Note 1. Basis of Presentation

The interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Central Valley Community Bancorp and subsidiary have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC). These interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Central Valley Community Bancorp and its wholly owned subsidiary Central Valley Community Bank (the Bank) (collectively, the Company). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) have been omitted. The Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s 2016 Annual Report to Shareholders on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position at June 30, 2017, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the six month interim periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 have been included. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.

The preparation of these interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Management has determined that since all of the banking products and services offered by the Company are available in each branch of the Bank, all branches are located within the same economic environment, and management does not allocate resources based on the performance of different lending or transaction activities, it is appropriate to aggregate the Bank branches and report them as a single operating segment. No customer accounts for more than 10 percent of revenues for the Company or the Bank.

Impact of New Financial Accounting Standards:

FASB Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-09 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Revenue from Contracts with Customers was issued in May 2014. This ASU is the result of a joint project initiated by the FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) to clarify the principles for recognizing revenue, and to develop common revenue standards and disclosure requirements that would: (1) remove inconsistencies and weaknesses in revenue requirements; (2) provide a more robust framework for addressing revenue issues; (3) improve comparability of revenue recognition practices across entities, industries, jurisdictions, and capital markets; (4) provide more useful information to users of financial statements through improved disclosures; and (5) simplify the preparation of financial statements by reducing the number of requirements to which an entity must refer. The guidance affects any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets. The core principle is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance provides steps to follow to achieve the core principle. An entity should disclose sufficient information to enable users of financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. Qualitative and quantitative information is required with regard to contracts with customers, significant judgments and changes in judgments, and assets recognized from the costs to obtain or fulfill a contract. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods therein, with early adoption permitted for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company plans to adopt ASU 2014-09 on January 1, 2018 utilizing the modified retrospective approach. Since the guidance does not apply to revenue associated with financial instruments such as loans and investments, which are accounted for under other provisions of GAAP, we do not expect it to impact interest income, our largest component of income. The Company is currently performing an overall assessment of revenue streams potentially affected by the ASU, including certain deposit related fees and interchange fees, to determine the potential impact of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

FASB Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-01 - Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, was issued January 2016. The main provisions of the update are to eliminate the available-for-sale classification of accounting for equity securities and to adjust the fair value disclosures for financial instruments carried at amortized costs such that the disclosed fair values represent an exit price as opposed to an entry price. The provisions of this update will require that equity securities be carried at fair market value on the balance sheet and any periodic changes in value will be adjustments to the income statement. A practical expedient is provided for equity securities without a readily determinable fair value, such that these securities can be carried at cost less any impairment. ASU No. 2016-01 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company has performed a preliminary evaluation of the provisions of ASU No. 2016-01 and based on this evaluation, has determined that

Table of Contents

ASU No. 2016-01 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or its cash flows.

FASB Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-02 - Leases - Overall (Subtopic 845): was issued February 2016. The update requires all leases, with the exception of short-term leases that have contractual terms of no greater than one year, to be recorded on the balance sheet. Under the provisions of the update, leases classified as operating will be reflected on the balance sheet with the recognition of both a right-of-use asset and a lease liability. Under the update, a distinction will exist between finance and operating type leases and the rules for determining which classification a lease will fall into are similar to existing rules. For public business entities, the amendments of this update are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The update requires a modified retrospective transition under which comparative balance sheets from the earliest historical period presented will be revised to reflect what the financials would have looked like were the provisions of the update applied consistently in all prior periods. The Company is currently evaluating the provisions of ASU No. 2016-02 and has determined that the provisions of ASU No. 2016-02 will result in an increase in assets to recognize the present value of the lease obligations with a corresponding increase in liabilities; however, the Company does not expect this to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or cash flows.

FASB Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-09 - Compensation - Stock Compensation (Subtopic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, was issued March 2016. This ASU includes provisions intended to simplify various aspects related to how share-based payments are accounted for and presented in the financial statements. Some of the key provisions of this new ASU include: (1) companies will no longer record excess tax benefits and certain tax deficiencies in additional paid-in capital (“APIC”). Instead, they will record all excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies as income tax expense or benefit in the income statement, and APIC pools will be eliminated. The guidance also eliminates the requirement that excess tax benefits be realized before companies can recognize them. In addition, the guidance requires companies to present excess tax benefits as an operating activity on the statement of cash flows rather than as a financing activity; (2) increase the amount an employer can withhold to cover income taxes on awards and still qualify for the exception to liability classification for shares used to satisfy the employer’s statutory income tax withholding obligation. The new guidance will also require an employer to classify the cash paid to a tax authority when shares are withheld to satisfy its statutory income tax withholding obligation as a financing activity on its statement of cash flows (current guidance did not specify how these cash flows should be classified); and (3) permit companies to make an accounting policy election for the impact of forfeitures on the recognition of expense for share-based payment awards. Forfeitures can be estimated, as required today, or recognized when they occur. ASU No. 2016-09 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption was permitted, but all of the guidance must be adopted in the same period. Effective January 1, 2017, the Company adopted ASU 2016-09 “Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting” including the election to continue to treat option forfeitures on an expected basis and to provide cash flow disclosures on a prospective basis. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 the adoption of this standard resulted in the recognition of $12,000 and $104,000, respectively in excess tax benefits related to the exercise of stock options during the period.

FASB Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-13 - Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (Subtopic 326): Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, commonly referred to as “CECL,” was issued June 2016. The provisions of the update eliminate the probable initial recognition threshold under current GAAP which requires reserves to be based on an incurred loss methodology. Under CECL, reserves required for financial assets measured at amortized cost will reflect an organization’s estimate of all expected credit losses over the contractual term of the financial asset and thereby require the use of reasonable and supportable forecasts to estimate future credit losses. Because CECL encompasses all financial assets carried at amortized cost, the requirement that reserves be established based on an organization’s reasonable and supportable estimate of expected credit losses extends to held to maturity (“HTM”) debt securities. Under the provisions of the update, credit losses recognized on available for sale (“AFS”) debt securities will be presented as an allowance as opposed to a write-down. In addition, CECL will modify the accounting for purchased loans, with credit deterioration since origination, so that reserves are established at the date of acquisition for purchased loans. Under current GAAP a purchased loan’s contractual balance is adjusted to fair value through a credit discount and no reserve is recorded on the purchased loan upon acquisition. Since under CECL reserves will be established for purchased loans at the time of acquisition, the accounting for purchased loans is made more comparable to the accounting for originated loans. Finally, increased disclosure requirements under CECL require organizations to present the currently required credit quality disclosures disaggregated by the year of origination or vintage. The FASB expects that the evaluation of underwriting standards and credit quality trends by financial statement users will be enhanced with the additional vintage disclosures. For public business entities that are SEC filers, the amendments of the update will become effective beginning January 1, 2020. While the Company is currently evaluating the provisions of ASU No. 2016-13 to determine the potential impact the new standard will have on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements, it has taken steps to prepare for the implementation when it becomes effective, such as forming an internal task force, gathering pertinent data, consulting with outside professionals, and evaluating its current IT systems. Management expects to recognize a one-time cumulative

Table of Contents

effect adjustment to the allowance for loan losses as of the first reporting period in which the new standard is effective, but cannot yet estimate the magnitude of the one-time adjustment or the overall impact of the new guidance on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

FASB Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2017-04 - Intangibles Goodwill and Other (Subtopic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, was issued January 2017. The provisions of the update eliminate the existing second step of the goodwill impairment test which provides for the allocation of reporting unit fair value among existing assets and liabilities, with the net leftover amount representing the implied fair value of goodwill. In replacement of the existing goodwill impairment rule, the update will provide that impairment should be recognized as the excess of any of the reporting unit’s goodwill over the fair value of the reporting unit. Under the provisions of this update, the amount of the impairment is limited to the carrying value of the reporting unit’s goodwill. For public business entities that are SEC filers, the amendments of the update will become effective in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019.

FASB Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2017-08 - Receivables - Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities, was issued March 2017. The provisions of the update require premiums recognized upon the purchase of callable debt securities to be amortized to the earliest call date in order to avoid losses recognized upon call. For public business entities that are SEC filers the amendments of the update will become effective in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. Management does not expect the requirements of this update to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Note 2. ACQUISITIONS

Effective October 1, 2016, the Company acquired Sierra Vista Bank, headquartered in Folsom, California, wherein Sierra Vista Bank, with one branch in Folsom, one branch in Fair Oaks, and one branch in Cameron Park, merged with and into Central Valley Community Bancorp’s subsidiary, Central Valley Community Bank, in a combined cash and stock transaction. Sierra Vista Bank’s assets as of October 1, 2016 totaled approximately $155.154 million. The acquired assets and liabilities were recorded at fair value at the date of acquisition. Under the terms of the merger agreement, the Company issued an aggregate of approximately 1.059 million shares of its common stock and cash totaling approximately $9.469 million to the former shareholders of Sierra Vista Bank.

In accordance with GAAP guidance for business combinations, the Company recorded $10.314 million of goodwill and $508,000 of other intangible assets on the acquisition date. The other intangible assets are primarily related to core deposits and are being amortized using a straight-line method over a period of ten years with no significant residual value. For tax purposes, purchase accounting adjustments including goodwill are all non-taxable and/or non-deductible. The fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed are subject to adjustment during the first twelve months after the acquisition date if additional information becomes available to indicate a more accurate or appropriate value for an asset or liability. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2017, the Company determined that a measurement adjustment was appropriate which resulted in an $80,000 increase to goodwill.

The acquisition was consistent with the Company’s strategy to build a regional presence in Central California. The acquisition offers the Company the opportunity to increase profitability by introducing existing products and services to the acquired customer base as well as add new customers in the expanded region. Goodwill arising from the acquisition consisted largely of synergies and the cost savings resulting from the combined operations.

Pro Forma Results of Operations

The following table presents pro forma results of operations information for the periods presented as if the acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2016 after giving effect to certain adjustments. The unaudited pro forma results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2016 include the historical accounts of the Company and Sierra Vista Bank and pro forma adjustments as may be required, including the amortization of intangibles with definite lives and the amortization or accretion of any premiums or discounts arising from fair value adjustments for assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The pro forma information is intended for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the Company’s future operating results or operating results that would have occurred had the acquisition been completed at the beginning of 2016. No assumptions have been applied to the pro forma results of operations regarding possible revenue enhancements, expense efficiencies or asset dispositions. (In thousands, except per-share amounts):

On April 27, 2017, the Company and Folsom Lake Bank (“Folsom”) jointly announced the execution of a definitive agreement and plan of merger and reorganization whereby Folsom will merge with and into Central Valley Community Bank in a transaction valued at approximately $33.6 million. Shareholders of Folsom will receive a fixed exchange ratio at closing of 0.80 shares of the Company’s common stock for each share of Folsom common stock. Based on the Company’s stock price as of June 30, 2017, total consideration for each Folsom share would have been $17.95. On July 12, 2017, the Company issued a press release announcing that the Company and Central Valley Community Bank, have received regulatory approvals from both the FDIC and the California Department of Business Oversight for the merger of Central Valley Community Bank and Folsom. The transaction is subject to the approval of the shareholders of Folsom. Folsom will hold its special shareholder meeting on August 10, 2017. The transaction is expected to be completed on October 1, 2017 pending shareholder approval and the satisfaction of other customary closing conditions.

Folsom is headquartered in Folsom, California with approximately $205.9 million in assets at June 30, 2017, with three branches located in Folsom, Rancho Cordova and Roseville, California. As of June 30, 2017, on a pro forma consolidated basis, the combined company would have had approximately $1.7 billion in assets.

Note 3. Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Hierarchy

Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. In accordance with applicable guidance, the Company groups its assets and liabilities measured at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value. Valuations within these levels are based upon:

Level 1 — Quoted market prices (unadjusted) for identical instruments traded in active exchange markets that the Company has the ability to access as of the measurement date.

Level 2 — Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3 — Model-based techniques that use at least one significant assumption not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect the Company’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use on pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques include management judgment and estimation which may be significant.

Management monitors the availability of observable market data to assess the appropriate classification of financial instruments within the fair value hierarchy. Changes in economic conditions or model-based valuation techniques may require the transfer of financial instruments from one fair value level to another. In such instances, we report the transfer at the beginning of the reporting period. The estimated carrying and fair values of the Company’s financial instruments are as follows (in thousands):

These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering the Company’s entire holdings of a particular financial instrument for sale at one time, nor do they attempt to estimate the value of anticipated future business related to the instruments. In addition, the tax ramifications related to the realization of unrealized gains and losses can have a significant effect on fair value estimates and have not been considered in any of these estimates.

These estimates are made at a specific point in time based on relevant market data and information about the financial instruments. Because no market exists for a significant portion of the Company’s financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments and other factors. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the fair values presented.

The methods and assumptions used to estimate fair values are described as follows:

(a) Cash and Cash Equivalents — The carrying amounts of cash and due from banks, interest-earning deposits in other banks, and Federal funds sold approximate fair values and are classified as Level 1.

(b) Investment Securities — Investment securities in Level 1 are mutual funds and fair values are based on quoted market prices for identical instruments traded in active markets. Fair values for investment securities classified in Level 2 are based on quoted market prices for similar securities in active markets. For securities where quoted prices or market prices of similar securities are not available, fair values are calculated using discounted cash flows or other market indicators.

Table of Contents

(c) Loans — Fair values of loans are estimated as follows: For variable rate loans that reprice frequently and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values resulting in a Level 3 classification. Purchased credit impaired (PCI) loans are measured at estimated fair value on the date of acquisition. Carrying value is calculated as the present value of expected cash flows and approximates fair value. Fair values for other loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality resulting in a Level 3 classification. Impaired loans are initially valued at the lower of cost or fair value. Impaired loans carried at fair value generally receive specific allocations of the allowance for credit losses. For collateral dependent real estate loans, fair value is commonly based on recent real estate appraisals. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments are usually significant and typically result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value. Non-real estate collateral may be valued using an appraisal, net book value per the borrower’s financial statements, or aging reports, adjusted or discounted based on management’s historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of the valuation, and management’s expertise and knowledge of the client and client’s business, resulting in a Level 3 fair value classification. Impaired loans are evaluated on a quarterly basis for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly. The methods utilized to estimate the fair value of loans do not necessarily represent an exit price.

(d) FHLB Stock — It is not practicable to determine the fair value of FHLB stock due to restrictions placed on its transferability.

(e) Other real estate owned — OREO is measured at fair value less estimated costs to sell when acquired, establishing a new cost basis. Fair value is commonly based on recent real estate appraisals. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. The Company records OREO as non-recurring with level 3 measurement inputs.

(f) Deposits — Fair value of demand deposit, savings, and money market accounts are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e., their carrying amount), resulting in a Level 1 classification. Fair value for fixed and variable rate certificates of deposit are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses using interest rates offered at each reporting date by the Company for certificates with similar remaining maturities resulting in a Level 2 classification.

(g) Short-Term Borrowings — The fair values of the Company’s federal funds purchased, borrowings under repurchase agreements, and other short-term borrowings, generally maturing within ninety days, are based on the market rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements resulting in a Level 2 classification.

