NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

March 31, 2007

(UNAUDITED)

Note 1 - Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Pacific Premier Bancorp, Inc. (the “Corporation”) and its wholly owned subsidiary, Pacific Premier Bank (the “Bank”) (collectively, the “Company”). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

In the opinion of management, the unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of March 31, 2007, and the results of its operations, changes in stockholders’ equity, comprehensive income and cash flows for the three months endedMarch 31, 2007 and2006. Operating results for the three months endedMarch 31, 2007are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or the full year ending December 31, 2007.

Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.

Certain amounts reflected in the 2006 consolidated financial statements have been reclassified where practicable, to conform to the presentation for 2007. These classifications are of a normal recurring nature.

The following table reflects the reclassification on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet of restricted shares issued from other assets to additional paid-in capital.

	With reclassifications		Originally presented
	For Quarter Ended		For Quarter Ended		Net
Common Stock Amount	March 31, 2006		March 31, 2006		Change
Share-based compensation expense		24		-		24
Restricted stock issued		-		363		(363	)
Exercise of stock options		57		57		-
Total activity		81		420		(339	)

The following table reflects the reclassification on the statement of Company’s cash flows of proceeds from issuance of restriced stock from net cash used in operating activities to net cash used in financing activities and share-based compensation expense from increase in accrued interest and other assets to share-based compensation expense.

	With reclassifications			Originally presented
	For Quarter Ended			For Quarter Ended			Net
	March 31, 2006			March 31, 2006			Change
Share-based compensation expense	$	24		$	-		$	24
Increase in accrued interest receivable and other assets		(1,234	)		(1,573	)		339
All other operating activities		321			321			-

Net cash used in financing activities	$	(19,296	)	$	(18,933	)	$	(363	)

The Company accounts for its investments in its wholly owned special purpose entity, PPBI Trust I, using the equity method under which the subsidiary’s net earnings are recognized in the Company’s statement of income.

Note 2 - Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) published FASB Interpretation 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (or “FIN 48”). FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. This Interpretation also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. The evaluation of a tax position in accordance with FIN 48 is a two-step process. The first step is recognition: The enterprise determines whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. In evaluating whether a tax position has met the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, the enterprise should presume that the position will be examined by the appropriate taxing authority that would have full knowledge of all relevant information. The second step is measurement: A tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is measured to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in the financial statements. The tax position is measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Tax positions that previously failed to meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold should be recognized in the first subsequent financial reporting period in which that threshold is met. Previously recognized tax positions that no longer meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold should be derecognized in the first subsequent financial reporting period in which that threshold is no longer met.

FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 (first quarter of 2007 for calendar year companies). The cumulative effect of applying the provisions of FIN 48 upon adoption will be reported as an adjustment to beginning retained earnings. As of March 31, 2007, the Company had no tax position where an adjustment to retained earnings is necessary.

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, a standard that provides enhanced guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. The standard also responds to investors’ requests for expanded information about the extent to which companies measure assets and liabilities at fair value, the information used to measure fair value, and the effect of fair value measurements on earnings. The standard applies whenever other standards require (or permit) assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value. Under the standard, fair value refers to the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the market in which the reporting entity transacts. The standard clarifies that fair value should be based on the assumptions market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. In support of this principle, the standard establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to develop those assumptions. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets and the lowest priority to unobservable data, for example, the reporting entity’s own data. Under the standard, fair value measurements would be separately disclosed by level within the fair value hierarchy. It is required that we adopt SFAS No. 157 on January 1, 2008. Adoption of SFAS 157 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company.

On February 15, 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115. SFAS 159 provides companies with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value. It requires entities to display the fair value of those assets and liabilities for which the company has chosen to use fair value on the face of the balance sheet. In addition, unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected are reported in earnings. SFAS 159 is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of the previous fiscal year provided that the entity makes the choice in the first 120 days of that fiscal year and also elects to apply the provisions of SFAS 157. The Company has decided against early adoption of SFAS 159. The effect on our results of operations or financial condition when we implement SFAS 159 has not yet been determined.

