INTRODUCTION
Certain statements in this report constitute
forward-looking statements under Section 27A of
the 1934 Act and Section 21E of the 1934 Act, and
as such involve risk and uncertainties. These forward-looking
statements relate to, among other things, expectations of the
environment in which we operate, projections of future
performance, perceived opportunities in the market and
strategies regarding our mission and vision. Our actual results
may differ significantly from the results discussed in such
forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such a
difference include but are not limited to economic conditions,
competition in the geographic and business areas in which we
conduct our operations, fluctuations in interest rates, credit
quality and government regulation. For additional information
concerning these factors, see Item 1.
Business Risk Factors that May Affect Future
Results. We do not undertake any obligations to update our
forward-looking statements to reflect occurrence or
unanticipated events or circumstances after the date of such
statements.
PART I
Recent Developments
On February 25, 2005, we completed our acquisition of
Granite State Bank. As a result of the acquisition, we have
added 2 additional Business Financial Centers in Los Angeles
County. At December 31, 2004, Granite State Bank had
$108.1 million in assets, $63.9 million in net loans
and $97.3 million in deposits. To complete the acquisition,
we paid $13.3 million in cash and issued
708,554 shares of CVB Stock to the former Granite
shareholders.
CVB Financial Corp.
CVB Financial Corp. (referred to herein on an unconsolidated
basis as CVB and on a consolidated basis as
we or the Company) is a bank holding
company incorporated in California on April 27, 1981 and
registered under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as
amended (the Bank Holding Company Act). The Company
commenced business on December 30, 1981 when, pursuant to
reorganization, it acquired all of the voting stock of Chino
Valley Bank. On March 29, 1996, Chino Valley Bank changed
its name to Citizens Business Bank (the Bank). The
Bank is our principal asset. CVB has other subsidiaries:
Community Trust Deed Services (Community); CVB
Ventures, Inc.; Chino Valley Bancorp and ONB Bancorp. CVB is
also the common stockholder of CVB Statutory Trust I and
CVB Statutory Trust II, which were created in December 2003
to issue trust preferred securities in order to raise capital
for the Company. The Bank has one operating subsidiary, Golden
West Enterprises, Inc, which engages in automobile and equipment
leasing, and brokers mortgage loans.
CVBs principal business is to serve as a holding company
for the Bank, Community, and for other banking or banking
related subsidiaries which the Company may establish or acquire.
We have not engaged in any other activities to date. As a legal
entity separate and distinct from its subsidiaries, CVBs
principal source of funds is, and will continue to be, dividends
paid by and other funds advanced from primarily the Bank. Legal
limitations are imposed on the amount of dividends that may be
paid and loans that may be made by the Bank to CVB. See
Item 1. Business Supervision and
Regulation Dividends and Other Transfers of
Funds. At December 31, 2004, the Company had
$4.51 billion in total consolidated assets,
$2.12 billion in net loans and $2.88 billion in
deposits.
The principal executive offices of CVB and the Bank are located
at 701 North Haven Avenue, Suite 350, Ontario, California.
Our phone number is (909) 980-4030.
Citizens Business Bank
The Bank commenced operations as a California state chartered
bank on August 9, 1974. The Banks deposit accounts
are insured under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act up to
applicable limits. The Bank is not
2
a member of the Federal Reserve System. At December 31,
2004, the Bank had $4.50 billion in assets,
$2.12 billion in net loans and $2.89 billion in
deposits.
As of December 31, 2004, we had 37 Business Financial
Centers located in the Inland Empire, San Gabriel Valley,
Orange County, Los Angeles County, Fresno County, Tulare County,
and Kern County areas of California. Of the 37 offices, we
opened eleven as de novo branches and acquired the other
twenty-six in acquisition transactions. We have added 5 offices
in 2003; no offices were added in 2004. With the close of our
acquisition of Granite State Bank which occurred on
February 25, 2005, we will add two additional Business
Financial Centers in Los Angeles County. See Subsequent
Event under Item 7. Managements Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Through our network of banking offices, we emphasize
personalized service combined with a full range of banking and
trust services for businesses, professionals and individuals
located in the service areas of our offices. Although we focus
the marketing of our services to small-and medium-sized
businesses, a full range of retail banking services are made
available to the local consumer market.
We offer a wide range of deposit instruments. These include
checking, savings, money market and time certificates of deposit
for both business and personal accounts. We also serve as a
federal tax depository for our business customers.
We provide a full complement of lending products, including
commercial, agribusiness, consumer, real estate loans and
equipment and vehicle leasing. Commercial products include lines
of credit and other working capital financing, accounts
receivable lending and letters of credit. Agribusiness products
are loans to finance the operating needs of wholesale dairy farm
operations, cattle feeders, livestock raisers, and farmers. We
provide lease financing for municipal governments. Financing
products for consumers include automobile leasing and financing,
lines of credit, and home improvement and home equity lines of
credit. Real estate loans include mortgage and construction
loans.
We also offer a wide range of specialized services designed for
the needs of our commercial accounts. These services include
cash management systems for monitoring cash flow, a credit card
program for merchants, courier pick-up and delivery, payroll
services, electronic funds transfers by way of domestic and
international wires and automated clearinghouse, and on-line
account access. We make available investment products to
customers, including mutual funds, a full array of fixed income
vehicles and a program to diversify our customers funds in
federally insured time certificates of deposit of other
institutions.
We offer a wide range of financial services and trust services
through our Wealth Management Division. These services include
fiduciary services, mutual funds, annuities, 401K plans and
individual investment accounts.
Golden West Enterprises, Inc.
The Bank owns 100% of the voting stock of Golden West
Enterprises, Inc., which is located in Costa Mesa, California.
Golden West Enterprises, Inc. provides automobile and equipment
leasing, and brokers mortgage loans. As of December 31,
2004, Golden West Enterprises, Inc. had $52.8 million in
lease receivables.
Community Trust Deed Services
The Company owns 100% of the voting stock of Community, which
has one office. Communitys services, which are provided to
the Bank and non-affiliated persons, include preparing and
filing notices of default, reconveyances and related documents
and acting as a trustee under deeds of trust. At present, the
assets, revenues and earnings of Community are not material in
amount when compared to the Bank.
Employees
At December 31, 2004, we employed 674 persons, 472 on a
full-time and 202 on a part-time basis. We believe that our
employee relations are satisfactory.
3
Competition
The banking and financial services industry is highly
competitive. The increasingly competitive environment is a
result primarily of changes in regulation, changes in technology
and product delivery systems, and the accelerating pace of
consolidation among financial services providers. We compete for
loans, deposits, and customers with other commercial banks,
savings and loan associations, securities and brokerage
companies, mortgage companies, insurance companies, finance
companies, money market funds, credit unions, and other nonbank
financial service providers. Many of our competitors are much
larger in total assets and capitalization, have greater access
to capital markets and offer a broader range of financial
services than we do.
Economic Conditions, Government Policies, Legislation, and
Regulation
Our profitability, like most financial institutions, is
primarily dependent on interest rate differentials. In general,
the difference between the interest rates paid by us on
interest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits and other
borrowings, and the interest rates received by us on our
interest-earning assets, such as loans extended to its clients
and securities held in its investment portfolio, comprise the
major portion of our earnings. These rates are highly sensitive
to many factors that are beyond our control, such as inflation,
recession and unemployment, monetary and fiscal policy as
described below, and the impact which future changes in domestic
and foreign economic conditions might have on us cannot be
predicted.
Our business is also influenced by the monetary and fiscal
policies of the federal government and the policies of
regulatory agencies, particularly the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System (the FRB). The FRB implements
national monetary policies (with objectives such as curbing
inflation and combating recession) through its open-market
operations in U.S. Government securities, by adjusting the
required level of reserves for depository institutions subject
to its reserve requirements, and by varying the target federal
funds and discount rates applicable to borrowings by depository
institutions. The actions of the FRB in these areas influence
the growth of bank loans, investments, and deposits and also
affect interest rates earned on interest-earning assets and paid
on interest-bearing liabilities. The nature and impact on us of
any future changes in monetary and fiscal policies cannot be
predicted.
From time to time, legislation, as well as regulations, are
enacted which have the effect of increasing the cost of doing
business, limiting or expanding permissible activities, or
affecting the competitive balance between banks and other
financial services providers. Proposals to change the laws and
regulations governing the operations and taxation of banks, bank
holding companies, and other financial institutions and
financial services providers are frequently made by the
U.S. Congress, by the state legislature, and various
regulatory agencies. This legislation may change banking
statutes and our operating environment in substantial and
unpredictable ways. If enacted, such legislation could increase
or decrease the cost of doing business, limit or expand
permissible activities or affect the competitive balance among
banks, savings associations, credit unions, and other financial
institutions. We cannot predict whether any of this potential
legislation will be enacted, and if enacted, the effect that it,
or any implementing regulations, would have on our financial
condition or results of operations.
Supervision and Regulation
Bank holding companies and banks are extensively regulated under
both federal and state law. This regulation is intended
primarily for the protection of depositors and the deposit
insurance fund and not for the benefit of our shareholders. Set
forth below is a summary description of the material laws and
regulations which relate to our operations. The description is
qualified in its entirety by reference to the applicable laws
and regulations.
As a bank holding company, we are subject to regulation and
examination by the FRB under the Bank Holding Company Act of
1956, as amended (the BHCA). We are required to file
with the FRB periodic
4
reports and such additional information as the FRB may require.
Recent changes to the bank holding company rating system
emphasize risk management and evaluation of the potential impact
of non-depository entities on safety and soundness.
The FRB may require that we terminate an activity or terminate
control of or liquidate or divest certain subsidiaries,
affiliates or investments when the FRB believes the activity or
the control of the subsidiary or affiliate constitutes a
significant risk to the financial safety, soundness or stability
of any of its banking subsidiaries. The FRB also has the
authority to regulate provisions of certain bank holding company
debt, including the authority to impose interest ceilings and
reserve requirements on such debt. Under certain circumstances,
we must file written notice and obtain FRB approval prior to
purchasing or redeeming its equity securities. Further, we are
required by the FRB to maintain certain levels of capital. See
Capital Standards.
We are required to obtain prior FRB approval for the acquisition
of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of any class of voting
securities or substantially all of the assets of any bank or
bank holding company. Prior FRB approval is also required for
the merger or consolidation of CVB and another bank holding
company.
We are prohibited by the BHCA, except in certain statutorily
prescribed instances, from acquiring direct or indirect
ownership or control of more than 5% of the outstanding voting
shares of any company that is not a bank or bank holding company
and from engaging directly or indirectly in activities other
than those of banking, managing or controlling banks, or
furnishing services to its subsidiaries. However, subject to the
prior FRB approval, we may engage in any, or acquire shares of
companies engaged in, activities that the FRB deems to be so
closely related to banking or managing or controlling banks as
to be a proper incident thereto.
It is the policy of the FRB that each bank holding company
serves as a source of financial and managerial strength to our
subsidiary bank and may not conduct operations in an unsafe or
unsound manner. In addition, it is the FRBs policy that a
bank holding company should stand ready to use available
resources to provide adequate capital funds to its subsidiary
bank during periods of financial stress or adversity and should
maintain the financial flexibility and capital-raising capacity
to obtain additional resources for assisting its subsidiary
bank. A bank holding companys failure to meet its
obligations to serve as a source of strength to its subsidiary
banks will generally be considered by the FRB to be an unsafe
and unsound banking practice or a violation of FRB regulations
or both.
We are also a bank holding company within the meaning of
Section 3700 of the California Financial Code. As such, CVB
and its subsidiaries are subject to examination by, and may be
required to file reports with, the California Department of
Financial Institutions (DFI).
Our securities are registered with the Securities and Exchange
Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(the Exchange Act). As such, we are subject to the
information, proxy solicitation, insider trading, corporate
governance, and other requirements and restrictions of the
Exchange Act.
The Bank
As a California chartered bank, the Bank is subject to primary
supervision, periodic examination, and regulation by the DFI and
the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), as
well as certain regulations promulgated by the FRB. If, as a
result of an examination of the bank, the FDIC or DFI determines
that the financial condition, capital resources, asset quality,
earnings prospects, management, liquidity, or other aspects of
our operations are unsatisfactory or that we are violating or
have violated any law or regulation, various remedies are
available to the FDIC. Such remedies include the power to enjoin
unsafe or unsound practices, to require affirmative
action to correct any conditions resulting from any violation or
practice, to issue an administrative order that can be
judicially enforced, to direct an increase in capital, to
restrict our growth, to assess civil monetary penalties, to
remove officers and directors, and ultimately to terminate our
deposit insurance, which would result in a revocation of the
Banks charter.
5
The DFI also possesses broad powers to take corrective and other
supervisory actions to resolve the problems of California
state-chartered banks. These enforcement powers include cease
and desist orders, the imposition of fines, the ability to take
possession of a bank and the ability to close and liquidate a
bank.
Because California permits commercial banks chartered by the
state to engage in any activity permissible for national banks,
we can form subsidiaries to engage in expanded financial
activities, to the same extent as a national bank. However, in
order to form a financial subsidiary, we must be well
capitalized and would be subject to the same capital deduction,
risk management and affiliate transaction rules as applicable to
national banks. Generally, a financial subsidiary is permitted
to engage in activities that are financial in nature
or incidental thereto, even though they are not permissible for
the national bank itself. The definition of financial in
nature includes, among other items, underwriting, dealing
in or making a market in securities, including, for example,
distributing shares of mutual funds. The subsidiary may not,
however, engage as principal in underwriting insurance, issue
annuities or engage in real estate development or investment or
merchant banking.
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of
2002
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 addresses accounting oversight
and corporate governance matters, including:
|
|
|
|
|
the prohibition of accounting firms from providing various types
of consulting services to public clients and requiring
accounting firms to rotate partners among public client
assignments every five years; |
|
|
|
increased penalties for financial crimes and forfeiture of
executive bonuses in certain circumstances; |
|
|
|
required executive certification of financial presentations; |
|
|
|
enhanced disclosure of controls and procedures and internal
control over financial reporting; |
|
|
|
increased requirements for board audit committees and their
members; |
|
|
|
enhanced controls on, and reporting of, insider trading; and |
|
|
|
statutory separations between investment bankers and analysts. |
The new legislation and its implementing regulations will result
in increased costs of compliance, including certain outside
professional costs. To date, these costs, including allocated
time of our associates that were performing other tasks, is
approximately $0.01 per share before taxes.
The USA Patriot Act of 2001 and its implementing regulations
significantly expanded the anti-money laundering and financial
transparency laws. Under the USA PATRIOT Act, financial
institutions are subject to prohibitions regarding specified
financial transactions and account relationships as well as
enhanced due diligence and know your customer
standards in their dealings with foreign financial institutions
and foreign customers. For example, the enhanced due diligence
policies, procedures, and controls generally require financial
institutions to take reasonable steps:
|
|
|
|
|
to conduct enhanced scrutiny of account relationships to guard
against money laundering and report any suspicious transaction; |
|
|
|
to ascertain the identity of the nominal and beneficial owners
of, and the source of funds deposited into, each account as
needed to guard against money laundering and report any
suspicious transactions; |
|
|
|
to ascertain for any foreign bank, the shares of which are not
publicly traded, the identity of the owners of the foreign bank,
and the nature and extent of the ownership interest of each such
owner; and |
|
|
|
to ascertain whether any foreign bank provides correspondent
accounts to other foreign banks and, if so, the identity of
those foreign banks and related due diligence information. |
6
Under the USA PATRIOT Act, financial institutions are required
to establish and maintain anti-money laundering programs which
included:
|
|
|
|
|
the establishment of a customer identification program; |
|
|
|
the development of internal policies, procedures, and controls; |
|
|
|
the designation of a compliance officer; |
|
|
|
an ongoing employee training program; and |
|
|
|
an independent audit function to test the programs. |
We have implemented comprehensive policies and procedures to
address the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act.
|
|
|
Merchant Banking Restrictions |
We have determined that it is not beneficial at this time for us
to become a financial holding company and enter into merchant
banking activities, though we could do so in the future.
|
|
|
Consumer Protection Laws and Regulations |
The Bank regulatory agencies are focusing greater attention on
compliance with consumer protection laws and their implementing
regulations. Examination and enforcement have become more
intense in nature, and insured institutions have been advised to
monitor carefully compliance with such laws and regulations. The
bank is subject to many federal consumer protection statutes and
regulations, some of which are discussed below.
The Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) is intended to
encourage insured depository institutions, while operating
safely and soundly, to help meet the credit needs of their
communities. The CRA specifically directs the federal regulatory
agencies, in examining insured depository institutions, to
assess a banks record of helping meet the credit needs of
its entire community, including low- and moderate-income
neighborhoods, consistent with safe and sound banking practices.
The CRA further requires the agencies to take a financial
institutions record of meeting its community credit needs
into account when evaluating applications for, among other
things, domestic branches, mergers or acquisitions, or holding
company formations. The agencies use the CRA assessment factors
in order to provide a rating to the financial institution. The
ratings range from a high of outstanding to a low of
substantial noncompliance. In its last examination
for CRA compliance, as of February 19, 2002, the Bank was
rated satisfactory.
The Fair Credit Reporting Act, as amended by the Fair and
Accurate Credit Transactions Act, or FACT, requires financial
firms to help deter identity theft, including developing
appropriate fraud response programs, and give consumers more
control of their credit data. It also reauthorizes a federal ban
on state laws that interfere with corporate credit granting and
marketing practices. In connection with FACT, financial
institution regulatory agencies proposed rules that would
prohibit an institution from using certain information about a
consumer it received from an affiliate to make a solicitation to
the consumer, unless the consumer has been notified and given a
chance to opt out of such solicitations. A consumers
election to opt out would be applicable for at least five years.
The Check Clearing for the 21st Century Act, or
Check 21, facilitates check truncation and electronic check
exchange by authorizing a new negotiable instrument called a
substitute check, which is the legal equivalent of
an original check. Check 21, effective October 28,
2004, does not require banks to create substitute checks or
accept checks electronically; however, it does require banks to
accept a legally equivalent substitute check in place of an
original.
The Equal Credit Opportunity Act, or ECOA, generally prohibits
discrimination in any credit transaction, whether for consumer
or business purposes, on the basis of race, color, religion,
national origin, sex, marital status, age (except in limited
circumstances), receipt of income from public assistance
programs, or good faith exercise of any rights under the
Consumer Credit Protection Act.
7
The Truth in Lending Act, or TILA, is designed to ensure that
credit terms are disclosed in a meaningful way so that consumers
may compare credit terms more readily and knowledgeably. As a
result of the TILA, all creditors must use the same credit
terminology to express rates and payments, including the annual
percentage rate, the finance charge, the amount financed, the
total of payments and the payment schedule, among other things.
The Fair Housing Act, or FH Act, regulates many practices,
including making it unlawful for any lender to discriminate in
its housing-related lending activities against any person
because of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, handicap
or familial status. A number of lending practices have been
found by the courts to be, or may be considered, illegal under
the FH Act, including some that are not specifically mentioned
in the FH Act itself.
The Home Mortgage Disclosure Act, or HMDA, grew out of public
concern over credit shortages in certain urban neighborhoods and
provides public information that will help show whether
financial institutions are serving the housing credit needs of
the neighborhoods and communities in which they are located. The
HMDA also includes a fair lending aspect that
requires the collection and disclosure of data about applicant
and borrower characteristics as a way of identifying possible
discriminatory lending patterns and enforcing
anti-discrimination statutes.
The term predatory lending, much like the terms
safety and soundness and unfair and deceptive
practices, is far-reaching and covers a potentially broad
range of behavior. As such, it does not lend itself to a concise
or a comprehensive definition. But typically predatory lending
involves at least one, and perhaps all three, of the following
elements:
|
|
|
|
|
making unaffordable loans based on the assets of the borrower
rather than on the borrowers ability to repay an
obligation (asset-based lending) |
|
|
|
inducing a borrower to refinance a loan repeatedly in order to
charge high points and fees each time the loan is refinanced
(loan flipping) |
|
|
|
engaging in fraud or deception to conceal the true nature of the
loan obligation from an unsuspecting or unsophisticated borrower. |
FRB regulations aimed at curbing such lending significantly
widen the pool of high-cost home-secured loans covered by the
Home Ownership and Equity Protection Act of 1994, a federal law
that requires extra disclosures and consumer protections to
borrowers. Lenders that violate the rules face cancellation of
loans and penalties equal to the finance charges paid.
Finally, the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, or RESPA,
requires lenders to provide borrowers with disclosures regarding
the nature and cost of real estate settlements. Also, RESPA
prohibits certain abusive practices, such as kickbacks, and
places limitations on the amount of escrow accounts. Penalties
under the above laws may include fines, reimbursements and other
penalties. Due to heightened regulatory concern related to
compliance with the CRA, TILA, FH Act, ECOA, HMDA and RESPA
generally, the bank may incur additional compliance costs or be
required to expend additional funds for investments in its local
community.
Federal banking rules limit the ability of banks and other
financial institutions to disclose non-public information about
consumers to nonaffiliated third parties. Pursuant to these
rules, financial institutions must provide:
|
|
|
|
|
initial notices to customers about their privacy policies,
describing the conditions under which they may disclose
nonpublic personal information to nonaffiliated third parties
and affiliates; |
|
|
|
annual notices of their privacy policies to current
customers; and |
|
|
|
a reasonable method for customers to opt out of
disclosures to nonaffiliated third parties. |
8
These privacy provisions affect how consumer information is
transmitted through diversified financial companies and conveyed
to outside vendors. We have implemented our privacy policies in
accordance with the law.
In recent years, a number of states have implemented their own
versions of privacy laws. For example, in 2004, California
adopted standards that are tougher than federal law, allowing
bank customers the opportunity to bar financial companies from
sharing information with their affiliates. As a California
charted bank, we are required to follow these more restrictive
standards.

