NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
For the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accompanying condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements and notes thereto have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for Form 10-Q and conform to practices within the banking industry and include all of the information and disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial reporting. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements, accounting policies and financial notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments), which are necessary for a fair presentation of financial results for the interim periods presented. 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 subsidiary: Citizens Business Bank (the “Bank”) after elimination of all intercompany transactions and balances. The Company also has three inactive subsidiaries; CVB Ventures, Inc.; Chino Valley Bancorp; and ONB Bancorp. The Company is also the common stockholder of CVB Statutory Trust I, CVB Statutory Trust II and CVB Statutory Trust III. CVB Statutory Trusts I and II were created in December 2003 and CVB Statutory Trust III was created in January 2006 to issue trust preferred securities in order to raise capital for the Company. The Company also acquired trust preferred securities through the acquisition of First Coastal Bancshares (“FCB”). In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 46R “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (“FIN No. 46R”), these trusts do not meet the criteria for consolidation.

Nature of Operations — The Company’s 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 also provides automobile and equipment leasing and brokers mortgage loans to customers through its Citizens Financial Services Division (formerly known as Golden West Financial Division) and offers trust services to customers through its CitizensTrust Division. The Bank’s customers consist primarily of small to mid-sized businesses and individuals located in San Bernardino County, Riverside County, Orange County, Los Angeles County, Madera County, Fresno County, Tulare County, Kern County and San Joaquin County. The Bank operates 44 Business Financial Centers and three Commercial Banking Centers with its headquarters located in the city of Ontario.

The Company’s operating business units have been combined into two main segments: (i) Business Financial and Commercial Banking Centers and (ii) Treasury. Business Financial and Commercial Banking Centers (branches) is comprised of loans, deposits, products and services the Bank offers to the majority of its customers. The other segment is Treasury, which manages the investment portfolio of the Company. The Company’s remaining centralized functions and eliminations of inter-segment amounts have been aggregated and included in “Other.”

The internal reporting of the Company considers all business units. Funds are allocated to each business unit based on its need to fund assets (use of funds) or its need to invest funds (source of funds).

Net income is determined based on the actual net income of the business unit plus the allocated income or expense based on the sources and uses of funds for each business unit. Non-interest income and non-interest expense are those items directly attributable to a business unit.

Cash and due from banks — Cash on hand, cash items in the process of collection, and amounts due from correspondent banks and the Federal Reserve Bank are included in Cash and due from banks.

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, 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 effective-yield method over the terms of the securities. For mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”), 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 Company’s 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. In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into commitments to extend credit to its customers. These commitments are not reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. As of September 30, 2008, the Company entered into commitments with certain customers amounting to $757.0 million compared to $747.5 million at December 31, 2007. Letters of credit at September 30, 2008, and December 31, 2007, were $61.7 million and $60.9 million, respectively.

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.

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 using the effective-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 management’s 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 that would deserve current recognition in estimating inherent credit losses. The estimate is reviewed quarterly by management and periodically by 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. During the first nine months of 2008, we recorded a provision for credit losses of $8.7 million. The allowance for credit losses was $40.1 million as of September 30, 2008. This represents

an increase of $7.0 million when compared with an allowance for credit losses of $33.0 million as of December 31, 2007.

In addition to the allowance for credit losses, the Company also has a reserve for undisbursed commitments for loans and letters of credit. This reserve is carried in the liabilities section of the balance sheet in other liabilities. Provisions to this reserve are included in other expense. For the nine months of 2008, the Company recorded an increase of $1.2 million in the reserve for undisbursed commitments. As of September 30, 2008, the balance in this reserve was $4.0 million.

A loan for which collection of principal and interest according to its original terms is not probable is considered to be impaired. The Company’s 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.

At September 30, 2008, the Company had impaired loans of $19.1 million. Of this amount, $8.0 million consisted of non-accrual residential construction and residential land loans, $2.1 million of non-accrual single family mortgage loans, $6.2 million of non-accrual commercial loans, $300,000 of non-accrual consumer loans and one loan of $2.5 million whose terms were modified in a troubled debt restructure. As a result of the restructure of this one loan, $598,000 was charged-off during the quarter ended September 30, 2008. The loans are supported by collateral with a fair value less selling costs, net of prior liens, of $16.3 million. The amount of specific reserve for these loans was $2.8 million at September 30, 2008. At December 31, 2007, the Bank had one impaired loan with a balance of $1.1 million.

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 40 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 in fair value of assets and their carrying value. The impairment loss, if any, would be recorded in noninterest expense.

Other Real Estate Owned — Other real estate owned (“OREO”) 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. As of September 30, 2008, we had $1.9 million in OREO. This balance consists of $1.1 million representing a foreclosed condominium construction project, $315,000 for one single family residence from our mortgage pools and $475,000 for one residential construction loan. There was no OREO at December 31, 2007.

Business Combinations 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 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 and intangible assets for impairment. The Company completed its annual impairment test as of July 1, 2008, and did not record any impairment of goodwill.

At September 30, 2008 goodwill was $55.1 million. As of September 30, 2008, intangible assets that continue to be subject to amortization include core deposit premiums of $11.9 million (net of $15.2 million of accumulated amortization). Amortization expense for such intangible assets was $2.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. Estimated amortization expense, for the remainder of 2008 is expected to be $897,000. Estimated amortization expense, for the succeeding five fiscal years is $3.0 million for year one, $2.9 million for year two, $2.8 million for year three, $1.6 million for year four and $653,000 for year five. The weighted average remaining life of intangible assets is approximately 3.3 years.

Bank Owned Life Insurance — The Bank invests in Bank-Owned Life Insurance (BOLI). BOLI involves the purchasing of life insurance by the Bank on a select group of employees. The Bank is the owner and beneficiary of these policies. BOLI is recorded as an asset at cash surrender value. Increases in the cash value of these policies, as well as insurance proceeds received, are recorded in other non-interest income and are not subject to income tax.

As of January 1, 2008, the Company adopted EITF 06-4, “Accounting for Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefit Aspects of Endorsement Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements.” EITF 06-4 requires that for a split-dollar life insurance arrangement, an employer should recognize a liability for future benefits in accordance with SFAS 106, “Employers’ Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions” or APB Opinion No. 12, “Omnibus Opinion — 1967.” The adoption did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations. The cumulative effect of the adoption was recorded in equity.

Income Taxes — Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Future realization of deferred tax assets ultimately depends on the existence of sufficient taxable income of the appropriate character (for example, ordinary income or capital gain) within the carryback or carryforward periods available under the tax law. Based on historical and future expected taxable earnings and available strategies, the Company considers the future realization of these deferred tax assets more likely than not.

The Company adopted FIN 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return and provides that the tax effects from an uncertain tax position can be recognized in the financial statements only if, based on its merits, the position is more likely than not to be sustained on audit by the taxing authorities. Management believes that all tax positions taken to date are highly certain and, accordingly, no accounting adjustment has been made to the financial statements. Interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions are recorded as part of other operating expense.

Earnings per Common Share — Basic earnings per common share are computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period. The computation of diluted earnings per common share considers the number of tax-effected shares issuable upon the assumed exercise of outstanding common stock options. Share and per share amounts have been retroactively restated to give effect to all stock dividends and splits. The number of shares outstanding at September 30, 2008 was 83,270,263. The tables below presents the reconciliation of earnings per share for the periods indicated.

Stock-Based Compensation — At September 30, 2008, the Company has three stock-based employee compensation plans, two of which are described more fully in Note 15 in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.

At the annual shareholders meeting in May 2008, the shareholders approved the 2008 Equity Incentive Plan which authorizes the issuance of up to 3,949,891 shares of Company common stock for grants of stock options and restricted stock to employees, officers, consultants and directors of the Company and its subsidiaries, and expires in 2018. The plan authorizes the issuance of incentive and non-qualified stock options, as well as, restricted stock awards. No further grants will be made under the 2000 Stock Option Plan, but shares may continue to be issued under such plan pursuant to grants previously made.

Derivative Financial Instruments — The Company accounts for derivatives in accordance with SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended and interpreted. Pursuant to the requirements of SFAS No. 133, all derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, are to be recognized on the consolidated balance sheet at fair value. For derivatives designated as fair value hedges, changes in the fair value of the derivative and the hedged item related to the hedged risk are recognized in earnings. Changes in fair value of derivatives designated and accounted for as cash flow hedges, to the extent they are effective as hedges, are recorded in “Other Comprehensive Income,” net of deferred taxes and are subsequently reclassified to earnings

when the hedged transaction affects earnings. Any hedge ineffectiveness would be recognized in the income statement line item pertaining to the hedged item.

The Bank is exposed to certain risks relating to its ongoing business operations. The primary risks managed by using derivative instruments are market risk and interest rate risk. As of September 30, 2008, the Bank entered into 16 interest-rate swap agreement with customers and 16 with a counterparty bank. The swaps are not designated as hedging instruments. The purpose of entering into offsetting derivatives not designated as a hedging instrument is to provide the Bank a variable-rate loan receivable and provide the customer the financial effects of a fixed-rate loan without creating volatility in the bank’s earnings.

