SECTION 2 – FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Item 2.02 – Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On January 25, 2007 Mid-State Bancshares reported diluted earnings of $0.38 per share for the fourth quarter of 2006 on net income of $8.7 million.  Results in the quarter continued to be impacted by increased non-interest expense compared to the prior year reflecting, primarily, increases in staffing for growth and compliance, benefit cost increases, adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payments,” and charges incurred related to the pending merger previously announced with Rabobank, N.A.  The adoption of the new accounting statement alone reduced earnings by approximately $429,000 after tax, or $0.02 per share.  Net income for the fourth quarter of 2005 was $9.4 million, or $0.41 per share.

For the full year 2006, net income was $35.3 million, or $1.55 per diluted share, compared to $37.5 million and $1.61 per share for 2005.  Adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) reduced 2006 earnings by approximately $1.7 million for the full year, or $0.07 per share.

Please refer to the Press Release dated January 25, 2007, attached hereto and made a part hereof.