Interagency Guidance on Response Programs to Protect
Against Identity Theft |
On August 12, 2004, the Federal bank and thrift regulatory
agencies requested public comment on proposed guidance that
would require financial institutions to develop programs to
respond to incidents of unauthorized access to customer
information, including procedures for notifying customers under
certain circumstances. The proposed guidance:
|
|
|
|
|
interprets previously issued interagency customer information
security guidelines that require financial institutions to
implement information security programs designed to protect
their customers information; and |
|
|
|
describes the components of a response program and sets a
standard for providing notice to customers affected by
unauthorized access to or use of customer information that could
result in substantial harm or inconvenience to those customers,
thereby reducing the risk of losses due to fraud or identity
theft. |
We are not able at this time to determine the impact of any such
proposed guidance on our financial condition or results of
operation.
|
|
|
Dividends and Other Transfers of Funds |
Dividends from the Bank constitute the principal source of
income to CVB. CVB is a legal entity separate and distinct from
the Bank. A FRB policy statement on the payment of cash
dividends states that a bank holding company should pay cash
dividends only to the extent that the holding companys net
income for the past year is sufficient to cover both the cash
dividends and a rate of earnings retention that is consistent
with the holding companys capital needs, asset quality and
overall financial condition. The FRB also indicated that it
would be inappropriate for a company experiencing serious
financial problems to borrow funds to pay dividends.
Furthermore, under the federal prompt corrective action
regulations, the FRB may prohibit a bank holding company from
paying any dividends if the holding companys bank
subsidiary is classified as undercapitalized. See
Prompt Corrective Action and Other Enforcement
Mechanisms below.
The Bank is subject to various statutory and regulatory
restrictions on its ability to pay dividends to CVB. Under such
restrictions, the amount available for payment of dividends to
CVB by the Bank totaled $75.0 million at December 31,
2004. In addition, the Banks regulators have the authority
to prohibit the Bank from paying dividends, depending upon the
Banks financial condition, if such payment is deemed to
constitute an unsafe or unsound practice.
|
|
|
Extension of Credit to Insiders and Transactions with
Affiliates |
The Federal Reserve Act and FRB Regulation O place
limitations and conditions on loans or extensions of credit to:
|
|
|
|
|
a banks or bank holding companys executive officers,
directors and principal shareholders (i.e., in most cases, those
persons who own, control or have power to vote more than 10% of
any class of voting securities), |
|
|
|
any company controlled by any such executive officer, director
or shareholder, or |
|
|
|
any political or campaign committee controlled by such executive
officer, director or principal shareholder. |
9
Loans and leases extended to any of the above persons must
comply with loan-to-one-borrower limits, require prior full
board approval when aggregate extensions of credit to the person
exceed specified amounts, must be made on substantially the same
terms (including interest rates and collateral) as, and follow
credit-underwriting procedures that are not less stringent than,
those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with
non-insiders, and must not involve more than the normal risk of
repayment or present other unfavorable features. In addition,
Regulation O provides that the aggregate limit on
extensions of credit to all insiders of a bank as a group cannot
exceed the banks unimpaired capital and unimpaired
surplus. Regulation O also prohibits a bank from paying an
overdraft on an account of an executive officer or director,
except pursuant to a written pre-authorized interest-bearing
extension of credit plan that specifies a method of repayment or
a written pre-authorized transfer of funds from another account
of the officer or director at the bank.
The Bank is subject to certain restrictions imposed by federal
law on any extensions of credit to, or the issuance of a
guarantee or letter of credit on behalf of, CVB and other
affiliates, the purchase of, or investments in, stock or other
securities thereof, the taking of such securities as collateral
for loans, and the purchase of assets of CVB and other
affiliates. Such restrictions prevent CVB and other affiliates
from borrowing from the Bank unless the loans are secured by
marketable obligations of designated amounts. Further, such
secured loans and investments by the Bank to or in CVB or to or
in any other affiliates are limited, individually, to 10.0% of
the Banks capital and surplus (as defined by federal
regulations), and such secured loans and investments are
limited, in the aggregate, to 20.0% of our capital and surplus.
Some of the entities included in the definition of an affiliate
are parent companies, sister banks, sponsored and advised
companies, investment companies whereby the banks
affiliate serves as investment advisor, and financial
subsidiaries of the bank. Additional restrictions on
transactions with affiliates may be imposed on us under the
prompt corrective action provisions of federal law. See
Prompt Corrective Action and Other Enforcement
Mechanisms.
The federal banking agencies have adopted risk-based minimum
capital guidelines intended to provide a measure of capital that
reflects the degree of risk associated with a banking
organizations operations for both transactions reported on
the balance sheet as assets and transactions which are recorded
as off-balance sheet items. Under these guidelines, nominal
dollar amounts of assets and credit equivalent amounts of
off-balance sheet items are multiplied by one of several risk
adjustment percentages, which range from 0% for assets with low
credit risk federal banking agencies, to 100% for assets with
relatively high credit risk.
The risk-based capital ratio is determined by classifying assets
and certain off-balance sheet financial instruments into
weighted categories, with higher levels of capital being
required for those categories perceived as representing greater
risk. Under the capital guidelines, a banking
organizations total capital is divided into tiers.
Tier I capital consists of (1) common
equity, (2) qualifying noncumulative perpetual preferred
stock, (3) a limited amount of qualifying cumulative
perpetual preferred stock and (4) minority interests in the
equity accounts of consolidated subsidiaries (including
trust-preferred securities), less goodwill and certain other
intangible assets. Not more than 25% of qualifying Tier I
capital may consist of trust-preferred securities.
Tier II capital consists of hybrid capital
instruments, perpetual debt, mandatory convertible debt
securities, a limited amount of subordinated debt, preferred
stock that does not qualify as Tier I capital, a limited
amount of the allowance for loan and lease losses and a limited
amount of unrealized holding gains on equity securities.
Tier III capital consists of qualifying
unsecured subordinated debt. The sum of Tier II and
Tier III capital may not exceed the amount of Tier I
capital.
The guidelines require a minimum ratio of qualifying total
capital to risk-adjusted assets of 8% and a minimum ratio of
Tier I capital to risk-adjusted assets of 4%. In addition
to the risk-based guidelines, federal banking regulators require
banking organizations to maintain a minimum amount of
Tier I capital to total assets, referred to as the leverage
ratio. For a banking organization rated in the highest of the
five categories used by regulators to rate banking
organizations, the minimum leverage ratio of Tier I capital
to total assets must be 3%. In addition to these uniform
risk-based capital guidelines and leverage ratios that apply
across the industry, the regulators have the discretion to set
individual minimum capital requirements for specific
10
institutions at rates significantly above the minimum guidelines
and ratios. A bank that does not achieve and maintain the
required capital levels may be issued a capital directive, by
the FDIC, to ensure the maintenance of required capital levels.
The following table presents the amounts of regulatory capital
and the capital ratios for the Company, compared to its minimum
regulatory capital requirements as of December 31, 2004:

In addition, federal banking regulators may set capital
requirements higher than the minimums described above for
financial institutions whose circumstances warrant it. For
example, a financial institution experiencing or anticipating
significant growth may be expected to maintain capital positions
substantially above the minimum supervisory levels without
significant reliance on intangible assets.
On March 2, 2005, the FRB adopted a final rule that retains
trust preferred securities in the tier 1 capital of bank holding
companies, but with stricter quantitative limits and clearer
qualitative standards. Under the rule, after a five year
transition period, the aggregate amount of trust preferred
securities and certain other capital elements will be limited to
25 percent of tier 1 capital elements, net of goodwill,
less any associated deferred tax liability. The amount of trust
preferred securities and certain other elements in excess of the
limit could be included in tier 2 capital, subject to
restrictions. Internationally active bank holding companies
would generally be expected to limit trust preferred securities
and certain other capital elements to 15 percent of tier 1
capital elements, net of goodwill less any associated deferred
tax liability. In the last five years before maturity, the
outstanding amount must be excluded from tier 1 capital and
included in tier 2 capital. We are currently evaluating this new
regulation, but do not expect this rule to have a materially
adverse effect on our capital positions.

Prompt Corrective Action and Other Enforcement
Mechanisms |
Federal banking agencies possess broad powers to take corrective
and other supervisory action to resolve the problems of insured
depository institutions, including but not limited to those
institutions that fall below one or more prescribed minimum
capital ratios. Each federal banking agency has promulgated
regulations defining the following five categories in which an
insured depository institution will be placed, based on its
capital ratios: well capitalized, adequately capitalized,
undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized, and critically
undercapitalized. At December 31, 2004, both the Bank and
CVB exceeded the required ratios for classification as
well capitalized.
An institution that, based upon its capital levels, is
classified as well capitalized, adequately capitalized, or
undercapitalized may be treated as though it were in the next
lower capital category if the appropriate federal banking
agency, after notice and opportunity for hearing, determines
that an unsafe or unsound condition or an unsafe or unsound
practice warrants such treatment. At each successive lower
capital category, an insured
11
depository institution is subject to more restrictions. The
federal banking agencies, however, may not treat a significantly
undercapitalized institution as critically undercapitalized
unless its capital ratio actually warrants such treatment.
In addition to measures taken under the prompt corrective action
provisions, commercial banking organizations may be subject to
potential enforcement actions by the federal regulators for
unsafe or unsound practices in conducting their businesses or
for violations of any law, rule, regulation, or any condition
imposed in writing by the agency or any written agreement with
the agency. Finally, pursuant to an interagency agreement, the
FDIC can examine any institution that has a substandard
regulatory examination score or is considered
undercapitalized without the express permission of
the institutions primary regulator.
|
|
|
Safety and Soundness Standards |
The federal banking agencies have adopted guidelines designed to
assist the federal banking agencies in identifying and
addressing potential safety and soundness concerns before
capital becomes impaired. The guidelines set forth operational
and managerial standards relating to: (i) internal
controls, information systems and internal audit systems,
(ii) loan documentation, (iii) credit underwriting,
(iv) asset growth, (v) earnings, and
(vi) compensation, fees and benefits. In addition, the
federal banking agencies have also adopted safety and soundness
guidelines with respect to asset quality and earnings standards.
These guidelines provide six standards for establishing and
maintaining a system to identify problem assets and prevent
those assets from deteriorating. Under these standards, an
insured depository institution should: (i) conduct periodic
asset quality reviews to identify problem assets,
(ii) estimate the inherent losses in problem assets and
establish reserves that are sufficient to absorb estimated
losses, (iii) compare problem asset totals to capital,
(iv) take appropriate corrective action to resolve problem
assets, (v) consider the size and potential risks of
material asset concentrations, and (vi) provide periodic
asset quality reports with adequate information for management
and the Board of Directors to assess the level of asset risk.
These new guidelines also set forth standards for evaluating and
monitoring earnings and for ensuring that earnings are
sufficient for the maintenance of adequate capital and reserves.

|
Premiums for Deposit Insurance |
Through the Bank Insurance Fund (BIF), the FDIC
insures the deposits of the Bank up to prescribed limits for
each depositor. The amount of FDIC assessments paid by each BIF
member institution is based on its relative risk of default as
measured by regulatory capital ratios and other factors.
Specifically, the assessment rate is based on the
institutions capitalization risk category and supervisory
subgroup category. An institutions capitalization risk
category is based on the FDICs determination of whether
the institution is well capitalized, adequately capitalized or
less than adequately capitalized. An institutions
supervisory subgroup category is based on the FDICs
assessment of the financial condition of the institution and the
probability that FDIC intervention or other corrective action
will be required.
FDIC-insured depository institutions pay an assessment rate
equal to the rate assessed on deposits insured by the Savings
Association Insurance Fund (SAIF). The assessment
rate currently ranges from zero to 27 cents per $100 of
domestic deposits. The FDIC may increase or decrease the
assessment rate schedule on a semi-annual basis. Due to
continued growth in deposits and some recent bank failures, the
BIF is nearing its minimum ratio of 1.25% of insured deposits as
mandated by law. If the ratio drops below 1.25%, it is likely
the FDIC will be required to assess premiums on all banks. Any
increase in assessments or the assessment rate could have a
material adverse effect on the companys earnings,
depending on the amount of the increase. Furthermore, the FDIC
is authorized to raise insurance premiums under certain
circumstances.
The FDIC is authorized to terminate a depository
institutions deposit insurance upon a finding by the FDIC
that the institutions financial condition is unsafe or
unsound or that the institution has engaged in unsafe or unsound
practices or has violated any applicable rule, regulation, order
or condition enacted or imposed by the institutions
regulatory agency. The termination of deposit insurance for the
Companys subsidiary depository institutions could have a
material adverse effect on the Companys earnings.
12
All FDIC-insured depository institutions must pay an annual
assessment to provide funds for the payment of interest on bonds
issued by the Financing Corporation, a federal corporation
chartered under the authority of the Federal Housing Finance
Board. The bonds, commonly referred to as FICO bonds, were
issued to capitalize the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance
Corporation. The FDIC established the FICO assessment rates
effective for the first half of 2005 at approximately $1.54
cents for each $100 of assessable deposits. The FICO assessments
are adjusted quarterly to reflect changes in the assessment
bases of the FDICs insurance funds and do not vary
depending on a depository institutions capitalization or
supervisory evaluations.

|
Interstate Banking and Branching |
Banks have the ability, subject to certain State restrictions,
to acquire by acquisition or merger branches outside their home
state. The establishment of new interstate branches is also
possible in those states with laws that expressly permit it.
Interstate branches are subject to certain laws of the states in
which they are located. Competition may increase further as
banks branch across state lines and enter new markets.
|
|
|
Federal Home Loan Bank System |
The Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of
San Francisco. Among other benefits, each FHLB serves as a
reserve or central bank for its members within its assigned
region. Each FHLB is financed primarily from the sale of
consolidated obligations of the FHLB system. Each FHLB makes
available loans or advances to its members in compliance with
the policies and procedures established by the Board of
Directors of the individual FHLB. As an FHLB member, we are
required to own capital stock in the FHLB in an amount equal to
the greater of:
|
|
|
|
|
1% of its aggregate outstanding principal amount of its
residential mortgage loans, home purchase contracts and similar
obligations at the beginning of each calendar year; or |
|
|
|
5% of its FHLB advances or borrowings. |
At December 31, 2004, we were in compliance with the stock
requirements.
The Federal Reserve Board requires all depository institutions
to maintain non-interest bearing reserves at specified levels
against their transaction accounts (primarily checking, NOW, and
Super NOW checking accounts) and non-personal time deposits. At
December 31, 2004, we were in compliance with these
requirements.
The Companys non-bank subsidiaries also are subject to
regulation by the FRB and other applicable federal and state
agencies. Other non-bank subsidiaries of the Company are subject
to the laws and regulations of both the federal government and
the various states in which they conduct business.
Risk Factors That May Affect Future Results
In addition to other information contained in this report, the
following discusses certain factors which may adversely affect
our business financial results and operations and should
be considered in evaluating the Company.
Our Southern California business focus and economic
conditions in Southern California could adversely affect our
operations. Our operations are located in
San Bernardino County, Riverside County, Orange County,
Fresno County, Tulare County, Kern County, and the eastern
portion of Los Angeles County in Southern California. As a
result of this geographic concentration, our results depend
largely upon economic conditions in these areas. A deterioration
in economic conditions or a natural or manmade disaster in our
13
market area or in California generally could have a material
adverse impact on the quality of our loan portfolio, the demand
for our products and services, and our financial condition and
results of operations.
Changes in market interest rates could adversely affect our
earnings. Our earnings are impacted by changing interest
rates. Changes in interest rates impact the level of loans,
deposits and investments, the credit profile of existing loans
and the rates received on loans and securities and the rates
paid on deposits and borrowings. Significant fluctuations in
interest rates may have a material adverse affect on our
financial condition and results of operations.
We are subject to government regulations that could limit or
restrict our activities, which in turn could adversely impact
our operations. The financial services industry is subject
to extensive federal and state supervision and regulation.
Significant new laws or changes in existing laws, or repeals of
existing laws may cause our results to differ materially.
Further, federal monetary policy, particularly as implemented
through the Federal Reserve System, significantly affects credit
conditions for us and a material change in these conditions
could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition
and results of operations.
Competition may adversely affect our performance. The
banking and financial services businesses in our market areas
are highly competitive. We face competition in attracting
deposits and in making loans. The increasingly competitive
environment is a result of changes in regulation, changes in
technology and product delivery systems, and the accelerating
pace of consolidation among financial services providers. The
results of the Company in the future may differ depending the
nature or level of competition.
If a significant number of borrowers, guarantors and related
parties fail to perform as required by the terms of their loans,
we will sustain losses. A significant source of risk arises
from the possibility that losses will be sustained because
borrowers, guarantors and related parties may fail to perform in
accordance with the terms of their loans. We have adopted
underwriting and credit monitoring procedures and credit
policies, including the establishment and review of the
allowance for credit losses, that management believes are
appropriate to minimize this risk by assessing the likelihood of
nonperformance, tracking loan performance and diversifying our
credit portfolio. These policies and procedures, however, may
not prevent unexpected losses that could have a material adverse
effect on our results of operations.
We may face other risks. From time to time, we detail
other risks with respect to our business and/or financial
results in our filings with the Commission.

unaffiliated third party with a lease term of three years and
can exercise an option that could extend the lease through 2010.
14
At December 31, 2004, the Bank occupied the premises for
twenty-nine of its offices under leases expiring at various
dates from 2004 through 2015, at which time we can exercise
options that could extend certain leases through 2027. We own
the premises for nine of our offices, including our data center.
With the addition of the two offices from the acquisition of
Granite State Bank, we will have thirty offices under lease and
ten offices that we own.

|
Item 3. |
Legal Proceedings |
From time to time the Company and the Bank are parties to claims
and legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of
business. After taking into consideration information furnished
by counsel, we believe that the ultimate aggregate liability
represented thereby, if any, will not have a material adverse
effect on our consolidated financial position or results of
operations.
In early 2004, we suffered a break-in at one of our business
financial centers. The break-in resulted in a loss to our
customers of items located in their safe deposit boxes. We had
been compensating our customers for their losses with the
acknowledgement of our insurance company that they were not
confirming or denying coverage to us under our insurance
policies. In early fall, the insurance company ceased approving
claims. Over the last quarter of 2004, it became apparent to us
that the insurance company would deny coverage of our claims.
Therefore, we decided to reserve $2.2 million as an
estimate of the claims yet to be paid. We are currently
determining what legal action to take against the insurance
company.

Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and the Results of Operations |
GENERAL
Managements discussion and analysis is written to provide
greater detail of the results of operations and the financial
condition of CVB Financial Corp. and its subsidiaries. This
analysis should be read in conjunction with the audited
financial statements contained within this report including the
notes thereto.
OVERVIEW
We are a bank holding company with one bank subsidiary, Citizens
Business Bank. We have two other active subsidiaries, Community
Trust Deed Services, which is owned by CVB Financial Corp.
and Golden West Enterprises, Inc, which is owned by the Bank. We
have three other inactive subsidiaries: CVB Ventures, Inc.;
Chino Valley Bancorp and ONB Bancorp. We are also the common
stockholder of CVB Statutory Trust I and CVB Statutory
Trust II, which were created in December 2003 to issue
trust preferred securities in order to increase the capital of
the Company. We are based in Ontario, California in what is
known as the Inland Empire. Our geographical market
area encompasses Fresno (the middle of the Central Valley) in
the center of California to Laguna Beach (in Orange County) in
the southern portion of California. Our mission is to offer the
finest financial products and services to professionals and
businesses in our market area.
Our primary source of income is from the interest earned on our
loans and investments and our primary area of expense is the
interest paid on deposits and borrowings. As such our net income
is subject to fluctuations in interest rates and their impact on
our income statement. We believe the recent rise in interest
rates may relieve some of the pressure on our net interest
margin. We are also subject to competition from other financial
institutions, which may affect our pricing of products and
services, and the fees and interest rates we can charge on them.
Economic conditions in our California service area impact our
business. The economy of this area has not experienced the
decline that other areas of the state and country have witnessed
during the past few years. The job market continues to
strengthen in the Central Valley and Inland Empire. However, we
are still subject to any changes in the economy in our market
area. Although we do not provide mortgages on single-family
residences, we still benefit from construction growth in
Southern California since we provide construction loans to
builders. Southern California is experiencing growth in
construction on single-family residences and commercial
buildings, and our balance sheet at December 31, 2004
reflects that growth from December 31, 2003.
Over the past few years, we have been active in acquisitions.
Since 1999, we have acquired three banks and a leasing company,
and we have opened three de novo branches; Glendale, Bakersfield
and Fresno. In 2001 we implemented our Central Valley
Initiative which is intended to grow our presence in the
southern Central Valley of California. This area has a large
agribusiness economy and fits in well with the agribusiness
lending we already have in the Bank. This portion of the state
is the largest agricultural area in the nation. We began this
initiative in December of 2001 with the opening of our
Bakersfield Business Financial Center. We added another de novo
branch in Fresno in the second quarter of 2003. Our acquisition
of Kaweah National Bank in September 2003 with branches in
Visalia, Tulare, Porterville and McFarland further complimented
the initiative.
19
Since 1999, we have also opened three de novo branches. While we
continue to evaluate acquisitions, we intend to focus on organic
growth. The year 2004 was a year of organic growth since we made
no acquisitions. Our assets grew $656.7 million or 17.04%
to $4.51 billion from December 31, 2003 to
December 31, 2004. Net loans grew $378.9 million or
21.79% to $2.12 billion and deposits grew
$214.5 million or 8.06% to $2.88 billion during the
same period.
Our growth in loans and investments during 2004 compared with
2003 has allowed our interest income to grow in 2004 as compared
to the same period in the preceding year even though there was a
decline in the interest rate environment between these periods.
We did increase our borrowings from the FHLB in 2004 to assist
in the growth of investments and the related interest income on
these investments. The result of the increase in loan,
investment and deposit balances and overall decline in interest
rates resulted in an increase of net interest income to
$151.2 million in 2004 from $129.3 million in 2003.
However, the decline in interest rates reduced the net interest
margin tax equivalent to 3.99% from 4.18% in 2003.
The Bank has always had a base of interest free deposits because
we specialize in businesses and professionals as deposit
customers. This has allowed us to have a low cost of deposits,
currently at 0.56% for 2004.
In 2004 and 2003, we restructured a portion of our investment
portfolio in anticipation of a rising interest rate environment.
This restructuring had the effect of shortening the duration of
the portfolio and we realized security gains of
$5.2 million in 2004 and $4.2 million in 2003. The
purpose of the restructuring was to sell those securities which
would not perform well in a rising rate environment. The
shortening in the duration of the portfolio will allow for an
increase in cash flow or liquidity so that the reinvestment of
the cash flow will occur at higher rates.
During the first quarter of 2004, we wrote down the carrying
value of two issues of Federal Home Loan Mortgage Association
preferred stock. These securities pay dividends based on LIBOR
and perform like a bond. Since there was a loss of value that
was deemed other-than-temporary, we charged $6.3 million
against the earnings in the first quarter of 2004 to adjust for
the impairment of the issues of preferred securities. This was
partially offset by the $5.2 million in security gains
taken in the second quarter 2004. We took these gains on short
maturity securities before rates rose and the gains disappeared.
In the third quarter of 2004, we sold a building that housed the
Business Financial Center and our Wealth Management Group. We
are leasing this space back from the purchaser of the building.
We had a gain of $1.9 million from this transaction. Under
accounting principles, we could only recognize the gain on that
portion of the building that we previously leased to third
parties in current year income. This resulted in gain
recognition of $490,000 in 2004. The remaining portion of the
gain, $1.5 million, is being amortized over the lives of
the leases we have for the Business Financial Center and the
Wealth Management Group.
During the fourth quarter 2004, we acquired a new building for
our data center. We out-grew our old data center, which we also
owned. We are in the process of improving the facility and will
move to the new location in the second quarter of 2005.
Subsequent to that move, we intend to sell our old data center
property.
Our total occupancy expense, exclusive of furniture and
equipment expense, for the year ended December 31, 2004,
was $7.9 million. We believe that our existing facilities
are adequate for our present purposes. The Company believes that
if necessary, it could secure suitable alternative facilities on
similar terms without adversely affecting operations. For
additional information concerning properties, see Notes 6
and 11 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
included in this report. See Item 8. Financial
Statements and Supplemental Data.
Our net income increased to $61.5 million in 2004 compared
with $52.8 million in 2003, an increase of
$8.7 million or 16.38%. Diluted earnings per share, when
restated for the five-for-four stock split declared in December
2004, increased $.14 from $0.86 in 2003 to $1.00 in 2004.
On October 21, 2004, the Company signed an agreement to
acquire Granite State Bank, with deposits of approximately
$101.9 million and net loans of approximately
$63.9 million. The transaction was completed on
February 25, 2005. The purchase price was approximately
$27.0 million including costs associated with the
cancellation of stock options. In connection with the
acquisition, we issued 708,554 shares of our common stock
and paid $13.3 million in cash.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
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 our most
critical accounting policies upon which our financial condition
depends, and which involve the most complex or subjective
decisions or assessment, are as follows:
Allowance for Credit Losses: Arriving at an appropriate
level of allowance for credit losses involves a high degree of
judgment. Our allowance for credit losses provides for probable
losses based upon evaluations of known and inherent risks in the
loan and lease portfolio. The determination of the balance in
the allowance for credit losses is based on an analysis of the
loan and lease finance receivables portfolio using a systematic
methodology and reflects an amount that, in our judgment, is
adequate to provide for probable credit losses inherent in the
portfolio, after giving consideration to the character of the
loan portfolio, current economic conditions, past credit loss
experience, and such other factors as deserve current
recognition in estimating inherent credit losses. The provision
for credit losses is charged to expense. For a full discussion
of our methodology of assessing the adequacy of the allowance
for loan losses, see Risk Management in Item 7
Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operation.
Investment Portfolio: The investment portfolio is an
integral part of our financial performance. We invest primarily
in fixed income securities. Accounting estimates are used in the
presentation of the investment portfolio and these estimates do
impact the presentation of our financial condition and results
of operations. Many of the securities included in the investment
portfolio are purchased at a premium or discount. The premiums
or discounts are amortized or accreted over the life of the
security. For mortgage-backed securities, the amortization or
accretion is based on estimated average lives of the securities.
The lives of these securities can fluctuate based on the amount
of prepayments received on the underlying collateral of the
securities. The amount of prepayments varies from time to time
based on the interest rate environment (i.e., lower interest
rates increase the likelihood of refinances) and the rate of
turn over of the mortgages (i.e., how often the underlying
properties are sold and mortgages paid-off). We use estimates
for the average lives of these mortgage backed securities based
on information received from third parties whose business it is
to compile mortgage related data and develop a consensus of that
data. We adjust the rate of amortization or accretion regularly
to reflect changes in the estimated average lives of these
securities.
We classify securities as held-to-maturity those debt securities
that we have the positive intent and ability to hold to
maturity. Securities classified as trading are those securities
that are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling
them in the near term. All other debt and equity securities are
classified as available-for-sale. Securities held-to-maturity
are accounted for at cost and adjusted for amortization of
premiums and accretion of discounts. Trading securities are
accounted for at fair value with the unrealized holding gains
and losses being included in current earnings. Securities
available-for-sale are accounted for at fair value, with the net
unrealized gains and losses, net of income tax effects,
presented as a separate component of stockholders equity.
At each reporting date, available-for-sale and held-to-maturity
securities are assessed to determine whether there is an
other-than-temporary impairment. Such impairment, if any, is
required to be recognized in current earnings rather than as a
separate component of stockholders equity. Realized gains
and losses on sales of securities are recognized in earnings at
the time of sale and are determined on a specific-identification
basis. Purchase premiums and discounts are recognized in
interest income using the interest method over the terms of the
securities. Our investment in Federal Home Loan Bank
(FHLB) stock is carried at cost.
Income Taxes: We account for income taxes by deferring
income taxes based on estimated future tax effects of temporary
differences between the tax and book basis of assets and
liabilities considering the provisions of enacted tax laws.
These differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities,
which are included on our balance sheets. We must also assess
the likelihood that any deferred tax assets will be recovered
from future taxable income and establish a valuation allowance
for those assets determined to not likely be recoverable. Our
judgment is required in determining the amount and timing of
recognition of the resulting deferred tax assets and
liabilities, including projections of future taxable income.
Although we have determined a valuation allowance is not
required for all deferred tax assets, there is no guarantee that
these assets are recoverable.
21
Goodwill and Intangible Assets: We have acquired entire
banks and branches of banks. Those acquisitions accounted for
under the purchase method of accounting have given rise to
goodwill and intangible assets. We record the assets acquired
and liabilities assumed at their fair value. These fair values
are arrived at by use of internal and external valuation
techniques. The excess purchase price is allocated to assets and
liabilities respectively, resulting in identified intangibles.
The identified intangibles are amortized over the estimated
lives of the assets or liabilities. Any excess purchase price
after this allocation results in goodwill. Goodwill is tested on
an annual basis for impairment.
ANALYSIS OF THE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Earnings
We reported net earnings of $61.5 million for the year
ended December 31, 2004. This represented an increase of
$8.7 million, or 16.38%, over net earnings of
$52.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2003.
Net earnings for 2003 increased $3.1 million to
$52.8 million, or 6.21%, over net earnings of
$49.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2002.
Diluted earnings per share were $1.00 in 2004, $0.86 in 2003,
and $0.81 in 2002. Basic earnings per share were $1.02 in 2004,
$0.88 in 2003, and $0.83 in 2002. Diluted and basic earnings per
share have been adjusted for the effects of a 5-for-4 stock
split declared December 15, 2004, which became effective
December 29, 2004, a 10% stock dividend declared
December 17, 2003 and paid in January 2004, and a 5-for-4
stock split declared December 18, 2002, which became
effective January 3, 2003.
The increase in net earnings for 2004 compared to 2003 was the
result of an increase in net interest income offset by an
increase in other operating expenses and decrease in other
operating income. The decrease in other operating income was due
in part to the $6.3 million write down for other than
temporary impairment on securities and a reserve of
$2.2 million established in connection with a robbery loss.
The increase in net earnings for 2003 compared to 2002 was the
result of an increase in net interest income and in other
operating income. This increase was also partially offset by the
increase in other operating expenses. Increased net interest
income for 2004, 2003 and 2002 reflected higher volumes of
average earning assets for each year due to internal and
external growth in our business.
For 2004, our return on average assets was 1.47%, compared to
1.54% for 2003, and 1.83% for 2002. Our return on average
stockholders equity was 20.33% for 2004, compared to a
return of 19.17% for 2003, and 20.45% for 2002.
Net earnings, excluding the impact of gains or losses on sale of
investment securities, gain on sale of real estate,
other-than-temporary impairment write down, and the estimated
robbery loss, totaled $63.5 million for 2004. This
represented an increase of $12.1 million, or 23.61%,
compared to net earnings, excluding the impact of gains or
losses on sale of investment securities, the prepayment penalty
for FHLB advances, and the reversed excess legal fee accrual, of
$51.4 million for 2003. This represented an increase
$4.8 million, or 10.31%, from net earnings, excluding the
impact of gains or losses on sale of investment securities, of
$46.6 million for 2002.
The following table reconciles the differences in net earnings
with and without the net gains on sales of investment
securities, net gain on sale of real estate,
other-than-temporary impairment write down, the estimated
robbery loss, the prepayment penalty, and the reversed excess
legal fee accrual (there is no provision
22
for credit and OREO losses recorded in 2004, 2003, and 2002) in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America:

We have presented net earnings with and without the net gains on
sales of investment securities, net gain on sale of real estate,
other-than-temporary impairment write down, the estimated
robbery loss, the prepayment penalty, and the reversed excess
legal fee accrual to show shareholders the earnings from our
banking operations unaffected by the impact of these items. We
believe this presentation allows the reader to more easily
determine the operational profit of the Company with respect to
its primary business.
Net Interest Income
The principal component of our earnings is net interest income,
which is the difference between the interest and fees earned on
loans and investments (earning assets) and the interest paid on
deposits and borrowed funds (interest-bearing liabilities). When
net interest income is expressed as a percentage of average
earning assets, the result is the net interest margin. The net
interest spread is the yield on average earning assets minus the
cost of average interest-bearing liabilities. Our net interest
income, interest spread, and net interest margin are sensitive
to general business and economic conditions. These conditions
include short-term and long-term interest rates, inflation,
monetary supply, and the strength of the economy, in general,
and the local economies in which we conduct business. Our
ability to manage the net interest income during changing
interest rate environments will have a significant impact on its
overall performance. We manage net interest income through
affecting changes in the mix of earning assets as well as the
mix of interest-bearing liabilities, changes in the level of
interest-bearing liabilities in proportion to earning assets,
and in the growth of earning assets.
Our net interest income totaled $151.2 million for 2004.
This represented an increase of $21.9 million, or 16.93%,
over net interest income of $129.3 million for 2003. Net
interest income for 2003 increased $15.4 million, or
13.53%, over net interest income of $113.9 million for
2002. The increase in net interest income of $21.9 million
for 2004 resulted from an increase of $31.4 million in
interest income offset by an increase of $9.5 million in
interest expense. The increase in interest income of
$31.4 million resulted from the
23
$692.2 million increase in average earning assets, which
was offset by the decline in yield on earning assets to 5.17% in
2004 from 5.34% in 2003. The increase of $9.5 million in
interest expense resulted from the increase in the average rate
paid on interest-bearing liabilities to 1.76% in 2004 from 1.74%
in 2003, and an increase of $502.0 million in average
interest-bearing liabilities. These interest-bearing liabilities
are primarily borrowings from the FHLB and correspondent banks.
The increase in net interest income of $15.4 million for
2003 as compared to 2002 resulted from an increase of
$12.0 million in interest income and a $3.4 million
reduction in interest expense. This increase in interest income
of $12.0 million resulted from the $672.3 million
increase in average earning assets, offset by the decline in
yield on earning assets to 5.34% in 2003 from 6.24% in 2002.
Interest income totaled $197.7 million for 2004. This
represented an increase of $31.4 million, or 18.85%,
compared to total interest income of $166.3 million for
2003. For 2003, total interest income increased
$12.0 million, or 7.79%, from total interest income of
$154.3 million for 2002. The increase in total interest
income was primarily due to an increase in volume of interest
earning assets and increases in rates in the second half of
2004, offset by a decline in interest rates during 2003.
Interest expense totaled $46.5 million for 2004. This
represented an increase of $9.5 million, or 25.54%, over
total interest expense of $37.1 million for 2003. For 2003,
total interest expense decreased $3.4 million, or 8.37%,
over total interest expense of $40.4 million for 2002.