The structure of the swaps is as follows. The Bank enters into a swap with its customers to allow them to convert variable rate loans to fixed rate loans, and at the same time, the Bank enters into a swap with the counterparty bank to allow the Bank to pass on the interest-rate risk associated with fixed rate loans. The net effect of the transaction allows the Bank to receive interest on the loan from the customer at a variable rate based on LIBOR plus a spread. The changes in the market value of the swaps primarily offset each other and therefore do not have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations.

As of September 30, 2008, the total notional amount of the Bank’s swaps was $49.8 million. The following tables present the location of the asset and liability and the amount of gain recognized as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2008.

Statement of Cash Flows - Cash and cash equivalents as reported in the statements of cash flows include cash and due from banks. Cash flows from loans and deposits are reported net.

CitizensTrust — This division provides trust, investment and brokerage related services, as well as financial, estate and business succession planning services. The Company maintains funds in trust for customers. CitizensTrust has approximately $2.5 billion in assets under administration and $839 million in assets under management. 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.

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 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. A material estimate that is particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relates to the determination of the allowance for credit losses. Other significant estimates which may be subject to change include fair value disclosures, impairment of investments and goodwill, and valuation of deferred tax assets and other intangibles.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements — On October 10, 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS 157-3, “Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset Is Not Active,” which clarifies how companies should apply the fair value measurement methodologies of SFAS 157 to financial assets when markets they are traded in are illiquid or inactive. Under the provisions of this FSP, companies may use their own assumptions about future cash flows and appropriately risk-adjusted discount rates when relevant observable inputs are either not available or are based solely on transaction prices that reflect forced liquidations or distressed sales. This FSP is effective as of September 30, 2008. There was no impact to our financial position or results of operations from the adoption of this FSP.

In December 2007, the FASB issued a revision to SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations,” SFAS No. 141(R). SFAS No. 141(R) requires an acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date, with limited exceptions specified in the Statement. This replaces SFAS No. 141’s cost-allocation process, which required the cost of the acquisition to be allocated to the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. SFAS No. 141(R) is applied prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. An entity may not apply it before that date. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 141(R) to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations. The Company is evaluating the impact this standard will have on future transactions.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Non-controlling Interest in Consolidated Financial Statements — an amendment of ARB No. 51.” SFAS No. 160 amends ARB No. 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for non-controlling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies that a non-controlling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods, within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Early adoption is prohibited. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 160 to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” SFAS 161 amends and expands SFAS No. 131, requiring enhanced disclosures that would enable financial-statement users to understand how and why a company uses derivative instruments and better understand their effects on an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS 161 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods, within those fiscal years,

beginning on or after November 15, 2008. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 161 to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Reclassification — Certain amounts in the prior periods’ financial statements and related footnote disclosures have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation with no impact on previously reported net income or stockholders’ equity.

Shareholder Rights Plan — The Company has 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 the Company’s Series A Participating Preferred Stock at an initial exercise price of $50.00 (subject to adjustment as described in the terms of the plan) upon the occurrence of certain triggering events. For additional information concerning this plan, see Note 11 to Consolidated Financial Statements, “Commitments and Contingencies” contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.

Other Contingencies — In the ordinary course of business, the Company becomes involved in litigation. Based upon the Company’s internal records and discussions with legal counsel, the Company records reserves for estimates of the probable outcome of all cases brought against them. At September 30, 2008, the Company does not have any litigation reserves and is not aware of any material pending legal action or complaints asserted against the Company.

Business Segments — The Company has identified two principal reportable segments: Business Financial and Commercial Banking Centers and the Treasury Department. The Company’s subsidiary bank has 44 Business Financial Centers and 3 Commercial Banking Centers (branches), organized in 6 geographic regions, which are the focal points for customer sales and services. The Company utilizes an internal reporting system to measure the performance of various operating segments within the Bank which is the basis for determining the Bank’s reportable segments. The Chief Operating Decision Maker (currently our CEO) regularly reviews the financial information of these segments in deciding how to allocate resources and assessing performance. The Bank’s geographic regions are considered operating segments and have been aggregated for segment reporting purposes because the products and services are similar and are sold to similar types of customers, have similar production and distribution processes, have similar economic characteristics, and have similar reporting and organizational structures. The Treasury Department’s primary focus is managing the Bank’s investments, liquidity, and interest rate risk. Information related to the Company’s remaining operating segments which include construction lending, dairy and livestock lending, SBA lending, leasing, and centralized functions have been aggregated and included in “Other.” In addition, the Company allocates internal funds transfer pricing to the segments using a methodology that charges users of funds interest expense and credits providers of funds interest income with the net effect of this allocation being recorded in administration.

The following table represents the selected financial information for these two business segments. Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America do not have an authoritative body of knowledge regarding the management accounting used in presenting segment financial information. The accounting policies for each of the business units is the same as those policies identified for the consolidated Company and identified in the footnote on the summary of significant accounting policies. The income numbers represent the actual income and expenses of each business unit. In addition, each segment has allocated income and expenses based on management’s internal reporting system, which allows management to determine the performance of each of its business units. Loan fees, included in the “Business Financial and Commercial Banking Centers” category are the actual loan fees paid to the Company by its customers. These fees are eliminated and deferred in the “Other” category, resulting in deferred loan fees for the consolidated financial statements. All income and expense items not directly associated with the two business segments are grouped in the “Other” category. Future changes in

the Company’s management structure or reporting methodologies may result in changes in the measurement of operating segment results.

The following tables present the operating results and other key financial measures for the individual reportable segments for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007:

Fair Value Information — Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” for financial assets and liabilities. In accordance with FASB Statement of Position, FSP No. 157-2, the Company has not applied the provisions of SFAS No. 157 to non-financial assets and liabilities, such as, fixed assets, goodwill, intangibles, and OREO. SFAS No. 157 clarifies the definition of fair value, describes methods used to appropriately measure fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and expands fair value disclosure requirements. This statement applies whenever other accounting pronouncements require or permit fair value measurements.

The fair value hierarchy under SFAS No. 157 prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels (Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3).

	•		Level 1 — Valuation is based upon quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.

	•		Level 2 — Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market.

•

Level 3 — Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use significant assumptions not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect the Company’s own estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques include use of option pricing models, discounted cash flows and similar techniques.

The Company performs fair value measurements on certain assets and liabilities as the result of the application of accounting guidelines and pronouncements that were relevant prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 157. Some fair value measurements, such as for available-for-sale securities and interest rate swaps are performed on a recurring basis, while others, such as impaired loans, impairment of goodwill and other intangibles, are performed on a nonrecurring basis.

Investment securities available-for-sale are valued based upon quotes obtained from a reputable third-party pricing service. The service uses evaluated pricing applications and model processes. Market inputs, such as, benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers and reference data are considered as part of the evaluation. The inputs are related directly to the security being evaluated, or indirectly to a similarly situated security. Market assumptions and market data are utilized in the valuation models. Accordingly, the Company categorized its investment portfolio as a Level 2 valuation.

The fair value of the interest rate swap contracts are provided by our counterparty using a system that constructs a yield curve based on cash LIBOR rates, Eurodollar futures contracts, and 3-year through 30-year swap rates. The yield curve determines the valuations of the interest rate swaps. Accordingly, the swap is categorized as a Level 2 valuation.

In accordance with SFAS No. 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan, an Amendment of FASB Statements No. 5 and 15, the Company’s impaired loans are generally measured

using the fair value of the underlying collateral, which is determined based on the most recent appraisal information received, less costs to sell. These loans fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Appraised values may be adjusted based on factors such as the changes in market conditions from the time of valuation. These loans fall within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. As of September 30, 2008, impaired loans totaled $19.1 million, with a specific reserve of $2.8 million, resulting in a fair value of $16.3 million.


ITEM 2.		MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

GENERAL

Management’s discussion and analysis is written to provide greater insight into the results of operations and the financial condition of CVB Financial Corp. and its subsidiaries. Throughout this discussion, “Company” refers to CVB Financial Corp. and its subsidiaries as a consolidated entity. “CVB” refers to CVB Financial Corp. as the unconsolidated parent company and “Bank” refers to Citizens Business Bank. For a more complete understanding of the Company and its operations, reference should be made to the financial statements included in this report and in the Company’s 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Certain statements in this Report on Form 10-Q constitute “forward-looking statements” under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 which involve risks and uncertainties. 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 including changes resulting from a prolonged economic downturn, adverse capital and credit market conditions and volatility within those markets, competition in the geographic and business areas in which we conduct operations, natural disasters, ability to successfully integrate acquisitions, fluctuations in interest rates, ability of borrowers to perform under the terms of their loans, credit quality, and government regulations. For additional information concerning these factors and other factors which may cause actual results to differ from the results discussed in our forward-looking statements, see the periodic filings the Company makes with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and in particular “Item 1A. Risk Factors” contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007. The Company does not undertake, and specifically disclaims, any obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect the occurrence of events or circumstances after the date of such statements except as required by law.

