Item 1. Business

General

First PacTrust Bancorp, Inc. (“the Company”) was incorporated under Maryland law in March 2002 to hold all of the stock of Pacific Trust Bank (“the Bank”). Maryland was chosen as the state of incorporation because it provides protections similar to Delaware with respect to takeover, indemnification and limitations on liability, with reduced franchise taxes. First PacTrust Bancorp, Inc. is a savings and loan holding company and is subject to regulation by the Office of Thrift Supervision. First PacTrust Bancorp, Inc. is a unitary thrift holding company, which means that it owns one thrift institution. As a thrift holding company, First PacTrust Bancorp, Inc., activities are limited to banking, securities, insurance and financial services-related activities. See “How We Are Regulated—First PacTrust Bancorp, Inc”. First PacTrust Bancorp, Inc. is not an operating company and has no significant assets other than all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Pacific Trust Bank, the net proceeds retained from its initial public offering completed in August 2002, and its loan to the First PacTrust Bancorp, Inc. 401(k) Employee Stock Ownership Plan. First PacTrust Bancorp, Inc. has no significant liabilities. The management of the Company and the Bank is substantially the same. The Company utilizes the support staff and offices of the Bank and pays the Bank for these services. If the Company expands or changes its business in the future, the Company may hire the Company’s own employees. Unless the context otherwise requires, all references to the Company include the Bank and the Company on a consolidated basis.

The Company is a community-oriented financial institution offering a variety of financial services to meet the needs of the communities we serve. The Company is headquartered in Chula Vista, California, a suburb of San Diego, California and has nine banking offices primarily serving San Diego and Riverside Counties in California. Our geographic market for loans and deposits is principally San Diego and Riverside counties.

The principal business consists of attracting retail deposits from the general public and investing these funds primarily in permanent loans secured by first mortgages on owner-occupied, one-to four- family residences and a variety of consumer loans. The Company also originates loans secured by multi-family and commercial real estate and, to a limited extent, commercial business loans secured primarily by residential real estate.

The Company offers a variety of deposit accounts having a wide range of interest rates and terms, which generally include savings accounts, money market deposits, certificate accounts and checking accounts.

Lending Activities

General. The Company’s mortgage loans carry either a fixed or an adjustable rate of interest. Mortgage loans generally are long-term and amortize on a monthly basis with principal and interest due each month. The Company also has loans in the portfolio which require only interest payments on a monthly basis or may have the potential for negative amortization. At December 31, 2005, the Company had a total of $308.3 million in interest only mortgage loans and $100.4 million in negative amortizing mortgage loans. At December 31, 2005, the Company’s net loan portfolio totaled $688.5 million, which constituted 91.1% of our total assets.

Senior loan officers may approve loans to one borrower or group of related borrowers up to $1.0 million. The Executive Vice President of Lending may approve loans to one borrower or group of related borrowers up to $1.5 million. The President/CEO may approve loans to one borrower or group of related borrowers up to $2.0 million. The Management Loan Committee may approve loans to one borrower or group of related borrowers up to $8.0 million with no single loan exceeding $3.5 million. The Board Loan Committee must approve loans over these amounts or outside our general loan policy.

At December 31, 2005, the maximum amount, which the Company could have loaned to any one borrower and the borrower’s related entities, was approximately $11.4 million. The largest lending relationship to a single borrower or a group of related borrowers consisted of a $10.0 million participation loan of which $3.6 million has yet to be disbursed. The security for this loan is located in Mammoth Lakes, California and the loan was current as of December 31, 2005.

The total amount of loans due after December 31, 2006 which have predetermined interest rates is $39.6 million, while the total amount of loans due after such date which have floating or adjustable interest rates is $621.2 million.

One- to Four-Family Residential Real Estate Lending. The Company focuses lending efforts primarily on the origination of loans secured by first mortgages on owner-occupied, one- to four-family residences in San Diego and Riverside counties, California. At December 31, 2005, one- to four-family residential mortgage loans totaled $559.2 million, or 80.9% of our gross loan portfolio.

The Company generally underwrites one- to four-family loans based on the applicant’s income and credit history and the appraised value of the subject property. Presently, the Company lends up to 90% of the lesser of the appraised value or purchase price for one- to four-family residential loans. For loans with a loan-to-value ratio in excess of 80%, the Company generally requires private mortgage insurance in order to reduce our exposure below 80% or alternatively, a higher interest rate is charged. Properties securing our one- to four-family loans are appraised by independent fee appraisers approved by the Management Loan Committee. Generally, the Company requires borrowers to obtain title insurance, hazard insurance, and flood insurance, if necessary.

The Company currently originates one- to four-family mortgage loans on either a fixed- or adjustable-rate basis, as consumer demand dictates. The Company’s pricing strategy for mortgage loans includes setting interest rates that are competitive with other local financial institutions.

Adjustable-rate mortgage, or “ARM” loans, are offered with flexible initial and periodic repricing dates, ranging from one month to seven years through the life of the loan. The Company uses a variety of indices to reprice ARM loans. During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Company originated $170.3 million of one- to four-family ARM loans and $15.5 million of one- to four-family fixed-rate mortgage loans with terms up to 15 years.

One- to four-family loans may be assumable, subject to the Company’s approval, and may contain prepayment penalties. Most ARM loans are written using generally accepted underwriting guidelines. Due mainly, however, to the generally large loan size, these loans may not be readily saleable to Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae, but are saleable to other private investors. The Company’s real estate loans generally contain a “due on sale” clause allowing us to declare the unpaid principal balance due and payable upon the sale of the security property.

The Company also offers ARM loans which may provide for negative amortization of the principal balance. These loans have monthly interest rate adjustments after the specified introductory rate term, and annual maximum payment adjustments of 7¹/2% during the first five years of the loan. The principal balance on these loans may increase up to 110% of the original loan amount as a result of the payments not being sufficient to cover the interest due during the first five years of the loan term. These loans adjust to fully amortize after five years through contractual maturity, with up to a 30-year term. At December 31, 2005, the Company had a total of $100.4 million of negatively amortizing loans.

In order to remain competitive in our market areas, the Company generally originates ARM loans at initial rates below the fully indexed rate. The Company’s ARM loans generally provide for specified minimum and maximum interest rates, with a lifetime cap and floor, and a periodic adjustment on the interest rate over the rate in effect on the date of origination. As a consequence of using caps, the interest rates on these loans may not be as rate sensitive as is the Company’s cost of funds.

ARM loans generally pose different credit risks than fixed-rate loans, primarily because as interest rates rise, the borrower’s payment rises, increasing the potential for default. The Company has not experienced significant delinquencies in these loans. However, the majority of these loans have been originated within the past three years. See “—Asset Quality—Non-performing Assets” and “—Classified Assets.” At December 31,

2005, the Company’s one- to four-family ARM loan portfolio totaled $546.1 million, or 79.0% of our gross loan portfolio. At that date, the fixed-rate one-to four-family mortgage loan portfolio totaled $13.1 million, or 1.9% of the Company’s gross loan portfolio.

In addition, the Bank currently offers interest only loans and expects originations of these loans to substantially increase. At December 31, 2005, the Company had a total of $308.3 million of interest only loans.

Fixed-rate loans secured by one- to four-family residences have contractual maturities of up to 30 years, and are generally fully amortizing, with payments due monthly.

Commercial and Multi-Family Real Estate Lending. The Company offers a variety of multi-family and commercial real estate loans. These loans are secured primarily by multi-family dwellings, and a limited amount of small retail establishments, hotels, motels, warehouses, and small office buildings located in the Company’s market area. At December 31, 2005, multi-family and commercial real estate loans totaled $96.7 million or 14.0% of the Company’s gross loan portfolio.

The Company’s loans secured by multi-family and commercial real estate are originated with either a fixed or adjustable interest rate. The interest rate on adjustable-rate loans is based on a variety of indices, generally determined through negotiation with the borrower. Loan-to-value ratios on multi-family real estate loans typically do not exceed 75% of the appraised value of the property securing the loan. These loans typically require monthly payments, may contain balloon payments and have maximum maturities of 30 years. Loan-to-value ratios on commercial real estate loans typically do not exceed 70% of the appraised value of the property securing the loan and have maximum maturities of 25 years.

Loans secured by multi-family and commercial real estate are underwritten based on the income producing potential of the property and the financial strength of the borrower. The net operating income, which is the income derived from the operation of the property less all operating expenses, must be sufficient to cover the payments related to the outstanding debt. The Company generally requires an assignment of rents or leases in order to be assured that the cash flow from the project will be used to repay the debt. Appraisals on properties securing multi-family and commercial real estate loans are performed by independent state licensed fee appraisers approved by the Management Loan Committee. See “- Loan Originations, Purchases, Sales and Repayments.”

The Company generally maintains a tax or insurance escrow account for loans secured by multi-family and commercial real estate. In order to monitor the adequacy of cash flows on income-producing properties, the borrower may be requested or required to provide periodic financial information.

Loans secured by multi-family and commercial real estate properties generally involve a greater degree of credit risk than one- to four-family residential mortgage loans. These loans typically involve large balances to single borrowers or groups of related borrowers. The largest multi-family or commercial real estate loan at December 31, 2005 was secured by property located in San Diego County with a principal balance of $4.4 million. At December 31, 2005, this loan was fully performing in accordance with the terms of the note.

Because payments on loans secured by multi-family and commercial real estate properties are often dependent on the successful operation or management of the properties, repayment of these loans may be subject to adverse conditions in the real estate market or the economy. If the cash flow from the project is reduced, or if leases are not obtained or renewed, the borrower’s ability to repay the loan may be impaired. See “—Asset Quality—Non-performing Loans.”

Construction Lending. The Company has not historically originated a significant amount of construction loans. From time to time the Company does, however, purchase participations in real estate construction loans. In addition, the Company may in the future originate or purchase loans or participations in construction. At December 31, 2005, the Company had $6.4 million in construction loans outstanding, representing less than 1%

of our gross loan portfolio. The Company had a commitment to fund an additional $13.6 million of construction loans at December 31, 2005.

Consumer and Other Lending. Consumer loans generally have shorter terms to maturity or variable interest rates, which reduces our exposure to changes in interest rates, and carry higher rates of interest than do one- to four-family residential mortgage loans. In addition, management believes that offering consumer loan products helps to expand and create stronger ties to the Company’s existing customer base by increasing the number of customer relationships and providing cross-marketing opportunities. At December 31, 2005, the Company’s consumer and other loan portfolio totaled $29.2 million, or 4.2% of our gross loan portfolio. The Company offers a variety of secured consumer loans, including home equity lines of credit, new and used auto loans, boat and recreational vehicle loans, and loans secured by savings deposits. The Company also offers a limited amount of unsecured loans. The Company originates consumer and other loans primarily in its market area.

