Note 1. Basis of Presentation

The interim unaudited consolidated financial statements of Central Valley Community Bancorp and subsidiary have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC). These interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Central Valley Community Bancorp and its wholly owned subsidiary Central Valley Community Bank (the Bank) (collectively, the Company). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) have been omitted. The Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s 2012 Annual Report to Shareholders on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position at March 31, 2013 , and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the three month interim periods ended March 31, 2013 and March 31, 2012 have been included. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts to conform to the 2013 presentation. Reclassifications had no effect on prior period net income or shareholders’ equity. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.

The preparation of these consolidated 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 those estimates.

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.

Impact of New Financial Accounting Standards

Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs

Presentation of Comprehensive Income

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-02, Comprehensive Income (“Topic 220”) - Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“ASU 2013-02”). This ASU requires an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. In addition, an entity is required to present, either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income but only if the amount reclassified is required under GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. For other amounts that are not required under GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures required under GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts. ASU 2013-02 is effective prospectively for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The Company adopted this standard on March 31, 2013. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Note 2. Share-Based Compensation

For the three month periods ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 , share-based compensation cost recognized was $25,000 and $50,000 , respectively. The recognized tax benefits for stock option compensation expense were $4,000 and $9,000 , respectively, for the three month periods ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 .

The Company bases the fair value of the options granted on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes Merton option pricing model that uses assumptions based on expected option life and the level of estimated forfeitures, expected stock volatility, risk free interest rate, and dividend yield. The expected term and level of estimated forfeitures of the Company’s options are based on the Company’s own historical experience. Stock volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock. The risk-free rate is based on the U. S. Treasury yield curve for the periods within the contractual life of the

Table of Contents

options in effect at the time of grant. The compensation cost for options granted is based on the weighted average grant date fair value per share.

No options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock were issued in the quarters ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 from either of the Company’s stock based compensation plans.

A summary of the combined activity of the Company’s Stock Based Compensation Plans for the three month period ended March 31, 2013 follows:

	Shares		Weighted Average Exercise Price	Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term (Years)	Aggregate Intrinsic Value (In thousands)
Options outstanding at January 1, 2013	499,289		$ 8.78
Options exercised	(720	)	$ 6.17
Options forfeited	(4,780	)	$ 10.00
Options outstanding at March 31, 2013	493,789		$ 8.77	4.37	$ 499
Options vested or expected to vest at March 31, 2013	486,270		$ 8.79	4.31	$ 316
Options exercisable at March 31, 2013	355,829		$ 9.36	2.68	$ 307

The total intrinsic value of 720 options exercised in the three months ended March 31, 2013 was $2,000 .

Cash received from options exercised for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 was $4,000 and $235,000 , respectively. The actual tax benefit realized for the tax deductions from options exercised totaled $0 and $20,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 , respectively.

As of March 31, 2013 , there was $347,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested share-based compensation arrangements granted under both plans. The cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 3.78 years.

Note 3. 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, stock appreciation rights settled in stock or restricted stock awards, result in the issuance of common stock which shares in the earnings of the Company.

A reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted EPS computations is as follows:

Basic Earnings Per share — (In thousands, except share and per share amounts)	For the Quarter Ended March 31, — 2013		2012
Net Income	$ 1,783		$ 1,713
Less: Preferred stock dividends and accretion	(87	)	(88	)
Income available to common shareholders	$ 1,696		$ 1,625
Weighted average shares outstanding	9,558,985		9,570,297
Basic earnings per share	$ 0.18		$ 0.17

Diluted Earnings Per share — (In thousands, except share and per share amounts)	For the Quarter Ended March 31, — 2013		2012
Net Income	$ 1,783		$ 1,713
Less: Preferred stock dividends and accretion	(87	)	(88	)
Income available to common shareholders	$ 1,696		$ 1,625
Weighted average shares outstanding	9,558,985		9,570,297
Effect of dilutive stock options	45,856		7,135
Weighted average shares of common stock and common stock equivalents	9,604,841		9,577,432
Diluted earnings per share	$ 0.18		$ 0.17

Table of Contents

During the three month periods ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 , options to purchase 305,069 and 436,499 shares of common stock, respectively, were not factored into the calculation of dilutive stock options because they were anti-dilutive.

Note 4. Investments

The investment portfolio consists primarily of U.S. Government sponsored entity and agency securities collateralized by residential mortgage obligations, private label residential mortgage backed securities (PLRMBS), and obligations of states and political subdivisions securities, all of which are classified available-for-sale. As of March 31, 2013 , $92,484,000 of these securities were held as collateral for borrowing arrangements, public funds, and for other purposes.

The fair value of the available-for-sale investment portfolio reflected a net unrealized gain of $10,007,000 at March 31, 2013 compared to an unrealized gain of $12,891,000 at December 31, 2012 .

The following table sets forth the carrying values and estimated fair values of our investment securities portfolio at the dates indicated (in thousands):

We periodically evaluate each investment security for other-than-temporary impairment, relying primarily on industry analyst reports, observation of market conditions and interest rate fluctuations. Under ASC 320-10, the portion of the impairment that is attributable to a shortage in the present value of expected future cash flows relative to the amortized cost should be recorded as a current period charge to earnings. The discount rate in this analysis is the original yield expected at time of purchase.

As of March 31, 2013, the Company performed an analysis of the investment portfolio to determine whether any of the investments held in the portfolio had an other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI). Management evaluated all available-for-sale investment securities with an unrealized loss at March 31, 2013 and identified those that had an unrealized loss for at least a consecutive 12 month period, which had an unrealized loss at March 31, 2013 greater than 10% of the recorded book value on that date, or which had an unrealized loss of more than $10,000. Management also analyzed any securities that may have been downgraded by credit rating agencies. Management retained the services of a third party in March 2013 to provide independent valuation and OTTI analysis on certain private label residential mortgage backed securities (PLRMBS).

The evaluation for PLRMBS includes estimating projected cash flows that the Company is likely to collect based on an assessment of all available information about the applicable security on an individual basis, the structure of the security, and certain assumptions, such as the remaining payment terms for the security, prepayment speeds, default rates, loss severity on the collateral supporting the security based on underlying loan-level borrower and loan characteristics, expected housing price changes, and interest rate assumptions, to determine whether the Company will recover the entire amortized cost basis of the security. In performing a detailed cash flow analysis, the Company identified the best estimate of the cash flows expected to be collected. If this estimate results in a present value of expected cash flows (discounted at the security’s original yield) that is less than the amortized cost basis of the security, an OTTI is considered to have occurred.

The model considers borrower characteristics and the particular attributes of the loans underlying the Company’s securities, in conjunction with assumptions about future changes in home prices and other assumptions, to project prepayments, default rates, and loss severities.

The month-by-month projections of future loan performance are allocated to the various security classes in each securitization structure in accordance with the structure’s prescribed cash flow and loss allocation rules. When the credit enhancement for the senior securities in a securitization is derived from the presence of subordinated securities, losses are allocated first to the subordinated securities until their principal balance is reduced to zero. The projected cash flows are based on a number of assumptions and expectations, and the results of these models can vary significantly with changes in assumptions and expectations. The scenario of cash flows determined based on the model approach described above reflects a best-estimate scenario.

At each quarter end, the Company compares the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected on its PLRMBS to the amortized cost basis of the securities to determine whether a credit loss exists.

The unrealized losses associated with PLRMBS are primarily driven by projected collateral losses, credit spreads, and changes in interest rates. The Company assesses for credit impairment using a discounted cash flow model. The key assumptions include default rates, severities, discount rates and prepayment rates. Losses are estimated by forecasting the performance of the underlying mortgage loans for each security. The forecasted loan performance is used to project cash flows to the various tranches in the structure. Based upon management’s assessment of the expected credit losses of these securities given the performance of the underlying collateral compared with our credit enhancement (which occurs as a result of credit loss protection provided by subordinated tranches), the Company expects to recover the entire amortized cost basis of these securities, with the exception of certain securities for which OTTI was previously recorded.

U.S. Government Agencies

At March 31, 2013 , the Company held five U.S. Government agency securities, of which two were in a loss position for less than 12 months and none were in a loss position nor had been in a loss position for 12 months or more. The unrealized losses on the Company's investments in direct obligations of U.S. government agencies were caused by interest rate changes. The contractual terms of those investments do not permit the issuer to settle the securities at a price less than the amortized costs of the investment. Because the decline in market value is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality, and because the Company has the ability and intent to hold those investments until a recovery of fair value, which may be maturity, the Company does not consider those investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at March 31, 2013 .

Obligations of States and Political Subdivisions

At March 31, 2013 , the Company held 193 obligations of states and political subdivision securities of which 36 were in a loss position for less than 12 months and none were in a loss position nor had been in a loss position for 12 months or more. The unrealized losses on the Company’s investments in obligations of states and political subdivision securities were caused by interest rate changes. Because the decline in market value is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality, and because the Company does not intend to sell, and it is more likely than not that it will not be required to sell those investments until a recovery of fair value, which may be maturity, the Company does not consider those investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at March 31, 2013.

