INTRODUCTORY NOTE – FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

This report contains certain statements that are forward-looking within the meaning of section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Actual outcomes and results may differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, the forward-looking statements. These statements are often, but not always, made through the use of words or phrases such as “may,” “should,” “could,” “predict,” “potential,” “believe,” “will likely result,” “expect,” “will continue,” “anticipate,” “seek,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “projection,” “would” and “outlook,” and other similar expressions or future or conditional verbs. Readers of this quarterly report should not rely solely on the forward-looking statements and should consider all uncertainties and risks throughout this report. The statements are representative only as of the date they are made, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement.

These forward-looking statements, implicitly and explicitly, include the assumptions underlying the statements and other information with respect to the Company’s beliefs, plans, objectives, goals, expectations, anticipations, estimates, financial condition, results of operations, future performance and business, including management’s expectations and estimates with respect to revenues, expenses, return on equity, return on assets, efficiency ratio, asset quality and other financial data and capital and performance ratios.

Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, these statements involve risks and uncertainties that are subject to change based on various important factors, some of which are beyond the control of the Company and the Board. The following factors, among others, could cause the Company’s results or financial performance to differ materially from its goals, plans, objectives, intentions, expectations and other forward-looking statements:

·	the loss of key personnel;

·	the failure of assumptions;

·	changes in various monetary and fiscal policies and regulations;

·	changes in policies by regulatory agencies and other governmental initiatives affecting the financial services industry;

·	changes in general economic conditions and economic conditions in Southern California;

·	adverse changes in the local real estate market and the value of real estate collateral securing a substantial portion of the Bank’s loan portfolio;

·	changes in the availability of funds resulting in increased costs or reduced liquidity;

·	the combination of continuing asset growth and lack of profitability could change the Bank’s status from well-capitalized to adequately-capitalized, resulting in higher FDIC insurance premiums and restrictions on the amount of brokered deposits the Bank could hold;

·	geopolitical conditions, including acts or threats of terrorism, actions taken by the United States or other governments in response to acts or threats of terrorism and/or military conflicts which could impact business and economics in the United States and abroad;

·	changes in market rates and prices which may adversely impact the value of financial products including securities, loans, deposits, debt and derivative financial instruments and other similar financial instruments;

·	fluctuations in the interest rate environment, and changes in the relative differences between short- and long-term interest rates, which may reduce interest margins and impact funding sources;

·	changes in the quality or composition of our loan or investment portfolios;

·	changes in the level of our non-performing loans and other loans of concern;

·	competition from bank and non-bank competitors;

·	the ability to develop and introduce new banking-related products, services and enhancements and gain market acceptance of such products;

·	the ability to grow our core businesses;

·	decisions to change or adopt new business strategies;

·	changes in tax laws, rules and regulations and interpretations thereof;

·	technological changes;

·	the cost and outcome of any litigation;

·	changes in consumer spending and savings habits; and

·	management’s ability to manage these and other risks.

These factors and the risk factors referred to in “Business-Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB filed with the SEC (and available free of charge through www.sec.gov ) for the year ended December 31, 2007 and in Item 1A of this Form 10-Q could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by the Company, and you should not place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made and the Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement or statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which such statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict which factors, if any, will arise. In addition, the Company cannot assess the impact of each factor on the Company’s business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.

Unless the context indicates otherwise, as used throughout this report, the terms “we”, “our”, “us”, or the “Company” refer to Pacific Coast National Bancorp and its consolidated subsidiary, Pacific Coast National Bank. References to the “Bank” refer to Pacific Coast National Bank.

PACIFIC COAST NATIONAL BANCORP

CONDENSED NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, the Bank. All significant inter-company accounts have been eliminated on consolidation.

The accounting principles followed by the Company and the methods of applying these principles conform with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP, and with general practices within the banking industry. In preparing financial statements in conformity with GAAP, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. Material estimates common to the banking industry that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term include, but are not limited to, the determination of the allowance for loan losses, the estimation of compensation expense related to stock options granted to employees and directors, and valuation allowances associated with deferred tax assets, the recognition of which are based on future taxable income.

The consolidated interim financial statements included in this report are unaudited but reflect all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations for the interim periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results of a full year’s operations. For further information, refer to the audited financial statements and footnotes included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2007.

Note 2 – Loss Per Share

Loss per common share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The effects of potential common shares outstanding during the period would be included in diluted loss per share; however, the effect of potential shares would be antidilutive during the periods presented. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, the conversion of approximately no and 1,000, respectively, common shares issuable upon exercise of the employee stock options and common stock warrants have not been included in the 2008 loss per share computation because their inclusion would have been antidilutive on loss per share. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, the conversion of approximately 12,500 and 366,000, respectively, common shares issuable upon exercise of the employee stock options and common stock warrants have not been included in the 2007 loss per share computation because their inclusion would have been antidilutive on loss per share.

Note 3 – Stock-Based Compensation

The Company follows SFAS 123(R), “Share-Based Payment” utilizing the modified prospective approach. SFAS 123(R) applies to new awards and to awards that were outstanding on January 1, 2006 that are subsequently repurchased or cancelled. Under the modified prospective approach, compensation cost recognized includes compensation cost for all share-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS 123, and compensation cost for all share-based payments granted subsequent to January 1, 2006, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123(R). Prior periods were not restated to reflect the impact of adopting the new standard.

As of September 30, 2008, there was approximately $40 thousand of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 1 year.

The fair value at the grant date of stock-based awards to employees is calculated through the use of option-pricing models, even though such models were developed to estimate the fair value of freely tradable fully transferable options with vesting restrictions which significantly differ from the Company’s stock option awards. These models also require subjective assumptions, including future stock price volatility and expected time to exercise, which greatly affect the calculated value.

Outstanding unvested stock options generally vest ratably over three years based upon continuous service. The Company accounts for these grants as separate grants and recognizes share-based compensation cost using the straight-line method for each separate vesting portion.

Note 4 – Fair Value Measurements

SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements , which the Company adopted effective January 1, 2008, defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurement and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. The three levels are defined as follow:

Level 1: Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2: Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

Level 3: Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy:

Assets

Impaired loans

SFAS No. 157 applies to loans measured for impairment using the practical expedients permitted by SFAS No. 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan , including impaired loans measured at an observable market price (if available), or at the fair value of the loan’s collateral (if the loan is collateral dependent). Fair value of the loan’s collateral, when the loan is dependent on collateral, is determined by appraisals or independent valuation which is then adjusted for the cost related to liquidation of the collateral. At September 30, 2008, we had ten loans that were considered impaired for a total of $7.0 million. Upon being classified as impaired, charge offs were taken to reduce the balance of each loan to an estimate of the collateral fair market value less cost to dispose. This estimate was a level 3 valuation. There was no direct impact on the income statement. The charge-offs were recorded as a reduction in the allowance for loan losses.

Note 5 – Loans

The composition of the loan portfolio at September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, was as follows:

	September 30, 2008					December 31, 2007
Real estate	(Dollars in thousands)
1-4 residential (1)	$	5,512		4.2	%	$	2,655		2.7	%

Consumer		167		0.1	%		327		0.3	%
		129,961		100	%		97,644		100	%
Net deferred loan costs, premiums and discounts		384					230
Allowance for loan losses		( 1,728	)				( 1,815	)
	$	128,617				$	96,059

(1) Comprised of second mortgage home loans under home equity lines of credit.

At September 30, 2008, and December 31, 2007, the Bank had total commitments to lend outstanding of $37.3 million and $29.5 million respectively.

Management evaluates loan impairment according to the provisions of SFAS No. 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan. Under SFAS No. 114, loans are considered impaired when it is probable that we will be unable to collect all amounts due as scheduled according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement, including contractual interest and principal payments. Impaired loans are measured for impairment based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, or, alternatively, at the loan’s observable market price or the fair value of the collateral of the loan is collateralized, less costs to sell.

At September 30, 2008, the Bank had five construction loans with outstanding balances of $4.9 million, four commercial loans with outstanding balances of $2.0 million, and one consumer loan with an outstanding balance of $89 thousand, all of which were considered impaired compared to two construction loans which were considered impaired at December 31, 2007 for $2.5 million.

One construction loan for $1.0 million was excluded from the impaired loan totals as it is in escrow at this time. The escrow is expected to close on or about November 14, 2008. If the property is not sold, the $1.0 million would be added to the impaired loan total. At this time the collateral is valued higher than the outstanding loan amount. Therefore no additional reserves would be required. If property values continue to decline, however, this could change.

