NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1. Nature of Business

Community Bancorp is a bank holding company headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada with five wholly-owned subsidiaries: 1) Community Bank of Nevada, 2) Community Bank of Arizona, 3) Community Bancorp (NV) Statutory Trust I, 4) Community Bancorp (NV) Statutory Trust II and 5) Community Bancorp (NV) Statutory Trust III. Community Bancorp exists primarily for the purpose of holding the stock of its wholly-owned subsidiaries and facilitating their activities. Community Bancorp and its consolidated subsidiaries discussed below are collectively referred to herein as the “Company.”

Community Bank of Nevada is a Nevada state chartered bank providing a full range of commercial and consumer bank products through thirteen branches located in the greater Las Vegas area and two loan production offices in southern California and Arizona.

Community Bank of Arizona (formerly Cactus Commerce Bank), is an Arizona state chartered bank providing a full range of commercial and consumer bank products through two branches and one administrative office located in the greater Phoenix, Arizona area. Community Bank of Arizona was acquired in September 2006.

The three statutory trusts were formed for the exclusive purpose of issuing and selling trust preferred securities (see Note 2 and Note 8).

Community Bancorp’s principal source of income is currently dividends from its two bank subsidiaries, Community Bank of Nevada and Community Bank of Arizona. The expenses of Community Bancorp, including interest from junior subordinated debt, legal, accounting and NASDAQ listing fees, have been and will generally be paid from dividends paid to Community Bancorp by its bank subsidiaries.

Note 2. Basis of Presentation

The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Community Bancorp, Community Bank of Nevada and Community Bank of Arizona. Significant intercompany items and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The statutory trusts are not consolidated, as disclosed in Note 8.

The interim consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for unaudited financial statements. The information furnished in these interim statements reflects all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair statement of results for the periods presented. All adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. Results for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the year as a whole. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted. The unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes included in the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.

A consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity is not included as part of these interim financial statements since there have been no material changes, other than net income, during the six months ended June 30, 2007.

Certain amounts in the 2006 consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2007 presentation, with no effect on previously reported net income or stockholders’ equity.

Note 3. Significant Accounting Policies

Accounting policies are fully described in Note 1 of the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 and there have been no material changes during the six months ended June 30, 2007.

Note 4. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments, an Amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140. SFAS No. 155 also resolves issues addressed in Statement 133 Implementation Issue No. D1, Recognition and Measurement of Derivatives: Application of Statement 133 to Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets. SFAS No. 155 eliminates the exemption from applying SFAS No. 133 to interests in securitized financial assets so that similar instruments are accounted for similarly, regardless of the form of the instruments. SFAS No. 155 also allows a preparer to elect fair value measurement at acquisition, at issuance, or when a previously recognized financial instrument is subject to a remeasurement, or new basis, event, on an instrument-by-instrument basis, in the case in which a derivative would otherwise have to be bifurcated. SFAS No. 155 is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. The Company adopted SFAS No. 155 effective January 1, 2007. The adoption of SFAS No. 155 had no material effect on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet or Consolidated Statement of Income and Comprehensive Income.

In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets—an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 140. SFAS No.156 requires an entity to recognize a servicing asset or liability each time it undertakes an obligation to service a financial asset by entering into a servicing contract if a) a transfer of the servicer’s assets meets the requirements for sale accounting; b) a transfer of the servicer’s financial assets to a qualifying special-purpose entity in a guaranteed mortgage securitization in which the transferor retains all of the resulting securities; and c) an acquisition or assumption of an obligation to service a financial asset does not relate to financial assets of the servicer or its consolidated affiliates. Further, SFAS No. 156 requires all separately recognized servicing assets and liabilities to be initially measured at fair value, if practicable. The Company adopted SFAS No. 156 effective January 1, 2007. The adoption of SFAS No. 156 did not have a material effect on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet or Consolidated Statement of Income and Comprehensive Income.

In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, or FIN 48, to clarify the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. FIN 48 defines the threshold for recognizing the benefits of tax return positions in the financial statements as “more likely than not” to be sustained by the taxing authority. The literature also provides guidance on de-recognition, measurement and classification of income tax uncertainties, along with any related interest and penalties. FIN 48 also includes guidance concerning accounting for income tax uncertainties in interim periods and increases the level of disclosures associated with any recorded income tax uncertainties. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Any differences between the amounts recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheets prior to the adoption of FIN 48 will be accounted for as a cumulative effect adjustment recorded to the beginning balance of retained earnings. In addition, in May 2007, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position ("FSP") FIN 48-1, Definition of "Settlement" in FASB Interpretation No. 48. This FSP provides guidance on how a company should determine whether a tax position is effectively settled for the purpose of recognizing previously unrecognized tax benefits. The FASB clarifies that a tax position could be effectively settled upon examination by a taxing authority. The Company adopted FIN 48 effective January 1, 2007. As of the date of adoption, there was no historical tax position taken that would result in a reasonably possible change in the next twelve months from previously reported amounts and accordingly, there was no material impact with the adoption of FIN 48 on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet or Consolidated Statement of Income and Comprehensive Income. Further, the Company’s policy is to record interest and penalties from underpayment of taxes when it is reasonably probable that the amounts will be incurred. The Company is subject to federal, state, and local income tax examinations for years beginning in 2003 and thereafter. There are no federal or state income tax examinations in process.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, which addresses how companies should measure fair value when they are required to use a fair value measure for recognition or disclosure purposes under GAAP. SFAS No. 157 provides a common definition of fair value to be used throughout GAAP. The FASB believes that the new standard will make the measurement of fair value more consistent and comparable and improve disclosures about those measures. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company does not believe the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will have a material impact on its Consolidated Balance Sheets and Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income.