Note 3 - Regulatory Matters

It is our goal to maintain capital levels within the regulatory “well capitalized” category. The Company’s (on a consolidated basis) and the Bank’s capital amounts and ratios are presented in the following tables:

The amounts for December 31, 2006 are calculated using total actual assets per Office of Thrift Supervision guidelines. As of March 31, 2007, the amounts are calculated using total average assets per Federal Reserve Board guidelines.

Note 4 - Borrowings

AtMarch 31, 2007, total borrowings of the Company amounted to $308.1 million. The borrowings were comprised of Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) term borrowings and overnight advances of $235.0 millionand$72.3 million, respectively, and $500,000at a rate of 6.00% per annumagainst the Bank’s $18.7 millioncredit facility, secured by mutual funds pledged to Pershing LLC. The Bank’s $307.3 millionin FHLB advances had a weighted average interest rate of 5.17%and a weighted average maturity of 1.56years as of March 31, 2007.As of such date, advances from the FHLB were collateralized by pledges of certain real estate loans with an aggregate principal balance of $473.4 million. As ofMarch 31, 2007, the Bank was able to borrow up to 45%of its total assets as of December 31, 2006under the line, which amounted to $326.8 million, anincrease of $8.7 millionfrom the quarter ended December 31, 2006. FHLBadvances consisted of the following as of March 31, 2007:

						Weighted
			Percent			Average Annual
FHLB Advances Maturing in:	Amount		of Total			Interest Rate
	(dollars in thousands)
One month or less	$	92,300		30.03	%		5.50	%
Over one month to three months		-		0.00	%		0.00	%
Over three months to six months		40,000		13.02	%		5.48	%
Over six months to one year		-		0.00	%		0.00	%
Over one year		175,000		56.95	%		4.93	%
Total FHLB advances	$	307,300		100.00	%		5.17	%

Note 5 - Subordinated Debentures

InMarch 2004,the Corporation issued $10.3 million of Floating Rate Junior Subordinated Deferrable Interest Debentures (the “Subordinated Debentures”) to PPBI Trust I, which funded the payment of $10.0 million of Floating Rate Trust Preferred Securities issued by PPBI Trust I in March 2004. The net proceeds from the offering of Trust Preferred Securities were contributed as capital to the Bank to support further growth. Interest is payable quarterly on the Subordinated Debentures atthree-month LIBOR plus 2.75% per annum,for an effective rate of 8.11% per annumas ofMarch 31, 2007.

Under FIN 46R, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an interpretation of ARB No. 51,” the Corporation is not allowed to consolidate PPBI Trust I into the Company’s financial statements. The resulting effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements is to report the Subordinated Debentures as a component of liabilities. Prior to the issuance of FIN 46R, bank holding companies typically consolidated these entities and reported the Trust Preferred Securities as a component of liabilities.

Note 6 - Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders including common stock equivalents, such as outstanding stock options and warrants by the weighted average number of common shares and common stock equivalents outstanding for the period. Stock options totaling 190,975and94,147shares for March 31, 2007andMarch 31, 2006, respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share due to their exercise price exceeding the average market price.

The table below set forth the Company’s unaudited earnings per share calculations for thethree months endedMarch 31, 2007 and2006.

Note 7 - Valuation Allowance for Deferred Income Taxes

During2006, the Company reversed all remaining valuation allowance, as the deferred tax assets were determined, more likely than not, to be realized based on the Company’s quarterly analysis of its valuation allowance for deferred taxes. The Company benefited from the reduction in its valuation allowance for deferred taxes for thethree monthsendedMarch 31, 2006of$500,000. The Company’s valuation allowance for deferred taxes was zeroatMarch 31, 2007.

The statements contained herein that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements based on management’s current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects on the Company. There can be no assurance that future developments affecting the Company will be the same as those anticipated by management. Actual results may differ from those projected in the forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties.

