General

          FNB Bancorp (sometimes referred to herein as the “Company”) is a bank holding company registered under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended. The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of California on February 28, 2001. As a bank holding company, the Company is authorized to engage in the activities permitted under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, and regulations thereunder. Its principal office is located at 975 El Camino Real, South San Francisco, California 94080, and its telephone number is (650) 588-6800.

          The Company owns all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of First National Bank of Northern California, a national banking association (“First National Bank” or the “Bank”). The Company has no other subsidiary.

          The Bank was organized in 1963 as “First National Bank of Daly City.” In 1995, the shareholders approved a change in the name to “First National Bank of Northern California.” The administrative headquarters of the Bank is located at 975 El Camino Real, South San Francisco, California. The Bank is locally owned and presently operates thirteen full service banking offices in the cities of Colma, Daly City, South San Francisco, Millbrae, Pacifica, Half Moon Bay, San Mateo, Redwood City, Pescadero, as well as its Financial District and Portola offices in San Francisco. The Bank’s primary business is servicing the business or commercial banking needs of individuals and small to mid-sized businesses within San Mateo and San Francisco Counties.

          The Bank is chartered under the laws of the United States and is governed by the National Bank Act, and is a member of the Federal Reserve System. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insures the deposits of the Bank up to the applicable legal limits. The Bank is also participating in the FDIC Transaction Account Guarantee Program (“TAGP”). Under that program, through December 31, 2009, all noninterest-bearing transaction accounts are fully guaranteed by the FDIC for the entire amount in the account. Coverage under the TAGP is in addition to and separate from the coverage available under the FDIC’s general deposit insurance rules. The Bank is subject to regulation, supervision and regular examination by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. The regulations of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency govern many aspects of the Bank’s business and activities, including investments, loans, borrowings, branching, mergers and acquisitions, reporting and numerous other areas. The Bank is also subject to applicable provisions of California law to the extent those provisions are not in conflict with or preempted by federal banking law. See “Supervision and Regulation” below.

          First National Bank offers a broad range of services to individuals and businesses in its primary service area, including a full line of business financial products with specialized services such as courier, appointment banking, and business Internet banking. The Bank offers personal and business checking and savings accounts, including individual interest-bearing negotiable orders of withdrawal (“NOW”), money market accounts and/or accounts combining checking and savings accounts with automatic transfer capabilities, IRA accounts, time certificates of deposit, direct deposit services and computer cash management with access through the Internet. First National Bank also makes available commercial loans and standby letters of credit and construction, accounts receivable, inventory, automobile, home improvement, residential real estate, commercial real estate, single family mortgage, Small Business Administration, office equipment, leasehold improvement and consumer loans as well as overdraft protection lines of credit. In addition, the Bank sells travelers checks and cashiers checks, offers automated teller machine (ATM) services tied in with major statewide and national networks and offers other customary commercial banking services.

4


          Most of First National Bank’s deposits are obtained from commercial and non-profit businesses, professionals and individuals. As of December 31, 2008, First National Bank had a total of 23,420 deposit accounts. On occasion, the Bank has obtained deposits through deposit brokers for which it pays a broker fee. As of December 31, 2008, First National Bank had no such deposits. There is no concentration of deposits or any customer with 5% or more of First National Bank’s deposits.

          At December 31, 2008, the Company had total assets of $660,957,000, net loans of $497,984,000, deposits of $500,910,000 and shareholders’ equity of $68,149,000. The Company competes with approximately 33 other banking or savings institutions in its service areas. The Company’s market share of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured deposits in the service area of San Mateo County is approximately 2.44% (based upon the most recent information available by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation through June 30, 2008). See “Competitive Data” below.

Employees

          At December 31, 2008, The Company employed 180 persons on a full-time equivalent basis. The Company believes its employee relations are good. The Company is not a party to any collective bargaining agreement.

SUPERVISION AND REGULATION

General

          FNB Bancorp. The common stock of FNB Bancorp is subject to the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the qualification requirements of the California Corporate Securities Law of 1968, as amended. FNB Bancorp has registered its common stock under Section 12 (g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Company is also subject to the periodic reporting requirements of Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which include, but are not limited to, annual, quarterly and other current reports required to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

          FNB Bancorp is a bank holding company within the meaning of the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the “Bank Holding Company Act”), and is registered as such with, and subject to the supervision of, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Board of Governors”). FNB Bancorp is required to obtain the approval of the Board of Governors before it may acquire all or substantially all of the assets of any bank, or ownership or control of the voting shares of any bank if, after giving effect to such acquisition of shares, FNB Bancorp would own or control more than 5% of the voting shares of such bank. The Bank Holding Company Act prohibits FNB Bancorp from acquiring any voting shares of, or interest in, all or substantially all of the assets of a bank located outside the State of California unless such an acquisition is specifically authorized by the laws of the state in which such bank is located. Any such interstate acquisition is also subject to the provisions of the Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994.

          FNB Bancorp, and any subsidiary which it may acquire or organize, are deemed to be “affiliates” of the Bank within the meaning of that term as defined in the Federal Reserve Act. This means, for example, that there are limitations (a) on loans by First National Bank to its affiliates, and (b) on investments by First National Bank in affiliates’ stock as collateral for loans to any borrower. FNB Bancorp and First National Bank are also subject to certain restrictions with respect to engaging in the underwriting, public sale and distribution of securities.

          In addition, regulations of the Board of Governors under the Federal Reserve Act require that reserves be maintained by First National Bank in conjunction with any liability of FNB Bancorp under any obligation (promissory note, acknowledgment of advance, banker’s acceptance or similar obligation) with a weighted average maturity of less than seven (7) years to the extent that the proceeds of such obligations are used for the purpose of supplying funds to First National Bank for use in its banking business, or to maintain the availability of such funds.

          First National Bank of Northern California. As a national banking association licensed under the national banking laws of the United States, First National Bank is regularly examined by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and is subject to supervision and regulation by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency.

6


          This supervision and regulation includes comprehensive reviews of all major aspects of First National Bank’s business and condition, including its capital ratios, allowance for possible loan losses and other factors. However, no inference should be drawn that such authorities have approved any such factors. First National Bank is required to file reports with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. First National Bank’s deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to the applicable legal limits.

Capital Standards.

          The Board of Governors, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency have adopted risk-based guidelines for evaluating the capital adequacy of bank holding companies and banks. The guidelines are designed to make capital requirements sensitive to differences in risk profiles among banking organizations, to take into account off-balance sheet exposures and to aid in making the definition of bank capital uniform internationally. Under the guidelines, First National Bank is required to maintain (and FNB Bancorp and First National Bank will be required to maintain) capital equal to at least 8.0% of its assets and commitments to extend credit, weighted by risk, of which at least 4.0% must consist primarily of common equity (including retained earnings) and the remainder may consist of subordinated debt, cumulative preferred stock, or a limited amount of loan loss reserves.

          Assets, commitments to extend credit, and off-balance sheet items are categorized according to risk and certain assets considered to present less risk than others permit maintenance of capital at less than the 8% ratio. For example, most home mortgage loans are placed in a 50% risk category and therefore require maintenance of capital equal to 4% of those loans, while commercial loans are placed in a 100% risk category and therefore require maintenance of capital equal to 8% of those loans.

          Under the risk-based capital guidelines, assets reported on an institution’s balance sheet and certain off-balance sheet items are assigned to risk categories, each of which has an assigned risk weight. Capital ratios are calculated by dividing the institution’s qualifying capital by its period-end risk-weighted assets. The guidelines establish two categories of qualifying capital: Tier 1 capital (defined to include common shareholders’ equity and noncumulative perpetual preferred stock) and Tier 2 capital which includes, among other items, limited life (and in the case of banks, cumulative) preferred stock, mandatory convertible securities, subordinated debt and a limited amount of reserve for credit losses. Tier 2 capital may also include up to 45% of the pretax unrealized gains on certain available-for-sale equity securities having readily determinable fair values (i.e. the excess, if any, of fair market value over the book value or historical cost of the investment security). The federal regulatory agencies reserve the right to exclude all or a portion of the unrealized gains upon a determination that the equity securities are not prudently valued. Unrealized gains and losses on other types of assets, such as bank premises and available-for-sale debt securities, are not included in Tier 2 capital, but may be taken into account in the evaluation of overall capital adequacy and net unrealized losses on available-for-sale equity securities will continue to be deducted from Tier 1 capital as a cushion against risk. Each institution is required to maintain a minimum risk-based capital ratio (including Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital) of 8%, of which at least half must be Tier 1 capital.

7


          A leverage capital standard was adopted as a supplement to the risk-weighted capital guidelines. Under the leverage capital standard, an institution is required to maintain a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to the sum of its quarterly average total assets and quarterly average reserve for loan losses, less intangibles not included in Tier 1 capital. Period-end assets may be used in place of quarterly average total assets on a case-by-case basis. The Board of Governors and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation have also adopted a minimum leverage ratio for bank holding companies as a supplement to the risk-weighted capital guidelines. The leverage ratio establishes a minimum Tier 1 ratio of 3% (Tier 1 capital to total assets) for the highest rated bank holding companies or those that have implemented the risk-based capital market risk measure. All other bank holding companies must maintain a minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio of 4% with higher leverage capital ratios required for bank holding companies that have significant financial and/or operational weakness, a high risk profile, or are undergoing or anticipating rapid growth.

          At December 31, 2008, the Company was in compliance with the risk-weighted capital and leverage ratios. See “Capital” under Item 7 below.

Prompt Corrective Action

          The Board of Governors, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, and Office of the Comptroller of the Currency have adopted regulations implementing a system of prompt corrective action pursuant to Section 38 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Section 131 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 (“FDICIA”). The regulations establish five capital categories with the following characteristics:

(1) “Well capitalized” – consisting of institutions with a total risk-based capital ratio of 10% or greater, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 6% or greater and a leverage ratio of 5% or greater, and the institution is not subject to an order, written agreement, capital directive or prompt corrective action directive;

(2) “Adequately capitalized” – consisting of institutions with a total risk-based capital ratio of 8% or greater, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 4% or greater and a leverage ratio of 4% or greater, and the institution does not meet the definition of a “well capitalized” institution;

(3) “Undercapitalized” – consisting of institutions with a total risk-based capital ratio less than 8%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of less than 4%, or a leverage ratio of less than 4%;

(4) “Significantly undercapitalized” – consisting of institutions with a total risk-based capital ratio of less than 6%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of less than 3%, or a leverage ratio of less than 3%;

(5) “Critically undercapitalized” – consisting of an institution with a ratio of tangible equity to total assets that is equal to or less than 2%.

8


          The regulations established procedures for classification of financial institutions within the capital categories, filing and reviewing capital restoration plans required under the regulations and procedures for issuance of directives by the appropriate regulatory agency, among other matters. The regulations impose restrictions upon all institutions to refrain from certain actions which would cause an institution to be classified within any one of the three “undercapitalized” categories, such as declaration of dividends or other capital distributions or payment of management fees, if following the distribution or payment the institution would be classified within one of the “undercapitalized” categories. In addition, institutions that are classified in one of the three “undercapitalized” categories are subject to certain mandatory and discretionary supervisory actions. Mandatory supervisory actions include:

(1) increased monitoring and review by the appropriate federal banking agency;

(2) implementation of a capital restoration plan;

(3) total asset growth restrictions; and

(4) limitation upon acquisitions, branch expansion, and new business activities without prior approval of the appropriate federal banking agency. Discretionary supervisory actions may include:

           (a) requirements to augment capital;

           (b) restrictions upon affiliate transactions;

           (c) restrictions upon deposit gathering activities and interest rates paid;

           (d) replacement of senior executive officers and directors;

           (e) restrictions upon activities of the institution and its affiliates;

           (f) requiring divestiture or sale of the institution; and

           (g) any other supervisory action that the appropriate federal banking agency determines is necessary to further the purposes of the regulations. Further, the federal banking agencies may not accept a capital restoration plan without determining, among other things, that the plan is based on realistic assumptions and is likely to succeed in restoring the depository institution’s capital. In addition, for a capital restoration plan to be acceptable, the depository institution’s parent holding company must guarantee that the institution will comply with such capital restoration plan.

          The aggregate liability of the parent holding company under the guaranty is limited to the lesser of (i) an amount equal to 5 percent of the depository institution’s total assets at the time it became undercapitalized, and (ii) the amount that is necessary (or would have been necessary) to bring the institution into compliance with all capital standards applicable with respect to such institution as of the time it fails to comply with the plan. If a depository institution fails to submit an acceptable plan, it is treated as if it were “significantly undercapitalized”. FDICIA also restricts the solicitation and acceptance of and interest rates payable on brokered deposits by insured depository institutions that are not “well capitalized.” An “undercapitalized” institution is not allowed to solicit deposits by offering rates of interest that are significantly higher than the prevailing rates of interest on insured deposits in the particular institution’s normal market areas or in the market areas in which such deposits would otherwise be accepted.

9


          Any financial institution which is classified as “critically undercapitalized” must be placed in conservatorship or receivership within 90 days of such determination unless it is also determined that some other course of action would better serve the purposes of the regulations. Critically undercapitalized institutions are also prohibited from making (but not accruing) any payment of principal or interest on subordinated debt without prior regulatory approval and regulators must prohibit a critically undercapitalized institution from taking certain other actions without prior approval, including (1) entering into any material transaction other than in the usual course of business, including investment expansion, acquisition, sale of assets or other similar actions; (2) extending credit for any highly leveraged transaction; (3) amending articles or bylaws unless required to do so to comply with any law, regulation or order; (4) making any material change in accounting methods; (5) engaging in certain affiliate transactions; (6) paying excessive compensation or bonuses; and (7) paying interest on new or renewed liabilities at rates which would increase the weighted average costs of funds beyond prevailing rates in the institution’s normal market areas.

Additional Regulations

          Under FDICIA, the federal financial institution agencies have adopted regulations which require institutions to establish and maintain comprehensive written real estate policies which address certain lending considerations, including loan-to-value limits, loan administrative policies, portfolio diversification standards, and documentation, approval and reporting requirements. FDICIA further generally prohibits an insured bank from engaging as a principal in any activity that is impermissible for a national bank, absent Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation determination that the activity would not pose a significant risk to the Bank Insurance Fund, and that such bank is, and will continue to be, within applicable capital standards.

          The Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (“FFIEC”) utilizes the Uniform Institutions Rating System (“UFIRS”), commonly referred to as “CAMELS,” to classify and evaluate the soundness of financial institutions. Bank examiners use the CAMELS measurements to evaluate capital adequacy, asset quality, management, earnings, liquidity and sensitivity to market risk. Effective January 1, 2005, bank holding companies such as the Company, became subject to evaluation and examination under a revised bank holding company rating system. This so-called BOPEC rating system, implemented in 1979, has been focused primarily on financial condition, consolidated capital and consolidated earnings. The new rating system reflects a change toward analysis of risk management (as reflected in bank examination under the CAMELS measurements), in addition to financial factors and the potential impact of nondepository subsidiaries upon depository institution subsidiaries.