If a loan is real-estate collateral-dependent and considered impaired, the outstanding principal is reduced through a charge off to the estimated fair value, which may be the property’s bulk-sale value, less costs to sell. Once the loss has been recognized, no additional reserves for losses are taken for these loans, however additional charge-offs could be required if there is continued deterioration in collateral value. Therefore, the related allowance for loan losses on impaired loans represents only the allowance for non-real estate collateral dependent loans. As of September 30, 2008, six impaired loans for $3.1 million were not considered real-estate collateral-dependent and had allowances for losses totaling $648 thousand.

The following table provides information on impaired loans:

Note 7 – Income Taxes

We adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an interpretation of FASB State No. 109 , or FIN 48, on January 1, 2007. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes . FIN 48 prescribes a threshold and a measurement process for recognizing in the financial statements a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. We have determined that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in our financial statements.

The Company will classify any interest required to be paid on an underpayment of income taxes as interest expense. Any penalties assessed by a taxing authority will be classified as other expense.

No federal or state tax expense or benefit has been recorded for the quarters ended September 2008 and 2007 due to the Company’s operating losses.

Note 8 - Current Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued Statement No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (SFAS 157). SFAS No. 157 defines the fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure of fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements and accordingly, does not require any new fair value measurements. We adopted SFAS No. 157 as of January 1, 2008 and the adoption did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements or results of operations of the Company.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115”. SFAS 159 permits an entity to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. Most of the provisions of SFAS 159 are elective; however, the amendment to SFAS 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities”, applies to all entities with available for sale or trading securities. For financial instruments elected to be accounted for at fair value, an entity will report the unrealized gains and losses in earnings. We adopted SFAS No. 159 on January 1, 2008. We chose not to elect the option to measure the fair value of eligible financial assets and liabilities.

Note 9 – Sale of Stock

The Company recently completed a private placement transaction in which it sold an aggregate of 25 units, for an aggregate purchase price of $1,250,000 ($50,000 per unit), consisting of an aggregate of 263,150 shares of the Company's common stock (10,526 shares per unit) and warrants, exercisable for three years, to purchase an aggregate of 52,650 shares of the Company's common stock (2,106 shares per unit) at an exercise price of $4.75 per share. Twenty units were sold in September 2008 (13 of which, for $650,000, were purchased by directors and an executive officer of the Company) and five units were sold in November 2008. The offering resulted in net proceeds of approximately $848 thousand as of September 30, 2008, and an additional $236 thousand by November 4, 2008.

Note 10– Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made in the 2007 consolidated financial statements and footnotes to conform to the presentation used in 2008 with no change to previously reported net loss or shareholders’ equity.

ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis address the Company’s consolidated financial condition as of September 30, 2008 compared to December 31, 2007, and results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007. The discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes related thereto which appear elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our accounting policies are integral to understanding the results reported. In preparing our consolidated financial statements, the Company is required to make judgments and estimates that may have a significant impact upon our reported financial results. Certain accounting policies require the Company to make significant estimates and assumptions, which have a material impact on the carrying value of certain assets and liabilities, and are considered critical accounting policies. The estimates and assumptions used are based on historical experiences and other factors, which are believed 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 the balance sheet dates and results of operations for the reporting periods. For example, the Company’s determination of the adequacy of its allowance for loan losses is particularly susceptible to management’s judgment and estimates. The following is a brief description of the Company’s current accounting policies involving significant management valuation judgments.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses represents management’s best estimate of probable losses inherent in the existing loan portfolio. The allowance for loan losses is increased by the provision for loan losses charged to expense and reduced by loans charged off, net of recoveries. The provision for loan losses is determined based on management’s assessment of several factors including, among others, the following: reviews and evaluations of specific loans, changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, current and anticipated economic conditions and the related impact on specific borrowers and industry groups, historical loan loss experiences, the levels of classified and nonperforming loans and the results of regulatory examinations.

The adequacy of the allowance is determined using two different methods to determine a range. The first method involves classifying the loans by type and applying historical loss rates using an 8 year rolling average determined from Call Report data for all banks obtained from the Federal Reserve Board (“FRB”) website. To this

number is added the reserves for loans classified as substandard, substandard non-accrual, and doubtful, as established by management. The second method involves classifying the portfolio by risk weighting and applying a loss factor for each rating, again using the FRB historic database to determine appropriate factors as the Bank has limited loss history. Again, the related reserves for the loans classified as substandard, substandard non-accrual, and doubtful, are added to the general allowance to arrive at a total allowance. In addition, qualitative, or “Q”, factors are used to adjust the general allowance. These Q factors include changes in lending policies and procedures, in national and local economic conditions, in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, in the tenure of the lending staff, in the non-performing loans, and in the quality of the loan review system. In addition, the existence and effect of concentrations within the portfolio and the effect of external factors are also taken into account

The loan loss allowance is based on the most current review of the loan portfolio at that time. The servicing officer has the primary responsibility for updating significant changes in a customer’s financial position. Each officer prepares status updates on any credit deemed to be experiencing repayment difficulties which, in the officer’s opinion, would place the collection of principal or interest in doubt. The internal loan review department for the Bank is responsible for an ongoing review of its entire loan portfolio with specific goals set for the volume of loans to be reviewed on an annual basis.

At each review of a credit, a subjective analysis methodology is used to grade the respective loan. Categories of grading vary in severity to include loans which do not appear to have a significant probability of loss at the time of review to grades which indicate a probability that the entire balance of the loan will be uncollectible. If full collection of the loan balance appears unlikely at the time of review, estimates or appraisals of the collateral securing the debt are used to allocate the necessary allowances. A list of loans or loan relationships of $150 thousand or more, which are graded as having more than the normal degree of risk associated with them, is maintained by the internal loan review officer. This list is updated on a periodic basis, but no less than quarterly in order to properly allocate the necessary allowance and keep management informed on the status of attempts to correct the deficiencies noted in the credit.

Loans are considered impaired if, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. The measurement of impaired loans is generally based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the historical effective interest rate stipulated in the loan agreement, except that all collateral-dependent loans are measured for impairment based on the fair value of the collateral, less estimated costs to dispose of the asset. In measuring the fair value of the collateral, management uses assumptions (e.g., discount rates) and methodologies (e.g., comparison to the recent selling price of similar assets) consistent with those that would be utilized by unrelated third parties.

Changes in the financial condition of individual borrowers, in economic conditions, in historical loss experience and in the condition of the various markets in which collateral may be sold may all affect the required level of the allowance for loan losses and the associated provision for loan losses.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based employee compensation as prescribed by SFAS 123(R), Share-Based Payment . SFAS 123(R) requires compensation costs related to share-based payment transactions to be recognized in the financial statements over the period that an employee provides service in exchange for the award.

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair values of the options granted. The estimates that are a part of the calculation for the compensation costs include the average life of the stock options, the future price of the Company’s stock when the options are exercised, and the average forfeiture rate of pre-vested options. These estimates have significant influence over the final expense and the Company does not have a history on which to base these assumptions. Please refer to Note H – Stock Options of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of the December 31, 2007 10-KSB.

Deferred Tax Assets

Management estimates the need for a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets by comparing the total recorded to the amount available for carry back and the amount that will be utilized by estimated future earnings.

Executive Overview

Introduction

Pacific Coast National Bancorp is a bank holding company headquartered in San Clemente, California, offering a broad array of banking services through its wholly owned banking subsidiary, Pacific Coast National Bank. In 2005, the Company completed an initial public offering of its common stock, issuing 2,280,000 shares at a price of $10.00 per share. The net proceeds received from the offering were approximately $20.5 million. The Bank opened for business on May 16, 2005.

The Bank’s principal markets include the coastal regions of Southern Orange County and Northern San Diego County, California. As of September 30, 2008, the Company had, on a consolidated basis, total assets of $138.1 million, net loans of $128.6 million, total deposits of $124.3 million, and shareholders’ equity of $12.2 million. The Bank currently operates through a main branch office located at 905 Calle Amanecer in San Clemente, California and a branch office at 499 North El Camino Real in Encinitas, California.

The Company incurred a net loss for the third q uarter of 200 8 of $ (38 6) thousand or $ ( 0. 17) per share, as compared to a net loss of $ (580) thousand or $ ( 0. 25) per share , during the same period of 200 7 . The improvement in the 2008 quarter was primarily attributable to a 52% increase in the net interest income due to an incre ase in earning assets, partially offset by a 3% increase in non-interest expenses and a provision for loan losses which increased by 92%

The Company incurred a net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 of $ (1.6) million or $ ( 0. 71) per share, as compared to a net loss of $ (2.5) million or $ (1.11) per share , during the same period of 200 7 . The improvement in the 2008 period was primarily attributable to a 66% increase in the net interest income due to an increase in earning assets and a 78% increa se in non-interest income due primarily to gain on sales of SBA loans, partially offset by a 10% increase in non-interest expenses and a 99% increase in the provision for loan losses.