As stated above, the net interest margin measures net interest
income as a percentage of average earning assets. The net
interest margin is an indication of how effectively we generate
our sources of funds and employ our earning assets. Our tax
effected (TE) net interest margin was 3.99% for 2004,
compared to 4.18% for 2003, and 4.66% for 2002. The decrease in
the net interest margin over the last three years is the result
of a number of factors. The most significant of which include
changes in the mix of assets and liabilities as follows:
|
|
|
|
|
Increase in demand deposits (interest free deposits) as a
percent of earning assets from 30.2% in 2003 to 30.9% in 2004 |
|
|
|
Decrease in demand deposits (interest free deposits) as a
percent of earning assets from 31.6% in 2002 to 30.2% in 2003 |
|
|
|
Increase in interest-bearing liabilities as a percent of earning
assets from 66.0% in 2003 to 67.2% in 2004 |
|
|
|
Increase in interest-bearing liabilities as a percent of earning
assets from 64.1% in 2002 to 66.0% in 2003 |
|
|
|
Decrease in investment securities as a percent of earning assets
from 52.6% in 2003 to 51.4% in 2004 |
|
|
|
Increase in investment securities as a percent of earning assets
from 50.0% in 2002 to 52.6% in 2003 |
|
|
|
Increase in borrowings as a percent of earning assets from 20.8%
in 2003 to 27.7% in 2004 |
|
|
|
Increase in borrowings as a percent of earning assets from 15.1%
in 2002 to 20.8% in 2003 |
|
|
|
Interest expense as a percent of earning assets decreased from
1.6% in 2002 to 1.2% in 2003 and 2004 |
|
|
|
In addition, our net interest margin is impacted by declining
interest rates during 2003 |
It is difficult to attribute the above changes to any one
factor. However, the banking and financial services businesses
in our market areas are highly competitive. This competition has
an influence on the strategies we employ. In addition, the
general decline in interest rates, until the last half of 2004,
had an impact on earnings.
Although the net interest margin has declined, net interest
income has increased. This primarily reflects the growth in
average earning assets from $2.6 billion in 2002, to
$3.2 billion in 2003, and to $3.9 billion in 2004.
This represents a 21.43% increase in 2004 from 2003 and a 26.51%
increase in 2003 from 2002. Net interest income has also been
positively affected by the increase in average earning assets as
a percent of average total assets to 93.57% in 2004, from 93.91%
2003 and 2002.
The net interest spread is the difference between the yield on
average earning assets less the cost of average interest-bearing
liabilities. The net interest spread is an indication of our
ability to manage interest rates received on loans and
investments and paid on deposits and borrowings in a competitive
and changing interest rate environment. Our net interest spread
(TE) was 3.41% for 2004, 3.60% for 2003, and 3.77% for
2002. The decrease in the net interest spread for 2004 as
compared to 2003 resulted from a 17 basis point decrease in
the yield on earning assets and a 2 basis point increase in
the cost of interest-bearing liabilities, thus generating a
19 basis point decrease in the net interest spread. The
decrease in the net interest spread for 2003 resulted from a
90 basis point decrease in the yield on earning assets
offset by a 73 basis point decrease in the cost of
interest-bearing liabilities, thus generating a 17 basis
point decrease in the net interest spread.
The yield (TE) on earning assets decreased to 5.17% for
2004, from 5.34% for 2003, and reflects a decreasing interest
rate environment and a change in the mix of earning assets.
Investments as a percent of earning assets decreased to 51.43%
in 2004 from 52.57% in 2003. The yield on loans for 2004
decreased to 6.01% as compared to 6.47% for 2003 as a result of
the decreasing interest rate environment and competition for
quality loans. The yield on investments for 2004 increased to
4.38% as compared to 4.31% in 2003. The decrease in the yield on
earning assets for 2004 was the result of lower yields on loans
offset by a slight
26
increase in yield on investments. The yield on loans for 2003
decreased to 6.47% as compared to 7.24% for 2002. The decrease
in the yields on loans for 2003 was primarily the result of a
decreased interest rate environment partially offset by
increased price competition for loans compared to 2002.
The cost of average interest-bearing liabilities increased to
1.76% for 2004 as compared to 1.74% for 2003, and decreased to
1.74% for 2003 as compared to 2.47% for 2002. These variations
reflected a change in the mix of interest-bearing liabilities
and a decreasing interest rate environment in 2003 and an
increasing rate environment in the last half of 2004. Borrowings
as a percent of interest-bearing liabilities increased to 41.27%
for 2004 as compared to 31.54% for 2003 and decreased to 31.54%
for 2003 as compared to 23.49% for 2002. Borrowings typically
have a higher cost than interest-bearing deposits. The cost of
interest-bearing deposits for 2004 decreased to 1.00% as
compared to 1.12% for 2003 and decreased to 1.12% as compared to
1.71% for 2002, reflecting the decreasing interest rate
environment offset by competition for interest-bearing deposits.
The cost of borrowings for 2004 decreased to 2.85% as compared
to 3.08% for 2003 and 4.93% for 2002, also reflecting the
decreasing interest rate environment. The FDIC has approved the
payment of interest on certain demand deposit accounts. This
could have a negative impact on our net interest margin, net
interest spread, and net earnings, should this be implemented
fully. Currently, the only deposits for which we pay interest on
are NOW and Money Market Accounts.
Table 2 presents a comparison of interest income and interest
expense resulting from changes in the volumes and rates on
average earning assets and average interest-bearing liabilities
for the years indicated. Changes in interest income or expense
attributable to volume changes are calculated by multiplying the
change in volume by the initial average interest rate. The
change in interest income or expense attributable to changes in
interest rates is calculated by multiplying the change in
interest rate by the initial volume. The changes attributable to
interest rate and volume changes are calculated by multiplying
the change in rate times the change in volume.

Interest and Fees on Loans
Our major source of revenue is interest and fees on loans, which
totaled $114.5 million for 2004. This represented an
increase of $15.5 million, or 15.65%, over interest and
fees on loans of $99.0 million for 2003. For 2003, interest
and fees on loans increased $8.7 million, or 9.62%, over
interest and fees on loans of $90.4 million for 2002. The
increase in interest and fees on loans for 2004 and 2003
reflects increases in the average balance of loans offset by a
lower interest rate environment. The yield on loans decreased to
6.01% for 2004, compared to 6.47% for 2003 and 7.24% for 2002.
Deferred loan origination fees, net of costs, totaled
$14.6 million at December 31, 2004. This represented
an increase of $7.2 million, or 96.9%, from deferred loan
origination fees, net of costs, of $7.4 million at
December 31, 2003.
In general, we stop accruing interest on a loan after its
principal or interest becomes 90 days or more past due.
When a loan is placed on non-accrual, all interest previously
accrued but not collected is charged against earnings. There was
no interest income that was accrued and not reversed on
non-performing loans at December 31, 2004, 2003, and 2002.
For 2004, our non-performing loans were less than $2,000. The
interest that would have been collected was minimal. Had
non-performing loans for which interest was no longer accruing
complied with the original terms and conditions of their notes,
interest income would have been $134,000 greater for 2003, and
$116,000 greater for 2002. Accordingly, yields on loans would
have increased by 0.01% in each of 2003, and 2002.
Fees collected on loans are an integral part of the loan pricing
decision. Loan fees and the direct costs associated with the
origination of loans are deferred and deducted from the loan
balance on our balance sheet. Deferred net loan fees are
recognized in interest income over the term of the loan in a
manner that approximates the level-yield method. We recognized
loan fee income of $7.4 million for 2004, $7.8 million
for 2003 and $5.0 million for 2002.
Table 3 summarizes loan fee activity for the Bank for the years
indicated.

Interest on Investments
The second most important component of interest income is
interest on investments, which totaled $83.2 million for
2004. This represented an increase of $15.9 million, or
23.62%, over interest on investments of $67.3 million for
2003. For 2003, interest on investments increased
$3.9 million, or 6.15%, over interest on investments of
$63.4 million for 2002. The increase in interest on
investments for 2004 and 2003 reflected increases in the average
balance of investments and a slight increase in interest rate in
the latter part of 2004. The interest rate environment and the
investment strategies we employ directly affect the yield on the
investment portfolio. We continually adjust our investment
strategies in response to the changing interest rate
environments in order to maximize the rate of total return
consistent within prudent risk parameters, and to minimize the
overall interest rate risk of the Company. The weighted-average
yield on investments was 4.38% for 2004, compared to 4.31% for
2003 and 5.38% for 2002.
Provision for Credit Losses
We maintain an allowance for inherent credit losses that is
increased by a provision for credit losses charged against
operating results. We did not make a provision for credit losses
during 2004, 2003 and 2002 and we believe the allowance is
adequate to absorb known inherent risk in the loan profile. No
assurance can be given that economic conditions which adversely
affect our service areas or other circumstances will not be
28
reflected in increased provisions or credit losses in the
future. The net recoveries totaled $1.2 million in 2004,
net charge-offs totaled, $1.4 million in 2003 and
$1.1 million in 2002. See Risk Management
Credit Risk herein.
Other Operating Income
Other operating income includes income derived from special
services offered by the Bank, such as wealth management and
trust services, merchant card, investment services,
international banking, and other business services. Also
included in other operating income are service charges and fees,
primarily from deposit accounts; gains (net of losses) from the
sale of investment securities, other real estate owned, and
fixed assets; the gross revenue from Community and other
revenues are not included as interest on earning assets.
Other operating income, including gain on the sale of investment
securities and real estate, totaled $28.0 million for 2004.
This represents a decrease of $2.1 million, or 6.94%, from
other operating income, including gain on the sale of investment
securities, of $30.0 million for 2003. During 2003, other
operating income, including gain on the sale of investment
securities, increased $971,000, or 3.35%, over other operating
income, including gain on the sale of investment securities, of
$29.0 million for 2002. Other operating income as a percent
of net revenues, including gain on the sale of investment
securities, (net interest income plus other operating income)
was 15.58% for 2004, as compared to 18.83% for 2003, and 20.31%
for 2002.
Other operating income for 2004, without gains on the sale of
investment securities and real estate, increased
$2.8 million or 10.82%, as compared to 2003. Other
operating income for 2003, without gains on the sale of
investment securities, increased $1.7 million or 6.87%, as
compared to 2002.
Other operating income as a percent of net revenues (net
interest income before loan loss provision plus other operating
income) was 15.58% for 2004, as compared to 18.83% for 2003 and
20.31% for 2002. Excluding gains and losses on securities, other
operating income as a percent of net revenues was 15.89% for
2004, as compared to 16.62% for 2003 and 17.48% for 2002.
The following table reconciles the differences in other
operating income and the percentage of net revenues with and
without the net gains on sales of investment securities and real
estate in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America:

We have presented other operating income without the realized
gains or losses on investment securities and gain on sale of
real estate to show shareholders the earnings from operations
were unaffected by the impact of the investment securities and
real estate gains or losses. We believe this presentation allows
the reader to determine our profitability before the impact of
sales of investment securities and real estate. We believe the
reader will be able to more easily determine the operational
profits of the Company.
Service charges on deposit accounts totaled $13.7 million
in 2004. This represented a decrease of $1.4 million, or
9.15% over service charges on deposit accounts of
$15.0 million in 2003. Service charges for demand deposits
(checking) accounts for business customers are generally
charged based on an analysis of their activity and include an
earning allowance based on their average balances. Contributing
to the decrease in service charges on deposit accounts in 2004
was the higher average demand deposit balances that resulted in
a higher account earnings allowance, which offsets service
charges and the implementation of a revised service
29
charge schedule. Service charges on deposit accounts in 2003
increased $885,000, or 6.25% over service charges on deposit
accounts of $14.2 million in 2002. Service charges on
deposit accounts represented 48.96% of other operating income in
2004, as compared to 50.15% in 2003 and 48.78% in 2002.
Wealth Management consists of Trust Services and Investment
Services.
Trust Services provides a variety of services, which
include asset management services (both full management services
and custodial services), estate planning, retirement planning,
private and corporate trustee services, and probate services.
Trust Services generated fees of $4.5 million in 2004
and $3.9 million in 2003. Fees generated by
Trust Services in 2003 increased $140,000, or 3.72% over
fees generated by Trust Services of $3.8 million in
2002. The increase in fees is due primarily to the impact of the
stock market valuation of portfolios under management. Fees
generated by Trust Services represented 16.0% of other
operating income in 2004, as compared to 13.02% in 2003 and
12.97% in 2002.
Investment Services, which provides mutual funds, certificates
of deposit and other non-insured investment products, generated
fees totaling $1.6 million in 2004. This represented an
increase of $119,000, or 8.06% over fees generated of
$1.5 million in 2003. The increase was due to the low
interest rate environment and customers not utilizing non-bank
products. Investment Services fees in 2003 decreased $5,000, or
0.34% over fees generated of $1.5 million in 2002. Fees
generated by Investment Services represented 5.70% of other
operating income in 2004, as compared to 4.91% in 2003 and 5.09%
in 2002.
Bankcard Services, which provides merchant bankcard services,
generated fees totaling $1.8 million in 2004. This
represented an increase of $364,000, or 25.71% over fees
generated of $1.4 million in 2003. Bankcard fees in 2003
increased by $242,000, or 20.64% over fees generated of
$1.2 million in 2002. Increases in both years are due to
the number of customers using Bankcard services and the emphasis
on reducing costs with our outside processors. Fees generated by
Bankcard represented 6.38% of other operating income in 2004, as
compared to 4.72% in 2003 and 4.05% in 2002.
Other fees and income, which includes wire fees, other business
services, international banking fees, check sale, ATM fees,
miscellaneous income, etc., generated fees totaling
$7.5 million in 2004. This represented an increase of
$3.5 million, or 89.68% over other fees and income
generated of $3.9 million in 2003. The increase is
primarily due to the increase of volume in international banking
fees, accrued cash surrender value on bank-owned life insurance
(BOLI) and gain on sale of real estate. Other fees
and income in 2003 increased by $395,000, or 11.12% over fees
generated of $3.6 million in 2002.
Other fees and income also includes revenue from Community, a
subsidiary of the Company. Total revenue from Community was
approximately $76,000 in 2004, $124,000 in 2003, and $106,000 in
2002.
Other-Than-Temporary Impairment write down of $6.3 million
was due to two issues of Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation
preferred stock. This stock fluctuates in value due to the
variable interest rate on the preferred stock dividend, which is
tied to LIBOR. This is similar in structure to a bond. However,
because it has no maturity and the unrealized loss lasted for
more than twelve months, we were required to write the two
issues down to market value.
The sale of securities generated income totaling
$5.2 million in 2004, $4.2 million in 2003, and
$4.9 million in 2002. The gain on sale of securities was
primarily due to repositioning of the investment portfolio to
take advantage of the current interest rate cycle.
Other Operating Expenses
Other operating expenses include expenses for salaries and
benefits, occupancy, equipment, stationary and supplies,
professional services, promotion, data processing, deposit
insurance, amortization of intangibles, and other expenses.
Other operating expenses totaled $89.7 million for 2004.
This represents an increase of $11.9 million, or 15.33%,
from other operating expenses of $77.8 million for 2003.
During 2003, other operating expenses increased
$11.7 million, or 17.77%, over other operating expenses of
$66.1 million for 2002.
For the most part, other operating expenses reflect the direct
expenses and related administrative expenses associated with
staffing, maintaining, promoting, and operating branch
facilities. Our ability to
30
control other operating expenses in relation to asset growth can
be measured in terms of other operating expenses as a percentage
of average assets. Operating expenses measured as a percentage
of average assets decreased to 2.14% for 2004, compared to 2.26%
for 2003, and 2.42% for 2002. The decrease in the ratio
indicates that management is controlling greater levels of
assets with proportionately smaller operating expenses, an
indication of operating efficiency.
Our ability to control other operating expenses in relation to
the level of net revenue (net interest income plus other
operating income) is measured by the efficiency ratio and
indicates the percentage of net revenue that is used to cover
expenses. For 2004, the efficiency ratio was 50.10%, compared to
48.84% for 2003 and 46.22% for 2002. The increases from 2003 to
2004 and 2002 to 2003 were primarily due to the net impact of
the other-than-temporary impairment write-down, gains on the
sale of securities, gain on sale of real estate, estimated
robbery loss, the prepayment penalties, and the reversed excess
legal fee accrual.
Salaries and related expenses comprise the greatest portion of
other operating expenses. Salaries and related expenses totaled
$47.3 million for 2004. This represented an increase of
$5.8 million, or 13.98%, over salaries and related expenses
of $41.5 million for 2003. Salary and related expenses
increased $5.5 million, or 15.35%, over salaries and
related expenses of $36.0 million for 2002. At
December 31, 2004, we employed 674 persons, 472 on a
full-time and 202 on a part-time basis, this compares to 670
persons, 459 on a full-time and 211 on a part-time basis at
December 31, 2003, and 618 persons, 417 on a full-time and
201 on a part-time basis at December 31, 2002. The
increases in 2004 and 2003 resulted from increased staffing
levels associated with the acquisitions of Kaweah National Bank,
Western Security Bank and Golden West Enterprises and internal
growth. Salaries and related expenses as a percent of average
assets decreased to 1.13% for 2004, compared to 1.21% for 2003,
and 1.32% for 2002.
Occupancy and equipment expenses represent the cost of operating
and maintaining branch and administrative facilities, including
the purchase and maintenance of furniture, fixtures, office and
equipment and data processing equipment. Occupancy expense
totaled $7.9 million for 2004. This represented an increase
of $1.2 million, or 17.11%, over occupancy expense of
$6.7 million for 2003. Occupancy expense for 2003 increased
$399,000, or 6.30%, from an expense level of $6.3 million
for 2002. The increase in occupancy expense was primarily due to
the acquisition of Kaweah National Bank in 2003 and the
acquisitions of Western Security Bank and Golden West
Enterprises, Inc. in 2002 as well as the on going remodeling and
upkeep of our facilities. Equipment expense totaled
$8.0 million for 2004. This represented an increase of
$1.1 million, or 16.35%, over the $6.9 million expense
for 2003. For 2003, equipment expense increased $666,000, or
10.72%, from an expense of $6.2 million for 2002. The
increase in equipment expense primarily reflects the acquisition
of Kaweah National Bank, the upgrade to image processing
equipment, and the ongoing upgrade of other computer equipment.
Stationary and supplies expense totaled $5.0 million for
2004 and 2003 compared to $4.0 million for 2002. The
increase was primarily due to the acquisition of Kaweah National
Bank and the internal growth of business.
Professional services totaled $4.8 million for 2004. This
represented an increase of $771,000 or 19.25%, over an expense
of $4.0 million for 2003. The increase was due to an
increase in fees related to services incurred for Sarbanes-Oxley
compliance. For 2003, professional services decreased $79,000,
or 1.93%, from an expense of $4.1 million for 2002.
Promotion expense totaled $5.1 million for 2004. This
represented an increase of $624,000, or 13.78%, from an expense
of $4.5 million for 2003. Promotion expense increased for
2003 by $840,000, or 22.81%, over an expense of
$3.7 million for 2002. The increase in promotional expenses
from 2004 to 2003 was primarily due to the acquisition of Kaweah
National Bank, and the opening of the de novo Business Financial
Center in Fresno, in Californias central valley in 2003.
The increase in promotional expense from 2003 to 2002 was
primarily due to the opening of the Business Financial Center in
Bakersfield and the acquisitions of Western Security Bank and
Golden West Enterprises in 2002.
31
Data processing expense totaled $994,000 for 2004. This
represented a decrease of $196,000, or 16.43%, from an expense
of $1.2 million for 2003. Data processing expense decreased
for 2003 by $107,000, or 8.22%, over an expense of
$1.3 million for 2002.
The amortization expense of intangibles totaled
$1.2 million for 2004. This represented an increase of
$370,000, or 45.48%, from an expense of $815,000 for 2003.
Amortization expense of intangibles increased for 2003 by
$236,000, or 40.89%, from amortization expense of intangibles of
$578,000 for 2002. The increase were primarily due to the
acquisition of Kaweah National Bank.
Other operating expenses totaled $9.4 million for 2004.
This represented an increase of $2.3 million, or 31.37%,
from an expense of $7.2 million for 2003. The increase in
2004 was primarily due to the accrual for the estimated robbery
loss. Other operating expenses increased for 2003 by
$3.3 million, or 83.55%, over an expense of
$3.9 million for 2002.
Income Taxes
Our effective tax rate for 2004 was 31.2%, compared to 35.2% for
2003, and 35.3% for 2002. The decrease was primarily due to
proportionally higher amounts of tax preference municipal income
as a percentage of total taxable income and a reduction in
reserves for prior period state taxes. The effective tax rates
are below the nominal combined Federal and State tax rates as a
result of tax preference income from certain investments for
each period. The majority of tax preference income is derived
from municipal securities.
Subsequent Event
On February 25, 2005, we completed our acquisition of
Granite State Bank (Granite). This resulted in the
addition of $80.0 million in deposits, $65.0 million
in loans and $110.0 million in total assets. Granite had
two offices, one in Monrovia and one in South Pasadena. These
two offices are operating as business financial centers of the
Bank.
ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
The Company reported total assets of $4.51 billion at
December 31, 2004. This represented an increase of
$656.7 million, or 17.04%, from total assets of
$3.85 billion at December 31, 2003. For 2003, total
assets increased $730.9 million, or 23.40%, from total
assets of $3.12 billion at December 31, 2002.
Investment Securities
The Company maintains a portfolio of investment securities to
provide interest income and to serve as a source of liquidity
for its ongoing operations. The tables below set forth
information concerning the composition of the investment
securities portfolio at December 31, 2004, 2003, and 2002,
and the maturity distribution of the investment securities
portfolio at December 31, 2004. At December 31, 2004,
we reported total investment securities of $2.09 billion.
This represents an increase of $219.2 million, or 11.75%,
over total investment securities of $1.87 billion at
December 31, 2003. For 2003, investment securities
increased $435.2 million, or 30.42%, greater than total
investment securities of $1.42 billion at December 31,
2002.
Under SFAS No. 115, Accounting for Certain
Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, securities held
as available-for-sale are reported at current market
value for financial reporting purposes. The related unrealized
gains or losses, net of income taxes, are recorded in
stockholders equity. At December 31, 2004, securities
held as available-for-sale had a fair market value of
$2.09 billion, representing 100.00% of total investment
securities with an amortized cost of $2.07 billion. At
December 31, 2004, the net unrealized holding gain on
securities available-for-sale was $15.3 million that
resulted in accumulated other comprehensive income of
$8.9 million (net of $6.4 million in deferred taxes).