(h) Other Borrowings — The fair values of the Company’s long-term borrowings are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on the current borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements resulting in a Level 2 classification.

The fair values of the Company’s Subordinated Debentures are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on the current borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements resulting in a Level 3 classification.

(i) Accrued Interest Receivable/Payable — The fair value of accrued interest receivable and payable is based on the fair value hierarchy of the related asset or liability.

(j) Off-Balance Sheet Instruments — Fair values for off-balance sheet, credit-related financial instruments are based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties’ credit standing. The fair value of commitments is not considered significant for financial reporting purposes.

Securities in Level 1 are mutual funds and fair values are based on quoted market prices for identical instruments traded in active markets. Fair values for available-for-sale investment securities in Level 2 are based on quoted market prices for similar securities in active markets. For securities where quoted prices or market prices of similar securities are not available, fair values are calculated using discounted cash flows or other market indicators.

Management evaluates the significance of transfers between levels based upon the nature of the financial instrument and size of the transfer relative to total assets, total liabilities or total earnings. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, no transfers between levels occurred.

There were no Level 3 assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis at or during the six months ended June 30, 2017. Also there were no liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at June 30, 2017.

Non-recurring Basis

The Company may be required, from time to time, to measure certain assets and liabilities at fair value on a non-recurring basis. These include assets and liabilities that are measured at the lower of cost or fair value that were recognized at fair value which was below cost at June 30, 2017 (in thousands).

At the time a loan is considered impaired, it is valued at the lower of cost or fair value. Impaired loans carried at fair value generally receive specific allocations of the allowance for credit losses. For collateral dependent real estate loans, fair value is commonly based on recent real estate appraisals. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments are usually significant and typically result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value. Non-real estate collateral may be valued using an appraisal, net book value per the borrower’s financial statements, or aging reports, adjusted or discounted based on management’s historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of the valuation, and management’s expertise and knowledge of the client and client’s business, resulting in a Level 3 fair value classification. The fair value of impaired loans is based on the fair value of the collateral. Impaired loans were determined to be collateral dependent and categorized as Level 3 due to ongoing real estate market conditions resulting in inactive market data, which in turn required the use of unobservable inputs and assumptions in fair value measurements. Impaired loans evaluated under the discounted cash flow method are excluded from the table above. The discounted cash flow methods as prescribed by ASC Topic 310 is not a fair value measurement since the discount rate utilized is the loan’s effective interest rate which is not a market rate. There were no changes in valuation techniques used during the six month period ended June 30, 2017.

Appraisals for collateral-dependent impaired loans are performed by certified general appraisers (for commercial properties) or certified residential appraisers (for residential properties) whose qualifications and licenses have been reviewed and verified by the Company. Once received, the assumptions and approaches utilized in the appraisal as well as the overall resulting fair value is compared with independent data sources such as recent market data or industry-wide statistics.

Note 4. Investments

The investment portfolio consists primarily of U.S. Government sponsored entity and agency securities collateralized by residential mortgage obligations, private label residential mortgage backed securities (PLRMBS), and obligations of states and political subdivisions securities. As of June 30, 2017, $105,320,000 of these securities were held as collateral for borrowing arrangements, public funds, and for other purposes.

The fair value of the available-for-sale investment portfolio reflected a net unrealized gain of $7,222,000 at June 30, 2017 compared to an unrealized loss of $891,000 at December 31, 2016. The unrealized gain recorded is net of $3,037,000 and $(375,000) in tax liabilities (benefits) as accumulated other comprehensive income within shareholders’ equity at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

During 2014, to better manage our interest rate risk, the Company transferred from available-for-sale to held-to-maturity selected municipal securities in our portfolio having a book value of approximately $31 million, a market value of approximately $32 million, and a net unrecognized gain of approximately $163,000. This transfer was completed after careful consideration of our intent and ability to hold these securities to maturity. During the first quarter of 2016, management sold certain investment securities of which management identified that five of the 13 securities sold were previously designated as held-to-maturity (HTM). Through an oversight during the portfolio restructuring analysis related to this transaction, management unintentionally sold these five HTM securities. The book value of the HTM securities sold was $8.5 million. The gain realized on the sale of the HTM securities was $696,000. As such, management was required to reclassify the remaining HTM securities with a fair value of $23.1 million to the available-for-sale designation.

Losses recognized in 2017 and 2016 were incurred in order to reposition the investment securities portfolio based on the current rate environment. The securities which were sold at a loss were acquired when the rate environment was not as volatile. As market interest rates or risks associated with a security's issuer continue to change and impact the actual or perceived values of investment securities, management may determine that selling these securities and using proceeds to purchase securities that fit with the Company’s current risk profile is appropriate and beneficial to the Company.

The provision for income taxes includes $1,110,000 and $351,000 income tax impact from the reclassification of unrealized net gains on securities to realized net gains on securities for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The provision for income taxes includes $907,000 and $173,000 income tax impact from the reclassification of unrealized net gains on available-for-sale securities to realized net gains on available-for-sale securities for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

We periodically evaluate each investment security for other-than-temporary impairment, relying primarily on industry analyst reports, observation of market conditions and interest rate fluctuations. The portion of the impairment that is attributable to a shortage in the present value of expected future cash flows relative to the amortized cost should be recorded as a current period charge to earnings. The discount rate in this analysis is the original yield expected at time of purchase.

As of June 30, 2017, the Company performed an analysis of the investment portfolio to determine whether any of the investments held in the portfolio had an other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI). Management evaluated all individual available-for-sale investment securities with an unrealized loss at June 30, 2017 and identified those that had an unrealized loss for at least a consecutive 12 month period, which had an unrealized loss at June 30, 2017 greater than 10% of the recorded book value on that date, or which had an unrealized loss of more than $10,000. Management also analyzed any securities that may have been downgraded by credit rating agencies.

For those bonds that met the evaluation criteria, management obtained and reviewed the most recently published national credit ratings for those bonds. For those bonds that were obligations of states and political subdivisions with an investment grade rating by the rating agencies, management also evaluated the financial condition of the municipality and any applicable municipal bond insurance provider and concluded during March 2016 that a $136,000 credit related impairment related to one security with a fair value of $2,995,000 and a pre-impairment amortized cost of $3,131,000 existed. The Company recorded an other-than-temporary impairment loss of $136,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2016. There were no OTTI losses recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2017. There were no OTTI losses recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2016.

U.S. Government Agencies

At June 30, 2017, the Company held 18 U.S. Government agency securities, of which none were in a loss position for less than 12 months and three were in a loss position or had been in a loss position for 12 months or more. The unrealized losses on the Company’s investments in direct obligations of U.S. government agencies were caused by interest rate changes. The contractual terms of those investments do not permit the issuer to settle the securities at a price less than the amortized costs of the investment. Because the decline in market value is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality,

Table of Contents

and because the Company has the ability and intent to hold, and it is more likely than not that it will not be required to sell, those investments until a recovery of fair value, which may be the maturity date, the Company does not consider those investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at June 30, 2017.

Obligations of States and Political Subdivisions

At June 30, 2017, the Company held 131 obligations of states and political subdivision securities of which 11 were in a loss position for less than 12 months and none were in a loss position or had been in a loss position for 12 months or more. The unrealized losses on the Company’s investments in obligations of states and political subdivision securities were caused by interest rate changes. Because the decline in market value is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality, and because the Company has the ability to hold and does not intend to sell, and it is more likely than not that it will not be required to sell those investments until a recovery of fair value, which may be maturity, the Company does not consider those investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at June 30, 2017.

U.S. Government Sponsored Entities and Agencies Collateralized by Residential Mortgage Obligations

At June 30, 2017, the Company held 145 U.S. Government sponsored entity and agency securities collateralized by residential mortgage obligations of which 31 were in a loss position for less than 12 months and 16 have been in a loss position for more than 12 months. The unrealized losses on the Company’s investments in U.S. Government sponsored entities and agencies collateralized by residential mortgage obligations were caused by interest rate changes. The contractual cash flows of those investments are guaranteed by an agency or sponsored entity of the U.S. Government. Accordingly, it is expected that the securities would not be settled at a price less than the amortized cost of the Company’s investment. Because the decline in market value is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality, and because the Company has the ability to hold and does not intend to sell, and it is more likely than not that it will not be required to sell those investments until a recovery of fair value, which may be maturity, the Company does not consider those investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at June 30, 2017.

Private Label Mortgage Backed Securities

At June 30, 2017, the Company had a total of 21 PLMBS with a remaining principal balance of $38,728,000 and a net unrealized gain of approximately $586,000. Ten of these PLMBS with a remaining principal balance of $1,460,000 had credit ratings below investment grade. Seven of the PLMBS securities were in a loss position for less than 12 months at June 30, 2017. Because the decline in market value is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality, and because the Company has the ability and intent to hold, and it is more likely than not that it will not be required to sell, those investments until a recovery of fair value, which may be the maturity date, the Company does not consider those investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at June 30, 2017. The Company continues to monitor these securities for indications that declines in value, if any, may be other-than-temporary.

Other Equity Securities

At June 30, 2017, the Company had one mutual fund equity investment which had an unrealized loss of $21,000 at June 30, 2017. The equity investment was in a loss position for less than 12 months at June 30, 2017.

At June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, loans originated under Small Business Administration (SBA) programs totaling $19,833,000 and $16,590,000, respectively, were included in the real estate and commercial categories, of which, $14,496,000 or 73% and $12,188,000 or 73%, respectively, are secured by government guarantees.

Purchased Credit Impaired Loans

The Company has loans that were acquired in acquisitions for which there was at acquisition evidence of deterioration of credit quality since origination, and for which it was probable at acquisition that all contractually required payments would not be collected.

The carrying amount of those loans is included in the balance sheet amounts of loans receivable at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. The amounts of loans at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 are as follows (in thousands):



	June 30, 2017		December 31, 2016
Commercial	$	441	$	612
Outstanding balance	$	441	$	612
Carrying amount, net of allowance of $0	$	441	$	612

Purchased credit impaired (PCI) loans are recorded at the amount paid, such that there is no carryover of the seller’s allowance for loan losses. The Company estimates the amount and timing of expected cash flows for each loan and the expected cash flows in excess of amount paid is recorded as interest income over the remaining life of the loan (accretable yield). The excess of the loan’s contractual principal and interest over expected cash flows is not recorded (nonaccretable difference). Over the life of the loan expected cash flows continue to be estimated. If the present value of expected cash flows is less than the carrying amount, a loss is recorded. If the present value of expected cash flows is greater than the carrying amount, it is recognized as part of future interest income.

Loans acquired during each year for which it was probable at acquisition that all contractually required payments would not be collected are as follows (in thousands):

Certain of the loans acquired by the Company that are within the scope of Topic ASC 310-30 are not accounted for using the income recognition model of the Topic because the Company cannot reliably estimate cash flows expected to be collected. The carrying amounts of such loans (which are included in the carrying amount, net of allowance, described above) are as follows.

Allowance for Credit Losses

The allowance for credit losses (the “Allowance”) is a valuation allowance for probable incurred credit losses in the Company’s loan portfolio. The Allowance is established through a provision for credit losses which is charged to expense. Additions to the Allowance are expected to maintain the adequacy of the total Allowance after credit losses and loan growth. Credit exposures determined to be uncollectible are charged against the Allowance. Cash received on previously charged-off credits is recorded as a recovery to the Allowance. The overall Allowance consists of two primary components, specific reserves related to impaired loans and general reserves for probable incurred losses related to loans that are not impaired.

The following table shows the summary of activities for the Allowance as of and for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 by portfolio segment (in thousands):

Troubled Debt Restructurings:

As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company has a recorded investment in troubled debt restructurings of $2,847,000 and $3,109,000, respectively. The Company has allocated $30,000 and $82,000 of specific reserves to loans whose terms have been modified in troubled debt restructurings as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. The Company has committed to lend no additional amounts as of June 30, 2017 to customers with outstanding loans that are classified as troubled debt restructurings.

During the six month period ended June 30, 2017 two loans were modified as troubled debt restructurings. The modification of the terms of such loans included one or a combination of the following: a reduction of the stated interest rate of the loan or an extension of the maturity date at a stated rate of interest lower than the current market rate for new debt with similar risk. During the same period, there were no troubled debt restructurings in which the amount of principal or accrued interest owed from the borrower was forgiven or which resulted in a charge-off or change to the allowance for loan losses.

The following table presents loans by class modified as troubled debt restructurings that occurred during the six months ended June 30, 2017 (in thousands):



Troubled Debt Restructurings:	Number of Loans	Pre-Modification Outstanding Recorded Investment (1)		Principal Modification (2)		Post Modification Outstanding Recorded Investment (3)		Outstanding Recorded Investment
Real Estate:
Agricultural real estate	1	$	59	$	—	$	59	$	59
Consumer:
Equity loans and lines of credit	1	62		—		66		64
Total	2	$	121	$	—	$	125	$	123


(1)	Amounts represent the recorded investment in loans before recognizing effects of the TDR, if any.


(2)	Principal Modification includes principal forgiveness at the time of modification, contingent principal forgiveness granted over the life of the loan based on borrower performance, and principal that has been legally separated and deferred to the end of the loan, with zero percent contractual interest rate.


(3)	Balance outstanding after principal modification, if any borrower reduction to recorded investment.

The following table presents loans by class modified as troubled debt restructurings that occurred during the six months ended June 30, 2016 (in thousands):

Commercial:
Commercial and Industrial	2	$	45	$	—	$	45	$	44

During the quarter ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 no loans were modified as troubled debt restructuring.

A loan is considered to be in payment default once it is 90 days contractually past due under the modified terms. There were no defaults on troubled debt restructurings, within twelve months following the modification, during the six months ended June 30, 2017 or June 30, 2016.

Note 6. Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Business combinations involving the Company’s acquisition of the equity interests or net assets of another enterprise give rise to goodwill. Total goodwill at June 30, 2017 was $40,311,000 consisting of $14,643,000, $8,934,000, $6,340,000, and $10,394,000 representing the excess of the cost of Service 1st Bancorp, Bank of Madera County, Visalia Community Bank, and Sierra Vista Bank respectively, over the net amounts assigned to assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transactions accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. The value of goodwill is ultimately derived from the Company’s ability to generate net earnings after the acquisitions and is not deductible for tax purposes. The fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed are subject to adjustment during the first twelve months after the acquisition date if additional information becomes available to indicate a more accurate or appropriate value for an asset or liability. A decline in net earnings could be indicative of a decline in the fair value of goodwill and result in impairment. For that reason, goodwill is assessed at least annually for impairment.

Table of Contents

The Company has selected September 30 as the date to perform the annual impairment test. As of September 30, 2016, management assessed qualitative factors including performance trends and noted no factors indicating goodwill impairment.

Goodwill is also tested for impairment between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the Company below its carrying amount. No such events or circumstances arose during the first six months of 2017.