The following discussion focuses on the Company’s financial condition as of September 30, 2008 compared to December 31, 2007 and results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007.

Results of Operations

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

Net interest income is the difference between interest income, principally from our loan portfolio, and interest expense, principally on customer deposits. Net interest income is the Bank’s principal source of earnings. Changes in net interest income result from changes in volume, spread and margin. Volume refers to the average dollar level of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Spread refers to the difference between the average yield on interest-earning assets and the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities. Margin refers to net interest income divided by average interest-earning assets, and is influenced by the level and relative mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.

Net interest income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, before the provision for loan losses was $1.5 million and $4.1 million compared to $986 thousand and $2.4 million for the same time periods in 2007. This growth was attributable to the increase in the volume of earning assets and the greater percentage of loans comprising earning assets in the 2008 periods.

During the three months ended September 30, 2008, loans accounted for 95% of average earning assets, with a weighted average yield of 6.94%, compared to the same period in 2007 when 88% of the average earning assets were loans, with a weighted average yield of 8.33%. The increase in loans as a percentage of average earning assets occurred primarily as a result of significantly increased loan originations in the second half of 2007 and the first nine months of 2008. The decrease in the average yield resulted primarily from the decrease in market rates prompted by the actions of the Federal Reserve Board over the last year. Total loan interest income was $2.2 million, including net loan fees of $135 thousand, for the three months ended September 30, 2008 compared to $1.4 million in total loan interest income, including $16 thousand in net loan costs, for the same period in 2007.

During the first nine months of 2008, loans accounted for 92% of average earning assets, with a weighted average yield of 7.20%, compared to the first nine months of 2007 when 77% of the average earning assets were loans, with a weighted average yield of 8.22%. The increase in loans as a percentage of average earning assets occurred primarily as a result of significantly increased loan originations in the second half of 2007 and the first nine months of 2008. The decrease in the average yield resulted primarily from the decrease in market rates prompted by the actions of the Federal Reserve Board over the last year. Total loan interest income was $6.2 million, including net loan fees of $323 thousand, for the first nine months of 2008 compared to $3.0 million in total loan interest income, including $(5) thousand in net loan costs, in the first nine months of 2007.

Other earning assets may from time to time consist of investments, capital stock of the Federal Reserve Bank, time deposits with other financial institutions and overnight fed funds. For the three months ended September 30, 2008, fed funds sold averaged $6.4 million with an average yield of 2.06% compared to the same period in 2007 with average fed funds sold of $9.0 million with an average yield of 5.06%. The remaining earning assets for the three months ended September 30, 2008, consisted of stock in the Federal Reserve Bank with an average yield of 5.95% compared to the same period in 2007 with other earning assets consisting of stock in the Federal Reserve Bank averaging $454 thousand with an average yield of 6.18%. The decrease in the average yields resulted primarily from the decrease in market rates prompted by the actions of the Federal Reserve Board over the last year.

For the first nine months of 2008, fed funds sold averaged $10.0 million with an average yield of 2.41% compared to the first nine months of 2007 with average fed funds sold of $11.5 million with an average yield of 5.39%. The remaining earning assets for the first nine months of 2008 consisted of stock in the Federal Reserve Bank with an average yield of 5.99% compared to the first nine months of 2007 with other earning assets consisting of investment securities and stock in the Federal Reserve Bank averaging $3.5 million with an average yield of 6.18%.

Interest-bearing liabilities, consisting of deposits and fed funds purchased, averaged $99.9 million with an average rate of 2.98% during the three months ended September 30, 2008, compared with $48.0 million in interest-bearing deposits at a rate of 4.50% for the same period in 2007. The decrease in the average rate on deposit products was the result of decreases in market rates as a result of actions taken by the Federal Reserve Board in recent months, offset by higher-rate time deposits obtained through brokers. The increase in deposits was a result of our marketing campaign, the cross-selling of deposit products to our borrowers, direct sales calls and the utilization of brokered deposits to fund increased loan originations.

Interest-bearing liabilities averaged $92.3 million with an average rate of 3.31% during the first nine months of 2008, compared with $37.9 million in interest-bearing deposits at a rate of 4.28% for the same period in 2007. The decrease in the average rate on deposit products was the result of decreases in market rates as a result of actions taken by the Federal Reserve Board in recent months, offset by higher-rate time deposits obtained through brokers. The increase in deposits was a result of our marketing campaign, the cross-selling of deposit products to our borrowers, direct sales calls and the utilization of brokered deposits to fund increased loan originations.

Due to strong loan demand, we began utilizing brokered deposits in the second quarter of 2007. As discussed under “Capital Resources and Capital Adequacy Management”, we seek to limit the amount of brokered deposits as their utilization typically would be expected to increase our overall cost of funds. As of September 30, 2008, $19.7 million in brokered funds were on deposit with an average rate of 3.4%, compared with $11.2 million in brokered funds on deposit as of September 30, 2007, with an average rate of 5.4%, and $28.2 million in brokered funds as of December 31, 2007, with an average rate of 4.9%.

During the third quarter of 2008 and in response to customer demand, we began offering reciprocal deposits through the CDAR program. This program allows a customer to deposit funds in excess of the FDIC insurance through Pacific Coast National Bank into other financial institutions. These institutions place reciprocal

deposits with the Bank, maximizing the FDIC insurance coverage. As of September 30, 2008, $2.2 million shown as brokered funds were reciprocal deposits.

Non-interest bearing demand account balances averaged $25.2 million and $22.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, representing 20% of total deposits in each period. This compares with $17.8 million and $16.4 million for the same periods in 2007, representing 27% and 30% respectively of total deposits in each period. While the dollar amount of demand deposits continues to increase, the percentage of demand deposits to total deposits has decreased. This is the result of a significant increase in money market accounts and the increase in time deposits to maintain liquidity as the loan portfolio has grown. The growth in money market accounts was the result of marketing efforts of new personnel in the San Clemente office, which has allowed us to not renew some brokered time deposits as they have matured.

The net interest margin was 4.47% and 4.35% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, compared to 5.12% and 5.07% for the same periods in 2007. We earned $1.5 million in net interest income on average interest-earning assets of $133.1 million and $4.1 million on average earning assets of $124.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008. For the same periods in 2007, we earned $986 thousand on average interest-earning assets of $76.5 million and $2.4 million on average interest-earning assets of $64.2 million, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to the same periods in 2007, net interest income before provision for loan losses increased by $597 thousand due to the increase in volume of earning assets, and decreased by $83 thousand due to changes in interest rates, and increased by $1.9 million due to the increase in volume of earning assets, and decreased by $244 thousand due to changes in interest rates.

The following tables set forth our average balances of assets, liabilities and shareholders’ equity, in addition to the major components of net interest income and the net interest margin for the three and nine month periods indicated.

Provision for Loan Losses

A provision for loan losses is determined that is considered sufficient to maintain an allowance to absorb probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio as of the balance sheet date. For additional information concerning this determination, see the section of this discussion and analysis captioned “Allowance for Loan Losses.”

In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, the provision for loan losses was $489 thousand and $1.1 million compared to $254 thousand and $572 thousand, respectively.

There were eight loans for $5.5 million on nonaccrual, one impaired loan for $562 thousand still accruing interest and one restructured loan for $954 thousand for a total of $7.0 million in loans considered impaired as of September 30, 2008. During the three months ended September 30, 2008, one commercial loan for $350 thousand previously reported as impaired was charged off and a recovery of $174 thousand on a charged-off construction loan was received. There were no charge-offs, recoveries or non-performing loans during the same periods in 2007.

The allowance for loan losses is determined based on management’s assessment of several factors including, among others, the following: review and evaluation of individual loans, changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, current economic conditions and the related impact on specific borrowers and industry groups, historical loan loss experiences and the levels of classified and nonperforming loans. Because the Bank has insufficient history on which to build assumptions for future loan losses, a national bank peer group average is also used to estimate adequate levels of loan loss reserves.