In September 2006, the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) reached a consensus on EITF Issue No. 06-4 (“EITF 06-4”), Accounting for Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefit Aspects of Endorsement Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements, which requires the application of the provisions of SFAS No. 106, Employers’ Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions, to endorsement split-dollar life insurance arrangements. EITF 06-4 would require the Company to accrue a

liability for the postretirement death benefits associated with split-dollar life insurance agreements. An endorsement-type arrangement generally exists when a company owns and controls all incidents of ownership of the underlying policies. In March 2007, the EITF reached a consensus on EITF issue No. 06-10 (“EITF 06-10”), Accounting for Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefit Aspects of Collateral Assignment Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangement, which requires the applicant to measure and recognize an asset and a liability for the postretirement benefit related to a collateral assignment split-dollar life insurance arrangement in accordance with either SFAS No. 106 (if, in substance, a postretirement benefit plan exists) or Accounting Principals Board’s Opinion No. 12 (if the arrangement is, in substance, an individual deferred compensation contract). EITF 06-4 and EITF 06-10 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007. The Company maintains endorsement split-dollar life arrangements (bank owned life insurance) for certain key officers and executives; however none of the Company’s policies are subject to the provisions of these new pronouncements.

In September 2006, the FASB ratified the consensus reached by the EITF on Issue 06-5, Accounting for Purchases of Life Insurance-Determining the Amount That Could Be Realized in Accordance with FASB Technical Bulletin No. 85-4, Accounting for Purchases of Life Insurance (“EITF 06-5”). The effective date of EITF 06-5 is for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The EITF concluded that a policyholder should consider any additional amounts included in the contractual terms of the policy in determining the amount that could be realized under the insurance contract. Amounts that are recoverable by the policyholder at the discretion of the insurance company should be excluded from the amount that could be realized. The Company adopted EITF 06-5 effective January 1, 2007. The adoption of EITF 06-5 had no material effect on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet or Consolidated Statement of Income and Comprehensive Income.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities-Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115. SFAS No. 159 permits an entity to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. Most of the provisions of SFAS No. 159 are elective; however, the amendment of SFAS No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, applies to all entities with available for sale or trading securities. For financial instruments elected to be accounted for at fair value, an entity will report the unrealized gains and losses in earnings. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently assessing the financial impact SFAS No. 159 will have on its Consolidated Balance Sheets and Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income.

Note 5. Acquisition Activity

During 2006, the Company completed the following two acquisitions using the purchase method of accounting and accordingly, the operating results of the acquired entities have been included in the consolidated financial statements from their respective dates of acquisition. The following table summarizes these transactions as of the date of acquisition.

As of June 30, 2007, estimated goodwill resulting from these transactions had been reduced by approximately $739,000 from December 31, 2006 due primarily to deferred tax and income taxes receivable adjustments from the Valley Bancorp acquisition.

Community Bank of Arizona (formerly Cactus Commerce Bank)

On September 30, 2006, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding common stock of Community Bank of Arizona, headquartered in Glendale, Arizona. Under the terms of the Agreement, Community Bank of Arizona’s shareholders received $256.59 in cash for each share of common stock for a total purchase price of approximately $13.6 million. At the date of acquisition, Cactus Commerce Bank became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and was subsequently renamed Community Bank of Arizona in February 2007. The acquisition was consistent with the strategic goals of the Company to expand beyond the southern Nevada geographic region.

Valley Bancorp

On October 13, 2006, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding common stock of Valley Bancorp, headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada. Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company paid approximately $42.7 million in cash and issued approximately 3.0 million shares for a total purchase price of $138.8 million. Immediately after the acquisition, Valley Bank was merged into Community Bank of Nevada. The acquisition was consistent with the strategic goals of the Company to expand its presence in the southern Nevada geographic region with the anticipation of providing the combined company with financial benefits that include reduced operating expenses.

(4)	Includes loans for property zoned for single family homes, which amounted to $235.6 million and $189.3 million as of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.

Changes in the allowance for loan losses for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 are as follow:


	For the three months ended June 30,					For the six months ended June 30,
	2007			2006		2007			2006

At June 30, 2007, total impaired and non-accrual loans were $3.6 million and $1.3 million, respectively, and there were no loans past due 90 days or more still accruing interest. At December 31, 2006, total impaired and non-accrual loans were $6.1 million and $647,000, respectively, and there were no loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest.

Note 7. Borrowings

The Company regularly uses Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco (“FHLB”) for short term and long term borrowings. FHLB term debt, which matures from July 2007 through March 2009, amounted to $109.8 million at June 30, 2007. Interest on these borrowings accrued at an average rate of 5.15% for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2007. Remaining available debt financing through the FHLB amounted to $319.0 million at June 30, 2007.

The Company also has agreements with other lending institutions under which it can purchase up to $91.5 million of federal funds. The interest rate charged on borrowings is determined by the lending institutions at the time of borrowings. Each line is unsecured. The Company had no federal funds purchased as of June 30, 2007 and $3.4 million as of December 31, 2006.

The Company has a promissory note agreement with a correspondent bank for a $10.0 million revolving line of credit. The line is unsecured. The initial interest rate is 6.30%, subject to adjustment based on the 30-day LIBOR, and expires on December 19, 2007. A fee based on the unused portion of the line of credit will be paid quarterly in arrears, at an annual rate of 1/8% and calculated based on the average unused portion of the line of credit for the previous quarter. As of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, there were no outstanding borrowings under this agreement.