The Company’s home equity lines of credit totaled $25.6 million, and comprised 3.7% of our gross loan portfolio at December 31, 2005. These loans may be originated in amounts, together with the amount of the existing first mortgage, of up to 90% of the value of the property securing the loan. Home equity lines of credit have a seven or ten year draw period and require the payment of 1.0% or 1.5% of the outstanding loan balance per month (depending on the terms) during the draw period, which amount may be re-borrowed at any time during the draw period. Home equity lines of credit with a 10 year draw period have a balloon payment due at the end of the draw period. Once the draw period has lapsed, generally the payment is fixed based on the loan balance at that time. At December 31, 2005, unfunded commitments on these lines of credit totaled $32.6 million. Other consumer loan terms vary according to the type of collateral, length of contract and creditworthiness of the borrower.

Auto loans totaled $820,000 at December 31, 2005, or .1% of the Company’s gross loan portfolio. Auto loans may be written for up to six years and usually have fixed rates of interest. Loan-to-value ratios are up to 100% of the sales price for new autos and 100% of retail value on used autos, based on valuation from official used car guides.

Loans for recreational vehicles, including boats and planes, totaled $77,000 at December 31, 2005, or approximately .01% of our gross loan portfolio. The Company will finance up to 100% of the purchase price for a new recreational vehicle and 100% of the value for a used recreational vehicle, based on the applicable official used recreational vehicle guides. The term to maturity for these types of loans is up to 10 years for recreational vehicles. These loans are generally written with fixed rates of interest.

Consumer and other loans may entail greater risk than do one- to four-family residential mortgage loans, particularly in the case of consumer loans which are secured by rapidly depreciable assets, such as automobiles and recreational vehicles. In these cases, any repossessed collateral for a defaulted loan may not provide an adequate source of repayment of the outstanding loan balance. As a result, consumer loan collections are dependent on the borrower’s continuing financial stability and, thus, are more likely to be adversely affected by job loss, divorce, illness, or personal bankruptcy.

At December 31, 2005, commercial business loans totaled $622,000 or .1% of the gross loan portfolio. The Company’s commercial business lending policy includes credit file documentation and analysis of the borrower’s background, capacity to repay the loan, the adequacy of the borrower’s capital and collateral as well as an evaluation of other conditions affecting the borrower. Analysis of the borrower’s past, present and future cash flows is also an important aspect of our credit analysis. The Company may obtain personal guarantees on our commercial business loans. Nonetheless, these loans are believed to carry higher credit risk than more traditional single-family loans.

Unlike residential mortgage loans, commercial business loans are typically made on the basis of the borrower’s ability to make repayment from the cash flow of the borrower’s business. As a result, the availability

of funds for the repayment of commercial business loans may be substantially dependent on the success of the business itself (which, in turn, is often dependent in part upon general economic conditions). The Company’s commercial business loans are usually, but not always, secured by business assets. However, the collateral securing the loans may depreciate over time, may be difficult to appraise and may fluctuate in value based on the success of the business.

Loan Originations, Purchases, Sales, Repayments, and Servicing

The Company originates real estate secured loans primarily through mortgage brokers and banking relationships. By originating most loans through brokers, the Company is better able to control overhead costs and efficiently utilize management resources. The Company is a portfolio lender of products not readily saleable to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, although they are saleable to private investors.

The Company also originates consumer and real estate loans on a direct basis through our marketing efforts, and our existing and walk-in customers. While the Company originates both adjustable-rate and fixed-rate loans, the ability to originate loans is dependent upon customer demand for loans in our market areas. Demand is affected by competition and the interest rate environment. During the last few years, the Company has significantly increased our origination of ARM loans. The Company has also purchased ARM loans secured by one-to- four family residences and participations in commercial real estate loans. Loans and participations purchased must conform to the Company’s underwriting guidelines or guidelines acceptable to the management loan committee. Furthermore, during the past few years, the Company, like many other financial institutions, has experienced significant prepayments on loans due to the low interest rate environment prevailing in the United States. In periods of economic uncertainty, the ability of financial institutions to originate or purchase large dollar volumes of real estate loans may be substantially reduced or restricted, with a resultant decrease in interest income. During 2005, the Company introduced a new lending product called the “Green” account, America’s first fully transactional flexible mortgage account. Originations of this product totaled $9.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. Increased growth in this new product is expected to increase in 2006.

The following table shows loan origination, purchase, sale, and repayment activities for the periods indicated.

Asset Quality

Real estate loans are serviced in house in accordance with secondary market guidelines. When a borrower fails to make a payment on a mortgage loan on or before the default date, a late charge notice is mailed 16 days after the due date. All delinquent accounts are reviewed by a collector, who attempts to cure the delinquency by contacting the borrower prior to the loan becoming 30 days past due. If the loan becomes 60 days delinquent, the collector will generally contact by phone or send a personal letter to the borrower in order to identify the reason for the delinquency. Once the loan becomes 90 days delinquent, contact with the borrower is made requesting payment of the delinquent amount in full, or the establishment of an acceptable repayment plan to bring the loan current. When a loan is between 100 and 120 days delinquent, a drive-by inspection is made. If the account becomes 120 days delinquent, and an acceptable repayment plan has not been agreed upon, a collection officer will generally initiate foreclosure or refer the account to the Company’s counsel to initiate foreclosure proceedings.

For consumer loans a similar process is followed, with the initial written contact being made once the loan is 10 days past due with a follow-up notice at 16 days past due. Follow-up contacts are generally on an accelerated basis compared to the mortgage loan procedure.

Non-performing Assets. The table below sets forth the amounts and categories of non-performing assets in our loan portfolio. Loans are placed on non-accrual status when the loan becomes more than 90 days delinquent. At all dates presented, the Company had no troubled debt restructurings which involve forgiving a portion of interest or principal on any loans or making loans at a rate materially less than that of market rates. Foreclosed assets owned include assets acquired in settlement of loans.

Other Loans of Concern. At December 31, 2005, loans of concern totaled $2.5 million, which primarily consisted of one residential loan totaling $2.0 million that was brought current as of January 31, 2006.

Classified Assets. Federal regulations provide for the classification of loans and other assets, such as debt and equity securities considered by the Office of Thrift Supervision to be of lesser quality, as “substandard,” “doubtful” or “loss.” An asset is considered “substandard” if it is inadequately protected by the current net worth

and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. “Substandard” assets include those characterized by the “distinct possibility” that the insured institution will sustain “some loss” if the deficiencies are not corrected. Assets classified as “doubtful” have all of the weaknesses inherent in those classified “substandard,” with the added characteristic that the weaknesses present make “collection or liquidation in full,” on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, “highly questionable and improbable.” Assets classified as “loss” are those considered “uncollectible” and of such little value that their continuance as assets without the establishment of a specific loss reserve is not warranted.

When an insured institution classifies problem assets as either substandard or doubtful, it may establish general allowances for loan losses in an amount deemed prudent by management and approved by the board of directors. General allowances represent loss allowances which have been established to recognize the inherent risk associated with lending activities, but which, unlike specific allowances, have not been allocated to particular problem assets. When an insured institution classifies problem assets as “loss,” it is required either to establish a specific allowance for losses equal to 100% of that portion of the asset so classified or to charge off such amount. An institution’s determination as to the classification of its assets and the amount of its valuation allowances is subject to review by the Office of Thrift Supervision and the FDIC, which may order the establishment of additional general or specific loss allowances.

In connection with the filing of our periodic reports with the Office of Thrift Supervision and in accordance with our classification of assets policy, we regularly review the problem assets in our portfolio to determine whether any assets require classification in accordance with applicable regulations. On the basis of management’s review of assets, at December 31, 2005, the Company had classified $2.5 million of our assets as substandard, $0 as doubtful and $0 as loss. The total amount classified represented 3.2% of our equity capital and .3% of our assets at December 31, 2005.

Provision for Loan Losses. The Company recorded a provision for loan losses for the year ended December 31, 2005 of $250,000, compared to $238,000 for the year ended December 31, 2004. The provision for loan losses is charged to income to adjust our allowance for loan losses to reflect probable losses presently inherent in our loan portfolio based on the factors discussed below under “Allowance for Loan Losses.” The provision for loan losses for the year ended December 31, 2005 was based on management’s review of such factors which indicated that the allowance for loan losses reflected probable losses presently inherent in the loan portfolio as of the year ended December 31, 2005.

Allowance for Loan Losses. The Company maintains an allowance for loan losses to absorb probable incurred losses in the loan portfolio. The allowance is based on ongoing, quarterly assessments of the estimated probable losses presently inherent in the loan portfolio. In evaluating the level of the allowance for loan losses, management considers the types of loans and the amount of loans in the loan portfolio, peer group information, historical loss experience, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral, and prevailing economic conditions. Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans, such as residential real estate, small commercial real estate, home equity and consumer loans, are evaluated in the aggregate using historical loss factors and peer group data adjusted for current economic conditions. Geographic peer group data is obtained by general loan type and adjusted to reflect known differences between peers and the Company, including loan seasoning, underwriting experience, local economic conditions and customer characteristics. More complex loans, such as multi-family commercial real estate loans, are evaluated individually for impairment, primarily through the evaluation of collateral values and cash flows.

At December 31, 2005, our allowance for loan losses was $4.7 million or .68% of the total loan portfolio. Assessing the allowance for loan losses is inherently subjective as it requires making material estimates, including the amount and timing of future cash flows expected to be received on impaired loans that may be susceptible to significant change. In the opinion of management, the allowance, when taken as a whole, reflects estimated probable presently inherent loan losses in our loan portfolios.

The following table sets forth an analysis of our allowance for loan losses.

Investment Activities

Federally chartered savings institutions have the authority to invest in various types of liquid assets, including United States Treasury obligations, securities of various federal agencies, including callable agency securities, certain certificates of deposit of insured banks and savings institutions, certain bankers’ acceptances, repurchase agreements, and federal funds. Subject to various restrictions, federally chartered savings institutions may also invest their assets in investment grade commercial paper and corporate debt securities and mutual funds whose assets conform to the investments that a federally chartered savings institution is otherwise authorized to make directly. See “How We Are Regulated—Pacific Trust Bank” and “—Qualified Thrift Lender Test” for a discussion of additional restrictions on our investment activities.