GENERAL

The following presents management’s discussion and analysis of the consolidated financial condition and operating results of the Company for the three months endedMarch 31, 2007 and2006. The discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Management Discussion and Analysis included in the 2006 Annual Reporton Form 10-K, plus the unaudited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report. The results for the three months endedMarch 31, 2007are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the year ending December 31, 2007.

The Company, a Delaware corporation organized in 1997, is a bank holding company that owns 100% of the capital stock of the Bank, the Company’s principal operating subsidiary. The primary business of the Company is community banking.

The Bank was founded in 1983 as a state chartered savings and loan, became a federally chartered stock savings bank in 1991 and on March 30, 2007, converted to a chartered banklicensed by the California Department of Financial Institutions ("DFI"). The Bank is a member of the FHLB of San Francisco, which is a member bank of the Federal Home Loan Bank System, and the Federal Reserve System. The Bank’s deposit accounts are insured up to the $100,000 maximum amount, except for retirement accounts which are insured up to the $250,000 maximum currently allowable under federal laws by the Deposit Insurance Fund, which is an insurance fund administered by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). The Bank is subject to examination and regulation by the DFI, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (“FRB”), and by the FDIC.

The Company is a financial services organization committed to serving consumers and small businesses in Southern California. The Bank operates sixdepository branches in Southern California located in the cities of Costa Mesa, Huntington Beach, Los Alamitos, Newport Beach, San Bernardino, and Seal Beach, and a Small Business Administration (“SBA”) loan production office in Pasadena, California. The Company’s corporate headquarters are located in Costa Mesa, California. The Bank, through its branches and web site at www.PPBI.neton the Internet, offers a broad array of deposit products and services for both commercial and consumer customers including checking, money market and savings accounts, cash management services, electronic banking, and on-line bill payment. Additionally, the Bank offers a wide array of loan products, such as commercial business loans, lines of credit, commercial real estate loans, SBA loans, residential home loans, and home equity loans. The Bank funds its lending and investment activities with retail deposits obtained through its branches, advances from the FHLB of San Francisco, lines of credit, and wholesale and brokered certificates of deposits.

The Company’s principal sources of income are the net spread between interest earned on loans and investments and the interest costs associated with deposits and other borrowings used to finance its loan and investment portfolio. Additionally, the Bank generates fee income from loan sales and various products and services offered to both depository and loan customers.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Management has established various accounting policies which govern the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America in the preparation of the Company’s financial statements. The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2006Annual Report on Form 10-K. Certain accounting policies require management to make estimates and assumptions which have a material impact on the carrying value of certain assets and liabilities; management considers these to be critical accounting policies. The estimates and assumptions management uses are based on historical experience and other factors, which management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ significantly from these estimates and assumptions, which could have a material impact on the carrying value of assets and liabilities at balance sheet dates and the Company’s results of operations for future reporting periods.

Management believes that the allowance for loan losses is the critical accounting policy that requires estimates and assumptions in the preparation of the Company’s financial statements that are most susceptible to significant change. For further information, see “Allowances for Loan Losses” discussed later in this document and in our 2006Annual Report on Form 10-K.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

The$1.1 million, or0.2%, increasein total assets is primarily due to an increasein cash and cash equivalents of $16.8 million which was partially offset by adecreasein loans held for investment of $16.4 million.

The Company reviewed individual securities classified as available for sale to determine whether a decline in fair value below the amortized cost basis is other-than-temporary. If it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to contractual terms of the debt security not impaired at acquisition, an other-than-temporary impairment shall be considered to have occurred. If an other-than-temporary impairment occurs, the cost basis of the security would have been written down to its fair value as the new cost basis and the write down accounted for as a realized loss. Management has determined that the unrealized losses on these securities are temporary in nature.