          The federal financial institution agencies have established bases for analysis and standards for assessing financial institution’s capital adequacy in conjunction with the risk-based capital guidelines including analysis of interest rate risk, concentrations of credit risk, risk posed by non-traditional activities, and factors affecting overall safety and soundness. The safety and soundness standards for insured financial institutions include analysis of (1) internal controls, information systems and internal audit systems; (2) loan documentation; (3) credit underwriting; (4) interest rate exposure; (5) asset growth; (6) compensation, fees and benefits; and (7) excessive compensation for executive officers, directors or principal shareholders which could lead to material financial loss. If an agency determines that an institution fails to meet any standard, the agency may require the financial institution to submit to the agency an acceptable plan to achieve compliance with the standard. If the agency requires submission of a compliance plan and the institution fails to timely submit an acceptable plan or to implement an accepted plan, the agency must require the institution to correct the deficiency. The agencies may elect to initiate enforcement action in certain cases rather than rely on an existing plan particularly where failure to meet one or more of the standards could threaten the safe and sound operation of the institution.

10


          Community Reinvestment Act (“CRA”) regulations evaluate banks’ lending to low and moderate income individuals and businesses across a four-point scale from “outstanding” to “substantial noncompliance,” and are a factor in regulatory review of applications to merge, establish new branches or form bank holding companies. In addition, any bank rated in “substantial noncompliance” with the CRA regulations may be subject to enforcement proceedings. First National Bank has a current rating of “satisfactory” for CRA compliance.

FDIC Insurance

          In 1996, pursuant to Congressional mandate, the FDIC reduced bank deposit insurance assessment rates to a range from $0 to $0.27 per $100 of deposits, dependent upon a bank’s risk. In 2005, Congress adopted the Federal Deposit Insurance Reform Act of 2005 (the “Reform Act”), which had the effect of merging the Bank Insurance Fund and the Savings Association Insurance Fund into a new Deposit Insurance Fund (“DIF”). The FDIC released final regulations under the Reform Act on November 2, 2006 that established a revised risk-based deposit insurance assessment rate system for members of the DIF to insure, among other matters, that there will be sufficient assessment income for repayment of DIF obligations and to further refine the differentiation of risk profiles among institutions as a basis for assessments. Under the new assessment rate system, the FDIC set the assessment rates that became effective January 1, 2007 for most institutions from $0.05 to $0.07 per $100 of insured deposits and established a Designated Reserve Ratio (“DRR”) for the DIF during 2007 of 1.25% of insured deposits.

          The new assessment rate system consolidates the nine categories of the prior assessment system into four categories (Risk Categories I, II, III and IV) and three Supervisory Groups (A, B and C) based upon institution’s capital levels and supervisory ratings. Risk Category I includes all well capitalized institutions with the highest supervisory ratings. Risk Category II includes adequately capitalized institutions that are assigned to Supervisory Groups A and B. Risk Category III includes all undercapitalized institutions that are assigned to Supervisory Groups A and B and institutions assigned to Supervisory Group C that are not undercapitalized but have a low supervisory rating. Risk Category IV includes all undercapitalized institutions that are assigned to Supervisory Group C.

          On October 3, 2008, the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (the “EESA”) was signed into law. The EESA temporarily raised the limit on federal deposit insurance coverage provided by the FDIC from $100,000 to $250,000 per depositor.

11


          On October 14, 2008, the FDIC implemented the Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program (the “TLGP”) to strengthen confidence and encourage liquidity in the financial system. The TLGP includes the Transaction Account Guarantee Program (the “TAGP”). The TAGP offers full guarantee for noninterest-bearing transaction accounts held at FDIC-insured depository institutions. The unlimited deposit coverage was voluntary for eligible institutions and was in addition to the $250,000 FDIC deposit insurance per account that was included as part of the EESA. The insured deposit limits are currently scheduled to return to $100,000 on January 1, 2010, except for certain retirement accounts. The TAGP coverage became effective on October 14, 2008 and is scheduled to continue for participating institutions until December 31, 2009. In addition to the existing risk-based deposit insurance premium assessed on such deposits, TAGP participants will be assessed, on a quarterly basis, an annualized 10 basis point fee on balances in noninterest-bearing transaction accounts that exceed the existing deposit insurance limit of $250,000. The Bank has elected to participate in the TAGP.

          On December 16, 2008, the FDIC approved an earlier proposed seven basis point rate increase for the first quarter 2009 assessment period effective January 1, 2009 as part of the DIF restoration plan to achieve a minimum DRR of 1.15% within five years.

          On February 27, 2009, the FDIC issued a press release with attached final rule dated February 26, 2009, which established increased assessment rates effective as of April 1, 2009 and included adjustments to improve differentiation of risk profiles among institutions. The FDIC concurrently adopted an interim rule that imposes a 20 basis point emergency special assessment effective June 30, 2009, to be collected from all insured depository institutions on September 30, 2009, in addition to the imposition of an emergency special assessment of up to 10 basis points at the end of any calendar quarter after June 30, 2009 if the FDIC determines the DRR will fall to a level that would adversely affect public confidence, among other factors. The proposed changes to differentiate risk profiles will require riskier institutions to pay higher assessment rates based on classification into one of four risk categories. Within each category, the FDIC will be able to assess higher rates to institutions with a significant reliance on secured liabilities, which generally raises the FDIC’s loss in the event of failure without providing additional assessment revenue. The proposal also would assess higher rates for institutions with a significant reliance on brokered deposits but, for well-managed and well-capitalized institutions, only when accompanied by rapid asset growth. The proposal also would provide incentives in the form of a reduction in assessment rates for institutions to hold long-term unsecured debt and, for smaller institutions, high levels of Tier 1 capital. Together, the changes would improve the way the system differentiates risk among insured institutions and help ensure that a minimum DRR of at least 1.15% by the end of 2013.

          Based upon the announced increase in assessments for insured financial institutions in 2009 as described above and the continuing adverse economic conditions impacting financial institutions generally which may necessitate further increases in assessments, the Company anticipates that such assessments will have a significantly greater impact upon operating expenses in 2009 compared to 2008.

Limitation on Dividends

          FNB Bancorp. The Company’s ability to pay cash dividends is subject to restrictions set forth in the California General Corporation Law. The Company has to make dividend payments to the U. S. Treasury on the Preferred shares that were issued in February 27, 2009, before the Company can pay dividends on our Common Stock. Funds for payment of any cash dividends by the Company would be obtained from its investments as well as dividends and/or management fees from First National Bank. First National Bank’s ability to pay cash dividends is subject to restrictions imposed under the National Bank Act and regulations promulgated by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency.

          FNB Bancorp has paid quarterly dividends for each quarter commencing with the second quarter of 2002. Future dividends will continue to be determined after consideration of the Company’s earnings, financial condition, future capital funds, regulatory requirements and other factors such as the Board of Directors may deem relevant. It is the intention of the Company to continue to pay cash dividends, subject to legal restrictions on the payment of cash dividends and depending upon the level of earnings, management’s assessment of future capital needs and other factors to be considered by the Board of Directors.

          The California General Corporation Law provides that a corporation may make a distribution to its shareholders if the corporation’s retained earnings equal at least the amount of the proposed distribution. The California General Corporation Law further provides that, in the event sufficient retained earnings are not available for the proposed distribution, a corporation may nevertheless make a distribution to its shareholders if, after giving effect to the distribution, it meets two conditions, which generally stated are as follows: (i) the corporation’s assets must equal at least 125% of its liabilities; and (ii) the corporation’s current assets must equal at least its current liabilities or, if the average of the corporation’s earnings before taxes on income and before interest expense for the two preceding fiscal years was less than the average of the corporation’s interest expense for those fiscal years, then the corporation’s current assets must equal at least 125% of its current liabilities.

          The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System generally prohibits a bank holding company from declaring or paying a cash dividend which would impose undue pressure on the capital of subsidiary banks or would be funded only through borrowing or other arrangements that might adversely affect a bank holding company’s financial position. The Federal Reserve Board policy is that a bank holding company should not continue its existing rate of cash dividends on its common stock unless its net income is sufficient to fully fund each dividend and its prospective rate of earnings retention appears consistent with its capital needs, asset quality and overall financial condition.

          First National Bank of Northern California. As First National Bank’s sole shareholder, FNB Bancorp is entitled to receive dividends when and as declared by its Board of Directors, out of funds legally available therefore, subject to the restrictions set forth in the National Bank Act.

          The payment of cash dividends by First National Bank may be subject to the approval of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, as well as restrictions established by federal banking law and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Approval of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency is required if the total of all dividends declared by First National Bank’s board of directors in any calendar year will exceed First National Bank’s net profits for that year combined with its retained net profits for the preceding two years, less any required transfers to surplus or to a fund for the retirement of preferred stock. Additionally, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and/or the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, might, under some circumstances, place restrictions on the ability of a bank to pay dividends based upon peer group averages and the performance and maturity of that bank.

COMPETITION

Competitive Data

          In its market area, First National Bank competes for deposit and loan customers with other banks (including those with much greater resources), thrifts and, to a lesser extent, credit unions, finance companies and other financial service providers.

          Larger banks may have a competitive advantage because of higher lending limits and major advertising and marketing campaigns. They also perform services, such as trust services, international banking, discount brokerage and insurance services, which First National Bank is not authorized nor prepared to offer currently. First National Bank has made arrangements with its correspondent banks and with others to provide some of these services for its customers. For borrowers requiring loans in excess of First National Bank’s legal lending limits, First National Bank has offered, and intends to offer in the future, such loans on a participating basis with its correspondent banks and with other independent banks, retaining the portion of such loans which is within its lending limits. As of December 31, 2008, First National Bank’s aggregate legal lending limits to a single borrower and such borrower’s related parties were $10,711,000 on an unsecured basis and $17,851,000 on a fully secured basis, based on regulatory capital of $71,405,000.

          First National Bank’s business is concentrated in its service area, which primarily encompasses San Mateo County, but also includes portions of the City and County of San Francisco. The economy of First National Bank’s service area is dependent upon government, manufacturing, tourism, retail sales, population growth and smaller service oriented businesses.

          Based upon the most recent information made available by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, at June 30, 2008, there were 33 commercial and savings banking institutions in San Mateo County with a total of $18,572,979,000 in deposits at June 30, 2008. First National Bank had a total of 11 offices with total deposits of $453,381,000 at the same date, or 2.44% of the San Mateo County totals.

          Based upon the current assessment rate system, the Bank’s capital ratios and levels of deposits, the Bank anticipates a significant increase in operating expenses due to the FDIC insurance assessment rate expected to be applicable to the Bank during 2009 compared to the rate applicable to the Bank in 2008.

14


General Competitive Factors

          In order to compete with the financial institutions in their primary service areas, community banks such as First National Bank use to the fullest extent possible, the flexibility which is accorded by their independent status. This includes an emphasis on specialized services, local promotional activity, and personal contacts by their respective officers, directors and employees. They also seek to provide special services and programs for individuals in their primary service area who are employed in the agricultural, professional and business fields, such as loans for equipment, furniture and tools of the trade or expansion of practices or businesses. In the event there are customers whose loan demands exceed their respective lending limits, they seek to arrange for such loans on a participation basis with other financial institutions. They also assist those customers requiring services not offered by either bank to obtain such services from correspondent banks.

          Banking is a business that depends on interest rate differentials. In general, the difference .between the interest rate paid by a bank to obtain their deposits and other borrowings and the interest rate received by a bank on loans extended to customers and on securities held in a bank’s portfolio comprise the major portion of a bank’s earnings. Commercial banks compete with savings and loan associations, credit unions, other financial institutions and other entities for funds. For instance, yields on corporate and government debt securities and other commercial paper affect the ability of commercial banks to attract and hold deposits. Commercial banks also compete for loans with savings and loan associations, credit unions, consumer finance companies, mortgage companies and other lending institutions.

          The interest rate differentials of a bank, and therefore its earnings, are affected not only by general economic conditions, both domestic and foreign, but also by statutes and as implemented by federal agencies, particularly the Federal Reserve Board. The Federal Reserve Board can and does implement national monetary policy, such as seeking to curb inflation and combat recession, by its open market operations in United States government securities, adjustments in the amount of interest free reserves that banks and other financial institutions are required to maintain, and adjustments to the discount rates applicable to borrowing by banks from the Federal Reserve Board. These activities influence the growth of bank loans, investments and deposits and also affect interest rates charged on loans and paid on deposits. The nature and timing of any future changes in monetary policies and their impact on First National Bank are not predictable.

Legislative and Regulatory Impact

          Since 1996, California law implementing certain provisions of prior federal law has (1) permitted interstate merger transactions; (2) prohibited interstate branching through the acquisition of a branch business unit located in California without acquisition of the whole business unit of the California bank; and (3) prohibited interstate branching through de novo establishment of California branch offices. Initial entry into California by an out-of-state institution must be accomplished by acquisition or merger with an existing whole bank, which has been in existence for at least five years.

15


          The federal financial institution agencies, especially the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Board of Governors, have taken steps to increase the types of activities in which national banks and bank holding companies can engage, and to make it easier to engage in such activities. The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency has issued regulations permitting national banks to engage in a wider range of activities through subsidiaries. “Eligible institutions” (those national banks that are well capitalized, have a high overall rating and a satisfactory CRA rating, and are not subject to an enforcement order) may engage in activities related to banking through operating subsidiaries subject to an expedited application process. In addition, a national bank may apply to the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency to engage in an activity through a subsidiary in which First National Bank itself may not engage.

          The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (the “Act”), eliminated most of the remaining depression-era “firewalls” between banks, securities firms and insurance companies which was established by the Banking Act of 1933, also known as the Glass-Steagall Act (“Glass-Steagall”). Glass-Steagall sought to insulate banks as depository institutions from the perceived risks of securities dealing and underwriting, and related activities. The Act repealed Section 20 of Glass-Steagall, which prohibited banks from affiliating with securities firms. Bank holding companies that can qualify as “financial holding companies” can now, among other matters, acquire securities firms or create them as subsidiaries, and securities firms can now acquire banks or start banking activities through a financial holding company. The Act includes provisions which permit national banks to conduct financial activities through a subsidiary that are permissible for a national bank to engage in directly, as well as certain activities authorized by statute, or that are financial in nature or incidental to financial activities to the same extent as permitted to a “financial holding company” or its affiliates. This liberalization of United States banking and financial services regulation applies both to domestic institutions and foreign institutions conducting business in the United States. Consequently, the common ownership of banks, securities firms and insurance is now possible, as is the conduct of commercial banking, merchant banking, investment management, securities underwriting and insurance within a single financial institution using a structure authorized by the Act.