Note 8. Junior Subordinated Debt

As of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the Company had approximately $87.6 million, consisting of three separate issuances of trust preferred securities (collectively, the “Securities”), outstanding classified as junior subordinated debt. Community Bancorp (NV) Statutory Trust III is composed of fixed and variable issuances. Of the total issuances, two bear interest at a fixed rate of 5.94% ($20.6 million) and 6.78% ($26.5 million) for the first seven and five years, respectively, and convert to the three-month LIBOR rate plus 1.37% and 1.60%, respectively, through maturity. The remaining two issuances bear interest at the three-month LIBOR rate plus 3.40% ($15.5 million) and 1.60% ($25.0 million), respectively. The three month LIBOR rate at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 was 5.36%.

The Company has the option to defer payment of the distributions for a period of up to five years, as long as the Company is not in default on the payment of interest on the junior subordinated debt. If the Company elects to defer payments of interest on the Securities by extending the interest distribution period, then the Company may not declare or pay any dividends or distributions on, or redeem, purchase, acquire, or make a liquidation payment with respect to any of the Company’s common stock, until such time as all deferred interest is paid.

In the event of certain changes or amendments to regulatory requirements or federal tax rules, the debt is redeemable in whole. Certain obligations under these instruments are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Company and rank subordinate and junior in right of payment to all other liabilities of the Company.

In March 2005, the Federal Reserve Bank adopted a final rule that allows the continued inclusion of trust preferred securities in the Tier I capital of bank holding companies, subject to stricter quantitative limits and qualitative standards. Under the final ruling, qualifying mandatory preferred securities may be included in Tier I capital, subject to a limit of 25% of all core capital. Amounts of restricted core capital elements in excess of this limit generally may be included in Tier II capital. The qualitative limits become effective on March 31, 2009. As of June 30, 2007, the junior subordinated debentures have been included in Tier I capital for regulatory capital purposes up to the specified limit ($77.1 million), and the remainder is in Tier II capital ($7.9 million).

In accordance with FIN 46 (revised December 2004), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities-an interpretation of ARB No. 51, statutory trusts are not reported on a consolidated basis. Therefore, the trust preferred debt securities of $85.0 million do not appear on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Instead, the junior subordinated debentures of $87.6 million payable by Community Bancorp to the statutory trusts and the investment in the statutory trusts common stock of $2.6 million (included in other assets) are reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Note 9. Share-Based Compensation

Stock options

As of June 30, 2007, the Company has outstanding options under two share-based compensation plans. The related compensation cost was approximately $220,000 and $642,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and $417,000 and $717,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The compensation cost related to the share-based compensation plans was included in salaries, wages and employee benefits expense for grants to employees and directors fees for grants to board members in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. No share-based compensation was capitalized. No stock options were granted during the six months ended June 30, 2007. For the six months ended June 30, 2006, 304,000 stock options were granted at a weighted average exercise price of $30.59.

Additional disclosures regarding share-based compensation are not presented since there have been no material changes (e.g., options granted) during the six months ended June 30, 2007.

Stock appreciation rights

In July 2000, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the 2000 Stock Appreciation Rights Plan. The Company accounts for the Stock Appreciation Rights (“SAR”) using liability accounting which requires the Company to record the liability of the SAR at fair value, rather than intrinsic value. The total accrued liability, included in accrued interest payable and other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet, was approximately $429,000 at December 31, 2006. All outstanding SAR were settled, with cash payments made in April 2007 and, accordingly, there was no accrued liability for SAR at June 30, 2007. SAR expense, included in salaries, wages and employee benefits expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income, for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 was $0 and $25,000, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 was $32,000 and $42,000, respectively.

Note 10. Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) represent income available to common stockholders divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS reflects additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued. Potential common shares that may be issued by the Company relate solely to outstanding options, and are determined using the treasury stock method.

EPS has been computed based on the following:


	For the Three Months Ended June 30,											For the Six Months Ended June 30,
	2007					2006						2007					2006
	(In thousands, except earnings per share)											(In thousands, except earnings per share)
	Net Income		Average Number of Shares	Per Share Amounts		Net Income		Average Number of Shares	Per Share Amounts			Net Income		Average Number of Shares	Per Share Amounts		Net Income		Average Number of Shares	Per Share Amounts
Basic EPS	$	5,643	10,420	$	0.54	$	3,763	7,385	$	0.51		$	11,092	10,418	$	1.06	$	7,188	7,384	$	0.97
Effect of dilutive securities:
Stock options		—	68		—		—	92		(0.01	)		—	72		—		—	98		(0.01	)

Diluted EPS	$	5,643	10,488	$	0.54	$	3,763	7,477	$	0.50		$	11,092	10,490	$	1.06	$	7,188	7,482	$	0.96

Options not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because they would have had an anti-dilutive effect amounted to 441,000 shares and 180,000 shares at June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Note 11. Commitments and Contingencies

Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk

The Company is party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business in order to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. They involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of amounts recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Company’s exposure to credit loss for these commitments, in the event of nonperformance, is represented by the contractual amounts of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments.

