Annualized return on average assets and annualized return on average equity was 0.49% and 3.32% for the three months ended June 30, 2007, as compared to 0.94% and 9.93% for the same period one year ago.

The Bank experienced a decline in net income during the second quarter of 2007 as compared to the second quarter of 2006, primarily due to an increased provision for loan losses, and increased operating expenses, and to a lesser extent, a reduction in revenue.
Net Interest Income
Net interest income declined $57,000 or 2% to $2,635,000 during the second quarter of 2007 compared to $2,692,000 for the same quarter of 2006. The annualized net interest margin declined to 3.43% for the three months ended June 30, 2007, compared to 3.94% for the three months ended June 30, 2006. The net interest margin continues to be negatively impacted as rates on deposits continue to reprice upward while the change in yields on earning assets have slowed as the Federal Reserve stopped increasing short-term rates, and the growth in loans has been funded through time deposits or FHLB advances.
Average earning assets were $307,893,000 for the second quarter of 2007, as compared to $273,804,000 for the second quarter of 2006. The annualized yield on average earning assets was 7.30% and the annualized cost of average interest-bearing liabilities was 4.48% for the second quarter of 2007, as compared to the annualized yield on average earning assets of 7.21% and annualized cost of interest-bearing liabilities of 3.57% for the second quarter of 2006.
Net interest income declined $95,000 or 2% to $5,399,000 during the first six months of 2007 compared to $5,494,000 for the same period in 2006. The net interest margin declined to 3.59% for the six months ended June 30, 2007, compared to 3.92% for the six months ended June 30, 2006.
Non-interest Income
For the second quarter 2007, total non-interest income was $313,000, as compared to $334,000 for the second quarter of 2006. Non-interest income in 2006 included the recovery of $34,000 in loan collection legal expenses included in other income in the second quarter of 2006. For the six month periods, non-interest income was $607,000 at June 30, 2007 and $656,000 at June 30, 2006.
Non-interest Expense
For the second quarter 2007, non-interest expense increased $277,000 or 16% to $2,002,000, compared to the same quarter in 2006. Salaries and employee benefits expense increased $67,000 or 7.5% to $957,000. Occupancy and equipment expenses increased $51,000 or 15% and other operating expenses increased $159,000 or 32% for the second quarter of 2007 as compared to the second quarter of 2006. Part of the increase in salaries and employee benefits expense and occupancy and equipment expense were attributable to personnel hired and space leased in the first quarter of 2007 for the new regional office in Petaluma which was opened in July 2007. The increase in other operating expense was partially due to increased loan collection expenses.
Loan and Deposit Activity
Total loans as of June 30, 2007 were $266,219,000, an increase of $15,870,000 or 6%, compared to total loans of $250,349,000 at June 30, 2006.

Nonperforming Assets, Allowance and Provision For Loan Losses
Nonperforming assets at June 30, 2007 include loans on nonaccrual of $341,000 or 0.13% of gross loans and other real estate owned ("OREO") of $921,000. This is a decline as compared to the non performing asset total at March 31, 2007 which was $2,110,000. The nonaccrual amount at June 30, 2007 consists of one loan restructured in 2006 and this loan is current with the restructured terms. The OREO at June 30, 2007 consists of one commercial property from a loan foreclosure recorded at estimated market value, net of estimated sales commission.
The provision for loan losses was $260,000 for the second quarter ended June 30, 2007 as compared to $111,000 in the second quarter of 2006. The increase reflects the growth in loan totals and loan charge-offs. Loans charged-off for the second quarter of 2007 were $642,000. At June 30, 2007, the allowance for loan losses was $3,175,000 and represented a ratio to gross loans of 1.19% and to nonaccrual loans of 931%.