Noninterest Income

Non-interest income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 was $279 thousand including $249 thousand from gain on sale of the guaranteed portion of SBA loans, and $831 thousand including $667 thousand from gain on sale of the guaranteed portion of SBA loans, respectively. For the same periods in 2007, non-interest income was $318 thousand including $187 thousand from gain on sale of the guaranteed portion of SBA loans, and $465 thousand including $320 thousand from gain on sale of the guaranteed portion of SBA loans. Loan brokerage fees were $0 thousand and $90 thousand for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to $114 thousand for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2007. The decrease in loan broker fees is the result of the sharp decrease in the number of financial institutions willing to extend credit on real estate-collateralized projects. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, we had a loss on the sale of available-for-sale securities of $0 and $12 thousand, respectively. Fees on deposit accounts make up the remainder of the noninterest income for all periods, and the increases in these fees during the 2008 periods were due to the increase in the volume of deposits. Deposit fees and service charges were $30 thousand, $73 thousand, $17 thousand and $43 thousand for the three and nine month periods of 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Noninterest Expense

Total noninterest expense was $1.7 million and $5.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively, compared to $1.6 million and $4.9 million for the same periods in 2007. The major components of the expense are discussed below. Our infrastructure, personnel and fixed operating base can support a substantially larger asset base. As a result, we believe we can cost-effectively grow and control noninterest expenses relative to revenue growth.

Salaries and employee benefits totaled $921 thousand for the third quarter, and $3.0 million for the first nine months of 2008 compared to $903 thousand and $2.7 million for the third quarter and first nine months of 2007. Included in this category for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 were $11 thousand and $176 thousand representing a portion of the expense for the employee stock options granted from May 16, 2005, through September 30, 2008. In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, this expense was $92 thousand and $618 thousand. Excluding the expense associated with stock options, salaries and employee benefits increased by $100 thousand and $764 thousand, respectively in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared with the same periods in 2007. The increase occurred due to the hiring of additional personnel to accommodate the growth in the Bank’s customer base, but is also the result of the implementation of FAS No. 91 in the second quarter of 2007. In the second quarter of 2007, FAS No. 91 was implemented resulting in recovered salary costs associated with loan generation of $281 thousand. This expense represented the costs for loans outstanding at the time of implementation. Employee benefit costs including employer taxes and group insurance accounted for approximately 17% of the salary and employee benefits expense in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, compared to 18% in the same periods in 2007. The Bank employed 37 full-time equivalent

(FTE) employees as of September 30, 2008 compared to 38 FTE as of September 30, 2007. The volume of assets per employee as of the end of the third quarter of 2008 was $3,730,000 compared to $2,362,000 at the end of September 2007.

Occupancy and equipment expenses totaled $232 thousand and $720 thousand for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, compared to $229 thousand and $741 thousand for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007. Depreciation expense of fixed asset and tenant improvements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, were $132 thousand and $321 thousand compared to the same periods in 2007 of $89 thousand and $265 thousand.

Professional fees for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, were $108 thousand and $331 thousand compared to $159 thousand and $394 thousand for the same time periods in 2007. The decrease in 2008 is primarily due to reduced legal fees resulting from a fixed-fee contract and a reduction in the use of consultants related to preparation for compliance with Sarbanes-Oxley.

A summary of other expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 is as follows:

	Three Months Ended September 30, 2008	Three Months Ended September 30, 2007	Nine Months Ended September 30, 2008	Nine Months Ended September 30, 2007

Data Processing	$ 123,238	$ 115,467	$ 405,198	$ 311,394
Office Expenses	105,258	93,586	351,503	242,275

	$ 414,104	$ 340,100	$ 1,279,402	$ 1,028,267

(1) Consists primarily of costs associated with training conferences and director stock option expense.
(2) Consists primarily of costs associated with recruiting expenses and the annual meeting printing and mailing costs.

Data processing expenses increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to the same periods in 2007 due primarily to costs associated with new cash management products for deposit customers such as Remote Deposit Capture and online wire originations. Network administration fees have increased as the Bank has increased capacity by automating more processes rather than increasing staff. Beginning in the third quarter of 2008 some of the network administration duties have been brought in-house, resulting in reduced data processing costs.

Office Expenses increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to the same periods in 2007 due primarily to auto expenses, which have increased due to the cost of fuel and an increase in the number of business development staff, armored and courier expenses, which have increased as the Bank’s customer base has grown, and correspondent bank charges, due to increased activity in these accounts and reduced earnings credits.

Marketing expenses have increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to the same periods in 2007 due primarily to an enhanced quarterly newsletter with expanded distribution, and an increased number of press releases.

Regulatory assessments have increased as we have grown. Assessments are paid to the FDIC and the OCC based on quarterly reported numbers.

Director-related expenses decreased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to the same periods in 2007 due primarily director stock option expenses. In 2007, the directors were given stock

options in lieu of cash compensation which were immediately vested. Director stock option expense for the first nine months of 2007 was $60 thousand, compared with $7 thousand for the same period in 2008. No options in lieu of cash compensation have been granted to the directors in 2008.

Income Taxes

Two thousand in state taxes were paid during the second quarter of 2008 and 2007. No federal tax expense or federal or state tax benefit has been recorded for the quarters ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 based upon net operating losses. We will begin to recognize an income tax benefit when it becomes more likely than not that such benefit will be realized.

On October 8, 2008, Governor Schwarzenegger signed into law tax legislation with immediate and retroactive negative tax effects. For taxpayers with net business income of $500,000 or more, the new provisions suspend carryovers of net operating losses (NOLs) to 2008 and 2009, and suspend the use of business credits in those years in excess of 50% of a taxpayer's net tax. Any credits not allowed may be carried over for a period that will be extended by the period of suspension. NOLs for taxable years after 2007 will have a carryover period of 20 years (rather than the 10 years previously in effect) and the NOL carryovers suspended in 2008 and 2009 will have 10 years added to their carryover periods.

Financial Condition as of September 30, 2008

Total assets as of September 30, 2008 were $138.1 million, consisting primarily of cash of $7.4 million and net loans of $128.6 million compared with total assets as of December 31, 2007 of $112.5 million, consisting primarily of cash and fed funds sold of $14.5 million and net loans of $96.1 million Total deposits as of September 30, 2008 were $124.3 million compared with $99.0 million as of December 31, 2007, and shareholder’s equity as of September 30, 2008 was $12.2 million compared with $12.8 million as of December 31, 2007.

Short-Term Investments and Interest-bearing Deposits in Other Financial Institutions

At September 30, 2008, we had no federal funds (“fed funds”) sold. Federal funds sold allow us to meet liquidity requirements and provide temporary holdings until the funds can be otherwise deployed or invested. At December 31, 2007, we had $12.8 million in fed funds. The decrease in fed funds was due to the increase in net loans and the decrease in brokered deposits.

Investment Securities

The investment portfolio serves primarily as a source of interest income and, secondarily, as a source of liquidity and a management tool for our interest rate sensitivity. The investment portfolio is managed according to a written investment policy established by the Bank’s Board of Directors and implemented by the Investment/Asset-Liability Committee.

At September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, our securities consisted solely of Federal Reserve Bank Stock, having a book and estimated fair value of $354 thousand and $405 thousand, respectively, and a weighted average yield of 5.99%. At September 30, 2008, this stock was not pledged as collateral for any purpose.

Loan Portfolio

Our primary source of income is interest on loans. The following table presents the composition of the loan portfolio by category as of the dates indicated:

(1) Comprised of second mortgage home loans under home equity lines of credit.

Net loans as a percentage of total assets were 93.2% as of September 30, 2008, and 85.4% as of December 31, 2007.

The real estate portion of the loan portfolio is comprised of the following: mortgage loans secured typically by commercial and multi-family residential properties, occupied by the borrower, having terms of three to seven years with both fixed and floating rates; second mortgage loans under revolving lines of credit granted to consumers, secured by equity in residential properties. Construction loans consist primarily of high-end, single-family residential properties, primarily located in the coastal communities, and commercial properties for owner-occupied, have a term of less than one year and have floating rates and commitment fees. Construction loans are typically made to builders that have an established record of successful project completion and loan repayment. At September 30, 2008, we held $53.3 million in commercial and multi-family real estate loans outstanding, representing 41.0% of gross loans receivable, and undisbursed commitments of $900 thousand. Of this total, $6.8 million were SBA loans with $389 thousand in undisbursed commitments. The remaining real estate portfolio was comprised of $37.3 million in construction loans representing 28.7% of gross loans receivable with undisbursed commitments of $10.4 million, and $5.5 million in second mortgage loans under revolving lines secured by equity in 1-4 family residences, representing 4.2% of gross loans receivable with undisbursed commitments of $4.8 million.