A summary of the contract amount of the Company’s exposure to off-balance sheet risk as of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 is as follows:

Outstanding commitments


	June 30, 2007		December 31, 2006
	(In thousands)
Commitments to extend credit, including unsecured commitments of approximately $28,450 for 2007 and $26,925 for 2006	$	354,824	$	351,236
Credit card commitments, including unsecured amounts of approximately $504 for 2007 and $2,047 for 2006		504		2,064
Standby letters of credit, including unsecured commitments of approximately $1,363 for 2007 and $480 for 2006		5,078		5,673

	$	360,406	$	358,973

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there are no violations of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained is based on management’s credit evaluation of the party. Collateral held varies, but may include accounts receivable; inventory; property and equipment; residential real estate; income-producing commercial properties; and owner-occupied commercial properties. The Company had approximately $800,000 reflected in other liabilities for off-balance sheet risk associated with commitments to extend credit at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006.

Standby letters of credit 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 public and private borrowing arrangements. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. Collateral held varies as specified above and is required as the Company deems necessary. Essentially all letters of credit issued have expiration dates within one year. Upon entering into letters of credit, the Company records the related liability at fair value pursuant to FASB Interpretation No. 45 (“FIN 45”). Thereafter, the liability is evaluated pursuant to FASB Statement No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies. As of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the amount of the liability related to guarantees was approximately $13,000 and $14,000, respectively.

In connection with standby letters of credit, the Company recognizes the related commitment fee received from the third party as a liability at the inception of the guarantee arrangement pursuant to FIN 45. Where the likelihood of exercise of the commitment is remote, the commitments are generally recognized as service fee income on a straight line basis over the commitment period. All other commitment fees in connection with standby letters of credit are deferred over the entire commitment period and are not recognized as service fee income until the expiration of the commitment period.

Financial Instruments with Concentrations of Credit Risk

The Company makes commercial, commercial real estate, residential real estate and consumer loans to customers primarily in southern Nevada and Arizona. At June 30, 2007, real estate loans accounted for approximately 88.0% of the total loans. Substantially all of these loans are secured by first liens with an initial loan-to-value ratio of generally not more than 75%. At June 30, 2007 approximately 2.3% of gross loans were unsecured.

A substantial portion of the Company’s customers’ ability to honor their contracts is dependent on the economies in Southern Nevada and Arizona. The Company’s goal is to maintain a diversified loan portfolio that is well collateralized and supported by the underlying cash flows of the properties and/or business activities.

Lease Commitments

The Company leases certain branches and office facilities under operating leases. The Company has lease obligations for nine of its branch locations, two loan production offices, and its corporate offices under various non-cancelable agreements with expiration dates through March 2018, which require various minimum annual rentals. One additional branch is under construction, with lease terms that expire in five years from commencement (e.g., completion of tenant improvements). It is anticipated this branch will open during the third quarter of 2007.

Contingencies

In the normal course of business, the Company is involved in various legal proceedings. In the opinion of management, any liability resulting from such proceedings would not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial statements.

Note 12. Derivative Financial Instruments

During 2006, the Company originated two fixed rate loans with an aggregate principal balance of approximately $20.0 million. The Company also entered into two interest rate swap agreements with notional values equal to the principal balance of the two fixed rate loans. The interest rate swap agreements are LIBOR-based where the Company’s interest payments are based on a fixed interest rate and the Company’s receipt of interest payments are based on a variable interest rate. The Company retains any net swap settlement income and pays any net swap settlement expense. As the Company has not elected hedge accounting the net swap settlement income has been recorded in noninterest income.

Each of the loan agreements contain contractual provisions that pass through to the borrower any gain or loss resulting from the termination of the swap agreements. The interest rate swap agreements are recorded at fair value as required by SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, and amended by SFAS No. 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments. However, the accounting for the liability due to or receivable due from the borrower resulting from the termination of the swap is governed by SFAS No. 5. This pronouncement requires the recognition of a liability when amounts are due to the borrower but precludes the recording of a receivable when amounts are due from the borrower. The fair values of the swap agreements are reflected in other assets or other liabilities, as applicable, and amounts, if any, owed to the borrower are recorded in other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Fair values for the swap agreements are based upon quoted market prices where available, except in the case of certain options and swaps where pricing models are used.

Note 13. Segments

Prior to the acquisition of Community Bank of Arizona in September 2006, the Company operated as one segment. The Company currently manages its business with a primary focus on each bank subsidiary (Community Bank of Nevada and Community Bank of Arizona). Accordingly, the Company has two reportable segments. Community Bancorp’s financial information is included in the “Other” category, as it represents overhead and funding costs.

While the Company continued to experience organic growth during 2006 and through the first half of 2007, two acquisitions during 2006 (September and October) resulted in substantial changes to its earning assets and funding liabilities.

Primarily as a result of our organic growth and 2006 acquisitions:

•

Net income for the second quarter of 2007 increased 50.0% to $5.6 million, or $0.54 per diluted share, compared to $3.8 million, or $0.50 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2006. Net income for the first half of 2007 increased to $11.1 million, or $1.06 per diluted share, from $7.2 million, or $0.96 per diluted share in the first half of 2006.

•

Net interest income before provision for loan losses for the second quarter of 2007 was up 44.0% to $17.8 million compared to $12.4 million in the second quarter of 2006 and increased 49.5% to $35.3 million for the first half of 2007 compared to $23.6 million for the first half of 2006.

•

Non-interest income for the second quarter of 2007 increased 69.6% to $1.0 million compared to $592,000 in the same quarter of 2006. Non-interest income for the first half of 2007 increased to $1.9 million compared to $1.1 million in the first half of 2006.

The following are significant factors in understanding the Company’s financial condition and results of operations:

•

Gross loans increased to $1.37 billion, or 9.0%, at June 30, 2007 compared to $1.25 billion at December 31, 2006, primarily in real estate—construction and land development loans.

•

Total deposits increased to $1.23 billion, or 4.3%, at June 30, 2007 compared to $1.18 billion at December 31, 2006.