U.S. Government Sponsored Entities and Agencies Collateralized by Residential Mortgage Obligations

At March 31, 2013 , the Company held 179 U.S. Government sponsored entity and agency securities collateralized by residential mortgage obligations of which 33 were in a loss position for less than 12 months and 20 have been in a loss position for more than 12 months. The unrealized losses on the Company’s investments in U.S. Government sponsored entities and agencies collateralized by residential mortgage obligations were caused by interest rate changes. The contractual cash flows of those investments are guaranteed by an agency or sponsored entity of the U.S. Government. Accordingly, it is expected that the securities would not be settled at a price less than the amortized cost of the Company’s investment. Because the decline in market value is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality, and because the Company does not intend to sell, and it is more likely than not that it will not be required to sell those investments until a recovery of fair value, which may be maturity, the Company does not consider those investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at March 31, 2013 .

Private Label Residential Mortgage Backed Securities

At March 31, 2013 , the Company had a total of 22 PLRMBS with a remaining principal balance of $5,707,000 and a net unrealized gain of approximately $550,000 . Four of these securities account for $68,000 of unrealized loss at March 31, 2013 offset by 18 of these securities with gains totaling $618,000 . Seven of these PLRMBS with a remaining principal balance of $4,370,000 had credit ratings below investment grade. The Company continues to perform extensive analyses on these

Note 5. Fair Value Measurements

Table of Contents

Fair Value Hierarchy

Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. In accordance with applicable guidance, the Company groups its assets and liabilities measured at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value. Valuations within these levels are based upon:

Level 1 — Quoted market prices (unadjusted) for identical instruments traded in active exchange markets that the Company has the ability to access as of the measurement date.

Level 2 — Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3 — Model-based techniques that use at least one significant assumption not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect the Company’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use on pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques include management judgment and estimation which may be significant.

Management monitors the availability of observable market data to assess the appropriate classification of financial instruments within the fair value hierarchy. Changes in economic conditions or model-based valuation techniques may require the transfer of financial instruments from one fair value level to another. In such instances, we report the transfer at the beginning of the reporting period.

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.

These estimates are made at a specific point in time based on relevant market data and information about the financial instruments. 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.

The methods and assumptions used to estimate fair values are described as follows:

(a) Cash and Cash Equivalents — The carrying amounts of cash and due from banks, interest-earning deposits in other banks, and Federal funds sold approximate fair values and are classified as Level 1.

(b) Available-for-Sale Investment Securities — Available-for-sale investment securities in Level 1 are mutual funds and fair values are based on quoted market prices for identical instruments traded in active markets. Fair values for available-for-sale investment securities classified in Level 2 are based on quoted market prices for similar securities in active markets. For securities where quoted prices or market prices of similar securities are not available, fair values are calculated using discounted cash flows or other market indicators.

(c) Loans — Fair values of loans are estimated as follows: For variable rate loans that reprice frequently and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values resulting in a Level 3 classification. Fair values for other loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality resulting in a Level 3 classification. Impaired loans are initially valued at the lower of cost or fair value. Impaired loans carried at fair value generally receive specific allocations of the allowance for loan losses. For collateral dependent loans, fair value is commonly based on recent real estate appraisals. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments are usually significant and typically result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value. Non-real estate collateral may be valued using an appraisal, net book value per the borrower’s financial statements, or aging reports, adjusted or discounted based on management's historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of the valuation, and management’s expertise and knowledge of the client and client’s business, resulting in a Level 3 fair value classification. Impaired loans are evaluated on a quarterly basis for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly. The methods utilized to estimate the fair value of loans do not necessarily represent an exit price.

(d) FHLB Stock — It is not practicable to determine the fair value of FHLB stock due to restrictions placed on its transferability.

Table of Contents

(e) Deposits — Fair value of demand deposit, savings, and money market accounts are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e., their carrying amount) resulting resulting in a Level 1 classification. Fair value for fixed and variable rate certificates of deposit are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses using interest rates offered at each reporting date by the Company for certificates with similar remaining maturities resulting in a Level 2 classification.

(f) Short-Term Borrowings — The carrying amounts of federal funds purchased, borrowings under repurchase agreements, and other short-term borrowings, generally maturing within ninety days, approximate their fair values resulting in a Level 2 classification.

(g) Other Borrowings — The fair values of the Company’s long-term borrowings are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on the current borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements resulting in a Level 2 classification.

The fair values of the Company’s Subordinated Debentures are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on the current borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements resulting in a Level 3 classification.

(h) Accrued Interest Receivable/Payable — The fair value of accrued interest receivable and payable is based on the fair value hierarchy of the related asset or liability.

(i) Off-Balance Sheet Instruments — Fair values for off-balance sheet, credit-related financial instruments are based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties’ credit standing. The fair value of commitments is not material.

Securities in Level 1 are mutual funds and fair values are based on quoted market prices for identical instruments traded in active markets. Fair values for available-for-sale investment securities in Level 2 are based on quoted market prices for similar securities in active markets. For securities where quoted prices or market prices of similar securities are not available, fair values are calculated using discounted cash flows or other market indicators.

Management evaluates the significance of transfers between levels based upon the nature of the financial instrument and size of the transfer relative to total assets, total liabilities or total earnings. During the three months ended March 31, 2013 , no transfers between levels occurred.

There were no Level 3 assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis at March 31, 2013 . Also there were no liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at March 31, 2013 .

Non-recurring Basis

Table of Contents

The Company may be required, from time to time, to measure certain assets and liabilities at fair value on a non-recurring basis. These include assets and liabilities that are measured at the lower of cost or fair value that were recognized at fair value which was below cost. There were no assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis at March 31, 2013 . The impaired loans measured at fair value at December 31, 2012 are no longer recorded at fair value due to the impaired loans not having a specific reserve and any charge-offs. Impaired loans evaluated under the discounted cash flow method are excluded from assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. The discounted cash flow methods as prescribed by topic is not a fair value measurement since the discount rate utilized is the loan's effective interest rate which is not a market rate. There were no changes in valuation techniques used during the three month period ended March 31, 2013 .

At the time a loan is considered impaired, it is valued at the lower of cost or fair value. Impaired loans carried at fair value generally receive specific allocations of the allowance for loan losses. For collateral dependent loans, fair value is commonly based on recent real estate appraisals. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments are usually significant and typically result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value. Non-real estate collateral may be valued using an appraisal, net book value per the borrower’s financial statements, or aging reports, adjusted or discounted based on management’s historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of the valuation, and management’s expertise and knowledge of the client and client’s business, resulting in a Level 3 fair value classification. The fair value of impaired loans is based on the fair value of the collateral. Impaired loans were determined to be collateral dependent and categorized as Level 3 due to ongoing real estate market conditions resulting in inactive market data, which in turn required the use of unobservable inputs and assumptions in fair value measurements. Impaired loans were determined to be collateral dependent and categorized as Level 3 due to ongoing real estate market conditions resulting in inactive market data, which in turn required the use of unobservable inputs and assumptions in fair value measurements. Impaired loans evaluated under the discounted cash flow method are excluded from the table above. The discounted cash flow method as prescribed by topic 310 is not a fair value measurement since the discount rate utilized is the loan’s effective interest rate which is not a market rate. There were no changes in valuation techniques used during the year ended December 31, 2012

Appraisals for collateral-dependent impaired loans are performed by certified general appraisers (for commercial properties) or certified residential appraisers (for residential properties) whose qualifications and licenses have been reviewed and verified by the Company. Once received, the assumptions and approaches utilized in the appraisal as well as the overall resulting fair value is compared with independent data sources such as recent market data or industry-wide statistics.

Impaired loans that are measured for impairment using the fair value of the collateral for collateral dependent loans, had a principal balance of $5,386,000 with a valuation allowance of $96,000 at December 31, 2012 , resulting in an additional provision for loans losses of $19,000 for the year ended December 31, 2012 . down to their fair value of $5,290,000 , resulting in a valuation allowance of $510,000 . The valuation allowance represents specific allocations for the allowance for credit losses for impaired loans.

Note 7. Allowance for Credit Losses

The allowance for credit losses is an estimate of probable credit losses inherent in the Company’s loan portfolio that have been incurred as of the balance-sheet date. The 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. Credit exposures determined to be uncollectible are charged against the allowance. Cash received on previously charged off amounts is recorded as a recovery to the allowance. The allowance consists of two primary components, specific reserves related to impaired loans and general reserves for inherent losses related to loans that are not impaired.