The commercial loan portfolio is comprised of lines of credit for working capital and term loans to finance equipment and other business assets. The lines of credit typically are limited to a percentage of the value of the assets securing the line. Lines of credit and term loans typically are reviewed annually and can be supported by accounts receivable, inventory, equipment and other assets of the client’s businesses. At September 30, 2008, we held $33.7 million in commercial loans outstanding, representing 25.9% of gross loans receivable, and undisbursed commitments of $23.1 million. Of this total, $7.9 million were SBA loans with $816 thousand in undisbursed commitments.

The consumer loan portfolio consists of personal lines of credit and loans to acquire personal assets such as automobiles and boats. The lines of credit generally have terms of one year and the term loans generally have terms of three to five years. The lines of credit typically have floating rates. At September 30, 2008, consumer loans totaled $167 thousand, representing 0.1% of gross loans receivable and undisbursed commitments of $124 thousand. Of this total, $89 thousand were SBA loans with no undisbursed commitments.

Loan concentrations are considered to exist when there are amounts loaned to a multiple number of borrowers engaged in similar activities that would cause them to be similarly impacted by economic or other conditions. We have established select concentration percentages within the loan portfolio. It also includes groups of credit considered of either higher risk or worthy of further review as part of its concentration reporting. As of September 30, 2008, real estate loans, including construction loans, comprised 73.9% of the total loan portfolio. A high percentage of these loans are for commercial purposes with owner occupied real estate taken as collateral. In addition, all the SBA loans secured by real estate are to owner-users. Although classified as commercial real estate for reporting purposes, the intended source of the cash flow to repay the obligations is from the commercial enterprise of the borrower and not directly from the sale or lease of the property. The assessment of the borrower’s repayment ability is therefore based on the financial strength of the business and not the real estate held as collateral.

Management may renew loans at maturity when requested by a customer whose financial strength appears to support such a renewal or when such a renewal appears to be in our best interest. We require payment of accrued interest in such instances and may adjust the rate of interest, require a principal reduction, or modify other terms of the loan at the time of renewal. Loan terms vary according to loan type. The following table shows the maturity distribution of loans as of September 30, 2008:

	As of September 30, 2008

Nonperforming Loans and Other Assets

Nonperforming assets consist of non-performing loans, other real estate owned and other repossessed assets. Non-performing loans consist of loans in one or more of the following categories: impaired loans, loans on nonaccrual status, loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing interest and loans that have been restructured resulting in a reduction or deferral of interest or principal. At September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the Bank had $7.0 million and $2.5 million in non-performing loans, respectively, and no other non-performing assets.

Other loans of concern consist of loans where information about possible credit problems of the borrower is known, causing management to have serious doubts as to the ability of the borrower to comply with the present loan payment terms and which may result in the inclusion of such loan in one of the nonperforming asset categories. In addition, an internally classified loan list is maintained pursuant to federal regulations that helps management assess the overall quality of the loan portfolio and the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. Loans classified as “substandard” are those loans with clear and defined weaknesses, such as highly leveraged positions, unfavorable financial ratios, uncertain repayment resources or poor financial condition, which may jeopardize recoverability of the loan. Loans classified as “doubtful” are those loans that have characteristics similar to substandard loans, but also have an increased risk that loss may occur or at least a portion of the loan may require a charge-off if liquidated at present. Although loans classified as substandard do not duplicate loans classified as doubtful, both substandard and doubtful loans may include some loans that are past due at least 90 days, are on nonaccrual status or have been restructured. Loans classified as “loss” are those loans that are in the process of being charged-off.

Of the $7.0 million in non-performing loans at September 30, 2008, eight loans for a total of $6.5 million were classified as “substandard” and two loans for a total of $438 thousand were classified as “doubtful”. This compares to two substandard loans for a total of $2.5 million at December 31, 2007. Other loans of concern, not included in non-performing loans, consisted of one construction loan for a total of $1.0 million at September 30, 2008 compared to three loans for a total of $619 thousand at December 31, 2007. Two loans, for a total of $1.5 million including one restructured loan for $954 thousand, continue to accrue interest. The remaining loans are on non-accrual.

The table below provides information with respect to the Bank’s non-performing loans as of the dates indicated:

(1) As of September 30, 2008, $350 thousand in impaired loans held SBA guarantees for approximately $175 thousand.
(2) All of this amount is reflected in the total impaired loans shown above.

Management’s classification of a loan as nonaccrual or restructured is an indication that there is reasonable doubt as to the full collectability of principal and/or interest on the loan. At this point, we stop recognizing interest income on the loan and reverse any uncollected interest that had been accrued but unpaid. Additional payments made by the borrower are applied to the principal balance. If the loan deteriorates further due to a borrower’s bankruptcy or similar financial problems, unsuccessful collection efforts or a loss classification, the remaining balance of the loan is then charged off. These loans may or may not be collateralized, but collection efforts are continuously pursued.

The loans that have been classified as non-performing since December 31, 2007, are primarily construction loans. These loans have been classified based on current appraisals which reflect the general deterioration in the real estate market, especially in the Inland Empire region of Southern California. $350 thousand of the classified commercial loans and all of the classified consumer loans are part of the Bank's SBA loan portfolio. The Bank is working with the borrowers and the SBA to liquidate assets as partial repayment on these loans. The remaining $1.7 million in classified commercial loans are collateralized with furniture, fixtures, and equipment at multiple locations. The Bank is in the initial phases of negotiating with the borrower and the final disposition of these loans is not known at this time..

Of the two loans that were classified as impaired at December 31, 2007, one loan for $967 was renegotiated with the borrower, paid down to $954 thousand and is shown above as restructured debt at September 30, 2008. The second loan, with an outstanding balance of $1.5 million at December 31, 2007, was reduced through a charge-off to $1.0 million which management believed represented the bulk-sale value of the property less costs to sell. During the third quarter we received a payoff of $1 million and recoveries of $174 thousand on this loan.

present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, or, alternatively, at the loan’s observable market price or the fair value of the collateral of the loan is collateralized, less costs to sell.

Allowance for Loan Losses

Implicit in our lending activities is the fact that loan losses will be experienced and that the risk of loss will vary with the type of loan being made and the creditworthiness of the borrower over the term of the loan. To reflect the currently perceived risk of loss associated with the loan portfolio, additions are made to the allowance for loan losses in the form of direct charges against income to ensure that the allowance is available to absorb possible loan losses. The factors that influence the amount include, among others, the remaining collateral and/or financial condition of the borrowers, historical loan loss, changes in the size and composition of the loan portfolio, and general economic conditions. Management believes that our allowance for loan losses as of September 30, 2008 was adequate to absorb the known and inherent risks of loss in the loan portfolio at that date. While management believes the estimates and assumptions used in its determination of the adequacy of the allowance are reasonable, there can be no assurance that such estimates and assumptions will not be proven incorrect in the f u ture, or that the actual amount of future provisions will not exceed the amount of past provisions or that any increased provisions that may be required will not adversely impact our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, the determin a tion of the amount of the Bank ’ s allowance for loan losses is subject to review by bank regulators, as part of the routine examination process, which may result in the establishment of additional reserves based upon their judgment of information available to them at the time of their examination.

The amount of the allowance equals the cumulative total of the provisions made from time to time, reduced by loan charge-offs and increased by recoveries of loans previously charged-off. The adequacy of the allowance is determined using two different methods to determine a range. The first method involves classifying the loans by type and applying historical loss rates using an 8 year rolling average determined from Call Report data for all banks obtained from the Federal Reserve Board website. To this number is added the reserves for loans classified as substandard, substandard non-accrual, and doubtful, as established by management. The second method involves classifying the portfolio by risk weighting and applying a loss factor for each rating, again using the FRB historic database to determine appropriate factors as the Bank has limited loss history. Again, the related reserves for the loans classified as substandard, substandard non-accrual, and doubtful, are added to the general allowance to arrive at a total allowance. In addition, qualitative, or “Q”, factors are used to increase historical losses. These Q factors include changes in lending policies and procedures, in national and local economic conditions, in the mature and volume of the loan portfolio, in the tenure of the lending staff, in the non-performing loans, and in the quality of the loan review system. In addition, the existence and effect of concentrations within the portfolio and the effect of external factors are also taken into account.