The above table excludes securities without stated maturities.
The maturity of each security category is defined as the
contractual maturity except for the categories of
mortgage-backed securities and CMO/ REMICs whose
maturities are defined as the estimated average life. The final
maturity of mortgage-backed securities and CMO/ REMICs
will differ from their contractual maturities because the
underlying mortgages have the right to repay such obligations
without penalty. The speed at which the underlying mortgages
repay is influenced by many factors, one of which is interest
rates. Mortgages tend to repay faster as interest rates fall and
slower as interest rate rise. This will either shorten or extend
the estimated average life. Also, the yield on mortgages-backed
securities and CMO/ REMICs are affected by the speed at
which the underlying mortgages repay. This is caused by the
change in the amount of amortization of premiums or accretion of
discount of each security as repayments increase or decrease.
The Company obtains the estimated average life of each security
from independent third parties.
The weighted-average yield (TE) on the investment portfolio
at December 31, 2004 was 4.38% with a weighted-average life
of 3.6 years. This compares to a yield of 4.31% at
December 31, 2003 with a weighted-average life of
3.2 years. The weighted average life is the average number
of years that each dollar of unpaid principal due remains
outstanding. Average life is computed as the weighted-average
time to the receipt of all future cash flows, using as the
weights the dollar amounts of the principal pay-downs.

The tables above show the Companys investment
securities gross unrealized losses and fair value by
investment category and length of time that individual
securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position,
at December 31, 2004 and 2003. We have reviewed individual
securities classified as available-for-sale to determine whether
a decline in fair value below the amortized cost basis is
other-than-temporary. If it is probable that we will be unable
to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of
a debt security not impaired at acquisition, an
other-than-temporary impairment shall be considered to have
occurred. If an other-than-temporary impairment occurs the cost
basis of the security would be written down to its fair value as
a new cost basis and the write down accounted for as a realized
loss.
At the end of first quarter 2004, we recorded a write down of
$6.3 million related to FHLMC Preferred Stock in order to
adjust this FHLMC Preferred Stock to fair value. This stock has
a variable rate of interest, changing with LIBOR every 3 or
12 months depending on the issue.
Despite the unrealized loss position of these securities, we
have concluded, as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, that
these investments are not other-than-temporarily impaired. This
assessment was based on the following factors: i) the
length of the time and the extent to which the market value has
been less than cost; ii) the financial condition and near-term
prospects of the issuer; iii) the intent and ability of the
Company to retain its investment in a security for a period of
time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in market
value; and iv) general market conditions which reflect prospects
for the economy as a whole, including interest rates and sector
credit spreads.

to finance capital purchases or improvements, or to provide cash
flow for operations. Real estate loans are loans secured by
conforming first trust deeds on real property, including
property under construction, commercial property and multifamily
residences. Consumer loans include installment loans to
consumers as well as home equity loans and other loans secured
by junior liens on real property. Municipal lease finance
receivables are leases to municipalities. Agribusiness loans are
loans to finance the operating needs of wholesale dairy farm
operations, cattle feeders, livestock raisers, and farmers.
Table 5 provides the maturity distribution for commercial
and industrial loans, real estate construction loans and
agribusiness loans as of December 31, 2004. The loan
amounts are based on contractual maturities although the
borrowers have the ability to prepay the loans. Amounts are also
classified according to re-pricing opportunities or rate
sensitivity.

Includes approximately $474.6 million in fixed rate
commercial real estate loans. These loans are classified as real
estate mortgage loans for the financial statements, but are
accounted for as commercial and industrial loans on the
Companys books. |
As a normal practice in extending credit for commercial and
industrial purposes, we may accept trust deeds on real property
as collateral. In some cases, when the primary source of
repayment for the loan is anticipated to come from the cash flow
from normal operations of the borrower, the requirement of real
property as collateral is not the primary source of repayment
but an abundance of caution. In these cases, the real property
is considered a secondary source of repayment for the loan.
Since we lend primarily in Southern California, our real estate
loan collateral is concentrated in this region. At
December 31, 2004, substantially all of our loans secured
by real estate were collateralized by properties located in
Southern California. This concentration is considered when
determining the adequacy of our allowance for credit losses.
Non-Performing Assets
At December 31, 2004, non-performing assets, which included
non-performing loans, (nonaccrual loans, loans 90 days or
more past due and still accruing interest, and restructured
loans) (see Credit Risk) totaled $2,000. This represented a
decrease of $546,000, or 99.64%, compared to non-performing
assets of $548,000 at December 31, 2003. For 2003, total
non-performing assets decreased $276,000, or 33.50%, from total
non-performing assets of $824,000 at December 31, 2002. The
decrease in non-performing assets for 2004 compared to 2003
reflects a decrease in loans past due 90 days or more
offset by an increase in nonaccrual loans. The decrease in
non-performing assets for 2003 compared to 2002 reflects a
decrease in nonaccrual loans offset by an increase in loans past
due 90 days or more. In addition, we classified loans as
impaired totaling $2,000 at December 31, 2004. This
represented a decrease of $570,000 or 99.71%, compared to loans
classified as impaired of $572,000 at December 31, 2003. A
loan is impaired when, based on current information and events,
it is probable that a creditor will be unable to collect all
amounts (contractual interest and principal) according to the
contractual terms of the loan agreement.
At December 31, 2004, we had loans on which interest was no
longer accruing (nonaccrual) totaling $2,000. This
represented a decrease of $546,000, or 99.64%, from total
nonaccrual loans of $548,000 at December 31, 2003. For
2003, total nonaccrual loans increased $358,000, or 188.42%,
over total nonaccrual loans of $190,000 at December 31,
2002. Loans are put on nonaccrual after 90 days of
non-performance. They can also be put on nonaccrual should, in
the judgment of management, the collectability is determined to
be doubtful. When loans are placed on non-accrual, all
previously accrued and unpaid interest is reversed in current
earnings. The Bank has allocated specific reserves included in
the allowance for credit losses for potential losses on these
loans.
36
A restructured loan is a loan on which terms or conditions have
been modified due to the deterioration of the borrowers
financial condition. At December 31, 2004, and 2003 we had
no loans that were classified as restructured.
Although we believe that non-performing loans are generally well
secured and that potential losses are provided for in our
allowance for credit losses, there can be no assurance that
future deterioration in economic conditions or collateral values
will not result in future credit losses. Table 6 provides
information on non-performing loans and other real estate owned
at the dates indicated.

Except for non-performing loans as set forth in Table 6 and
loans disclosed as impaired, (see Risk
Management Credit Risk herein) we are not
aware of any loans as of December 31, 2004 for which known
credit problems of the borrower would cause serious doubts as to
the ability of such borrowers to comply with their present loan
repayment terms, or any known events that would result in the
loan being designated as non-performing at some future date. We
cannot, however, predict the extent to which the deterioration
in general economic conditions, real estate values, increase in
general rates of interest, change in the financial conditions or
business of a borrower may adversely affect a borrowers
ability to pay.
At December 31, 2004, and 2003 the Company held no
properties as other real estate owned.
Deposits
The primary source of funds to support earning assets (loans and
investments) is the generation of deposits from our customer
base. The ability to grow the customer base and subsequently
deposits is a crucial element in the performance of the Company.
We reported total deposits of $2.88 billion at
December 31, 2004. This represented an increase of
$214.5 million, or 8.06%, over total deposits of
$2.66 billion at December 31, 2003. During 2003, total
deposits increased $350.5 million, or 15.18%, over total
deposits of $2.31 billion at December 31, 2002.
The amount of non-interest-bearing demand deposits in relation
to total deposits is an integral element in achieving a low cost
of funds. Non-interest-bearing deposits represented 45.99% of
total deposits as of December 31, 2004 and 42.94% of total
deposits as of December 31, 2003. Non-interest-bearing
demand deposits totaled $1.32 billion at December 31,
2004. This represented an increase of $179.9 million, or
15.75%, over total non-interest-bearing demand deposits of
$1.14 million at December 31, 2003. For 2003, total
non-interest-bearing demand deposits increased
$183.7 million, or 19.16%, over non-interest-bearing demand
deposits of $958.7 million at December 31, 2002.

Other Borrowed Funds
To achieve the desired growth in earning assets we fund that
growth through generating a source of funds. The first source of
funds we pursue is non-interest-bearing deposits (the lowest
cost of funds to the Company), next we pursue the growth in
interest-bearing deposits and finally we supplement the growth
in deposits with borrowed funds. Borrowed funds, as a percent of
total funding (total deposits plus demand notes plus borrowed
funds) was 29.16% at December 31, 2004, as compared to
22.79% at December 31, 2003.
During 2004 and 2003, we entered into short-term borrowing
agreements with the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB). We had
outstanding balances of $226.0 million and
$318.0 million under these agreements at December 31,
2004 and 2003, respectively. FHLB held certain investment
securities of the Bank as collateral for those borrowings. On
December 31, 2004, we entered into an overnight agreement
with certain financial institutions to borrow an aggregate of
$130.0 million at a weighted average annual interest rate
of 1.4 %. We maintained cash deposits with the financial
institutions as collateral for these borrowings. The increase
was primarily due to funding for the growth of earning assets.
During 2004 and 2003, we entered into long-term borrowing
agreements with the FHLB. We had outstanding balances of
$830.0 million and $381.0 million under these
agreements at December 31, 2004 and 2003, with
weighted-average interest rates of 3.1% and 3.4% as of
December 31, 2004 and 2003 respectively. We had an average
outstanding balance of $587.9 million and
$400.3 million as of December 31, 2004 and 2003,
respectively. FHLB held certain investment securities of the
Bank as collateral for those borrowings.
At December 31, 2004, borrowed funds totaled
$1.19 billion. This represented an increase of
$399.5 million, or 50.79%, from total borrowed funds of
$786.5 million at December 31, 2003. For 2003, total
borrowed funds increased $318.5 million, or 68.06%, from a
balance of $468.0 million at December 31, 2002. The
maximum outstanding at any month-end was $1.19 billion
during 2004, $793.0 million during 2003, and
$468.0 million during 2002.

Deposits represent non-interest bearing, money market, savings,
NOW, certificates of deposits, brokered and all other deposits
held by the Company.
FHLB borrowings represent the amounts that are due to the
Federal Home Loan Bank. These borrowings have fixed maturity
dates. Other borrowings represent the amounts that are due to
overnight Federal funds purchases and TT&L.
Junior subordinated debentures represent the amounts that are
due from the Company to CVB Statutory Trust I &
CVB Statutory Trust II. The debentures have the same
maturity as the Trust Preferred Securities, which mature in
2033, but become callable in whole or in part in 2008.
Deferred compensation represents the amounts that are due to
former employees salary continuation agreements as a
result of acquisitions.
Operating leases represent the total minimum lease payments
under noncancelable operating leases.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
At December 31, 2004, we had commitments to extend credit
of approximately $762.9 million, and obligations under
letters of credit of $71.5 million. The Bank also has
available lines of credit totaling $958.2 million from
certain financial institutions. Commitments to extend credit are
agreements to lend to customers, provided there is no violation
of any condition established in the contract. Commitments
generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination
clauses and may require payment of a fee. Commitments are
generally variable rate, and many of these commitments are
expected to expire without being drawn upon. As such, the total
commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash
requirements. We use the same credit underwriting policies in
granting or accepting such commitments or contingent obligations
as it does for on-balance sheet instruments, which consist of
evaluating customers creditworthiness individually.
Standby letters of credit written are conditional commitments
issued by the Bank to guarantee the financial performance of a
customer to a third party. Those guarantees are primarily issued
to support private borrowing arrangements. The credit risk
involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as
that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. When
deemed necessary, we hold appropriate collateral supporting
those commitments. We do not anticipate any material losses as a
result of these transactions.

Liquidity and Cash Flow
Since the primary sources and uses of funds for the Bank are
loans and deposits, the relationship between gross loans and
total deposits provides a useful measure of the Banks
liquidity. Typically, the closer the ratio of loans to deposits
is to 100%, the more reliant the Bank is on its loan portfolio
to provide for short-term liquidity needs. Since repayment of
loans tends to be less predictable than the maturity of
investments and other liquid resources, the higher the loans to
deposit ratio the less liquid are the Banks assets. For
2004, the Banks loan to deposit ratio averaged 68.99%,
compared to an average ratio of 62.82% for 2003, and a ratio of
60.51% for 2002.
CVB is a company separate and apart from the Bank that must
provide for its own liquidity. Substantially all of CVBs
revenues are obtained from dividends declared and paid by the
Bank. The remaining cashflow is from rents paid by third parties
on office space in our corporate headquarters. There are
statutory and regulatory provisions that could limit the ability
of the Bank to pay dividends to CVB. At December 31, 2004,
approximately $75.0 million of the Banks equity was
unrestricted and available to be paid as dividends to CVB.
Management of CVB believes that such restrictions will not have
an impact on the ability of CVB to meet its ongoing cash
obligations. As of December 31, 2004, neither the Bank nor
CVB had any material commitments for capital expenditures.
For the Bank, sources of funds normally include principal
payments on loans and investments, other borrowed funds, and
growth in deposits. Uses of funds include withdrawal of
deposits, interest paid on deposits, increased loan balances,
purchases, and other operating expenses.
Net cash provided by operating activities totaled
$75.7 million for 2004, $71.9 million for 2003, and
$61.3 million for 2002. The increase for 2004 compared to
2003 was primarily the result of the increase in net interest
income as a result of the growth in average earning assets.
Cash used for investing activities totaled $695.4 million
for 2004, compared to $768.6 million for 2003 and
$405.2 million for 2002. The funds used for investing
activities primarily represented increases in investments and
loans for each year reported. Funds obtained from investing
activities for each year were obtained primarily from the sale
and maturity of investment securities.
Funds provided from financing activities totaled
$529.1 million for 2004, compared to $629.6 million
for 2003 and $365.2 million for 2002. Cash flows from
financing activities resulted from an increase in transaction
deposits and borrowings, and to a lesser extent from money
market, savings deposits.
At December 31, 2004, cash and cash equivalents totaled
$84.4 million. This represented a decrease of $27.7, or
24.65%, from a total of $112.0 million at December 31,
2003.
Historically, the primary source of capital for the Company has
been the retention of operating earnings. In order to ensure
adequate levels of capital, we conduct an ongoing assessment of
projected sources and uses of capital in conjunction with
projected increases in assets and the level of risk.
40
Total stockholders equity was $317.5 million at
December 31, 2004. This represented an increase of
$30.8 million, or 10.73%, over total stockholders
equity of $286.7 million at December 31, 2003. For
2003, total stockholders equity increased
$26.9 million, or 10.35%, over total stockholders
equity of $259.8 million at December 31, 2002.
The following table presents the amounts of regulatory capital
and the capital ratios for the Company, compared to its minimum
regulatory capital requirements as of December 31, 2004.

For purposes of calculating capital ratios, bank regulators have
excluded adjustments to stockholders equity that result
from mark-to-market adjustments of available-for-sale investment
securities. At December 31, 2004, we had an unrealized gain
on investment securities net of taxes of $8.9 million,
compared to an unrealized gain net of taxes of
$17.3 million at December 31, 2003.
Bank regulators have established minimum capital adequacy
guidelines requiring that qualifying capital be at least 8.0% of
risk-based assets, of which at least 4.0% must be Tier I
capital (primarily stockholders equity). These ratios
represent minimum capital standards. Under Prompt Corrective
Action rules, certain levels of capital adequacy have been
established for financial institutions. Depending on an
institutions capital ratios, the established levels can
result in restrictions or limits on permissible activities. In
addition to the aforementioned requirements, the Company and
Bank must also meet minimum leverage ratio standards. The
leverage ratio is calculated as Tier I capital divided by
the most recent quarters average total assets.
The highest level for capital adequacy under Prompt Corrective
Action is Well Capitalized. To qualify for this
level of capital adequacy an institution must maintain a total
risk-based capital ratio of at least 10.00% and a Tier I
risk-based capital ratio of at least 6.00%.
During 2004, the Board of Directors of the Company declared
quarterly cash dividends that totaled $0.48 per share for
the full year after retroactive adjustment of a 5-for-4 stock
split declared on December 15, 2004. We do not believe that
the continued payment of cash dividends will impact the ability
of the Company to continue to exceed the current minimum capital
standards.
In October 2001, the Companys Board of Directors
authorized the repurchase of up to 2.0 million shares (all
share amounts will not be adjusted to reflect stock dividends
and splits) of our common stock. During 2004, 2003 and 2002, we
repurchased 99,504, 349,300, and 100,000 shares of common
stock, for the total price of $2.0 million,
$7.1 million, and $2.1 million respectively. As of
December 31, 2004, 1,451,196 shares are available to
be repurchased in the future under this repurchase plan.