For all portfolio segments, the determination of the general reserve for loans that are not impaired is based on estimates made by management, including but not limited to, consideration of historical losses by portfolio segment over the most recent 20 quarters, and qualitative factors including economic trends in the Company’s service areas, industry experience and trends, geographic concentrations, estimated collateral values, the Company's underwriting policies, the character of the loan portfolio, and probable losses inherent in the portfolio taken as a whole. During the quarter ended March 31, 2013 , management determined that the most recent 20 quarters was an appropriate look back period based on several factors including the current global economic uncertainty and various national and local economic indicators. Moving from a 16 quarter rolling average to a 20 quarter rolling average, did not have a material impact on the level of allowance required, but it did ensure that the significant loss years for the bank would continue to be factored into the general reserve analysis. Management determined that it was necessary to expand the look back period to capture enough data due to the size of the portfolio to produce statistically accurate historical loss calculations. We believe this period is an appropriate look back period.

The following table shows the summary of activities for allowance for credit losses as of and for the three month periods ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 by portfolio segment (in thousands):

Foregone interest on nonaccrual loans totaled $176,000 and $178,000 for the three month periods ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 , respectively.

Troubled Debt Restructurings:

As of March 31, 2013 and 2012 , the Company has a recorded investment in troubled debt restructurings of $ 15,741,000 and $17,764,000 , respectively. The Company has allocated $ 605,000 of specific reserves to loans whose terms have been modified

Table of Contents

in troubled debt restructurings as of March 31, 2013 . The Company has committed to lend additional amounts totaling up to $550,000 as of March 31, 2013 to customers with outstanding loans that are classified as troubled debt restructurings.

During the three month periods ending March 31, 2013 and 2012 , no loans were modified as troubled debt restructurings.

A loan is considered to be in payment default once it is 90 days contractually past due under the modified terms. There were no defaults on troubled debt restructurings, within twelve months following the modification, during the three months ended March 31, 2013 and March 31, 2012 .

Note 8. Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Business combinations involving the Company’s acquisition of the equity interests or net assets of another enterprise give rise to goodwill. Total goodwill at March 31, 2013 was $23,577,000 consisting of $14,643,000 and $8,934,000 representing the excess of the cost of Service 1 st Bancorp and Bank of Madera County, respectively, over the net amounts assigned to assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the 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 acquisitions and is not deductible for tax purposes. 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 at least annually for impairment.

The Company has selected September 30 as the date to perform the annual impairment test. Management assessed qualitative factors including performance trends and noted no factors indicating goodwill impairment.

Goodwill is also tested for impairment between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the Company below its carrying amount. No such events or circumstances arose during the first three months of 2013 .

The intangible assets at March 31, 2013 represent the estimated fair value of the core deposit relationships acquired in the acquisition of Service 1 st Bancorp in 2008 of $1,400,000 and the 2005 acquisition of Bank of Madera County of $1,500,000 . Core deposit intangibles are being amortized by the straight-line method (which approximates the effective interest method) over an estimated life of seven years from the date of acquisition. The carrying value of intangible assets at March 31, 2013 was $533,000 net of $2,367,000 in accumulated amortization expense. Management evaluates the remaining useful lives quarterly to determine whether events or circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining periods of amortization. Based on the evaluation, no changes to the remaining useful lives was required in the first quarter of 2013 . Management performed an annual impairment test on core deposit intangibles as of September 30, 2012 and determined no impairment was necessary. Amortization expense recognized was $50,000 and $50,000 for the three month periods ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 , respectively.

Note 9. Commitments and Contingencies

In the normal course of business, the Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk. These financial instruments include 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 in the balance sheets. The contract or notional amounts of these instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Company has in particular classes of financial instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for loans.

Commitments to extend credit amounting to $148,950,000 and $162,851,000 were outstanding at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 , respectively. Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract unless waived by the bank. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee.

Included in commitments to extend credit are undisbursed lines of credit totaling $148,685,000 and $162,261,000 at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 , respectively. Undisbursed lines of credit are revolving lines of credit whereby customers can repay principal and request principal advances during the term of the loan at their discretion and most expire between one and 12 months.

The Company has undisbursed portions of construction loans totaling $7,198,000 and $6,834,000 as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 , respectively. These commitments are agreements to lend to a customer, subject to meeting certain construction progress requirements established in the contract. The underlying construction loans have fixed expiration dates.

Standby letters of credit and financial guarantees amounting to $265,000 and $590,000 were outstanding at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 , respectively. Standby letters of credit and financial guarantees are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support private borrowing arrangements. Most standby letters of credit and guarantees carry a one year term or less. The fair value of the liability related to these standby letters of credit, which represents the fees received for their issuance, was not

Table of Contents

significant at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 . The Company recognizes these fees as revenue over the term of the commitment or when the commitment is used.

The Company generally requires collateral or other security to support financial instruments with credit risk. Management does not anticipate any material loss will result from the outstanding commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit and financial guarantees. At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 , the balance of a contingent allocation for probable loan loss experience on unfunded obligations was $110,000 . The contingent allocation for probable loan loss experience on unfunded obligations is calculated by management using an appropriate, systematic, and consistently applied process. While related to credit losses, this allocation is not a part of the ALLL and is considered separately as a liability for accounting and regulatory reporting purposes.

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.

Note 10. 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 bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment. On the consolidated balance sheets, net deferred tax assets are included in accrued interest receivable and other assets. The Company establishes a tax valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that a recorded tax benefit is not expected to be fully realized. The expense to create the tax valuation allowance is recorded as an additional income tax expense in the period the tax valuation allowance is created. Based on management’s analysis as of March 31, 2013 , the Company maintained a deferred tax valuation allowance of $110,000 related to California capital loss carryforwards.

Accounting for uncertainty in income taxes - The benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above is reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying balance sheet along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of tax expense in the consolidated statements of income. During the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 , the Company increased its reserve by $15,000 and $14,000 , respectively, for uncertain tax positions attributable to tax credits and deductions related to enterprise zone activities in California. The Company does not expect the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits to significantly increase or decrease in the next twelve months.

Note 11. Borrowing Arrangements

As of March 31, 2013 , the Company had no Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) of San Francisco advances. At December 31, 2012 , the Company held $4,000,000 in short term FHLB advances with a rate of 3.59% and a maturity date of February 12, 2013 .

FHLB advances are secured by investment securities with amortized costs totaling $6,190,000 and $4,016,000 , and market values totaling $6,410,000 and $4,225,000 at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 , respectively. The Bank’s credit limit varies according to the amount and composition of the investment and loan portfolios pledged as collateral.

As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 , the Company had no Federal funds purchased.

The transaction, which is expected to close in the second quarter of 2013, is subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals and approval by Visalia Community Bank’s shareholders.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

Critical accounting policies are defined as those that are reflective of significant judgments and uncertainties, and could potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. We believe that the Company’s most critical accounting policies are those which the Company’s financial condition depends upon, and which involve the most complex or subjective decisions or assessments.

There have been no material changes to the Company’s critical accounting policies during 2013 . Please refer to the Company’s 2012 Annual Report to Shareholders on Form 10-K for a complete listing of critical accounting policies.

This discussion should be read in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, appearing elsewhere in this report.

Our net interest margin (fully tax equivalent basis) for the first three months ended March 31, 2013 was 3.85% compared to 4.37% for the same period in 2012 . The margin decrease d principally due to the decrease in yields on interest-earning assets outpacing the decrease in rates on interest-bearing liabilities. The effective yield on interest earning assets decrease d 64 basis points to 4.02% for the three month period ended March 31, 2013 compared to 4.66% for the same period in 2012 . The decrease in higher-yielding loans, combined with the increase in lower-yielding investments contributed to the decrease in the Company’s net interest margin. For the three months ended March 31, 2013 , the effective yield on investment securities including Federal funds sold and interest-earning deposits in other banks decrease d 62 basis points, while the effective yield on loans decrease d 33 basis points. The cost of total interest-bearing liabilities decrease d 17 basis points to 0.26% compared to 0.43% for the same period in 2012 . The cost of total deposits, including noninterest bearing accounts, decrease d 11 basis points to 0.16% for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to 0.27% for the same period in 2012 .

Net interest income before the provision for credit losses for the first quarter of 2013 was $6,845,000 compared to $7,666,000 for the same period in 2012 , a decrease of $821,000 or 10.71% . Net interest income before the provision for credit losses decrease d as a result of the decrease in interest income. The Bank had non-accrual loans totaling $11,015,000 at March 31, 2013 , compared to $9,695,000 at December 31, 2012 and $10,142,000 at March 31, 2012 . The Company had no other real estate owned at March 31, 2013 or December 31, 2012 , compared to $2,253,000 at March 31, 2012 .

At March 31, 2013 , we had total net loans of $381,476,000 , total assets of $886,359,000 , total deposits of $736,759,000 , and shareholders’ equity of $117,215,000 .