          Prior to the Act, significant restrictions existed on the affiliation of banks with securities firms and related securities activities. Banks were also (with minor exceptions) prohibited from engaging in insurance activities or affiliating with insurers. The Act removed these restrictions and substantially eliminated the prohibitions under the Bank Holding Company Act on affiliations between banks and insurance companies. Bank holding companies which qualify as financial holding companies can now, among other matters, insure, guarantee, or indemnify against loss, harm, damage, illness, disability, or death; issue annuities; and act as a principal, agent, or broker regarding such insurance services.

          In order for a commercial bank to affiliate with a securities firm or an insurance company pursuant to the Act, its bank holding company must qualify as a financial holding company. A bank holding company will qualify if (i) its banking subsidiaries are “well capitalized” and “well managed” and (ii) it files with the Board of Governors a certification to such an effect and a declaration that it elects to become a financial holding company. The amendment of the Bank Holding Company Act now permits financial holding companies to engage in activities, and acquire companies engaged in activities, that are financial in nature or incidental to such financial activities. Financial holding companies are also permitted to engage in activities that are complementary to financial activities if the Board of Governors determines that the activity does not pose a substantial risk to the safety or soundness of depository institutions or the financial system in general. These standards expand upon the list of activities “closely related to banking” which to date have defined the permissible activities of bank holding companies under the Bank Holding Company Act.

16


          One further effect of the Act was to require that federal financial institution and securities regulatory agencies prescribe regulation to implement the policy that financial institutions must respect the privacy of their customers and protect the security and confidentiality of customers’ non-public personal information. These regulations require, in general, that financial institutions (1) may not disclose non-public information of customers to non-affiliated third parties without notice to their customers, who must have an opportunity to direct that such information not be disclosed; (2) may not disclose customer account numbers except to consumer reporting agencies; and (3) must give prior disclosure of their privacy policies before establishing new customer relationships.

          Neither the Company nor First National Bank has determined whether or when it may seek to acquire and exercise new powers or activities under the Act, and the extent to which competition will change among financial institutions affected by the Act has not yet become clear.

RECENT LEGISLATION

The Patriot Act

          On October 26, 2001, President Bush signed the USA Patriot Act (the “Patriot Act”), which includes provisions pertaining to domestic security, surveillance procedures, border protection, and terrorism laws to be administered by the Secretary of the Treasury. Title III of the Patriot Act entitled, “International Money Laundering Abatement and Anti-Terrorist Financing Act of 2001” includes amendments to the Bank Secrecy Act which expand the responsibilities of financial institutions in regard to anti-money laundering activities with particular emphasis upon international money laundering and terrorism financing activities through designated correspondent and private banking accounts.

          Effective December 25, 2001, Section 313(a) of the Patriot Act prohibits any insured financial institution such as First National Bank, from providing correspondent accounts to foreign banks which do not have a physical presence in any country (designated as “shell banks”), subject to certain exceptions for regulated affiliates of foreign banks. Section 313(a) also requires financial institutions to take reasonable steps to ensure that foreign bank correspondent accounts are not being used to indirectly provide banking services to foreign shell banks, and Section 319(b) requires financial institutions to maintain records of the owners and agent for service of process of any such foreign banks with whom correspondent accounts have been established.

          Effective July 23, 2002, Section 312 of the Patriot Act created a requirement for special due diligence for correspondent accounts and private banking accounts. Under Section 312, each financial institution that establishes, maintains, administers, or manages a private banking account or a correspondent account in the United States for a non-United States person, including a foreign individual visiting the United States, or a representative of a non-United States person shall establish appropriate, specific, and, where necessary, enhanced, due diligence policies, procedures, and controls that are reasonably designed to detect and record instances of money laundering through those accounts.

17


          The Patriot Act contains various provisions in addition to Sections 313(a) and 312 that affect the operations of financial institutions by encouraging cooperation among financial institutions, regulatory authorities and law enforcement authorities with respect to individuals, entities and organizations engaged in, or reasonably suspected of engaging in, terrorist acts or money laundering activities. The Company and First National Bank are not currently aware of any account relationships between First National Bank and any foreign bank or other person or entity as described above under Sections 313(a) or 312 of the Patriot Act.

          In March 2, 2006, after temporary extensions of the Patriot Act, Congress passed and President Bush signed the “USA Patriot Act Improvement and Reauthorization Act of 2005,” and the related Amendments Act of 2006, which reauthorized all expiring provisions of the Patriot Act by making permanent 14 of the 16 provisions and imposed a four-year expiration date in 2009 on the other two provisions related to “roving surveillance” and production of business records.

          The effects which the Patriot Act and any additional legislation enacted by Congress may have upon financial institutions is uncertain; however, such legislation could increase compliance costs and thereby potentially may have an adverse effect upon the Company’s results of operations.

Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002

          On July 30, 2002, President George W. Bush signed into law the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Act”), legislation designed to address certain issues of corporate governance and accountability.

·

Standards of professional conduct for attorneys, requiring attorneys having an attorney-client relationship with a company, among other matters, to report “up the ladder” to the audit committee, to another board committee or to the entire board of directors regarding certain material violations.

 

 

 

 

·

Expedited filing requirements for Form 4 reports of changes in beneficial ownership of securities, reducing the filing deadline to within 2 business days of the date on which an obligation to report is triggered.

 

 

 

 

·

Accelerated filing requirements for reports on Forms 10-K and 10-Q by public companies which qualify as “accelerated filers,” with a phased-in reduction of the filing deadline for Form 10-K and Form 10-Q.

 

 

 

 

·

Disclosure concerning website access to reports on Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K, and any amendments to those reports, by “accelerated filers” as soon as reasonably practicable after such reports and material are filed with or furnished to the SEC.

 

 

 

 

·

Rules requiring national securities exchanges and national securities associations to prohibit the listing of any security whose issuer does not meet audit committee standards established pursuant to the Act.

          The Company’s securities are not currently listed on any exchange. In the event of such a listing in the future, in addition to the rules promulgated by the SEC pursuant to the Act, the Company would be required to comply with the listing standards applicable to all exchange listed companies.

          The Company has incurred and it is anticipated that it will continue to incur costs to comply with the Act and the rules and regulations promulgated pursuant to the Act by the Securities and Exchange Commission of approximately $200,000 annually.

19


California Corporate Disclosure Act

          Effective January 1, 2003, the California Corporate Disclosure Act (the “CCD Act”) required publicly traded corporations incorporated or qualified to do business in California to disclose information about their past history, auditors, directors and officers. Effective September 28, 2004, the CCD Act, as currently in effect and codified at California Corporations Code Section 1502.1, requires the Company to file with the California Secretary of State and disclose within 150 days after the end of its fiscal year certain information including the following:

 

 

 

 

·

The name of the company’s independent auditor and a description of services, if any, performed for a company during the previous two fiscal years and the period from the end of the most recent fiscal year to the date of filing;

 

 

 

 

·

The annual compensation paid to each director and the five most highly compensated non-director executive officers (including the CEO) during the most recent fiscal year, including all plan and non-plan compensation for all services rendered to a company as specified in Item 402 of Regulation S-K such as grants, awards or issuance of stock, stock options and similar equity-based compensation;

 

 

 

 

·

A description of any loans made to a director or executive officer at a “preferential” loan rate during the company’s two most recent fiscal years, including the amount and terms of the loans;

·

A description of any material pending legal proceedings other than ordinary routine litigation as specified in Item 103 of Regulation S-K and a description of such litigation where the company was found legally liable by a final judgment or order.

          The Company does not currently anticipate that compliance with the CCD Act will have a material adverse effect upon its financial position or results of its operations or its cash flows.

Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008

On October 3, 2008, the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (the “EESA”) was signed into law. Pursuant to the EESA, the United States Department of the Treasury (the “U.S. Treasury”) was granted the authority to take a range of actions for the purpose of stabilizing and providing liquidity to the U.S. financial markets and has implemented several programs, including the purchase by the U.S. Treasury of certain troubled assets from financial institutions under the Troubled Asset Relief Program” (the “TARP”) and the direct purchase by the U.S. Treasury of equity securities of financial institutions under the Capital Purchase Program (the “CPP”). A summary of the CPP appears below under “Recent Regulatory Developments.” The EESA also temporarily raised the limit on federal deposit insurance coverage provided by the FDIC from $100,000 to $250,000 per depositor. Please refer to the discussion of Pro Forma Risk-Based Capital Ratios following Table 14, and the discussion of liquidity sources, immediately following the Pro Forma Risk-Based Capital Ratios.

20


          On February 27, 2009, as part of the CPP, the Company entered into a Letter Agreement and Securities Purchase Agreement – Standard Terms (collectively, the “Purchase Agreement”) with the U.S. Treasury. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company (i) sold to the U.S. Treasury 12,000 shares of the Company’s Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), having a liquidation preference amount of $1,000 per share, for a purchase price of $12,000,000 in cash, and (ii) issued to the U.S. Treasury a warrant (the “Warrant”) to purchase 600 shares of the Company’s Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series B (the “Series B Preferred Stock”), at an exercise price of $0.01 per share. Immediately after the issuance of the Warrant, the U.S. Treasury exercised the Warrant in a cashless exercise resulting in the net issuance of 600 shares of the Series B Preferred Stock, having a liquidation preference amount of $1,000 per share, to the U.S. Treasury. The Series A Preferred Stock entitles its holder(s) to cumulative dividends on the liquidation preference amount on a quarterly basis at a rate of 5% per annum for the first five years, and 9% per annum thereafter. The Series B Preferred Stock entitles its holder(s) to cumulative dividends on the liquidation preference amount on a quarterly basis at a rate of 9% per annum from the date of issuance. Subject to certain conditions, the Series A and Series B Preferred Stock are redeemable at the option of the Company in whole or in part at a redemption price of 100% of the liquidation preference amount plus any accrued and unpaid dividends.

American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009

          On February 17, 2009, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (the “ARRA”) was signed into law. Section 7001 of the ARRA amended Section 111 of the EESA in its entirety. While the U.S. Treasury must promulgate regulations to implement the restrictions and standards set forth in Section 7001, the ARRA, among other things, significantly expands the executive compensation restrictions previously imposed by the EESA. Such restrictions apply to any entity that has received or will receive financial assistance under the TARP, and shall generally continue to apply for as long as any obligation arising from financial assistance provided under the TARP, including preferred stock issued under the CPP, remains outstanding. These ARRA restrictions do not apply to any TARP recipient during such time when the federal government (i) only holds any warrants to purchase common stock of such recipient or (ii) holds no preferred stock or warrants to purchase common stock of such recipient. Since the Company participates in the CPP, the restrictions and standards set forth in Section 7001 of the ARRA are applicable to the Company.

Recent Regulatory Developments

          In response to global credit and liquidity issues involving a number of financial institutions, the United States government, particularly the U.S. Treasury and the Federal financial institution regulatory agencies, have taken a variety of extraordinary measures designed to restore confidence in the financial markets and to strengthen financial institutions, including capital injections, guarantees of bank liabilities and the acquisition of illiquid assets from banks.

21


          Capital Purchase Program. On October 24, 2008, the U.S. Treasury announced plans to direct $700 billion of the TARP funding into the CPP to acquire preferred stock investments in bank holding companies and banks. Requirements for bank holding companies and banks eligible to participate as a Qualifying Financial Institution (“QFI”) in the CPP include:

 

 

 

 

·

Submission of an application prior to November 14, 2008 to the QFI’s Federal banking regulator to obtain preliminary approval to participate in the CPP;

 

 

 

 

·

If the QFI receives preliminary approval, it will have 30 days within which to submit final documentation and fulfill any outstanding requirements;

 

 

 

 

·

The minimum amount of capital eligible for purchase by the U.S. Treasury under the CPP is 1 percent of the Total Risk-Weighted Assets of the QFI and the maximum is the lesser of (i) an amount equal to 3 percent of the Total Risk-Weighted Assets of the QFI or (ii) $25 billion;

 

 

 

 

·

Capital acquired by a QFI under the CPP will be accorded Tier 1 capital treatment;

 

 

 

 

·

The preferred stock issued to the U.S. Treasury will be non-voting (except in the case of class votes), senior perpetual preferred stock that ranks senior to common stock and pari passu with existing preferred stock (except junior preferred stock);

 

 

 

 

·

In addition to the preferred stock, the U.S. Treasury will be issued warrants to acquire shares of the QFI’s common stock equal in value to 15 percent of the amount of capital purchased by the QFI;

 

 

 

 

·

Dividends are payable to the U.S. Treasury at the rate of 5% per annum for the first 5 years and 9% per annum thereafter;

 

 

 

 

·

Subject to certain exceptions and other requirements, no redemption of the preferred stock is permitted during the first 3 years;

 

 

 

 

·

Certain restrictions on the payment of dividends to shareholders of the QFI shall remain in effect while the preferred stock purchased by the U.S. Treasury is outstanding;

 

 

 

 

·

Repurchase of the QFI’s stock requires consent of the U.S. Treasury, subject to certain exceptions;

 

 

 

 

·

The preferred shares are not subject to any contractual restrictions on transfer by the U.S. Treasury; and

 

 

 

 

·

The QFI must agree to be bound by certain executive compensation and corporate governance requirements and senior executive officers must agree to certain compensation restrictions.

          Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program. Among other programs and actions taken by the U.S. Treasury and other regulatory agencies, the FDIC implemented the Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program (the “TLGP”) to strengthen confidence and encourage liquidity in the financial system. The TLGP is comprised of the Debt Guarantee Program (the “DGP”) and the Transaction Account Guarantee Program (the “TAGP”). The Bank did not participate in the DGP Program. The DGP guarantees all newly issued senior unsecured debt (e.g., promissory notes, unsubordinated unsecured notes and commercial paper) up to prescribed limits issued by participating entities beginning on October 14, 2008 and continuing through October 31, 2009. For eligible debt issued by that date, the FDIC will provide the guarantee coverage until the earlier of the maturity date of the debt or June 30, 2012. The TAGP offers full guarantee for noninterest-bearing transaction accounts held at FDIC-insured depository institutions. The unlimited deposit coverage was voluntary for eligible institutions and was in addition to the $250,000 FDIC deposit insurance per account that was included as part of the EESA. The insured deposit limits are currently scheduled to return to $100,000 on January 1, 2010, except for certain retirement accounts. The TAGP coverage became effective on October 14, 2008 and is scheduled to continue for participating institutions until December 31, 2009. The Bank has elected to participate in the TAGP.

22


Initially, the TLGP programs, the DGP and TAGP, were provided at no cost for the first 30 days. On November 3, 2008, the FDIC extended the opt-out period to December 5, 2008 to provide eligible institutions additional time to consider the terms before making a final decision regarding participation in the program. Participants in the DGP are charged an annualized fee ranging from 50 basis points to 100 basis points (depending on the maturity of the debt issued) multiplied by the amount of debt issued, and calculated for the maturity period of that debt, or through June 30, 2012, whichever is earlier. As of December 31, 2008, the Bank has no senior unsecured debt outstanding. The Company has not determined whether to issue qualifying senior debt securities under the DGP as part of its liquidity planning for 2009 or thereafter. In addition to the existing risk-based deposit insurance premium paid on such deposits, TAGP participants will be assessed, on a quarterly basis, an annualized 10 basis points fee on balances in noninterest-bearing transaction accounts that exceed the existing deposit insurance limit of $250,000.