•

Non-performing loans totaled $1.3 million, or 0.10% of total loans, at June 30, 2007 compared to $647,000, or 0.05% of total loans, and $1.7 million, or 0.21% of total loans, at December 31, 2006 and June 30, 2006, respectively.

•

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, the Company’s net interest margin decreased to 4.93% and 4.98%, respectively, compared to 5.42% and 5.48%, respectively, in the same periods in 2006. The decrease in net interest margin was primarily attributable to continued upward pricing pressures for deposits and other funding liabilities over the first half of 2007 in a stable prime rate environment.

KEY FACTORS IN EVALUATING FINANCIAL CONDITION AND OPERATING PERFORMANCE

Return on average shareholders’ equity. For the second quarter and first half of 2007, the Company’s return on average shareholders’ equity (“ROAE”) was 9.9% compared to 13.4% and 13.1%, respectively, for the same periods in 2006. The decrease in ROAE was primarily due to the issuance of approximately 3.0 million shares of Community Bancorp common stock, or $94.7 million, in October 2006 as part of the acquisition of Valley Bancorp. The acquisition of Valley Bancorp combined with the acquisition of Community Bank of Arizona, which was a cash transaction, resulted in approximately $96.2 million and $4.4 million of average goodwill and core deposit intangibles (assets that produce no measurable income) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively.

Diluted earnings per share grew to $0.54 and $1.06, respectively, compared to $0.50 and $0.96 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively. The moderate growth in the Company’s diluted earnings per share reflects the issuance of approximately 3.0 million shares in the fourth quarter 2006 as part of the acquisition of Valley Bancorp.

Return on average assets. Return on average assets (“ROAA”) decreased to 1.4% for the second quarter and first half of 2007 compared to 1.5% for the same periods in 2006. The decrease in ROAA was due to the $100.6 million increase in average goodwill and core deposit intangibles resulting from the Company’s 2006 acquisitions. These assets produce no measurable income, but significantly increased the Company’s average assets in the second quarter and first half of 2007 compared to the same periods in 2006.

Asset growth. Total assets increased by 5.9% to $1.7 billion as of June 30, 2007, from $1.6 billion as of December 31, 2006. The increase in total assets was driven primarily by a $113.2 million increase in gross loans off set in part by reductions in cash and cash equivalents and securities available for sale of $9.8 million and $14.3 million, respectively, from December 31, 2006 to June 30, 2007. Asset growth during the first half of 2007 was funded primarily through increases in deposits of $50.3 million and Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings of $32.1 million.

Asset quality. Non-performing loans totaled $1.3 million as of June 30, 2007, compared to $647,000 and $1.7 million at December 31, 2006 and June 30, 2006, respectively. Non-performing loans as a percentage of total loans was 0.10% of total loans at June 30, 2007, compared to 0.05% and 0.21% as of December 31, 2006 and June 30, 2006, respectively.

Operating efficiency. The Company’s efficiency ratio increased to 51.2% and 51.3% for the second quarter and first half of 2007 compared to 51.1% and 49.7% for the same periods in 2006. The increases in the efficiency ratio, during a period of increased operational costs due to branch expansion in Nevada and Arizona, was anticipated as the Company has not yet fully realized all cost efficiencies anticipated from the 2006 acquisitions.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Company’s accounting policies are integral to understanding the financial results reported. The most complex accounting policies require management’s judgment to ascertain the valuation of assets, liabilities, commitments and contingencies. The Company has established policies and procedures that are intended to ensure that the valuation methods are well-controlled and applied consistently from period to period. In addition, the policies and procedures are intended to ensure that the process for changing methodologies occurs in an appropriate manner. The following is a brief description of our current accounting policies involving significant management valuation judgments.

Allowance for loan losses. The allowance for loan losses represents the Company’s best estimate of the probable losses inherent in the existing loan portfolio. The allowance for loan losses is increased by the provision for loan losses charged to expense and reduced when loans charged-off exceed loan recoveries. The allowance for loan losses is evaluated quarterly. The quarterly

evaluation includes management’s assessment of various factors affecting the collectibility of loans, including current economic conditions, past credit experience, delinquency status, the value of the underlying collateral, if any, and a continuing review of the portfolio of loans. In addition to assessing these various factors, management considers a number of quantitative and qualitative factors, including levels and trends of past due and non-accrual loans, asset classifications, loan grades, changes in the volume of loans, collateral value, historical loss experiences, peer group loss experiences, size and complexity of individual credits and economic conditions. The provision for loan losses contains a general and specific component. The general component is based on a portfolio segmentation based on risk grading, with a further evaluation of the various quantitative and qualitative factors noted above. The specific component is for impaired loans, where the expected or anticipated loss is measurable (e.g., impairment).

To assist in the analysis of collateral risk (e.g., type of collateral securing each loan), management reviews: 1) financial data provided by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) of banks within the Company’s peer group; 2) an internal five-year loss history; and 3) financial data of local banks (within the Company’s peer group) to determine the nature and scope of their losses to date.

Available-for-sale securities. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, requires that available-for-sale securities be carried at fair value. The Company believes this to be a “critical accounting estimate” in that the fair value of a security is based on quoted market prices or, if quoted market prices are not available, fair values are extrapolated from the quoted prices of similar instruments.