The intangible assets at June 30, 2017 represent the estimated fair value of the core deposit relationships acquired in the acquisition of Sierra Vista Bank in 2016 of $508,000 and the 2013 acquisition of Visalia Community Bank of $1,365,000. Core deposit intangibles are being amortized by the straight-line method (which approximates the effective interest method) over an estimated life of ten years from the date of acquisition. The carrying value of intangible assets at June 30, 2017 was $1,289,000 net of $584,000 in accumulated amortization expense. Management evaluates the remaining useful lives quarterly to determine whether events or circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining periods of amortization. Based on the evaluation, no changes to the remaining useful lives was required in the second quarter of 2017. Management performed an annual impairment test on core deposit intangibles as of September 30, 2016 and determined no impairment was necessary. Amortization expense recognized was $94,000 and $68,000 for the six month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Amortization expense recognized was $47,000 and $34,000 for the three month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

The following table summarizes the Company’s estimated remaining core deposit intangible amortization expense for each of the next five years (in thousands):



Years Ending	Estimated Core Deposit Intangible Amortization
2017	$	95
2018	188
2019	188
2020	188
2021	188
Thereafter	442

Note 7. Borrowing Arrangements

As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company had no Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) of San Francisco advances.

FHLB advances are secured under the standard credit and securities-backed credit programs. Investment securities with amortized costs totaling $467,000 and $584,000, and market values totaling $509,000 and $637,000 at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, were pledged under the securities-backed credit program. The Bank’s credit limit varies according to the amount and composition of the investment and loan portfolios pledged as collateral. As of June 30, 2017, the Company had no Federal funds purchased. The Company had $400,000 in Federal funds purchased on December 31, 2016.

Note 8. Income Taxes

The Company files its income taxes on a consolidated basis with its subsidiary. The allocation of income tax expense (benefit) represents each entity’s proportionate share of the consolidated provision for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the tax consequences of temporary differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment. On the consolidated balance sheets, net deferred tax assets are included in accrued interest receivable and other assets. The Company establishes a tax valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that a recorded tax benefit is not expected to be fully realized. The expense to create the tax valuation allowance is recorded as an additional income tax expense in the period the tax valuation allowance is created. Effective January 1, 2017, the Company adopted ASU 2016-09 “Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting” which resulted in the recognition of $12,000 and $104,000 in excess tax benefits related to the exercise of stock options during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017.

Accounting for uncertainty in income taxes - The benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be

sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above is reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying balance sheet along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of tax expense in the consolidated statements of income. As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the reserve for uncertain tax positions attributable to tax deductions related to enterprise zone activities in California was $197,000 and $286,000, respectively. The Company does not expect the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits to significantly increase or decrease in the next 12 months.

Note 9. Commitments and Contingencies

In the normal course of business, the Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheets. The contract or notional amounts of these instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Company has in particular classes of financial instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for loans.

Commitments to extend credit amounting to $311,416,000 and $259,415,000 were outstanding at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract unless waived by the Bank. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee.

Included in commitments to extend credit are undisbursed lines of credit totaling $310,621,000 and $257,557,000 at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. Undisbursed lines of credit include credits whereby customers can repay principal and request principal advances during the term of the loan at their discretion and most expire between one and 12 months.

Included in undisbursed lines of credit are commitments for the undisbursed portions of construction loans totaling $80,727,000 and $43,208,000 as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. These commitments are agreements to lend to customers, subject to meeting certain construction progress requirements established in the contracts. The underlying construction loans have fixed expiration dates.

Standby letters of credit and financial guarantees amounting to $795,000 and $1,858,000 were outstanding at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. Standby letters of credit and financial guarantees are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support private borrowing arrangements. Most standby letters of credit and guarantees carry a one year term or less. The fair value of the liability related to these standby letters of credit, which represents the fees received for their issuance, was not significant at June 30, 2017 or December 31, 2016. The Company recognizes these fees as revenue over the term of the commitment or when the commitment is used.

The Company generally requires collateral or other security to support financial instruments with credit risk. Management does not anticipate any material loss will result from the outstanding commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit and financial guarantees. At June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the balance of a contingent allocation for probable loan loss experience on unfunded obligations was $225,000 and$125,000, respectively. The contingent allocation for probable loan loss experience on unfunded obligations is calculated by management using an appropriate, systematic, and consistently applied process. While related to credit losses, this allocation is not a part of the allowance for credit losses and is considered separately as a liability for accounting and regulatory reporting purposes, and is included in Other Liabilities on the Company’s balance sheet.

The Company is subject to legal proceedings and claims which arise in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the amount of ultimate liability with respect to such actions will not materially affect the consolidated financial position or consolidated results of operations of the Company.

Note 10. Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share (EPS), which excludes dilution, is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock, such as stock options, stock appreciation rights settled in stock or restricted stock awards, result in the issuance of common stock which shares in the earnings of the Company. A reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted EPS computations is as follows:

No outstanding options or restricted stock awards were anti-dilutive for the six months ended June 30, 2017. Outstanding options and restricted stock of 8,850 were not factored into the calculation of dilutive stock options for the six months ended June 30, 2016, because they were anti-dilutive. During the three-month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 no options or restricted stock awards were anti-dilutive.

Note 11. Share-Based Compensation

The Company has three share-based compensation plans as described below. Share-based compensation cost recognized for those plans was $233,000 and $108,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. For the quarters ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, share-based compensation was $30,000 and $55,000, respectively. The recognized tax benefits for the share-based compensation expense and exercise of stock options, resulted in the recognition of $104,000 and $28,000, respectively, for the six month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016. For the quarters ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, recognized tax benefits were $10,000 and $3,000, respectively. The Company adopted ASU 2016-09 “Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting” during the six months ended June 30, 2017.

The Central Valley Community Bancorp 2000 Stock Option Plan (2000 Plan) expired on November 15, 2010. The Central Valley Community Bancorp 2005 Omnibus Incentive Plan (2005 Plan) was adopted in May 2005 and expired March 16, 2015.

The Central Valley Community Bancorp 2015 Omnibus Incentive Plan (2015 Plan) was adopted in May 2015. The plan provides for awards in the form of incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, and restricted stock. The plan also allows for performance awards that may be in the form of cash or shares of the Company, including restricted stock. Outstanding arrangements to issue shares under this plan including options, will continue in force until expiration according to their respective terms.

Effective June 2, 2017, the Company adopted an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP) whereby our employees may purchase Company common stock through payroll deductions of between one percent and 15 percent of pay in each pay period. Shares are purchased at end of the six-month offering period at a 10 percent discount from the closing market price on the last day of each offering period. The Company has reserved 500,000 common shares to be set aside for for the ESPP, and there were 500,000 shares available for future purchase under the plan as of June 30, 2017.

Table of Contents

Stock Option Plan

The Company bases the fair value of the options granted on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes Merton option pricing model that uses assumptions based on expected option life and the level of estimated forfeitures, expected stock volatility, risk free interest rate, and dividend yield. The expected term and level of estimated forfeitures of the Company’s options are based on the Company’s own historical experience. Stock volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock. The risk-free rate is based on the U. S. Treasury yield curve for the periods within the contractual life of the options in effect at the time of grant. The compensation cost for options granted is based on the weighted average grant date fair value per share.

No options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock were granted during the six month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016.

A summary of the combined activity of the Company’s stock option compensation plans for the six month periods ended June 30, 2017 follows (in thousands, except per share amounts):

As of June 30, 2017, there was $7,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested stock options granted under all plans. The cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 0.20 years. No options vested during the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016.

Restricted Common Stock Awards

The 2005 Plan and 2015 Plan provide for the issuance of restricted common stock to directors and officers. Restricted common stock grants typically vest over a five-year period. Restricted common stock (all of which are shares of our common stock) is subject to forfeiture if employment terminates prior to vesting. The cost of these awards is recognized over the vesting period of the awards based on the fair value of our common stock on the date of the grant.

The following table summarizes restricted stock activity for the six month period ended June 30, 2017 as follows:

Table of Contents



	Shares		Weighted Average Grant-Date Fair Value
Nonvested outstanding shares at January 1, 2017	93,501		$	13.35
Granted	—		$	—
Vested	(11,205	)	$	12.66
Forfeited	(1,110	)	$	13.86
Nonvested outstanding shares at June 30, 2017	81,186		$	13.44

There were no grants of restricted stock during the quarter ended June 30, 2017 or 2016. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2017, no shares of restricted common stock were issued from outstanding grants under the 2005 and 2015 Plans. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2016, 8,850 shares of restricted common stock were issued from outstanding grants under the 2005 Plan. The restricted common stock had a fair market value of $11.30 per share on the date of issuance. These restricted common stock awards vest 20% after Year 1, and thereafter, 20% of the remaining restricted stock will vest on each anniversary of the initial award commencement date and will be fully vested on the fifth such anniversary.

As of June 30, 2017, there were 81,186 shares of restricted stock that are nonvested and expected to vest. As of June 30, 2017, there was $812,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested restricted common stock awards. Restricted stock compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average remaining period of 3.28 years and will be adjusted for subsequent changes in estimated forfeitures. Restricted common stock awards had an intrinsic value of $1,799,000 at June 30, 2017.

Note 12. Subsequent Events

On July 19, 2017, the board of directors declared a $0.06 per share cash dividend payable on August 18, 2017 to shareholders of record as of August 4, 2017.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

Critical accounting policies are defined as those that are reflective of significant judgments and uncertainties, and could potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. We believe that the Company’s most critical accounting policies are those which the Company’s financial condition depends upon, and which involve the most complex or subjective decisions or assessments.

There have been no material changes to the Company’s critical accounting policies during the six months ended June 30, 2017. Please refer to the Company’s 2016 Annual Report to Shareholders on Form 10-K for a complete listing of critical accounting policies.

This discussion should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, appearing elsewhere in this report.

OVERVIEW

Second Quarter of 2017

In the second quarter of 2017, our consolidated net income was $4,948,000 compared to net income of $6,058,000 for the same period in 2016. Diluted EPS was $0.40 for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 compared to $0.55 for the same period in 2016. The decrease in net income during the second quarter of 2017 compared to the same period in 2016 is primarily due to a lower reverse provision in credit losses and an increase in total non-interest expenses of $1,412,000. The decrease was partially offset by an increase in net interest income of $2,578,000, an increase in total non-interest income of $1,582,000, and a decrease in the provision for income taxes of $592,000. The Company recorded $150,000 and $4,600,000 reverse provisions for credit losses during the second quarters of 2017 and 2016, respectively. Net interest income before the provision for credit losses increased $2,578,000 or 23.00% for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 compared to the same period in 2016.

Net interest margin (fully tax equivalent basis) increased to 4.48% for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 compared to 4.18% for the same period in 2016. The cost of deposits (calculated by dividing annualized interest expense on interest bearing deposits by total deposits), remained flat at 0.08% for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 compared to 0.08% for the same period in 2016.

Non-interest income increased $1,582,000 or 62.93% to $4,096,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 compared to $2,514,000 in the same period in 2016, primarily due to an increase in net realized gains on sales and calls of investment securities of $1,737,000. For the quarter ended June 30, 2017, service charge income increased $94,000, interchange fees increased $61,000, partially offset by a decrease of $11,000 in FHLB dividends, and a decrease of $98,000 in loan placement fees compared to the same period in 2016 Non-interest expense increased $1,412,000 or 15.06% for the comparable periods primarily due to increases in salaries and employee benefits, professional services, acquisition and integration expenses, data processing expenses, and license and maintenance contract expenses, partially offset by decreases in directors’ expenses, regulatory assessments, and ATM/Debit card expenses.

Annualized return on average equity for the second quarter of 2017 decreased to 11.41% compared to 16.24% for the same period in 2016. Total average equity increased to $173,405,000 for the second quarter of 2017 compared to $149,234,000 for the second quarter of 2016. The decrease in return on average equity was primarily due to a decrease in net income, as well as an increase in shareholders’ equity which resulted primarily from the stock issued in connection with the Sierra Vista Bank acquisition which occurred in 2016. The Company declared and paid $0.06 per share in cash dividends to holders of common stock during the second quarter of 2017, consistent with $0.06 in dividends declared and paid during the second quarter of 2016.

Our average total assets increased $175,431,000 or 13.84% to $1,443,074,000 during the second quarter of 2017 compared to the same period in 2016. Total average interest-earning assets increased $160,222,000 or 13.80% in the second quarter of 2017 compared to the same period of 2016. Average total loans, including nonaccrual loans, increased $144,950,000 or 23.37% in the second quarter of 2017 compared to the same period in 2016. Average total investments and interest-earning deposits increased $14,924,000 or 2.77% in the period ended June 30, 2017 compared to the same period in 2016. Average interest-bearing liabilities increased $79,185,000 or 11.23% in the period ended June 30, 2017 compared to the same period in 2016. Average non-interest bearing demand deposits increased 18.47% to $468,690,000 in 2017 compared to $395,603,000 in 2016. The ratio of average non-interest bearing demand deposits to average total deposits was 37.57% in the second quarter of 2017 compared to 36.11% in 2016.

First Six Months of 2017

For the six months ended June 30, 2017, our consolidated net income was $9,198,000 compared to $9,461,000 for the same period in 2016. Diluted EPS was $0.75 for the first six months of 2017 compared to $0.86 for the first six months of 2016. Net income for the six month period decreased 2.78% in 2017 compared to 2016, primarily driven by a lower reverse provision for credit losses, and an increase in non-interest expenses. The decrease was partially offset by an increase in net realized gains on sales and calls of investment securities, an increase in net interest income, and a decrease in provision for income taxes. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2017, our net interest margin (fully tax equivalent basis) increased 34 basis points to 4.42%. Net interest income before the provision for credit losses increased $5,283,000 or 24.22%. Net interest income during the first six months of 2017 and 2016 benefited by approximately $1,118,000 and $491,000, respectively, from prepayment penalties and payoff of loans previously on nonaccrual status. Excluding these benefits, net interest income for the first six months ended June 30, 2017, increased by $4,656,000 compared to the period ended June 30, 2016. Non-interest income increased $1,124,000 or 21.54%, and non-interest expense increased $2,549,000 or 13.89% in the first six months of 2017 compared to 2016. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company recorded a reverse provision for credit losses of $250,000 compared to $4,850,000 during same period in 2016. These reversals were primarily necessitated by net recoveries of previously charged-off loans totaling $221,000 and $5,112,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Table of Contents

Annualized return on average equity for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was 10.81% compared to 12.92% for the same period in 2016. Annualized return on average assets was 1.27% and 1.50% for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Total average equity was $170,089,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $146,491,000 for the same period in 2016. The increase in shareholders’ equity was driven by the retention of earnings net of dividends paid, and an increase in unrealized gains on available-for-sale securities recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI).

Our average total assets increased $181,179,000 or 14.32% in the first six months of 2017 compared to the same period in 2016. Total average interest-earning assets increased $167,667,000 or 14.47% comparing the first six months of 2017 to the same period in 2016. Average total loans, including nonaccrual loans, increased $147,636,000 or 24.29% comparing the first six months of 2017 compared to the same period in 2016. Average total investments (securities and interest-earning deposits) increased $18,939,000, or 3.45% in the six-month period ended June 30, 2017 compared to the same period in 2016, with average interest-bearing liabilities increasing $90,549,000 or 12.97% on a period to period comparison.