          Financial Stability Plan. On February 10, 2009, the U.S. Treasury announced a Financial Stability Plan (the “FSP”) as a comprehensive approach to strengthening the financial system and credit crisis. The Plan includes a Capital Assistance Program (the “CAP”) that is intended to serve as a bridge to raising private capital and to ensure sufficient capital to preserve or increase lending in a worse-than-expected economic deterioration. Eligibility to participate in the CAP will be consistent with the criteria for QFI’s under the CPP. Eligible institutions with consolidated assets in excess of $100 billion will be able to obtain capital under the CAP, subject to a supervisory review process and comprehensive stress test assessment of the losses that could occur over a two year period in the future across a range of economic scenarios, including conditions more severe than anticipated or as typically used in capital planning processes. Eligible institutions with consolidated assets below $100 billion will be able to obtain capital under the CAP after a supervisory review. As announced, the CAP includes issuance of a convertible preferred security to the U.S. Treasury at a discount to the participating institution’s stock price as of February 9, 2009, subject to a dividend to be determined. The security instrument will be designed to incentivize institutions to replace the CAP capital with private capital or redeem it. Institutions participating in the CPP under TARP may also be permitted to exchange their CPP preferred stock for the convertible preferred CAP security. Among the other elements of the FSP, is a temporary extension by the FDIC of the TLGP for enhancing financial institution liquidity to October 31, 2009. On February 25, 2009, the FDIC and other regulatory agencies jointly announced the commencement of the stress test assessment with the intention to complete the process of assessment not later than April 2009.

          Term Asset-Backed Securities Loan Facility. On March 3, 2009, the U.S. Treasury and the Board of Governors announced the Term Asset-Backed Securities Loan Facility (the “TALF”). The TALF is one of the programs under the Financial Stability Plan announced by the U.S. Treasury on February 10, 2009. The TALF is intended to help stimulate the economy by facilitating securitization activities which allow lenders to increase the availability of credit to consumers and businesses. Under the TALF, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (“FRBNY”) will lend up to $200 billion to provide financing to investors as support for purchases of certain AAA-rated asset-backed securities (“ABS”) initially for newly and recently originated auto loans, credit card loans, student loans, and SBA-guaranteed small business loans anticipated to be funded on March 25, 2009, and rental, commercial, and government vehicle fleet leases, small ticket equipment, heavy equipment, and agricultural equipment loans and leases proposed to be funded in April.

23


ABS fundings will be held monthly beginning on March 25, 2009 through December 2009, or longer if the TALF is extended. The loan asset classes may be expanded in the future to include commercial mortgages, non-Agency residential mortgages, and/or other asset classes. Credit extensions under the TALF will be non-recourse loans to eligible borrowers secured by eligible collateral for a three-year term with interest paid monthly. Any U.S. company that owns eligible collateral may borrow from the TALF, provided the company maintains an account with a primary dealer who will act as agent for the borrower and deliver eligible collateral to the FRBNY custodian in connection with the loan funding. The FRBYN will create a special purpose vehicle (“SPV”) to purchase and manage any assets received by the FRBYN in connection with the TALF loans.

The U.S. Treasury will provide $20 billion of credit protection to the FRBNY in connection with the TALF through the Troubled Assets Relief Program (the “TARP”) by purchasing subordinated debt issued by the SPV to finance the first $20 billion of asset purchases. If more than $20 billion in assets are purchased by the SPV, the FRBNY will lend additional funds to the SPV to finance such additional purchases. The FRBNY’s loan to the SPV will be senior to the TARP subordinated loan and secured by all of the assets of the SPV.

Future Legislation and Regulations

          Certain legislative and regulatory proposals that could affect FNB Bancorp, First National Bank, and the banking business in general are periodically introduced before the United States Congress, the California State Legislature and Federal and state government agencies. It is not known to what extent, if any, legislative proposals will be enacted and what effect such legislation would have on the structure, regulation and competitive relationships of financial institutions. It is likely, however, that such legislation could subject FNB Bancorp and First National Bank to increased regulation, disclosure and reporting requirements, competition, and costs of doing business.

          In addition to legislative changes, the various Federal and state financial institution regulatory agencies frequently propose rules and regulations to implement and enforce already existing legislation. It cannot be predicted whether or in what form any such rules or regulations will be enacted or the effect that such regulations may have on the Company and First National Bank.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

          In addition to the risks associated with the business of banking generally, as described above under Item 1 (Description of Business), the Company’s business, financial condition, operating results, future prospects and stock price can be adversely impacted by certain risk factors, as set forth below, any of which could cause the Company’s actual results to vary materially from recent results or from the Company’s anticipated future results.

24


Extensive Regulation of Banking. The Company’s operations are subject to extensive regulation by Federal, state and local governmental authorities and are subject to various laws and judicial and administrative decisions imposing requirements and restrictions on part or all of its operations. The Company believes that it is in substantial compliance in all material respects with laws, rules and regulations applicable to the conduct of its business. Because the Company’s business is highly regulated, the laws, rules and regulations applicable to it are subject to regular modification and change. There can be no assurance that these laws, rules and regulations, or any other laws, rules or regulations, will not be adopted in the future, which could make compliance much more difficult or expensive, restrict the Company’s ability to originate, broker or sell loans, further limit or restrict the amount of commissions, interest or other charges earned on loans originated or sold by the Company, or otherwise adversely affect the Company’s results of operations, financial condition, or future prospects.

Governmental Fiscal and Monetary Policies. The business of banking is affected significantly by the fiscal and monetary policies of the federal government and its agencies. Such policies are beyond the control of the Company. The Company is particularly affected by the policies established by the Board of Governors in relation to the supply of money and credit in the United States, and the target federal funds rate. The instruments of monetary policy available to the Board of Governors can be used in varying degrees and combinations to directly affect the availability of bank loans and deposits, as well as the interest rates charged on loans and paid on deposits, and this can and does have a material effect on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition. Federal monetary policy may also affect the longer-term inflation rate which directly affects the national and local economy.

The Effects of Legislation in Response to Current Credit Conditions. Legislation passed at the federal level and/or by the State of California in response to current conditions affecting credit markets could cause the Company to experience higher credit losses if such legislation reduces the amount that borrowers are otherwise contractually required to pay under existing loan contracts with First National Bank. Such legislation could also result in the imposition of limitations upon First National Bank’s ability to foreclose on property or other collateral or make foreclosure less economically feasible. Such events could result in increased loan losses and require a material increase in the allowance for loan losses and thereby adversely affect the Company’s results of operations, financial condition, future prospects, profitability and stock price.

Geographic Concentration. All of the business of the Company is located in the State of California and the banking offices of the Company are located in the Northern California Counties of San Mateo and San Francisco. The Company and the Bank conduct business primarily in the San Francisco Bay area. As a result, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows are subject to changes in the economic conditions in this area. Our success depends upon the business activity, population, income levels, deposits and real estate activity in these markets, and adverse economic conditions could reduce our growth rate, or affect the ability of our customers to repay their loans, and generally impact our financial condition and results of operations. Economic conditions in the State of California are subject to various uncertainties at this time, including the budgetary and fiscal difficulties facing the State Government. The Company can provide no assurance that conditions in the California economy will not deteriorate further or that such deterioration will not adversely affect the Company.

25


Competition. Increased competition in the market of First National Bank of Northern California (the “Bank”) may result in reduced loans and deposits. Ultimately, the Bank may not be able to compete successfully against current and future bank and non bank competitors. Many competitors offer the banking services that are offered by the Bank in its service area. These competitors include national and super-regional banks, finance companies, investment banking and brokerage firms, credit unions, government-assisted farm credit programs, other community banks and technology-oriented financial institutions offering online services. In particular, the Bank’s competitors include several major financial companies whose greater resources may afford them a marketplace advantage by enabling them to maintain numerous banking locations and mount extensive promotional and advertising campaigns. Additionally, banks and other financial institutions with larger capitalization and financial intermediaries not subject to bank regulatory restrictions have larger lending limits and are thereby able to serve the credit needs of larger customers. Areas of competition include interest rates for loans and deposits, efforts to obtain deposits, and range and quality of products and services provided, including new technology-driven products and services. Technological innovation continues to contribute to greater competition in domestic and international financial services markets as technological advances, such as Internet-based banking services that cross traditional geographic bounds, enable more companies to provide financial services. If First National Bank is unable to attract and retain banking customers, it may be unable to continue its loan growth and level of deposits, which may adversely affect its and the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and future prospects.

The Effects of Changes to FDIC Insurance Coverage Limits and Assessments. These changes are uncertain and increased premiums may adversely affect the Company. The FDIC charges insured financial institutions premiums to maintain the Deposit Insurance Fund. Current economic conditions have increased expectations for bank failures. In such event, the FDIC would take control of failed banks and guarantee payment of deposits up to applicable insured limits from the Deposit Insurance Fund. Insurance premium assessments to insured financial institutions may increase as necessary to maintain adequate funding of the Deposit Insurance Fund.

The Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 included a provision for an increase in the amount of deposits insured by the FDIC to $250,000. On October 24, 2008, the FDIC announced the Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program that provides unlimited deposit insurance on funds in noninterest-bearing transaction deposit accounts not otherwise covered by the existing deposit insurance limit of $250,000. All eligible institutions will be covered under the program for the first 30 days without incurring any costs. After the initial period, participating institutions will be assessed a 10 basis point surcharge on the additional insured deposits through the scheduled end of the program, currently December 31, 2009. Increased premiums will impact the Company’s earnings.

It is not clear how depositors may respond regarding the increase in insurance coverage. Despite the increase, some depositors may reduce the amount of deposits held at First National Bank if concerns regarding bank failures persist, which could affect the level and composition of the Bank’s deposit portfolio and thereby directly impact the Bank’s funding costs and net interest margin. First National Bank’s funding costs may also be adversely affected in the event that activities of the Federal Reserve Board and the U.S. Treasury to provide liquidity for the banking system and improvement in capital markets are curtailed or are unsuccessful. Such events could reduce liquidity in the markets, thereby increasing funding costs to First National Bank or reducing the availability of funds to First National Bank to finance its existing operations and thereby adversely affect the Company’s results of operations, financial condition, future prospects, profitability and stock price.

26


Dependence on Key Officers and Employees. We are dependent on the successful recruitment and retention of highly qualified personnel. Our ability to implement our business strategies is closely tied to the strengths of our executive officers who have extensive experience in the banking industry but who are not easily replaced. In addition, business banking, one of the Company’s principal lines of business, is dependent on relationship banking, in which First National Bank personnel develop professional relationships with small business owners and officers of larger business customers who are responsible for the financial management of the companies they represent. If these employees were to leave First National Bank and become employed by a local competing bank, we could potentially lose business customers. In addition, we rely on our customer service staff to effectively serve the needs of our consumer customers. We actively recruit for all open positions and management believes that its relations with employees are good.

Growth strategy. We have pursued and continue to pursue a growth strategy which depends primarily on generating an increasing level of loans and deposits at acceptable risk levels. We may not be able to sustain this growth strategy without establishing new branches or new products. Therefore, we may expand in our current market by opening or acquiring branch offices or other financial institutions or branch offices. This expansion may require significant investments in equipment, technology, personnel and site locations. The Company and the Bank may also attempt to grow through mergers and acquisitions. There can be no assurance that a successful merger or acquisition can be successfully completed. We cannot assure you of our success in implementing our growth strategy either through expansion of our existing branch system or through mergers and acquisitions, and there may be significant increases in our noninterest expenses, without any corresponding balance sheet growth.

Commercial loans. As of December 31, 2008, approximately 16.5% of our loan portfolio consisted of commercial business loans, which have a higher degree of risk than other types of loans. Commercial lending is dependent on borrowers making payments on their loans and lines of credit in accordance with the terms of their notes. Our current economic recession has made it difficult for many commercial borrowers to make their required loan payments. This credit risk is increased when there is a concentration of principal in a limited number of loans and borrowers, the mobility of collateral, the effect of general economic conditions and the increased difficulty of evaluating and monitoring these types of loans. The availability of funds for the repayment of commercial business loans may be substantially dependent on the success of the business itself and the general economic environment. If the cash flow from business operations is reduced, the borrower’s ability to repay the loan may be impaired. In addition, unlike residential mortgage loans, which generally are made on the basis of the borrower’s ability to make repayment from his or her employment and other income and which are secured by real property whose value tends to be more easily ascertainable, commercial business loans typically are made on the basis of the borrower’s ability to make repayment from the cash flow of the borrower’s business. If the Bank is required to repossess equipment or pursue collection efforts under personal guarantees, there could be a substantial decrease in value of collateral, if any, increased legal costs, and an increased risk of loss on the amount outstanding.

27


Real Estate Values. A large portion of the loan portfolio of the Company is dependent on the performance of our real estate portfolio. At December 31, 2008, real estate (including construction loans) served as the principal source of collateral with respect to approximately 82.9% of the Company’s loan portfolio. The current substantial decline in the economy in general, coupled with a continued decline in real estate values in the Company’s primary operating market areas could have an adverse effect on the demand for new loans, the ability of borrowers to repay outstanding loans, and the value of real estate and other collateral securing loans. Real estate values have declined, due in part to reduced construction lending, tighter underwriting requirements, and reduced borrower ability to make payments. Real estate loans may pose collection problems, resulting in increased collection expenses, and delays in the ultimate collection of these loans. In addition, acts of nature, including fires, earthquakes and floods, which may cause uninsured damage and other loss of value to real estate that secures these loans, may also negatively impact the Company’s financial condition.

Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses. The Company maintains an allowance for loan losses to provide for loan defaults and non-performance, but its allowance for loan losses may not be adequate to cover actual loan and lease losses. In addition, future provisions for loan and lease losses could materially and adversely affect the Company and therefore the Company’s operating results. The Company’s allowance for loan and lease losses is based on prior experience, as well as an evaluation of the risks in the current portfolio. The amount of future losses is susceptible to changes in economic, operating and other conditions, including changes in interest rates that may be beyond the Company’s control, and these losses may exceed current estimates. Federal regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, review the Company’s loans and allowance for loan and lease losses. Although we believe that the Company’s allowance for loan and lease losses is adequate to cover current losses, we cannot assure you that it will not further increase the allowance for loan and lease losses or that the regulators will not require it to increase this allowance. Either of these occurrences could materially and adversely affect the Company’s earnings.