Key Factors in Evaluating Financial Condition and Operating Performance

As a publicly traded community bank holding company, we focus on several key factors including:

· Return to our shareholders;

· Return on average assets;

· Development of revenue streams, including net interest income and non-interest income;

· Asset quality;

· Asset growth;

· Capital adequacy;

· Operating efficiency; and

· Liquidity

Return to Our Shareholders

Our return to our shareholders is measured in a ratio that measures the return on average equity (ROE). Our annualized ROE was 6.07% for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to 6.56% for the year ended December 31, 2012 and 6.19% for the three months ended March 31, 2012 . Our net income for the three months ended March 31, 2013 increase d $70,000 or 4.09% to $1,783,000 compared to $1,713,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 . Net income increase d due to a decrease in interest expense and a decrease in the provision for credit losses, partially offset by a decrease in interest income, increase s in non-interest expenses, and an increase in tax expense. Net interest margin (NIM) decrease d 52 basis points comparing the three month periods ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 . Diluted EPS was $0.18 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and $0.17 for the same period in 2012 .

Return on Average Assets

Our return on average assets (ROA) is a ratio that we use to measure our performance compared with other banks and bank holding companies. Our annualized ROA for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was 0.82% compared to 0.88% for the year ended December 31, 2012 and 0.82% for the three months ended March 31, 2012 . The decrease in ROA compared to December 2012 is due to the decrease in net income relative to total average assets. Average assets for the three months ended March 31, 2013 were $870,418,000 compared to $853,078,000 for the year ended December 31, 2012 . ROA for our peer group was 0.85% for the year ended December 31, 2012. Our peer group from SNL Financial data includes certain bank holding companies in central California with assets from $300 million to $2 billion that are not subchapter S corporations.

Development of Revenue Streams

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, and minimizing the effects of the recent interest rate decline on our net interest margin by focusing on core deposits and managing the cost of funds. The Company’s net interest margin (fully tax equivalent basis) was 3.85% for the three months ended March 31, 2013 , compared to 4.37% for the same period in 2012 . The decrease in net interest margin is principally due to a decrease in the yield on earning assets which was greater than the decrease in our rates on interest-bearing liabilities. The decrease in higher-yielding loans, combined with the increase in lower-yielding investments contributed to the decrease in the Company’s net interest margin. In comparing the two periods, the effective yield on total earning assets decrease d 64 basis points, while the cost of total interest bearing liabilities decrease d 17 basis points and the cost of total deposits decrease d 11 basis points. The Company’s total cost of deposits for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was 0.16% compared to 0.27% for the same period in 2012 . At March 31, 2013 , 30.69% of the Company’s average deposits

Table of Contents

were non-interest bearing compared to 33.54% for the Company’s peer group as of December 31, 2012. Net interest income before the provision for credit losses for the three month period ended March 31, 2013 was $6,845,000 compared to $7,666,000 for the same period in 2012 .

Our non-interest income is generally made up of service charges and fees on deposit accounts, fee income from loan placements and other services, and gains from sales of investment securities. Non-interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2013 increase d $566,000 or 34.10% , to $2,226,000 compared to $1,660,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 . The increase resulted primarily from an increase in net realized gains on sales and calls of investment securities and an increase in loan placement fees compared to the comparable 2012 period. Further detail of 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 non-performing assets as a percentage of total assets, and is a key element in estimating the future earnings of a company. Nonperforming assets consist of nonperforming loans, other real estate owned (OREO), and repossessed assets. Nonperforming loans are those loans which have (i) been placed on nonaccrual status; (ii) been classified as doubtful under our asset classification system; or (iii) become contractually past due 90 days or more with respect to principal or interest and have not been restructured or otherwise placed on nonaccrual status. A loan is classified as nonaccrual 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.

The Company had non-performing loans totaling $11,015,000 or 2.82% of total loans as of March 31, 2013 and $9,695,000 or 2.45% of total loans at December 31, 2012 . 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 and collectibility has been reasonably assured. The Company had no other real estate owned at March 31, 2013 or December 31, 2012 . The Company’s ratio of non-performing assets as a percentage of total assets was 1.24% as of March 31, 2013 and 1.09% at December 31, 2012 .

Asset Growth

As revenues from both net interest income and non-interest income are a function of asset size, the 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 decrease d by $3,869,000 or 0.43% during the three months months ended March 31, 2013 to $886,359,000 compared to $890,228,000 as of December 31, 2012 . Total gross loans decrease d $4,353,000 to $390,965,000 as of March 31, 2013 compared to $395,318,000 as of December 31, 2012 . Total deposits decrease d 1.95% to $736,759,000 as of March 31, 2013 compared to $751,432,000 as of December 31, 2012 . Our loan to deposit ratio at March 31, 2013 was 53.07% compared to 52.61% at December 31, 2012 . The loan to deposit ratio of our peers was 69.33% at December 31, 2012. Further discussion of loans and deposits is below.

Capital Adequacy

Capital serves as a source of funds and helps protect depositors and shareholders against potential losses. The Company has historically maintained substantial levels of capital. The assessment of capital adequacy is dependent on several factors including asset quality, earnings trends, liquidity and economic conditions. Maintenance of adequate capital levels is integral to providing stability to the Company. The Company needs to maintain substantial levels of regulatory capital to give it maximum flexibility in the changing regulatory environment and to respond to changes in the market and economic conditions including acquisition opportunities.

The Company and the Bank are each subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can cause certain mandatory and discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a material effect on our financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative and qualitative measures. These measures were established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy. As of March 31, 2013 , the Company and the Bank were “well capitalized” under this regulatory framework. The Company’s regulatory capital ratios are presented in the table in the "Capital" section below.

Operating Efficiency

Operating efficiency is the measure of how efficiently earnings before provision for credit losses and taxes are generated as a percentage of revenue. A lower ratio is more favorable. The Company’s efficiency ratio (operating expenses, excluding amortization of intangibles and foreclosed property expense, divided by net interest income before provision for credit losses plus non-interest income, excluding gains from sales of securities and OREO) was 83.35% for the first three months of 2013 compared to 75.81% for the first three months of 2012 . The deterioration in the efficiency ratio is primarily due to a decrease in net interest income. Further discussion of the decrease in net interest income and increase in operating expenses is below.

The Company’s net interest income before provision for credit losses plus non-interest income, net of OREO related gain and investment securities related gains (losses), decrease d 8.03% to $8,258,000 for the first three months of 2013 compared to $8,979,000 for the same period in 2012 , while operating expenses, net of OREO related expenses, loss on sale of assets and amortization of core deposit intangibles, increase d 1.12% to $6,883,000 from $6,807,000 for the same period in 2012 .

Liquidity

Liquidity management involves our ability to meet cash flow requirements arising from fluctuations in deposit levels and demands of daily operations, which include providing for customers’ credit needs, funding of securities purchases, and ongoing repayment of borrowings. Our liquidity is actively managed on a daily basis and reviewed periodically by our management and Directors’ Asset/Liability Committee. This process is intended to ensure the maintenance of sufficient liquidity to meet our funding 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 (FHLB). We have available unsecured lines of credit with correspondent banks totaling approximately $40,000,000 and secured borrowing lines of approximately $222,374,000 with the FHLB. These funding sources are augmented by collection of principal and interest on loans, the routine maturities and pay downs of securities from our investment securities portfolio, the stability of our core deposits, and the ability to sell investment securities. Primary uses of funds include origination and purchases of loans, withdrawals of and interest payments on deposits, purchases of investment securities, and payment of operating expenses.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net Income for the First Three Months Ended March 31, 2013 Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2012 :

Net income increase d to $1,783,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to $1,713,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 . Basic and diluted earnings per share for March 31, 2013 were $0.18 . Basic and diluted earnings per share for the same period in 2012 were $0.17 . Annualized ROE was 6.07% for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to 6.19% for the three months ended March 31, 2012 . Annualized ROA for the three month periods ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 was 0.82% .

The increase in net income for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012 can be attributed to a decrease in interest expense and an increase in non-interest income, partially offset by a decrease in interest income, an increase in non-interest expense and an increase in income tax expense. The increase in non-interest income is primarily due to increase d net gains on sales and calls of investment securities and increase d loan placement fees. Non-interest expenses increase d due to a increase in legal fees, advertising, data processing expenses, audit and accounting fees and occupancy and equipment, partially offset by decreases in salaries and employee benefits. Further discussion of non-interest expenses is below.

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.

Interest and fee income from loans decrease d $673,000 or 11.06% for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012 . Average total loans, including non-accrual loans, for the three months ended March 31, 2013 decrease d $ 22,007,000 or 5.33% to $390,673,000 compared to $ 412,680,000 for the same period in 2012 . The yield on average loans decrease d 33 basis points to 5.77% for the three months ended 2013 compared to 6.10% for the same period in 2012 . We have been successful in implementing interest rate floors on many of our adjustable rate loans to partially offset the effects of the historically low prime interest rate experienced over the last two years. The loan floors will cause net interest margin pressure in certain rising interest rate scenarios. We are committed to providing our customers with competitive pricing without sacrificing strong asset quality and value to our shareholders.

