows:              Number of   Options   Outstanding   December 31,       Weighted   Average   Remaining   Contractual       Number of   Options   Exercisable   December 31,         Range   of Exercise Prices       2005       Life       2005                                           $  3.25  to  $  3.88       410,760       4.64 years       386,650         $  4.32  to  $  5.02       308,560       3.84 years       287,200         $  5.38  to  $  7.75       69,800       6.65 years       53,600         $  8.63  to  $ 13.50       296,170       8.54 years       114,320                                                   1,085,290               841,770          83        12.

EMPLOYEE BENEFITS   401(k) and Profit Sharing Plan   The Bank has established a 401(k) and profit sharing plan. The 401(k) plan covers substantially all employees who have completed a six-month period in which they are credited with at least 1,000 hours of service. Participants in the profit sharing plan are eligible to receive employer contributions after completion of two years of service. Bank contributions to the profit sharing plan are determined at the discretion of the Board of Directors. Participants are automatically vested 100% in all employer contributions. The Bank contributed $275,000, $105,000 and $120,000 to the profit sharing plan in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.   Additionally, the Bank may elect to make a matching contribution to the participants’ 401(k) plan accounts. The amount to be contributed is announced by the Bank at the beginning of the plan year. For the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, the Bank made a 100% matching contribution on all deferred amounts up to 3% of eligible compensation and a 50% matching contribution on all deferred amounts above 3% to a maximum of 5%. For the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, the Bank made matching contributions totaling $210,000, $188,000 and $157,000, respectively.   Deferred Compensation Plan   The Bank has a nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan which provides directors and a former key executive with an unfunded, deferred compensation program. Under the plan, eligible participants may elect to defer some or all of their current compensation or director fees. Deferred amounts earn interest at an annual rate determined by the Board of Directors (6.25% at December 31, 2005). At December 31, 2005 and 2004, the total net deferrals included in accrued interest payable and other liabilities were $1,285,000 and $1,190,000, respectively.   In connection with the implementation of the above plan, single premium universal life insurance policies on the life of each participant were purchased by the Bank, which is beneficiary and owner of the policies. The cash surrender value of the policies totaled $3,921,000 and $3,801,000 at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The current annual tax-free interest rates on these policies is 5.2%. Income recognized on these policies, net of related expenses, for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003 totaled $120,000, $111,000 and $171,000, respectively.   84        Salary Continuation Plans   The Board of Directors approved salary continuation plans for certain key executives during 2002. Under these plans, the Bank is obligated to provide the executives with annual benefits for fifteen years after retirement. These benefits are substantially equivalent to those available under split-dollar life insurance policies purchased by the Bank on the life of the executives. In addition, the estimated present value of these future benefits are accrued from the effective date of the plans until the executives’ expected retirement date based on a discount rate of 6.25%. The expense recognized under these plans for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003 totaled $332,000, $285,000 and $256,000, respectively. Accrued compensation payable under the salary continuation plan totaled $1,293,000 and $968,000 at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.   In connection with these plans, the Bank purchased single premium life insurance policies with cash surrender values totaling $2,804,000 and $2,274,000 at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Income recognized on these policies, net of related expense, for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003 totaled $90,000, $85,000 and $90,000, respectively.   14.          LOANS TO RELATED PARTIES   During the normal course of business, the Bank enters into loans with related parties, including executive officers and directors. These loans are made with substantially the same terms, including rates and collateral, as loans to unrelated parties. The following is a summary of the aggregate activity involving related party borrowers (in thousands):      Balance,   January 1, 2005       $   420                           Disbursements       212         Amounts   repaid       (185   )                       Balance, December 31,   2005       $   447                           Undisbursed commitments   to related parties, December 31, 2005       $   1,485          15.          COMPREHENSIVE INCOME   Comprehensive income is a more inclusive financial reporting methodology that includes disclosure of other comprehensive income (loss) that historically has not been recognized in the calculation of net income. The Company’s only source of other comprehensive income (loss) is unrealized gains and losses on the Company’s available-for-sale investment securities. Total comprehensive income and the components of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) are presented in the consolidated statement of changes in shareholders’ equity.   