The general objectives of our investment portfolio are to provide liquidity when loan demand is high, to assist in maintaining earnings when loan demand is low and to maximize earnings while satisfactorily managing risk, including credit risk, reinvestment risk, liquidity risk and interest rate risk. See Item 7A “—Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.”

The Company’s investment securities currently consist primarily of agency debt issues and agency callable issues, as well as structured mortgage-related securities issued by Fannie Mae, Ginnie Mae and Freddie Mac (also referred to as REMICs or CMOs). CMOs are securities derived by reallocating the cash flows from mortgage-backed securities or pools of mortgage loans in order to create multiple classes, or tranches, of securities with coupon rates and average lives that differ from the underlying collateral as a whole. The term to maturity of any particular tranche is dependent upon the prepayment speed of the underlying collateral as well as the structure of the particular CMO. As a result of these factors, the estimated average lives of the CMOs may be shorter than the contractual maturities as shown on the table below. Although CMO tranches have been structured (through the use of cash flow priority and “support” tranches) to give somewhat more predictable cash flows, the actual future cash flow and hence the value of CMOs are subject to change.

The Company frequently may invest in CMOs as an alternative to mortgage loans and conventional mortgage-backed securities as part of our asset/liability management strategy. Management believes that CMOs represent attractive investment alternatives relative to other investments due to the wide variety of maturity and repayment options available through such investments. In particular, the Company has from time to time concluded that short and intermediate duration CMOs (with an expected average life of five years or less) represent a better combination of rate and duration than adjustable rate mortgage-backed securities. All of the Company’s negotiable securities, including CMOs, are held as “available for sale.

The following table sets forth the composition of our securities portfolio and other investments at the dates indicated. Our securities portfolio at December 31, 2005, did not contain securities of any issuer with an aggregate book value in excess of 10% of our equity capital, excluding those issued by the United States Government or its agencies.

Sources of Funds

General. The Company’s sources of funds are deposits, borrowings, payment of principal and interest on loans, interest earned on or maturation of other investment securities and funds provided from operations.

Deposits. The Company offers a variety of deposit accounts to both consumers and businesses having a wide range of interest rates and terms. The Company’s deposits consist of savings accounts, money market deposit accounts, NOW and demand accounts and certificates of deposit. The Company solicits deposits primarily in our market area and from financial institutions. The Company has also accepted brokered deposits and held $23.4 million of brokered certificates of deposit at December 31, 2005. The Company primarily relies on competitive pricing policies, marketing and customer service to attract and retain these deposits.

The flow of deposits is influenced significantly by general economic conditions, changes in money market and prevailing interest rates and competition. The variety of deposit accounts the Company offers has allowed the Company to be competitive in obtaining funds and to respond with flexibility to changes in consumer demand. The Company has become more susceptible to short-term fluctuations in deposit flows, as customers have become more interest rate conscious. The Company tries to manage the pricing of our deposits in keeping with our asset/liability management, liquidity and profitability objectives, subject to competitive factors. Based on our experience, the Company believes that our deposits are relatively stable sources of funds. Despite this stability, the Company’s ability to attract and maintain these deposits and the rates paid on them has been and will continue to be significantly affected by market conditions.

The following table sets forth our deposit flows during the periods indicated.

Borrowings. Although deposits are our primary source of funds, the Company may utilize borrowings when they are a less costly source of funds and can be invested at a positive interest rate spread, when the Company desires additional capacity to fund loan demand or when they meet our asset/liability management goals. The Company’s borrowings historically have consisted of advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco.

The Company may obtain advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco upon the security of certain of the Company’s mortgage loans and mortgage-backed and other securities. These advances may be made pursuant to several different credit programs, each of which has its own interest rate, range of maturities and call features. At December 31, 2005, the Company had $164.2 million in Federal Home Loan Bank advances outstanding and the ability to borrow an additional $173.0 million. See also Note 7 (Item 8) containing the Company’s consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding FHLB advances.

The following table sets forth certain information as to our borrowings at the dates and for the years indicated.

Subsidiary and Other Activities

As a federally chartered savings bank, Pacific Trust Bank is permitted by the Office of Thrift Supervision to invest 2% of our assets or $15.1 million at December 31, 2005, in the stock of, or unsecured loans to, service corporation subsidiaries. The Company may invest an additional 1% of our assets in secure corporations where such additional funds are used for inner city or community development purposes. Pacific Trust Bank currently does not have any subsidiary service corporations.

Competition

The Company faces strong competition in originating real estate and other loans and in attracting deposits. Competition in originating real estate loans comes primarily from other savings institutions, commercial banks, credit unions and mortgage bankers. Other savings institutions, commercial banks, credit unions and finance companies provide vigorous competition in consumer lending.

The Company attracts deposits through the branch office system and through the internet. Competition for those deposits is principally from other savings institutions, commercial banks and credit unions located in the same community, as well as mutual funds and other alternative investments. The Company competes for these deposits by offering superior service and a variety of deposit accounts at competitive rates. Based on the most recent branch deposit data as of June 30, 2005 provided by the FDIC, Pacific Trust Bank’s share of deposits was 0.84% and 0.46% in San Diego and Riverside Counties, respectively.

Employees

At December 31, 2005, we had a total of 101 full-time employees and 13 part-time employees. Our employees are not represented by any collective bargaining group. Management considers its employee relations to be satisfactory.

HOW WE ARE REGULATED

Set forth below is a brief description of certain laws and regulations which are applicable to First PacTrust Bancorp, Inc. and Pacific Trust Bank. The description of these laws and regulations, as well as descriptions of laws and regulations contained elsewhere herein, does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the applicable laws and regulations.

Legislation is introduced from time to time in the United States Congress that may affect the operations of the Company and the Bank. In addition, the regulations governing the Company and the Bank may be amended from time to time by the Office of Thrift Supervision. Any such legislation or regulatory changes in the future could adversely affect the Company or the Bank. No assurance can be given as to whether or in what form any such changes may occur.

General

Pacific Trust Bank, as a federally chartered savings institution, is subject to federal regulation and oversight by the Office of Thrift Supervision extending to all aspects of its operations. The Bank is also subject to regulation and examination by the FDIC, which insures the deposits of the Bank to the maximum extent permitted by law, and requirements established by the Federal Reserve Board. Federally chartered savings institutions are required to file periodic reports with the Office of Thrift Supervision and are subject to periodic examinations by the Office of Thrift Supervision and the FDIC. The investment and lending authority of savings institutions are prescribed by federal laws and regulations, and such institutions are prohibited from engaging in any activities not permitted by such laws and regulations. Such regulation and supervision primarily is intended for the protection of depositors and not for the purpose of protecting shareholders.

The Office of Thrift Supervision regularly examines the Bank and prepares reports for the consideration of the Bank’s board of directors on any deficiencies that it may find in the Bank’s operations. The FDIC also has the authority to examine the Bank in its role as the administrator of the Savings Association Insurance Fund. Our relationship with its depositors and borrowers also is regulated to a great extent by both Federal and state laws, especially in such matters as the ownership of savings accounts and the form and content of our mortgage requirements. Any change in such regulations, whether by the FDIC, the Office of Thrift Supervision or Congress, could have a material adverse impact on the Company and the Bank and their operations.

First PacTrust Bancorp, Inc.

Pursuant to regulations of the Office of Thrift Supervision and the terms of the Company’s Maryland charter, the purpose and powers of the Company are to pursue any or all of the lawful objectives of a thrift holding company and to exercise any of the powers accorded to a thrift holding company.

First PacTrust Bancorp, Inc. is a unitary savings and loan holding company subject to regulatory oversight by the Office of Thrift Supervision. First PacTrust is required to register and file reports with the Office of Thrift Supervision and is subject to regulation and examination by the Office of Thrift Supervision. In addition, the Office of Thrift Supervision has enforcement authority over us and our non-savings institution subsidiaries.

First PacTrust generally is not subject to activity restrictions. If First PacTrust acquired control of another savings institution as a separate subsidiary, it would become a multiple savings and loan holding company, and its activities and any of its subsidiaries (other than Pacific Trust Bank or any other savings institution) would generally become subject to additional restrictions.

If the Company fails the qualified thrift lender test, the Company must obtain the approval of the Office of Thrift Supervision prior to continuing after such failure, directly or through other subsidiaries, any business activity other than those approved for multiple thrift companies or their subsidiaries. In addition, within one year of such failure the Company must register as, and will become subject to, the restrictions applicable to bank holding companies.

Pacific Trust Bank

The Office of Thrift Supervision has extensive authority over the operations of savings institutions. As part of this authority, we are required to file periodic reports with the Office of Thrift Supervision and we are subject to periodic examinations by the Office of Thrift Supervision and the FDIC. When these examinations are conducted by the Office of Thrift Supervision and the FDIC, the examiners may require the Bank to provide for higher general or specific loan loss reserves. All savings institutions are subject to a semi-annual assessment, based upon the savings institution’s total assets, to fund the operations of the Office of Thrift Supervision.

The Office of Thrift Supervision also has extensive enforcement authority over all savings institutions and their holding companies, including the Bank and the Company. This enforcement authority includes, among other things, the ability to assess civil money penalties, to issue cease-and-desist or removal orders and to initiate injunctive actions. In general, these enforcement actions may be initiated for violations of laws and regulations and unsafe or unsound practices. Other actions or inactions may provide the basis for enforcement action, including misleading or untimely reports filed with the Office of Thrift Supervision. Except under certain circumstances, public disclosure of final enforcement actions by the Office of Thrift Supervision is required.

In addition, the investment, lending and branching authority of the Bank is prescribed by federal laws and it is prohibited from engaging in any activities not permitted by such laws. For instance, no savings institution may invest in non-investment grade corporate debt securities. In addition, the permissible level of investment by federal institutions in loans secured by non-residential real property may not exceed 400% of total capital, except with approval of the Office of Thrift Supervision. Federal savings institutions are also generally authorized to branch nationwide. The Bank is in compliance with the noted restrictions.

The Bank’s general permissible lending limit for loans-to-one-borrower is equal to the greater of $500,000 or 15% of unimpaired capital and surplus including allowance for loan losses (except for loans fully secured by certain readily marketable collateral, in which case this limit is increased to 25% of unimpaired capital and surplus). At December 31, 2005, the Bank’s lending limit under this restriction was $11.4 million. The Bank is in compliance with the loans-to-one-borrower limitation.