Interest income from total investments on a non tax-equivalent basis (total investments include investment securities, Federal funds sold, interest bearing deposits with other banks, and other securities) decrease d $359,000 in the first three months of 2013 to $1,769,000 compared to $2,128,000 , for the same period in 2012 . The yield on average investments decrease d 62 basis points to 2.45% for the three month period ended March 31, 2013 compared to 3.07% for the same period in 2012 . The increase of the balance of the investment portfolio from loan payoff and increases in deposits at significantly reduced yields decrease d net interest income and contributed to the decrease in net interest margin. Average total investments for the first three months of 2013 increase d $54,066,000 or 15.58% to $401,016,000 compared to $346,950,000 for the same period in 2012 . Income from investments represents 25.84% of net interest income for the first three months of 2013 compared to 27.76% for the same period in 2012 .

In an effort to increase yields, without accepting unreasonable risk, a significant portion of the investment purchases have been in residential mortgage-backed securities (MBS) and collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs). At March 31, 2013 , we held $187,257,000 or 50.89% of the total fair value of the investment portfolio in MBS and CMOs with an average yield of 0.68% . We invest in CMOs and MBS as part of our overall strategy to increase our net interest margin. CMOs and MBS by their nature react to changes in interest rates. In a normal 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 normally would be expected to decline and the average life of the MBS and CMOs would be expected to extend. However, in the current economic environment, prepayments may not behave according to historical norms. Premium amortization and discount accretion of these investments affects our net interest income. Our management monitors the prepayment speed of these investments and adjusts premium amortization and discount accretion 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, the 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 and discount accretion is by nature inexact, and represents management’s best estimate of principal pay downs inherent in the total investment portfolio.

The net-of-tax unrealized gain on the available-for-sale investment portfolio was $5,889,000 at March 31, 2013 and is reflected in the Company’s equity. At March 31, 2013 , the average life of the investment portfolio was 5.43 years and the fair value of the portfolio reflected a pre-tax gain of $10,007,000 . Management reviews fair value declines on individual investment securities to determine whether they represent an other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI). For the three months ended March 31, 2013 no OTTI was recorded. Refer to Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) for more detail. Future deterioration in the market values of our investment securities may require the Company to recognize future OTTI losses.

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 March 31, 2013 , an immediate rate increase of 200 basis points would result in an estimated decrease in the market value of the investment portfolio by approximately $29,714,000 . Conversely, with an immediate rate decrease of 200 basis points, the estimated increase in the market value of the investment portfolio would be $16,539,000 . The modeling environment assumes management would take no action during an immediate shock of 200 basis points. 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 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, concentration guidelines, prohibited investments, impairment, and prohibited practices.

Total interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2013 decrease d $1,032,000 or 12.57% to $7,180,000 compared to $8,212,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 . The decrease was due to the 64 basis point decrease in the yield on average interest earning assets. The yield on interest earning assets decrease d to 4.02% on a fully tax equivalent basis for the

Table of Contents

three months ended March 31, 2013 from 4.66% for the three months ended March 31, 2012 , primarily due to the decrease in yields on investments and loans. Average interest earning assets increase d to $784,941,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to $750,975,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 . The $33,966,000 increase in average earning assets can be attributed to the $54,066,000 increase in average investments offset by a $21,057,000 decrease in average loans.

Interest expense on deposits for the three months ended March 31, 2013 decrease d $188,000 or 39.09% to $293,000 compared to $481,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 . This decrease in interest expense was primarily due to repricing of interest bearing deposits which decrease d 16 basis points to 0.23% for the three months ended March 31, 2013 from 0.39% in 2012 as a result of the ongoing low interest rate environment. Average interest-bearing deposits increase d 2.19% or $10,943,000 to $509,914,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to $498,971,000 for the same period ended March 31, 2012 .

Average other borrowed funds decrease d $2,084,000 or 22.76% to $7,071,000 with an effective rate of 2.41% for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to $9,155,000 with an effective rate of 2.86% for the three months ended March 31, 2012 . As a result, total interest expense on other borrowed funds decrease d $23,000 to $42,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 from $65,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 . Other borrowings include advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) and junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures. The FHLB advances are fixed rate short-term borrowings. The effective rate of the FHLB advances was 3.59% for the three month periods ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 . Advances were utilized as part of a leveraged strategy in the first quarter of 2008 to purchase investment securities. Borrowings have matured and have not been replaced due to the influx of deposits. The debentures were acquired in the merger with Service 1st and carry a floating rate based on the three month LIBOR plus a margin of 1.60%. The rates were 1.90% and 2.17% at March 31, 2013 and 2012 , respectively. See the section on Financial Condition for more detail.

The cost of our interest-bearing liabilities decrease d 17 basis points to 0.26% for the three month period ended March 31, 2013 compared to 0.43% for 2012 , while the cost of total deposits decrease d to 0.16% for the three month period ended March 31, 2013 compared to 0.27% for same period in 2012 . Average non-interest bearing demand deposits increase d 9.86% to $225,814,000 in 2013 compared to $205,548,000 for 2012 . The ratio of average non-interest bearing demand deposits to average total deposits increased to 30.69% in the three month period of 2013 compared to 29.18% for the same period in 2012 .

Net Interest Income before Provision for Credit Losses

Net interest income before provision for credit losses for the three months ended March 31, 2013 decrease d by $821,000 or 10.71% to $6,845,000 compared to $7,666,000 for the same period in 2012 . The decrease was due to the 64 basis point decrease in the average rate on earning assets partially offset by a 16 basis point decrease in the average interest rate on deposits. Average interest earning assets were $784,941,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 with a net interest margin (fully tax equivalent basis) of 3.85% compared to $750,975,000 with a net interest margin (fully tax equivalent basis) of 4.37% for the three months ended March 31, 2012 . The $33,966,000 increase in average earning assets can be attributed to the $54,066,000 increase in total investments partially offset by a $21,057,000 decrease in average loans. Average interest bearing liabilities increase d 1.74% to $516,985,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 , compared to $508,126,000 for the same period in 2012 . For the three months ended March 31, 2013 , the effective yield on investment securities including Federal funds sold and interest-earning deposits in other banks decrease d 62 basis points, while the effective yield on loans decrease d 33 basis points.

Provision for Credit Losses

We provide for probable incurred credit losses by a charge to operating income based upon the composition of the loan portfolio, delinquency levels, losses and nonperforming assets, economic and environmental conditions and other factors which, in management’s judgment, 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 gives final approval. The CCA is not involved in loan originations. The risk grading and reserve allocation is analyzed quarterly by the CCA and the Board and at least 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 the utilization of loan delinquency reports, classified asset reports, and portfolio concentration reports to assist in accurately assessing credit risk and

Table of Contents

establishing appropriate reserves. Reserves are also allocated to credits that are not impaired based on inherent risk in those loans.

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 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 judgment, 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)	March 31, 2013	% of Total Loans	December 31, 2012	% of Total Loans
Commercial and industrial	$ 1,761	19.3 %	$ 2,071	19.7 %
Agricultural land and production	500	6.6 %	605	6.7 %
Real estate:
Owner occupied	2,005	26.6 %	2,153	28.9 %
Real estate construction and other land loans	1,044	8.3 %	1,035	8.4 %
Commercial real estate	1,595	16.5 %	1,886	13.6 %
Agricultural real estate	582	8.1 %	646	7.2 %
Other real estate	310	2.5 %	157	2.0 %
Total real estate	5,536	62.0 %	5,877	60.1 %
Equity loans and lines of credit	997	10.1 %	1,158	10.9 %
Consumer and installment	318	2.0 %	383	2.6 %
Unallocated reserves	377		39
Total allowance for credit losses	$ 9,489		$ 10,133

Loans are charged to the allowance for credit losses when the loans are deemed uncollectible. It is the policy of management to make additions to the allowance so that it remains adequate to cover all probable loan charge-offs that exist in the portfolio at that time. We assign qualitative and environmental factors (Q factors) to each loan category. Q factors include reserves held for the effects of lending policies, economic trends, and portfolio trends along with other dynamics which may cause additional stress to the portfolio.

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.

There were no additions made to the allowance for credit losses in the first three months of 2013 , compared to $400,000 for the same period in 2012 . These provisions are primarily the result of our assessment of the overall adequacy of the allowance for credit losses considering a number of factors as discussed in the “Allowance for Credit Losses” section below. During the three months ended March 31, 2013 , the Company had net charge offs totaling $644,000 compared to $1,511,000 for the same period in 2012 . The charged off loans were previously classified and sufficient funds were held in the allowance for credit losses as of December 31, 2012 .

Nonperforming loans were $11,015,000 and $9,695,000 at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 , respectively, and $10,142,000 at March 31, 2012 . Nonperforming loans as a percentage of total loans were 2.82% at March 31, 2013 compared to 2.45% at December 31, 2012 and 2.48% at March 31, 2012 .

The annualized net charge off ratio, which reflects net charge-offs to average loans was 0.66% for the three months ended March 31, 2013 , and 1.46% for the same period in 2012 . The annual net charge off ratios for 2012 , 2011 , and 2010 were 0.49% , 0.16% and 0.66% , respectively.