Our net interest margin (fully tax equivalent basis) for the first six months ended June 30, 2017 was 4.42% compared to 4.08% for the same period in 2016. The increase in net interest margin in the period-to-period comparison resulted primarily from an increase in the yield on the Company’s investment portfolio, and an increase in the yield on the loan portfolio. The effective yield on interest-earning assets increased 35 basis points to 4.51% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2017 compared to 4.16% for the same period in 2016. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2017, the effective yield on investment securities, including Federal funds sold and interest-earning deposits in other banks, increased 25 basis points, compared to the same period in the prior year, and the effective yield on loans increased 24 basis points. The cost of total interest-bearing liabilities decreased one basis point to 0.14% compared to 0.15% for the same period in 2016. The cost of total deposits, including noninterest bearing accounts remained constant at 0.08% for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016.

Net interest income before the provision for credit losses for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was $27,094,000 compared to $21,811,000 for the same period in 2016, an increase of $5,283,000 or 24.22%. Net interest income increased as a result of yield changes, asset mix changes, and an increase in average earning assets, partially offset by an increase in interest-bearing liabilities. The Bank recovered $1,118,000 and $491,000, of foregone interest income and prepaid payment penalties in 2017 and 2016, respectively. The Bank had non-accrual loans totaling $3,099,000 at June 30, 2017, compared to $2,180,000 at December 31, 2016 and $1,750,000 at June 30, 2016. The Company had no other real estate owned at June 30, 2017, December 31, 2016, or June 30, 2016. However, the Company held other repossessed assets at their estimated realizable value of $194,000 as of June 30, 2017 as compared to $362,000 as of December 31, 2016.

At June 30, 2017, we had total net loans of $759,691,000, total assets of $1,444,836,000, total deposits of $1,245,391,000, and shareholders’ equity of $177,167,000.

Key Factors in Evaluating Financial Condition and Operating Performance

As a publicly traded community bank holding company, we focus on several key factors including:

· Return to our shareholders;

· Return on average assets;

· Development of revenue streams, including net interest income and non-interest income;

· Asset quality;

· Asset growth;

· Capital adequacy;

· Operating efficiency; and

· Liquidity

Return to Our Shareholders

Our return to shareholders is determined in a ratio that measures the return on average equity (ROE). ROE is a ratio that measures net income divided by average shareholders' equity. Our annualized ROE was 10.81% for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to 9.84% for the year ended December 31, 2016 and 12.92% for the six months ended June 30, 2016. Our net income for the six months ended June 30, 2017 decreased $263,000 or 2.78% to $9,198,000 compared to $9,461,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2016, primarily driven by a lower reverse provision for credit losses, and an increase in non-interest expenses, partially offset by an increase in net interest income, an increase in net realized gains on sales and calls of investment securities, and an decrease in provision for income taxes. Net interest margin (NIM) increased 34 basis points for the six-month period ended June 30, 2017 compared to the six month period ended June 30, 2016. Diluted EPS was $0.75 for the six

Table of Contents

months ended June 30, 2017 and $0.86 for the same period in 2016.

Return on Average Assets

Our return on average assets (ROA) is a ratio that we use to compare our performance with other banks and bank holding companies. Our annualized ROA for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was 1.27% compared to 1.15% for the year ended December 31, 2016 and 1.50% for the annualized six months ended June 30, 2016. The decrease in ROA for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to June 2016 was due to a decrease in net income, as well as an increase in average assets. Average assets for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was $1,446,781,000 compared to $1,321,007,000 for the year ended December 31, 2016. ROA for our peer group was 0.99% for the year ended December 31, 2016. Peer group data from SNL Financial includes bank holding companies in central California with assets from $600 million to $2.5 billion.

Development of Revenue Streams

Over the past several years, we have focused on not only improving net income, but improving the consistency of our revenue streams in order to create more predictable future earnings and reduce the effect of changes in our operating environment on our net income. Specifically, we have focused on net interest income through a variety of processes, including increases in average interest earning assets, and minimizing the effects of the continuing declines in interest rates on our net interest margin. The Company’s net interest margin (fully tax equivalent basis) increased to 4.42% for the six months ended June 30, 2017, compared to 4.08% for the same period in 2016. The increase in net interest margin was principally due to continued growth in higher yielding earning assets such as loans rather than investment securities, while interest bearing liabilities continue to benefit from a low interest rate. The Company’s net interest margin was also positively impacted by the increase in the yield on the Company’s loan portfolio. In comparing the two periods ending June 30, 2017 and 2016, the effective yield on total earning assets increased 35 basis points, while the cost of total interest bearing liabilities decreased one basis point and the cost of total deposits remained unchanged at 0.08%. Net interest income before the provision for credit losses for the six-month period ended June 30, 2017 was $27,094,000 compared to $21,811,000 for the same period in 2016.

Our non-interest income is generally made up of service charges and fees on deposit accounts, fee income from loan placements and other services, appreciation in cash surrender value of bank-owned life insurance, and net gains from sales of investment securities. Non-interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2017 increased $1,124,000 or 21.54%, to $6,342,000 compared to $5,218,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The increase resulted primarily from increases in net realized gains on sales and calls of investment securities, service charge income, interchange fees, Federal Home Loan Bank dividends, and an increase in appreciation in cash surrender value of bank-owned life insurance, compared to the comparable 2016 period. Further detail of non-interest income is provided below.

Asset Quality

For all banks and bank holding companies, asset quality has a significant impact on the overall financial condition and results of operations. Asset quality is measured in terms of percentage of total loans and total assets and is a key element in estimating the future earnings of a company. Total nonperforming assets were $3,293,000 and $2,542,000 at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. Nonperforming assets totaled 0.43% of gross loans as of June 30, 2017 and 0.34% of gross loans as of December 31, 2016. The ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets was 0.23% as of June 30, 2017 and 0.18% as of December 31, 2016. The nonperforming assets at June 30, 2017 includes repossessed assets of $194,000 compared to $362,000 repossessed assets at December 31, 2016 with the balance of nonperforming assets consisting of nonaccrual loans of $3,099,000 and $2,180,000, respectively. The Company had no other real estate owned (OREO) at June 30, 2017 or December 31, 2016. Management maintains certain loans that have been brought current by the borrower (less than 30 days delinquent) on nonaccrual status until such time as management has determined that the loans are likely to remain current in future periods.

The ratio of nonperforming loans to total loans was 0.40% as of June 30, 2017 and 0.29% as of December 31, 2016. The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of outstanding loan balance was 1.21% as of June 30, 2017 and 1.23% as of December 31, 2016. The ratio of net charge-off (recovery) to average loans was (0.06)% as of June 30, 2017 and (0.86)% as of December 31, 2016.

Asset Growth

As revenues from both net interest income and non-interest income are a function of asset size, the growth in assets has a direct impact in increasing net income and therefore ROE and ROA. The majority of our assets are loans and investment securities, and the majority of our liabilities are deposits, and therefore the ability to generate deposits as a funding source for loans and investments is fundamental to our asset growth. Total assets increased by $1,513,000 or 0.10% during the six months ended June 30, 2017 to $1,444,836,000 compared to $1,443,323,000 as of December 31, 2016. Total gross loans increased by 1.63% or $12,360,000 to $768,988,000 as of June 30, 2017 compared to $756,628,000 as of December 31, 2016. Total deposits decreased

Table of Contents

0.84% to $1,245,391,000 as of June 30, 2017 compared to $1,255,979,000 as of December 31, 2016. Our loan-to-deposit ratio at June 30, 2017 was 61.75% compared to 60.24% at December 31, 2016. The loan-to-deposit ratio of our peers was 78.96% at December 31, 2016. Further discussion of loans and deposits is below.

Capital Adequacy

Capital serves as a source of funds and helps protect depositors and shareholders against potential losses. The Company has historically maintained substantial levels of capital. The assessment of capital adequacy is dependent on several factors including asset quality, earnings trends, liquidity and economic conditions. Maintenance of adequate capital levels is integral to providing stability to the Company. The Company needs to maintain substantial levels of regulatory capital to give it flexibility in the changing regulatory environment and to respond to changes in the market and economic conditions including acquisition opportunities.

The Company and the Bank are each subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can cause certain mandatory and discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a material effect on our financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative and qualitative measures. These measures were established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy. As of June 30, 2017, the Company and the Bank were considered “well capitalized” under this regulatory framework. The Company’s regulatory capital ratios are presented in the table in the “Capital” section below.

Operating Efficiency

Operating efficiency is the measure of how efficiently earnings before provision for credit losses and taxes are generated as a percentage of revenue. A lower ratio is more favorable. The Company’s efficiency ratio (operating expenses, excluding amortization of intangibles and foreclosed property expense, divided by net interest income before provision for credit losses (computed on a tax equivalent basis) plus non-interest income, excluding gains and losses from sales of securities and OREO, and gains related to the collection of life insurance proceeds) was 62.88% for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to 67.76% for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The improvement in the efficiency ratio is due to the growth in revenues outpacing the growth in non-interest expense. Further discussion of the change in net interest income and increase in operating expenses is below.

The Company’s net interest income before provision for credit losses on a non tax-equivalent basis plus non-interest income, investment securities related gains, and gain related to the collection of life insurance proceeds, increased 21.41% to $32,805,000 for the first six months of 2017 compared to $27,021,000 for the same period in 2016, while operating expenses, net of losses on sale of assets and amortization of core deposit intangibles, increased 12.65% to $20,627,000 from $18,310,000 for the same period in 2016.

Liquidity

Liquidity management involves our ability to meet cash flow requirements arising from fluctuations in deposit levels and demands of daily operations, which include providing for customers’ credit needs, funding of securities purchases, and ongoing repayment of borrowings. Our liquidity is actively managed on a daily basis and reviewed periodically by our management and Directors’ Asset/Liability Committee. This process is intended to ensure the maintenance of sufficient liquidity to meet our funding needs, including adequate cash flow for off-balance sheet commitments. Our primary sources of liquidity are derived from financing activities which include the acceptance of customer and, to a lesser extent, broker deposits, Federal funds facilities and advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco (FHLB). We have available unsecured lines of credit with correspondent banks totaling approximately $40,000,000 and secured borrowing lines of approximately $218,445,000 with the FHLB. These funding sources are augmented by collection of principal and interest on loans, the routine maturities and pay downs of securities from our investment securities portfolio, the stability of our core deposits, and the ability to sell investment securities. Primary uses of funds include origination and purchases of loans, withdrawals of and interest payments on deposits, purchases of investment securities, and payment of operating expenses.

We had liquid assets (cash and due from banks, interest-earning deposits in other banks, Federal funds sold and available-for-sale securities) totaling $582,712,000 or 40.33% of total assets at June 30, 2017 and $586,317,000 or 40.62% of total assets as of December 31, 2016.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net Income for the First Six Months Ended June 30, 2017 Compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2016:

Table of Contents

Net income decreased to $9,198,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $9,461,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2016. Basic and diluted earnings per share for June 30, 2017 were $0.75 and $0.75, respectively. Basic and diluted earnings per share for the same period in 2016 were $0.86 and $0.86, respectively. Annualized ROE was 10.81% for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to 12.92% for the six months ended June 30, 2016. Annualized ROA for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 was 1.27% and 1.50%, respectively.

The decrease in net income for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the same period in 2016 was primarily attributed to a lower reverse provision for credit losses, and an increase in non-interest expenses, partially offset by an increase in net realized gains on sales and calls of investment securities, an increase in net interest income, and a decrease in provision for income taxes. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company recorded a reverse provision for credit losses of $250,000, compared to a $4,850,000 reverse provision during the six months ended June 30, 2016.

Interest Income and Expense

Net interest income is the most significant component of our income from operations. Net interest income (the “interest rate spread”) is the difference between the gross interest and fees earned on the loan and investment portfolios and the interest paid on deposits and other borrowings. Net interest income depends on the volume of and interest rate earned on interest earning assets and the volume of and interest rate paid on interest bearing liabilities.

The following table sets forth a summary of average balances with corresponding interest income and interest expense as well as average yield and cost information for the periods presented. Average balances are derived from daily balances, and nonaccrual loans are not included as interest earning assets for purposes of this table.

Interest and fee income from loans increased $4,768,000 or 29.62% for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the same period in 2016. Net interest income during the first six months of 2017 was positively impacted by an increase in average total loans by $147,959,000 or 24.46% to $752,819,000 compared to $604,860,000 for the same period in 2016. The yield on average loans, excluding nonaccrual loans, was 5.59% for the six months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to 5.35% for the same period in 2016. The acquisition of Sierra Vista Bank (SVB) attributed approximately $2,973,000 of the increase in net interest income. Net interest income was positively impacted during the six months ended June 30, 2017 by $2,310,000 from our continued organic growth including the receipt of nonrecurring income from prepayment penalties and payoff of nonaccrual loans of approximately $1,118,000 as compared to a $491,000 net reversal of interest income in the same period in 2016. We were successful in implementing interest rate floors on many of our adjustable rate loans to partially offset the effects of the historically low prime interest rate experienced over the last few years. The loan floors will cause net interest margin pressure in certain rising interest rate scenarios. We are committed to providing our customers with competitive pricing without sacrificing asset quality and value to our shareholders.

Interest income from total investments on a non tax-equivalent basis (total investments include investment securities, Federal funds sold, interest bearing deposits with other banks, and other securities) increased $571,000 in the first six months of 2017 to $6,794,000 compared to $6,223,000, for the same period in 2016. The yield on average total investments (total securities and interest-earning deposits) increased 25 basis points to 3.10% for the six month period ended June 30, 2017 compared to 2.85% for the same period in 2016. Average total securities and interest-earning deposits for the first six months of 2017 increased $18,939,000 or 3.45% to $567,993,000 compared to $549,054,000 for the same period in 2016. Income from investments represents 25.08% of net interest income for the first six months of 2017 compared to 28.53% for the same period in 2016.

In an effort to increase yields, without accepting unreasonable risk, a significant portion of the investment purchases have been in residential mortgage-backed securities (MBS) and collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs). At June 30, 2017, we held $231,217,000 or 43.78% of the total fair value of the investment portfolio in MBS and CMOs with an average yield of 2.02% as compared to $181,064,000 and $214,521,000 with average yields of 1.88% and 2.06% at December 31, 2016 and June 30, 2016, respectively. We invest in CMOs and MBS as part of our overall strategy to increase our net interest margin. CMOs and MBS by their nature react to changes in interest rates. In a normal declining rate environment, prepayments from MBS and CMOs would be expected to increase and the expected life of the investment would be expected to shorten. Conversely, if interest rates increase, prepayments normally would be expected to decline and the average life of the MBS and CMOs would be expected to extend. However, in the current economic environment, prepayments may not behave according to historical norms. Premium amortization and discount accretion of these investments affects our net interest income. Management monitors the prepayment speed of these investments and adjusts premium amortization and discount accretion based on several factors. These factors include the type of investment, the investment structure, interest rates, interest rates on new

Table of Contents

mortgage loans, expectation of interest rate changes, current economic conditions, the level of principal remaining on the bond, the bond coupon rate, the bond origination date, and volume of available bonds in market. The calculation of premium amortization and discount accretion represents management’s reasonable estimate of principal pay downs inherent in the total investment portfolio.

