ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION

The following discussion addresses information pertaining to the financial condition and results of operations of the Company that may not be otherwise apparent from a review of the consolidated financial statements and related footnotes. It should be read in conjunction with those statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report. The results of operations for the periods presented may not necessarily be indicative of future results.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). The financial information and disclosures contained within those statements are significantly impacted by Management's estimates, assumptions, and judgments. These estimates, assumptions, and judgments are based upon historical experience and various other factors available as of the date of the financial statements; accordingly, as this information changes, the financial statements could reflect different estimates, assumptions, and judgments. Certain policies inherently have a greater reliance on the use of estimates, assumptions and judgments and as such have a greater possibility of producing results that could be materially different than originally reported. In addition, GAAP itself may change from one previously acceptable method to another method.


The most significant accounting policies followed by the Company are presented in Note 1 to the audited consolidated financial statements. These policies, along with the disclosures presented in the other financial statement notes and in this discussion, provide information on how significant assets and liabilities are valued in the financial statements and how those values are determined.

Reorganization

On May 9, 2006, San Joaquin Bancorp, San Joaquin Bank, and San Joaquin Reorganization Corp. (the "Reorganization Corp."), a California corporation and wholly- owned subsidiary of the Bancorp, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization and Agreement of Merger (together, the "Agreements") pursuant to which the Reorganization Corp. would be merged with and into the Bank, with the Bank being the surviving corporation (the "Reorganization"). Upon consummation of the Reorganization, the Bank would become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Bancorp and the shareholders of the Bank would receive one share of Bancorp common stock in exchange for each share of Bank common stock held by such shareholder.

The Reorganization was approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Bank's common stock on June 20, 2006. Following receipt of all required approvals from applicable regulatory authorities, the Reorganization became effective as of the close of business on July 31, 2006. As a result of the Reorganization, the Bank became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the San Joaquin Bancorp and the one-for-one share exchange described above was completed. In addition, upon consummation of the Reorganization, San Joaquin Bancorp assumed all outstanding stock options of the Bank exercisable into shares of Bank common stock. Such stock options continue be subject to substantially the same terms and conditions of such stock options immediately prior to the consummation of the Reorganization, except that such options are now exercisable for Bancorp's common stock.

Prior to the Reorganization, the Bank's common stock was registered under
Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"). The Bank was subject to the information requirements of the Exchange Act and filed annual and quarterly reports, proxy statements and other information with the FDIC. As a result of the Reorganization, San Joaquin Bancorp became the successor to the Bank for securities reporting purposes and San Joaquin Bancorp's common stock became registered under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act.

The Bank continues doing business under the name San Joaquin Bank.

Overview

At December 31, 2007, the Company had total consolidated assets of $868,728,000, an increase of 16.0% compared to the $748,930,000 in assets at the end of 2006. Strong loan growth was the primary contributor to asset growth for the year. Total consolidated net loans were $689,190,000, an increase of 30.5%, compared to the $527,999,000 in net loans at year end 2006. The majority of the increase came from loans secured by real estate as the commercial market continued to grow at a steady pace in 2007. Total consolidated deposits were $716,073,000, an increase of 11.4% over the 2006 level of $642,654,000. Savings deposits made up the majority of the increase in deposits through direct efforts to raise additional deposits. Time deposits also increased because of increased use of funding under the State of California time deposit program. Consolidated shareholders' equity was $55,428,000, an increase of 20.8% compared to $45,866,000 at the end of 2006. The increase was mostly due to earnings in 2007.

Overall, the Company believes it executed its plan of loan and deposit growth successfully in an environment that was both competitive and challenging.

We reported record annual net income of $9,418,000 for the year ended December 31, 2007. Net income increased $944,000, or 11.1%, over the $8,474,000 reported in 2006, which was an increase of $1,850,000, or 27.9%, from the $6,624,000 reported in 2005. The majority of the increase in 2007 came from increased net interest income and a reduction in the provision for loan losses. Diluted earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2007 increased 10.9% to $2.54 compared to the $2.29 for 2006, which was an increase of 26.5% from $1.81 in 2005.

For the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005, annualized return on average assets was 1.21%, 1.26%, and 1.18%, respectively. The annualized return on average equity (ROAE) was 18.76%, 19.48%, and 18.43% for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively. ROAE has averaged over 18% for the past five years. Based on its consistent ROAE, the Company was ranked one of the top 10 community banks in the United States with assets of less than $1 billion by US Banker Magazine in 2007 and 2008.