We anticipate weakness in economic conditions on national, state and local levels to continue. Continued economic pressures may negatively impact the financial condition of borrowers to whom the Company has extended credit and as a result we may be required to make further significant provisions to the allowance for credit losses in the future. We have been and will continue to be proactive in looking for signs of deterioration within the loan portfolio in an effort to manage credit quality and work with borrowers where possible to mitigate any further losses.

As of March 31, 2013 , we believe, based on all current and available information, the allowance for credit losses is adequate to absorb probable incurred losses within the loan 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.

Net Interest Income after Provision for Credit Losses

Net interest income, after the provision for credit losses, was $6,845,000 for the three months period ended March 31, 2013 and $7,266,000 for the same period in 2012 .

Non-Interest Income

Non-interest income is comprised of customer service charges, loan placement fees, net gains on sales and calls of investment securities, appreciation in cash surrender value of bank owned life insurance, Federal Home Loan Bank dividends, and other income. Non-interest income was $2,226,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to $1,660,000 for the same period in 2012 . The $566,000 or 34.10% increase in non-interest income was primarily due to a $466,000 increase in net realized gains on sales and calls of investment securities, a $37,000 increase in loan placement fees, and an increase in customer service charges of $9,000 .

During the three months ended March 31, 2013 , we realized a net gain on sales and calls of investment securities of $813,000 compared to $347,000 for the same period in 2012 . The net gain realized on sales and calls of investment securities was the result of a partial restructuring of the investment portfolio designed to improve the future performance of the portfolio.

Customer service charges increase d $9,000 or 1.31% to $698,000 for the first three months of 2013 compared to $689,000 for the same period in 2012 . Loan placement fees increase d $37,000 or 28.91% to $165,000 for the first three months of 2013 compared to $128,000 for the same period in 2012 , primarily due to an increase in mortgage refinances.

The Bank holds stock from the Federal Home Loan Bank in conjunction with our borrowing capacity and generally earns quarterly dividends. We currently hold $3,850,000 in FHLB stock. We received dividends totaling $22,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2013 , compared to $4,000 for the same period in 2012 .

Non-Interest Expenses

Salaries and employee benefits, occupancy and equipment, regulatory assessments, professional services, other real estate owned expense, and data processing are the major categories of non-interest expenses. Non-interest expenses increase d $13,000 or 0.19% to $6,933,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 , compared to $6,920,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 . The increase in 2013 was primarily due to a increase in occupancy and equipment expenses of $20,000 , advertising fees of $2,000 , legal fees of $3,000 and other non-interest expenses of $97,000 partially offset by an decrease in salaries and employee benefits of $110,000 , and regulatory assessments of $13,000 . First quarter 2013 other expenses included a write-down of $102,000 on equipment owned from a matured lease.

The Company’s efficiency ratio, measured as the percentage of non-interest expenses (exclusive of amortization of core deposit intangible assets and foreclosure expenses) to net interest income before provision for credit losses plus non-interest income (exclusive of realized gains on sales and calls of investments and OREO related gains and losses) was 83.35% for the first three months of 2013 compared to 75.81% for the three months ended March 31, 2012 . The deterioration in the efficiency ratio is primarily due to a decrease in net interest income and a increase in operating expenses.

Salaries and employee benefits decrease d $110,000 or 2.66% to $4,019,000 for the first three months of 2013 compared to $4,129,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 . Full time equivalents were 207 at March 31, 2013 , compared to 210 at March 31, 2012 .

Table of Contents

Occupancy and equipment expense increase d $20,000 or 2.27% to $901,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to $881,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 . The increase in 2013 was primarily due to increase in rent and depreciation expense for the premises. The Company made no changes in depreciation expense methodology.

Regulatory assessments decrease d to $143,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 2013 compared to $156,000 for the same period in 2012 . The the assessment base for calculating the amount owed is average assets minus average tangible equity.

Other categories of non-interest expenses increase d $97,000 or 8.72% in the period under review. The following table shows significant components of other non-interest expense as a percentage of average assets.

Provision for Income Taxes

Our effective income tax rate was 16.60% for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to 14.61% for the three months ended March 31, 2012 . The Company reported an income tax provision of $355,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 , compared to $293,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 . Our low effective tax rate is due primarily to federal tax deductions for tax free municipal bond income, solar tax credits, the state tax deduction for loans in designated enterprise zones in California, and state hiring tax credits.

The Company establishes a tax valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that a recorded tax benefit is not expected to be fully realized. The expense to create the tax valuation is recorded as an additional income tax expense in the period the tax valuation allowance is created. Based on management’s analysis as of March 31, 2013 , the Company determined that the deferred tax valuation allowance in the amount of $110,000 for California capital loss carryforwards was appropriate.

Preferred Stock Dividends and Accretion

On August 18, 2011, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with the Small Business Lending Fund of the United States Department of the Treasury (the “Treasury”), under which the Company issued 7,000 shares of Senior Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series C, to the Treasury for an aggregate purchase price of $7,000,000. Simultaneously, the Company agreed with Treasury to redeem 7,000 shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock (“Series A Stock”) originally issued pursuant to the Treasury’s Capital Purchase Program (“CPP”) in 2009. The redemption of the Series A Stock resulted in an acceleration of the remaining discount at the time of the CPP transaction.

Table of Contents

The Company accrued preferred stock dividends to the Treasury in the amount of $87,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2013 and preferred stock dividends and accretion of the CPP issuance discount on the amount of $88,000 during the comparable period in 2012.

Fair Value

The Company measures the fair values of its financial instruments utilizing a hierarchical framework associated with the level of observable pricing scenarios utilized in measuring financial instruments at fair value. The degree of judgment utilized in measuring the fair value of financial instruments generally correlates to the level of the observable pricing scenario. Financial instruments with readily available actively quoted prices or for which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices generally will have a higher degree of observable pricing and a lesser degree of judgment utilized in measuring fair value. Conversely, financial instruments rarely traded or not quoted will generally have little or no observable pricing and a higher degree of judgment utilized in measuring fair value. Observable pricing scenarios are impacted by a number of factors, including the type of financial instrument, whether the financial instrument is new to the market and not yet established and the characteristics specific to the transaction. See Note 5 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) for additional information about the level of pricing transparency associated with financial instruments carried at fair value.

Investments

Our investment portfolio consists primarily of U.S. Government sponsored entities and agencies collateralized by residential mortgage backed obligations and obligations of states and political subdivision securities and are classified at the date of acquisition as available for sale or held to maturity. As of March 31, 2013 , investment securities with a fair value of $92,484,000 , or 25.13% of our investment securities portfolio, were held as collateral for public funds, short and long-term borrowings, treasury, tax, and for other purposes. Our investment policies are established by the Board of Directors and implemented by our Investment/Asset Liability Committee. They are 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 level of our investment portfolio is generally considered higher than our peers due primarily to a comparatively low loan to deposit ratio. Our loan to deposit ratio at March 31, 2013 was 53.07% compared to 52.61% at December 31, 2012 . The loan to deposit ratio of our peers was 69.33% at December 31, 2012. The total investment portfolio, including Federal funds sold and interest-earning deposits in other banks, increase d 0.52% or $2,227,000 to $426,743,000 at March 31, 2013 , from $424,516,000 at December 31, 2012 . The market value of the portfolio reflected an unrealized gain of $10,007,000 at March 31, 2013 , compared to $12,891,000 at December 31, 2012 .

Management evaluated all available-for-sale investment securities with an unrealized loss at March 31, 2013 and identified those that had an unrealized loss for at least a consecutive 12 month period, which had an unrealized loss at March 31, 2013 greater than 10% of the recorded book value on that date, or which had an unrealized loss of more than $10,000. Management also analyzed any securities that may have been downgraded by credit rating agencies. Management retained the services of a

Table of Contents

third party in March 2013 to provide independent valuation and OTTI analysis on certain private label residential mortgage backed securities (PLRMBS).

For those bonds that met the evaluation criteria, management obtained and reviewed the most recently published national credit ratings for those bonds. For those bonds that were municipal debt securities with an investment grade rating by the rating agencies, management also evaluated the financial condition of the municipality and any applicable municipal bond insurance provider and concluded that no credit related impairment existed. The evaluation for PLRMBS includes estimating projected cash flows that the Company is likely to collect based on an assessment of all available information about the applicable security on an individual basis, the structure of the security, and certain assumptions, such as the remaining payment terms for the security, prepayment speeds, default rates, loss severity on the collateral supporting the security based on underlying loan-level borrower and loan characteristics, expected housing price changes, and interest rate assumptions, to determine whether the Company will recover the entire amortized cost basis of the security. In performing a detailed cash flow analysis, the Company identified the best estimate of the cash flows expected to be collected. If this estimate results in a present value of expected cash flows (discounted at the security’s original yield) that is less than the amortized cost basis of the security, an OTTI is considered to have occurred.