OVERVIEW

We are a bank holding company with one bank subsidiary, Citizens Business 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, CVB Statutory Trust II and CVB Statutory Trust III which were formed to issue trust preferred securities in order to increase the capital of the Company. Through our acquisition of FCB in September 2007, we acquired FCB Capital Trust I and II. We are based in Ontario, California in what is known as the “Inland Empire”. Our geographical market area encompasses the City of Stockton (the middle of the Central Valley) in the center of California to the City of Laguna Beach (in Orange County) in the southern portion of California. Through our acquisition of FCB our geographic market has expanded to include the South Bay region of Los Angeles County. 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, borrowings, and salaries and benefits. As such our net income is subject to fluctuations in interest rates and their impact on our income statement. 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, as well as our net interest margin.

Economic conditions in our California service area impact our business. We have seen a significant decline in the housing market resulting in slower growth in construction loans and a decrease in deposit balances from escrow companies. Unemployment is increasing. Job growth is slowing and the Inland Empire and other areas of our marketplace have been significantly impacted as economic conditions continue to deteriorate. Approximately 22% of our total loan portfolio of $3.6 billion is located in the Inland Empire region of California. The balance of the portfolio is from outside of this region.

Weaknesses in the local economy could adversely affect us through diminished loan demand, credit quality deterioration, and increases in loan delinquencies and defaults.

Over the past few years, we have been active in acquisitions and we will continue to pursue acquisition targets which will enable us to meet our business objectives and enhance shareholder value. Since 2000, we have acquired four banks and a leasing company, and we have opened five de novo branches: Glendale, Bakersfield, Fresno, Madera, and Stockton. In February 2008, we opened our first Commercial Banking Center in Encino, California. In May 2008, we opened two additional Commercial Banking Centers, one for the Inland Empire region and one for Orange County. These centers will operate primarily as a sales office and focus on business clients and their principals, professionals, and high net-worth individuals.

Our net income increased to $50.8 million for the first nine months of 2008 compared with $47.2 million for the first nine months of 2007, an increase of $3.6 million or 7.58%. Diluted earnings per share increased to $0.61 per share for 2008, from $0.56 per share in 2007. The increase of $3.6 million is primarily the result of the decrease in interest expense by $28.0 million offset by a decrease in interest income of $6.1 million, increases in other operating expenses of $9.9 million and an increase of $8.7 million in provision for credit losses.

Net income increased to $17.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2008 compared with $16.1 million for the same period in 2007, an increase of $1.3 million or 8.31%. Diluted earnings per share increased to $0.21 per share for the third quarter of 2008, from $0.19 per share for the third quarter of 2007. The increase of $1.3 million is primarily the result of the decrease in interest expense by $11.7 million offset by a decrease in interest income of $4.4 million, increases in other operating expenses of $1.8 million and an increase of $4.0 million in provision for credit losses.

Although our loans and investments for the first nine months of 2008 compared with the first nine months of 2007 has grown, our interest income has decreased slightly due to lower interest rates. The Bank has always had an excellent base of interest free deposits primarily due to our specialization in businesses and professionals as customers. This has allowed us to have a low cost of deposits, currently 1.16% for the nine months of 2008.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

Critical accounting estimates 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 estimates upon which our financial condition depends, and which involve the most complex or subjective decisions or assessments 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 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 credit losses, see the “Risk Management” section of this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Investment Portfolio: The investment portfolio is an integral part of the Company’s 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-related securities (i.e., securities that are collateralized and payments received from underlying mortgages), 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 turnover 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-related 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 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, 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, except for mortgage-related securities as discussed in the previous paragraph. Our investment in Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) stock is carried at cost.

Income Taxes: We account for income taxes using the asset and liability method by deferring income taxes based on estimated future tax effects of 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 in 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 any of our deferred tax assets, there is no guarantee that these assets are recoverable.

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 determined through the use of internal and external valuation techniques. The purchase price is allocated to assets and liabilities, including 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.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

There have been significant disruptions in the U.S. and international financial system during the period covered by this report. As a result, available credit has been reduced or ceased to exist. The reduction in availability of credit, loss of confidence in the entire financial sector, and volatility in financial markets adversely affects the Company and the Bank. Although we do not actively lend in the home mortgage market, we have experienced a decline in fair value of some of our investment securities as a result of the disruptions in the financial markets. Continued disruptions in the financial system are

likely to have an ongoing adverse impact on all institutions in the U.S. banking and financial industries. The U.S. government, the governments of other countries, and multinational institutions have provided vast amounts of liquidity and capital into the banking system.

In response to the financial crises affecting the overall banking system and financial markets in the United States, on October 3, 2008, the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (“EESA”) was enacted. Under that act, the United States Treasury Department (“Treasury”) has authority, among other things, to purchase mortgages, mortgage backed securities and certain other financial instruments from financial institutions for the purpose of stabilizing and providing liquidity to the U.S. financial markets.

On October 3, 2008, the Troubled Asset Relief Program (“TARP”) was signed into law. TARP gave the Treasury authority to deploy up to $750 billion into the financial system with an objective of improving liquidity in capital markets. On October 24, 2008, Treasury announced plans to direct $250 billion of this authority into preferred stock investments in banks. The general terms of this preferred stock program include:

	•		dividends on the Treasury’s preferred stock at a rate of 5% for the first five years and 9% dividends thereafter;

	•		stock splits are prohibited, but common stock dividends are allowed;

	•		common stock dividends cannot be increased for three years while Treasury is an investor unless preferred stock is redeemed or consent from Treasury is received;

	•		the Treasury preferred stock cannot be redeemed for three years unless the participating institution raises qualifying private capital;

	•		Treasury must consent to any buy back of other stock (common or other preferred);

	•		Treasury receives warrants equal to 15% of Treasury’s total investment in the participating institution;

	•		participating institution’s executives must agree to certain compensation restrictions, and

	•		restrictions on the amount of executive compensation which is tax deductible.

The term of this Treasury preferred stock program could reduce investment returns to participating banks’ shareholders by restricting dividends to common shareholders, diluting existing shareholders’ interests, and restricting capital management practices. The Company and the Bank meet all applicable regulatory capital requirements and remain well capitalized. We currently expect to participate in the TARP capital purchase program and have made an application for the sale of shares of its preferred stock.

Federal and state governments could pass additional legislation responsive to current credit conditions. As a result, we could experience higher credit losses because of federal or state legislation or regulatory action that reduces the principal amount or interest rate under existing loan contracts. Also, we could experience higher credit losses because of federal or state legislation or regulatory action that limits the Bank’s ability to foreclose on property or other collateral or makes foreclosure less economically feasible.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insures deposits at FDIC insured financial institutions up to certain limits. The FDIC charges insured financial institutions premiums to maintain the Deposit Insurance Fund. Current economic conditions have increased expectations for bank failures, in which case, the FDIC would take control of failed banks and ensure payment of deposits up to insured limits using the resources of the Deposit Insurance Fund. In such case, the FDIC may increase premium assessments to maintain adequate funding of the Deposit Insurance Fund, including requiring riskier institutions to pay a larger share of the premiums. An increase in premium assessments would increase the Company’s expenses. The EESA included a provision for an increase in the amount of deposits insured by FDIC to $250,000 until December 2009. On October 14, 2008, the FDIC announced a new program — the Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program that provides unlimited deposit insurance on funds in noninterest-bearing transaction deposit accounts not otherwise covered by the existing deposit insurance

limit of $250,000. All eligible institutions will be covered under the program for the first 30 days without incurring any costs. After the initial period, participating institutions will be assessed an annualized 10 basis point surcharge on the additional insured deposits. The behavior of depositors in regard to the level of FDIC insurance could cause the Bank’s existing customers to reduce the amount of deposits held at the Bank, or could cause new customers to open deposit accounts at the Bank. We have decided to remain in this program for the benefit of our customer base. The level and composition of our deposit portfolio directly impacts our funding cost and net interest margin. As a result of these measures, it is likely that the premiums we pay for FDIC insurance will increase, which would adversely affect net income. The impact of such measures cannot be assessed at this time.

The actions described above, together with additional actions announced by the Treasury and other regulatory agencies continue to develop. It is not clear at this time what impact, EESA, TARP, other liquidity and funding initiatives of the Treasury and other bank regulatory agencies that have been previously announced, and any additional programs that may be initiated in the future will have on the financial markets and the financial services industry. The extreme levels of volatility and limited credit availability, currently being experienced, could continue to affect the U.S. banking industry and the broader U.S. and global economies, which will have an affect on all financial institutions, including the Company.