Goodwill and other intangibles. Net assets of entities acquired in purchase transactions are recorded at fair value at the date of acquisition. Identified intangibles are amortized on a straight-line basis over the period benefited. Goodwill is not amortized, although it is reviewed for impairment on an annual basis or if events or circumstances indicate a potential impairment. The impairment test is performed in two phases. The first step of the goodwill impairment test compares the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is considered not impaired; however, if the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an additional procedure must be performed. That additional procedure compares the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill (as defined in SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets) with the carrying amount of that goodwill. An impairment loss is recorded to the extent that the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value.

Other intangible assets subject to amortization are evaluated for impairment in accordance with SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. An impairment loss will be recognized if the carrying amount of the intangible asset is not recoverable and exceeds fair value. The carrying amount of the intangible is considered “not recoverable” if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset.

Share-based compensation. Effective January 1, 2006 (the “adoption date”), the Company adopted the provisions of the FASB issued Statement No. 123 (revised 2004) (“SFAS No. 123R”), Share-Based Payment, and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (“SAB 107”), requiring the measurement and recognition of all share-based compensation under the fair value method. Prior to the Company’s initial public offering (“IPO”), it used the minimum value method to calculate the fair value of stock options. Subsequent to the IPO, the Black-Scholes option pricing model has been used to calculate the fair value of stock options. The Company adopted SFAS No. 123R using the prospective method for options granted prior to the IPO and the modified prospective method for options granted subsequent to the IPO. Under the Company’s transition method, SFAS No. 123R applies to new awards and to awards that were outstanding on the adoption date that are subsequently modified, repurchased or cancelled. In addition, the expense recognition provision of SFAS No. 123R applies to options granted prior to the adoption date but subsequent to the IPO that were unvested at the adoption date. In determining the fair value of stock options, the Company employs the following assumptions:

•

Expected volatility – based on the historical volatility of similar entities’ stock price that have been public for a period of time at least equal to the expected life of the option.

•

Expected term of the option – based on the simple average of the vesting term and the original contract term.

•

Risk-free rate – based upon the rate on a zero coupon U.S. Treasury bill, for periods within the expected term of the option.

•

Dividend yield – the Company currently has a no dividend policy and accordingly, no dividend yield is utilized.

Segment reporting. With the acquisition of Community Bank of Arizona in September 2006, the Company expanded to the greater Phoenix, Arizona market. During the quarter ended December 31, 2006, certain changes were implemented in the management and reporting of the Company’s business units, resulting in two reportable operating segments: Community Bank of Nevada and Community Bank of Arizona.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

As previously noted, the Company recorded net income of $5.6 million for the second quarter of 2007 compared to $3.8 million for the second quarter of 2006 and $11.1 million for the first half of 2007 compared to $7.2 million for the first half of 2006. The Company earns income from two primary sources: net interest income, which is the difference between interest income generated from interest earning assets and interest expense created by interest bearing liabilities; and non-interest income, of which a majority is fees and charges earned from customer services. Income from these sources is offset by the provision for loan losses, non-interest expense and income taxes.

While the Company continued to experience positive organic growth, the increase in net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 compared to June 30, 2006 was due primarily to the acquisition of two banks during 2006 (September and October 2006). Diluted earnings per share grew at a more moderate pace to $0.54 per share for the second quarter of 2007 compared to $0.50 per share for the second quarter of 2006 and $1.06 per share for the first half of 2007 compared to $0.96 for the first half of 2006. The Company’s diluted earnings per share reflects the issuance of approximately 3.0 million shares in the fourth quarter of 2006 as part of the acquisition of Valley Bancorp.

Net interest income is derived from interest and dividends received on interest earning assets, less interest expense incurred on interest bearing liabilities. The most significant impact on the Company’s net interest income between periods is derived from the interaction of changes in volumes and rates. The volume of loans, investment securities and other interest earning assets, compared to the volume of interest bearing deposits and indebtedness, combined with the rate relationships, produces changes in the net interest income between periods.

While the Company continued to grow its loan portfolio and deposit base, interest income, interest expense and the resulting net interest income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 increased substantially from the same periods in 2006 due primarily to the acquisition of Community Bank of Arizona (September 2006) and Valley Bancorp (October 2006). These acquisitions resulted in the addition of $367.6 million of gross loans (at acquisition) and a corresponding increase in deposits of $376.0 million (at acquisition).

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, interest and dividend income increased to $32.4 million and $63.3 million, respectively, compared to $19.2 million and $35.9 million for the same periods in 2006. The primary driver of these increases was the increase in average loans outstanding due to both organic and merger related loan growth. Also impacting interest income was loan yields for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 which increased to 9.38% and 9.34%, respectively, compared to 9.14% and 8.97%, respectively, for the same periods in 2006. The increase in the loan yields in 2007 as compared to 2006 was due primarily to upward repricing of the Company’s rate sensitive loans.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, interest expense increased to $14.6 million and $28.0 million, respectively, compared to the $6.9 million and $12.3 million for the same periods in 2006. The primary cause of these increases was the increase in average interest-bearing liabilities due to both organic and merger related growth. Impacting the increase in average interest bearing liabilities (in addition to the mergers noted above) was the issuance of $51.5 million in trust preferred debt in the third quarter of 2006. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, the average cost of interest bearing liabilities increased to 4.87% and 4.75%, respectively, compared to 3.99% and 3.82%, respectively, reflecting continued competitive pricing pressures on deposits, changes in market rates and usage of other instruments (e.g., trust preferred debt, wholesale deposits and other borrowings) to fund the Company’s growth.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, the Company’s net interest margin decreased to 4.93% and 4.98%, respectively, compared to 5.42% and 5.48%, respectively, in the same period in 2006. The decrease in net interest margin was primarily attributable to continued upward pricing pressures for deposits and other funding liabilities over the first half of 2007 in a stable prime rate environment.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, net interest income before provision for loan losses increased 44.0% and 49.5%, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2006, as interest earned on higher loan volumes and increased yields outweighed the effect of increased funding liabilities and higher cost of funds. Impacting net interest income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 was the addition of $367.6 million in gross loans (at acquisition) and a corresponding increase in deposits of $376.0 million (at acquisition) from the Community Bank of Arizona and Valley Bancorp mergers in the last half of 2006 and the Company’s issuance of $51.5 million in trust preferred debt in the third quarter of 2006.