The net-of-tax unrealized gain on the investment portfolio was $4,185,000 at June 30, 2017 and is reflected in the Company’s equity. At June 30, 2017, the average life of the investment portfolio was 5.83 years and the fair value of the portfolio reflected a net pre-tax unrealized gain of $7,222,000. Management reviews fair value declines on individual investment securities to determine whether they represent an other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI). Refer to Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) for more detail. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, no OTTI was recorded. The Company recorded an other-than-temporary impairment loss of $136,000 during the six month period ended June 30, 2016. Additional deterioration in the market values of our investment securities, if any, may require the Company to recognize OTTI losses in future periods.

A component of the Company’s strategic plan has been to use its investment portfolio to offset, in part, its interest rate risk relating to variable rate loans. At June 30, 2017, we estimate an immediate rate increase of 200 basis points would result in an estimated decrease in the market value of the investment portfolio by approximately $(38,438,000) or (7.40)%. Conversely, with an immediate rate decrease of 200 basis points, the estimated increase in the market value of the investment portfolio would be $33,392,000 or 6.42%. Our modeling environment assumes management would take no action during an immediate shock of 200 basis points. However, the Company uses those increments to measure its interest rate risk in accordance with regulatory requirements and risk tolerance policy limits established by the Board of Directors to measure the possible future risk in the investment portfolio.

Management’s review of all investments before purchase includes an analysis of how the security will perform under several interest rate scenarios to monitor whether investments are consistent with our investment policy. The policy addresses issues of average life, duration, concentration guidelines, prohibited investments, impairment, and prohibited practices.

Total interest income on a non-tax equivalent basis for the six months ended June 30, 2017 increased $5,339,000 or 23.92% to $27,658,000 compared to $22,319,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The yield on interest earning assets increased 35 basis points to 4.51% on a fully tax equivalent basis for the six months ended June 30, 2017 from 4.16% for the period ended June 30, 2016, primarily due to the increase in volume of loans and investment securities. Average interest earning assets increased to $1,326,406,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $1,158,739,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The $167,667,000 increase in average earning assets was attributed to the $147,959,000 or 24.46% increase in average loans and the $18,939,000 increase in average investments.

Interest expense on deposits for the six months ended June 30, 2017 increased $40,000 or 8.89% to $490,000 compared to $450,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2016. This increase in interest expense was primarily due to growth in the average balance of interest bearing deposits. The average interest rate on interest bearing deposits remained unchanged at 0.13% for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 as a result of the ongoing low interest rate environment. Average interest-bearing deposits increased 12.93% or $89,549,000 to $782,311,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $692,762,000 for the same period ended June 30, 2016.

Average other borrowed funds increased $1,000,000 or 19.40% to $6,155,000 with an effective rate of 2.40% for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $5,155,000 with an effective rate of 2.25% for the six months ended June 30, 2016. Total interest expense on other borrowed funds was $74,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and $58,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2016. Other borrowings include advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB), advances on available unsecured lines of credit with correspondent banks, and junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures. The debentures were acquired in the merger with Service 1st and carry a floating rate based on the three month LIBOR plus a margin of 1.60%. The rates were 2.76% and 2.23% at June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. See the section on Financial Condition for more detail.

The cost of our interest-bearing liabilities decreased one basis point to 0.14% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2017 compared to 0.15% for 2016. The cost of total deposits remained unchanged at 0.08% for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016. Average non-interest bearing demand deposits increased 16.61% to $471,398,000 in 2017 compared to $404,235,000 for 2016. The ratio of average non-interest bearing demand deposits to average total deposits increased to 37.60% in the six-month period of 2017 compared to 36.85% for the same period in 2016.

Net Interest Income before Provision for Credit Losses

Net interest income before provision for credit losses for the six months ended June 30, 2017 increased by $5,283,000 or 24.22% to $27,094,000 compared to $21,811,000 for the same period in 2016. The increase was a result of yield changes, an increase in average earning assets, asset mix changes, slightly offset by a decrease in the average interest rate of interest bearing deposits, and an increase in average interest bearing liabilities. Additionally, the acquisition of Sierra Vista Bank (SVB) attributed approximately $2,973,000 of the increase in net interest income and approximately $2,310,000 was contributed from our continued organic growth. Average interest earning assets were $1,326,406,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 with a net

interest margin (fully tax equivalent basis) of 4.42% compared to $1,158,739,000 with a net interest margin (fully tax equivalent basis) of 4.08% for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The $167,667,000 increase in average earning assets was attributed to the $147,959,000 or 24.46% increase in average loans, and the $18,939,000 increase in average total investments. Average interest bearing liabilities increased 12.97% to $788,466,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2017, compared to $697,917,000 for the same period in 2016. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, the effective yield on investment securities including Federal funds sold and interest-earning deposits in other banks increased 25 basis points. The effective yield on loans increased 24 basis points.

Provision for Credit Losses

We provide for probable incurred credit losses through a charge to operating income based upon the composition of the loan portfolio, delinquency levels, historical losses, and nonperforming assets, economic and environmental conditions and other factors which, in management’s judgment, deserve recognition in estimating credit losses. Loans are charged off when they are considered uncollectible or when continuance as an active earning bank asset is not warranted.

The establishment of an adequate credit allowance is based on both an accurate risk rating system and loan portfolio management tools. The Board has established initial responsibility for the accuracy of credit risk grades with the individual credit officer. The grading is then submitted to the Chief Credit Officer (CCO), who reviews the grades for accuracy and gives final approval. The CCO is not involved in loan originations. The risk grading and reserve allocation is analyzed quarterly by the Senior Risk Manager, CCO, Chief Financial Officer, and Board; and at least annually by a third party credit reviewer and by various regulatory agencies.

Quarterly, the Senior Risk Manager and the CCO set the specific reserve for all adversely risk-graded credits. This process includes the utilization of loan delinquency reports, classified asset reports, collateral analysis and portfolio concentration reports to assist in accurately assessing credit risk and establishing appropriate reserves. Reserves are also allocated to credits that are not impaired based on inherent risk in those loans.

The allowance for credit losses is reviewed at least quarterly by the Board’s Audit/Compliance Committee and by the Board of Directors. Reserves are allocated to loan portfolio categories using percentages which are based on both historical risk elements such as delinquencies and losses and predictive risk elements such as economic, competitive and environmental factors. We have adopted the specific reserve approach to allocate reserves to each impaired credit for the purpose of estimating potential loss exposure. Although the allowance for credit losses is allocated to various portfolio categories, it is general in nature and available for the loan portfolio in its entirety. Changes in the allowance for credit losses may be required based on the results of independent loan portfolio examinations, regulatory agency examinations, or our own internal review process. Additions are also required when, in management’s judgment, the allowance does not properly reflect the portfolio’s probable loss exposure. Management believes that all adjustments, if any, to the allowance for credit losses are supported by the timely and consistent application of methodologies and processes resulting in detailed documentation of the allowance calculation and other portfolio trending analysis.

The allocation of the allowance for credit losses is set forth below (in thousands):



Loan Type	June 30, 2017		December 31, 2016
Commercial:
Commercial and industrial	$	1,864	$	1,884

Table of Contents

Loans are charged to the allowance for credit losses when the loans are deemed uncollectible. It is the policy of management to make additions to the allowance so that it remains adequate to cover all probable incurred credit losses that exist in the portfolio at that time. We assign qualitative and environmental factors (Q factors) to each loan category. Q factors include reserves held for the effects of lending policies, economic trends, and portfolio trends along with other dynamics which may cause additional stress to the portfolio.

Managing high-risk credits includes developing a business strategy with the customer to mitigate our potential losses. Management continues to monitor these credits with a view to identifying as early as possible when, and to what extent, additional provisions may be necessary. Management believes that the level of allowance for loan losses allocated to commercial and real estate loans has been adjusted accordingly.

During the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company recorded a reverse provision for credit losses of $250,000 compared to a reverse provision of $4,850,000 for the same period in 2016. The reversal from the allowance for credit losses resulted from our assessment of the overall adequacy of the allowance for credit losses considering a number of factors as discussed in the “Allowance for Credit Losses” section.

During the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company had net recoveries totaling $221,000 and $5,112,000 for the same period in 2016.

Nonperforming loans, consisting entirely of nonaccrual loans, were $3,099,000 and $2,180,000 at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, and $1,750,000 at June 30, 2016. Nonperforming loans as a percentage of total loans were 0.40% at June 30, 2017 compared to 0.29% at December 31, 2016 and 0.28% at June 30, 2016. The Company had no other real estate owned (OREO) at June 30, 2017 or December 31, 2016. The Company held $194,000 in repossessed assets at June 30, 2017 compared to $362,000 at December 31, 2016.

The annualized net charge-off (recovery) ratio, which reflects net charge-offs (recoveries) to average loans was (0.06)% for the six months ended June 30, 2017, and (1.68)% for the same period in 2016.

Notwithstanding improvements in the economy, we anticipate some weakness in economic conditions on national, state, and local levels to continue. Continued economic pressures may negatively impact the financial condition of borrowers to whom the Company has extended credit and as a result we may be required to make further significant provisions to the allowance for credit losses in the future. We continue to closely monitor the water and other related issues affecting our customers. We have been and will continue to be proactive in looking for signs of deterioration within the loan portfolio in an effort to manage credit quality and work with borrowers where possible to mitigate any further losses. As of June 30, 2017, there were $38.8 million in classified loans of which $22.0 million related to agricultural real estate, $8.8 million to commercial and industrial loans, $2.9 million to real estate owner occupied, $2.5 million in commercial real estate, $1.9 million to real estate construction, and $0.8 million to consumer equity loans and lines of credit. This compares to $49.4 million in classified loans of which $27.1 million related to agricultural real estate, $12.5 million to commercial and industrial loans, $3.8 million to real estate owner occupied, $2.7 million to commercial real estate, $1.6 million to consumer equity and lines of credit, and $1.4 million to real estate construction as of December 31, 2016.

As of June 30, 2017, we believe, based on all current and available information, the allowance for credit losses is adequate to absorb probable incurred losses within the loan portfolio. However, no assurance can be given that we may not sustain charge-offs which are in excess of the allowance in any given period. Refer to the “Allowance for Credit Losses” section for further information.

Net Interest Income after Provision for Credit Losses

Net interest income, after the provision for credit losses, was $27,344,000 for the six months period ended June 30, 2017 and $26,661,000 for the same period in 2016.

Non-Interest Income

Non-interest income is comprised of customer service charges, loan placement fees, net gains on sales and calls of investment securities, appreciation in cash surrender value of bank-owned life insurance, Federal Home Loan Bank dividends, and other income. Non-interest income was $6,342,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $5,218,000 for the same period in 2016. The $1,124,000 or 21.54% increase in non-interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was primarily driven by an increase of $1,089,000 in net realized gains on sales and calls of investment securities during the period ended June 30, 2016. A $143,000 increase in service charge income, a $106,000 increase in interchange fees, an increase in appreciation in cash surrender value of bank-owned life insurance of $20,000, and a $20,000 increase in Federal Home Loan Bank dividends was offset by a decrease in loan placement fees of $198,000 and a decrease of $192,000 in other income.

During the six months ended June 30, 2017, we realized a net gain on sales and calls of investment securities of $2,639,000 compared to $1,550,000 for the same period in 2016. The net gains realized on sales and calls of investment securities in 2017 and 2016 were the result of a partial restructuring of the investment portfolio designed to improve the future performance of the portfolio.

Table of Contents

Customer service charges increased $143,000 or 9.64% to $1,627,000 for the first six months of 2017 compared to $1,484,000 for the same period in 2016. The increase in service charges was the result of a greater volume of NSF fees and higher analysis fees. Interchange fees increased $106,000 to $697,000 the first six months of 2017 compared to $591,000 for the same period in 2016. Loan placement fees decreased $198,000 or 44.49% to $247,000 for the first six months of 2017 compared to $445,000 for the same period in 2016, primarily due to a decrease in mortgage refinances. Other income decreased $192,000 the first six months of 2017 compared to the same period in 2016. The Company realized a tax-free gain of $188,000 related to the collection of life insurance proceeds during the six months ended June 30, 2016.

The Bank holds stock from the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco in conjunction with our borrowing capacity and generally earns quarterly dividends. We currently hold $5,594,000 in FHLB stock. We received dividends totaling $224,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2017, compared to $204,000 for the same period in 2016.

Non-Interest Expenses

Salaries and employee benefits, occupancy and equipment, regulatory assessments, professional services, license and maintenance contracts, acquisition and integration expenses, Internet banking, and data processing are the major categories of non-interest expenses. Non-interest expenses increased $2,549,000 or 13.89% to $20,902,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2017, compared to $18,353,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The net increase for the first six months of 2017 was a result of increases in salaries and employee benefits of $1,180,000, professional services of $221,000, acquisition and integration expenses of $303,000, data processing expenses of $88,000, directors’ expenses of $45,000, stationary and supplies of $30,000, ATM/Debit card expenses of $27,000, regulatory assessments of $14,000, license and maintenance contracts of $139,000, other non-interest expenses of $500,000, Internet banking expenses of $14,000, and occupancy and equipment expenses of $3,000, partially offset by decreases in telephone expenses of $85,000 and regulatory assessments of $14,000.

The Company’s efficiency ratio, measured as the percentage of non-interest expenses (exclusive of amortization of core deposit intangible assets and foreclosure expenses) to net interest income before provision for credit losses (calculated on a fully tax equivalent basis) plus non-interest income (exclusive of net realized gains on sales and calls of investments, OREO related gains and losses, and gains related to the collection of life insurance proceeds) was 62.88% for the first six months of 2017 compared to 67.76% for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The improvement in the efficiency ratio for the first six months of 2017 was due to the growth in revenues outpacing the growth in non-interest expense.

Salaries and employee benefits increased $1,180,000 or 11.03% to $11,876,000 for the first six months of 2017 compared to $10,696,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2016. Full time equivalent employees were 299 at June 30, 2017, compared to 268 at June 30, 2016. The increase of salaries and employee benefits in 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016 is a result of higher levels of full time equivalent employees in the 2017 period.

Occupancy and equipment expense increased $3,000 or 0.13% to $2,390,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $2,387,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The Company made no changes in its depreciation expense methodology. The Company operated 22 full service offices at June 30, 2017 as compared to 20 at June 30, 2016. The Company chose to consolidate the Sunnyside office into the Fresno Downtown office in April 2016. The Company added three branches with the acquisition of Sierra Vista Bank in October 2016.

Data processing expense increased to $843,000 for the six month period ended June 30, 2017 compared to $755,000 for the same period in 2016 due to an increase in average tangible equity.

Regulatory assessments decreased to $321,000 for the six month period ended June 30, 2017 compared to $335,000 for the same period in 2016. The assessment base for calculating the amount owed is average assets minus average tangible equity.

Professional services increased by $221,000 in the first six months of 2017 compared to the same period in 2016 due to higher legal, audit, and consulting fees. Other categories of non-interest expenses increased $500,000 or 27.62% in the period under review. The following table shows significant components of other non-interest expense as a percentage of average assets.