ANALYSIS OF THE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Earnings

We reported net earnings of $50.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. This represented an increase of $3.6 million or 7.58%, over net earnings of $47.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. Basic and diluted earnings per share for the nine-month period increased to $0.61 per share for 2008, compared to $0.56 per share for 2007. The annualized return on average assets was 1.07% for the nine months of 2008 compared to an annualized return on average assets of 1.04% for the nine months of 2007. The annualized return on average equity was 15.10% for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, compared to an annualized return of 15.82% for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The decrease in annualized return on average equity for the nine month period is attributed to a higher average equity balance in 2008, as a result of unrealized gains recorded in other comprehensive income during the first three months of 2008 and earnings in excess of dividends.

For the quarter ended September 30, 2008, our net earnings were $17.5 million. This represented an increase of $1.3 million or 8.31%, over net earnings of $16.1 million, for the third quarter of 2007. Basic and diluted earnings per share increased to $0.21 per share for the third quarter of 2008 compared to $0.19 per share for the third quarter of 2007. The annualized return on average assets was 1.08% for the third quarter of 2008 and 1.04% for the third quarter of 2007. The annualized return on average equity was 15.55% for the third quarter of 2008 compared to an annualized return on average equity of 15.99% for the third quarter of 2007.

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). Net interest margin is the taxable-equivalent of net interest income as a percentage of average earning assets for the period. The level of interest rates and the volume and mix of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities impact net interest income and 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 our overall performance. Our balance sheet is currently

liability-sensitive; meaning interest-bearing liabilities will generally reprice more quickly than earning assets. Therefore, our net interest margin is likely to decrease in sustained periods of rising interest rates and increase in sustained periods of declining interest rates. We manage net interest income by 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, after the provision for credit losses, totaled $132.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. This represented an increase of $13.2 million, or 11.00%, over net interest income, after provision for credit losses, of $119.8 million for the same period in 2007. The increase in net interest income of $13.2 million resulted from a $28.0 million decrease in interest expense, offset by a $6.1 million decrease in interest income and $8.7 million provision for credit losses recorded in the first nine months of 2008.

Interest income totaled $249.7 million for the first nine months of 2008. This represented a decrease of $6.1 million, or 2.38%, compared to total interest income of $255.8 million for the same period last year. The decrease in interest income was primarily the result of the decrease in average yield on earning assets to 5.75% for the nine months of 2008 from 6.20% for the same period of 2007, or 45 basis points. Average earning assets increased by $342.3 million, or 6.04%, from $5.67 billion to $6.01 billion.

Interest expense totaled $108.1 million for the first nine months of 2008. This represented a decrease of $28.0 million, or 20.56%, from total interest expense of $136.0 million for the same period last year. The decrease in interest expense was primarily the result of a decrease in the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities to 3.10% for the first nine months of 2008 from 4.18% for the same period in 2007, or 108 basis points. The decrease in yields and deposits was offset by an increase in average borrowings of $431.3 million, or 19.83%, from $2.17 billion to $2.61 billion.

For the third quarter ended September 30, 2008, the Company’s net interest income, after provision for credit losses, totaled $45.0 million. This represented an increase of $3.3 million, or 7.92%, over net interest income of $41.7 million for the same period in 2007. The increase in net interest income of $3.3 million for the third quarter of 2008 resulted from a decrease of $11.7 million in interest expense, offset by a $4.4 million decrease in interest income and $4.0 million provision of credit losses recorded in the third quarter of 2008.

Interest income totaled $83.5 million for the third quarter of 2008. This represented a decrease of $4.4 million, or 4.98%, compared to total interest income of $87.9 million for the same period last year. The decrease in interest income for the third quarter ending September 30, 2008 as compared to the third quarter ending September 30, 2007 was primarily the result of the decrease in average yield on earning assets to 5.65% for the third quarter of 2008 from 6.28% for the same period of 2007, or 63 basis points. Average earning assets increased by $360.3 million, or 6.29%, from $5.73 billion to $6.09 billion.

Interest expense totaled $34.5 million for the third quarter of 2008. This represented a decrease of $11.7 million or 25.29%, from total interest expense of $46.2 million for the same period last year. The decrease in interest expense was primarily the result of a decrease in the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities to 2.91% for the third quarter ending September 30, 2008 from 4.16% for the same period in 2007, or 125 basis points. The decrease in yields was offset by an increase in average borrowings of $549.9 million, or 25.39%, from $2.17 billion to $2.72 billion.

Table 1 shows the average balances of assets, liabilities, and stockholders’ equity and the related interest income, expense, and yields/rates for the nine-month and three-month period ended September 30, 2008 and 2007. Yields for tax-preferenced investments are shown on a taxable equivalent basis using a 35% tax rate.

As stated above, the net interest margin measures net interest income as a percentage of average earning assets. Our tax effected (TE) net interest margin was 3.37% for the nine months of 2008, compared to 3.02% for the nine months of 2007. Our tax effected (TE) net interest margin for the third quarter of 2008 was 3.43%, compared to 3.11% for the third quarter of 2007. The increase in the net interest margin over the same period last year is primarily the result of the decreasing interest rate environment, which impacted interest earned and interest paid as a percent of earning assets. This was partially offset by changes in the mix of assets and liabilities as discussed in the following paragraphs. Generally, our net interest margin improves in a decreasing interest rate environment as our deposits and borrowings reprice much faster than our loans and securities.

The net interest spread is the difference between the yield on average earning assets and 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 2.65% for the nine months of 2008 and 2.02% for the same period last year. The increase in the net interest spread for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 resulted from a 108 basis point decrease in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities, offset by a 45 basis point decrease in the yield on earning assets, thus generating a 63 basis point increase in the net interest spread from the same period last year.

For the third quarter of 2008, the Company’s net interest spread (TE) was 2.74% as compared to 2.12% for the same period last year. The increase in net interest spread for the third quarter ended September 30, 2008 resulted from a 125 basis point decrease in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities,

offset by a 63 basis point decrease in the yield on earning assets, thus generating a 62 basis point increase in the net interest spread from the same period last year.

The yield (TE) on earning assets decreased to 5.75% for the nine months of 2008, from 6.20% for the same period last year, and reflects a decreasing interest rate environment and a change in the mix of earning assets. Average loans as a percent of earning assets increased to 57.54% in the nine months of 2008 from 56.04% for the same period in 2007. Average investments as a percent of earning assets decreased to 40.97% in the nine months of 2008 from 42.49% for the same period in 2007. The yield on loans for the first nine months of 2008 decreased to 6.15% as compared to 6.95% for the same period in 2007 as a result of the decreasing interest rate environment during that period. The yield on loans decline at a slower rate than general interest rates as approximately 80% of the Company’s loans are fixed-rate loans or hybrid adjustable loans with interest rates that are fixed typically for the first five or ten years of the loans. The yield (TE) on investments for the first nine months of 2008 decreased to 5.20% as compared to 5.25% for the same period in 2007. The decrease in rates, offset by increases in average loan and investment balances, resulted in a decrease in our interest income.

The cost of average interest-bearing liabilities decreased to 3.10% for the first nine months of 2008 as compared to 4.18% for the same period in 2007, reflecting the decrease in interest rates and a change in the mix of interest-bearing liabilities. The fact that the cost of interest-bearing liabilities dropped more than the yield on earning assets is due to the liability-sensitive nature of our balance sheet. Average borrowings as a percent of average interest-bearing liabilities increased to 56.64% during the first nine months of 2008 as compared to 50.34% for the same period in 2007. The cost of borrowings for the first nine months of 2008 decreased to 4.03% as compared to 5.00% for the same period in 2007, reflecting the decrease in interest rates. Borrowings typically have a higher cost than interest-bearing deposits. The cost of interest-bearing deposits for the first nine months of 2008 decreased to 1.89% as compared to 3.34% for the same period in 2007, also reflecting the decrease in interest rates. 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, we pay interest on NOW and Money Market Accounts. The decrease in rates and decrease in average interest-bearing deposits, offset by an increase in average borrowings, resulted in a decrease in our interest expense.

For the third quarter of 2008, the yield (TE) on earning assets decreased to 5.65%, from 6.28% for the same period last year. The cost of average interest-bearing liabilities decreased to 2.91% for the third quarter of 2008 as compared to 4.16% for the same period in 2007. The changes reflect the decreasing interest rate environment and change in mix of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, reflecting similar trends as described above.

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 periods 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 both 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 and primary component of interest income is interest and fees on loans. Interest and fees on loans totaled $159.2 million for the first nine months of 2008. This represented a decrease of $5.9 million, or 3.58%, from interest and fees on loans of $165.1 million for the same period in 2007. The decrease in interest and fees on loans for the first nine months of 2008 reflects the decrease in rates between periods, offset by increases in the average balance of loans. The yield on loans decreased to 6.15% for the first nine months of 2008, compared to 6.95% for the same period in 2007.

Average loans increased 8.86% from $3.18 billion for the first nine months of 2007 to $3.46 billion for the first nine months of 2008.

Interest and fees on loans totaled $53.0 million for the third quarter of 2008. This represented a decrease of $5.7 million, or 9.75%, from interest and fees on loans of $58.7 million for the same period in 2007. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in yields on loans, offset by increases in average loan balances.