RISK MANAGEMENT
We have adopted a Risk Management Plan to ensure the proper
control and management of all risk factors inherent in the
operation of the Company and the Bank. Specifically, credit
risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk, transaction risk,
compliance risk, strategic risk, reputation risk, price risk and
foreign exchange risk, can all affect the market risk exposure
of the Company. These specific risk factors are not mutually
exclusive. It is recognized that any product or service offered
by the Company may expose the Bank to one or more of these risks.
Credit Risk
Credit risk is defined as the risk to earnings or capital
arising from an obligors failure to meet the terms of any
contract or otherwise fail to perform as agreed. Credit risk is
found in all activities where success depends on counter party,
issuer, or borrower performance. Credit risk arises through the
extension of loans and leases, certain securities, and letters
of credit.
Credit risk in the investment portfolio and correspondent bank
accounts is addressed through defined limits in our policy
statements. In addition, certain securities carry insurance to
enhance credit quality of the bond. Limitations on industry
concentration, aggregate customer borrowings, geographic
boundaries and standards on loan quality also are designed to
reduce loan credit risk. Senior Management, Directors
Committees, and the Board of Directors are provided with
information to appropriately identify, measure, control and
monitor the credit risk of the Bank.
Implicit in lending activities is the risk that losses will
occur and that the amount of such losses will vary over time.
Consequently, we maintain an allowance for credit losses by
charging a provision for credit losses to earnings. Loans
determined to be losses are charged against the allowance for
credit losses. Our allowance for credit losses is maintained at
a level considered by us to be adequate to provide for estimated
probable losses inherent in the existing portfolio, and unused
commitments to provide financing, including commitments under
commercial and standby letters of credit.
The allowance for credit losses is based upon estimates of
probable losses inherent in the loan and lease portfolio. The
nature of the process by which we determine the appropriate
allowance for credit losses requires the exercise of
considerable judgment. The amount actually observed in respect
of these losses can vary significantly from the estimated
amounts. We employ a systemic methodology that is intended to
reduce the differences between estimated and actual losses.
Our methodology for assessing the appropriateness of the
allowance is conducted on a regular basis and considers all
loans. The systemic methodology consists of two major elements.
The first major element includes a detailed analysis of the loan
portfolio in two phases. The first phase is conducted in
accordance with SFAS No. 114, Accounting by
Creditors for the Impairment of a Loan, as amended by
SFAS No. 118, Accounting by Creditors for
Impairment of a Loan Income Recognition and
Disclosures. Individual loans are reviewed to identify
loans for impairment. A loan is impaired when principal and
interest are deemed uncollectible in accordance with the
original contractual terms of the loan. Impairment is measured
as either the expected future cash flows discounted at each
loans effective interest rate, the fair value of the
loans collateral if the loan is collateral dependent, or
an observable market price of the loan (if one exists). Upon
measuring the impairment, we will ensure an appropriate level of
allowance is present or established.
Central to the first phase is our loan risk rating system. The
originating credit officer assigns borrowers an initial risk
rating, which is based primarily on a thorough analysis of each
borrowers financial capacity in conjunction with industry
and economic trends. Approvals are made based upon the amount of
inherent credit risk specific to the transaction and are
reviewed for appropriateness by senior line and credit
administration personnel. Credits are monitored by line and
credit administration personnel for deterioration in a
borrowers financial condition, which would impact the
ability of the borrower to perform under the contract. Risk
ratings are adjusted as necessary.
42
Loans are risk rated into the following categories: Impaired,
Doubtful, Substandard, Special Mention and Pass. Each of these
groups is assessed for the proper amount to be used in
determining the adequacy of our allowance for losses. While each
loan is looked at annually to determine its proper
classification, the Impaired and Doubtful loans are analyzed on
an individual basis for allowance amounts. The other categories
have formulae used to determine the needed allowance amount.
Based on the risk rating system specific allowances are
established in cases where management has identified significant
conditions or circumstances related to a credit that we believe
indicates the probability that a loss has been incurred. We
perform a detailed analysis of these loans, including, but not
limited to, cash flows, appraisals of the collateral, conditions
of the marketplace for liquidating the collateral and assessment
of the guarantors. We then determine the inherent loss potential
and allocate a portion of the allowance for losses as a specific
allowance for each of these credits.
The second phase is conducted by evaluating or segmenting the
remainder of the loan portfolio into groups or pools of loans
with similar characteristics in accordance with
SFAS No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies.
In this second phase, groups or pools of homogeneous loans are
reviewed to determine a portfolio formula allowance. In the case
of the portfolio formula allowance, homogeneous portfolios, such
as small business lending, consumer loans, agricultural loans,
and real estate loans, are aggregated or pooled in determining
the appropriate allowance. The risk assessment process in this
case emphasizes trends in the different portfolios for
delinquency, loss, and other-behavioral characteristics of the
subject portfolios.
The second major element in our methodology for assessing the
appropriateness of the allowance consists of our consideration
of all known relevant internal and external factors that may
affect a loans collectibility. This includes our estimates
of the amounts necessary for concentrations, economic
uncertainties, the volatility of the market value of collateral,
and other relevant factors. The relationship of the two major
elements of the allowance to the total allowance may fluctuate
from period to period.
In the second major element of the analysis which considers all
known relevant internal and external factors that may affect a
loans collectibility is based upon our evaluation of
various conditions, the effects of which are not directly
measured in the determination of the formula and specific
allowances. The evaluation of the inherent loss with respect to
these conditions is subject to a higher degree of uncertainty
because they are not identified with specific problem credits or
portfolio segments. The conditions evaluated in connection with
the second element of the analysis of the allowance include, but
are not limited to the following conditions that existed as of
the balance sheet date:
|
|
|
|
|
then-existing general economic and business conditions affecting
the key lending areas of the Company, |
|
|
|
then-existing economic and business conditions of areas outside
the lending areas, such as other sections of the United States,
Asia and Latin America, |
|
|
|
credit quality trends (including trends in non-performing loans
expected to result from existing conditions), |
|
|
|
collateral values, |
|
|
|
loan volumes and concentrations, |
|
|
|
seasoning of the loan portfolio, |
|
|
|
specific industry conditions within portfolio segments, |
|
|
|
recent loss experience in particular segments of the portfolio, |
|
|
|
duration of the current business cycle, |
|
|
|
bank regulatory examination results and |
|
|
|
findings of our internal credit examiners. |
43
We review these conditions in discussion with our senior credit
officers. To the extent that any of these conditions is
evidenced by a specifically identifiable problem credit or
portfolio segment as of the evaluation date, our estimate of the
effect of such condition may be reflected as a specific
allowance applicable to such credit or portfolio segment. Where
any of these conditions is not evidenced by a specifically
identifiable problem credit or portfolio segment as of the
evaluation date, our evaluation of the inherent loss related to
such condition is reflected in the second major element
allowance. Although we have allocated a portion of the allowance
to specific loan categories, the adequacy of the allowance must
be considered in its entirety.
We maintain an allowance for inherent credit losses that is
increased by a provision for credit losses charged against
operating results. The allowance for credit losses is also
increased by recoveries on loans previously charged off and
reduced by actual loan losses charged to the allowance. We did
not have provision for credit losses for 2004, 2003 and 2002.
At December 31, 2004, we reported an allowance for credit
losses of $22.5 million. This represents an increase of
$1.2 million, or 5.69%, from the allowance for credit
losses of $21.3 million at December 31, 2003. During
the year 2004, we did not make a provision for credit losses.
The increase of $1.2 million was due to the net recoveries
of $1.2 million. At December 31, 2003, we reported an
allowance for credit losses of $21.3 million. This
represented a decrease of $383,000, or 1.77%, from the allowance
for credit losses of $21.7 million at December 31,
2002. During the year 2003, we did not make a provision for
credit losses. The decrease of $383,000 was due to a one-time
reclassification of $1.8 million from the allowance for
credit losses for unused committed lines of credit to other
liabilities in December 2004 and the net charge offs of
$1.4 million, offset by the $2.8 million allowance of
credit losses from Kaweah National Bank as a result of the
acquisition. (See Table 8 Summary of Credit
Loss Experience.)
At December 31, 2004, we had loans classified as impaired
totaling $2,000. This represents a decrease of $570,000, or
99.65% compared to loans classified impaired of $572,000 at
December 31, 2003. For 2003, impaired loans decreased
$4.2 million, or 87.91%, from impaired loans of
$4.7 million at December 2002. Impaired loans, measured as
a percent of gross loans, equaled 0.00%, 0.03%, and 0.33%, at
December 31, 2004, 2003, and 2002 respectively. These
decreases reflect the quality of the loan portfolio, which is
also reflected in the fact that we have not made a provision for
loan and leases losses in the last three years.
Non-performing loans totaled $2,000 at December 31, 2004.
This represented a decrease of $546,000 or 99.64%, from
non-performing loans of $548,000 at December 31, 2003. For
2003, non-performing loans decreased $276,000, or 33.50%, from
non-performing loans of $824,000 at December 31, 2002.
Non-performing loans, measured as a percent of gross loans,
equaled 0.00%, 0.03%, and 0.06%, at December 31, 2004,
2003, and 2002, respectively. Non-accrual loans decreased
$546,000, or 99.64% to $2,000 at December 31, 2004.
For 2004, we charged-off $2.3 million of loans net of
$3.5 million recoveries to the allowance for credit losses.
This represented an increase of $2.6 million, or 185.47% to
the allowance for credit losses, from 2003, in which we
charged-off $1.4 million of loans, net of recoveries to the
allowance for credit losses. For 2003, charged-off loans
increased $290,000 or 25.71%, from 2002, in which we charged-off
$1.1 million of loans, net of recoveries to the allowance
for credit losses.

Table 8 presents a comparison of net credit losses, the
provision for credit losses (including adjustments incidental to
mergers), and the resulting allowance for credit losses for each
of the years indicated.

While we believe that the allowance at December 31, 2004,
was adequate to absorb losses from any known or inherent risks
in the portfolio, no assurance can be given that economic
conditions which adversely affect our service areas or other
circumstances will not be reflected in increased provisions or
credit losses in the future.
Table 9 provides a summary of the allocation of the
allowance for credit losses for specific loan categories at the
dates indicated. The allocations presented should not be
interpreted as an indication that loans charged to the allowance
for credit losses will occur in these amounts or proportions, or
that the portion of the allowance allocated to each loan
category represents the total amount available for future losses
that may occur within these categories.

Market Risk
In the normal course of its business activities, we are exposed
to market risks, including price and liquidity risk. Market risk
is the potential of loss from adverse changes in market rates
and prices, such as interest rates (interest rate risk).
Liquidity risk arises from the possibility that we may not be
able to satisfy current or future commitments or that we may be
more reliant on alternative funding sources such as long-term
debt. Financial products that expose us to market risk includes
securities, loans, deposits, debt, and derivative financial
instruments.

Interest Rate Risk
During periods of changing interest rates, the ability to
re-price interest-earning assets and interest-bearing
liabilities can influence net interest income, the net interest
margin, and consequently, our earnings. Interest rate risk is
managed by attempting to control the spread between rates earned
on interest-earning assets and the rates paid on
interest-bearing liabilities within the constraints imposed by
market competition in our service area. Short-term re-pricing
risk is minimized by controlling the level of floating rate
loans and maintaining a downward sloping ladder of bond payments
and maturities. Basis risk is managed by the timing and
magnitude of changes to interest-bearing deposit rates. Yield
curve risk is reduced by keeping the duration of the loan and
bond portfolios relatively short. Options risk in the bond
portfolio is monitored monthly and actions are recommended when
appropriate.
We monitor the interest rate sensitivity risk to
earnings from potential changes in interest rates using various
methods, including a maturity/ re-pricing gap analysis. This
analysis measures, at specific time intervals, the differences
between earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities for
which re-pricing opportunities will occur. A positive
difference, or gap, indicates that earning assets will re-price
faster than interest-bearing liabilities. This will generally
produce a greater net interest margin during periods of rising
interest rates, and a lower net interest margin during periods
of declining interest rates. Conversely, a negative gap will
generally produce a lower net interest margin during periods of
rising interest rates and a greater net interest margin during
periods of decreasing interest rates.

Table 10 provides the Banks maturity/ re-pricing gap
analysis at December 31, 2004, and 2003. We had a positive
cumulative 180-day gap of $45.6 million and a positive
cumulative 365-days gap of $504.0 million at
December 31, 2004. This represented an increase of
$612.4 million, or 108.0 times, over the 180-day cumulative
negative gap of $566.8 million at December 31, 2003.
In theory, this would indicate that at December 31, 2004,
$45.6 million more in assets than liabilities would
re-price if there were a change in interest rates over the next
180 days. If interest rates increase, the negative gap
would tend to result in a lower net interest margin. If interest
rates decrease, the negative gap would tend to result in an
increase in the net interest margin. However, we do have the
ability to anticipate the increase in deposit rates, and the
ability to extend interest-bearing liabilities, offsetting, in
part, the negative gap.
The interest rates paid on deposit accounts do not always move
in unison with the rates charged on loans. In addition, the
magnitude of changes in the rates charged on loans is not always
proportionate to the
48
magnitude of changes in the rate paid on deposits. Consequently,
changes in interest rates do not necessarily result in an
increase or decrease in the net interest margin solely as a
result of the differences between re-pricing opportunities of
earning assets or interest-bearing liabilities. The fact that
the Bank reported a negative gap at December 31, 2004 for
changes within the following 365 days does not necessarily
indicate that, if interest rates decreased, net interest income
would increase, or if interest rates increased, net interest
income would decrease.
Approximately $1.47 billion, or 78.80%, of the total
investment portfolio at December 31, 2004 consisted of
securities backed by mortgages. The final maturity of these
securities can be affected by the speed at which the underlying
mortgages repay. Mortgages tend to repay faster as interest
rates fall, and slower as interest rates rise. As a result, we
may be subject to a prepayment risk resulting from
greater funds available for reinvestment at a time when
available yields are lower. Conversely, we may be subject to
extension risk resulting, as lesser amounts would be
available for reinvestment at a time when available yields are
higher. Prepayment risk includes the risk associated with the
payment of an investments principal faster than originally
intended. Extension risk is the risk associated with the payment
of an investments principal over a longer time period than
originally anticipated. In addition, there can be greater risk
of price volatility for mortgage-backed securities as a result
of anticipated prepayment or extension risk.
We also utilize the results of a dynamic simulation model to
quantify the estimated exposure of net interest income to
sustained interest rate changes. The sensitivity of our net
interest income is measured over a rolling two-year horizon.
The simulation model estimates the impact of changing interest
rates on interest income from all interest-earning assets and
interest expense paid on all interest-bearing liabilities
reflected on our balance sheet. This sensitivity analysis is
compared to policy limits, which specify a maximum tolerance
level for net interest income exposure over a one-year horizon
assuming no balance sheet growth, given a 200 basis point
upward and a 200 basis point downward shift in interest
rates. A parallel and pro rata shift in rates over a 12-month
period is assumed.
The following reflects our net interest income sensitivity
analysis as of December 31, 2004:
|
|
|
Simulated |
|
Estimated Net Interest |
Rate Changes |
|
Income Sensitivity |
|
|
|
+200 basis points
|
|
(2.46%) |
-200 basis points
|
|
(1.64%) |
The estimated sensitivity does not necessarily represent a
forecast and the results may not be indicative of actual changes
to our net interest income. These estimates are based upon a
number of assumptions including: the nature and timing of
interest rate levels including yield curve shape, prepayments on
loans and securities, pricing strategies on loans and deposits,
and replacement of asset and liability cash-flows. While the
assumptions used are based on current economic and local market
conditions, there is no assurance as to the predictive nature of
these conditions including how customer preferences or
competitor influences might change. See NOTE 19
of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk to earnings or capital resulting from
our inability to meet obligations when they come due without
incurring unacceptable losses. It includes the ability to manage
unplanned decreases or changes in funding sources and to
recognize or address changes in market conditions that affect
our ability to liquidate assets quickly and with minimum loss of
value. Factors considered in liquidity risk management are
stability of the deposit base; marketability, maturity, and
pledging of investments; and the demand for credit.
In general, liquidity risk is managed daily by controlling the
level of fed funds and the use of funds provided by the cash
flow from the investment portfolio. To meet unexpected demands,
lines of credit are maintained with correspondent banks, the
Federal Home Loan Bank and the FRB. The sale of bonds
maturing in the near future can also serve as a contingent
source of funds. Increases in deposit rates are considered a
last resort as a means of raising funds to increase liquidity.
49
Transaction Risk
Transaction risk is the risk to earnings or capital arising from
problems in service or product delivery. This risk is
significant within any bank and is interconnected with other
risk categories in most activities throughout the Bank.
Transaction risk is a function of internal controls, information
systems, associate integrity, and operating processes. It arises
daily throughout the Bank as transactions are processed. It
pervades all divisions, departments and branches and is inherent
in all products and services the Bank offers.
In general, transaction risk is defined as high, medium or low
by the internal auditors during the audit process. The audit
plan ensures that high risk areas are reviewed at least annually.
The key to monitoring transaction risk is in the design,
documentation and implementation of well-defined procedures. All
transaction related procedures include steps to report events
that might increase transaction risk. Dual controls are also a
form of monitoring.
Compliance Risk
Compliance risk is the risk to earnings or capital arising from
violations of, or non-conformance with, laws, rules,
regulations, prescribed practices, or ethical standards.
Compliance risk also arises in situations where the laws or
rules governing certain Bank products or activities of the
Banks customers may be ambiguous or untested. Compliance
risk exposes the Bank to fines, civil money penalties, payment
of damages, and the voiding of contracts. Compliance risk can
also lead to a diminished reputation, reduced business value,
limited business opportunities, lessened expansion potential,
and lack of contract enforceability.
There is no single or primary source of compliance risk. It is
inherent in every Bank activity. Frequently, it blends into
operational risk and transaction processing. A portion of this
risk is sometimes referred to as legal risk. This is not limited
solely to risk from failure to comply with consumer protection
laws; it encompasses all laws, as well as prudent ethical
standards and contractual obligations. It also includes the
exposure to litigation from all aspects of banking, traditional
and non-traditional.
Our Compliance Management Policy and Program and the Code of
Ethical Conduct are the cornerstone for controlling compliance
risk. An integral part of controlling this risk is the proper
training of associates. The Compliance Officer is responsible
for developing and executing a comprehensive compliance training
program. The Compliance Officer will ensure that each associate
receives adequate training with regard to their position to
ensure that laws and regulations are not violated. All
associates who deal in compliance high risk areas are trained to
be knowledgeable about the level and severity of exposure in
those areas and the policies and procedures in place to control
such exposure.
Our Compliance Management Policy and Program includes an audit
program aimed at identifying problems and ensuring that problems
are corrected. The audit program includes two levels of review.
One is in-depth audits performed by an external firm and the
other is periodic monitoring performed by the Compliance Officer.
The Bank utilizes an external firm to conduct compliance audits
as a means of identifying weaknesses in the compliance program
itself. The external firms audit plan includes a periodic
review of each branch and department of the Bank.
The branch or department that is the subject of an audit is
required to respond to the audit and correct any violations
noted. The Compliance Officer will review audit findings and the
response provided by the branch or department to identify areas
which pose a significant compliance risk to the Bank.
The Compliance Officer conducts periodic monitoring of the
Banks compliance efforts with a special focus on those
areas that expose the Bank to compliance risk. The purpose of
the periodic monitoring is to ensure that Bank associates are
adhering to established policies and procedures adopted by the
Bank. The Compliance Officer will notify the appropriate
department head and the Compliance Committee of any violations
noted. The branch or department that is the subject of the
review will be required to respond to the findings and correct
any noted violations.
50
The Bank recognizes that customer complaints can often identify
weaknesses in the Banks compliance program which could
expose the Bank to risk. Therefore, all complaints are given
prompt attention. The Banks Compliance Management Policy
and Program includes provisions on how customer complaints are
to be addressed. The Compliance Officer reviews all complaints
to determine if a significant compliance risk exists and
communicates those findings to Senior Management.
Strategic Risk
Strategic risk is the risk to earnings or capital arising from
adverse decisions or improper implementation of strategic
decisions. This risk is a function of the compatibility between
an organizations goals, the resources deployed against
those goals and the quality of implementation.
Strategic risks are identified as part of the strategic planning
process. Offsite strategic planning sessions are held annually.
The strategic review consists of an economic assessment,
competitive analysis, industry outlook and legislative and
regulatory review.
A primary measurement of strategic risk is peer group analysis.
Key performance ratios are compared to three separate peer
groups to identify any sign of weakness and potential
opportunities. The peer group consists of:
|
|
|
1. All banks of comparable size |
|
|
2. High performing banks |
|
|
3. A list of specific banks |
Another measure is the comparison of the actual results of
previous strategic initiatives against the expected results
established prior to implementation of each strategy.
The corporate strategic plan is formally presented to all branch
managers and department managers at an annual leadership
conference.
Reputation Risk
Reputation risk is the risk to capital and earnings arising from
negative public opinion. This affects the Banks ability to
establish new relationships or services, or continue servicing
existing relationships. It can expose the Bank to litigation
and, in some instances, financial loss.
Price and Foreign Exchange Risk
Price risk arises from changes in market factors that affect the
value of traded instruments. Foreign exchange risk is the risk
to earnings or capital arising from movements in foreign
exchange rates.
The Banks current exposure to price risk is nominal. The
Bank does not have trading accounts. Consequently, the level of
price risk within the investment portfolio is limited to the
need to sell securities for reasons other than trading. The
section of this policy pertaining to liquidity risk addresses
this risk.
The Bank does maintain deposit accounts with various foreign
banks. The Banks Interbank Liability Policy limits the
balance in any of these accounts to an amount that does not
present a significant risk to the Banks earnings from
changes in the value of foreign currencies.
The Banks asset liability model calculates the market
value of the Banks equity. In addition, management
prepares on a monthly basis a Capital Volatility report that
compares changes in the market value of the investment
portfolio. Given the Banks nominal exposure to price risk,
no targets have been established to limit the level of price
risk.
The Balance Sheet Management Policy requires the submission of a
Fair Value Matrix Report to the Balance Sheet Management
Committee on an annual basis. The report calculates the economic
value of equity under different interest rate scenarios,
revealing the level or price risk of the Banks interest
sensitive asset and liability portfolios.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 03-1,
The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its
Application to Certain Investments (EITF
03-1), provides application guidance that should be used
to determine when an investment is considered impaired, whether
that impairment is other-than-temporary, and the recognition of
an impairment loss. The guidance also includes accounting
considerations subsequent to the recognition of an
other-than-temporary impairment and requires certain disclosures
about unrealized losses that have not been recognized as
other-than-temporary impairments. An investment is impaired if
the fair value of the investment is less than its cost. EITF
03-1 outlines that an impairment would be considered
other-than-temporary unless: a) the investor has the ability and
intent to hold an investment for a reasonable period of time
sufficient for the recovery of the fair value up to (or beyond)
the cost of the investment, and b) evidence indicating that the
cost of the investment is recoverable within a reasonable period
of time outweighs evidence to the contrary. Although not
presumptive, a pattern of selling investments prior to the
forecasted recovery of fair value may call into question the
investors intent. In addition, the severity and duration
of the impairment should also be considered in determining
whether the impairment is other-than-temporary.
On September 30, 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB) staff issued a proposed Board-directed FASB
Staff Position, FSP EITF Issue 03-1-a, Implementation
Guidance for the Application of Paragraph 16 of EITF Issue No.
03-1. The proposed FSP would provide implementation
guidance with respect to debt securities that are impaired
solely due to interest rates and/or sector spreads and analyzed
for other-than-temporary impairment under paragraph 16 of EITF
03-1. The Board also issued FSP EITF Issue No. 03-1-b delaying
the effective date of the measurement and recognition guidance
contained in paragraphs 10-20 of EITF 03.-1. The delay does not
suspend the requirement to recognize other-than temporary
impairments as required by existing authoritative literature.
Management continues to closely monitor and evaluate how the
provisions of EITF 03-1 and the proposed FSP EITF Issue 03-1-a
and 03-1-b will affect the Company. Since fluctuations in the
fair value for available-for-sale securities are already
recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income, adoption of
this standard is not expected to have a significant impact on
stockholders equity.
In December 2004, the Accounting Standards Executive Committee
of the AICPA issued Statement of Position No. 03-3
(SOP 03-3), Accounting for Certain Loans or
Debt Securities Acquired in a Transfer. SOP 03-3 addresses
the accounting for differences between the contractual cash
flows and the cash flows expected to be collected from purchased
loans or debt securities if those differences are attributable,
in part, to credit quality. SOP 03-3 requires purchased loans
and debt securities to be recorded initially at fair value based
on the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected
with no carryover of any valuation allowance previously
recognized by the seller. Interest income should be recognized
based on the effective yield from the cash flows expected to be
collected. To the extent that the purchased loans or debt
securities experience subsequent deterioration in credit
quality, a valuation allowance would be established for any
additional cash flows that are not expected to be received.
However, if more cash flows subsequently were expected to be
received than originally estimated, the effective yield would be
adjusted on a prospective basis. SOP 03-3 will be effective for
loans and debt securities acquired after December 31, 2004.
Although the Company anticipates that the implementation of SOP
03-3 will require loan system and operational changes to track
credit related losses on loans purchased that meet the criteria
under SOP 03-3, starting in 2005, it is not expected to have a
significant effect on the Companys results of operations,
financial position and cash flows.
In December 2004, the FASB issued a revision to
SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation, SFAS No. 123R, Share-Based
Payment. SFAS No. 123R focuses primarily on
transactions in which the entity exchanges its equity
instruments for employee services and generally establishes
standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity
obtains goods or services in share-based payment transactions.
SFAS No. 123R is effective for the Companys
third quarter of fiscal 2005. Management is currently evaluating
the effect of adoption of SFAS No. 123R, and expects
the impact to be similar to the amount in the pro forma
disclosure in Note 1 of the Consolidated Financial
Statements.

Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on
Accounting and Financial Disclosure |
On April 30, 2004, Deloitte & Touche, LLP notified
the Company that it had declined to stand for reelection as the
Companys independent auditors. During the 2002 and 2003
fiscal years and through the interim period ended April 30,
2004, there were no disagreements between the Company and
Deloitte & Touche, LLP on any matter of accounting
principles or practices, internal controls, financial statement
disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements,
if not resolved to the satisfaction of Deloitte &
Touche, LLP, would have caused it to make reference to the
subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its
reports.

Item 9A. |
Controls and Procedures |
1) Managements Report on Internal Control over
Financial Reporting
Management of CVB Financial Corp., together with its
consolidated subsidiaries (the Company), is responsible for
establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over
financial reporting. The Companys internal control over
financial reporting is a process designed under the supervision
of the Companys principal executive and principal
financial officers to provide reasonable assurance regarding the
reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the
Companys financial statements for external reporting
purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America.
As of December 31, 2004, we conducted assessment of the
effectiveness of the Companys internal control over
financial reporting based on the framework established in
Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by the
Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission
(COSO).
53
Based on this assessment, we have determined that the
Companys internal control over annual financial reporting
as of December 31, 2004 is effective. We also determined
that there were no material weaknesses as of December 31,
2004.
Our assessment of the effectiveness of the Companys
internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2004 has been audited by McGladrey &
Pullen, LLP., an independent registered public accounting firm,
as stated in their report appearing at 9A(2) below.
2) Auditor attestation
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors
CVB Financial Corp.
Ontario, California
We have audited managements assessment, included in the
accompanying Managements Report on Internal Control over
Financial Reporting, that CVB Financial Corp. and subsidiaries
(the Company) maintained effective internal control over
financial reporting as of December 31, 2004, based on
criteria established in Internal Control Integrated
Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of
the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Companys management is
responsible for maintaining effective internal control over
financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness
of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility
is to express an opinion on managements assessment and an
opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal
control over financial reporting based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those
standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control
over financial reporting was maintained in all material
respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of
internal control over financial reporting, evaluating
managements assessment, testing and evaluating the design
and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing
such other procedures as we considered necessary in the
circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable
basis for our opinion.
A companys internal control over financial reporting is a
process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the
reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of
financial statements for external purposes in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles. A companys
internal control over financial reporting includes those
policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance
of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly
reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the
company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions
are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial
statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company
are being made only in accordance with authorizations of
management and directors of the company; and (3) provide
reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of
unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the
companys assets that could have a material effect on the
financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over
financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.
Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future
periods are subject to the risk that controls may become
inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree
of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, managements assessment that the Company
maintained effective internal control over financial reporting
as of December 31, 2004, is fairly stated, in all material
respects, based on criteria established in Internal
Control Integrated Framework issued by COSO. Also in
our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects,
effective internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2004, based on criteria established in
Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by COSO.
54
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the
consolidated financial statements of the Company, and our report
dated March , 2005 expressed
an unqualified opinion.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
The accounting and reporting policies of CVB Financial Corp. and
subsidiaries are in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America and conform
to practices within the banking industry. A summary of the
significant accounting policies consistently applied in the
preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial
statements follows.
Principles of Consolidation The consolidated
financial statements include the accounts of CVB Financial Corp.
(the Company) and its wholly owned subsidiaries:
Citizens Business Bank (the Bank) and the
Banks wholly owned subsidiary, Golden West Enterprises,
Inc.; Community Trust Deed Services; CVB Ventures, Inc.;
Chino Valley Bancorp; and ONB Bancorp after elimination of all
intercompany transactions and balances. The Company is also the
common stockholder of CVB Statutory Trust I and CVB
Statutory Trust II, which were created in December 2003 to
issue trust preferred securities in order to raise capital for
the Company. In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards
Board Interpretation No. 46R Consolidation of
Variable Interest Entities (FIN No. 46R),
these trusts are not included in the consolidated financial
statements.
Nature of Operations The Companys
primary operations are related to traditional banking
activities, including the acceptance of deposits and the lending
and investing of money through the operations of the Bank. The
Bank has one subsidiary, Golden West Enterprises, Inc., located
in Costa Mesa, California, which provides automobile and
equipment leasing, and brokers mortgage loans. The Bank also
provides trust services to customers through its Wealth
Management Division and Business Financial Centers (branch
offices). The Banks customers consist primarily of small
to mid-sized businesses and individuals located in the Inland
Empire, San Gabriel Valley, Orange County, Fresno County,
Tulare County, and Kern County areas of California. The Bank
operates 37 Business Financial Centers with its headquarters
located in the city of Ontario. Segment reporting is not
presented since the companys revenue is attributed to a
single reportable segment.
Investment Securities The Company classifies
as held-to-maturity those debt securities that the Company has
the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity. Securities
classified as trading are those securities that are bought and
held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near
term. All other debt and equity securities are classified as
available-for-sale. Securities held-to-maturity are accounted
for at cost and adjusted for amortization of premiums and
accretion of discounts. Trading securities are accounted for at
fair value with the unrealized holding gains and losses being
included in current earnings. Available-for-sale securities are
accounted for at fair value, with the net unrealized gains and
losses, net of income tax effects, presented as a separate
component of stockholders equity. At each reporting date,
available-for-sale securities are assessed to determine whether
there is an other-than-temporary impairment. Such impairment, if
any, is required to be recognized in current earnings rather
than as a separate component of stockholders equity.
Realized gains and losses on sales of securities are recognized
in earnings at the time of sale and are determined on a
specific-identification basis. Purchase premiums and discounts
are recognized in interest income using the interest method over
the terms of the securities. The Companys investment in
Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) stock is carried
at cost.
Loans and Lease Finance Receivables Loans and
lease finance receivables are reported at the principal amount
outstanding less deferred net loan origination fees. Interest on
loans and lease finance receivables is credited to income based
on the principal amount outstanding. Interest income is not
recognized on loans and lease finance receivables when
collection of interest is deemed by management to be doubtful.
The Bank receives collateral to support loans, lease finance
receivables, and commitments to extend credit for which
collateral is deemed necessary. The most significant categories
of collateral are real estate, principally commercial and
industrial income-producing properties, real estate mortgages,
and assets utilized in agribusiness.
65
CVB FINANCIAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
Nonrefundable fees and direct costs associated with the
origination or purchase of loans are deferred and netted against
outstanding loan balances. The deferred net loan fees and costs
are recognized in interest income over the loan term in a manner
that approximates the level-yield method.
Provision and Allowance for Credit Losses The
determination of the balance in the allowance for credit losses
is based on an analysis of the loan and lease finance
receivables portfolio using a systematic methodology and
reflects an amount that, in managements judgment, is
adequate to provide for probable credit losses inherent in the
portfolio, after giving consideration to the character of the
loan portfolio, current economic conditions, past credit loss
experience, and such other factors as deserve current
recognition in estimating inherent credit losses. The estimate
is reviewed periodically by management and various regulatory
entities and, as adjustments become necessary, they are reported
in earnings in the periods in which they become known. The
provision for credit losses is charged to expense.
A loan for which collection of principal and interest according
to its original terms is not probable is considered to be
impaired. The Companys policy is to record a specific
valuation allowance, which is included in the allowance for
credit losses, or charge off that portion of an impaired loan
that exceeds its fair value. Fair value is usually based on the
value of underlying collateral.
Premises and Equipment Premises and equipment
are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation, which is
provided for in amounts sufficient to relate the cost of
depreciable assets to operations over their estimated service
lives using the straight-line method. Properties under capital
lease and leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter
of estimated economic lives of 15 years or the initial
terms of the leases. Estimated lives are 3 to 5 years for
computer and equipment, 5 to 7 years for furniture,
fixtures and equipment, and 15 to 30 years for buildings
and improvements. Long-lived assets are reviewed periodically
for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate
that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The impairment
is calculated as the difference between the expected
undiscounted future cash flows of a long-lived asset, if lower,
and its carrying value. The impairment loss, if any, would be
recorded in noninterest expense.
Other Real Estate Owned Other real estate
owned represents real estate acquired through foreclosure in
satisfaction of commercial and real estate loans and is stated
at fair value, minus estimated costs to sell (fair value at time
of foreclosure). Loan balances in excess of fair value of the
real estate acquired at the date of acquisition are charged
against the allowance for credit losses. Any subsequent
operating expenses or income, reduction in estimated values, and
gains or losses on disposition of such properties are charged to
current operations.
Business Combinations, Goodwill and Intangible
Assets The Company has engaged in the
acquisition of financial institutions and the assumption of
deposits and purchase of assets from other financial
institutions in its market area. The Company has paid premiums
on certain transactions, and such premiums are recorded as
intangible assets, in the form of goodwill or other intangible
assets. In accordance with the provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142,
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, goodwill is
not being amortized whereas identifiable intangible assets with
finite lives are amortized over their useful lives. On an annual
basis, the Company tests goodwill for impairment. The Company
completed its annual impairment test as of June 30, 2004;
there was no impairment of goodwill.
Income Taxes Deferred income taxes are
recognized for the tax consequences in future years of the
Companys differences between the tax bases of assets and
liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each
year-end, based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates
applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected
to affect taxable income.
Earnings per Common Share Basic earnings per
share are computed by dividing income available to common
stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares
outstanding during each year. The computation of diluted
earnings per share considers the number of tax-effected shares
issuable upon the assumed exercise of outstanding common stock
options. Earnings per common share and stock option
66
CVB FINANCIAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
amounts have been retroactively restated to give effect to all
stock splits and dividends. A reconciliation of the numerator
and the denominator used in the computation of basic and diluted
earnings per common share is included in Note 14.
Statement of Cash Flows Cash and cash
equivalents as reported in the statements of cash flows include
cash and due from banks and federal funds sold. Cash flow from
loans and deposits are reported net.
Stock Compensation Plans The Company has
several stock option plans that are more fully described in
Note 15 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial
Statements. The Company applies the intrinsic value method as
described in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25,
Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and
related interpretations in accounting for its plans.
Accordingly, compensation expense is not recognized when the
exercise price of a stock option equals or exceeds the fair
market value on the date the option is granted.
The following table presents the proforma effects on net income
and related earnings per share if compensation costs related to
the stock option plans were measured using the fair value method
as prescribed under SFAS No. 123, Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation:

Trust Services The Company maintains
funds in trust for customers. The amount of these funds and the
related liability have not been recorded in the accompanying
consolidated balance sheets because they are not assets or
liabilities of the Bank or Company, with the exception of any
funds held on deposit with the Bank. Trust fees are recorded on
a cash basis.
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial
Statements The preparation of financial
statements in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
of assets and liabilities and
67
CVB FINANCIAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues
and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could
differ from those estimates.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Emerging
Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 03-1, The
Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application
to Certain Investments (EITF 03-1), provides
application guidance that should be used to determine when an
investment is considered impaired, whether that impairment is
other-than-temporary, and the recognition of an impairment loss.
The guidance also includes accounting considerations subsequent
to the recognition of an other-than-temporary impairment and
requires certain disclosures about unrealized losses that have
not been recognized as other-than-temporary impairments. An
investment is impaired if the fair value of the investment is
less than its cost. EITF 03-1 outlines that an impairment would
be considered other-than-temporary unless: a) the investor has
the ability and intent to hold an investment for a reasonable
period of time sufficient for the recovery of the fair value up
to (or beyond) the cost of the investment, and b) evidence
indicating that the cost of the investment is recoverable within
a reasonable period of time outweighs evidence to the contrary.
Although not presumptive, a pattern of selling investments prior
to the forecasted recovery of fair value may call into question
the investors intent. In addition, the severity and
duration of the impairment should also be considered in
determining whether the impairment is other-than-temporary.
On September 30, 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB) staff issued a proposed Board-directed FASB
Staff Position, FSP EITF Issue 03-1-a, Implementation
Guidance for the Application of Paragraph 16 of EITF Issue No.
03-1. The proposed FSP would provide implementation
guidance with respect to debt securities that are impaired
solely due to interest rates and/or sector spreads and analyzed
for other-than-temporary impairment under paragraph 16 of EITF
03-1. The Board also issued FSP EITF Issue No. 03-1-b delaying
the effective date of the measurement and recognition guidance
contained in paragraphs 10-20 of EITF 03.-1. The delay does not
suspend the requirement to recognize other-than temporary
impairments as required by existing authoritative literature.
Management continues to closely monitor and evaluate how the
provisions of EITF 03-1 and the proposed FSP EITF Issue 03-1-a
and 03-1-b will affect the Company. Since fluctuations in the
fair value for available-for-sale securities are already
recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income, adoption of
this standard is not expected to have a significant impact on
stockholders equity.
In December 2004, the Accounting Standards Executive Committee
of the AICPA issued Statement of Position No. 03-3
(SOP 03-3), Accounting for Certain Loans
or Debt Securities Acquired in a Transfer. SOP 03-3
addresses the accounting for differences between the contractual
cash flows and the cash flows expected to be collected from
purchased loans or debt securities if those differences are
attributable, in part, to credit quality. SOP 03-3 requires
purchased loans and debt securities to be recorded initially at
fair value based on the present value of the cash flows expected
to be collected. Interest income should be recognized based on
the effective yield from the cash flows expected to be
collected. To the extent that the purchased loans or debt
securities experience subsequent deterioration in credit
quality, a valuation allowance would be established for any
additional cash flows that are not expected to be received.
However, if more cash flows subsequently were expected to be
received than originally estimated, the effective yield would be
adjusted on a prospective basis. SOP 03-3 will be effective for
loans and debt securities acquired after December 31, 2004.
Although the Company anticipates that the implementation of
SOP 03-3 will require loan system and operational changes
to track credit related losses on loans purchased that meet the
criteria under SOP 03-3, starting in 2005, it is not
expected to have a significant effect on the Companys
results of operations, financial position and cash flows.
In December 2004, the FASB issued a revision to
SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation, SFAS No. 123R, Share-Based
Payment. SFAS No. 123R focuses primarily on
transactions in which the entity exchanges its equity
instruments for employee services and generally establishes
standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity
obtains goods or services in share-based
68
CVB FINANCIAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
payment transactions. SFAS No. 123R is effective for
the Companys third quarter of fiscal 2005. Management is
currently evaluating the effect of the adoption of
SFAS No. 123R, and expects the impact to be similar to
the amount in the pro forma disclosure.
Reclassifications Certain amounts in the
prior years financial statements and related footnote
disclosures have been reclassified to conform to the
current-year presentation.
The amortized cost and estimated fair value of investment
securities are shown below. The majority of securities held are
publicly traded, and the estimated fair values were obtained
from an independent pricing service.