The Office of Thrift Supervision, as well as the other federal banking agencies, has adopted guidelines establishing safety and soundness standards on such matters as loan underwriting and documentation, asset quality, earnings standards, internal controls and audit systems, interest rate risk exposure and compensation and other employee benefits. Any institution which fails to comply with these standards must submit a compliance plan.

Insurance of Accounts and Regulation by the FDIC

The Bank is a member of the Savings Association Insurance Fund, which is administered by the FDIC. Deposits are insured up to the applicable limits by the FDIC and such insurance is backed by the full faith and credit of the United States Government. As insurer, the FDIC imposes deposit insurance premiums and is authorized to conduct examinations of and to require reporting by FDIC-insured institutions. It also may prohibit any FDIC-insured institution from engaging in any activity the FDIC determines by regulation or order to pose a serious risk to the Savings Association Insurance Fund or the Bank Insurance Fund. The FDIC also has the authority to initiate enforcement actions against savings institutions, after giving the Office of Thrift Supervision an opportunity to take such action, and may terminate the deposit insurance if it determines that the institution has engaged in unsafe or unsound practices or is in an unsafe or unsound condition.

Regulatory Capital Requirements

Federally insured savings institutions, such as the Bank, are required to maintain a minimum level of regulatory capital. The Office of Thrift Supervision has established capital standards, including a tangible capital requirement, a leverage ratio or core capital requirement and a risk-based capital requirement applicable to such savings institutions. These capital requirements must be generally as stringent as the comparable capital requirements for national banks. The Office of Thrift Supervision is also authorized to impose capital requirements in excess of these standards on a case-by-case basis.

The capital regulations require tangible capital of at least 1.5% of adjusted total assets, as defined by regulation. Tangible capital generally includes common stockholders’ equity and retained earnings, and certain noncumulative perpetual preferred stock and related earnings. In addition, generally all intangible assets, other than a limited amount of purchased mortgage servicing rights, and certain other items, must be deducted from tangible capital for calculating compliance with the requirement. At December 31, 2005, the Bank had no intangible assets.

At December 31, 2005, the Bank had tangible capital of $71.6 million, or 9.5% of adjusted total assets, which was approximately $60.3 million above the minimum requirement of $11.3 million or 1.5% of adjusted total assets in effect on that date.

The capital standards also require core capital equal to at least 3.0% of adjusted total assets. Core capital generally consists of tangible capital plus certain intangible assets, including a limited amount of purchased credit card relationships. As a result of the prompt corrective action provisions discussed below, however, a savings institution must maintain a core capital ratio of at least 4.0% to be considered adequately capitalized unless its supervisory condition is such as to allow it to maintain a 3.0% ratio. At December 31, 2005, the Bank had no intangibles which were subject to these tests.

At December 31, 2005, the Bank had core capital equal to $71.6 million, or 9.5% of adjusted total assets, which was $41.4 million above the minimum requirement of 4.0% in effect on that date.

The Office of Thrift Supervision also requires savings institutions to have total capital of at least 8.0% of risk-weighted assets. Total capital consists of core capital, as defined above, and supplementary capital. Supplementary capital consists of certain permanent and maturing capital instruments that do not qualify as core capital and general valuation loan and lease loss allowances up to a maximum of 1.25% of risk-weighted assets.

Supplementary capital may be used to satisfy the risk-based requirement only to the extent of core capital. The Office of Thrift Supervision is also authorized to require a savings institution to maintain an additional amount of total capital to account for concentration of credit risk and the risk of non-traditional activities. At December 31, 2005, the Bank had $4.7 million of general loan loss reserves, which was less than 1.25% of risk-weighted assets.

In determining the amount of risk-weighted assets, all assets, including certain off-balance sheet items, will be multiplied by a risk weight, ranging from 0% to 100%, based on the risk inherent in the type of asset. For example, the Office of Thrift Supervision has assigned a risk weight of 50% for prudently underwritten permanent one- to four-family first lien mortgage loans not more than 90 days delinquent and having a loan-to-value ratio of not more than 80% at origination unless insured to such ratio by an insurer approved by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac.

On December 31, 2005, the Bank had total risk-based capital of $76.3 million and risk-weighted assets of $490.2 million; or total capital of 15.57% of risk-weighted assets. This amount was $37.1 million above the 8.0% requirement in effect on that date.

The Office of Thrift Supervision and the FDIC are authorized and, under certain circumstances, required to take certain actions against savings institutions that fail to meet their capital requirements. The Office of Thrift Supervision is generally required to take action to restrict the activities of an “undercapitalized institution,” which is an institution with less than either a 4% core capital ratio, a 4% Tier 1 risked-based capital ratio or an 8.0% risk-based capital ratio. Any such institution must submit a capital restoration plan and until such plan is approved by the Office of Thrift Supervision may not increase its assets, acquire another institution, establish a branch or engage in any new activities, and generally may not make capital distributions. The Office of Thrift Supervision is authorized to impose the additional restrictions that are applicable to significantly undercapitalized institutions.

As a condition to the approval of the capital restoration plan, any company controlling an undercapitalized institution must agree that it will enter into a limited capital maintenance guarantee with respect to the institution’s achievement of its capital requirements.

Any savings institution that fails to comply with its capital plan or has Tier 1 risk-based or core capital ratios of less than 3.0% or a risk-based capital ratio of less than 6.0% and is considered “significantly undercapitalized” must be made subject to one or more additional specified actions and operating restrictions which may cover all aspects of its operations and may include a forced merger or acquisition of the institution. An institution that becomes “critically undercapitalized” because it has a tangible capital ratio of 2.0% or less is subject to further mandatory restrictions on its activities in addition to those applicable to significantly undercapitalized institutions. In addition, the Office of Thrift Supervision must appoint a receiver, or conservator with the concurrence of the FDIC, for a savings institution, with certain limited exceptions, within 90 days after it becomes critically undercapitalized. The OTS may take other action as it determines, with the concurrence of the FDIC, would better achieve its objective, after documenting why. If the OTS determines to take action other than appointing a conservator or receiver, a redetermination must be made not later than the end of the 90-day period beginning on the date the original determination is made. If a redetermination is not made, then a conservator or receiver will, notwithstanding the above and with certain exceptions, be appointed. In general, the OTS will appoint a receiver if the institution is critically undercapitalized on average during the calendar quarter beginning 270 days after the date on which the institution became critically undercapitalized.

The Office of Thrift Supervision is also generally authorized to reclassify an institution into a lower capital category and impose the restrictions applicable to such category if the institution is engaged in unsafe or unsound practices or is in an unsafe or unsound condition.

The imposition by the Office of Thrift Supervision or the FDIC of any of these measures on the Bank may have a substantial adverse effect on its operations and profitability. At December 31, 2005, the Bank was considered a “well-capitalized” institution.

Limitations on Dividends and Other Capital Distributions

Office of Thrift Supervision regulations impose various restrictions on savings institutions with respect to their ability to make distributions of capital, which include dividends, stock redemptions or repurchases, cash-out mergers and other transactions charged to the capital account.

Generally, savings institutions, such as Pacific Trust Bank, that before and after the proposed distribution remain well-capitalized, may make capital distributions during any calendar year equal to up to 100% of net income for the year-to-date plus retained net income for the two preceding years. However, an institution deemed to be in need of more than normal supervision by the Office of Thrift Supervision may have its dividend authority restricted by the Office of Thrift Supervision. The Bank may pay dividends in accordance with this general authority.

Savings institutions proposing to make any capital distribution need not submit written notice to the Office of Thrift Supervision prior to such distribution unless they are a subsidiary of a holding company or would not remain well-capitalized following the distribution. Pacific Trust Bank is a subsidiary of a holding company. Savings institutions that do not, or would not meet their current minimum capital requirements following a proposed capital distribution or propose to exceed these net income limitations must obtain Office of Thrift Supervision approval prior to making such distribution. The Office of Thrift Supervision may object to the distribution during that 30-day period based on safety and soundness concerns. See “- Regulatory Capital Requirements.”

Liquidity

All savings institutions, including Pacific Trust Bank, are required to maintain sufficient liquidity to ensure a safe and sound operation.

Qualified Thrift Lender Test

All savings institutions, including Pacific Trust Bank, are required to meet a qualified thrift lender test to avoid certain restrictions on their operations. This test requires a savings institution to have at least 65% of its portfolio assets, as defined by regulation, in qualified thrift investments on a monthly average for nine out of every 12 months on a rolling basis. As an alternative, the savings institution may maintain 60% of its assets in those assets specified in Section 7701(a)(19) of the Internal Revenue Code. Under either test, such assets primarily consist of residential housing related loans and investments. At December 31, 2005, the Bank met the test and has always met the test since the requirement was applicable.

Any savings institution that fails to meet the qualified thrift lender test must convert to a national bank charter, unless it requalifies as a qualified thrift lender and thereafter remains a qualified thrift lender. If an institution does not requalify and converts to a national bank charter, it must remain Savings Association Insurance Fund-insured until the FDIC permits it to transfer to the Bank Insurance Fund. If such an institution has not yet requalified or converted to a national bank, its new investments and activities are limited to those permissible for both a savings institution and a national bank, and it is limited to national bank branching rights in its home state. In addition, the institution is immediately ineligible to receive any new Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings and is subject to national bank limits for payment of dividends. If such an institution has not requalified or converted to a national bank within three years after the failure, it must divest of all investments and cease all activities not permissible for a national bank. In addition, it must repay promptly any outstanding Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings, which may result in prepayment penalties. If any institution that fails the qualified thrift lender test is controlled by a holding company, then within one year after the failure, the holding company must register as a bank holding company and become subject to all restrictions on bank holding companies.

Federal Securities Law

The stock of First PacTrust Bancorp, Inc. is registered with the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Company will be subject to the information, proxy solicitation, insider trading restrictions and other requirements of the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Company stock held by persons who are affiliates of the Company may not be resold without registration unless sold in accordance with certain resale restrictions. Affiliates are generally considered to be officers, directors and principal stockholders. If the Company meets specified current public information requirements, each affiliate of the Company will be able to sell in the public market, without registration, a limited number of shares in any three-month period.

Federal Reserve System

The Federal Reserve Board requires all depository institutions to maintain non-interest bearing reserves at specified levels against their transaction accounts, primarily checking, NOW and Super NOW checking accounts. At December 31, 2005, Pacific Trust Bank was in compliance with these reserve requirements. The balances maintained to meet the reserve requirements imposed by the Federal Reserve Board may be used to satisfy liquidity requirements that may be imposed by the Office of Thrift Supervision. See “- Liquidity.”