Loans

Gross loans outstanding totaled $592.3 million atMarch 31, 2007 compared to $607.6 million atDecember 31, 2006. The$15.3 million decreaseis primarily due to the Bank selling $57.8 million ofmulti-family loans and $5.9 millionof commercial real estate loans, which generated net gains of $1.0 million, and the prepayment of loans totaling $42.4 million, which generated loan servicing fee income of $223,000. Partially offsetting the loan sales and loan prepayments was the origination of$101.5 millionof new loans, consisting of $68.8 millionof multi-family, $5.6 millionof other residential loans, $10.1 millionof commercial real estate and land, $17.0 millionof business loans consisting of $300,000of commercial owner-occupied loans, $10.7 millionof commercial and industrial loans, and $6.0 millionof SBA loans. Management has utilized loan sales to manage its liquidity, interest rate risk, loan to deposit ratio, diversification of its loan portfolio, and net balance sheet growth, and expects to continue to do so for the foreseeable future. The Bank’s pipeline of new loans at March 31, 2007was$100.7 million.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses totaled $3.9 millionas ofMarch 31, 2007and$3.5 millionas ofDecember 31, 2006. The allowance for loan losses as a percent of nonperformingloans was 478.0%and558.8%as ofMarch 31, 2007andDecember 31, 2006, respectively. The decreasein allowance for loan losses as a percent of nonperformingloans of80.8%is primarily due to an increasein total nonperforming loans of $174,000fromDecember 31, 2006toMarch 31, 2007.

The Company’s determination of the level of the allowance for loan losses and, correspondingly, the provision for loan losses, rests upon various judgments and assumptions. The allowance for the one-to-four family residential loan portfolio is calculated based upon a historical delinquency migration analysis. The developed loss factors are assigned to a one-to-four family residential loan based on the loan’s geographic location and credit classification. For the multi-family and commercial real estate loan portfolio, the Bank analyzes and uses the 15 yearhistorical loan loss experience for California’s multi-family and commercial real estate secured loans compiled by the FDIC to determine its loss factors, since the Bank has not experienced any losses or delinquency on its own loans within this loan portfolio. For the commercial and industrial loan portfolio, along with the non-guaranteed portion of the SBA portfolio, the Bank bases the level of allowance on the type of collateral and 15 yearhistorical loan loss experience for commercial business loans compiled by the FDIC. Given the composition of the Company’s loan portfolio, the $3.9 millionallowance for loan losses was considered adequate to cover losses inherent in the Company’s loan portfolio at March 31, 2007. However, no assurance can be given that the Company will not, in any particular period, sustain loan losses that exceed the amount reserved, or that subsequent evaluation of the loan portfolio, in light of the prevailing factors, including economic conditions which may adversely affect the Company’s market area or other circumstances, will not require significant increases in the loan loss allowance. In addition, regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Bank’s allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may require the Bank to recognize additional provisions to increase the allowance or take charge-offs in anticipation of future losses.

The table below summarizes the activity of the Company’s allowance for loan losses for thethree months endedMarch 31, 2007 and2006:

Composition of Nonperforming Assets

The table below summarizes the Company’s composition of nonperforming assetsas of the dates indicated. Net nonperformingassets totaled $906,000atMarch 31, 2007and$712,000as ofDecember 31, 2006, or 0.12% and0.10%of total assets, respectively. Theincreasein the total nonperforming assets is primarily due toone $325,000 commercial real estate loan that was originated in 1997, and became 90 days delinquent in March 2007. The loan is in foreclosure and the Bank does not expect to suffer a loss on the disposition. All nonperforming assets consist of loans originated in or before the year 2000.

Liabilities and Stockholders’ Equity

Total liabilities of the Company increasedfrom$672.8 millionatDecember 31, 2006to$673.5 millionatMarch 31, 2007. Theincreaseis primarily due to increasesin total deposits and other liabilities of $8.7 millionand$407,000, respectively, which were partially offset by a decreasein other borrowings of$8.4 million.