We made provisions for loan losses of $1.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, as compared to provisions of $572 thousand for the comparable period of 2007. The increase was attributable to a $2.8 million increase in non-performing assets, a 34% increase in net loans from December 31, 2007, and the continuing real estate slump in Southern California. The housing slump in Southern California and the nation and its uncertain future have unfavorably impacted our homebuilding borrowers and the value of their collateral. At September 30, 2008, we had outstanding construction loans to developers for tract projects and single homes for sale to unidentified buyers totaling $15.4 million, representing 12% of our loan portfolio, and additional commitments for these projects in the amount of $1.2 million. We began curtailing the origination of construction loans in early 2008, and these types of loans now represent a smaller portion of our loan portfolio (29% at September 30, 2008 from 32% at December 31, 2007). We do not intend to originate any material amount of new construction loans under present market conditions, and we expect that construction loans will decrease through 2008, both in total amount and as a percentage of our loan portfolio. While we have increased our loan loss provisions, a prolonged or deeper decline in the housing market will negatively impact our homebuilder borrowers. We will continue to monitor this closely to determine whether further loan loss provisions are required. We do expect credit losses in our residential construction loan portfolio to remain at elevated levels well into the remainder of 2008.

The credit quality of our loans will be influenced by underlying trends in the economic cycle, particularly in Southern California, and other factors which are beyond management’s control. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that we will not sustain loan losses that in any particular period will be sizable in relation to the Allowance. Although we believe that we employ an appropriate approach to downgrading credits that are experiencing slower than projected sales and/or increases in loan to value ratios, subsequent evaluation of the loan portfolio by us and by our regulators, in light of factors then prevailing, may require increases in the Allowance through changes to the provision for loan losses.

Our allowance was $1.7 million, or 1.33% of outstanding principal as of September 30, 2008.

In addition, a separate allowance for credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures is maintained for the undisbursed portion of certain types of approved loans. Although our loss exposure is reduced because the funds have not been released to the borrower, under certain circumstances we may be required to continue to disburse funds on a troubled credit. As of September 30, 2008, this allowance was $74 thousand.

Credit and loan decisions are made by management and the Board of Directors in conformity with loan policies established by the Board of Directors. Our practice is to charge-off any loan or portion of a loan when the loan is determined by management to be uncollectible due to the borrower’s failure to meet repayment terms, the borrower’s deteriorating or deteriorated financial condition, the depreciation of the underlying collateral, the loan’s classification as a loss by regulatory examiners, or other reasons. During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, charge-offs totaling $1.5 million were taken, with $350 thousand related to a commercial loan and the remainder related to construction loans. During the same period, recoveries of $268 thousand were received from the construction loans previously charged off.

Nonearning Assets

Premises, leasehold improvements and equipment totaled $628 thousand at September 30, 2008, net of accumulated depreciation of $1.3 million compared to $888 thousand at December 31, 2007, net of accumulated depreciation of $934 thousand. This decrease occurred due to the ongoing depreciation of fixed assets net of new purchases of $62 thousand.

Deposits

Deposits are our primary source of funds. Demand, or non-interest bearing checking, accounts as a percentage of total deposits were 20.0% at September 30, 2008, compared to 17.8% at December 31, 2007.

The following table sets forth the amount and maturities of the time deposits as of September 30, 2008:

	At September 30, 2008
	Time Deposits of $100,00 or more	Other Time Deposits	Total Time Deposits
	(Dollars in thousands)
Three months or less	$ 1,269	13,213	$ 14,482
Over three months through six months	6,876	1,154	8,030
Over six months through 12 months	5,836	2,878	8,714
Over 12 months	6,208	122	6,330
Total	$ 20,189	$ 17,367	$ 37,556

We had $19.7 million of brokered certificates of deposit at September 30, 2008. $14.8 million are shown above in the Time Deposits of $100,000 or More category while $4.9 million represent individual deposits of less than $100 thousand and are shown in the Other Time Deposit category. The records identifying the individual depositors are maintained either by us or the broker. Of this total, $97 thousand consisted of public funds, none of which required collateralization. Also in this total is $2.2 million in “reciprocal” deposits whereby customers of Pacific Coast National Bank, utilizing the CDAR program, have placed deposits in other financial institutions to maximize their FDIC insurance and reciprocal deposits have been placed in Pacific Coast National Bank. In the table above $14.8 million in brokered funds are shown as part of Time Deposits of $100,000 or More with maturities of $4.4 million in Over three months through six months, $4.2 million in Over six month through 12 months, and $6.2 million in Over 12 months. In the table above $4.9 million in brokered funds are shown as part of Other Time Deposits with maturities of $4.7 million in Three months or less and $200 thousand in Over 12 months. At December 31, 2007, we had $28.2 million in brokered deposits. We intend to limit non-local and brokered deposits to 35% or less of total deposits.

Return on Equity and Assets

The following table sets forth certain information regarding our return on equity and assets for the nine months ended September 30, 2008:

At September 30, 2008
Return on assets	-1.68%
Return on equity	-18.52%
Dividend payout ratio	0%
Equity to assets ratio	8.8%

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Loan Commitments

In the ordinary course of business, we enter into various off-balance sheet commitments and other arrangements to extend credit that are not reflected in the consolidated balance sheets of the Company. The business purpose of these off-balance sheet commitments is the routine extension of credit. As of September 30, 2008, commitments to extend credit included approximately $265 thousand for letters of credit, $26.5 million for revolving lines of credit arrangements including $4.8 million in real-estate secured lines, and $10.8 million in unused commitments for commercial and real estate secured loans. We face the risk of deteriorating credit quality of borrowers to whom a commitment to extend credit has been made; however, we currently expect no significant credit losses from these commitments and arrangements.

Borrowings

The Bank has access to a variety of borrowing sources including $8 million in federal funds lines through two correspondent banks. The Bank also has the option of applying for a line of credit from the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco. As of September 30, 2008, the Bank had $1.0 million in outstanding fed funds purchased. As of December 31, 2007, there were no borrowings outstanding.

Capital Resources and Capital Adequacy Requirements

Private Placement. As noted above, under “Executive Overview—Introduction,” the Company recently completed a private placement of common stock and warrants in which it received aggregate gross proceeds of $1,250,000, $1,000,000 of which was received in September 2008 with the remainder received in November 2008. Together with existing funds at the holding company level, this enabled the Company to downstream $1.1 million to the Bank on September 30, 2008.

TARP Capital Purchase Program. In response to the crises affecting the banking industry and financial markets, in October 2008, the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (the “EESA”) was signed into law. Pursuant to the EESA, the U. S. Department of Treasury (the “Treasury”) was given the authority to, among other things, purchase up to $700 billion of mortgages, mortgage-backed securities and certain other financial instruments from financial institutions for the purpose of stabilizing and providing liquidity to the U. S. financial markets. The Treasury announced that, pursuant to this authorization, it will be purchasing equity stakes in U.S. financial institutions. Under this program, known as the Troubled Asset Relief Program Capital Purchase Program (the “TARP Capital Purchase Program”), from the $700 billion authorized by the EESA, the Treasury will make $250 billion of capital available to U.S. financial institutions in the form of preferred stock issued by these institutions, in an amount equal to not less than 1% of the institution’s risk-weighted assets and not more than the lesser of 3% of the institution’s risk-weighted assets and $25 billion. In conjunction with the purchase of an institution’s preferred stock, the Treasury will receive warrants to purchase the institution’s common stock with an aggregate market value equal to 15% of the total amount of the preferred investment. Participating financial institutions will be required to adopt the Treasury’s standards for executive compensation for the period during which the Treasury holds securities issued under the TARP Capital Purchase Program and be restricted from increasing dividends to common shareholders or repurchasing common stock for three years without the consent of the Treasury. We have applied to the TARP Capital Purchase Program for the maximum investment by Treasury, which would enable us to receive up to approximately $4.1 million in additional capital.

The foregoing description of the TARP Capital Purchase Program is based on the information currently available regarding the terms of the TARP Capital Purchase Program. Treasury has indicated that there may be separate terms applicable to companies, such as us, whose stock is not listed on a national securities exchange, but has not yet made those terms available. Accordingly, some of the terms applicable to us, if we are approved by Treasury to participate in the TARP Capital Purchase Program, could differ from those described above.

Regulatory Capital. Risk-based capital guidelines are designed to make regulatory capital requirements more sensitive to differences in risk profiles among banks, to account for off-balance sheet exposure, and to minimize disincentives for holding liquid assets. Under the regulations, assets and off-balance sheet items are assigned to broad risk categories, each with appropriate weights. The resulting capital ratios represent capital as a percentage of total risk weighted assets and off-balance sheet items. Under the prompt corrective action regulations, to be adequately capitalized a bank must maintain minimum ratios of total capital to risk-weighted assets of 8.00%, Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of 4.00%, and Tier 1 capital to total assets of 4.00%. Failure to meet these 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 business, financial condition and results of operations.