The tables above show the Companys investment
securities gross unrealized losses and fair value by
investment category and length of time that individual
securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position,
at December 31, 2004 and 2003. The Company has reviewed
individual securities classified as available-for-sale to
determine whether a decline in fair value below the amortized
cost basis is other-than-temporary. If it is probable that the
Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to
the contractual terms of a debt security not impaired at
acquisition, an other-than-temporary impairment shall be
considered to have occurred. If an other-than-temporary
impairment occurs the cost basis of the security would be
written down to its fair value as a new cost basis and the write
down accounted for as a realized loss.
Despite the unrealized loss position of these securities, the
Company has concluded, as of December 31, 2004 and 2003,
that these investments are not other-than-temporarily impaired.
This assessment was based on the following factors: i) the
length of the time and the extent to which the market values
have been less than
70

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
cost; ii) the financial condition and near-term prospects
of the issuer; iii) the intent and ability of the Company
to retain its investment in a security for a period of time
sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in market
value; and iv) general market conditions which reflect
prospects for the economy as a whole, including interest rates
and sector credit spreads.
At December 31, 2004 and 2003, investment securities having
an amortized cost of approximately $1.66 billion and
$1.23 billion respectively, were pledged to secure public
deposits, short and long-term borrowings, and for other purposes
as required or permitted by law.
The amortized cost and fair value of debt securities at
December 31, 2004, are based on the prerefund date, call
date, or contractual maturity, are shown below. Although
mortgage-backed securities and CMO/ REMICs have contractual
maturities through 2033, expected maturities will differ from
contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to
prepay such obligations without penalty.

The allowance for off-balance sheet credit exposure relates to
commitments to extend credit, letters of credit and undisbursed
funds on lines of credit. The Company evaluates credit risk
associated with the loan and lease portfolio at the same time it
evaluates credit risk associated with the off-balance sheet
commitments. Effective December 31, 2003, the allowance
necessary for the off-balance sheet commitments is reported
separately in other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated
statements of financial condition and therefore is no longer
part of the allowance for loan and lease losses.
The Bank measures an impaired loan by using the present value of
the expected future cash flows discounted at the loans
effective interest rate or the fair value of the collateral if
the loan is collateral dependent. If the calculated measurement
of an impaired loan is less than the recorded investment in the
loan, a portion of the Banks general reserve is allocated
as an impairment reserve.
At December 31, 2004 and 2003, the Bank had classified as
impaired, loan amounts totaling $2,000 and $572,000,
respectively. No specific reserve was recorded in 2004 on these
loans; however, a specific reserve of $289,400 was recorded in
2003. The average recorded investment in impaired loans during
the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003, and 2002 was
approximately $744,000, $1,937,000, and $7,117,000,
respectively. Interest income of $1,000, $82,000, and $1,035,000
was recognized, based on cash receipts, on impaired loans during
the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003, and 2002,
respectively.

CVB FINANCIAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
The accrual of interest on impaired loans is discontinued when
the loan becomes 90 days past due, or when the full
collection of principal and interest is in doubt. When an asset
is placed on nonaccrual status, previously accrued but unpaid
interest is reversed against income. Subsequent collections of
cash may be applied as reductions to the principal balance, or
recorded as income, depending on managements assessment of
the ultimate collectibility of the asset. Nonaccrual assets may
be restored to accrual status when principal and interest become
current and full payment of principal and interest is expected.
For 2004, our non-performing loans were less than $2,000. The
interest that would have been collected was minimal. Had
non-performing loans for which interest was no longer accruing
complied with the original terms and conditions of their notes,
interest income would have been $134,000 greater for 2003, and
$116,000 greater for 2002.
At December 31, 2004 and 2003, loans on nonaccrual status
totaled $2,000 and $548,000, all of which are included in the
impaired loans discussed above.
The Company has no other real estate owned or allowance for
other real estate owned losses at December 31, 2004 or 2003.
There were no expenses incurred in 2004, 2003, and 2002 related
to holding and disposition of OREO.

At December 31, 2004, the Company had a single depositor
with balances of approximately $140.0 million.
During 2004 and 2003, the Bank entered into short-term borrowing
agreements with the FHLB. The Bank had outstanding balances of
$226.0 million and $318.0 million under these
agreements at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively,
with weighted-average interest rates of 2.1%and 2.0%,
respectively. FHLB held certain investment securities of the
Bank as collateral for those borrowings. The average outstanding
balance of short-term borrowings for 2004 and 2003 was
$321.1 million and $234.3 million, respectively. The
maximum outstanding at any month-end was $447.0 million
during 2004 and $318.0 million during 2003. On
December 31, 2004 and 2003, the Bank entered into an
overnight agreement with certain financial institutions to
borrow an aggregate of $130.0 million and
$87.5 million, respectively, at a weighted average annual
interest rate of 1.4% and 0.9%, respectively. The Bank
maintained cash deposits with the financial institutions as
collateral for these borrowings.
The Bank entered into an agreement, known as the Treasury
Tax & Loan (TT&L) Note Option Program,
in 1996 with the Federal Reserve Bank and the
U.S. Department of the Treasury in which federal tax
deposits made by depositors can be held by the Bank until called
(withdrawn) by the U.S. Department of the Treasury. The
maximum amount of accumulated federal tax deposits allowable to
be held by the Bank, as set forth in the agreement, is
$15.0 million. On December 31, 2004 and 2003, the
amounts held by the Bank in the TT&L Note Option Program
were $6.5 million and $3.8 million respectively,
collateralized by securities. Amounts are payable on demand. The
Bank borrows at a variable rate of 34 and 24 basis points
less than the average weekly federal funds rate, which was 1.35%
and 1.03% at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The
average amounts held in 2004 and 2003 were $4.4 million and
$4.2 million, respectively.
During 2004 and 2003, the Bank entered into long-term borrowing
agreements with the FHLB. The Bank had outstanding balances of
$830.0 million and $381.0 million under these
agreements at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, and
had an average outstanding balance of $587.9 million and
400.3 million with weighted-average interest rates of 3.1%
and 3.4% as of December 31, 2004 and 2003 respectively.
FHLB held certain investment securities of the Bank as
collateral for those borrowings. The maturity dates of the
outstanding balances at December 31, 2004 are as follows:
$520.0 million in 2006, $210.0 million in 2007, and
$100.0 million in 2011.

Commitments and Contingencies |
The Company leases land and buildings under operating leases for
varying periods extending to 2015, at which time the Company can
exercise options that could extend certain leases through 2027.

Total rental expense for the Company was approximately
$3.4 million (2004), $3.2 million (2003), and
$3.1 million (2002).
At December 31, 2004, the Company had commitments to extend
credit of approximately $762.9 million and obligations
under letters of credit of $71.5 million. Commitments to
extend credit are agreements to lend to customers, provided
there is no violation of any condition established in the
contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or
other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee.
Commitments are generally variable rate, and many of these
commitments are expected to expire without
77
CVB FINANCIAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
being drawn upon. As such, the total commitment amounts do not
necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Bank uses
the same credit underwriting policies in granting or accepting
such commitments or contingent obligations as it does for
on-balance-sheet instruments, which consist of evaluating
customers creditworthiness individually.
Standby letters of credit written are conditional commitments
issued by the Bank to guarantee the financial performance of a
customer to a third party. Those guarantees are primarily issued
to support private borrowing arrangements. The credit risk
involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as
that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. When
deemed necessary, the Bank holds appropriate collateral
supporting those commitments. Management does not anticipate any
material losses as a result of these transactions.
The Bank has available lines of credit totaling
$958.2 million from certain financial institutions.
In 2000, the Company adopted a shareholder rights plan designed
to maximize long-term value and to protect shareholders from
improper takeover tactics and takeover bids which are not fair
to all shareholders. In accordance with the plan, preferred
share purchase rights were distributed as a dividend at the rate
of one right to purchase one one-thousandth of a share of our
Series A Participating Preferred Stock at an exercise price
of $50.00 (subject to adjustment) upon the occurrence of certain
triggering events.
The rights become exercisable, and will begin to trade
separately from the Common Stock of the Company, upon the
earlier of (i) 10 days following a public announcement
that a person or group of affiliated persons has acquired, or
obtained the right to acquire, beneficial ownership of 20% or
more of the outstanding Common Stock or (ii) ten business
days (or such later day as determined by the Board) after a
person or group announces a tender offer or exchange offer, the
consummation of which would result in ownership by a person or
group of 20% or more of our Common Stock. Each right will
entitle the holder to purchase Common Stock of the Company
having a current market value of twice the exercise price of the
right. If the Company is acquired through a merger or other
business combination transaction, or if there is a sale of more
than 50% of our assets or earning power, each right will entitle
the holder (other than rights held by the acquiring person) to
purchase, at the exercise price, common stock of the acquiring
entity having a value of twice the exercise price at the time.
The Companys Board of Directors has the option, at any
time after a person becomes a 20% holder of our outstanding
common stock, to exchange all or part of the rights (other than
rights held by the acquiring person) for shares of common stock
of the Company provided the Company may not make such an
exchange after the person becomes the beneficial owner of 50% or
more of our outstanding stock.
The Company may redeem the rights for $.01 each at any time on,
or prior to, public announcement that a person has become the
beneficial owner of 20% or more of our common stock. The rights
will expire on June 21, 2010, unless earlier redeemed or
exchanged.
In the ordinary course of business, the Company becomes involved
in litigation. Based upon the Companys internal records
and discussions with legal counsel, the Company records reserves
for estimates of the probable outcome of all cases brought
against them.
In early 2004, the Company suffered a break-in at one of its
business financial centers. It resulted in a loss to its
customers of items located in their safe deposit boxes. The
Company had been compensating our customers for their losses
with the acknowledgement of its insurance company that they were
not confirming or denying coverage. In September 2005, the
insurance company ceased approving claims. Over the last
78
CVB FINANCIAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
quarter of the year, it became apparent that the insurance
company would deny coverage. Therefore, the Company decided to
reserve $2.2 million as an estimate of the claims yet to be
paid. The Company is currently determining what action to take
against the insurance company.

Deferred Compensation Plans |
As a result of the acquisition of Citizens Commercial Trust and
Savings Bank of Pasadena (CCT&SB) in 1996, the
Bank assumed deferred compensation and salary continuation
agreements with several former employees of CCT&SB. These
agreements call for periodic payments at the retirement of such
employees who have normal retirement dates through 2021. In
connection with these agreements, the Bank assumed life
insurance policies, which it intends to use to fund the related
liability. Benefits paid to retirees amounted to approximately
$109,000 (2004), $178,000 (2003), and $181,000 (2002).
The Bank also assumed a death benefit program for certain former
employees of CCT&SB, under which the Bank will provide
benefits to the former employees beneficiaries: 1) in
the event of death while employed by the Bank; 2) after
termination of employment for total and permanent disability;
3) after retirement, if retirement occurs after
age 65. Amounts are to be paid to the former
employees beneficiaries over a 10-year period in equal
installments. Further, the Bank assumed life insurance policies
to fund any future liability related to this program. Amounts
paid for the benefit of retirees totaled approximately $170,000
in each of 2004, 2003, and 2002.
The Company assumed certain deferred compensation and salary
continuation agreements as a result of the merger with Orange
National Bancorp (ONB) in 1999. These agreements
called for periodic payments over 180 months in the event
that ONB experienced a merger, acquisition, or other act wherein
the employees were not retained in similar positions with the
surviving company. Amounts paid under these agreements totaled
approximately $60,000 in each of 2004, 2003, and 2002.
The Company assumed certain deferred compensation and salary
continuation agreements as a result of the merger with Western
Security Bank (WSB) in 2002. These agreements called
for periodic payments over 180 months in the event that WSB
experienced a merger, acquisition, or other act wherein the
employees were not retained in similar positions with the
surviving company. Amounts paid under these agreements totaled
approximately $498,000 in 2004 and 2003, and $208,000 in 2002.
In 2003, the acquired Kaweah National Bank (KNB) had
severance arrangements with several of its officers should they
not retain a similar position upon a change of control. These
monies totaling $879,000 were paid into a Rabbi Trust by KNB
prior to the closing of the acquisition. The Bank and the
Company have no further commitments under these arrangements.

|
13. |
401(k) and Profit-Sharing Plan |
The Bank sponsors a 401(k) and profit-sharing plan for the
benefit of its employees. Employees are eligible to participate
in the plan after 12 months of consecutive service,
provided they have completed 1,000 service hours in the plan
year. Employees may make contributions to the plan under the
plans 401(k) component. The Bank contributes 3%,
non-matching, to the plan to comply with ERISAs safe
harbor provisions. The Bank may make additional contributions
under the plans profit-sharing component, subject to
certain limitations. The Banks total contributions are
determined by the Board of Directors and amounted to
approximately $2,480,000 (2004), $2,162,000 (2003), and
$1,735,000 (2002).

In May 2000, the Company approved a stock option plan that
authorizes the issuance of up to 4,726,563 shares (all
share amounts have been adjusted to reflect stock dividends and
splits) of our stock, and expires in March 2010. The Company
also has a stock option plan approved in 1991 that authorized
the issuance of up to 6,065,951 shares and expired in
February 2001. Under both plans option prices are determined at
the fair market value of such shares on the date of grant, and
options are exercisable in such installments as determined by
the Board of Directors.
As a result of the merger with Orange National Bank
(ONB), the Company maintains two compensatory
incentive stock option plans in which options to purchase shares
of Company common stock were granted. At December 31, 2004,
options for the purchase of 21,270 shares were outstanding
and exercisable. There are no further shares available for
granting under these plans.

CVB FINANCIAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
The Company (on a consolidated basis) and the Bank are subject
to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the
federal banking regulatory agencies. Failure to meet minimum
capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory
and possibly additional discretionary actions by
regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct, material
effect on the Companys and the Banks financial
statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory
framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and Bank
must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative
measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet
items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The
capital amounts and classification are also subject to
qualitative judgment by the regulators about components,
risk-weightings, and other factors. Prompt corrective action
provisions are not applicable to bank holding companies.
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure
capital adequacy require the Company and the Bank to maintain
minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of
total and Tier I capital (primarily common stock and
retained earnings, less goodwill) to risk-weighted assets, and
of Tier I capital to average assets. Management believes
that, as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, the Company and the
Bank meet all capital adequacy requirements to which they are
subject.
As of December 31, 2004 and 2003, the most recent
notifications from the FDIC categorized the Bank as well
capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective
action. To be categorized as well capitalized, the minimum total
risk-based, Tier I risk-based, and Tier I leverage
(tangible Tier I capital divided by average total assets)
ratios as set forth in the table below must be maintained. There
are no conditions or events since said notification that
management believes have changed the Banks category.

In addition, California Banking Law limits the amount of
dividends a bank can pay without obtaining prior approval from
bank regulators. Under this law, the Bank could, as of
December 31, 2004, declare and pay additional dividends of
approximately $74,847,000.
Banking regulations require that all banks maintain a percentage
of their deposits as reserves at the Federal Reserve Board
(FRB). On December 31, 2004, this reserve
requirement was approximately $400,000.

CVB FINANCIAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
The methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of
each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable
to estimate that value are explained below:
The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents is considered
to be a reasonable estimate of fair value. For investment
securities, fair values are based on quoted market prices,
dealer quotes, and prices obtained from an independent pricing
service.
The carrying amount of loans and lease finance receivables is
their contractual amounts outstanding, Variable rate loans are
composed primarily of loans whose interest rates float with
changes in the prime interest rate. The carrying amount of
variable rate loans, other than such loans on nonaccrual status,
is considered to be their estimated fair value.
The fair value of fixed rate loans, other than such loans on
nonaccrual status, was estimated by discounting the remaining
contractual cash flows using the estimated current rate at which
similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit
risk characteristics and for the same remaining maturities,
reduced by deferred net loan origination fees and the allocable
portion of the allowance for credit losses. Accordingly, in
determining the estimated current rate for discounting purposes,
no adjustment has been made for any change in borrowers
credit risks since the origination of such loans. Rather, the
allocable portion of the allowance for credit losses is
considered to provide for such changes in estimating fair value.
The fair value of loans on nonaccrual status has not been
specifically estimated because it is not practicable to
reasonably assess the credit risk adjustment that would be
applied in the marketplace for such loans. As such, the
estimated fair value of total loans at December 31, 2004
and 2003 includes the carrying amount of nonaccrual loans at
each respective date.
The fair value of commitments to extend credit and standby
letters of credit were not significant at either
December 31, 2004 or 2003, as these instruments
predominantly have adjustable terms and are of a short-term
nature.
The amounts of accrued interest receivable on loans and lease
finance receivables and investments are considered to be stated
at fair value.
The amounts payable to depositors for demand, savings, money
market accounts, the demand note to the U.S. Treasury,
short-term borrowings, and the related accrued interest payable
are considered to be stated at fair value. The fair value of
fixed-maturity certificates of deposit is estimated using the
rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining
maturities. The fair value of long-term borrowings and junior
subordinated debentures is estimated using the rates currently
offered for borrowings of similar remaining maturities.
The fair value estimates presented herein are based on pertinent
information available to management as of December 31, 2004
and 2003. Although management is not aware of any factors that
would significantly affect the estimated fair value amounts,
such amounts have not been comprehensively revalued for purposes
of these financial statements since that date, and therefore,
current estimates of fair value may differ significantly from
the amounts presented above.

decrease shall resume the status which they had prior to the adoption of
the resolution originally fixing the number of shares of such series.

respect to the setting aside of sums as a sinking fund or for a
redemption account on any class of stock, then and not otherwise, the
holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive, subject to the
applicable provisions of the Corporations Code of the State of
California, such dividends as may be declared from time to time by the
Board of Directors.

liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Corporation, as provided
for in the Corporations Code of the State of California, the holders of
the Common Stock shall be entitled to receive all the remaining assets
of the Corporation.
(3) Each holder of Common Stock shall have one (1) vote in
respect of each share of stock held by him, subject, however, to such
special voting rights by class as are or may be granted to holders of
Serial Preferred Stock.
3. That the foregoing Amendment of Articles of Incorporation has been