Provision for Loan Losses

The Company has established an allowance for loan losses through charges to earnings that are reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income as “provision for loan losses.” Specifically, the provision for loan losses represents the amount charged against current period earnings to achieve an allowance for loan losses that, in management’s judgment, is adequate to address the risks in the Company’s loan portfolio. To quantify these risks, the Company performs a quarterly assessment of the risks inherent in its loan portfolio, as well as a detailed review of each significant loan with identified weaknesses.

Based on this quarterly analysis a provision for loan losses of $486,000 was recorded for the second quarter of 2007 compared to $625,000 for the second quarter of 2006 and $968,000 for the first half of 2007 and compared to $1.6 million for the first half of 2006. The allowance for loan losses was $16.0 million, or 1.17% of total loans, as of June 30, 2007 compared to $15.0 million, or 1.19% of total loans, at December 31, 2006. While management believes that the allowance for loan losses was adequate at June 30, 2007, future additions to the allowance will be subject to continuing evaluation of estimated, known and inherent risks in the loan portfolio.

Non-Interest Income

Total non-interest income	$	1,004	$	592	$	412	$	1,871	$	1,135	$	736

Non-interest income increased 69.6%, or $412,000, to $1.0 million for the second quarter of 2007 compared to $592,000 for the second quarter of 2006 and increased 64.8%, or $736,000, to $1.9 million for the first half of 2007 compared to $1.1 million for the first half of 2006. While the Company continued to experience organic growth throughout 2006 and the first half of 2007, the increase in non-interest income was due primarily to the acquisition of Community Bank of Arizona (September 2006) and Valley Bancorp (October 2006) (e.g., acquisition of additional customer accounts from which customer service fees are earned) and the increase in gain on sale of loans that included a gain of approximately $163,000 related to the sale of the Company’s credit card portfolio during the second quarter of 2007.

As a result of the acquisitions of Community Bank of Arizona and Valley Bancorp, the Company increased its branch network by six and added approximately eighty full time equivalent employees. In addition to this expansion through acquisitions, the Company added two new branches, closed one branch and added one administrative office during the first half of 2007. This expansion of facilities and human resources was the primary driver to the Company’s increased non-interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 as compared to the same periods in 2006.

For the three months and six months ended June 30, 2007, directors’ fees decreased by $534,000 and $509,000 as compared to the same periods in 2006 primarily due to the cost of issuing non-qualified stock options to directors, with immediate vesting, during the second quarter of 2006. In accordance with SFAS No. 123R the Company recognized an expense for the fair value of the options on the grant date since the options vested immediately. No such options were granted during the first half of 2007.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense is the sum of two components, current tax expense and deferred tax expense. Current tax expense is the result of applying the current tax rate to taxable income. Deferred tax expense reflects the income on which taxes are paid versus financial statement pre-tax income, as some items of income and expense are recognized differently for income tax purposes than for the financial statements.

For the second quarter of 2007 and 2006, the provisions for income taxes were $3.1 million and $1.9 million, representing effective tax rates of 35.1% and 34.0%, respectively, and $6.0 million for the first half of 2007 and $3.7 million for the first half of 2006, representing effective tax rates of 35.2% and 33.8%, respectively. The primary reason for the difference from the federal statutory tax rate of 35% are the inclusion of state taxes and reductions related to tax-advantaged investments in municipal obligations and bank owned life insurance.

Deferred income tax assets or liabilities reflect the estimated future tax effects attributable to differences as to when certain items of income or expense are reported in the financial statements versus when they are reported in the tax return. The Company’s deferred tax asset was $55,000 as of June 30, 2007. As of December 31, 2006, the Company reported a deferred tax asset of $875,000. The change in deferred taxes was primarily attributable to purchase adjustments of goodwill and taxes receivable associated with the Valley Bancorp acquisition.

As of June 30, 2007, investment securities totaled $94.8 million, or 5.7% of total assets, compared to $109.2 million, or 7.0% of total assets, as of December 31, 2006. The decrease in the investment portfolio was due primarily to normal maturities. The proceeds from these maturities were used in part to fund the Company’s loan growth and reduce funding liabilities.

Available-for-sale securities totaled $93.5 million as of June 31, 2007, as compared to $107.8 million at December 31, 2006. Available-for-sale securities as a percentage of total assets decreased to 5.6% as of June 30, 2007 compared to 6.9% at December 31, 2006. Securities held to maturity decreased to $1.2 million at June 30, 2007 from $1.3 million at December 31, 2006. For the first half of 2007, the tax equivalent yield on the average investment portfolio was 5.35%, representing an increase of 63 basis points compared to 4.72% for the same period in 2006.

Total net loans	$	1,344,896	$	1,234,841

(1)	Owner-occupied commercial real estate loans were approximately 53.0% and 48.1% of the Company’s commercial real estate loan portfolio as of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.

(2)	Primarily loans for custom homes to high net worth customers and home equity lines of credit. This segment does not contain conventional residential mortgages.