To assess whether it expects to recover the entire amortized cost basis of its PLRMBS, the Company performed a cash flow analysis for all of its PLRMBS as of March 31, 2013. In performing the cash flow analysis for each security, the Company uses a third-party model. The model considers borrower characteristics and the particular attributes of the loans underlying the Company’s securities, in conjunction with assumptions about future changes in home prices and other assumptions, to project prepayments, default rates, and loss severities.

Table of Contents

At March 31, 2013 , the Company held 179 U.S. Government sponsored entity and agency securities collateralized by residential mortgage obligations of which 33 were in a loss position for less than 12 months and 20 in a loss position for more than 12 months. The unrealized losses on the Company’s investments in U.S. Government sponsored entities and agencies collateralized by residential mortgage obligations were caused by interest rate changes. The contractual cash flows of those investments are guaranteed by an agency or sponsored entity of the U.S. Government. Accordingly, it is expected that the securities would not be settled at a price less than the amortized cost of the Company’s investment. Because the decline in market value is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality, and because the Company does not intend to sell, and it is more likely than not that it will not be required to sell those investments until a recovery of fair value, which may be maturity, the Company does not consider those investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at March 31, 2013 .

At March 31, 2013 , the Company had a total of 22 PLRMBS with a remaining principal balance of $5,707,000 and a net unrealized loss of approximately $550,000 . Four of these securities account for the $68,000 of unrealized loss at March 31, 2013 offset by 18 of these securities with gains totaling $618,000 . Seven of these PLRMBS with a remaining principal balance of $4,370,000 had credit ratings below investment grade. The Company continues to perform extensive analyses on these securities. No credit related OTTI charges related to PLRMBS were recorded during the three month period ended March 31, 2013 .

See Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) included in this report for carrying values and estimated fair values of our investment securities portfolio.

Loans

Total gross loans decrease d $4,353,000 or 1.10% to $390,965,000 as of March 31, 2013 , compared to $395,318,000 as of December 31, 2012 .

The following table sets forth information concerning the composition of our loan portfolio at the dates indicated:

Loan Type (dollars in thousands)	March 31, 2013		December 31, 2012
Commercial:
Commercial and industrial	$ 75,511	19.3 %	$ 77,956	19.7 %
Agricultural land and production	25,884	6.6 %	26,599	6.7 %
Total commercial	101,395	25.9 %	104,555	26.4 %
Real estate:

Total gross loans	390,965	100.0 %	395,318	100.0 %
Allowance for credit losses	(9,489	)	(10,133	)
Total loans	$ 381,476		$ 385,185

As of March 31, 2013 , in management’s judgment, a concentration of loans existed in commercial loans and loans collateralized by real estate, representing approximately 98% of total loans of which 25.9% were commercial and 72.1% were real-estate-related. This level of concentration is consistent with 97.4% at December 31, 2012 . Although management believes the loans within this concentration have no more than the normal risk of collectibility, a substantial further decline in the performance of the economy in general or a further decline in real estate values in 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

Table of Contents

effects which alone or in the aggregate could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. The Company was not involved in any sub-prime mortgage lending activities at March 31, 2013 or December 31, 2012 .

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 review and approve concentration limits and exceptions to limitations of concentration are reported to the Board of Directors at least quarterly.

Nonperforming Assets

Nonperforming assets consist of nonperforming loans, other real estate owned (OREO), and repossessed assets. Nonperforming loans are those loans which have (i) been placed on nonaccrual status; (ii) been classified as doubtful under our asset classification system; or (iii) become contractually past due 90 days or more with respect to principal or interest and have not been restructured or otherwise placed on nonaccrual status. A loan is classified as nonaccrual 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 March 31, 2013 , total nonperforming assets totaled $11,015,000 , or 1.24% of total assets, compared to $9,695,000 , or 1.09% of total assets at December 31, 2012 . Total nonperforming assets at March 31, 2013 , included nonaccrual loans totaling $11,015,000 and no OREO or repossessed assets. Nonperforming assets at December 31, 2012 consisted of $9,695,000 in nonaccrual loans and no OREO or repossessed assets. At March 31, 2013 , we had eight loans considered troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) totaling $10,416,000 which are included in nonaccrual loans compared to seven TDRs totaling $9,245,000 at December 31, 2012 . At March 31, 2013 , the Company has committed to lend additional amounts totaling up to $550,000 as of March 31, 2013 to customers with outstanding loans that are classified as troubled debt restructurings.

A summary of nonperforming loans at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 is set forth below. The Company had no loans past due more than 90 days and still accruing interest at March 31, 2013 or December 31, 2012 . Management can give no assurance that nonaccrual and other nonperforming loans will not increase in the future.

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 original contractual interest rate if the loan is not collateral dependent. As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 , we had impaired loans totaling $16,340,000 and $17,105,000 , respectively. For collateral dependent loans secured by real estate, we obtain external appraisals which are updated at least annually to determine the fair value of the collateral, and we record an immediate charge off for the difference between the book value of the loan and the appraised less selling costs value of the collateral We perform quarterly internal reviews on substandard loans. We place loans on nonaccrual status and classify them as impaired when it becomes probable that we will not receive interest and principal under the original contractual terms, or when loans are delinquent 90 days or more unless the loan is both well secured and in the process of collection. Management maintains certain loans that have been brought current by the borrower (less than 30 days delinquent) on nonaccrual status until such time as management has determined that the loans are likely to remain current in future periods.

Allowance for Credit Losses

We have established a methodology for the determination of provisions for credit losses made up of general and specific allocations. 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. The allowance for credit losses is an estimate of probable credit losses inherent in the Company's loan portfolio as of the balance-sheet date. The allowance consists of two primary components, specific reserves related to impaired loans and general reserves for inherent losses related to loans that are not impaired.

For all portfolio segments, the determination of the general reserve for loans that are not impaired is based on estimates made by management, including but not limited to, consideration of historical losses by portfolio segment over the most recent 20 quarters, and qualitative factors including economic trends in the Company’s service areas, industry experience and trends, geographic concentrations, estimated collateral values, the Company’s underwriting policies, the character of the loan portfolio, and probable losses inherent in the portfolio taken as a whole. During the quarter ended March 31, 2013 , management determined that the most recent 20 quarters was an appropriate look back period based on several factors including the current global economic uncertainty and various national and local economic indicators. Moving from a 16 quarter rolling average to a 20 quarter rolling average, did not have a material impact on the level of allowance required, but it did ensure that the significant loss years for the bank would continue to be factored into the general reserve analysis. Management determined that it was necessary to expand the average period to capture enough date due to the size of the portfolio to produce statistically accurate historical loss calculations. We believe this period is an appropriate look back period.

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 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 probable incurred 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 Chief Credit Administrator (CCA) to determine the loss reserve ratio for each type of asset and to review, 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 probable incurred losses in our loan and lease portfolio. The allowance is based on principles of accounting: (1) ASC 450-20 which requires losses to be accrued for on loans when they are probable of occurring and can be reasonably estimated and (2) ASC 310-10 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.

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 and are placed on non-accrual.

The following table sets forth information regarding our allowance for credit losses at the dates and for the periods indicated:

(Dollars in thousands)	For the Three Months Ended March 31, — 2013		For the Year Ended December 31, — 2012		For the Three Months Ended March 31, — 2012

Allowance for credit losses to total loans at end of period	2.43	%	2.56	%	2.52	%

As of March 31, 2013 , the balance in the allowance for credit losses was $9,489,000 compared to $10,133,000 as of December 31, 2012 . The decrease was due to net charge offs during the three months ended March 31, 2013 being greater than the amount of the provision for credit losses. Net charge offs totaled $644,000 while there was no provision for credit losses. The balance of commitments to extend credit on undisbursed construction and other loans and letters of credit was $148,950,000 as of March 31, 2013 , compared to $162,851,000 as of December 31, 2012 . At March 31, 2013 , the balance of a contingent allocation for probable loan loss experience on unfunded obligations was $110,000 . The contingent allocation for probable loan loss experience on unfunded obligations is calculated by management using appropriate, systematic, and consistently applied process. While related to credit losses, this allocation is not a part of ALLL and is considered separately as a liability for accounting and regulatory reporting purposes. Risks and uncertainties exist in all lending transactions and our management and Directors’ Loan Committee have established reserve levels based on economic uncertainties and other risks that exist as of each reporting period.