Provision for Income Taxes

Our effective income tax rate was 28.05% for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to 30.05% for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The Company reported an income tax provision of $3,586,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2017, compared to $4,065,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The decrease in the Company’s effective tax rate, was due in part to the increase in tax exempt income in 2017 and the adoption of ASU 2016-09. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company adopted ASU 2016-09 “Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting” which, due to the exercise of stock options in the current period, resulted in the recognition of $104,000 in excess tax benefits. The Company maintains a reserve for uncertain income taxes where the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained upon examination do not meet a more-likely-than-not criteria.

The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of tax expense in the consolidated statements of income. As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the reserve for uncertain tax positions attributable to tax credits and deductions related to enterprise zone activities in California was $197,000 and $298,000, respectively. The Company does not expect the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits to significantly increase or decrease in the next 12 months.

Net Income for the Second Quarter of 2017 Compared to the Second Quarter of 2016:

Net income was $4,948,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 compared to $6,058,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2016. Basic earnings per share was $0.41 for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 compared to $0.55 for the same period in 2016. Diluted earnings per share was $0.40 for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 compared to $0.55 for the same period in 2016 Annualized ROE was 11.41% for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 compared to 16.24% for the quarter ended June 30, 2016. Annualized ROA for the three months ended June 30, 2017 was 1.37% compared to 1.91% for the quarter ended June 30, 2016.

The decrease in net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 compared to the same period in the prior year was primarily due to a decrease in the reversal of credit losses and an increase in non-interest expense. The decrease was partially offset by an increase in net interest income, an increase in non-interest income, and a decrease in the provision for income taxes. The Company recorded $150,000 and $4,600,000 reverse provisions for credit losses during the second quarters of 2017 and 2016. Non-interest income increased primarily due to an increase of $1,737,000 in net realized gains on sales and calls of investment securities, an increase in service charges of $94,000, an increase in interchange fees of $61,000, and an increase in appreciation in cash surrender value of bank-owned life insurance of $17,000, partially offset by a decrease in Federal Home Loan Bank dividends of $11,000 and a decrease in other income of $218,000.

We have been successful in implementing interest rate floors on many of our adjustable rate loans to partially offset the effects of the historically low prime interest rate experienced over the last two years. We are committed to providing our customers with competitive pricing without sacrificing strong asset quality and value to our shareholders.

Income from investments represents 23.89% of net interest income for the second quarter of 2017 compared to 27.69% for the same quarter in 2016.

Table of Contents

compared to $1,160,957,000 for the second quarter ended June 30, 2016. The $160,222,000 increase in average earning assets can be attributed to the $144,532,000 increase in average loans, and the $14,924,000 increase in total investments.

Interest expense on deposits for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 increased $16,000 or 6.99% to $245,000 compared to $229,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2016. The cost of deposits, calculated by dividing annualized interest expense on interest bearing deposits by total deposits, was 0.08% for the quarters ended June 30, 2017 and 2016. Average interest bearing deposits increased 11.28% or $78,953,000 comparing the second quarter of 2017 to the same period in 2016. Average interest-bearing deposits were $778,750,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2017, with an effective rate paid of 0.13%, compared to $699,797,000 for the same period in 2016, with an effective rate paid of 0.13%.

Average other borrowed funds totaled $5,387,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2017, with an effective rate of 2.75% for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 compared to $5,155,000 and 2.25% for the quarter ended June 30, 2016. As a result, interest expense on borrowed funds increased $8,000 to $37,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2017, from $29,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2016. Other borrowings are comprised of junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures and advances on available unsecured lines of credit with correspondent banks. The debentures were acquired in the merger with Service 1st and carry a floating rate based on the three month Libor plus a margin of 1.60%. The rates were 2.76% and 2.23% at June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. See the section on Financial Condition for more detail.

The cost of our interest bearing liabilities was 0.15% for the quarters ended June 30, 2017 and 2016. The cost of total deposits was 0.08% for the quarters ended June 30, 2017 and 2016.

Net Interest Income before Provision for Credit Losses

Net interest income before provision for credit losses for the quarter ended June 30, 2017, increased $2,578,000 or 23.00% to $13,786,000 compared to $11,208,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2016. The increase was due to the increase in average interest earning assets, asset mix changes, partially offset by an increase in average interest-bearing liabilities. Average interest earning assets were $1,321,179,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2017, with a net interest margin (fully tax equivalent basis) of 4.48% compared to $1,160,957,000 with a net interest margin (fully tax equivalent basis) of 4.18% for the quarter ended June 30, 2016. The $160,222,000 increase in average earning assets can be attributed to a $144,950,000 increase in loans, and the $14,924,000 increase in total investments. Average interest bearing liabilities increased 11.23% to $784,137,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $704,952,000 for the same period in 2016.

Provision for Credit Losses

The Company recorded $150,000 and $4,600,000 reverse provisions for credit losses during the second quarters of 2017 and 2016. The decision to record the provision adjustments to the allowance for credit losses in either period is primarily the result of our assessment of the overall adequacy of the allowance for credit losses considering a number of factors as discussed in the “Allowance for Credit Losses” section. The annualized net charge-off (recovery) ratio, which reflects net charge-offs (recoveries) to average loans, was (0.12)% for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 compared to (2.80)% for the quarter ended June 30, 2016. During the quarter ended June 30, 2017, the Company had recoveries totaling $233,000 compared to net recoveries of $4,336,000 for the same period in 2016. Gross recoveries of previously charged off loan balances during the quarters ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 were $260,000 and $4,441,000, respectively. Gross charge-offs during the quarters ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 were $27,000 and $105,000, respectively. The majority of the loans charged off were previously classified and sufficient specific reserves related to these impaired credits were held in the allowance for credit losses in reporting periods prior to the date of charge-off.

Non-Interest Income

Non-interest income is comprised primarily of customer service charges, loan placement fees and other service fees, net gains on sales of investments and assets, FHLB stock dividends, and other income. Non-interest income was $4,096,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 compared to $2,514,000 for the same period ended June 30, 2016. The $1,582,000 or 62.93% increase in non-interest income for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 was primarily due to a $1,737,000 increase in net realized gains on sales and calls of investment securities, a $94,000 increase in service charge income, a $61,000 increase in interchange fees and a $17,000 increase in appreciation in cash surrender value of bank-owned life insurance, partially offset by a $11,000 decrease in Federal Home Loan Bank dividends.,

Table of Contents

Customer service charges increased $94,000 or 12.79% to $829,000 for the second quarter of 2017 compared to $735,000 for the same period in 2016, due primarily to a decrease in overdraft and analysis fee income. Other income decreased $218,000 or 39.56% to $333,000 for the second quarter of 2017 compared to $551,000 for the same period in 2016. The second quarter of 2016 included a tax-free gain of $188,000 related to the collection of life insurance proceeds.

Non-Interest Expenses

Salaries and employee benefits, occupancy and equipment, regulatory assessments, data processing, acquisition and integration expenses, Internet banking, license and maintenance contracts, and professional services are the major categories of non-interest expenses. Non-interest expenses increased $1,412,000 or 15.06% to $10,789,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 compared to $9,377,000 for the same period in 2016. Consistent with the changes discussed above for the three-month periods, the net increase quarter over quarter was a result of increases in salaries and employee benefits of $579,000, increases in acquisition and integration expenses of $303,000, increases in professional fees of $137,000, increases in data processing expenses of $11,000, increases in Internet banking of $6,000, and increases in occupancy and equipment of $31,000, partially offset by decreases in regulatory assessments of $46,000 and decreases in ATM/Debit card expenses of $17,000.

The Company’s efficiency ratio, measured as the percentage of non-interest expenses (exclusive of amortization of core deposit intangible assets) to net interest income before provision for credit losses (calculated on a fully tax equivalent basis) plus non-interest income (excluding net gains from sales of securities and assets and gains on collection of insurance proceeds), decreased to 64.35% for the second quarter of 2017 compared to 67.27% for the second quarter of 2016.

Salaries and employee benefits increased $579,000 or 10.64% to $6,021,000 for the second quarter of 2017 compared to $5,442,000 for the second quarter of 2016. The increase in salaries and employee benefits for the second quarter of 2017 can be attributed to a higher incentive expenses. The number of full time equivalent employees as of June 30, 2017, December 31, 2016 and June 30, 2016 was 301, 299, and 268, respectively. The salaries and employee benefits increase can also be attributed to higher profit compensation expense related to restricted stock issues, offset by lower 401K match expense, health insurance expense, interest on deferred compensation plans, and loan origination costs recognized.

Other non-interest expenses included increases of $26,000 in appraisal expenses, $15,000 in donations, $15,000 in education/training expenses, $14,000 in armored courier expense, $8,000 in credit card processing expenses, and $4,000 in check printing expense, partially offset by a decrease of $36,000 in telephone expenses, as compared to the same period in 2016.

Provision for Income Taxes

The effective income tax rate was 31.69% for the second quarter of 2017 compared to 32.28% for the same period in 2016. Provision for income taxes totaled $2,295,000 and $2,887,000 for the quarters ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company adopted ASU 2016-09 “Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting” which, due to the exercise of stock options in the current period, resulted in the recognition of $12,000 in excess tax benefits for the three months ended June 30, 2017.

Fair Value

Table of Contents

The Company measures the fair values of its financial instruments utilizing a hierarchical framework associated with the level of observable pricing scenarios utilized in measuring financial instruments at fair value. The degree of judgment utilized in measuring the fair value of financial instruments generally correlates to the level of the observable pricing scenario. Financial instruments with readily available actively quoted prices or for which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices generally will have a higher degree of observable pricing and a lesser degree of judgment utilized in measuring fair value. Conversely, financial instruments rarely traded or not quoted will generally have little or no observable pricing and a higher degree of judgment utilized in measuring fair value. Observable pricing scenarios are impacted by a number of factors, including the type of financial instrument, whether the financial instrument is new to the market and not yet established and the characteristics specific to the transaction. See Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) for additional information about the level of pricing transparency associated with financial instruments carried at fair value.

Investments

Our investment portfolio consists primarily of U.S. Government sponsored entities and agencies collateralized by residential mortgage backed obligations and obligations of states and political subdivision securities and are classified at the date of acquisition as available for sale or held to maturity. As of June 30, 2017, investment securities with a fair value of $105,320,000, or 19.94% of our investment securities portfolio, were held as collateral for public funds, short and long-term borrowings, treasury, tax, and for other purposes. Our investment policies are established by the Board of Directors and implemented by management. They are designed primarily to provide and maintain liquidity, to enable us to meet our pledging requirements for public money and borrowing arrangements, to generate a favorable return on investments without incurring undue interest rate and credit risk, and to complement our lending activities.

The level of our investment portfolio as a percentage of our total earning assets is generally considered higher than our peers due primarily to a comparatively low loan to deposit ratio. Our loan to deposit ratio at June 30, 2017 was 61.75% compared to 60.24% at December 31, 2016. The loan to deposit ratio of our peers was 78.96% at December 31, 2016. The total investment portfolio, including Federal funds sold and interest-earning deposits in other banks, decreased 0.96% or $5,363,000 to $552,769,000 at June 30, 2017, from $558,132,000 at December 31, 2016. The fair value of the available-for-sale investment portfolio reflected a net unrealized gain of $7,222,000 at June 30, 2017, compared to a net unrealized loss of $891,000 at December 31, 2016.

The Board and management have had periodic discussions about our strategy for risk management in dealing with potential losses should interest rates begin to rise. Since June 2013, we have been managing the portfolio with an objective of minimizing the risk of rising interest rates on the fair value of the overall portfolio. We have restructured the portfolio a few times by selling off securities and investing in variable rate securities with shorter duration.

During the first quarter of 2016, management sold certain investment securities of which management identified that five of the 13 securities sold were previously designated as held-to-maturity (HTM). Through an oversight during the portfolio restructuring analysis related to this transaction, management unintentionally sold these five HTM securities. The book value of the HTM securities sold was $8.5 million. The gain realized on the sale of the HTM securities was $696,000. As such, management was required to reclassify the remaining HTM securities associated with the original transfer from available-for-sale to HTM.

Management evaluated all available-for-sale investment securities with an unrealized loss at June 30, 2017 and identified those that had an unrealized loss for at least a consecutive 12 month period, which had an unrealized loss at June 30, 2017 greater than 10% of the recorded book value on that date, or which had an unrealized loss of more than $10,000. Management also analyzed any securities that may have been downgraded by credit rating agencies.

For those bonds that were obligations of states and political subdivisions with an investment grade rating by the rating agencies, management also evaluated the financial condition of the municipality and any applicable municipal bond insurance provider and concluded during March 2016 that a $136,000 credit impairment related to one security existed. The Company recorded an other-than-temporary impairment loss of $136,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2016. There were no other-than-temporary impairment losses recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2017.

At June 30, 2017, the Company held 18 U.S. Government agency securities, of which none were in a loss position for less than 12 months and three were in a loss position and had been in a loss position for 12 months or more. The unrealized losses on the Company’s investments in direct obligations of U.S. government agencies were caused by interest rate changes. The contractual terms of those investments do not permit the issuer to settle the securities at a price less than the amortized costs of the investment. Because the decline in market value is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality, and because the Company has the ability and intent to hold, and it is more likely than not that it will not be required to sell,

those investments until a recovery of fair value, which may be the maturity date, the Company does not consider those investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at June 30, 2017.

At June 30, 2017, the Company held 131 obligations of states and political subdivision securities of which 11 were in a loss position for less than 12 months and none were in a loss position and had been in a loss position for 12 months or more. The unrealized losses on the Company’s investments in obligations of states and political subdivision securities were caused by interest rate changes. Because the decline in market value is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality, and because the Company has the ability to hold and does not intend to sell, and it is more likely than not that it will not be required to sell those investments until a recovery of fair value, which may be maturity, the Company does not consider those investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at June 30, 2017.

At June 30, 2017, the Company had a total of 21 PLMBS with a remaining principal balance of $38,728,000 and a net unrealized gain of approximately $586,000. Ten of these PLMBS with a remaining principal balance of $1,460,000 had credit ratings below investment grade. Seven of the PLMBS securities were in a loss position for less than 12 months at June 30, 2017. Because the decline in market value is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality, and because the Company has the ability and intent to hold, and it is more likely than not that it will not be required to sell those investments until a recovery of fair value, which may be the maturity date, the Company does not consider those investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at June 30, 2017. The Company continues to monitor these securities for indications that declines in value, if any, may be other-than-temporary.

At June 30, 2017, the Company had one mutual fund equity investment which had an unrealized loss at June 30, 2017. See Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) included in this report for carrying values and estimated fair values of our investment securities portfolio.

Loans

Total gross loans increased $12,360,000 or 1.63% to $768,988,000 as of June 30, 2017, compared to $756,628,000 as of December 31, 2016. The table below includes loans acquired at fair value in the SVB and VCB acquisitions with outstanding balances of $150,822,000 and $168,296,000 as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

As of June 30, 2017, in management’s judgment, a concentration of loans existed in commercial loans and loans collateralized by real estate, representing approximately 96.5% of total loans, of which 14.6% were commercial and 81.9% were real-estate-related. This level of concentration of commercial loans and loans collateralized by real estate is consistent with 96.5% of total loans at December 31, 2016. Although management believes the loans within this concentration have no more than the normal risk of collectibility, a substantial decline in the performance of the economy in general or a decline in real estate values in our primary market areas, in particular, could have an adverse impact on collectibility, increase the level of real estate-related non-performing loans, or have other adverse effects which alone or in the aggregate could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. The Company was not involved in any sub-prime mortgage lending activities during the six or twelve months ended June 30, 2017 or December 31, 2016, respectively.