The Company had $308.1 millionin FHLB advances and other borrowings as of March 31, 2007,compared to $316.5 millionin such borrowings at December 31, 2006. Advances from the FHLB are collateralized by pledges of certain real estate loans with an aggregate principal balance of $473.4 million atMarch 31, 2007. The Bank may borrow up to 45%of its assets under the line. Asof March 31, 2007, the maximum the Bank may borrow was $326.8 million, based on the Bank’s assets as ofDecember 31, 2006. The total cost of the Company’s borrowingsatMarch 31, 2007was5.26%,anincreaseof86 basis pointscomparedto the same period in 2006.

Depositsincreasedby$8.7 millionto$348.2 millionatMarch 31, 2007, compared to $339.5 millionof deposits at December 31, 2006. Theincreasein deposits is due to an increaseof$10.2 millionin retail certificate of deposits, which was partially offset by decreasesof$4.6 million in noninterest transaction accounts. The cost of deposits as of March 31, 2007was4.16%, anincreaseof11basis points since December 31, 2006.

During the three months endedMarch 31, 2007, the cost of funds increased 93basis points to 4.62%compared to the same period in 2006.

Total stockholders’ equity increased $458,000to$58.5 millionatMarch 31, 2007, compared to $58.0 millionatDecember 31, 2006, primarily due to net income of $945,000for the period, which was partially offset by the repurchase and retirement of50,000shares of the Company’s common stock.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Highlights for the three months endedMarch 31, 2007 and2006:

The Company recorded firstquarter net income of $945,000, or$0.14perdilutedshare, compared to net income of$1.7 million, or$0.26perdilutedshare, for the firstquarter of 2006, adecreaseof45.8%.All diluted earnings per share amounts have been adjusted to reflect the dilutive effect of all warrants and stock options, except for outstanding options whose exercise price exceeds the closing market price as of March 31, 2007. See Note 6 -Earnings Per Share.

Return on average assets (ROAA) for the three months endedMarch 31, 2007was0.52%compared to 1.02%for the same period in 2006. The Company's return on average equity (ROAE) for the three months endedMarch 31, 2007was6.42%compared to13.41%for the three months endedMarch 31, 2006. The Company’s basicanddilutedbook value per share increasedto$11.22and$9.29,respectively, at March 31, 2007, reflecting annualized increasesof6.89%and5.68%, respectively, from December 31, 2006. Options whose exercise price exceeds the closing market price as of March 31, 2007are excluded from the diluted book value calculation.

Net Interest Income

The Company’s earnings are derived predominately from net interest income, which is the difference between the interest income earned on interest-earning assets, primarily loans and securities, and the interest expense incurred on interest-bearing liabilities, primarily deposits and borrowings. The net interest margin is the net interest income divided by the average interest-earning assets.

For thethree months endedMarch 31, 2007, net interest income was $4.5 millioncompared to $4.6 millionfor the same period a year earlier. The decreasefor thethreemonth period is predominately attributable to a 32.8% growthin interest expense, from $5.8 millionto$7.6 million.The growthin interest expense was predominately attributable to increasesin average deposits outstanding of $9.7 millionand average borrowings of $27.4 million, as well as the increasein the average cost of deposits and borrowings of 80and106basis points, respectively, over the prior year period. Partially offsetting theincreasein interest expense was an increasein interest income for the three monthsendedMarch 31, 2007of16.9%, or$1.8 million. Theincreasein interest income was primarily attributable to a 13.8% increasein the average loan yield to 7.28%from6.40%, over the prior year period. The increasein loan yield is, in part, a direct reflection of the Bank’s focus on originating higher yielding loans to businesses within the Bank’s market area plus the selling of lower yielding multi-family loans.