Savings institutions are authorized to borrow from the Federal Reserve Bank “discount window,” but Federal Reserve Board regulations require institutions to exhaust other reasonable alternative sources of funds, including Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings, before borrowing from the Federal Reserve Bank.

Federal Home Loan Bank System

Pacific Trust Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco, which is one of 12 regional Federal Home Loan Banks, that administers the home financing credit function of savings institutions. Each Federal Home Loan Bank serves as a reserve or central bank for its members within its assigned region. It is funded primarily from proceeds derived from the sale of consolidated obligations of the Federal Home Loan Bank System. It makes loans or advances to members in accordance with policies and procedures, established by the board of directors of the Federal Home Loan Bank, which are subject to the oversight of the Federal Housing Finance Board. All advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank are required to be fully secured by sufficient collateral as determined by the Federal Home Loan Bank. In addition, all long-term advances are required to provide funds for residential home financing.

As a member, the Bank is required to purchase and maintain stock in the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco. At December 31, 2005, the Bank had $8.5 million in Federal Home Loan Bank stock, which was in compliance with this requirement. In past years, the Bank has received substantial dividends on its Federal Home Loan Bank stock. Over the past three fiscal years such dividends have averaged 4.32% and were 4.35% for 2005.

Under federal law the Federal Home Loan Banks are required to provide funds for the resolution of troubled savings institutions and to contribute to low- and moderately priced housing programs through direct loans or interest subsidies on advances targeted for community investment and low- and moderate-income housing projects. These contributions have affected adversely the level of Federal Home Loan Bank dividends paid and could continue to do so in the future. These contributions could also have an adverse effect on the value of Federal Home Loan Bank stock in the future. A reduction in value of the Bank’s Federal Home Loan Bank stock may result in a corresponding reduction in the Bank’s capital.

For the year ended December 31, 2005, dividends paid by the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco to the Bank totaled $339,000, as compared to $324,000 for all of 2004.

TAXATION

Federal Taxation

General. First PacTrust Bancorp, Inc. and Pacific Trust Bank is subject to federal income taxation in the same general manner as other corporations, with some exceptions discussed below. The following discussion of federal taxation is intended only to summarize certain pertinent federal income tax matters and is not a comprehensive description of the tax rules applicable to the Company or the Bank. The Bank’s federal income tax returns have never been audited. Prior to January 1, 2000, the Bank was a credit union, not generally subject to corporate income tax.

Method of Accounting. For federal income tax purposes, Pacific Trust Bancorp currently reports its income and expenses on the accrual method of accounting and uses a fiscal year ending on December 31, for filing its federal income tax return.

Minimum Tax. The Internal Revenue Code imposes an alternative minimum tax at a rate of 20% on a base of regular taxable income plus certain tax preferences, called alternative minimum taxable income. The alternative minimum tax is payable to the extent such alternative minimum taxable income is in excess of an exemption amount. Net operating losses can offset no more than 90% of alternative minimum taxable income. Certain payments of alternative minimum tax may be used as credits against regular tax liabilities in future years. Pacific Trust Bank has not been subject to the alternative minimum tax, nor does the Company have any such amounts available as credits for carryover.

Net Operating Loss Carryovers. A financial institution may carryback net operating losses to the preceding two taxable years and forward to the succeeding 20 taxable years. This provision applies to losses incurred in taxable years beginning after August 6, 1997. At December 31, 2005, Pacific Trust Bank had no net operating loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes.

Corporate Dividends-Received Deduction. First PacTrust Bancorp, Inc. may eliminate from its income dividends received from the Bank as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company if it elects to file a consolidated return with the Bank. The corporate dividends-received deduction is 100% or 80%, in the case of dividends received from corporations with which a corporate recipient does not file a consolidated tax return, depending on the level of stock ownership of the payor of the dividend. Corporations which own less than 20% of the stock of a corporation distributing a dividend may deduct 70% of dividends received or accrued on their behalf.

State Taxation

Pacific Trust Bancorp, Inc. and Pacific Trust Bank are subject to the California corporate franchise (income) tax which is assessed at the rate of 10.84%. For this purpose, California taxable income generally means federal taxable income subject to certain modifications provided for in the California law.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

The following are certain risk factors that could impact our business, financial results and results of operations. Investing in our common stock involves risks, including those described below. These risk factors should be considered by prospective and current investors in our common stock when evaluating the disclosures in this Annual Report on Form 10-K (particularly the forward-looking statements.) These risk factors could cause actual results and conditions to differ materially from those projected in forward-looking statements. If the risks we face, including those listed below, actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be negatively impacted, and the trading price of our common stock could decline, which may cause you to lose all or part of your investment.

Rising interest rates may hurt our profits.

Interest rates are at historically low levels. If interest rates rise, our net interest income and the value of our assets could be reduced if interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits and borrowings, increases more quickly than interest received on interest-earning assets, such as loans, mortgage-related and investment securities. For example, if we experienced an immediate 100 basis point rise in interest rates as of September 30, 2005, the market value of our portfolio equity could decrease by $7.3 million. See Item 7A—“Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.” In addition, rising interest rates may hurt our income because they may reduce the demand for loans and the value of our securities.

Our loan portfolio possesses increased risk due to our substantial number of multi-family, commercial real estate and consumer loans.

Our multi-family, commercial real estate and consumer loans accounted for approximately 5% of our total loan portfolio as of December 31, 2005. Generally, we consider these types of loans to involve a higher degree of risk compared to first mortgage loans on one- to four-family, owner-occupied residential properties. In addition, we plan to increase our emphasis on multi-family and commercial real estate lending. Because of our planned increased emphasis on and increased investment in multi-family and commercial real estate lending, it may become necessary to increase the level of our provision for loan losses, which could hurt our profits.

Our loan portfolio possesses increased risk due to its rapid expansion, unseasoned nature and amount of nonconforming loans.

Since January 1, 2000, when we converted from a credit union, our loan portfolio has grown by $542.4 million or 371.3%. As a result of this rapid expansion, a significant portion of our portfolio is unseasoned, with the risk that these loans may not have had sufficient time to perform to properly indicate the potential magnitude of losses. During this time frame we have also experienced a declining rate environment. Our unseasoned adjustable rate loans have not, therefore, been subject to an interest rate environment which causes them to adjust

to the maximum level and may involve risks resulting from potentially increasing payment obligations by the borrower as a result of repricing. Most of our adjustable rate mortgage loans are also non-conforming, due mainly to the generally large loan size and are, therefore, not readily saleable to Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae. They are, however, saleable to other private investors. Since some of these loans have terms which may result in negative amortization, where the loan payments do not fully cover interest expense and result in an increasing loan principal balance, the portfolio is also subject to increased risk of delinquency or default as the higher, fully indexed rate of interest subsequently comes into effect upon repricing.

Strong Competition Within Our Market Area May Limit Our Growth and Profitability.

Competition in the banking and financial services industry is intense. In our market area, we compete with commercial banks, savings institutions, mortgage brokerage firms, credit unions, finance companies, mutual funds, insurance companies, and brokerage and investment banking firms operating locally and elsewhere. Many of these competitors have substantially greater resources and lending limits than we do and may offer certain services that we do not or cannot provide. Our profitability depends upon our continued ability to successfully compete in our market.

The amount of common stock we control, our charter and bylaws, and state and federal statutory provisions could discourage hostile acquisitions of control.

Our board of directors and executive officers own approximately 12.5% of our common stock (as of December 31, 2005). In addition, the 401(k) Employee Stock Ownership Plan, as well as the restricted stock plan and potential acquisition of common stock through the stock option plan, has resulted in inside ownership of First PacTrust Bancorp, Inc. in excess of 24.4% of the total shares outstanding (including unallocated ESOP shares and options exercisable within 60 days of December 31, 2005). This inside ownership and provisions in our charter and bylaws may have the effect of discouraging attempts to acquire First PacTrust Bancorp, Inc., pursue a proxy contest for control of First PacTrust Bancorp, Inc., assume control of First PacTrust Bancorp, Inc. by a holder of a large block of common stock and remove First PacTrust Bancorp, Inc.’s management, all of which certain stockholders might think are in their best interests. These provisions include, among other things:

•

the staggered terms of the members of the board of directors;

•

an 80% shareholder vote requirement for the approval of any merger or consolidation of First PacTrust Bancorp, Inc. into any entity that directly or indirectly owns 5% or more of First PacTrust Bancorp, Inc. voting stock if the transaction is not approved in advance by at least a majority of the disinterested members of First PacTrust Bancorp, Inc.’s board of directors;

•

supermajority shareholder vote requirements for the approval of certain amendments to First PacTrust Bancorp, Inc.’s charter and bylaws;

•

a prohibition on any holder of common stock voting more than 10% of the outstanding common stock;

•

elimination of cumulative voting by shareholders in the election of directors;

•

restrictions on the acquisition of our equity securities; and

•

the authorization of 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock that could be issued without shareholder approval on terms or in circumstances that could deter a future takeover attempt.

In addition, the Maryland business corporation law, the state where First PacTrust Bancorp, Inc. is incorporated, provides for certain restrictions on acquisition of First PacTrust Bancorp, Inc., and federal law contains restrictions on acquisitions of control of savings and loan holding companies such as First PacTrust Bancorp, Inc.

If economic conditions deteriorate, our results of operations and financial condition could be adversely impacted as borrowers’ ability to repay loans declines and the value of the collateral securing our loans decreases.

Our financial results may be adversely affected by changes in prevailing economic conditions, including decreases in real estate values, changes in interest rates which may cause a decrease in interest rate spreads, adverse employment conditions, the monetary and fiscal policies of the federal government and other significant external events. Because we have a significant amount of real estate loans, decreases in real estate values could adversely affect the value of property used as collateral. Adverse changes in the economy may also have a negative effect on the ability of our borrowers to make timely repayments of their loans, which would have an adverse impact on our earnings. In this regard, approximately 95% of our loans are to individuals and businesses in southern California. The rate of unemployment increased in San Diego County from 4.1% at December, 2004 to 4.3% at November, 2005 and from 5.0 % to 5.1% in Riverside County over the corresponding time frame.

DIVIDEND POLICY

Dividends from First Pactrust Bancorp, Inc., will depend, in large part, upon receipt of dividends from Pacific Trust Bank, because First PacTrust Bancorp, Inc. will have limited sources of income other than dividends from Pacific Trust Bank, earnings from the investment of proceeds from the sale of shares of common stock retained by First PacTrust Bancorp, Inc., and interest payments with respect to First PacTrust Bancorp, Inc.’s loan to the 401(k) Employee Stock Ownership Plan. During 2005, a $5.0 million dividend was made from the Bank to the First PacTrust Bancorp, Inc. A regulation of the Office of Thrift Supervision imposes limitations on “capital distributions” by savings institutions. See “How We Are Regulated—Limitations on Dividends and Other Capital Distributions.”