As of March 31, 2013 , the allowance for credit losses was 2.43% of total gross loans compared to 2.56% as of December 31, 2012 . During the three months ended March 31, 2013 , there were no major changes in loan concentrations that significantly affected the allowance for credit losses. The determination of the general reserve for loans that are not impaired is based on estimates made by management, including but not limited to, consideration of historical losses by portfolio segment over the most recent 20 quarters, and qualitative factors. During the quarter ended March 31, 2013 , management determined that the most recent 20 quarters was an appropriate look back period based on several factors including the current global economic uncertainty and various national and local economic indicators. Moving from a 16 quarter rolling average to a 20 quarter rolling average, did not have a material impact on the level of allowance required, but it did ensure that the significant loss years for the bank would continue to be factored into the general reserve analysis. Management determined that it was necessary to expand the average period to capture enough date due to the size of the portfolio to produce statistically accurate historical loss calculations. During the period ended December 31, 2012 , the Company enhanced the process for estimating the allowance for credit losses related to impaired loans through inclusion of the use of the discounted cash flow method on certain credits where sufficient payment history exists and future payments can be reasonably projected based on a global borrower cash flow analysis in addition to collateral dependent analysis. The modification did not have a significant impact on the amount of the allowance for credit losses in total nor did it have a material impact on the allocation of the allowance within loan categories. In 2011, enhanced methodology enabled us to assign qualitative and environmental factors (Q factors) to each loan category. Q factors include reserves held for the effects of lending policies, economic trends, and portfolio trends along with other dynamics which may cause additional stress to the portfolio. 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.

Non-performing loans totaled $11,015,000 as of March 31, 2013 , and $9,695,000 as of December 31, 2012 . The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of nonperforming loans was 86.15% and 104.52% as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 , respectively. Management believes the allowance at March 31, 2013 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.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Business combinations involving the Company’s acquisition of the equity interests or net assets of another enterprise give rise to goodwill. Total goodwill at March 31, 2013 , was $23,577,000 consisting of $14,643,000 and $8,934,000 representing the excess of the cost of Service 1 st and Bank of Madera County, respectively, over the net of the amounts assigned to assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transactions accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. The value of goodwill is ultimately derived from the Bank’s ability to generate net earnings after the acquisitions and is not deductible for

Table of Contents

tax purposes. A significant 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 at least annually for impairment.

Management performed our annual impairment test in the third quarter of 2012 utilizing the qualitative factors cited in ASU 2011-08. Management believes that factors cited in the ASU are sufficient and comprehensive and as such, no further factors need to be assessed at this time. Based on management’s analysis performed, no impairment was required. Goodwill is also tested for impairment between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the Company below its carrying amount. No such events or circumstances arose during the first three months of 2013 .

The intangible assets represent the estimated fair value of the core deposit relationships acquired in the acquisition of Service 1st in 2008 of $1,400,000 and the 2005 acquisition of Bank of Madera County of $1,500,000. Core deposit intangibles are being amortized using the straight-line method (which approximates the effective interest method) over an estimated life of seven years from the date of acquisition. The carrying value of intangible assets at March 31, 2013 was $533,000 , net of $2,367,000 in accumulated amortization expense. The carrying value at December 31, 2012 was $583,000 , net of $2,317,000 accumulated amortization expense. We evaluate the remaining useful lives quarterly to determine whether events or circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining periods of amortization. Based on the evaluation, no changes to the remaining useful lives was required in the first three months of 2013 . Amortization expense recognized was $50,000 for the three month periods ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 . The core deposit intangible for the 2005 acquisition of Bank of Madera County was fully amortized as of December 31, 2011.

Deposits and Borrowings

The Bank’s deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to applicable legal limits. The FDIC's unlimited deposit insurance coverage on non-interest bearing transaction accounts mandated by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act ended December 31, 2012. Beginning January 1, 2013, all of a depositors' accounts at an insured depository institution, including all non-interest bearing transactions accounts, will be insured by the FDIC up to standard maximum deposit insurance amount of $250,000 for each deposit insurance ownership category.

Total deposits decrease d $14,673,000 or 1.95% to $736,759,000 as of March 31, 2013 , compared to $751,432,000 as of December 31, 2012 . Interest-bearing deposits decrease d $1,262,000 or 0.25% to $510,001,000 as of March 31, 2013 , compared to $511,263,000 as of December 31, 2012 . Non-interest bearing deposits decrease d $13,411,000 or 5.58% to $226,758,000 as of March 31, 2013 , compared to $240,169,000 as of December 31, 2012 . Average non-interest bearing deposits to average total deposits was 30.69% for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to 29.18% for the same period in 2012 .

The composition of the deposits and average interest rates paid at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 is summarized in the table below.

(Dollars in thousands)	March 31, 2013	% of Total Deposits	Effective Rate	December 31, 2012	% of Total Deposits	Effective Rate

Other Borrowings

There were no short term or long term borrowings as of March 31, 2013 , compared to short term-borrowings of $4,000,000 in FHLB advances at December 31, 2012 .

The Company holds junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures (trust preferred securities). Under applicable regulatory guidance, the amount of trust preferred securities that is eligible as Tier 1 capital is limited to 25% of the Company’s Tier 1

Table of Contents

capital on a pro forma basis. At March 31, 2013 , all of the trust preferred securities that have been issued qualify as Tier 1 capital. Interest on the trust preferred securities is payable and the rate is adjusted to equal the three month LIBOR plus 1.60% each January 7, April 7, July 7 or October 7 of each year. The rates were 1.90% and 2.17% at March 31, 2013 and 2012 , respectively. Interest expense recognized by the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 was $25,000 and $29,000 , respectively.

Capital

Our shareholders’ equity was $117,215,000 as of March 31, 2013 , compared to $117,665,000 as of December 31, 2012 . The decrease in shareholders’ equity is the result of a decrease in other comprehensive income net of tax of $1,697,000 , partially offset by an increase of $1,218,000 in retained earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2013 .

On August 15, 2012, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the adoption of a program to effect repurchases of the Company's common stock. Under the program, the Company may repurchase up to five percent of the Company's outstanding shares of common stock, or approximately 479,850 shares based on the shares outstanding as of August 15, 2012, for the period beginning on August 15, 2012, and ending February 15, 2013. During 2012, the Company repurchased and retired a total of 58,100 shares at an average price of $8.41 for a total cost of $488,000. The stock repurchase program was suspended after the Company entered into a Reorganization Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger Agreement) with Visalia Community Bank of December 19, 2012.

During the first quarter of 2013 , the Company declared and paid $478,000 in cash dividends ($0.05 per share) to holders of common stock. During the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company declared and paid $480,000 in cash dividends ($0.05 per share) to holders of common stock. During 2012, the Bank declared and paid cash dividends to the Company of $3,000,000, in connection with stock repurchase agreements and cash dividends approved by the Company’s Board of Directors. 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 assessment of capital adequacy is dependent on several factors including asset quality, earnings trends, liquidity and economic conditions. Maintenance of adequate capital levels is integral to providing stability to the Company. The Company needs to maintain substantial levels of regulatory capital to give it maximum flexibility in the changing regulatory environment and to respond to changes in the market and economic conditions including acquisition opportunities.

The following table presents the Company’s and the Bank’s Regulatory capital ratios as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 .

We are required to deduct the disallowed portion of net deferred tax assets from Tier 1 capital in calculating our capital ratios. Generally, disallowed deferred tax assets that are dependent upon future taxable income are limited to the lesser of the amount of deferred tax assets that we expect to realize within one year, based on projected future taxable income, or 10% of the amount of our Tier 1 capital. $1,555,000 in disallowed deferred tax assets were deducted from Tier 1 capital at March 31, 2013 , compared to $53,000 at December 31, 2012 .

Liquidity

Liquidity management involves our ability to meet cash flow requirements arising from fluctuations in deposit levels and demands of daily operations, which include funding of securities purchases, providing for customers’ credit needs and ongoing repayment of borrowings. 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 with correspondent banks, and advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco. These funding sources are augmented by payments of principal and interest on loans, the routine maturities and pay downs of securities from the securities portfolio, the stability of our core deposits and the ability to sell investment securities. As of March 31, 2013 , the Company had unpledged securities totaling $275,478,000 available as a secondary source of liquidity and total cash and cash equivalents of $78,078,000 . Cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2013 increase d 47.44% compared to December 31, 2012 . Primary uses of funds include withdrawal of and interest payments on deposits, originations and purchases of loans, purchases of investment securities, and payment of operating expenses. Due to the negative impact of the slow economic recovery, we have been cautiously managing our asset quality. Consequently, expanding our portfolio or finding appropriate adequate investments to utilize some of our excess liquidity has been difficult in the current economic environment.

As a means of augmenting our liquidity, we have established federal funds lines with our correspondent banks. At March 31, 2013 , our available borrowing capacity includes approximately $40,000,000 in unsecured credit lines with our correspondent banks, $222,374,000 in unused FHLB advances and a $114,000 secured credit line at the Federal Reserve Bank. We believe our liquidity sources to be stable and adequate. At March 31, 2013 , we were not aware of any information that was reasonably likely to have a material effect on our liquidity position.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

As of the end of the period covered by this report, management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures with respect to the information generated for use in this Quarterly Report. The evaluation was based in part upon reports provided by a number of executives. Based upon, and as of the date of that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures, as so amended, were effective to provide reasonable assurances that information required to be disclosed in the reports the Company files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits is accumulated and communicated to management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There was no change in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2013 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.

Table of Contents

In designing and evaluating disclosure controls and procedures, the Company’s management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurances of achieving the desired control objectives and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