Environmental Liabilities. In the course of our business, we may foreclose and take title to real estate, and could be subject to environmental liabilities with respect to these properties. We may be held liable to a governmental entity or third parties for property damage, personal injury, investigation and clean-up costs incurred by these parties in connection with environmental contamination, or may be required to investigate or clean up hazardous or toxic substances, or chemical releases at a property. The costs associated with investigations or remediation activities could be substantial. In addition, as the owner or former owner of a contaminated site, we could become subject to common law claims by third parties based on damages and costs resulting from environmental contamination emanating from the property. If we ever become subject to significant environmental liabilities, our business prospects, financial condition, liquidity, results of operations and stock price could be materially and adversely affected.

Dilution of Common Stock. Shares of the Company’s common stock eligible for future sale could have a dilutive effect on the market for common stock and could adversely affect the market price.

The Articles of Incorporation of the Company authorize the issuance of 10,000,000 shares of common stock, of which 3,030,000 were outstanding at December 31, 2008. Pursuant to its 1997, 2002 and 2008 Stock Option Plans, at December 31, 2008, the Company had outstanding options to purchase 347,792 shares of common stock. As of December 31, 2008, 337,386 shares of common stock remained available for grants under the 2008 Stock Option Plan as well as an additional 27,866 shares under the 2002 Stock Option Plan. The issuance of substantial amounts of the Company’s newly issued common stock in the public market could adversely affect the market price of the Company’s common stock. The market for the Company’s common stock is limited. The ability to raise funds in the future through a stock offering could be difficult.

28


Operating Losses. The Company is subject to certain operations risks, including, but not limited to, data processing system failures and errors and customer or employee fraud. The Company maintains a system of internal controls to mitigate against such occurrences and maintains insurance coverage for such risks, but should such an event occur that is not prevented or detected by the Company’s internal controls, uninsured or in excess of applicable insurance limits, it could have a significant adverse impact on the Company’s business, financial condition or results of operations. Additionally, the Company is dependent on network and computer systems. If these systems and their back-up systems were to fail or were breached, the Company could be adversely affected.

Business Confidence Uncertainty. Terrorist activities in the future and the actions taken by the United States and its allies in combating terrorism on a worldwide basis could adversely impact the Company and the extent of such impact is uncertain. Even more so, the problems in the mortgage and credit markets, the government conservatorship of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the failure of investment firms such as of Bear, Stearns, and Lehman Brothers, as well as large write-offs at some major financial institutions have had a ripple effect on the entire financial services industry, and may continue to do so for some time. Such events have had and may continue to have an adverse effect on the economy in the Company’s market areas. Such continued economic deterioration could adversely affect the Company’s future results of operations by, among other matters, reducing the demand for loans and the amounts required to be reserved for loan losses, reducing the value of collateral held as security for the Company’s loans, and causing a decline in the Company’s stock price.

Restrictions in Purchase Agreement with U.S. Treasury. The Purchase Agreement between the Company and the U.S. Treasury dated February 27, 2009, pursuant to which the Company sold $12 million of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock and issued 600 share of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock (upon exercise of the Warrant issued to the U.S. Treasury), provides that prior to the earlier of (1) February 27, 2012 and (2) the date on which all of the shares of the U.S. Treasury Preferred Stock have been redeemed by the Company or transferred by the U.S. Treasury to third parties, the Company may not, without the consent of the Treasury, (a) declare or pay any dividend or make any distribution on capital stock or other equity securities of any kind of the Company other than (i) regular quarterly cash dividends of not more than the amount of the last quarterly cash dividend per share declared, or (ii) dividends payable solely in shares of common stock, or (b) subject to limited exceptions, redeem, repurchase or otherwise acquire shares of the Company’s common stock or preferred stock other than the U.S. Treasury Preferred Stock. In addition, the Company is unable to pay any dividends on the Company’s common stock unless the Company is current in the Company’s dividend payments on the U.S. Treasury Preferred Stock. These restrictions could have a negative effect on the value of the Company’s common stock. Dividends paid by the Company on the shares of U.S. Treasury Preferred Stock will reduce the net income available to the holders of Company common stock and the Company’s earnings per common share. The holders of the Company’s common stock are entitled to receive dividends only when, as and if declared by the Company’s Board of Directors. Although the Company has historically paid stock and cash dividends on the Company’s common stock, the Company is not required to do so and the Company’s Board of Directors could reduce or eliminate these common stock dividends in the future, depending on the circumstances. The U.S. Treasury Preferred Stock will also receive preferential treatment in the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company.

29


Restrictions on Executive Compensation. Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company adopted certain standards for executive compensation and corporate governance. These standards generally apply to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer and the three next most highly compensated senior executive officers. The standards (1) ensure that incentive compensation for senior executives does not encourage unnecessary and excessive risks that threaten the value of the financial institution; (2) require “clawback” of any bonus or incentive compensation paid to a senior executive based on statements of earnings, gains or other criteria that are later proven to be materially inaccurate; (3) prohibit making golden parachute payments to senior executives; and (4) confirm agreement not to deduct for tax purposes executive compensation in excess of $500,000 for each senior executive. Pursuant to the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, further compensation restrictions, including significant limitations on incentive compensation and “golden parachute” payments, have been imposed on the Company’s most highly compensated employees, which could, in the future, make it more difficult for the Company to retain and recruit qualified personnel.

Federal Home Loan Bank Risk. The failure of the Federal Reserve Bank (“FHLB”) of San Francisco or the national Federal Home Loan Bank System may have a material negative impact on our earnings and liquidity.

Recently, the FHLB of San Francisco announced that it was suspending dividend payments and suspending capital repurchases due to the deterioration in the market value of their mortgage-backed securities portfolio. While the FHLB of San Francisco has announced it does not anticipate that additional capital is immediately necessary, nor does it believe that its capital level is inadequate to support realized losses in the future, the FHLB of San Francisco could require its members, including the Bank, to contribute additional capital in order to return the FHLB of San Francisco to compliance with capital guidelines.

At December 31, 2008, we held $4.4 million of common stock in the FHLB of San Francisco. Should the FHLB of San Francisco fail, we anticipate that our investment in the FHLB’s common stock would be “other than temporarily” impaired and may have no value.

At December 31, 2008, we maintained a line of credit with the FHLB of San Francisco equal to 30% of total assets to the extent the Bank provides qualifying collateral and holds sufficient FHLB stock. At December 31, 2008, we were in compliance with collateral requirements. We are highly dependent on the FHLB of San Francisco to provide the primary source of wholesale funding for immediate liquidity and borrowing needs. The failure of the FHLB of San Francisco or the FHLB System in general, may materially impair our ability to meet our growth plans or to meet short and long term liquidity demands.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OF FNB BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY

Critical Accounting Policies And Estimates

          Management’s discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations are based upon the Company’s financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to its loans and allowance for loan losses. The Company bases its estimates on current market conditions, historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. All adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation for the periods presented have been reflected as required by Regulation S-X, Rule 10-01. The Company believes the following critical accounting policy requires significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.

          Allowance for Loan Losses

          The allowance for loan losses is periodically evaluated for adequacy by management. Factors considered include the Company’s loan loss experience, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, current economic conditions, known adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, regulatory policies, and the estimated value of underlying collateral. The evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance is based on the above factors along with prevailing and anticipated economic conditions that may impact borrowers’ ability to repay loans. Determination of the allowance is part objective and part a subjective judgment by management given the information it currently has in its possession. Adverse changes in any of these factors or the discovery of new adverse information could result in higher charge-offs and loan loss provisions.

          Goodwill

          Goodwill arises from the Company’s purchase price exceeding the fair value of the net assets of an acquired business. Goodwill represents the value attributable to intangible elements acquired. The value of goodwill is supported ultimately by profit from the acquired business. A decline in earnings could lead to impairment, which would be recorded as a write-down in the Company’s consolidated statements of income. Events that may indicate goodwill impairment include significant or adverse changes in results of operations of the acquired business or asset, economic or political climate; an adverse action or assessment by a regulator; unanticipated competition; and a more-likely-than-not expectation that a reporting unit will be sold or disposed of at a loss.

36


          Other Than Temporary Impairment

          The decline in the fair value of any security in the Company’s investment portfolio that is considered other than temporarily impaired is written down with a charge to noninterest income in the period in which the impairment occurs in an amount that equals the book value less the fair value of the security. There are many factors that are considered before an other than temporary impairment is recorded. These factors include the length of time and the extent to which market value has been less than cost, reasons for decline in market price – whether an industry issue or issuer specific, changes in the general market condition of the area or issuer’s industry, the issuer’s financial condition, capital strength, ability to make timely future payments and any changes in agencies ratings that drop the security’s rating below investment grade and any potential legal actions.

          Provision for Income Taxes

          The Company is subject to income tax laws of the United States, its states, and municipalities in which it operates. The Company considers its income tax provision methodology to be critical, as the determination of current and deferred taxes based on complex analyses of many factors including interpretation of federal and state laws, the difference between tax and financial reporting bases of assets and liabilities (temporary differences), estimates of amounts due or owed, the timing of reversals of temporary differences and current financial standards. Actual results could differ significantly from the estimates due to tax law interpretations used in determining the current and deferred income tax liabilities. Additionally, there can be no assurances that estimates and interpretations used in determining income tax liabilities may not be challenged by federal and state taxing authorities.

          Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) announced that it had revised Statement 141, Business Combinations, with 141(R). The revised Statement No. 141 was written to improve the relevance, representational faithfulness and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial reports about a business combination and its effects. This Statement establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer:

 

 

 

 

a.

Recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree

 

 

 

 

b.

Recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase

 

 

 

 

c.

Determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination

This Statement applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Company does not expect this Standard to have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

37


          In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Financial Statements – an amendment of ARB No. 51.” Statement No. 160 clarifies reporting and disclosure requirements related to noncontrolling interest included in an entity’s consolidated financial statements. This Statement clarifies that noncontrolling interests are to be reported in the noncontrolling section of the balance sheet and requires net income to include amounts from both the parent and the noncontrolling interest. This Statement also requires the parent company to recognize a gain or loss in net income when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. This Statement is effective for fiscal years (and interim periods within those years), beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Company will apply this Statement prospectively and does not expect the Statement to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

          In March, 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement No. 161 “Disclosures About Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities – an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133.” Statement No. 161 changes the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. This statement is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company does not expect this Standard to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In May, 2008 the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement No. 162 “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” This new standard is intended to improve financial reporting by identifying a consistent framework, or hierarchy, for selecting accounting principles to be used in preparing financial statements that are presented in conformity with U. S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for nongovernmental entities. This Statement becomes effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The Company does not expect this Standard to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Earnings Analysis

          Net earnings in 2008 were $3,963,000, a $2,716,000 or a 40.7% decrease from 2007 earnings of $6,679,000. Earnings for the year 2007 decreased $903,000 or 11.9% from year 2006 earnings of $7,582,000. The principal source of earnings is interest income on loans. The Federal Open Market Committee made a series of significant reductions in the intended federal funds rate in 2008, with a 4.25% rate on January 1, 2008, ending with a target rate of 0% to 0.25% on December 16, 2008.

          Basic earnings per share were $1.29 in 2008, $2.13 in 2007 and $2.42 in 2006. Diluted earnings per share were $1.28 in 2008; $2.10 in 2007; and $2.37 in 2006.

38


          Net interest income for 2008 was $27,920,000, a decrease of $713,000 or 2.5% from 2007. In 2007 it was $28,633,000, an increase of $1,258,000 or 4.6% from 2006. Interest income was $39,531,000 in 2008, a decrease of $2,759,000 or 6.5% from 2007. Interest income was $42,290,000 in 2007, an increase of $5,094,000 or 13.7% over 2006. The decrease in net interest income was caused by a decrease in the interest rate on earning assets which exceed the decrease in the interest rate on interest bearing liabilities, reflecting the actions of the Federal Open Market Committee, mentioned above. Most of the interest earning assets are tied to the prime lending rate, which adjusts immediately, whereas most of the interest-bearing liabilities adjust on a lagged basis, particularly in the case of time deposits, which change only at maturity. An increase in the volume of loans in nonaccrual status of $2,637,000 during 2008 also contributed to the decline. Average interest earnings assets in 2008 were $598,399,000, an increase of $31,154,000 or 5.5% over 2007. Average interest earning assets in 2007 were $567,245,000, an increase of $46,315,000 or 8.9% over 2006. The yield on interest earning assets decreased 79 basis points in 2008 compared to 2007. The yield on interest earning assets increased 32 basis points in 2007 compared to 2006. The principal earning assets were loans, and average loans outstanding increased $30,100,000 in 2008 versus 2007, and $80,269,000 in 2007 versus 2006, while their yield decreased 100 basis points in 2008 versus 2007, and decreased 10 basis points in 2007 versus 2006.

          Interest expense for 2008 was $11,507,000 compared to $13,657,000 for 2007, a decrease of $2,150,000 or 15.7%. It increased by $3,836,000 in 2007 over 2006, or 39.1%. The decrease in interest expense during 2008 and 2007 was caused by rate decreases on deposits, as rates followed the declines in prevailing short term market interest rates. The Federal Open Market Committee intended federal funds rate was 4.25% on December 31, 2007. By December 31, 2008, that rate had been reduced to a target of 0% to 0.25%. No new branches or significant product lines were added during 2008. Average interest bearing liabilities were $463,546,000 in 2008, $426,354,000 in 2007 and $386,254,000 in 2006. This represented an increase of $37,192,000 in 2008 over 2007, or 8.7%, and an increase of $40,100,000 or 10.4% in 2007 compared to 2006. The cost of these liabilities decreased 72 basis points in 2008 compared to 2007, and increased 66 basis points in 2007 compared to 2006. The principal cost was in time deposits, which decreased 113 basis points in 2008 compared to 2007, and increased 78 basis points in 2007 compared to 2006.

          Net Interest Income

          Net interest income is the difference between interest yield generated by earning assets and the interest expense associated with the funding of those assets. Net interest income is affected by the interest rate earned or paid and by volume changes in loans, investment securities, deposits and borrowed funds.

(1) Interest on non-accrual loans is recognized into income on a cash received basis.

(2) Amounts of interest earned included loan fees of $1,425,000, $1,593,000 and $1,445,000 for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

(3) Tax equivalent adjustments recorded at the statutory rate of 34% that are included in the nontaxable securities portfolio are $481,000, $608,000 and $625,000 for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and were derived from nontaxable municipal interest income. Tax equivalent adjustments recorded at the statutory rate of 34% that are included in taxable securities portfolio were created by a dividends received deduction of $5,000, $0 and $19,000 in the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

(4) Net interest margin is computed by dividing net interest income by total average interest earning assets.

The following table analyzes the dollar amount of change in interest income and expense and the changes in dollar amounts attributable to (a) changes in volume (changes in volume at the current year rate), (b) changes in rate (changes in rate times the prior year’s volume) and (c) changes in rate/volume (changes in rate times changes in volume). In this table, the dollar change in rate/volume is prorated to volume and rate proportionately.