As of September 30, 2008, the Bank was categorized as well-capitalized. A well-capitalized institution must maintain a minimum ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets of at least 10.00%, a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk weighted assets of at least 6.00%, and a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to total assets of at least 5.00% and must not be subject to any written order, agreement, or directive requiring it to meet or maintain a specific capital level.

The following table sets forth the Bank’s capital ratios as of the dates specified:

					To Be Well
					Capitalized Under
			For Capital		Prompt Corrective
	Actual		Adequacy Purposes		Action Provisions
	Amount		Amount		Amount
	(Thousands)	Ratio	(Thousands)	Ratio	(Thousands)	Ratio
As of September 30, 2008:
Total Capital (to Risk-Weighted Assets)	$ 13,885	10.11%	$ 10,987	8.0%	$ 13,734	10.0%
Tier 1 Capital (to Risk-Weighted Assets)	$ 12,167	8.86%	$ 5,493	4.0%	$ 8,240	6.0%
Tier 1 Capital (to Average Assets)	$ 12,167	8.88%	$ 5,483	4.0%	$ 6,854	5.0%

As of December 31, 2007:
Total Capital (to Risk-Weighted Assets)	$ 13,672	11.55%	$ 9,470	8.0%	$ 11,837	10.0%
Tier 1 Capital (to Risk-Weighted Assets)	$ 12,193	10.31%	$ 4,735	4.0%	$ 7,102	6.0%
Tier 1 Capital (to Average Assets)	$ 12,193	12.19%	$ 4,002	4.0%	$ 5,002	5.0%

It is possible that the Bank’s capital ratios could drop to “adequately capitalized” from “well capitalized” if the strong growth in earning assets continues without the raising of sufficient additional capital.

The following table sets forth the Company’s capital ratios as of the dates specified:

			For Capital
	Actual		Adequacy Purposes

	(Thousands)	Ratio	(Thousands)	Ratio
As of September 30, 2008:

Tier 1 Capital (to Risk-Weighted Assets)	$ 12,751	10.78%	$ 4,730	4.0%
Tier 1 Capital (to Average Assets)	$ 12,751	12.74%	$ 4,002	4.0%

Liquidity Management

At September 30, 2008, the Company (excluding the Bank) had approximately $6 thousand in cash. An additional $250 thousand was received in November 2008 in connection with our recently completed private placement of common stock and warrants. See “—Capital Resources and Capital Adequacy Requirements.” These funds can be used for Company operations, investment and for later infusion into the Bank and other corporate activities. The primary source of liquidity for the Company will be dividends paid by the Bank. The Bank is currently restricted from paying dividends without regulatory approval that will not be granted until the accumulated deficit has been eliminated. Existing restrictions also require the Bank to maintain its “well-capitalized” status under regulatory capital guidelines in order to pay dividends to the Company.

The Bank had cash and cash equivalents of $7.4 million, or 5.4% of total Bank assets, at September 30, 2008. This is below the guidelines that the Bank has in place, and steps are being taken to increase liquidity. These steps include increasing the amount of brokered funds on deposit with the Bank and selling the guaranteed portion of SBA 504 loans. The Bank’s liquidity is monitored by its staff, the Investment/Asset-Liability Committee and the Board of Directors, who review historical funding requirements, current liquidity position, sources and stability of funding, marketability of assets, options for attracting additional funds, and anticipated future funding needs, including the level of unfunded commitments.

The Bank’s primary sources of funds are currently retail and commercial deposits, loan repayments, other short-term borrowings, and other funds provided by operations. While scheduled loan repayments and maturing investments are relatively predictable, deposit flows and early loan prepayments are more influenced by interest rates, general economic conditions, and competition. The Bank maintains investments in liquid assets based upon

management’s assessment of (1) the need for funds, (2) expected deposit flows, (3) yields available on short-term liquid assets, and (4) objectives of the asset/liability management program.

The Bank also has access to borrowing lines from two correspondent banks for a total of $8 million. These are usually restricted to short time periods (30 days or less). The Bank also has the option of applying for a line of credit with the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco (FHLB). As of September 30, 2008, the Bank purchased $1.0 million in overnight fed funds through on of its borrowing lines.

The Bank currently utilizes brokered funds to support loan demand. Traditionally these funds come at a higher cost than local, “core”, deposits. These funds are rate sensitive and therefore easy to attract or discourage depending on the needs of the Bank. The pricing and availability of brokered funds are contingent upon the Bank remaining well-capitalized.

The Bank often sells the guaranteed portion of SBA loans at a premium. The Bank could also sell the unguaranteed portion of these loans, which amounted to $14 million at September 30, 2008, and sell other loans as well, if management deemed this necessary for liquidity needs. In extreme circumstances, the Bank could postpone the funding of loans until deposits could be raised to provide the necessary liquidity.

As loan demand increases, greater pressure is being exerted on the Bank’s liquidity. However, it is management’s intention to maintain a loan to deposit ratio in the range of 90% - 105%. Given this goal, the Bank will not aggressively pursue lending opportunities if sufficient funding sources ( i.e. , deposits, Fed Funds, other borrowing lines) are not available. We intend to limit non-local and brokered deposits to 35% or less of total deposits. As of September 30, 2008, the loan to deposit ratio was 103% and brokered deposits represented 16% of total deposits.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk

Net interest income, the Bank’s expected primary source of earnings, can fluctuate with significant interest rate movements. The Company’s profitability depends substantially on the Bank’s net interest income, which is the difference between the interest income earned on its loans and other assets and the interest expense paid on its deposits and other liabilities. Most of the factors that cause changes in market interest rates, including economic conditions, are beyond the Company’s control. While the Bank takes measures to minimize the effect that changes in interest rates has on its net interest income and profitability, these measures may not be effective. To lessen the impact of these fluctuations, the Bank manages the structure of the balance sheet so that repricing opportunities exist for both assets and liabilities in roughly equal amounts at approximately the same time intervals. Imbalances in these repricing opportunities at any point in time constitute interest rate sensitivity.

Interest rate risk is the most significant market risk affecting the Bank. Other types of market risk, such as foreign currency risk and commodity price risk, do not arise in the normal course of the Bank’s business activities. Interest rate risk can be defined as the exposure to a movement in interest rates that could have an adverse effect on the net interest income or the market value of the Bank’s financial instruments. The ongoing monitoring and management of this risk is an important component of the asset and liability management process, which is governed by policies established by the Company’s Board of Directors and carried out by the Bank’s Investment/Asset-liability Committee. The Investment/Asset-liability Committee’s objectives are to manage the exposure to interest rate risk over both the one year planning cycle and the longer term strategic horizon and, at the same time, to provide a stable and steadily increasing flow of net interest income.

The primary measurement of interest rate risk is earnings at risk, which is determined through computerized simulation modeling. The primary simulation model assumes a static balance sheet, using the balances, rates, maturities and repricing characteristics of all of the Bank’s existing assets and liabilities. Net interest income is computed by the model assuming market rates remaining unchanged and comparing those results to other interest rate scenarios with changes in the magnitude, timing and relationship between various interest rates. At September 30, 2008, an analysis was performed using the Risk Monitor model provided by Fidelity Regulatory Solutions and utilizing the Bank’s September 30, 2008 Call Report data. The table below shows the impact of rising and declining interest rate simulations in 100 basis point increments over a 12-month period. Changes in net interest income in the rising and declining rate scenarios are measured against the current net interest income. The changes

in equity capital represent the changes in the present value of the balance sheet without regards to business continuity, otherwise known as “liquidation value”.