We ended 2007 with a Tier 1 capital ratio of 8.05%, a Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted asset ratio of 8.49%, and a total capital to risk weighted asset ratio of 10.43% . At the end of 2006, these ratios were 8.24%, 9.16% and 11.37%, respectively. We met all the criteria under current regulatory guidelines for a "well capitalized" bank holding company as of December 31, 2007.

The year ending December 31, 2007 marked the 24th consecutive year of record profits for the Company. The Bank continued to be a leader in market share gains for Kern County, with a deposit share of 12.3% at mid-year 2007, up from 10.5% for the same period in 2006. Measured by assets at December 31, 2007, San Joaquin Bank is the fourth largest of twenty-two FDIC-insured financial institutions in Kern County, based upon total deposits.

During 2007 and 2006, the need for noncore funding, such as Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") advances, brokered deposits, and time certificates of deposit in the form of public funds, increased as loan growth outpaced deposit growth. This increased need for funding alternatives at higher interest rates resulted in a greater increase in interest expense year-over-year than would have resulted otherwise from core funding such as demand, NOW, money market, savings, and time certificates of deposit under $100,000.


The following table provides a summary of the major elements of income and expense for the three years ended December 31:

Net Interest Income

Net interest income, the difference between interest earned on loans and investments and interest paid on deposits and other borrowings, is the principal component of our earnings. The following tables provide a summary of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities with their corresponding components of net interest income and the changes within the components for the periods indicated. The second and third tables set forth changes in interest income and interest expense segregated for major categories of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities into amounts attributable to changes in volume (volume) and changes in rates (rate). Changes not solely attributable to volume or rates have been allocated in proportion to the respective volume and rate components.

1) Loan interest income includes fee income of $1,859,000, $1,967,000, and $1,907,000 for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively. Includes nonperforming and restructured loans of $5,068,000, $153,000, and $727,000 for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively.

2) Applicable nontaxable securities yields are not material to the Company's results of operations, therefore there have been no adjustments made to reflect interest earned on these securities on a tax-equivalent basis.

3) Net interest margin is computed by dividing net interest income by the total average earning assets.

1) Loan interest income includes fee income of $1,859,000, $1,967,000, and $1,907,000 for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively.

2) Applicable nontaxable securities yields are not material to the Company's results of operations, therefore there have been no adjustments made to reflect interest earned on these securities on a tax-equivalent basis.

Net interest income, before provision for loan losses, for the year ended December 31, 2007 was $30,345,000, an increase of $1,645,000 (5.7%) compared to $28,700,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006, which increased $5,477,000 (23.6%) over $23,223,000 for the year ended December 31, 2005.

2007 Compared to 2006

Total interest income for the year ended December 31, 2007 was $55,657,000 compared to $46,528,000 for the same period of 2006, an increase of $9,129,000, or 19.6% . Changes in interest income are the result of changes in the average balances and changes in average yields on earning assets. During 2007, total average earning assets were $722,595,000 compared to


$623,803,000 in 2006, an increase of $98,792,000, or 15.8% . This increase in average earning assets resulted in an increase of $9,592,000 in interest income. During the same period, the average rate paid on earning assets increased from 7.46% to 7.70%, or 24 basis points. This increase in average yield on total earning assets was due to both changes in the yields on individual earning asset categories and changes in the mix of earning assets. Although the yield on total earning assets increased on average, a decrease in the yield on loans, the largest category of earning assets, resulted in an overall net decrease of $463,000 in interest income due to the change in average yield on total earning assets. Loans contributed to the majority of the change in interest income and were partially offset by declines in taxable investment securities and declines in Federal Funds sold and other interest-bearing balances. Year-over-year, we experienced changes in average balances and average yields on these balances as follows:

Average loans increased $130,364,000, or 28.3%, from $461,346,000 at December 31, 2006 to $591,710,000 at December 31, 2007, increasing interest income by $11,008,000 for the year ended December 31, 2007. During that same year-over-year period, the average yield on loans decreased by 16 basis points, resulting in a decrease in interest income on loans of $713,000. The combined effect was an increase of $10,295,000 in interest income earned on average loans during 2007 compared to 2006.

Average taxable investment securities decreased from $148,570,000 at December 31, 2006 to $123,060,000 at December 31, 2007, a decrease of $25,510,000, or 17.2% . This decrease in taxable investment securities caused interest income to decrease by $1,112,000 during 2007 compared to 2006. The yield on taxable investment securities increased by 14 basis points during this year-over-year period, increasing interest income on taxable investment securities by $204,000 during the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to the year ended December 31, 2006. These two factors resulted in a net decrease in interest earned on taxable investment securities of $908,000 in 2007 versus the same period of 2006.

Average federal funds sold and other interest-bearing balances decreased by . . .