          In 2008, net interest income represented 84.70% of net revenue (net interest income plus noninterest income) compared to 86.94% in 2007 and 81.39% in 2006. The net interest margin on average earning assets was 4.75% in 2008 compared to 5.05% in 2007 and 5.26% in 2006. The average rate earned on interest earning assets was 6.67% in 2008, up from 7.46% in 2007, and 7.14% in 2006. The average cost for interest-bearing liabilities was 2.48% in 2008 compared to 3.20% in 2007 and 2.54% in 2006.

          As mentioned above under the heading “Earnings Analysis”, there were increases in the prime lending rate during 2006, followed by decreases from 8.25% at the end of 2006 to 7.25% at the end of 2007, and 3.25% at the end of 2008, as a result of action by the Federal Open Market Committee of the Federal Reserve, which affected interest-bearing assets and interest-bearing liabilities.

          Yield on average loans was 7.14% in 2008, 8.14% in 2007 and 8.24% in 2006. Interest on average taxable securities was 4.22% in 2008, 5.05% in 2007, and 4.13% in 2006. Interest on average nontaxable securities was 4.77% in 2008, 3.63% in 2007 and 3.54% in 2006. Interest on average federal funds sold was 2.24% in 2008, 5.18% in 2007 and 4.94% in 2006. Interest on average total interest earning assets was 6.67% in 2008, 7.46% in 2007 and 7.14% in 2006. On the expense side, interest on average interest bearing demand deposits was 0.55% in 2008, 0.70% in 2007 and 0.54% in 2006. Interest on average money market accounts was 2.32% in 2008, 3.41% in 2007 and 2.86% in 2006. Interest on average savings accounts was 0.27% in 2008, 0.51% in 2007 and 0.49% in 2006. Interest on average time deposits was 3.28% in 2008, 4.41% in 2007 and 3.63% in 2006. Interest on average Federal Home Loan Bank advances was 4.18% in 2008, 5.24% in 2007 and 5.55% in 2006. Interest on federal funds purchased was 3.58% in 2008, 5.08% in 2007 and 5.77% in 2006. Interest on average total interest bearing liabilities was 2.48% in 2008, 3.20% in 2007 and 2.54% in 2006.

          Allowance For Loan Losses

          The Bank has the responsibility of assessing the overall risks in its loan portfolio, assessing the specific loss expectancy, and determining the adequacy of the loan loss reserve. The level of reserves is determined by internally generating credit quality ratings, reviewing economic conditions in the Bank’s market area, and considering the Bank’s historical loan loss experience. The Bank is committed to maintaining adequate reserves, identifying credit weaknesses by consistent review of loans, and maintaining the risk ratings and changing those risk ratings in a timely manner as circumstances change.

          During 2006, the Bank transferred a portion of the allowance for loan losses to establish a reserve for unfunded loan commitments in a separate account in Other Liabilities. The Allowance for Loan Losses in Table 3 has been reclassified for prior years to agree with the current year presentation.

42


          Real estate loans outstanding increased by $961,000 in 2008 compared to 2007. They increased by $33,395,000 in 2007 compared to 2006. The proportion of the Allowance for Loan Losses attributable to real estate loans was $4,712,000 in 2008 compared to $3,669,000 in 2007, and $3,864,000 in 2006. Real estate loans in 2008 remained nearly the same as in 2007, reflecting tighter underwriting standards that were imposed during 2008 coupled with the fact that there were fewer loans available that met those standards. We priced our loans competitively, but did not discount our loans in order to attract new business. The real estate loan growth in 2007 and 2006 was primarily the result of increased market penetration within our existing market area. The perceived risk in the Real Estate loan portfolio had decreased slightly in 2006 and 2007. The reserve allocated to these loans was increased in 2008, to mitigate the risk involved in the current markets. We experienced increased loan charge-offs and non accrual loans during 2008. The credit quality of our underlying collateral also deteriorated during 2008, necessitating an increased provision for loan losses.

          The allowance for loan losses totaled $7,075,000, $5,638,000 and $5,002,000 at December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006, respectively. This represented 1.40%, 1.14% and 1.18% of total loans outstanding on those dates. These balances reflect amounts that, in management’s judgment, are adequate to provide for probable loan losses based on the considerations listed above. During 2008, the provision for loan losses was $3,045,000, and the charge-offs were $1,788,000. During 2007, the provision for loan losses was $690,000, and the charge-offs were $80,000. In 2006, the provision for loan losses was $683,000, while charge-offs were $59,000.

The increase in charge-offs during 2008 is primarily related to problems related to specific borrowers rather than problems with a specific segment of the loan portfolio. In particular, borrowers who had exposure to real estate projects outside of San Mateo and San Francisco counties were identified as having a relatively higher risk profile than those operating solely in these two counties. If real estate values continue to decline in the future, an increase in our allowance for loan losses may be warranted.

44


Non-performing Assets.

          Non-performing assets consist of nonaccrual loans, foreclosed assets, and loans that are 90 days or more past due but are still accruing interest. The accrual of interest on non-accrual loans is discontinued when, in management’s opinion, the borrower may be unable to meet payments as they become due. For the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, had non-accrual loans performed as agreed, approximately $692,000, $547,000, and $70,000, respectively, would have accrued in additional interest.

          Table 5 provides a summary of contractually past due loans for the most recent five years. Nonperforming loans were 1.8% of total loans at December 31, 2008 compared to 2.4% of total loans at December 31, 2007. Nonperforming loans were 2.4% of total loans at December 31, 2007 compared to 0.6% of total loans at December 31, 2006. Management believes the current list of past due loans are collectible and does not anticipate significant losses. Nonperforming loans at December 31, 2008 include five Real Estate loans compared to four Real Estate loans at December 31, 2007. The one nonperforming Real Estate loan at the end of 2006 has since paid off.

There was no commitment to lend additional funds to any customer whose loan was classified as nonperforming at December 31, 2008, 2007 or 2006.

Nonaccrual loans at December 31, 2008 consist of several single family residence loans and commercial loans as well as some commercial real estate loans. The Bank is working with our borrowers to develop strategies that can give the borrowers time to work through their financial difficulties. The other real estate owned consists of two single family residences and a land development parcel. The Bank is actively marketing these properties. However, given current market conditions, there can be no assurance that these properties can be sold in the near future.

Total noninterest income consists mainly of service charges on deposits. The increase in service charges on deposits in 2008 over 2007 is primarily attributable to an increase in non-sufficient-funds fees and ATM surcharge fees. The increased non-sufficient-funds fees are the result of increased liquidity problems that some of our deposit customers are facing, stemming from the current economic downturn. The increase in ATM surcharge fees is a function of increased demand for cash from our ATM machines by those who do not have a deposit relationship with the Bank. Noninterest income in 2008 included proceeds from a life insurance contract related to death benefits received from a policy that was placed on the life of an executive who is no longer working at the Bank. Noninterest income in 2006 included a gain on sale of other equity securities of $1,352,000 related to the sale of Pacific Coast Banker’s Bank stock and a gain of $756,000 on sale of other real estate owned in 2006. The principal source of Other Income was policy dividends on Officers’ Life Insurance, which was $404,000, $364,000, and $304,000 in the years 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively, which reflected an increased investment in these policies.

          Total noninterest expenses for the year ended December 31, 2008 were $25,344,000 compared to $23,182,000 and $21,760,000 for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006. Salaries and employee benefits were $14,335,000 in 2008, $12,778,000 in 2007, and $12,300,000 in 2006. Salaries and employee benefits represent over 50% of noninterest expense. They increased by 12.2% in 2008 over 2007 and 3.9% in 2007 over 2006. During the third quarter of 2008, a Call Center was established; there were also support staff increases in the loan area during 2008. In an effort to stem the increasing salaries and employee benefits costs, the company instituted a downsizing program, whereby eight staff positions were eliminated in the fourth quarter. In a further effort to reduce expenses, advertising expense decreased by $256,000 in 2008 compared to 2007. Within this category, efficiencies were achieved by decreasing advertising in the media, community and through advertising agencies, which decreased $185,000. Surety insurance increased $340,000 in 2008 over 2007. The principal item in this expense is FDIC insurance, which increased by $378,000, while the remaining items (Office of the Comptroller of the Currency assessment, Local Agency assessment and regular insurance) declined $38,000 net in the same period. Other expense, which includes numerous smaller accounts, increased $281,000 in 2008 over 2007. The principal increase was an Other Real Estate Owned write-down of $218,000. which is primarily related to a single family residence in San Jose, while the remaining thirty-seven expense categories increased a net $63,000. Other expense increased $611,000 in 2007 over 2006, due primarily to Low Income Housing investment expenses of $219,000. The remaining thirty-seven expense categories increased a net $392,000.

Balance Sheet Analysis

          Total assets of the Company were $660,957,000, an increase of 2.6% over 2007. Total assets were $644,465,000 at December 31, 2007, an increase of 10.9% over 2006. Assets averaged $658.1 million in 2008, compared to $623.4 million in 2007 and $575.1 million in 2006. Average earning assets increased from $520.9 million in 2006 to $567.2 in 2007 and $598.4 million in 2008. Average earning assets represented 90.6% of total average assets in 2006, 91.0% in 2007 and 90.9% in 2008. Average interest-bearing liabilities were $386.3 million in 2006, $426.4 million in 2007 and $463.5 million in 2008.

Loans

          The loan portfolio is the principal earning asset of the Bank. Loans outstanding at December 31, 2008 increased by $9.8 million or 2.0% over December 31, 2007. December 31, 2007 increased by $70.8 million or 16.7% over December 31, 2006.

          Real estate loans increased by $1.0 million or 0.3% in 2008 compared to 2007, and they increased by $33.4 million or 10.5% in 2007 compared to 2006. Construction loans increased by $8.3 million or 14.4% in 2008 compared to 2007, and they increased by $20.3 million or 54.6% in 2007 compared to 2006. This increase occurred despite a tightening in our underwriting standards. Commercial loans increased by $1.2 million in 2008 or 1.5% compared to 2007, and increased by $16.1 million in 2007 or 24.3% compared to 2006. Consumer loans represent a nominal portion of total loans. They decreased by $0.5 million in 2008 or 13.6% compared to 2007, and they increased $0.4 million in 2007 or 10.9% compared to 2006.

Investment Portfolio

          Investments at December 31, 2008 were $99,221,000, an increase of $4,789,000 or 5.1% over December 31, 2007. At December 31, 2007, they were $94,432,000, a decrease of $513,000 or 0.5% from 2006.

          Available funds are first used to fund Loans, purchase investments, pay down borrowings, or sold as Federal Funds. The Company’s primary source of funds is the deposit base. If more funds are needed, investment maturities, calls and sales from the Investment Portfolio may be used, which accounts for the volume variances in Investments year over year. The Bank’s investment portfolio is concentrated in debt securities of U. S. Government Agencies and in obligations of States and their political subdivisions. The Bank believes this provides for an appropriate liquidity level.

The following table sets forth the maturity distribution and interest rate sensitivity of investment securities at December 31, 2008:

Deposits

          The increase in average earning assets in 2008 was funded by increases in average deposits and from increased Federal Home Loan Bank advances. During 2008, average deposits were $508,023,000, a decrease of $1,473,000, or 0.3% over 2007. During 2007, average deposits were $509,496,000, an increase of $18,916,000, or 3.9% over 2006. In 2008, average interest-bearing deposits were $389,239,000, an increase of $3,509,000, or 0.9% over 2007. In 2007, average interest-bearing deposits were $385,730,000, an increase of $17,107,000, or 4.6% over 2006. The prime lending rate rose from 5.25% at the beginning of 2005 to 7.25% at the end of 2005 and 8.25% at the end of 2006. The rate did not change again until September 18, 2007, when it dropped to 7.75%, followed by a decrease to 7.50% on October 31, 2007 and 7.25% on December 11, 2007. Time deposits lagged the prime rate changes because their rates changed only as certificates matured or new certificates were issued. Thus, interest-bearing demand costs averaged 0.3% in 2005, 0.5% in 2006 and 0.7% in 2007. Money market deposit costs averaged 2.9% in 2006, 3.4% in 2007 and 2.3% in 2008. Savings rates averaged 0.5% in 2006 and 2007 and 0.3% in 2008. Finally, average interest on time certificates of deposit of $100,000 or more was 4.0% in 2006, 4.9% in 2007 and 3.6% in 2008. On certificates under $100,000, average rates were 3.1% in 2006, 3.7% in 2007 and 2.8% in 2008.

Capital

          At December 31, 2008, shareholders’ equity of the Company was $68,149,000 an increase of $1,604,000 or 2.4% over 2007; at December 31, 2007, shareholders’ equity of the Company was $66,545,000, an increase of $4,482,000 or 7.2% over 2006. The increases were primarily attributable to retention of net income after payment of cash dividends of $1,772,000 in 2008, $1,720,000 in 2007 and, $1,633,000 in 2006.

          In 1989, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) established risk-based capital guidelines requiring banks to maintain certain ratios of “qualifying capital” to “risk-weighted assets”. Under the guidelines, qualifying capital is classified into two tiers, referred to as Tier 1 (core) and Tier 2 (supplementary) capital. Currently, the Company’s Tier 1 capital consists of common shareholders’ equity, though other instruments such as certain types of preferred stock can also be included in Tier 1 capital. Tier 2 capital consists of eligible reserves for possible loan losses and qualifying subordinated notes and debentures. Total capital is the sum of Tier 1 plus Tier 2 capital. Risk-weighted assets are calculated by applying risk percentages specified by the FDIC to categories of both balance sheet assets and off-balance sheet obligations. At year-end 1990, the FDIC also adopted a leverage ratio requirement. This ratio supplements the risk-based capital ratios and is defined as Tier 1 capital divided by quarterly average assets during the reporting period. This requirement established a minimum leverage ratio of 3.0% for the highest rated banks and ratios of 100 to 200 basis points higher for most other banks. Furthermore, in 1993, the FDIC began assessing risk-based deposit insurance assessments based on financial institutions’ capital resources and “management strength”, as mandated by the FDIC Improvement Act of 1991. To qualify for the lowest insurance premiums as indicated in the following table, “well-capitalized” financial institutions must maintain risk-based Tier 1 and total capital ratios of at least 6.0% and 10.0% respectively. “Well-capitalized” financial institutions must also maintain a leverage ratio equal to or exceeding 5.0%.

The following table shows the risk-based capital ratios and the leverage ratios at December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 for the Bank.

Subsequent to December 31, 2008, the Company accepted a $12 million dollar investment in Preferred Shares issue to the U. S. Department of the Treasury. The funds were subsequently contributed to the Bank.