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 nonaccrual, 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 September 30, 2008 and 2007.

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. Deferred net loan fees are recognized in interest income over the term of the loan using the effective-yield method. We recognized loan fee income of $4.2 million for the first nine months of 2008, as compared to $4.1 million for the same period in 2007, an increase of $87,000 or 2.12%.

Interest on Investments

The second most important component of interest income is interest on investments, which totaled $90.5 million for the first nine months of 2008. This represented a decrease of $190,000, or 0.21%, from interest on investments of $90.7 million for the same period in 2007. The decrease in interest on investments for the nine months of 2008 from the same period last year was primarily the result of a decrease in the yield on investments offset by an increase in average investments over the same period last year. 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 environment 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 (TE) on investments decreased from 5.25% for the nine months of 2007 to 5.20% for the nine months of 2008. Average investment balances for the first nine months for 2008 increased $60.6 million, or 2.43% over the same period last year.

For the third quarter of 2008, interest income on investments totaled $30.6 million. This represented an increase of $1.4 million, or 4.62%, over interest on investments of $29.2 million for the same period in 2007. The increase in interest on investments for the third quarter of 2008 over the same period last year reflected increases in the average balance of investments offset by decreases in the interest rates. The weighted-average yield (TE) on investments decreased to 5.25% for the third quarter of 2008, compared to 5.29% for the same period in 2007 as a result of the decreasing interest rate environment. Average investment balances for the third quarter of 2008 increased $131.0 million, or 5.46% over third quarter 2007.

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. The provision for credit losses is determined by management as the amount to be added to the allowance for probable credit losses after net charge-offs have been deducted to bring the allowance to an adequate level which, in management’s best estimate, is necessary to absorb probable credit losses within the existing loan portfolio. We made a provision for credit losses of $8.7 million during the first nine months of 2008. We did not make a provision for credit losses during the same period in 2007. We believe the allowance is appropriate as of the end of the period covered by this report. We continually assess the quality of our portfolio to determine whether additional provision for credit losses is necessary. The ratio of the allowance for credit losses to total loans as of September 30,

2008 and 2007 was 1.11% and 0.92%, respectively. No assurance can be given that economic conditions which adversely affect the Company’s service areas, past credit loss experience, the characteristics of our loan portfolio or other circumstances will not be reflected in increased provisions for credit losses in the future. The nature of this process requires considerable judgment. Net charge-offs totaled $1.7 million for the first nine months of 2008 and net recoveries totaled $20,000 during the same period of 2007. See “Risk Management — Credit Risk” herein.

Other Operating Income

Other operating income for the Company includes income derived from special services offered by the Bank, such as CitizensTrust, merchant card, 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; and other revenues not included as interest on earning assets.

Other operating income totaled $25.2 million for the first nine months of 2008. This represents an increase of $1.9 million, or 7.96%, over other operating income of $23.4 million for the same period in 2007. The increase in other operating income was a result of increases in service charge on deposit accounts. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, service charges on deposit accounts was $11.4 million, an increase of $1.6 million or 15.81%, over service charges on deposit accounts of $9.8 million in the same period last year. 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 increase in service charges on deposit accounts was the lower interest rate environment that resulted in a lower account earnings allowance, which offsets services charges.

Other operating income totaled $8.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2008. This represents an increase of $510,000 or 6.49% over total other operating income of $7.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2007. This increase was due to increases in service charge income of $489,000, or 14.64%, over the same period last year.

Other operating income as a percent of net revenues (net interest income before loan loss provision plus other operating income) was 15.11% for the first nine months of 2008, as compared to 16.32% for the same period in 2007.

Other Operating Expenses

Other operating expenses for the Company include expenses for salaries and benefits, occupancy, equipment, stationary and supplies, professional services, amortization of intangibles, and other expenses. Other operating expenses totaled $87.8 million for the first nine months of 2008. This represents an increase of $9.9 million, or 12.66% over other operating expenses of $78.0 million for the same period in 2007. These increases in operating expenses were primarily due to the 4 additional offices acquired through the FCB acquisition in June of 2007 and the new Commercial Banking Centers, in addition to the overall growth of the Company. We also increased our provision for unfunded commitments by $1.2 million during the first nine months of 2008. The increase was primarily due to an increase in loan commitments and more specifically, an increase in classified loans related to those commitments.

For the third quarter of 2008, other operating expenses totaled $29.1 million. This represents an increase of $1.8 million, or 6.76%, over other operating expenses of $27.2 million for the same period last year.

At September 30, 2008, we employed 695 full time equivalent employees, compared to 692 full time equivalent employees at September 30, 2007.

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 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 was 1.84% and 1.72% for the first nine months of 2008 and 2007, respectively.

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 the first nine months of 2008, the efficiency ratio was 55.54%, compared to a ratio of 54.48% for the same period in 2007. For the third quarter of 2008, the efficiency ratio decreased to 54.43% as compared to 54.91% for the same period last year.

Income Taxes

The Company’s effective tax rate for the three and nine months of 2008 was 28.23% and 27.75%, compared to 27.88% and 27.52% for the same periods in 2007. The effective tax rates are below the nominal combined Federal and State tax rates as a result of the increase in tax-preferenced income from certain investments and municipal loans/leases as a percentage of total income for each period. The majority of tax preferenced income is derived from municipal securities.

RESULTS BY BUSINESS SEGMENTS

We have two reportable business segments: Business Financial and Commercial Banking Centers, and Treasury. The results of these two segments are included in the reconciliation between business segment totals and our consolidated total. Our business segments do not include the results of administration units that do not meet the definition of an operating segment.

Business Financial and Commercial Banking Centers

Key measures we use to evaluate the Business Financial and Commercial Banking Center’s performance are included in the following table for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007. The table also provides additional significant segment measures useful to understanding the performance of this segment.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, segment profit decreased by $7.0 million, or 7.30%, compared to the same period last year. This was primarily attributed to the decrease in net interest income due to decreases in yield on loans and rates paid on deposits. Loan yields decreased 80 basis points while average loan balances increased by $281.7 million, or 8.86%. Deposit rates decreased 145 basis points and average interest-bearing deposits decreased by $150.8 million, or 7.03%. Non-interest

income increased $2.5 million, or 18.27% for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 as a result of increases in service charge income. Non-interest expense increased $3.4 million, or 10.52%, due to the operating costs of the new Business Financial and Commercial Banking centers.

For the quarter ending September 30, 2008, segment profit decreased by $6.1 million, or 18.32%, compared to the same period last year, primarily due to a decrease in net interest income as a result of a smaller credit for funds provided on deposits. Non-interest income increased $843,000, or 18.22% for the quarter ended September 30, 2008. Non-interest expense increased $658,000, or 5.71%, over the same period last year.

Treasury

Key measures we use to evaluate the Treasury’s performance are included in the following table for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007. The table also provides additional significant segment measures useful to understanding the performance of this segment

For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, segment profit increased by $20.5 million, or 226.19%, over the same period last year. The increase is attributed to an increase in net interest income due to the fact that a substantial portion of our securities portfolio is fixed rate while our rate on borrowings decreased 97 basis points from 5.00% in the first nine months of 2007 to 4.03% for the same period in 2008.

For the quarter ended September 30, 2008, segment profit increased by $8.3 million, or 232.15%, over the same period last year, primarily due to decreases in interest expense as a result of decreases in rates on borrowings, offset by an increase in average borrowings.

There are no provisions for credit losses or taxes in the segments as these are accounted for at the corporate level.

Pre-tax loss	$	(30,481	)	$	(22,174	)	$	(7,533	)	$	(7,321	)

The Company’s administration and other operating departments reported pre-tax loss of $30.5 million for the first nine months of 2008. This represents an increase of $8.3 million or 37.46%, from a pre-tax loss of $22.2 million for the same period in 2007. The increase in pre-tax loss is primarily attributed to the increase in provision for credit losses and increase in non-interest expense year over year. Non-interest expense for the first nine months of 2008 increased $6.3 million from the first nine months of 2007 primarily due to increases of $3.0 million in salaries and related costs, $1.2 million in our provision for unfunded commitments, $1.2 million in our FDIC insurance assessments, $0.5 million in professional fees and $0.4 million in intangible amortization as a result of the FCB acquisition.

For the quarter ended September 30, 2008, pre-tax loss increased $212,000, or 2.90% over the same period last year. The increase in pre-tax loss is primarily attributed to the decreases in interest income and interest expense offset by an increase in provision for credit losses and non-interest expense. Non-interest expense for the quarter ended September 30, 2008 increased $1.2 million from the same period of 2007 primarily due to increases of $1.5 million in salaries and related costs offset by decreases in professional fees and intangible amortization.

ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

The Company reported total assets of $6.42 billion at September 30, 2008. This represented an increase of $127.8 million, or 2.03%, over total assets of $6.29 billion at December 31, 2007. Earning assets totaled $6.04 billion at September 30, 2008. This represented an increase of $109.6 million, or 1.85%, over total earning assets of $5.93 billion at December 31, 2007. Total liabilities were $5.98 billion at September 30, 2008, up $118.0 million, or 2.01%, from total liabilities of $5.87 billion at December 31, 2007. Total equity increased $9.9 million, or 2.32%, to $434.8 million at September 30, 2008, compared with total equity of $424.9 million at December 31, 2007.

Investment Securities

The Company reported total investment securities of $2.40 billion at September 30, 2008. This represented an increase of $4.0 million, or 0.16%, from total investment securities of $2.39 billion at December 31, 2007. Investment securities comprise 39.62% of the Company’s total earning assets at September 30, 2008.

In accordance with SFAS No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities”, securities held as “available-for-sale” are reported at fair value for financial reporting purposes. The related unrealized gains or losses, net of income taxes, are recorded in stockholders’ equity. At September 30, 2008, securities held as available-for-sale had a fair value of $2.39 billion, representing 99.7% of total investment securities, with an amortized cost of $2.42 billion. At September 30, 2008, the net unrealized holding loss on securities available-for-sale was $28.0 million and that resulted in

accumulated other comprehensive income of $16.2 million (net of $11.8 million in deferred taxes). At December 31, 2007, the Company reported net unrealized gain on investment securities available-for-sale of $7.1 million and accumulated other comprehensive income of $4.1 million (net of deferred taxes of $3.0 million).

The weighted-average yield (TE) on the investment portfolio at September 30, 2008 was 4.68% with a weighted-average life of 5.1 years. This compares to a yield of 4.68% at December 31, 2007 with a weighted-average life of 4.7 years and a yield of 4.91% at September 30, 2007 with a weighted-average life of 4.7 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 paydowns.

Approximately 71% of the portfolio represents securities issued by the U.S government or U.S. government-sponsored enterprises, which guarantee payment of principal and interest.

The remaining CMO/REMICs are backed by agency-pooled collateral or whole loan collateral. All non-agency available-for-sale CMO/REMIC issues held are rated “AA” or better by either Standard & Poor’s or Moody’s, as of September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007.

The tables above show the Company’s 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 September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007. The Company has reviewed individual securities 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.

The following summarizes our analysis of these securities and the unrealized losses. 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 fair value; and iv) general market conditions which reflect prospects for the economy as a whole, including interest rates and sector credit spreads.

CMO Held-to-Maturity — We have one investment security classified as held-to-maturity. This security was issued by Countrywide Financial and is collateralized by Alt-A mortgages. The mortgages are primarily fixed-rate, 30-year loans, originated in early 2006 with average FICO scores of 715 and an average LTV of 71% at origination. The security was a senior security in the securitization, was rated triple AAA at origination and was supported by subordinate securities. This security is classified as held- to-maturity as we have both the intent and ability to hold this debt security to maturity as the amount of the security, $7.1 million, is not significant to our liquidity needs. We acquired this security in February

2008 at a price of 98.25%. The significant decline in the fair value of the security first appeared recently in August 2008 as the current financial crisis in the markets occurred and the market for securities collateralized by Alt-A mortgages diminished.

As of September 30, 2008, the unrealized loss on this security was $2.4 million and the fair value quoted on the security was 66% of the current par value. One rating agency has not downgraded the security from AAA, one rating agency has downgraded the security from AAA to AA during the third quarter of 2008 and another rating agency downgraded the security to BB in October, 2008. We evaluated the security for an other than temporary decline in fair value as of September 30, 2008 under the requirements of FAS 115. We believe the decline in fair value below cost on the security is not other than temporary based on a detailed model of the securitization performed by an outside third party which indicates we will receive all of our principal and interest on the security based on what we believe are the probable assumptions related to the housing market, the losses expected on the underlying mortgages, and the credit support available to the security, as well as, all other information available on the security and underlying collateral. Furthermore, the recent decline in value does not appear to be related to a decline in the outlook for the underlying housing market as the housing market has been under stress for most of this year but appears to be more related to the recent crisis in the financial markets and the extreme lack of liquidity in the overall market and in the mortgage debt market, in particular.

Government Agency & Government-Sponsored Enterprises — The government agency bonds are backed by the full faith and credit of Agencies of the U.S. Government. These securities are bullet securities, that is, they have a defined maturity date on which the principal is paid. The contractual term of these investments provides that the Bank will receive the face value of the bond at maturity which will equal the amortized cost of the bond. Interest is received throughout the life of the security. At September 30, 2008, there was no unrealized loss.

Mortgaged-Backed Securities and CMO/REMICs — Almost all of the mortgage-backed and CMO/REMICs securities are issued by the government-sponsored enterprises such as Ginnie Mae, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. These securities are collateralized or backed by the underlying mortgages. All mortgage-backed securities are rated AAA with average life of approximately 3.8 years. The contractual cash flows of 97.2% of these investments are guaranteed by U.S. government-sponsored agencies. The remaining 2.8% are issued by banks. Accordingly, it is expected the securities would not be settled at a price less than the amortized cost of the bond. The unrealized loss greater than 12 months on these securities at September 30, 2008 is $3.5 million. This loss is comprised of three main blocks of securities: FNMA’s with a loss of $1.4 million, Freddie Mac with a loss of $2.1 million and non-government sponsored enterprises such as financial institutions with a loss of $43,000. Because we believe the decline in fair value is attributable to the changes in interest rates and the U.S. Government has secured the debt of FNMA and Freddie Mac through a conservatorship, and the Company has the ability and intent to hold these securities until recovery of fair value, which may be at maturity, management does not consider these investments to be other than temporarily impaired at September 30, 2008.

Municipal Bonds — The municipal bonds in the Bank’s portfolio are all investment grade bonds, except for two bonds rated BB. Although these bonds are below investment grade, they are general obligation bonds and the underlying municipalities are not exhibiting financial problems. All of our municipal bonds are insured by the largest bond insurance companies with maturities of approximately 8.4 years. The unrealized loss greater than 12 months on these securities at September 30, 2008 is $4.5 million. As with the other securities in the portfolio, we believe this loss is due to the interest rate environment and not the credit risk of these securities. The Bank diversifies its holdings by owning selections of securities from different issuers and by holding securities from geographically diversified municipal issuers, thus reducing the Bank’s exposure to any single adverse event. Because the decline in fair value is attributable to the changes in interest rates and not credit quality, and the Bank has the ability and intent to hold these securities until recovery of fair value, which may be at maturity, the Bank does not consider these investments to be other than temporarily impaired at September 30, 2008.

We are continually monitoring the quality of our municipal bond portfolio in light of the current financial problems exhibited by certain monoline insurance companies. While most of our securities are insured by these companies, we feel that there is minimal risk of loss due to the problems these insurers are having. Many of the securities that would not be rated without insurance are pre-refunded and/or are general obligation bonds. Based on our monitoring of the municipal marketplace, to our knowledge, none of the municipalities are exhibiting financial problems that would lead us to believe there is a loss in any given security.

Although we determined that these securities are not are other-than-temporarily impaired, we will continue to monitor the portfolio in the light of economic, credit and market factors. In addition, we will look at the potential for improving the overall performance of the portfolio and the income of the Company. Accordingly, subsequent changes in some of these factors may indicate that we should sell some of these securities even though we have disclosed that we currently intend to hold these securities to maturity.

At September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, investment securities having an amortized cost of approximately $2.32 billion and $2.29 billion respectively, were pledged to secure public deposits, short and long-term borrowings, and for other purposes as required or permitted by law.

Loans

At September 30, 2008, we reported total loans, net of deferred loan fees, of $3.60 billion. This represents an increase of $100.2 million, or 2.87%, from total loans, net of deferred loan fees, of $3.50 billion at December 31, 2007. Total loans, net of deferred loan fees, comprise 59.49% of our total earning assets.

Commercial and industrial loans are loans and leases to commercial entities to finance capital purchases or improvements, or to provide cash flow for operations. Real estate loans are loans secured by trust deeds on real property, including property under construction, commercial property and single family 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 provide financing to municipalities, school districts, and other special districts. Auto and equipment leases provide financing to both commercial entities as well as consumers. Dairy and

livestock loans are loans to finance the operating needs of wholesale dairy farm operations, cattle feeders, livestock raisers, and farmers.

In the table above, Single Family-Direct represents those single-family residence loans that we have made directly to our customers. These loans total $59.7 million. In addition, we have purchased pools of owner-occupied single-family loans from real estate lenders, Single Family-Mortgage Pools, totaling $280.9 million. These loans were purchased with average FICO scores predominantly ranging from 700 to over 800 and overall loan-to-value ratios of 60% to 80%. These pools were purchased to diversify our loan portfolio since we make few single-family loans. Due to market conditions, we have not purchased any mortgage pools since August 2007.