At June 30, 2017, loans acquired in the SVB and VCB acquisitions had a balance of $150,822,000, of which $5,077,000 were commercial loans, $119,293,000 were real estate loans, and $26,452,000 were consumer loans. At December 31, 2016, loans acquired in the SVB and VCB acquisitions had a balance of $168,296,000, of which $7,239,000 were commercial loans, $129,520,000 were real estate loans, and $31,537,000 were consumer loans.

We believe that our commercial real estate loan underwriting policies and practices result in prudent extensions of credit, but recognize that our lending activities result in relatively high reported commercial real estate lending levels. Commercial real estate loans include certain loans which represent low to moderate risk and certain loans with higher risks.

The Board of Directors review and approve concentration limits and exceptions to limitations of concentration are reported to the Board of Directors at least quarterly.

Nonperforming Assets

Nonperforming assets consist of nonperforming loans, other real estate owned (OREO), and repossessed assets. Nonperforming loans are those loans which have (i) been placed on nonaccrual status; (ii) been classified as doubtful under our asset classification system; or (iii) become contractually past due 90 days or more with respect to principal or interest and have not been restructured or otherwise placed on nonaccrual status. A loan is classified as nonaccrual when (i) it is maintained on a cash basis because of deterioration in the financial condition of the borrower; (ii) payment in full of principal or interest under the original contractual terms is not expected; or (iii) principal or interest has been in default for a period of 90 days or more unless the loan is both well secured and in the process of collection.

At June 30, 2017, total nonperforming assets totaled $3,293,000, or 0.23% of total assets, compared to $2,542,000, or 0.18% of total assets at December 31, 2016. Total nonperforming assets at June 30, 2017, included nonaccrual loans totaling $3,099,000, no OREO, and $194,000 in other repossessed assets. Nonperforming assets at December 31, 2016 consisted of

Table of Contents

$2,180,000 in nonaccrual loans, no OREO, and $362,000 in other repossessed assets. At June 30, 2017, we had one loan considered to be troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) which is included in nonaccrual loans compared to one TDR totaling $20,000 at December 31, 2016.

A summary of nonperforming loans at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 is set forth below. The Company had no loans past due more than 90 days and still accruing interest at June 30, 2017 or December 31, 2016. Management can give no assurance that nonaccrual and other nonperforming loans will not increase in the future.

We measure our impaired loans by using the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent and the present value of the expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s original contractual interest rate if the loan is not collateral dependent. As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we had impaired loans totaling $5,882,000 and $5,269,000, respectively. For collateral dependent loans secured by real estate, we obtain external appraisals which are updated at least annually to determine the fair value of the collateral, and we record an immediate charge off for the difference between the book value of the loan and the appraised value less selling costs value of the collateral. We perform quarterly internal reviews on substandard loans. We place loans on nonaccrual status and classify them as impaired when it becomes probable that we will not receive interest and principal under the original contractual terms, or when loans are delinquent 90 days or more unless the loan is both well secured and in the process of collection. Management maintains certain loans that have been brought current by the borrower (less than 30 days delinquent) on nonaccrual status until such time as management has determined that the loans are likely to remain current in future periods.

OREO represents real property taken either through foreclosure or through a deed in lieu thereof from the borrower. OREO is initially recorded at fair value less costs to sell and thereafter carried at the lower of cost or fair value, less selling costs. We had no OREO properties at June 30, 2017 or December 31, 2016. The Company held $194,000 in repossessed assets at June 30, 2017 compared to $362,000 at December 31, 2016.

Allowance for Credit Losses

We have established a methodology for determining the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses made up of general and specific allocations. The methodology is set forth in a formal policy and takes into consideration the need for an overall allowance for credit losses as well as specific allowances that are tied to individual loans. The allowance for credit losses is an estimate of probable incurred credit losses in the Company’s loan portfolio. The allowance consists of two primary components, specific reserves related to impaired loans and general reserves for probable incurred losses related to loans that are not impaired.

For all portfolio segments, the determination of the general reserve for loans that are not impaired is based on estimates made by management, including but not limited to, consideration of historical losses by portfolio segment (and in certain cases peer loss data) over the most recent 20 quarters, and qualitative factors including economic trends in the Company’s service areas, industry experience and trends, geographic concentrations, estimated collateral values, the Company’s underwriting policies, the character of the loan portfolio, and probable losses incurred in the portfolio taken as a whole. Management has determined that the most recent 20 quarters was an appropriate look back period based on several factors including the current global economic uncertainty and various national and local economic indicators, and a time period sufficient to capture enough data due to the size of the portfolio to produce statistically accurate historical loss calculations. We believe this period is an appropriate look back period.

In originating loans, we recognize that losses will be experienced and that the risk of loss will vary with, among other things, the type of loan being made, the creditworthiness of the borrower over the term of the loan, general economic conditions and, in the case of a secured loan, the quality of the collateral securing the loan. The allowance is increased by provisions charged against earnings and recoveries, and reduced by net loan charge offs. Loans are charged off when they are deemed to be uncollectible, or partially charged off when portions of a loan are deemed to be uncollectible. Recoveries are generally recorded only when cash payments are received.

The allowance for credit losses is maintained to cover probable incurred credit losses in the loan portfolio. The responsibility for the review of our assets and the determination of the adequacy lies with management and our Audit Committee. They delegate the authority to the Senior Risk Manager and the Chief Credit Officer (CCO) to determine the loss reserve ratio for each type of asset and to review, at least quarterly, the adequacy of the allowance based on an evaluation of the portfolio, past experience, prevailing market conditions, amount of government guarantees, concentration in loan types and other relevant factors.

The allowance for credit losses is an estimate of the probable incurred credit losses in our loan and lease portfolio. The allowance is based on principles of accounting: (1) losses accrued for on loans when they are probable of occurring and can be reasonably estimated and (2) losses accrued based on the differences between the value of collateral, present value of future cash flows or values that are observable in the secondary market and the loan balance.

Table of Contents

Management adheres to an internal asset review system and loss allowance methodology designed to provide for timely recognition of problem assets and adequate valuation allowances to cover probable incurred losses. The Bank’s asset monitoring process includes the use of asset classifications to segregate the assets, largely loans and real estate, into various risk categories. The Bank uses the various asset classifications as a means of measuring risk and determining the adequacy of valuation allowances by using a nine-grade system to classify assets. In general, all credit facilities exceeding 90 days of delinquency require classification and are placed on nonaccrual.

The following table sets forth information regarding our allowance for credit losses at the dates and for the periods indicated:



	For the Six Months Ended June 30,			For the Year Ended December 31,			For the Six Months Ended June 30,

Balance, end of period	$	9,297		$	9,326		$	9,872
Allowance for credit losses to total loans at end of period	1.21		%	1.23		%	1.56		%

Managing credits identified through the risk evaluation methodology includes developing a business strategy with the customer to mitigate our losses. Our management continues to monitor these credits with a view to identifying as early as possible when, and to what extent, additional provisions may be necessary.

The allowance for credit losses is reviewed at least quarterly by the Bank’s and our Board of Directors’ Audit/Compliance Committee. Reserves are allocated to loan portfolio segments using percentages which are based on both historical risk elements such as delinquencies and losses and predictive risk elements such as economic, competitive and environmental factors. We have adopted the specific reserve approach to allocate reserves to each impaired asset for the purpose of estimating potential loss exposure. Although the allowance for credit losses is allocated to various portfolio categories, it is general in nature and available for the loan portfolio in its entirety. Additions may be required based on the results of independent loan portfolio examinations, regulatory agency examinations, or our own internal review process. Additions are also required when, in management’s judgment, the reserve does not properly reflect the potential loss exposure.

As of June 30, 2017, the balance in the allowance for credit losses (ALLL) was $9,297,000 compared to $9,326,000 as of December 31, 2016. The decrease was due to recording a reverse provision for credit losses, partially offset by net recoveries during the six months ended June 30, 2017. The balance of undisbursed commitments to extend credit on construction and other loans and letters of credit was $311,416,000 as of June 30, 2017, compared to $259,415,000 as of December 31, 2016. At June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the balance of a contingent allocation for probable loan loss experience on unfunded obligations was $225,000 and $125,000, respectively. The contingent allocation for probable loan loss experience on unfunded obligations is calculated by management using appropriate, systematic, and consistently applied processes. While related to credit losses, this allocation is not a part of the ALLL and is considered separately as a liability for accounting and regulatory reporting purposes. Risks and uncertainties exist in all lending transactions and our management and Directors’ Loan Committee have established reserve levels based on economic uncertainties and other risks that exist as of each reporting period.

As of June 30, 2017, the ALLL was 1.21% of total gross loans compared to 1.23% as of December 31, 2016. Total loans include SVB and VCB loans that were recorded at fair value in connection with the acquisitions, which stood at $150,822,000 at June 30, 2017 and $168,296,000 at December 31, 2016. Excluding these SVB and VCB loans from the calculation, the ALLL to total gross loans was 1.50% and 1.59% at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively and general reserves associated with non-impaired loans to total non-impaired loans was 1.50% and 1.55%, respectively. The loan portfolio acquired in the mergers were booked at fair value with no associated allocation in the ALLL. The size of the fair value discount remains adequate for all non-impaired acquired loans; therefore, there is no associated allocation in the ALLL for those loans.

The Company’s loan portfolio balances for the six months ended June 30, 2017 increased through organic growth. Management believes that the change in the allowance for credit losses to total loans ratio is directionally consistent with the composition of loans and the level of nonperforming and classified loans, partially offset by the general economic conditions experienced in the central California communities serviced by the Company and recent improvements in real estate collateral values.

Assumptions regarding the collateral value of various under-performing loans may affect the level and allocation of the allowance for credit losses in future periods. The allowance may also be affected by trends in the amount of charge offs experienced or expected trends within different loan portfolios. However, the total reserve rates on non-impaired loans include

Table of Contents

qualitative factors which are systematically derived and consistently applied to reflect conservatively estimated losses from loss contingencies at the date of the financial statements. Based on the above considerations and given recent changes in historical charge-off rates included in the ALLL modeling and the changes in other factors, management determined that the ALLL was appropriate as of June 30, 2017.

Management believes the allowance at June 30, 2017 is adequate based upon its ongoing analysis of the loan portfolio, historical loss trends and other factors. However, no assurance can be given that the Company may not sustain charge-offs which are in excess of the allowance in any given period.

The following table illustrates and sets forth additional analysis which portrays the trends that are occurring in the loan portfolio.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Business combinations involving the Company’s acquisition of the equity interests or net assets of another enterprise give rise to goodwill. Total goodwill at June 30, 2017, was $40,311,000 consisting of $14,643,000, $10,394,000, $8,934,000 and $6,340,000 representing the excess of the cost of Service 1st, Sierra Vista Bank, Bank of Madera County, and Visalia Community Bank, respectively, over the net of the amounts assigned to assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transactions accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. The value of goodwill is ultimately derived from the Company’s ability to generate net earnings after the acquisitions and is not deductible for tax purposes. The fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed are subject to adjustment during the first twelve months after the acquisition date if additional information becomes available to indicate a more accurate or appropriate value for an asset or liability. A significant decline in net earnings could be indicative of a decline in the fair value of goodwill and result in impairment. For that reason, goodwill is assessed at least annually for impairment.

Management performed an annual impairment test in the third quarter of 2016 utilizing various qualitative factors. Management believes these factors are sufficient and comprehensive and as such, no further factors need to be assessed at this time. Based on management’s analysis performed, no impairment was required. Goodwill is also tested for impairment between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the Company below its carrying amount. No such events or circumstances arose during the first six months of 2017.

The intangible assets represent the estimated fair value of the core deposit relationships acquired in the 2016 acquisition of Sierra Vista Bank of $508,000, and the 2013 acquisition of Visalia Community Bank of $1,365,000. Core deposit intangibles are being amortized using the straight-line method (which approximates the effective interest method) over estimated lives of ten years from the date of acquisition. The carrying value of intangible assets at June 30, 2017 was $1,289,000, net of $584,000 in accumulated amortization expense. The carrying value at December 31, 2016 was $1,383,000, net of $490,000 accumulated amortization expense. We evaluate the remaining useful lives quarterly to determine whether events or circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining periods of amortization. Based on the evaluation, no changes to the remaining useful lives was required in the first six months of 2017. Amortization expense recognized was $94,000 and $68,000 for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2016, respectively.

The following table summarizes the Company’s estimated remaining core deposit intangible amortization expense for each of the next five years (in thousands):

Deposits and Borrowings

The Bank’s deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to applicable legal limits. All of a depositor’s accounts at an insured depository institution, including all non-interest bearing transactions accounts, are insured by the FDIC up to standard maximum deposit insurance amount of $250,000 for each deposit insurance ownership category.

Other Borrowings

There were no short term or long term FHLB borrowings as of June 30, 2017 or December 31, 2016. We maintain a line of credit with the FHLB collateralized by government securities and loans. Refer to the Liquidity section below for further discussion of FHLB advances.

The Company holds junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures (trust preferred securities). Under applicable regulatory guidance, the amount of trust preferred securities that is eligible as Tier 1 capital is limited to 25% of the Company’s Tier 1 capital on a pro forma basis. At June 30, 2017, all of the trust preferred securities that have been issued qualify as Tier 1 capital. Interest on the trust preferred securities is payable and the rate is adjusted to equal the three month LIBOR plus 1.60% each January 7, April 7, July 7 or October 7 of each year. The rates were 2.76% and 2.23% at June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Interest expense recognized by the Company for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 was $69,000 and $58,000 respectively.

Capital

Capital serves as a source of funds and helps protect depositors and shareholders against potential losses. Historically, the primary source of capital for the Company has been internally generated capital through retained earnings.

The Company has historically maintained substantial levels of capital. The assessment of capital adequacy is dependent on several factors including asset quality, earnings trends, liquidity and economic conditions. Maintenance of adequate capital levels is integral to providing stability to the Company. The Company needs to maintain substantial levels of regulatory capital to give it maximum flexibility in the changing regulatory environment and to respond to changes in the market and economic conditions.

Our shareholders’ equity was $177,167,000 at June 30, 2017, compared to $164,033,000 at December 31, 2016. The increase from December 31, 2016 in shareholders’ equity is the result of an increase in retained earnings from net income of $9,198,000, an increase in accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) of $4,701,000, the exercise of stock options including the related tax benefit of $466,000, and the effect of share based compensation expense of $233,000, offset by common stock cash dividends of $1,464,000.

During the first six months of 2017, the Company declared and paid $1,464,000 in cash dividends ($0.12 per common share) to holders of common stock. The Company declared and paid a total of $2,715,000 in cash dividends ($0.24 per common share) to holders of common stock during the year ended December 31, 2016. During the first six months of 2017, the Bank declared and paid cash dividends to the Company of $1,200,000. The Company will not declare any dividend that,

subsequent to payment would cause the Bank to be deemed not “well capitalized” under applicable banking laws and regulations.