85        At December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, the Company held securities classified as available-for-sale which had net unrealized gains or losses as follows:      (In   thousands)       Before   Tax       Tax   (Expense)   Benefit       After   Tax                                           For the Year Ended December 31,   2005                                                                   Other comprehensive   loss:                                 Unrealized   holding losses       $   (1,315   )   $   533       $   (782   )     Less   reclassification adjustment for net gains included in net income       92       (37   )   55                                           Total   other comprehensive loss       $   (1,407   )   $   570       $   (837   )                                       For the Year Ended December 31,   2004                                                                   Other   comprehensive loss:                                 Unrealized   holding losses       $   (607   )   $   133       $   (474   )     Less   reclassification adjustment for net gains included in net income       483       (164   )   319                                           Total   other comprehensive loss       $   (1,090   )   $   297       $   (793   )                                       For the Year Ended December 31,   2003                                                                   Other comprehensive   loss:                                 Unrealized   holding losses       $   (574   )   $   188       $   (386   )     Less   reclassification adjustment for net gains included in net income       506       (157   )   349                                           Total   other comprehensive loss       $   (1,080   )   $   345       $   (735   )      16.          DISCLOSURES ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS   Disclosures include estimated fair values for financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate fair value. These estimates are made at a specific point in time based on relevant market data and information about the financial instruments. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering the Company’s entire holdings of a particular financial instrument for sale at one time, nor do they attempt to estimate the value of anticipated future business related to the instruments. In addition, the tax ramifications related to the realization of unrealized gains and losses can have a significant effect on fair value estimates and have not been considered in any of these estimates.   Because no market exists for a significant portion of the Company’s financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments and other factors. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the fair values presented.   86        The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company to estimate the fair value of its financial instruments at December 31, 2005 and 2004:   Cash and cash equivalents:  For cash and cash equivalents, the carrying amount is estimated to be fair value.   Available-for-sale investment securities and interest-bearing deposits in other banks:  For available-for-sale investment securities and interest-bearing deposits in other banks, fair values are based on quoted market prices, where available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are estimated using quoted market prices for similar securities and deposits and indications of value provided by brokers.   Loans:  For variable-rate loans that reprice frequently with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values. Fair values for other loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using interest rates being offered at each reporting date for loans with similar terms to borrowers of comparable creditworthiness adjusted for the allowance for credit losses. The carrying amount of accrued interest receivable approximates its fair value.   Bank owned life insurance:  The fair value of bank owned life insurance policies is based on cash surrender values at each reporting date as provided by the insurers.   Federal Home Loan Bank stock:  The carrying amount of Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) stock approximates fair value. This investment is carried at cost and is redeemable at par with certain restrictions.   Deposits:  The fair values for demand deposits are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date represented by their carrying amount. Fair values for fixed-rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis using interest rates being offered at each reporting date by the Bank for certificates with similar remaining maturities. The carrying amount of accrued interest payable approximates its fair value.   Short-term borrowings and long-term debt:  The fair values of fixed-rate borrowings are estimated by discounting their future cash flows using rates at each reporting date for similar instruments.   87        Commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit:  Off-balance-sheet commitments to extend credit are primarily for adjustable rate loans. For these commitments, there are no differences between the committed amounts and their fair values. Commitments to fund fixed rate loans and standby letters of credit are at rates which approximate fair value at each reporting date.

ITEM 9A -             CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES   Based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K (as required by paragraph (b) of Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)), the Registrant’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that the Registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms.   ITEM 9b -              OTHER INFORMATION   Not Applicable.   PART III   ITEM 10 -              DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS, PROMOTERS AND CONTROL PERSONS; COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(a) OF THE EXCHANGE ACT.   For information concerning directors and executive officers of the Company, see “ELECTION OF DIRECTORS OF THE COMPANY” in the definitive Proxy Statement for the Company’s 2006 Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be filed pursuant to Regulation 14A (the “Proxy Statement”), which section of the Proxy Statement is incorporated herein by reference.   92        Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance   Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires the Company’s officers and directors, and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of the Company’s equity securities, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the FDIC. Officers, directors and greater than 10% shareholders are required by SEC regulations to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. To the best knowledge of the Company, the only greater than ten-percent holder of the Company’s common stock is Mr. Louis McMurray and his related interests.   Based solely on its review of the copies of such forms received by it, or written representations from certain reporting persons that no Forms 4 and 5 were required for those persons, the Company believes that for the 2005 fiscal year the officers and directors of the Company complied with all applicable filing requirements.