Liquidity

          The Company’s primary source of liquidity on a stand-alone basis is dividends from the Bank. The payment of dividends by the Bank is subject to regulatory restrictions. Liquidity is a measure of the Company’s ability to convert assets into cash. Liquidity consists of cash and due from other banks accounts, including time deposits, federal funds sold, and Securities Available-for-Sale. The Company’s policy is to maintain a liquidity ratio of 5% or greater of total assets. As of December 31, 2008, the Company’s primary liquidity was 17.26%, compared to 17.10% in 2007 and 20.98% in 2006. Total Liquid Assets were $114,086,000 in 2008, $110,182,000 in 2007 and $121,967,000 in 2006. The objective of liquidity management is to ensure that the Company has funds available to meet all present and future financial obligations and to take advantage of business opportunities as they occur. Financial obligations arise from withdrawals of deposits, repayment on maturity of purchased funds, extension of loans or other forms of credit, payment of operating expenses and payments of dividends.

51


          Core deposits, which consist of all deposits other than time deposits, have provided the Company with a sizable source of relatively stable low-cost funds. The Company’s average core deposits represented 61.8% of average total liabilities of $590,620,000 for the year ended December 31, 2008, 65.9% of average total liabilities of $559,097,000 for the year ended December 31, 2007 and 69.4% of average total liabilities of $516,155,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006.

          As of December 31, 2008, the Company had contractual obligations and other commercial commitments totaling approximately $205,553,000. The following table sets forth the Company’s contractual obligations and other commercial commitments as of December 31, 2008. These obligations and commitments will be funded primarily by loan repayments and the Company’s liquidity sources, such as cash and due from other banks, federal funds sold, securities available for sale, as well as time deposits.

          The largest component of the Company’s earnings is net interest income, which can fluctuate widely when significant interest rate movements occur. The prime lending rate rose from 5.25% at the beginning of 2005 to 7.25% at the end of 2005 and 8.25% at the end of 2006. The rate decreased to 7.25% at the end of 2007, and to 3.25% at the end of 2008. The Company’s management is responsible for minimizing the Bank’s exposure to interest rate risk and assuring an adequate level of liquidity. This is accomplished by developing objectives, goals and strategies designed to enhance profitability and performance.

52


          Ongoing management of the Company’s interest rate sensitivity in order to keep interest rate risk levels within acceptable limits. Management can adjust the Bank’s interest rate by controlling the mix and maturity of assets and liabilities. Management regularly reviews the Company’s position and evaluates alternative sources and uses of funds as well as changes in external factors. Various methods are used to achieve and maintain the desired rate sensitivity position including the sale or purchase of assets and product pricing.

          In order to ensure that sufficient funds are available for loan growth and deposit withdrawals, as well as to provide for general needs, the Company must maintain an adequate level of liquidity. Asset liquidity comes from the Company’s ability to convert short-term investments into cash and from the maturity and repayment of loans and investment securities. Liability liquidity is provided by the Company’s ability to attract deposits and obtain short term credit through established borrowing lines. The primary source of liability liquidity is the Bank’s customer base, which provides core deposit growth. The overall liquidity position of the Company is closely monitored and evaluated regularly. The Company has federal fund borrowing facilities for a total of $40,000,000, a Federal Home Loan Bank line of credit of up to 30% of total assets, and a Federal Reserve Bank borrowing facility. Management believes the Company’s liquidity sources at December 31, 2008 are adequate to meet its operating needs in 2009 and into the foreseeable future. Subsequent to December 31, 2008, the Company received a $12,000,000 investment in Company Preferred Stock from the U. S. Department of the Treasury. This investment was then contributed to the Bank as an additional capital contribution. These funds are intended to fund loan workout programs and to bolster lending activity of the Bank.

Effect of Changing Prices

          The results of operations and financial conditions presented in this report are based on historical cost information and are not adjusted for the effects of inflation.

          Since the assets and liabilities of banks are primarily monetary in nature (payable in fixed, determinable amounts), the performance of the Company is affected more by changes in interest rates than by inflation. Interest rates generally increase as the rate of inflation increases, but the magnitude of the change in rates may not be the same.

          The effect of inflation on banks is normally not as significant as its influence on those businesses that have large investments in plant and inventories. During periods of high inflation, there are normally corresponding increases in the money supply, and banks will normally experience above average growth in assets, loans and deposits. Also, increases in the price of goods and services will result in increased operating expenses.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Interest Rate Risk

          Closely related to the concept of liquidity is the concept of interest rate sensitivity (i. e., the extent to which assets and liabilities are sensitive to changes in interest rates). Management uses an asset/liability model that considers the relative sensitivities of the balance sheet, including the effect of interest rate caps on adjustable rate mortgages and the relatively stable aspects of core deposits. As such, management can model a net interest income simulation that is designed to address the probability of interest rate changes and behavioral response of the balance sheet to those changes. Market value of portfolio equity represents the fair value of the net present value of assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet items. The starting point (or “base case”) for the following table is the Company’s net portfolio at December 31, 2008, using current discount rates, and an estimate of net interest income for 2009 assuming that both interest rates and the Company’s interest-sensitive assets and liabilities remain at December 31, 2008 levels. The “rate shock” information in the table shows estimates of net portfolio value at December 31, 2008 and net interest income for 2009 assuming fluctuations or “rate shocks” of minus 100 and 200 basis points and plus 100 and 200 basis points. Rate shocks assume that current interest rates change immediately.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
FNB Bancorp and Subsidiary

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of FNB Bancorp and subsidiary, (the Company) as of December 31, 2008 and 2007 and the related statements of earnings, changes in stockholders’ equity and comprehensive income and cash flows for each of the years in the three year period ended December 31, 2008. We have also audited FNB Bancorp’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). FNB Bancorp’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 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. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. An audit of internal control over financial reporting includes obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

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 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 the 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 financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of FNB Bancorp and subsidiary as of December 31, 2008 and 2007 and the results of its operations and cash flows for each of the three years in the three year period ended December 31, 2008 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion FNB Bancorp maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the COSO.

As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.”

The Company and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

 

 

 

FNB Bancorp (the “Company”) is a bank holding company registered under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended. The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of California on February 28, 2001. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of FNB Bancorp and its wholly owned subsidiary, First National Bank of Northern California (the Bank). The Bank provides traditional banking services in San Mateo and San Francisco counties.

 

 

 

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. For the Bank, the significant accounting estimate is the allowance for loan losses (note 1f). A summary of the significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements follows.

 

 

 

 

(a)

Basis of Presentation

 

 

 

 

 

The accounting and reporting policies of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

 

 

 

 

(b)

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

 

 

 

 

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, amounts due from banks, and federal funds sold. Generally, federal funds are sold for one-day periods. The cash equivalents are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and present insignificant risk of changes in value due to original maturity dates of 90 days or less. Included in cash and cash equivalents are amounts restricted for the Federal Reserve requirement of approximately $3,046,000 and $791,000 at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

 

 

 

 

(c)

Investment Securities

 

 

 

 

 

Investment securities consist of U.S. Treasury securities, U.S. agency securities, obligations of states and political subdivisions, obligations of U.S. corporations, mortgage-backed securities and other securities. At the time of purchase of a security, the Company designates the security as held-to-maturity or available-for-sale, based on its investment objectives, operational needs, and intent to hold. The Company does not purchase securities with the intent to engage in trading activity. Held to maturity securities are recorded at amortized cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums or accretion of discounts. The Company did not have any investments in the held-to-maturity portfolio at December 31, 2008 or 2007. Securities available-for-sale are recorded at fair value with unrealized holding gains or losses, net of the related tax effect, reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity until realized. A decline in the market value of any security available-for-sale or held-to-maturity below cost that is deemed other than temporary results in a charge to earnings and the corresponding establishment of a new cost basis for the security. Amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts on debt securities are included in interest income over the life of the related security held-to-maturity or available-for-sale using the effective interest method. Dividend and interest income are recognized when earned. Realized gains and losses for securities classified as available-for-sale and held-to-maturity are included in earnings and are derived using the specific identification method for determining the cost of securities sold.

(d)

Derivatives

 

 

 

 

 

All derivatives contracts are recognized as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and measured at fair value. The Company did not hold any derivative contracts at December 31, 2008 and 2007.

 

 

 

 

(e)

Loans

 

 

 

 

 

Loans are reported at the principal amount outstanding, net of deferred loan fees and the allowance for loan losses. A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement, including scheduled interest payments. For a loan that has been restructured, the contractual terms of the loan agreement refer to the contractual terms specified by the original loan agreement, not the contractual terms specified by the restructuring agreement. An impaired loan is measured based upon the present value of future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective rate, the loan’s observable market price, or the fair value of collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. Interest on impaired loans is recognized on a cash basis. If the measurement of the impaired loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan, an impairment is recognized by a charge to the allowance for loan losses. An unearned discount on installment loans is recognized as income over the terms of the loans by the interest method. Interest on other loans is calculated by using the simple interest method on the daily balance of the principal amount outstanding.

 

 

 

 

 

Loan fees net of certain direct costs of origination, which represent an adjustment to interest yield, are deferred and amortized over the contractual term of the loan using the interest method.

Loans on which the accrual of interest has been discontinued are designated as nonaccrual loans. Accrual of interest on loans is discontinued either when reasonable doubt exists as to the full and timely collection of interest or principal when a loan becomes contractually past due by 90 days or more with respect to interest or principal. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, all interest previously accrued but not collected is reversed against current period interest income. Interest accruals are resumed on such loans only when they are brought fully current with respect to interest and principal and when, in the judgment of management, the loans are estimated to be fully collectible as to both principal and interest. Restructured loans are loans on which concessions in terms have been granted because of the borrowers’ financial difficulties. Interest is generally accrued on such loans in accordance with the new terms. Net interest written off in 2008 was $692,000 (see Allowance for Loan Losses discussed in the Management Discussion and Analysis section).

 

 

 

 

(f)

Allowance for Loan Losses

 

 

 

 

 

The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses charged to expense. Loans are charged off against the allowance for loan losses when management believes that the collectibility of the principal is unlikely. The allowance is an amount that management believes will be adequate to absorb probable losses inherent in existing loans, standby letters of credit, overdrafts, and commitments to extend credit based on evaluations of collectibility and prior loss experience. The evaluations take into consideration such factors as changes in the nature and volume of the portfolio, overall portfolio quality, loan concentrations, specific problem loans and current and anticipated economic conditions that may affect the borrowers’ ability to pay. While management uses these evaluations to determine the level of the allowance for loan losses, future provisions may be necessary based on changes in the factors used in the evaluations. Material estimates relating to the determination of the allowance for loan losses are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term. Management believes that the allowance for loan losses is adequate as of December 31, 2008. While management uses available information to recognize losses on loans, future additions to the allowance may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions, and our borrowers ability to pay. In addition, the banking regulators, as an integral part of its examination process, periodically review the Bank’s allowance for loan losses. The banking regulators may require the Bank to recognize additions to the allowance based on their judgment about information available to them at the time of their examination.

 

 

 

 

(g)

Premises and Equipment

 

 

 

 

 

Premises and equipment are reported at cost less accumulated depreciation using the straight-line method over the estimated service lives of related assets ranging from 3 to 50 years original life. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the estimated lives of the respective leases or the service lives of the improvements, whichever is shorter.

(h)

Cash Dividends

 

 

 

 

 

The Company’s ability to pay cash dividends is subject to restrictions set forth in the California General Corporation Law. Funds for payment of any cash dividends by the Company would be obtained from its investments as well as dividends and/or management fees from First National Bank. First National Bank’s ability to pay cash dividends is subject to restrictions imposed under the National Bank Act and regulations promulgated by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency.

 

 

 

 

(i)

Stock Dividend

 

 

 

 

 

On October 24, 2008, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had declared a five percent (5%) stock dividend resulting in approximately 145,310 shares, payable at the rate of one share of Common Stock for every twenty (20) shares of Common Stock owned. The stock dividend was paid on December 15, 2008, to shareholders of record on November 28, 2008. The earnings per share data for all periods presented has been adjusted for this stock dividend.

 

 

 

 

(j)

Income Taxes

 

 

 

 

 

Deferred income taxes are determined using the assets and liabilities method. Under this method, the net deferred tax asset or liability is recognized for tax consequences of temporary differences by applying current tax rates to differences between the financial reporting and the tax basis of existing assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are reflected at currently enacted income tax rates applicable to the period in which the deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be realized or settled. A valuation allowance is established through the provision for income taxes for any deferred tax assets where the collectibility of the asset is in doubt. During 2008, the Company recorded a tax valuation of $368,000. As changes in tax laws or rates are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through the provision for income taxes.

 

 

 

 

 

Accounting for Income Tax Uncertainties

 

 

 

 

 

The Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, on January 1, 2007. The Company had no unrecognized tax benefits which would require adjustment to the January 1, 2007 beginning balance of retained earnings. The Company had unrecognized tax benefits of $37,500 at December 31, 2008.

 

 

 

 

 

The Company recognizes interest accrued and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in tax expense. During the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 the Company believes that any penalties and interest penalties that may exist are not material and have not been accrued for.

(k)

Earnings per Share

 

 

 

 

 

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share reflects potential dilution from outstanding stock options, using the treasury stock method. There were 305,258 and 44,290 antidilutive shares in the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. There were no antidilutive shares in the year ended December 31, 2006.

 

 

 

 

 

For each of the years presented, net income is the same for basic and diluted earnings per share. Reconciliation of weighted average shares used in computing basic and diluted earnings per share is as follows:

Stock Option Plans

 

 

 

 

 

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R) “Share-Based Payment”. Measurement of the cost of stock options granted is based on the grant-date fair value of each stock option granted using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The cost is then amortized to expense on a straight-line basis over each option’s vesting period. The amortized expense of the stock option’s fair value has been included in salaries and employee benefits expense for the three years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006. The expected term of options granted is derived from the output of the option valuation model and represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U. S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant. FNB Bancorp stock has limited liquidity and limited trading activity. Volatility was calculated using historical price changes on a monthly basis over the expected life of the option.

 

 

 

 

(m)

Fair Values of Financial Instruments

 

 

 

 

 

Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” which requires enhanced disclosures about financial instruments carried at fair value. SFAS No. 157 establishes a disclosure framework that quantifies fair value estimates by the level of pricing precision. The degree of judgment utilized in measuring the fair value of assets generally correlates to the level of pricing precision. Financial instruments rarely traded or not quoted will generally have a higher degree of judgment utilized in measuring fair value. Pricing precision is impacted by a number of factors including the type of asset, the availability of the asset, the market demand for the asset, and other conditions that were considered at the time of the valuation. See “Fair Value Measurements” for additional information about the level of pricing transparency associated with the financial instruments carried at fair value.

          Fair Value Measurement. The following tables present information about the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value as of December 31, 2008, and indicates the fair value techniques used by the Company to determine such fair value. In general, fair values determined by Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls has been determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

Impaired Loans. The Bank does not record loans at fair value. However, from time to time, if a loan is considered impaired, and a specific allowance for loan losses is established, loans for which it is probable that payment of interest and principal will not be made in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement, are considered impaired. Once a loan is identified as individually impaired, management measures impairment in accordance with SFAS No. 114, “Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan.” In accordance with SFAS No. 157, impaired loans where a specific allowance is established based on the fair value of collateral require classification in the fair value hierarchy. If the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price or a current appraised value, the Bank records the impaired loans as nonrecurring Level 2. When an appraised value is not available, or management determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value and there is no observable market price, the Bank records the impaired loans as nonrecurring Level 3. Specific reserves of $678,000 have been established for impaired loans as of December 31, 2008.