Management considers capital requirements as part of its strategic planning process. The strategic plan calls for continuing increases in assets and liabilities, and the capital required may therefore be in excess of retained earnings. The ability to obtain capital is dependent upon the capital markets as well as our performance. Management regularly evaluates sources of capital and the timing required to meet its strategic objectives. The assessment of capital adequacy is dependent on several factors including asset quality, earnings trends, liquidity and economic conditions. Maintenance of adequate capital levels is integral to providing stability to the Company. The Company needs to maintain substantial levels of regulatory capital to give it maximum flexibility in the changing regulatory environment and to respond to changes in the market and economic conditions including acquisition opportunities.

The Board of Governors, the FDIC and other federal banking agencies have issued risk-based capital adequacy guidelines intended to provide a measure of capital adequacy that reflects the degree of risk associated with a banking organization’s operations for both transactions reported on the balance sheet as assets, and transactions, such as letters of credit and recourse arrangements, which are reported as off-balance-sheet items. Under these guidelines, nominal dollar amounts of assets and credit equivalent amounts of off-balance-sheet items are multiplied by one of several risk adjustment percentages, which range from 0% for assets with low credit risk, such as certain U.S. government securities, to 100% for assets with relatively higher credit risk, such as business loans.

A banking organization’s risk-based capital ratios are obtained by dividing its qualifying capital by its total risk-adjusted assets and off-balance-sheet items. The regulators measure risk-adjusted assets and off-balance-sheet items against both total qualifying capital (the sum of Tier 1 capital and limited amounts of Tier 2 capital) and Tier 1 capital. Tier 1 capital consists of common stock, retained earnings, noncumulative perpetual preferred stock and minority interests in certain subsidiaries, less most other intangible assets. Tier 2 capital may consist of a limited amount of the allowance for possible loan and lease losses and certain other instruments with some characteristics of equity. The inclusion of elements of Tier 2 capital is subject to certain other requirements and limitations of the federal banking agencies.

As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company and the Bank met or exceeded all of their capital requirements inclusive of the capital buffer. The capital conservation buffer of 2.5% of risk weighted assets over each of the required capital ratios will be phased in from 2016 to 2019 and must be met to avoid limitations on the ability of the Company and the Bank to pay dividends, repurchase shares or pay discretionary bonuses. As of June 30, 2017, the capital conservation buffer for the Company was 6.83% compared to5.72% at December 31, 2016. As of June 30, 2017, the capital conservation buffer for the Bank was 6.69% compared to 5.57% at December 31, 2016

A bank that does not achieve and maintain the required capital levels may be issued a capital directive by the FDIC to ensure the maintenance of required capital levels. As discussed above, the Company and the Bank are required to maintain certain levels of capital.

The Company succeeded to all of the rights and obligations of the Service 1st Capital Trust I, a Delaware business trust, in connection with the acquisition of Service 1st as of November 12, 2008. The Trust was formed on August 17, 2006 for the sole purpose of issuing trust preferred securities fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Service 1st. Under applicable regulatory guidance, the amount of trust preferred securities that is eligible as Tier 1 capital is limited to 25% of the Company’s Tier 1 capital on a pro forma basis. At June 30, 2017, all of the trust preferred securities that have been issued qualify as Tier 1 capital. The trust preferred securities mature on October 7, 2036, are redeemable at the Company’s option beginning five years after issuance, and require quarterly distributions by the Trust to the holder of the trust preferred securities at a variable interest rate which will adjust quarterly to equal the three month LIBOR plus 1.60%.

The Trust used the proceeds from the sale of the trust preferred securities to purchase approximately $5,155,000 in aggregate principal amount of Service 1st’s junior subordinated notes (the Notes). The Notes bear interest at the same variable interest rate during the same quarterly periods as the trust preferred securities. The Notes are redeemable by the Company on any January 7, April 7, July 7, or October 7 on or after October 7, 2012 or at any time within 90 days following the occurrence of certain events, such as: (i) a change in the regulatory capital treatment of the Notes (ii) in the event the Trust is deemed an investment company or (iii) upon the occurrence of certain adverse tax events. In each such case, the Company may redeem the Notes for their aggregate principal amount, plus any accrued but unpaid interest.

The Notes may be declared immediately due and payable at the election of the trustee or holders of 25% of the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes in the event that the Company defaults in the payment of any interest following the nonpayment of any such interest for 20 or more consecutive quarterly periods. Holders of the trust preferred securities are entitled to a cumulative cash distribution on the liquidation amount of $1,000 per security. For each January 7, April 7, July 7 or October 7 of each year, the rate will be adjusted to equal the three month LIBOR plus 1.60%. As of June 30, 2017, the rate was 2.76%.

Liquidity

Liquidity management involves our ability to meet cash flow requirements arising from fluctuations in deposit levels and demands of daily operations, which include funding of securities purchases, providing for customers’ credit needs and ongoing repayment of borrowings. Our liquidity is actively managed on a daily basis and reviewed periodically by our management and Director’s Asset/Liability Committees. This process is intended to ensure the maintenance of sufficient funds to meet our needs, including adequate cash flow for off-balance sheet commitments.

Our primary sources of liquidity are derived from financing activities which include the acceptance of customer and, to a lesser extent, broker deposits, Federal funds facilities with correspondent banks, and advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco. These funding sources are augmented by payments of principal and interest on loans, the routine maturities and pay downs of securities from the securities portfolio, the stability of our core deposits and the ability to sell investment securities. As of June 30, 2017, the Company had unpledged securities totaling $422,807,000 available as a secondary source of liquidity and total cash and cash equivalents of $54,585,000. Cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2017 increased 41.53% compared to $38,568,000 at December 31, 2016. Primary uses of funds include withdrawal of and interest payments on deposits, originations and purchases of loans, purchases of investment securities, and payment of operating expenses. Due to the negative impact of the slow economic recovery, we have been cautiously managing our asset quality. Consequently, expanding our portfolio or finding appropriate adequate investments to utilize some of our excess liquidity has been difficult in the current economic environment.

As a means of augmenting our liquidity, we have established federal funds lines with our correspondent banks. At June 30, 2017, our available borrowing capacity includes approximately $40,000,000 in unsecured credit lines with our correspondent banks, $217,970,000 in unused FHLB advances and a $8,266,000 secured credit line at the Federal Reserve Bank. We believe our liquidity sources to be stable and adequate. At June 30, 2017, we were not aware of any information that was reasonably likely to have a material effect on our liquidity position.

The following table reflects the Company’s credit lines, balances outstanding, and pledged collateral at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016:

The liquidity of the parent company, Central Valley Community Bancorp, is primarily dependent on the payment of cash dividends by its subsidiary, Central Valley Community Bank, subject to limitations imposed by the regulations.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ITEMS

In the ordinary course of business, the Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance risk. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. Such financial instruments are recorded in the financial statements when they are funded or related fees are incurred or received. For an expanded discussion of these financial instruments, refer to Note 9 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included herein and Note 13 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s 2016 Annual Report to Shareholders on Form 10-K.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Our results of operations are highly dependent upon our ability to manage interest rate risk. We consider interest rate risk to be a significant market risk that could have a material effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Interest rate risk is measured and assessed on a quarterly basis. In our opinion, there has not been a material change in our interest rate risk exposure since the information disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

As of the end of the period covered by this report, management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures with respect to the information generated for use in this Quarterly Report. The evaluation was based in part upon reports provided by a number of executives. Based upon, and as of the date of the evaluation of the disclosure controls and procedures, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurances that information required to be disclosed in the reports the Company files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits is accumulated and communicated to management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There was no change in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2017 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.

In designing and evaluating disclosure controls and procedures, the Company’s management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurances of achieving the desired control objectives and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

ITEM 1A RISK FACTORS

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. Except as set forth below there are no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in our 2016 Annual report on Form 10-K. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and below are not the only risks facing our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.

Risks Related to the Announced Merger with Folsom

Failure to consummate the Merger, or a delay in consummating the Merger, could negatively impact the market price of the Company common stock and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

On April 27, 2017, the Company and Folsom entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (the “Merger Agreement”) providing for the merger of Folsom with and into Central Valley Community Bank (the “Bank”), with the Bank as the surviving entity (the “Merger”).

Consummation of the Merger is subject to various customary conditions. On July 12, 2017, the Company issued a press release announcing that the Company and the Bank, have received regulatory approvals from both the FDIC and the California Department of Business Oversight for the merger of the Bank and Folsom. The transaction is subject to the approval of the shareholders of Folsom. Folsom will hold its special shareholder meeting on August 10, 2017. The transaction is

Table of Contents

expected to be completed on October 1, 2017 pending shareholder approval and the satisfaction of other customary closing conditions.

We have incurred substantial expenses in connection with the negotiation and preparations for completion of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. If the Merger is not completed, we will have incurred these expenses without realizing the expected benefits of the Merger. If the Merger is not consummated for any reason, our ongoing business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially adversely affected and the market price of the Company common stock may decline significantly, particularly to the extent that the current market price reflects a market assumption that the Merger will be consummated. If the consummation of the Merger is delayed, including by the receipt of a competing acquisition proposal or by reason of litigation, our business, financial condition and results of operations may also be materially adversely affected.

In addition, our business may have been impacted adversely by the failure to pursue other beneficial opportunities due to the focus of management on the Merger, without realizing any of the anticipated benefits of completing the Merger.

We may fail to realize the cost savings we have estimated for the Merger or integrate the business operations and managements of our two companies in an efficient manner.

The success of the Merger will depend, in part, on our ability to realize anticipated cost savings and to combine the businesses of the Company and Folsom in a manner that permits growth opportunities to be realized and does not materially disrupt the existing customer relationships of the Company or Folsom, nor result in decreased revenues due to any loss of customers.

The Company and Folsom have operated and, until the completion of the Merger, will continue to operate independently. To realize these anticipated benefits, the businesses of the Company and Folsom must be successfully combined. While management has taken existing leases and other contractual obligations into consideration in developing its estimate of cost savings, changes in transaction volumes, operating systems and procedures and other factors may cause the actual cost savings to be different from these estimates. In addition, difficulties encountered in integrating our information systems could prevent us from realizing some of the estimated cost savings. Such difficulties could also jeopardize customer relationships and cause a loss of deposits or loan customers and the revenue associated with those customers. It is possible that the integration process could result in the loss of key employees, as well as the disruption of each company’s ongoing businesses or inconsistencies in standards, controls, procedures and policies, any or all of which could adversely affect our ability to maintain relationships with customers and employees after the Merger or to achieve the anticipated benefits of the Merger. Integration efforts between the two companies will also divert management attention and resources. A failure to successfully navigate the complicated integration process could have an adverse effect on the combined companies. If the combined company is not able to achieve these cost-savings objectives, the anticipated benefits of the Merger may not be realized fully or at all or may take longer to realize than expected.

We are subject to various uncertainties and contractual restrictions while the Merger is pending that could disrupt the conduct of our business and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Uncertainty about the effect of the Merger on employees, customers, suppliers, and vendors may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. These uncertainties may impair our ability or the ability of Folsom to attract, retain and motivate key personnel, depositors and borrowers pending the consummation of the Merger, as such personnel, depositors and borrowers may experience uncertainty about their future roles following the consummation of the Merger. Additionally, these uncertainties could cause customers (including depositors and borrowers), suppliers, vendors and others who deal with us to seek to change existing business relationships with us or fail to extend an existing relationship with us. In addition, competitors may target our existing customers by highlighting potential uncertainties and integration difficulties that may result from the Merger.

In addition, the Merger Agreement restricts us from taking certain actions without Folsom’s consent while the Merger is pending. These restrictions may, among other matters, prevent us from pursuing certain transactions or making other changes to our business prior to consummation of the Merger or termination of the Merger Agreement. These restrictions could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The pursuit of the Merger and the preparation for the integration may place a burden on management and internal resources. Any significant diversion of management attention away from ongoing business concerns and any difficulties encountered in the transition and integration process could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Table of Contents

The consideration to be paid in the Merger is fixed and will not be adjusted for changes in the business, assets, liabilities, prospects, outlook, financial condition or results of operations of the Company or Folsom, or in the event of any change in our stock price or Folsom’s stock price.

The Merger Agreement provides that the number of shares of the Company common stock that we will issue to holders of Folsom common stock (the “merger consideration”), is fixed and will not be adjusted for changes in our business, assets, liabilities, prospects, outlook, financial condition or results of operations, or changes in the market price of, analyst estimates of, or projections relating to Folsom. For example, if Folsom experienced a change in its business, assets, liabilities, prospects, outlook, financial condition or results of operations prior to the consummation of the Merger, there would be no adjustment to the amount of the merger consideration.

The market price of our common stock after the Merger may be affected by factors different from those affecting our shares currently.

The results of operations of the combined company and the market price of our common stock after the completion of the Merger may be affected by factors different from those currently affecting the independent results of our operations and the market price of our common stock.

The costs relating to the Merger could reduce our future earnings per share.

We estimate that we have incurred or will incur significant transaction costs associated with the Merger, a portion of which will be incurred whether or not the Merger closes. We believe the combined company may incur charges to operations, which are not currently reasonably estimable, in the quarter in which the Merger is completed or subsequent quarters, to reflect costs associated with integrating the Company and Folsom. There is no assurance that the combined company will not incur additional material charges in subsequent quarters to reflect additional costs associated with the Merger, including charges associated with the impairment of goodwill booked in connection with the Merger.

The failure of the Company’s or Folsom’s Loan Portfolios to Perform as Expected May Unfavorably Impact Us.

Our performance and prospects after the Merger will be dependent to a significant extent on the performance of the combined loan portfolios of the Company and Folsom, and ultimately on the financial condition of their respective borrowers and other customers. The existing loan portfolios of the two banks differ to some extent in the types of borrowers, industries and credits represented. In addition, there are differences in the documentation, classifications, underwriting and management of the portfolios. As a result, our overall loan portfolio after the Merger will have a different risk profile than the loan portfolio of either the Company or Folsom before the Merger. The performance of the two loan portfolios will be adversely affected if any of such factors are worse than currently anticipated. In addition, to the extent that present customers are not retained by the Company or Folsom, or additional expenses are incurred in retaining them, there could be adverse effects on our future consolidated results of operations following the Merger. The anticipated benefits of the Merger are dependent, in part, on the extent to which the revenues of Folsom are maintained and enhanced.

Goodwill resulting from the Merger may adversely affect our results of operations. Goodwill and other intangible assets are expected to increase substantially as a result of the Merger. Potential impairment of goodwill and amortization of other intangible assets could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. We assess our goodwill and other intangible assets and long-lived assets for impairment annually and more frequently when required by U.S. GAAP. We are required to record an impairment charge if circumstances indicate that the asset carrying values exceed their fair values. Our assessment of goodwill, other intangible assets, or long-lived assets could indicate that an impairment of the carrying value of such assets may have occurred that could result in a material, non-cash write-down of such assets, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and future earnings.
