"The loans added from Business First are primarily Real Estate loans, all of which have undergone a thorough underwriting by our lenders to make sure they conform to our standards," said Ward. "These loans, along with our internally generated loans, combined to increase the Real Estate (other) loans in our portfolio by 36%." Net loans grew 38% to $605 million at December 31, 2007, from $439 million a year earlier. Of the total growth in loans 34% came from the Business First acquisition and 4% came from organic growth.

Deposits
"Building core deposits to fund our loan growth will continue to be a focal point for us in 2008," said Ward. "Last year we implemented a strategy of funding our increased loan demand through a new variable interest rate money market account. We also used this new account to help replace higher cost borrowings. Consequently, savings, NOW and money market balances more than doubled and total deposits increased 53% since the end of December 2006. Of that deposit growth, 29% came from the Business First acquisition and 24% came from internal growth. Additionally, these deposits vary with market rate changes, and are thus, a much more complementary funding source for our primarily floating rate loan portfolio." Total deposits grew 53% to $645 million at the end of 2007, compared to $421 million at the end of 2006 and total assets increased 38% to a record $746 million at year-end, compared to $542 million a year earlier.

Due to the significant deposit growth, Heritage Oaks reduced its Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) borrowings by $42 million in 2007. "We believe that we saved approximately 20-30 basis points by replacing FHLB borrowings with relationship core deposits," Ward noted. On September 20, 2007, the company issued $5.0 million in trust preferred securities. The Company is using the funds for general corporate purposes, including the acquisition of Business First.
Asset Quality
Asset quality remains strong with non-performing assets totaling only $338,000, or 0.05% of total assets at year-end. Three months earlier, Heritage Oaks' non-performing assets totaled $641,000, or 0.11% of total assets. Despite the strong asset quality, Heritage Oaks has increased its allowance for loan losses to $6.1 million, or 1.00% of total loans at year-end compared to $4.1 million or 0.92% of total loans at December 31, 2006. "Our non-performing loans consist of four loans, of which, one for approximately $260 thousand that is real estate secured has a Loan To Value (LTV) of approximately less than 65% and is current, two loans that are less than $20 thousand each and are paying as agreed, and one less than $50 thousand that is in the process of collection. We are closely monitoring all delinquent loans, reviewing them weekly and do not anticipate at this time any significant increase in non-performing loans. As a business bank, we do not hold any residential mortgages in our portfolio and have no direct exposure to the subprime mortgage situation. We are keeping a close eye on all our lending relationships, and frequently review our loan portfolio to maintain strong asset quality," added Ward.
Operating Results
"Although our net interest margin contracted as a result of our acquisition of Business First, the decline was not as significant as we thought it would be," Ward said. "Core deposit growth, generated by the success of our program to increase money market account balances contributed to keeping our margin above peer levels." In 2007, the net interest margin was 5.47% compared to 5.94% in 2006. For the fourth quarter, the net interest margin was 5.33% compared to 5.44% in the previous quarter and 5.72% in the fourth quarter a year ago.
Total revenues, consisting of net interest income before the provision for loan losses and non-interest income, increased 12% to $35.8 million in 2007 compared to $32.0 million a year ago. For the year, approximately 4% of the revenue increase was the result of the acquisition of Business First. Fourth quarter revenues grew 24% to $10.2 million from $8.3 million in the same quarter of 2006. For the quarter, approximately 15% of the revenue increase was the result of the acquisition of Business First. Net interest income increased 12% to $30.4 million in 2007 compared to $27.1 million in 2006. In the fourth quarter, net interest income increased 26% to $8.8 million, from $7.0 million a year ago. Interest and fees on loans increased 31% for the fourth quarter and 25% for the year compared to last year while interest expense increased by 47% and 58% for that same 3 month and 12 month time frame.
Non-interest income was $5.3 million in 2007, compared to $5.0 million in 2006. A recovery of approximately $200,000 from a 2001 operational loss is included in other non-interest income during the fourth quarter of 2006. For the fourth quarter of 2007, non-interest income increased 11% to $1.4 million, compared to $1.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2006.
Total non-interest expense increased 14% to $23.9 million in 2007, from $21.0 million in 2006. In the fourth quarter, non-interest expenses were $6.9 million compared to $5.5 million in the fourth quarter a year ago. "Our increase in salary and employee benefits and the increased occupancy costs are directly a result of our larger organization due to both the acquisition of Business First and our organic growth in 2007," said Ward. "Additionally, our occupancy expense increased in the second half of 2007 due to a sale leaseback transaction that was finalized in June 2007. The offset to this additional expense is an increase in interest income resulting from the investment of the funds we received by selling the properties."
The provision for income tax was approximately 200 basis points higher at 38.26 % in 2007 compared to 36.27 % in 2006. The amount of the tax provision is determined by applying the Company's statutory income tax rates to pre-tax book income, adjusted for permanent differences between pre-tax book income and actual taxable income. Such permanent differences include but are not limited to tax-exempt interest income, and increases in the cash surrender value of bank-owned life insurance.
Performance Measures
Return on average assets was 1.11% in the fourth quarter and 1.14% for the year, compared to 1.23% and 1.32% for the respective periods in 2006. Return on average equity was 11.7% for the fourth quarter of 2007 and 12.4% for the year, compared to 13.5% and 14.1% in their respective periods in 2006.
The efficiency ratio was 67.3% in the fourth quarter of 2007 compared to 66.9% in the previous quarter and 67.1% in the fourth quarter a year ago. For all of 2007, the efficiency ratio was 66.8% compared to 65.5% in 2006. The efficiency ratio measures operating expenses as a percent of revenues.
Shareholders' equity increased 40% to $69.5 million compared to $49.5 million a year ago. Book value per share was $9.49 at December 31, 2007, compared to $7.80 per share a year earlier. Tangible book value per share was $7.32 at December 31, 2007, compared to $6.84 a year earlier.