Income Tax Credits

 

 

 

 

 

At December 31, 2008, the Bank had a $2,529,000 equity investment in three partnerships, which own low-income affordable housing projects that generate tax benefits in the form of federal and state housing tax credits. As a limited partner investor in these partnerships, the Company receives tax benefits in the form of tax deductions from partnership operating losses and federal and state income tax credits. The federal and state income tax credits are earned over a 10-year period as a result of the investment properties meeting certain criteria and are subject to recapture for noncompliance with such criteria over a 15-year period. The expected benefit resulting from the low-income housing tax credits is recognized in the period for which the tax benefit is recognized in the Company’s consolidated tax returns. These investments are accounted for using the effective yield method and are recorded in other assets on the balance sheet. Under the effective yield method, the Company recognizes tax credits as they are allocated and amortizes the initial cost of the investments to provide a constant effective yield over the period that tax credits are allocated to the Company. The effective yield is the internal rate of return on the investment, based on the cost of the investment and the tax credits allocated to the Company. The expected residual value of the investment is zero and therefore was excluded from the effective yield calculation. Cash received from operations of the limited partnership or sale of the properties, if any, will be included in earnings when realized.

 

 

 

 

(o)

Reclassifications

 

 

 

 

 

Certain prior year information has been reclassified to conform to current year presentation. The reclassifications had no impact on net income or retained earnings.

 

 

 

 

(p)

Bank Owned Life Insurance

 

 

 

 

 

The Company purchased insurance on the lives of certain executives. The policies accumulate asset values to meet future liabilities including the payment of employee benefits such as the deferred compensation plan. Increases in the cash surrender value are recorded as other noninterest income in the consolidated statements of income. The cash surrender value of bank owned life insurance is reflected in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets in the amount of $10,781,000 and $9,617,000 at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. During 2008, the Company realized $760,000 in death benefits from a life insurance contract covering a former executive of the Company.

 

 

 

 

(q)

Federal Home Loan Bank Borrowings

 

 

 

 

 

The Bank maintains a collateralized line of credit with the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) of San Francisco. Under this line, the Bank may borrow on a short term or a long term (over one year) basis. FHLB advances are recorded and carried at their historical cost. FHLB advances are not transferable and may contain prepayment penalties. In addition to the collateral pledged, the Company is required to hold prescribed amounts of FHLB stock that vary with the usage of FHLB credits.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement No. 159 The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115. Statement No. 159 establishes a fair value option that allows an entity to designate individual financial assets and liabilities as fair value option instruments. Under the fair value option, the change in unrealized gains and losses created by the change in fair value of financial instruments shall be reported in an entity’s earnings for each reporting period. Additional disclosures regarding fair value for financial assets and liabilities accounting for under the fair value option are also required. This statement is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. The Company did not elect the fair value option for any of its financial assets or liabilities and therefore the adoption did not have a material effect.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) announced that it had revised Statement 141, Business Combinations, with 141(R). The revised Statement No. 141 was written to improve the relevance, representational faithfulness and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial reports about a business combination and its effects. This Statement establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

a)

Recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

b)

Recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

c)

Determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This Statement applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Company does not expect this Standard to have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Financial Statements – an amendment of ARB No. 51.” Statement No. 160 clarifies reporting and disclosure requirements related to noncontrolling interest included in an entity’s consolidated financial statements. This Statement clarifies that noncontrolling interests are to be reported in the noncontrolling section of the balance sheet and requires net income to include amounts from both the parent and the noncontrolling interest. This Statement also requires the parent company to recognize a gain or loss in net income when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. This Statement is effective for fiscal years (and interim periods within those years), beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Company will apply this Statement prospectively and does not expect the Statement to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

At December 31, 2008, there were no securities in an unrealized loss position for greater than 12 consecutive months. Management periodically evaluates each security in an unrealized loss position to determine if the impairment is temporary or other-than-temporary. Management has determined that no investment security is other-than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2008. The unrealized losses are due solely to interest rate changes and the Company has the ability and intent to hold all investment securities with identified impairments resulting from interest rate changes to the earliest of forecasted recovery or the maturity of the underlying investment security.

 

 

 

The amortized cost and carrying value of debt securities as of December 31, 2008, by contractual maturity, are shown below. Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

Bank Savings Plan

 

 

 

The Bank maintains a salary deferral 401(k) plan covering substantially all employees, known as the First National Bank Savings Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan allows employees to make contributions to the Plan up to a maximum allowed by law and the Bank’s contribution is discretionary. Beginning in 2008, the Board approved a safe harbor election related to the Plan which requires the Company to contribute 3% of qualifying employees wages as a profit sharing contribution. The Bank’s contribution to the Plan for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006 was $400,000, $600,000 and $602,000, respectively.

 

 

(12)

Salary Continuation and Deferred Compensation Plans

 

 

 

The Bank maintains a Salary Continuation Plan for certain Bank officers. Officers participating in the Salary Continuation Plan are entitled to receive a monthly payment for a period of fifteen to twenty years upon retirement. The Company accrues such post-retirement benefits over the individual’s employment period. The Salary Continuation Plan expense for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006 was $238,000, $181,000 and $239,000, respectively. Accrued compensation payable under the salary continuation plan totaled $1,833,000 and $2,010,000 at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

 

 

 

The Deferred Compensation Plan allows eligible officers to defer annually their compensation up to a maximum 80% of their base salary and 100% of their cash bonus. The officer will be entitled to receive distribution upon reaching a specified age, passage of at least five years or termination of employment. As of December 31, 2008 and 2007, the related liability included in accrued expenses and other liabilities was $848,000 and $1,715,000, respectively. The decrease in 2008 was due to withdrawals by employees in the Plan.

As of December 31, 2008, the Bank had no state tax credit carryforwards for income tax purposes as these were all used during 2005. Accordingly, there is no valuation allowance related to these credits as of December 31, 2008 or 2007. Additionally, management believes that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized through recovery of taxes previously paid and/or future taxable income, with the exception of a portion of low income housing credit carryforwards. The Bank has federal net operating loss carryforwards resulting from the acquisition of Sequoia National Bank which expire from December 31, 2011 through December 31, 2020, for a total balance of $2,609,000 as of December 31, 2008. These losses are limited to approximately $469,000 per year under IRS regulations.

 

 

 

In assessing the Company’s ability to realize the tax benefits of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based upon the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the periods which the deferred tax assets are deductible, management believes it is more likely than not that the Company will realize the recorded benefits of these deductible differences, with the possible exception of our low income housing tax credit carryforwards. In the opinion of management, a valuation allowance of $368,000 was necessary as of December 31, 2008. This valuation allowance only became necessary during 2008, and is equivalent to 100% of the low income housing credit carryforwards that existed as of December 31, 2008. There was no tax valuation allowance in 2007 or 2006.

Financial Instruments

 

 

 

The Bank is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit in the form of loans or through standby letters of credit. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest-rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheet.

 

 

 

The Bank’s exposure to credit loss is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments and is usually limited to amounts funded or drawn. The contract or notional amounts of these agreements, which are not included in the balance sheets, are an indicator of the Bank’s credit exposure. Commitments to extend credit generally carry variable interest rates and are subject to the same credit standards used in the lending process for on-balance-sheet instruments. Additionally, the Bank periodically reassesses the customer’s creditworthiness through ongoing credit reviews. The Bank generally requires collateral or other security to support commitments to extend credit. The following table provides summary information on financial institutions whose contract amounts represent credit risk as of December 31:

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Bank evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Bank upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation. Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, and income-producing commercial and residential properties.

 

 

 

Equity reserve and unused credit card lines are additional commitments to extend credit. Many of these customers are not expected to draw down their total lines of credit, and therefore, the total contract amount of these lines does not necessarily represent future cash requirements.

 

 

 

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. The Bank issues both financial and performance standby letters of credit. The financial standby letters of credit are primarily to guarantee payment to third parties. As of December 31, 2008, there were $1,841,000 issued in financial standby letters of credit. The performance standby letters of credit are typically issued to municipalities as specific performance bonds. As of December 31, 2008 there were $902,000 issued in performance standby letters of credit. The terms of the guarantees will expire in 2009.

 

 

 

The Bank has experienced no draws on these letters of credit, and does not expect to in the future; however, should a triggering event occur, the Bank either has collateral in excess of the letters of credit or embedded agreements of recourse from the customer.

The carrying amounts of loans include $14,118,000 and $11,465,000 of nonaccrual loans (loans that are not accruing interest) at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Management has determined that primarily because of the uncertainty of predicting an observable market interest rate, excessive amounts of time and money would be incurred to estimate the fair values of nonperforming loans. As such, these loans are recorded at their carrying amount in the estimated fair value columns.

Significant Group Concentrations of Credit Risk

 

 

 

Most of the Bank’s business activity is with customers located within San Mateo and San Francisco counties. Generally, the loans are secured by assets of the borrowers. The loans are expected to be repaid from cash flows or proceeds from the sale of selected assets of the borrowers. The Bank does not have significant concentrations of loans to any one industry.

 

 

 

The distribution of commitments to extend credit approximates the distribution of loans outstanding. Commercial and standby letters of credit were granted primarily to commercial borrowers. The contractual amounts of credit-related financial instruments such as commitments to extend credit, credit-card arrangements, and letters of credit represent the amounts of potential accounting loss should the contract be fully drawn upon, the customer default, and the value of any existing collateral become worthless.

 

 

(16)

Regulatory matters

 

 

 

The Company, as a bank holding company, is subject to regulation by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended. The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Company’s and the Bank’s assets, liabilities and certain off balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors.

 

 

 

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of total and Tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier 1 capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined). Management believes, as of December 31, 2008, that the Company and the Bank have met all regulatory capital requirements.

As of December 31, 2008, the most recent notification from the regulatory agencies categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized the Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based, and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the table. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the Bank’s categories.

Stock Option Plans

 

 

 

In 1997, the Company adopted an incentive employee stock option plan, known as the 1997 FNB Bancorp Plan. In 2002, the Company adopted an incentive employee option plan known as the 2002 FNB Bancorp Plan. In 2008, the Company adopted an incentive employee stock option plan known as the 2008 FNB Bancorp Stock Option Plan. The Plans allow the Company as of December 31, 2008 to grant options to employees covering 378,600 shares. Incentive stock options currently outstanding become exercisable in one to five years from the grant date, based on a vesting schedule of 20% per year and expire 10 years after the grant date. Nonqualified options to directors become vested on the date of grant. The options exercise price is the fair value of the per share price of the underlying stock options at the grant date.

 

 

 

The amount of compensation expense for options recorded in the years ended December 31, 2008, December 31, 2007, and December 31 2006 was $171,000, $68,000 and $39,000, respectively. The income tax benefit related to stock option exercises was $14,000 for 2008, under $3,000 for 2007 and under $1,000 for 2006.

FNB BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006

 

 

 

There were no options exercised during the year ended December 31, 2008 under the 2008 Stock Option Plan. The intrinsic value of options exercised during 2008 was $37,000 under the 1997 Plan.

 

 

 

The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the year ended December 31, 2007 was $158,000 which includes $62,000 under the 2002 Plan and $96,000 under the 1997 Plan.

 

 

 

The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the year ended December 31, 2006 was $263,000 which includes $60,000 under the 2002 Plan and $203,000 under the 1997 Plan.

 

 

 

The amount of total unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested options at December 31, 2008 was $420,000, and the weighted average period it will be amortized over is 2.5 years.

 

 

 

The fair value of each option granted is estimated on the date of grant using the fair value method with the following weighted average assumptions used for grants in 2008; dividend yield of 4.86% for the year; risk-free interest rate of 3.51%; expected volatility of 50.92%; expected life of 8.8 years; and weighted average fair value of $4.22 per share. The assumptions for grants in 2007; dividend yield of 1.97% for the year; risk-free interest rate of 5.11%; expected volatility of 11.32%; expected life of 6.4 years; and weighted average fair value of $5.82 per share. The assumptions for grants in 2006; dividend yield of 6.66% for the year; risk-free interest rate of 5.19%; expected volatility of 10%; expected life of 6.5 years; and weighted average fair value of $1.50 per share.

Subsequent Event

The Company decided to participate in the U. S. Treasury Department Capital Purchase Program. The additional funds will be used to increase the Company’s lending capability in the midst of the current recessionary environment. It will also act as a cushion for future capital adequacy, should the economy continue to deteriorate and adversely affect its borrowers ability to repay their loans.

The Company completed a $12,000,000 capital transaction with the U. S. Department of the Treasury through their Capital Purchase Program. The transaction was completed on Friday, February 27, 2009. As a condition of the transaction, the Company issued the Treasury Department 12,000 shares of senior preferred stock with a 5% stated coupon for 5 years, which would become 9% if not repaid in five years. The shares have a liquidation value of $1,000 per share and must be redeemed after ten years. In addition, the Company issued a warrant to purchase 600 shares of warrant preferred stock with a 9% stated coupon with a liquidation value of $1,000 per share, and a purchase price of $0.01 per share. The Treasury purchased these shares immediately as part of the transaction.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

Not applicable.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

          Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Disclosure controls and procedures are designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in reports filed by the Company under the Exchange Act, such as this Annual Report, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Disclosure controls and procedures are also designed with the objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

          Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures and Internal Control over Financial Reporting. The Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of December 31, 2008. Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective. There was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2008 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

          Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. As defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act, internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, a company’s principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by a company’s board of directors, management and other personnel, 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. It includes those policies and procedures that:

 

 

 

 

a)

Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of a company;

 

 

 

 

b)

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 a company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and the board of directors of the company, and

 

 

 

 

c)

Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of a company’s assets that could have a material effect on its financial statements.

Because of the 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.

91


The Company’s management has used the criteria established in “Internal Control-Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) to evaluate the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Management has selected the COSO framework for its evaluation as it is a control framework recognized by the SEC and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, that is free from bias, permits reasonably consistent qualitative and quantitative measurement of the Company’s internal controls, is sufficiently complete so that relevant controls are not omitted and is relevant to an evaluation of internal controls over financial reporting.

Based on our assessment, management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting, based on criteria established in “Internal Control-Integrated Framework” issued by COSO was effective as of December 31, 2008.

Moss Adams LLP, the registered public accounting firm that audited the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report under Item 8, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data,” has issued a report with respect to the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. This report appears as part of the Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm under said Item 8 of this Annual Report and is incorporated here by reference.

Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls

The Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. The design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Further, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Projections of any evaluation of controls effectiveness to future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.