As of September 30, 2008, the Company had $359.9 million in construction loans. This represents 10.0% of total loans outstanding of $3.6 billion. Of this $359.9 million in construction loans, approximately 32%, or $115.9 million, were for single-family residences, residential land loans, and multi-family land development loans. The remaining construction loans, totaling $243.9 million, were related to commercial construction, which have continued to perform well. Our construction loans are located throughout our marketplace as can be seen in the following table.

Non-performing Assets

We had non-performing assets of $18.6 million at September 30, 2008. Non-performing assets represent 0.52% of total loans and OREO and 0.29% of total assets at September 30, 2008. We had non-performing assets of $1.4 million at December 31, 2007. Non-performing assets include non-performing loans plus other real estate owned (foreclosed property). Non-performing loans include non-accrual loans and loans past due 90 or more days and still accruing interest.

We had loans with a balance of $19.1 million classified as impaired at September 30, 2008. This balance includes the non-performing loans of $16.6 million and one restructured loan with a balance of $2.5 million as of September 30, 2008. At December 31, 2007, we had one impaired loan with a balance of $1.1 million. Impaired loans measured 0.53% of gross loans as of September 30, 2008.

At September 30, 2008, we held $1.9 million as OREO, which represents three foreclosed properties. This balance consists primarily of $1.1 million representing a foreclosed condominium construction project. A majority of the loan was charged-off in the fourth quarter of 2007. The subject loan was

participated with another financial institution and the resulting OREO asset is owned jointly with that financial institution. The balance also includes $315,000 for one single family residence from our mortgage pools and $475,000 for one residential construction loan. The single family residence OREO was sold in October.

There was no OREO at December 31, 2007.

At December 31, 2007, we had $1.4 million in non-performing loans. As of March 31, 2008, we had $2.7 million in non-performing loans which increased to $12.3 million in non-performing loans at June 30, 2008 and further increased to $16.6 million at September 30, 2008 or 0.46% of total loans. At September 30, 2008, the non-performing loans consist of $8.0 million in residential construction and residential land loans, $2.1 million in single family mortgage loans, $6.2 million in commercial loans and $312,000 in consumer loans.

Of the $8.0 million in residential construction and residential land loans, six loans are for single family development projects in the Inland Empire to two borrower groups. The outstanding balances, on these loans, range from $202,000 to $1.9 million.

The $2.1 million single family mortgage loans consists of four single family residences from our pool of approximately 750 mortgage loans purchased over the past five years. We feel that we have sufficient equity, even after the market downturn, that our losses should not be significant.

Of the $6.2 million in commercial loans, $5.7 million consists of two loans to a single borrower and are secured by both commercial and residential real estate located in the Inland Empire.

The consumer loan consists of one equity line of credit.

The economic downturn has had an impact on our market area and on our loan portfolio. With the exception of assets discussed above, we are not aware of any other loans as of September 30, 2008 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 can anticipate that there will be some losses in the loan portfolio given the current state of the economy. However, we cannot 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 borrower’s ability to pay.

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.

At September 30, 2008, total deposits were $3.20 billion, representing a decrease of $168.8 million, or 5.02%, from total deposits of $3.36 billion at December 31, 2007. The decrease is primarily due to competition for low cost deposits in our local markets. The composition of deposits is as follows:


	September 30, 2008					December 31, 2007
			(Amounts in thousands)
Non-interest bearing deposits
Demand deposits	$	1,302,205		40.7	%	$	1,295,959	38.5	%
Interest bearing deposits
Savings Deposits		1,178,582		36.9	%		1,278,035	38.0	%
Time deposits		714,754		22.4	%		790,355	23.5	%

Total deposits	$	3,195,541		100.0	%	$	3,364,349	100.0	%

The amount of non-interest-bearing demand deposits in relation to total deposits is an integral element in achieving a low cost of funds. Demand deposits totaled $1.30 billion at September 30, 2008, representing an increase of $6.2 million, or 0.48%, over total demand deposits of $1.30 billion at December 31, 2007. Non-interest-bearing demand deposits represented 40.7% of total deposits as of September 30, 2008 and 38.5% of total deposits as of December 31, 2007.

Savings deposits, which include savings, interest-bearing demand, and money market accounts, totaled $1.18 billion at September 30, 2008, representing a decrease of $99.5 million, or 7.78%, from savings deposits of $1.28 billion at December 31, 2007.

Time deposits totaled $714.8 million at September 30, 2008. This represented a decrease of $75.6 million, or 9.57%, from total time deposits of $790.4 million at December 31, 2007.

Other Borrowed Funds

To achieve the desired growth in earning assets and to fully utilize our capital, we fund this growth through generating sources of funds other than deposits. 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. Average

borrowed funds, as a percent of average total funding (total deposits plus demand notes plus borrowed funds) was 43.37% as of September 30, 2008, as compared to 41.02% as of December 31, 2007.

During 2008 and 2007, we entered into short-term borrowing agreements (borrowings with maturities of one year or less) with the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) and other institutions. The Bank had outstanding balances of $1.05 billion under these agreements at September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007. The weighted average annual interest rate was 3.80% and 4.48% at September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. The FHLB holds certain investment securities and loans of the Bank as collateral for these borrowings.

In June 2006, the Company purchased securities totaling $250.0 million. This purchase was funded by a repurchase agreement of $250.0 million with a double cap embedded in the repurchase agreement. The interest rate on this agreement is fixed at 4.95% and the maturity is September 30, 2012. In November 2006, we began a repurchase agreement product with our customers. This product, known as Citizens Sweep Manager, sells our investment securities overnight to our customers under an agreement to repurchase them the next day. As of September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, total customer repurchases were $361.0 million and $336.3 million, respectively, with weighted average annual interest rates of 1.78% and 3.51%. As of September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, total funds borrowed under these agreements were $611.0 million and $586.3 million, respectively.

We also entered into long-term borrowing agreements (borrowings with maturities of one year or longer) with the FHLB. We had outstanding balances of $950.0 million and $700.0 million under these agreements at September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. The weighted average annual interest rate was 4.09% and 4.88% at September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. The FHLB holds certain investment securities and loans of the Bank as collateral for these borrowings.

The Bank acquired subordinated debt of $5.0 million from the acquisition of FCB in September 2007 which is included in long-term borrowings in Item 1 — Financial Statements. The debt has a variable interest rate which resets quarterly at three-month LIBOR plus 1.65%. The debt matures on January 7, 2016, but becomes callable on January 7, 2011.

The Bank has an agreement, known as the Treasury Tax & Loan (“TT&L”) Note Option Program with the Federal Reserve Bank and the U.S. Department of Treasury in which federal tax deposits made by depositors can be held by the bank until called (withdrawn) by the U.S. Department of 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 September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007 the amounts held by the Bank in the TT&L Note Option Program were $3.7 million and $540,000, collateralized by securities, respectively. Amounts are payable on demand. The Bank borrows at a variable rate of 36 and 86 basis points less than the average weekly federal funds rate, which was 2.40% and 5.03% at September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively.

At September 30, 2008, borrowed funds totaled $2.62 billion, representing an increase of $281.0 million, or 12.00%, over total borrowed funds of $2.34 billion at December 31, 2007.

Total	$	5,967,338		$	4,599,515	$	774,983	$	458,361	$	134,479

Deposits represent non-interest bearing, money market, savings, NOW, certificates of deposits, brokered and all other deposits.

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, repurchase agreements and TT&L.

Junior subordinated debentures represent the amounts that are due from the Company to CVB Statutory Trust I, CVB Statutory Trust II & CVB Statutory Trust III. The debentures have the same maturity as the Trust Preferred Securities. CVB Statutory Trust I and II, which mature in 2033, will become callable in whole or in part in 2008. CVB Statutory Trust III, which matures in 2036, will become callable in whole or in part in 2011. It also represents FCB Capital Trust II which matures in 2033 and becomes callable in 2008.

Deferred compensation primarily 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 September 30, 2008, we had commitments to extend credit of approximately $757.0 million and obligations under letters of credit of $61.7 million and available lines of credit totaling $811.7 million from certain 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. 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. The Company has a reserve for undisbursed commitments of $4.0 million as of September 30, 2008 and $2.9 million as of December 31, 2007.

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.

The following table summarizes the off-balance sheet arrangements at September 30, 2008:


			Maturity by Period

Liquidity and Cash Flow

Since the primary sources and uses of funds for the Bank are deposits and loans, the relationship between gross loans and total deposits provides a useful measure of the Bank’s 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 Bank’s assets. For the first nine months of 2008, the Bank’s loan to deposit ratio averaged 106.38%, compared to an average ratio of 92.53% for the same period in 2007. The slowdown in deposit growth and increase in loan balances has caused this ratio to increase.

CVB is a company separate and apart from the Bank that must provide for its own liquidity. Substantially all of CVB’s revenues are obtained from dividends declared and paid by the Bank. The remaining cash flow is from rents paid by third parties on office space in the Company’s corporate headquarters. There are statutory and regulatory provisions that could limit the ability of the Bank to pay dividends to CVB. At September 30, 2008, approximately $116.8 million of the Bank’s 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.