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Executive Management Overview

This overview of management’s discussion and analysis highlights selected information in the financial results of the Company and may not contain all of the information that is important to you. For a more complete understanding of trends, commitments, uncertainties, liquidity, capital resources and critical accounting policies and estimates, you should carefully read this entire document. Each of these items could have an impact on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.

First PacTrust Bancorp, Inc. is a savings and loan holding company that owns one thrift institution, Pacific Trust Bank. As a unitary thrift holding company, First PacTrust Bancorp, Inc. activities are limited to banking, securities, insurance and financial services-related activities. Pacific Trust Bank is a federally chartered stock savings bank, in continuous operation since 1941 as a profitable and successful financial institution. The Company is headquartered in Chula Vista, California, a suburb of San Diego, California, and has nine banking offices primarily serving residents of San Diego and Riverside Counties in California. The Company’s geographic market for loans and deposits is principally San Diego and Riverside counties.

The Bank’s principal business consists of attracting retail deposits from the general public and investing these funds and other borrowings in permanent loans primarily secured by first mortgages on owner-occupied, one-to four- family residences in San Diego and Riverside counties, California. At December 31, 2005, one- to four-family residential mortgage loans totaled $559.2 million, or 80.9% of our gross loan portfolio. During 2005, the Company introduced a new lending product called the “Green” account, America’s first fully transactional flexible mortgage account.

The Bank continues to develop strong deposit relationships with customers by providing quality service while offering a variety of competitive deposit products. During the year ended December 31, 2005, deposits increased $54.6 million primarily in the Company’s indexed money market accounts due to timely automatic reset of the interest rates.

The Company’s results of operations are dependent primarily on net interest income, which is the difference between interest income on earning assets such as loans, leases and securities, and interest expense paid on liabilities such as deposits and borrowings.

The Company’s interest income, which is primarily driven by interest income on residential first mortgage loans, increased by $3.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. Strong loan production contributed to a net growth in loans receivable of $59.8 million during the year. Relatively low mid- to long-term interest rate levels experienced throughout the year negatively impacted interest income by continuing to fuel significant prepayments and refinancing of higher yielding loans. Large volumes of prepayments on higher-yielding loans continued to occur as borrowers refinanced their mortgage loans, resulting in reinvestment of funds into lower yielding assets. However, a rising trend in short-term rates, which began in May 2004 and continued throughout the remainder of 2005, coupled with deposit growth, resulted in increased interest expense and a decrease to the Company’s net interest margin.

During the past year, the Company purchased two callable US agency debt securities in the first quarter of 2005. The Company also completed a $15.0 million bank-owned life insurance (BOLI) investment during the first quarter of 2005. The Company continues to evaluate potential enhancements to its investment portfolio, including other tax-advantaged investment opportunities. During 2004, the Company made a $4.5 million equity investment in an affordable housing fund for purposes of obtaining tax credits and for Community Reinvestment Act purposes.

The Company has continued to focus on improving shareholder value through a series of stock repurchases and increased dividends paid during the year. These stock repurchases resulted in increased earnings per share

and a greater percentage of overall ownership of the Company by the remaining shareholders. The Company currently has an active stock repurchase plan and, at December 31, 2005, had the authority to purchase an additional 87,162 shares of common stock.

Future earnings of the Company are inherently tied to changes in interest rate levels, the relationship between short and long term interest rates, credit quality, and economic trends. If short term interest rates continue to increase, the Company’s interest expense on deposits will likely increase at a faster pace than the interest income received on earning assets due to the relatively shorter term repricing characteristics of the Company’s deposits than the maturity or repricing characteristics of its loan portfolio. The Company intends to mitigate the potential effects of rising interest rates by continuing to focus on the origination of adjustable rate loan products while securing longer term deposits and borrowings.

The plan for our on-going success is continued leveraging of the Company’s assets, mostly through continued loan portfolio growth to make better use of our current relatively high capital ratios. This growth is intended to be funded with deposit growth and borrowed funds with terms that are appropriate to manage interest rate risk while assuring an adequate net interest spread. The Company will continue its strategy of loan and deposit portfolio growth through high-quality customer service and the development and introduction of innovative financial products. This will be coupled with efforts to further improve our efficiency ratio through controlled operating expense growth, as well as exploring potential new sources of noninterest income.

The following is a discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial position and results of operations and should be read in conjunction with the information set forth under “General” in Item 7A, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk, and the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing under Item 8 of this report.

Comparison of Financial Condition at December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004

The Company’s total assets increased by $80.7 million, or 12.0%, to $755.2 million at December 31, 2005 from $674.5 million at December 31, 2004. The increase primarily reflected the growth in the balance of loans receivable in the amount of $59.8 million and the purchase of a $15.0 million bank-owned life insurance (“BOLI”) investment during the first quarter of 2005.

Net loans increased by $59.8 million, or 9.5%, to $688.5 million at December 31, 2005 from $628.7 million at December 31, 2004. The increase in loans resulted primarily from $25.5 million one- to- four residential loan purchases made during the second and fourth quarters of 2005 as well as loan originations exceeding repayments during the period.

Securities classified as available-for-sale increased by $4.0 million, or 39.9%, to $14.0 million at December 31, 2005 from $10.0 million at December 31, 2004. This increase was primarily due to the purchase of agency fixed rate securities in the amount of $4.3 million during the first quarter of 2005.

Total deposits increased by $54.6 million, or 12.0%, to $508.2 million at December 31, 2005 from $453.6 million at December 31, 2004. The increase primarily reflected growth in money market accounts and certificates of deposits resulting from increased marketing efforts and competitive pricing during the year. Money market accounts increased $47.9 million, or 63.3%, to $123.6 million. Certificates of deposit increased $17.7 million, or 7.7%, to $246.8 million. The growth in certificates of deposits primarily reflected increased retail customer deposits as our institutional certificate of deposits decreased $11.9 million to $23.4 million at December 31, 2005 from $35.3 million at December 31, 2004 as marketing efforts have shifted to attract retail deposits. NOW accounts decreased $6.0 million to $64.0 million at December 31, 2005 from $70.0 million at December 31, 2004. Savings accounts decreased by $6.2 million to $57.1 million at December 31, 2005 from $63.3 million at December 31, 2004.

Federal Home Loan Bank advances increased $28.7 million, or 21.2%, to $164.2 million at December 31, 2005 from $135.5 million at December 31, 2004. The increase was primarily due to increased FHLB overnight borrowings used to fund the $25.5 million loan purchases made during the year and the $15.0 million BOLI investment made in the first quarter. The Company interchanges the use of deposits and borrowings to fund assets depending on various factors including liquidity and asset/liability management.

Equity decreased $1.6 million to $77.8 million at December 31, 2005 from $79.4 million at December 31, 2004. The net decrease resulted primarily from the purchase of 239,238 shares of treasury stock for $6.2 million and the payment of dividends of $2.2 million. Equity was increased primarily by net income of $4.8 million, ESOP shares earned of $1.1 million and stock awards earned of $728,000.

Average Balances, Net Interest Income, Yields Earned and Rates Paid

The following table presents for the periods indicated the total dollar amount of interest income from average interest-earning assets and the resultant yields, as well as the interest expense on average interest-bearing liabilities, expressed both in dollars and rates. Also presented is the weighted average yield on interest-earning assets, rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities and the resultant spread at December 31, 2005. No tax equivalent adjustments were made. All average balances are monthly average balances. Non-accruing loans have been included in the table as loans carrying a zero yield.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Years Ended December 31, 2005 and 2004

General. Net income for the year ended December 31, 2005 was $4.8 million, a decrease of $268,000, or 5.3%, from $5.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2004. The decrease in net income resulted primarily from an increase in short term interest rates and a continued flattening of the yield curve as discussed below.

Interest income. Interest income increased by $3.9 million or 12.4%, to $35.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2005 from $31.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2004. The primary factor for the increase in interest income was a $32.7 million or 5.3% increase in the average loans receivable balance, from $621.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2004 to $654.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. The growth consisted primarily of $25.5 million in loan purchases as well as loan originations exceeding repayments. For the year ended December 31, 2005, the average yield on loans receivable increased by 25 basis points to 5.27% for the year ended December 31, 2005 compared to 5.02% for the year ending December 31, 2004.

Interest income on securities increased by $469,000 to $623,000 for the year ended December 31, 2005 due to the overall increase in the balance of the portfolio resulting from agency security purchases made in the first quarter of 2005. The average yield on the securities portfolio increased by 109 basis points from 3.36% for the year ended December 31, 2004 to 4.45% for the year ended December 31, 2005.

Interest Expense. Interest expense increased $5.3 million or 46.2%, to $16.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. Interest expense on deposits increased $4.3 million or 54.6%, to $12.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2005 from $7.8 million for the same period in 2004. The increase in interest expense resulted from a 67 basis point increase in the Company’s cost of funds due to an increase in short term interest rates as well as a $44.4 million increase in the average balance of deposits from $418.8 million for the year ended

December 31, 2004 to $463.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. Interest expense on Federal Home Loan Bank advances increased approximately $991,000, or 27.7%, to $4.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2005 from $3.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2004 due to a $12.7 million increase in the average balance of Federal Home Loan Bank advances in order to fund loan demand as well as an increase in the rates paid on advances.

Net Interest Income. As a result of the factors mentioned above, net interest income before the provision for loan losses decreased $1.4 million or 6.7%, to $18.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2005 from $20.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2004. Due to the continued flattening of the yield curve, the Company’s margins have significantly tightened with the net interest spread decreasing 41 basis points to 2.49% and the net interest margin decreasing 40 basis points to 2.76% compared to the prior year. The ratio of interest earning assets to interest bearing liabilities has also decreased 3.7% due to the continued use of interest earning assets to repurchase stock into treasury and to purchase the BOLI and housing fund investments. Although these investments have increased noninterest income for the year ended December 31, 2005 and reduced the Company’s effective tax rate for the period, they have negatively impacted the Company’s net interest margin.

Provision for Loan Losses. Provisions of $250,000 and $238,000 were made for the year ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The provision increased by $12,000 due to increased loan growth during year end period compared to the prior year as well as changes in the economic factors affecting the loan loss calculation. For 2005 the Company has incurred net recoveries of approximately $11,000.