The Company’s net interest margin for the quarterendedMarch 31, 2007was2.60%compared to2.79%for the same period a year ago. The decreasewas primarily attributable to increasesin the average cost of deposits and borrowings of 80and106basis points, respectively, which was partially offset by an increasein the average rate earned on loans of 88basis points. The increasein the cost of funds is attributable to the overall rising interest rate environment, which has lead to higher borrowing costassociated with the Bank’s FHLB advances. Additionally, strong competitor deposit pricing within the Bank’s primary markets have impacted the cost of deposits as well as consumers shifting money from their transaction accounts to higher paying certificates of deposits. At March 31, 2007, the Bank's loan portfolio was comprised of $549.8 millionofadjustable-rate loans, representing 92.8%of its total loan portfolio at such date. These loans, which include fixed-rate hybrid loans with initial terms of 3, 5, 7 and 10 years that become adjustable-rate loans after the initial fixed-rate period,have an overall average time to reprice of 23.7 months.

Provision for Loan Losses

Theprovisionfor loan losses was $299,000for thethree months endedMarch 31, 2007compared to zerofor the same period in 2006. For thethree monthsendedMarch 31, 2007, the provision increased primarily due to the overall shift in our loan portfolio mix towards more commercial real estate, business and SBA loans. Netrecoveriesfor thefirst quarterof2007were$21,000compared to $33,000for the same period in 2006. The Bank’s Loss Mitigation Department continues collection efforts on loans previously written-down and/or charged-off to maximize potential recoveries. See “Allowance for Loan Losses.”

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income was $1.7 millionfor thethree months endedMarch 31, 2007 compared to $946,000for the same period endedMarch 31, 2006. Theincreasesin noninterest income for the threemonth period is primarily due to increasesin gains from loan sales of $648,000compared to the same period in 2006.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expenses were $4.4 millionfor the three months ended March 31, 2007compared to $3.7 millionfor the quarter ended March 31, 2006. The increase in noninterest expense for the three months was the result of increases in compensation and benefits, legal expense, and other expenses of $413,000,$216,000, and$100,000, respectively, partially offset by a decrease of $79,000in loss on foreclosed real estate. The increases in compensation and other expenses are reflective of the Bank’s investments in its strategic expansion through de novo branching and the addition of experienced business bankers to staff its new locations. The increase in our legal expense is due to the establishment of a $150,000 reserve for a settlement of a lawsuit against the Company. The number of employees at the Bank grew from 97atMarch 31, 2006to116atMarch 31, 2007.

LIQUIDITY

The Bank’s primary sources of funds are principal and interest payments on loans, deposits and borrowings.

The Bank’s average liquidity ratios were 9.63%and 6.98%for the quarters ended March 31, 2007 and2006, respectively.

The Company’s cash flows are comprised of three primary classifications: cash flows from operating activities, investing activities and financing activities.

The Company’s most liquid assets are unrestricted cash and short-term investments.

At March 31, 2007, cash and cash equivalents totaled $33.8 millionand the market-value of the Bank’s investments in mortgage-backed securities and mutual funds totaled $60.1 million. The Company has other sources of liquidity, if a need for additional funds arises, including the utilization of FHLB advances, Federal Funds lines, credit facilities with Salomon Brothers and Pershing, and loan sales.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

The regulatory agencies require a minimum ratio of qualifying total capital to risk-adjusted assets of 8.0 percent and a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-adjusted assets of 4.0 percent. In addition to the risk-based guidelines, regulators require banking organizations to maintain a minimum amount of Tier 1 capital to total assets, referred to as the leverage ratio, of 4.0 percent. For a bank rated in the highest of the five categories used by regulators to rate banks, the minimum leverage ratio is 3.0 percent. In addition to these uniform risk-based capital guidelines that apply across the industry, the regulators have the discretion to set individual minimum capital requirements for specific institutions at rates significantly above the minimum guidelines and ratios.

The table in “Item 1. Financial Statements - Note 3 - “Regulatory Matters” reflects the Company’s and Bank’s capital ratios based on the end of the period covered by this report and the regulatory requirements to be adequately capitalized and well capitalized. As of March 31, 2007, the Bank met the capital ratios required to be considered well capitalized.