	Interest Rate Shock
Shock	-2%	-1%	Annualized	+1%	+2%
Fed Funds Rate	-0.50%	0.50%	1.50%	2.50%	3.50%

Net Interest Income Change	(328)	(152)	-	4	6
% Change	-5.2%	-2.4%	-	0.1%	0.1%

Equity Capital Change %	-5.0%	-1.8%	-	1.3%	3.1%

Net Interest Margin	4.57%	4.71%	4.83%	4.83%	4.83%

The interest rate risk inherent in a bank ’ s assets and liabilities may also be determined by analyzing the extent to which such assets and liabilities are "interest rate sensitive” and by measuring the bank ’ s interest rate sensitivity “ gap." An asset or liability is said to be interest rate sensitive within a defined time period if it matures or reprices within that period. The difference or mismatch between the amount of interest-earning assets maturing or repricing within a defined period a nd the amount of interest-bearing liabilities maturing or repricing within the same period is defined as the interest rate sensitivity gap. A bank is considered to have a positive gap if the amount of interest-earning assets maturing or repricing wit h in a specified time period exceeds the amount of interest-bearing liabilities maturing or repricing within the same period. If more interest-bearing liabilities than interest-earning assets mature or reprice within a specified period, then the bank is co n sidered to have a negative gap. Accordingly, in a rising interest rate environment, in an institution with a positive gap, the yield on its rate sensitive assets would theoretically rise at a faster pace than the cost of its rate sensitive liabilities, t h ereby increasing future net interest income. In a falling interest rate environment, a positive gap would indicate that the yield on rate sensitive assets would decline at a faster pace than the cost of rate sensitive liabilities, thereby decreasing net i nterest income. For a bank with a negative gap, the reverse would be expected. The Bank attempts to maintain a balance between rate sensitive assets and liabilities as the exposure period is lengthened to minimize the Bank ’ s overall interest rate risk. T he Bank regularly evaluates the balance sheet ’ s asset mix in terms of the following variables: yield; credit quality; appropriate funding sources; and liquidity.

The following table sets forth, on a stand-alone basis, the Bank’s amounts of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities outstanding at September 30, 2008, which are anticipated, based upon certain assumptions, to reprice or mature in each of the future time periods shown. The projected repricing of assets and liabilities anticipates prepayments and scheduled rate adjustments, as well as contractual maturities under an interest rate unchanged scenario within the selected time intervals. While it is believed that such assumptions are reasonable, there can be no assurance that assumed repricing rates will approximate actual future deposit activity.

(1) Excludes deferred fees and allowance for loan losses.

Certain shortcomings are inherent in the method of analysis presented in the gap table. For example, although certain assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or periods of repricing, they may react in different degrees to changes in market interest rates. Additionally, certain assets, such as adjustable-rate loans, have features that restrict changes in interest rates, both on a short-term basis and over the life of the asset. More importantly, changes in interest rates, prepayments and early withdrawal levels may deviate significantly from those assumed in the calculations in the table. As a result of these shortcomings, the Bank will focus more on earnings at risk simulation modeling than on gap analysis. Even though the gap analysis reflects a ratio of cumulative gap to total assets within acceptable limits, the earnings at risk simulation modeling is considered by management to be more informative in forecasting future income at risk.

Item 4T. Controls and Procedures

As of September 30, 2008, the Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Based on this evaluation, the Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that as of September 30, 2008, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management (including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer) to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure, and is recorded, processed, summarized and reported with in the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2008, no change occurred in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings

There are no material pending legal proceedings to which the Company or the Bank is a party or to which any of their respective properties are subject; nor are there material proceedings known to the Company, in which any director, officer or affiliate or any principal shareholder is a party or has an interest adverse to the Company or the Bank.

ITEM 1A. Risk Factors

Our business is subject to general economic risks that could adversely impact our results of operations and financial condition.

·	Changes in economic conditions, particularly a further economic slowdown in Southern California, could hurt our business.

Our business is directly affected by market conditions, trends in industry and finance, legislative and regulatory changes, and changes in governmental monetary and fiscal policies and inflation, all of which are beyond our control. In 2007, the housing and real estate sectors experienced an economic slowdown that has continued into 2008. Further deterioration in economic conditions, in particular within the Southern California real estate markets, could result in the following consequences, among others, any of which could hurt our business materially:

·	loan delinquencies may increase;

·	problem assets and foreclosures may increase;

·	demand for our products and services may decline; and

·	collateral for loans made by us, especially real estate, may decline in value, in turn reducing a customer’s borrowing power and reducing the value of assets and collateral securing our loans.

Our success depends on the general economic condition of Southern California, which management cannot forecast with certainty. Unlike many of our larger competitors, substantially all of our borrowers and depositors are individuals and businesses located or doing business in our service areas. As a result, our operations and profitability may be more adversely affected by a local economic downturn than those of our larger, more geographically diverse competitors. Conditions such as inflation, recession, unemployment, high interest rates, short money supply, scarce natural resources, international disorders, terrorism and other factors beyond our control may also adversely affect our profitability. We do not have the ability of a larger institution to spread the risks of unfavorable local economic conditions across a large number of diversified economies. Any sustained period of increased payment delinquencies, foreclosures or losses caused by adverse market or economic conditions in Southern California could adversely affect the value of our assets, revenues, profitability and financial condition.

·	Downturns in the Southern California real estate markets could hurt our business.

Our business activities and credit exposure are primarily concentrated in Southern California. While we do not have any sub-prime loans, our construction and land loan portfolios, our commercial and multifamily loan portfolios and certain of our other loans have been affected by the downturn in the residential real estate market. We anticipate that further declines in the Southern California real estate markets will hurt our business. As of September 30, 2008, substantially all of our real estate secured loan portfolio consisted of loans located in Southern California. If real estate values continue to decline in this area, the collateral for our loans will provide less security. As a result, our ability to recover on defaulted loans by selling the underlying real estate will be diminished, and we would be more likely to suffer losses on defaulted loans. The events and conditions described in this risk factor could therefore have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

·	We may suffer losses in our loan portfolio despite our underwriting practices.

We seek to mitigate the risks inherent in our loan portfolio by adhering to specific underwriting practices. Although we believe that our underwriting criteria are appropriate for the various kinds of loans we make, we may incur losses on loans that meet our underwriting criteria, and these losses may exceed the amounts set aside as reserves in our allowance for loan losses.

N egative developments in the financial industry and credit markets may continue to adversely impact our financial condition and results of operations.

Negative developments beginning in the latter half of 2007 in the sub-prime mortgage market and the securitization markets for such loans, together with other factors, have resulted in uncertainty in the financial markets in general and a related general economic downturn, which have continued in 2008. Many lending institutions, including us, have experienced declines in the performance of their loans, including construction and land loans, multifamily loans, commercial loans and consumer loans. Moreover, competition among depository institutions for deposits and quality loans has increased significantly. In addition, the values of real estate collateral supporting many construction and land, commercial and multifamily and other commercial loans and home mortgages have declined and may continue to decline. Bank and bank holding company stock prices have been negatively affected, as has the ability of banks and bank holding companies to raise capital or borrow in the debt markets compared to recent years. These conditions may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, as a result of the foregoing factors, there is a potential for new federal or state laws and regulations regarding lending and funding practices and liquidity standards, and bank regulatory agencies are expected to be very aggressive in responding to concerns and trends identified in examinations, including the expected issuance of formal enforcement orders. Negative developments in the financial industry and the impact of new legislation in response to those developments could restrict our business operations, including our ability to originate or sell loans, and adversely impact our results of operations and financial condition.

Recent legislative and regulatory initiatives to address difficult market and economic conditions may not stabilize the U.S. banking system.

The recently enacted Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (the “EESA”) authorizes the U.S. Treasury Department (the “Treasury”) to purchase from financial institutions and their holding companies up to $700 billion in mortgage loans, mortgage-related securities and certain other financial instruments, including debt and equity securities issued by financial institutions and their holding companies, under a troubled asset relief program (“TARP”). The purpose of TARP is to restore confidence and stability to the U.S. banking system and to encourage financial institutions to increase their lending to customers and to each other. The Treasury has allocated $250 billion towards the TARP Capital Purchase Program (“CPP”). Under the CPP, Treasury will purchase equity securities from participating institutions.

The EESA also increased federal deposit insurance on most deposit accounts from $100,000 to $250,000. This increase is in place until the end of 2009 and is not covered by deposit insurance premiums paid by the banking industry. In addition, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation has implemented two temporary programs to provide deposit insurance for the full amount of most non-interest bearing transaction accounts through the end of 2009 and to guarantee certain unsecured debt of financial institutions and their holding companies through June 2012. Financial institutions have until December 5, 2008 to opt out of these two programs. The purpose of these legislative and regulatory actions is to stabilize the U.S. banking system.

The EESA and the other regulatory initiatives described above may not have their desired effects. If the volatility in the markets continues and economic conditions fail to improve or worsen, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely impacted.

Current levels of market volatility are unprecedented.

The capital and credit markets have been experiencing volatility and disruption for more than a year. In recent months, the volatility and disruption has reached unprecedented levels. In some cases, the markets have produced downward pressure on stock prices and credit availability for certain issuers without regard to those issuers’ underlying financial strength. If current levels of market disruption and volatility continue or worsen, there can be no assurance that we will not experience an adverse effect, which may be material, on our ability to access capital, if needed or desired, and on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Other than as set forth above, there have been no material changes to the risk factors set forth in Part I, Item 1 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2007.
