To Our Shareholders and Customers:
Your Board and Management are delighted to report that the Bank had an outstanding
2006. Our net income was $1,619,024 ($1.12 per share), compared to $1,118,997
($0.78 per share) in 2005—a 45% increase. Just as important, our pre-tax income was
$1,426,000. Year-end assets were up $17.5 million, or 18.1%, to $114.0 million from
$96.6 million. Our gross loans were up $13.4 million, or 17.5%, to $89.8 million from
$76.4 million. Deposits increased $7.5 million, or 9.0%, to $91.2 million. In September
the Bank was able to take $192,000 into income by recognizing a portion of the Bank’s
tax deferred asset. This income recognition was based on the Bank’s return to operating
profitability in 2006. This also is the year the Bank exhausts its ability to increase
income through the deferred tax asset as the income in 2007 is fully taxable.
In October, the Bank introduced a new product called “Digital Deposit” which allows
businesses to send their check deposit to the Bank via an electronic scanner, thereby
eliminating having to come into the Bank to make a check deposit. We expect “Digital
Deposit” to be an important addition to our service offerings.
The Bank has also received Preferred Lenders Program status from the Small Business
Administration. This important and prestigious designation means the Bank can
approve and close SBA loans without the concurrence of the SBA, which we anticipate
will tremendously improve our lending capabilities. The Bank now has a full in-house
array of loan products, including accounts receivable financing (factoring).
The Bank has clearly demonstrated that it is a successful community bank that can
compete effectively in this market and generate consistently healthy earnings. We have
met and surpassed our prior challenges and are focused on providing excellent service
while growing the Bank. We continue to work aggressively and diligently to increase
our core deposit balances to help maintain the Bank’s excellent net interest margins.
Our mission is simple: to be the premier community bank in Ventura County.
We thank our shareholders and customers for their steadfast support. We appreciate
the opportunity to provide banking services on a personal basis. We also want to
express thanks to our employees for their invaluable contributions to the Bank’s
success. We look forward to seeing you at the next Annual Shareholders meeting.