Provisions for loan losses were charged to operations at a level required to reflect probable incurred credit losses in the loan portfolio. In evaluating the level of the allowance for loan losses, management considers historical loss experience, the types of loans and the amount of loans in the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral, peer group information, and prevailing economic conditions. Large groups of smaller balance homogenous loans, such as residential real estate, small commercial real estate, and home equity and consumer loans, are evaluated in the aggregate using historical loss factors and peer group data adjusted for current economic conditions. Large balance and/or more complex loans, such as multi-family and commercial real estate loans, and classified loans, are evaluated individually for impairment.

This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available or as future events change. The Company used the same methodology and generally similar assumptions in assessing the allowance for both periods. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of loans outstanding was .68% at December 31, 2005 and .70% for the same period in 2004. The level of the allowance is based on estimates and the ultimate losses may vary from the estimates.

Management assesses the allowance for loan losses quarterly. While management uses available information to recognize losses on loans, future loan loss provisions may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions. In addition, regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the allowance for loan losses and may require the bank to recognize additional provisions based on their judgment of information available to them at the time of their examination. The allowance for loan losses as of December 31, 2005 was maintained at a level that represented management’s best estimate of incurred losses in the loan portfolio to the extent they were both probable and reasonably estimable.

Noninterest Income. Noninterest income increased $594,000, or 38.3% to $2.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2005 from $1.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2004, primarily as a result of a $675,000 increase in income related to the increase in cash surrender value of the BOLI investment, an increase of $47,000 in customer service fees, a decrease of $75,000 in gains from the sale of securities in the prior year’s period, and a decrease of $46,000 in prepayment penalties on mortgage loans.

Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense increased $752,000 or 5.9%, to $13.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2005 from $12.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2004. This increase was primarily the

result of a $213,000 increase in salaries and employee benefits, a $191,000 increase in occupancy and equipment expense, an $88,000 increase in professional fees, and an $85,000 increase in advertising fees.

Salaries and employee benefits represented 54.3% and 55.9% of total noninterest expense for the year ended December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively. Total salaries and employee benefits increased $213,000, or 3.0%, to $7.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2005 from $7.1 million for the same period in 2004. Salary expense increased $253,000 due to the addition of 7 full time equivalents as well as increased salaries in the current year. Employee taxes increased $83,000, and 401k Company contributions increased $39,000, resulting from higher salaries during the year. Stock award expense increased by $56,000 due to the additional awards that were granted during the second quarter of 2004. Salaries and employee benefits was partially reduced by a decrease in bonus expenses of $172,000 as a result of lower year to date income for 2005 as well as a net $88,000 decrease in ESOP compensation expense primarily due to the sale of forfeited ESOP shares. Per the provisions of the ESOP plan, forfeited shares were sold out of the plan and used to reduce the Company’s contribution resulting in a reduction of compensation expense during the current year. Other miscellaneous fluctuations occurred in various other benefit accounts contributing to the overall net increase.

Total occupancy and equipment expenses increased $191,000 or 10.7% to $2.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2005 from $1.8 million for the same period in 2004. This was primarily due to an increase of $58,000 in furniture and equipment depreciation expenses, an increase of $50,000 in furniture and equipment maintenance expenses, an increase of $44,000 in building maintenance expenses and an increase of $43,000 in corporate bond insurance expenses. The increase in furniture and equipment maintenance expenses are primarily the result of equipment upgrades done during the third quarter of 2005. Building maintenance increased in 2005 primarily due to various building improvements and repairs. Corporate bond insurance increased due to higher insurance premiums in 2005.

Professional fees increased $88,000 primarily due to increased auditing fees as a result of compliance with Rule 404 of the recently enacted Sarbanes-Oxley regulation as well as increased legal fees associated with the development of a new loan product.

Advertising fees increased $85,000 due primarily to increased branch advertising and marketing efforts related to the new loan product introduced during the current year.

Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense decreased $1.3 million to $2.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2005, from $3.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2004. The effective tax rate was 35.3% and 43.4% for the year ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate is attributable to the tax exempt status of income from the BOLI investment purchased during the first quarter of 2005 and tax credits from the affordable housing fund investment made in December 2004.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Years Ended December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003

General. Net income for the year ended December 31, 2004 was $5.1 million, an increase of $1.0 million, or 23.8%, from the year ended December 31, 2003. The increase in net income resulted from the fluctuations described below.

Interest income. Interest income increased by $4.0 million, or 14.5%, to $31.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2004 from $27.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2003. The primary factor for the increase in interest income was an increase in the average balance of loans receivable of $117.5 million, or 23.3%, from $504.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2003 to $621.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2004. The increase was primarily the result of loan originations exceeding repayments due to strong demand, reflecting generally lower interest rates in 2004. The growth consisted primarily of increases in single family, multifamily, commercial and land loans. The Company offers competitive rates and does not expect the composition of the loan portfolio to change. A 33 basis point decrease in the average yield on loans

receivable, from 5.35% for the year ended December 31, 2003 to 5.02% for the year ended 2004 negatively impacted interest income, and was primarily due to the continued strong refinance market resulting from lower market rates of interest. Contributing to this decrease was also the rollover of the Company’s significant adjustable rate loan portfolio adjusting downward from higher rates a few years ago.

Interest income on securities decreased by $281,000, or 64.6%, to $154,000 for the year ended December 31, 2004. The decrease resulted from an $8.0 million, or 63.5%, decrease in the average balance of securities, attributable to the sale of agency debt securities and increased rate of repayment on collateralized mortgage obligations in a declining interest rate environment. These cash flows were reinvested into higher yielding loans receivable. This decrease was also a result of the average yield on the securities portfolio declining to 3.36% for the year ended December 31, 2004 compared to 3.47% for the year ended December 31, 2003, due to generally low levels of market rates of interest in 2004.

Interest income from other interest-earning assets increased $78,000 to $391,000 for the year ended December 31, 2004 from $313,000 for the year ended December 31, 2003. The increase resulted from an increase in the average balance of other interest-earning assets from $15.1 million to $16.6 million, which was primarily due to certificates of deposit in the amount of $2.0 million being deposited in other financial institutions.

Interest Expense. Interest expense increased $2.3 million, or 24.8%, to $11.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2004 from $9.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2003. The increase in interest expense resulted primarily from an increase in the average balances of deposit accounts and Federal Home Loan Bank advances. Interest expense on deposits increased $1.8 million, or 30.2%, to $7.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2004 from $6.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2003. This increase resulted from a $92.3 million increase in the average balance of deposits from $326.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2003 to $418.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2004. The average cost of our interest-bearing liabilities was 2.04% for the year ended December 31, 2004 which was consistent with the prior year. Interest expense on Federal Home Loan Bank advances increased $448,000, or 14.3%, to $3.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2004 from $3.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2003. This increase resulted from a $18.3 million increase in the average balance of FHLB advances from $123.2 million at December 31, 2003 to $141.5 million at December 31, 2004.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income before provision for loan losses increased $1.7 million, or 9.4%, to $20.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2004 from $18.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2003. The overall increase in net interest income was due primarily to the significant increase of $111.1 million in the average loan balance of interest-earning assets. However, this increase was negatively impacted by a decrease in the net interest spread of 27 basis points to 2.90% and a decrease in the net interest margin of 33 basis points during the period to 3.16%. The Company expects a continued shrinking of the net interest margin due to the recent steady increase of short term interest rates. The ratio of average interest-earning assets to average interest-bearing liabilities decreased to 114.72% for the year ended December 31, 2004 from 118.23% in the year ended December 31, 2003.

Provision for Loan Losses. Provisions for loan losses are charged to operations at a level required to reflect probable incurred credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio. In evaluating the level of the allowance for loan losses, management considers historical loss experience, the types of loans and the amount of loans in the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral, peer group information, and prevailing economic conditions. Large groups of smaller balance homogenous loans, such as residential real estate, small commercial real estate, and home equity and consumer loans, are evaluated in the aggregate using historical loss factors and peer group data adjusted for current economic conditions. Large balance and/or more complex loans, such as multi-family and commercial real estate loans, and classified loans, are evaluated individually for impairment.

Provisions of $238,000 and $1.3 million were made for the year ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Although a net increase in loans occurred during the year ended December 31, 2004, the provision decreased by $1.0 million over the prior year due to slower growth in loans in 2004 to 2003 as well as continued low levels of charge-offs and nonperforming loans. Loan delinquencies decreased $2.7 million over prior year to $2.0 million at year end. The loan growth experienced continues to be achieved primarily through the use of independent loan originators and through whole loan purchases. Since Pacific Trust Bank did not have a seasoned portfolio in this type of lending and did not have a related loss history to apply to these types of loans, peer group data adjusted for local economic conditions was used to establish our loan loss allowance, resulting in the $238,000 provision.

This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available or as future events change. We used the same methodology and generally similar assumptions in assessing the allowance for both periods. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of loans outstanding decreased to .70% at December 31, 2004 from .72% at December 31, 2003. This decrease was primarily the result of continued growth in the secured portion of Bank’s loan portfolio combined with current economic conditions. The level of the allowance is based on estimates and the ultimate losses may vary from the estimates.

Management assesses the allowance for loan losses quarterly. While management uses available information to recognize losses on loans, future loan loss provisions may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions. In addition, regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the allowance for loan losses and may require Pacific Trust Bank to recognize additional provisions based on their judgment of information available to them at the time of their examination. The allowance for loan losses as of December 31, 2004 was maintained at a level that represented management’s best estimate of anticipated losses in the loan portfolio to the extent they were both probable and reasonably estimable.

Noninterest Income. Noninterest income increased $269,000, or 21.0%, to $1.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2004 from $1.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2003, primarily as a result of an increase of $127,000 in customer service fees on deposit accounts, a $93,000 gain made on sale of securities and $55,000 in mortgage loan prepayment penalties. Customer service fees increased as a result of an increased volume of transactions on checking accounts, ATM and debit cards.

Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense increased $1.1 million, or 10.0%, to $12.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2004 from $11.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2003. This increase was primarily the result of a $1.1 million increase in salaries and employee benefits, a $311,000 impairment loss taken on an equity fund investment and an $86,000 increase in professional fees, partially offset by a $118,000 decrease in other general and administrative expenses.