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 $66.3 million for the nine months of 2008, compared to $58.9 million for the same period last year.

Net cash used in investing activities totaled $154.4 million for the first nine months of 2008, compared to net cash provided by investing activities of $161.1 million for the same period in 2007. The increase in cash used in 2008 was primarily the result of the increase in purchases of mortgage-backed securities.

Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $91.0 million for the first nine months of 2008, compared to net cash used in financing activities of $240.5 million for the same period last year.

At September 30, 2008, cash and cash equivalents totaled $92.4 million. This represented a decrease of $33.6 million, or 26.64%, from a total of $126.0 million at September 30, 2007 and an increase of $2.9 million, or 3.28%, from a total of $89.5 million at December 31, 2007.

Capital Resources

Historically, our primary source of capital 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. We will continue to assess our need for capital and sources for that capital, including participation in the U.S. Department of Treasury’s Capital Purchase Program.

The Bank and the Company are required to meet risk-based capital standards set by their respective regulatory authorities. The risk-based capital standards require the achievement of a minimum ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets of 8.0% (of which at least 4.0% must be Tier 1 capital). In addition, the regulatory authorities require the highest rated institutions to maintain a minimum leverage ratio of 4.0%. At September 30, 2008, the Bank and the Company exceeded the minimum risk-based capital ratios and leverage ratios required to be considered “Well Capitalized”.

The Company’s equity capital was $434.8 million at September 30, 2008. This represented an increase of $9.9 million or 2.32% from equity capital of $424.9 million at December 31, 2007. The increase was due primarily to the net earnings for the first nine months of 2008 in the amount of $50.8 million offset by the unrealized loss on securities available-for-sale, net of tax, of $20.4 million and payment of dividends in the amount of $21.2 million. The Company’s 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K (Management’s Discussion and Analysis and Note 16 of the accompanying financial statements) describes the regulatory capital requirements of the Company and the Bank.

Table 6 below presents the Company’s and the Bank’s risk-based and leverage capital ratios as of September 30, 2008, and December 31, 2007.

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 us 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 obligor’s 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 the Bank’s 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.

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 systematic 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 systematic 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 loan’s effective interest rate, the fair value of the loan’s 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 of our credit risk management is its loan risk rating system. The originating credit officer assigns borrowers an initial risk rating, which is reviewed and possibly changed by Credit Management, which is based primarily on a thorough analysis of each borrower’s 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 management personnel. Credits are monitored by line and credit management personnel for deterioration in a borrower’s financial condition, which would impact the ability of the borrower to perform under the contract. Risk ratings are adjusted as necessary.

Loans are risk rated into the following categories: Loss, 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. 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.

The Bank obtains a quarterly independent credit review by engaging an outside party to review our loans. The purpose of this review is to determine the loan rating and if there is any deterioration in the credit quality of the portfolio.

Based on the risk rating system, specific allowances are established in cases where we have 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 loans, 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 considerations of all known relevant internal and external factors that may affect a loan’s collectability. 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 loan’s collectability, we perform an 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 the Company’s external credit examiners.

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 of the 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 recorded an $8.7 million provision for credit losses during the first nine months of 2008. There was no provision for credit losses during the first nine months of 2007.

While we believe that the allowance at September 30, 2008, was adequate to absorb losses from any known or inherent risks in the portfolio, no assurance can be given that economic conditions or natural disasters which adversely affect the Company’s service areas or other circumstances or conditions, including those identified above, will not be reflected in increased provisions or credit losses in the future.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market Risk

In the normal course of our 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 include securities, loans, deposits, debts and derivative financial instruments.

Counterparty Risk

Recent developments in the financial markets have placed an increased awareness of Counterparty Risks. These risks occur when a financial institution has an indebtedness or potential for indebtedness to another financial institution. We have assessed our Counterparty Risk at the end of the third quarter with the following results:

	•		We have $250 million in a repurchase agreement with an embedded double cap. This transaction was conducted in September 2006 to protect against rising interest rates. The repurchase agreement is with JP Morgan. The Moody’s public debt rating for this institution is Aaa.

	•		We do not have any investments in the preferred stock of any other company.

	•		We do not have in our investment portfolio any trust preferred securities of any other company.

	•		All of our investments securities are either municipal securities or securities backed by mortgages, FNMA, FHLMC or FHLB.

	•		All of our commercial line insurance policies are with companies with the highest AM Best ratings of AXV or above.

	•		We have no significant Counterparty exposure related to derivatives such as interest rate swaps.

	•		We have no significant exposure to our Cash Surrender Value of Life insurance since all of the insurance companies carry an AM Best rating of A or greater.

	•		We have $182.1 million in Fed Funds lines of credit with other banks. All of these banks are major U.S. banks. We rely on these funds for overnight borrowings.

Interest Rate Risk

During periods of changing interest rates, the ability to reprice 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 the Bank’s service area. Short-term repricing 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 balanced to attempt to minimize the risks of rising or falling yields. 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/repricing gap analysis. This analysis measures, at specific time intervals, the differences between earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities for which repricing opportunities will occur. A positive difference, or gap, indicates that earning assets will reprice 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.

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 magnitude of changes in the rates paid for 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 repricing opportunities of earning assets or interest-bearing liabilities. In general, whether we report a positive gap in the short-term period or negative gap in the long-term period 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 $1.7 billion, or 71.16%, of the total investment portfolio at September 30, 2008 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 from lesser amounts available for reinvestment at a time when available yields are higher. Prepayment risk includes the risk associated with the payment of an investment’s principal faster than originally intended. Extension risk is the risk associated with the payment of an investment’s 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 the interest income from all interest-earning assets and the interest expense paid on all interest-bearing liabilities reflected on the Company’s 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 both a 200 basis point upward and downward shift in interest rates. A parallel and pro rata shift in rates over a 12-month period is assumed.

The following depicts the Company’s net interest income sensitivity analysis as of September 30, 2008:

The Company is currently more liability sensitive. The estimated sensitivity does not necessarily represent our 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.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk to earnings or capital resulting from our inability to meet its 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 Federal Reserve Bank. 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.

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 we offer.

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. We utilize a third party audit firm to provide internal audit services.

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 Bank’s customers may be ambiguous or untested. Compliance risk exposes us 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 firm’s 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.

The Compliance Officer conducts periodic monitoring of our compliance efforts with a special focus on those areas that expose us to compliance risk. The purpose of the periodic monitoring is to ensure that our 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.

The Bank recognizes that customer complaints can often identify weaknesses in our compliance program which could expose the Bank to risk. Therefore, all complaints are given prompt attention. Our 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 organization’s 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 our ability to establish new relationships or services, or continue servicing existing relationships. It can expose us 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.

Our current exposure to price risk is nominal. We do 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.

We maintain deposit accounts with various foreign banks. Our Interbank Liability Policy limits the balance in any of these accounts to an amount that does not present a significant risk to our earnings from changes in the value of foreign currencies.

Our asset liability model calculates the market value of the Bank’s equity. In addition, management prepares on a monthly basis a Capital Volatility report that compares changes in the market value of the investment portfolio.

The Balance Sheet Management Policy requires the submission of a Fair Value Matrix Report to the Balance Sheet Management Committee on a quarterly basis. The report calculates the economic value of equity under different interest rate scenarios, revealing the level or price risk of the Bank’s interest sensitive asset and liability portfolios.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures under the supervision and with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer and other senior management of the Company. Based on the foregoing, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

During our most recent fiscal quarter, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

U.S. and international financial markets and economic conditions could adversely affect our liquidity, results of operations and financial condition - As described in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Recent Developments,” global capital markets and economic conditions continue to be adversely affected and the resulting disruption has been particularly acute in the financial sector. The Company remains well capitalized and has not suffered any significant liquidity issues as a result of these recent events; however, the cost and availability of funds may be adversely affected by illiquid credit markets and the demand for our products and services may decline as our borrowers and customers realize the impact of an economic slowdown and recession. In addition, the severity and duration of these adverse conditions is unknown and may exacerbate our exposure to credit risk and adversely affect the ability of borrowers to perform under the terms of their lending arrangements with us. Accordingly, continued turbulence in the U.S. and international markets and economy may adversely affect our liquidity, financial condition, results of operations and profitability.

There were no other changes from the risk factors set forth in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” of the Company’s FORM 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, during the nine months ended September 30, 2008. Please refer to that section of the Company’s 10-K for disclosure regarding the risks and uncertainties related to the Company’s business.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

On July 16, 2008, our Board of Directors approved a new program to repurchase up to 5,390,482 shares of its common stock. This program was combined with the 4,609,518 shares remaining from our previous stock repurchase program, approved in August 2007. Accordingly, commencing as of July 16, 2008, we have the authority to repurchase up to 10,000,000 shares (such number will not be adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, and the like) in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, at times and at prices considered appropriate by us, depending upon prevailing market conditions and other corporate and legal considerations. There is no expiration date for our current stock repurchase program.