Salaries and employee benefits represented 56.0% and 52.2% of total noninterest expense for the year ended December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively. Total salaries and employee benefits increased $1.1 million, or 17.7%, to $7.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2004 from $6.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2003. The increase was primarily due to an increase of $249,000 in salary expense due to an increase of 11 full time equivalent employees and an increase of $317,000 in RRP compensation expense related to the additional awards made in 2004. Other contributing factors included an increase of $198,000 in the bonus compensation expense due to changes in the bonus structure from the prior period, an increase of $176,000 in ESOP compensation expense resulting from an increase in the Company’s stock price for the period ended December 31, 2004 compared to the same period in 2003, and $118,000 in employee taxes, health insurance and other employee benefits resulting primarily from an increase in number of full time employees.

A $4.5 million equity investment was made in an affordable housing fund for purposes of obtaining tax credits and for Community Reinvestment Act purposes. This investment is regularly evaluated for impairment by

comparing the carrying value to the remaining tax credits expected to be received. In December, 2004, an other than temporary impairment loss of $311,000 was recognized. At December 31, 2004, total benefits expected to be received by this investment approximated $4.6 million.

Professional fees increased $86,000 due primarily to increased audit fees associated with the required audit related to the Sarbanes Oxley Act.

Other general and administrative expenses decreased $118,000 due to increased expenses incurred in 2003 related to the initial public offering that occurred in the latter part of 2002.

Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense increased to $3.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2004, from $3.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2003. This increase was primarily a result of an increase in pre-tax income. The effective tax rate was 43.4% and 41.9% for the year ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

Critical Accounting Policies

Allowance for Loan Losses: The allowance for loan losses is a valuation allowance for probable incurred credit losses, increased by the provision for loan losses and decreased by chargeoffs less recoveries. Management estimates the allowance balance required using past loan loss experience, peer group information, the nature and volume of the portfolio, information about specific borrower situations and estimated collateral values, economic conditions, and other factors. Allocations of the allowance may be made for specific loans, but the entire allowance is available for any loan that, in management’s judgment, should be charged off. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes that the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed.

Liquidity and Commitments

The Company is required to have enough investments that qualify as liquid assets in order to maintain sufficient liquidity to ensure a safe and sound operation. Liquidity may increase or decrease depending upon the availability of funds and comparative yields on investments in relation to the return on loans. Historically, the Company has maintained liquid assets above levels believed to be adequate to meet the requirements of normal operations, including potential deposit outflows. Cash flow projections are regularly reviewed and updated to assure that adequate liquidity is maintained.

The Company’s liquidity, represented by cash and cash equivalents, is a product of its operating, investing and financing activities. The Company’s primary sources of funds are deposits, amortization, prepayments and maturities of outstanding loans and mortgage-backed securities, maturities of investment securities and other short-term investments and funds provided from operations. While scheduled payments from the amortization of loans and mortgage-backed securities and maturing investment securities and short-term investments are relatively predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition. In addition, the Company invests excess funds in short-term interest-earning assets, which provide liquidity to meet lending requirements. The Company also generates cash through borrowings. The Company utilizes Federal Home Loan Bank advances to leverage its capital base and provide funds for its lending and investment activities, and to enhance its interest rate risk management.

Liquidity management is both a daily and long-term function of business management. Excess liquidity is generally invested in short-term investments such as overnight deposits or U.S. Agency securities. On a longer term basis, the Company maintains a strategy of investing in various lending products as described in greater detail under Item 1. “Business of Pacific Trust Bank—Lending Activities.” The Company uses its sources of funds primarily to meet its ongoing commitments, to pay maturing certificates of deposit and savings withdrawals, to fund loan commitments and to maintain its portfolio of mortgage-backed securities and investment securities. At December 31, 2005, the total approved loan origination commitments outstanding

amounted to $14.6 million. At the same date, unused lines of credit were $32.6 million and outstanding letters of credit totaled $223,000. There are no investments and mortgage-backed securities scheduled to mature in one year or less at December 31, 2005. Certificates of deposit scheduled to mature in one year or less at December 31, 2005, totaled $143.6 million. Although the average cost of deposits increased throughout 2005, management’s policy is to maintain deposit rates at levels that are competitive with other local financial institutions. Based on the competitive rates and on historical experience, management believes that a significant portion of maturing deposits will remain with the Company. In addition, the Company has the ability at December 31, 2005 to borrow an additional $173.0 million from the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco as a funding source to meet commitments and for liquidity purposes.

Capital

Consistent with its goals to operate a sound and profitable financial organization, Pacific Trust Bank actively seeks to maintain a “well capitalized” institution in accordance with regulatory standards. Total equity was $71.4 million at December 31, 2005, or 9.5% of total assets on that date. As of December 31, 2005, Pacific Trust Bank exceeded all capital requirements of the Office of Thrift Supervision. Pacific Trust Bank’s regulatory capital ratios at December 31, 2005 were as follows: core capital 9.50%; Tier I risk-based capital, 14.9%; and total risk-based capital, 15.9%. The regulatory capital requirements to be considered well capitalized are 5.0%, 6.0% and 10.0%, respectively.

Impact of Inflation

The consolidated financial statements presented herein have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These principles require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars, without considering changes in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation.

The Company’s primary assets and liabilities are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates have a more significant impact on our performance than the effects of general levels of inflation. Interest rates, however, do not necessarily move in the same direction or with the same magnitude as the price of goods and services, since such prices are affected by inflation. In a period of rapidly rising interest rates, the liquidity and maturities structures of our assets and liabilities are critical to the maintenance of acceptable performance levels.

The principal effect of inflation, as distinct from levels of interest rates, on earnings is in the area of noninterest expense. Such expense items as employee compensation, employee benefits and occupancy and equipment costs may be subject to increases as a result of inflation. An additional effect of inflation is the possible increase in the dollar value of the collateral securing loans that we have made. The Company is unable

to determine the extent, if any, to which properties securing our loans have appreciated in dollar value due to inflation.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Asset Liability Management

Our Risk When Interest Rates Change. The rates of interest we earn on assets and pay on liabilities generally are established contractually for a period of time. Market interest rates change over time. Accordingly, our results of operations, like those of other financial institutions, are impacted by changes in interest rates and the interest rate sensitivity of our assets and liabilities. The risk associated with changes in interest rates and our ability to adapt to these changes is known as interest rate risk and is our most significant market risk.

How We Measure Our Risk of Interest Rate Changes. As part of our attempt to manage our exposure to changes in interest rates and comply with applicable regulations, we monitor our interest rate risk. In monitoring interest rate risk we continually analyze and manage assets and liabilities based on their payment streams and interest rates, the timing of their maturities, and their sensitivity to actual or potential changes in market interest rates.

In order to manage the potential for adverse effects of material and prolonged increases in interest rates on our results of operations, we adopted asset and liability management policies to better align the maturities and repricing terms of our interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. These policies are implemented by the asset and liability management committee. The asset and liability management committee is chaired by the treasurer and is comprised of members of our senior management. The asset and liability management committee establishes guidelines for and monitors the volume and mix of assets and funding sources taking into account relative costs and spreads, interest rate sensitivity and liquidity needs. The objectives are to manage assets and funding sources to produce results that are consistent with liquidity, capital adequacy, growth, risk and profitability goals. The asset and liability management committee generally meets on at least a monthly basis to review, among other things, economic conditions and interest rate outlook, current and projected liquidity needs and capital position, anticipated changes in the volume and mix of assets and liabilities and interest rate risk exposure limits versus current projections pursuant to net present value of portfolio equity analysis. At each meeting, the asset and liability management committee recommends appropriate strategy changes based on this review. The treasurer or his designee is responsible for reviewing and reporting on the effects of the policy implementations and strategies to the board of directors on a monthly basis.

In order to manage our assets and liabilities and achieve the desired liquidity, credit quality, interest rate risk, profitability and capital targets, we have focused our strategies on:

•

originating and purchasing adjustable-rate mortgage loans,

•

originating shorter-term consumer loans,

•

managing our deposits to establish stable deposit relationships,

•

using FHLB advances to align maturities and repricing terms, and

•

attempting to limit the percentage of fixed-rate loans in our portfolio.

At times, depending on the level of general interest rates, the relationship between long- and short-term interest rates, market conditions and competitive factors, the asset and liability management committee may determine to increase the Company’s interest rate risk position somewhat in order to maintain its net interest margin.

As part of its procedures, the asset and liability management committee regularly reviews interest rate risk by forecasting the impact of alternative interest rate environments on net interest income and market value of portfolio equity, which is defined as the net present value of an institution’s existing assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet instruments, and evaluating such impacts against the maximum potential changes in net interest income and market value of portfolio equity that are authorized by the board of directors of the Company.

The Office of Thrift Supervision provides Pacific Trust Bank with the information presented in the following tables. They present the change in Pacific Trust Bank’s net portfolio value at December 31, 2005 and 2004, that would occur upon an immediate change in interest rates based on Office of Thrift Supervision assumptions, but without effect to any steps that management might take to counteract that change.

(1)	Assumes an instantaneous uniform change in interest rates at all maturities.

The Office of Thrift Supervision uses certain assumptions in assessing the interest rate risk of savings associations. These assumptions relate to interest rates, loan prepayment rates, deposit decay rates, and the market values of certain assets under differing interest rate scenarios, among others.

As with any method of measuring interest rate risk, certain shortcomings are inherent in the method of analysis presented in the foregoing table. For example, although certain assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or periods to repricing, they may react in different degrees to changes in market interest rates. Also, the interest rates on certain types of assets and liabilities may fluctuate in advance of changes in market interest rates, while interest rates on other types may lag behind changes in market rates. Additionally, certain assets, such as adjustable rate mortgage loans, have features which restrict changes in interest rates on a short-term basis and over the life of the asset. Further, if interest rates change, expected rates of prepayments on loans and early withdrawals from certificates could deviate significantly from those assumed in calculating the table.

MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

The management of First PacTrust Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material affect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention of overriding controls. Accordingly, even effective internal control over financial reporting can provide reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Management has assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, based on the framework set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Based on that assessment, management concluded that, as of December 31, 2005, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective based on the criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework.

Management’s assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, has been audited by Crowe Chizek and Company LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm. As stated in their attestation report, they express an unqualified opinion on management’s assessment and on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005. See “Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm on internal control over financial reporting.”

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Board of Directors

First PacTrust Bancorp, Inc.

Chula Vista, California

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial condition of First PacTrust Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2005. We also have audited management’s assessment, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting, that the Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company’s management is responsible for these financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements, an opinion on management’s assessment, and an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit of financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating management’s assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2005 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, management’s assessment that the Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Furthermore, in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