(3)	Includes loans for undeveloped land of approximately $206.0 million and $223.1 million as June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.

(4)	Includes loans for property zoned for single family homes, which amounted to $235.6 million and $189.3 million as of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.

The Company’s loan portfolio represents the largest single portion of earning assets. The quality and diversification of the Company’s loans are important considerations when reviewing the Company’s results of operations. The Company’s lending activities consist of commercial and industrial, commercial real estate, residential real estate, construction and land development and consumer and other. For the first half of 2007, the largest increase in the loan portfolio was real estate – construction and land development, which increased 16.2%, indicating a continued demand for this product in the Company’s primary markets.

Commercial and industrial loans decreased to $158.0 million, or 11.0%, at June 30, 2007 from $177.6 million at December 31, 2006. The decrease is consistent with historical changes in this portion of the loan portfolio and is the result of normal changes in our customers’ business activities.

As of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, gross loans represented 82.2% and 79.8%, respectively of total assets.

Non-performing Assets

Non-performing assets include nonaccrual loans, loans past due 90 days or more still accruing interest, loans renegotiated in troubled debt restructurings and other real estate owned (“OREO”). The following table sets forth information regarding non-performing assets as of the dates indicated:

Impaired Loans

Impaired loans are loans for which it is probable that we will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original contractual terms of the loan agreement. The category of “impaired loans” is not coextensive with the category of “nonaccrual loans,” although the two categories overlap. All loans on nonaccrual, regardless of size, are considered impaired.

Due primarily to loan growth with an offset in part by net recoveries, the allowance for loan losses increased to $16.0 million as of June 30, 2007 compared to $15.0 million at December 31, 2006. The Company recorded a provision of $486,000 for second quarter of 2007 compared to $625,000 for the second quarter of 2006 and $968,000 for the first half of 2007 and $1.6 million for the first half of 2006. The allowance for loan losses decreased to 1.17% of gross loans at June 30, 2007 compared to 1.19% at December 31, 2006.

Management believes the level of allowance as of June 30, 2007 is adequate to absorb the estimated losses from any known or inherent risks in the loan portfolio and the loan growth during the period. However, no assurance can be given that economic conditions which adversely affect our service areas or other circumstances may not require increased provisions for loan losses in the future.

Management is committed to maintaining the allowance for loan losses at a level that is considered commensurate with estimated and known risks in the portfolio. Although the adequacy of the allowance is reviewed quarterly, management performs an ongoing assessment of the risks inherent in the portfolio. Real estate is the principal collateral for the Company’s loans.

Deposits

Total deposits increased by $50.3 million, or 4.3%, to $1.23 billion as of June 30, 2007, from $1.18 billion as of December 31, 2006. The increase in deposits is directly attributed to an increase in interest bearing demand deposits and time deposits, driven in part by the Company’s participation in wholesale deposit programs.

Borrowings and Junior Subordinated Debt

The Company regularly uses Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco (“FHLB”) for short term and long term borrowings. FHLB term debt, which matures from July 2007 through March 2009, amounted to $109.8 million at June 30, 2007. Interest on these borrowings accrued at an average rate of 5.15% for the second quarter of 2007 and the first half of 2007. Remaining available debt financing through the FHLB amounted to $319.0 million at June 30, 2007.

The Company has agreements with other lending institutions under which it can purchase up to $91.5 million of federal funds. The interest rate charged on borrowings is determined by the lending institutions at the time of borrowings. Each line is unsecured. The Company had no federal funds purchased as of June 30, 2007.

As of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the Company had approximately $87.6 million, consisting of three separate issuances of trust preferred securities (collectively, the “Securities”), outstanding classified as junior subordinated debt. Community Bancorp (NV) Statutory Trust III has been bifurcated into a fixed and a variable issuance. Of the total issuances, two bear interest at a fixed rate of 5.94% ($20.6 million) and 6.78% ($26.5 million) for the first seven and five years, respectively, and convert to the three-month LIBOR rate plus 1.37% and 1.60%, respectively, through maturity. The remaining two issuances bear interest at the three-month LIBOR rate plus 3.40% ($15.5 million) and 1.60% ($25.0 million), respectively. The three month LIBOR rate at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 was 5.36%.

REGULATORY MATTERS

The regulatory capital guidelines as well as the actual capital ratios for Community Bank of Nevada, Community Bank of Arizona and the Company as of June 30, 2007 are as follows:


					Actual
	Minimum Regulatory		Well Capitalized		Community Bank of Nevada		Community Bank of Arizona		Community Bancorp
Tier 1 leverage capital	4.00	%	5.00	%	11.55	%	30.82	%	12.22	%
Tier 1 risk-based capital	4.00	%	6.00	%	11.32	%	35.51	%	12.07	%
Total risk-based capital	8.00	%	10.00	%	12.36	%	36.76	%	13.63	%

In March 2005, the Federal Reserve Bank adopted a final rule that allows the continued inclusion of trust preferred securities in the Tier I capital of bank holding companies, subject to stricter quantitative limits and qualitative standards. Under the final ruling, qualifying mandatory preferred securities may be included in Tier I capital, subject to a limit of 25% of all core capital. Amounts of restricted core capital elements in excess of this limit generally may be included in Tier II capital. The qualitative limits become effective on March 31, 2009, after a four-year transition period. As of June 30, 2007, the junior subordinated debentures have been included in Tier I capital for regulatory capital purposes up to the specified limit ($77.1 million), and the remainder ($7.9 million) is in Tier II capital.

LIQUIDITY MANAGEMENT

The Company’s liquidity represented by cash and due from banks, federal funds sold and available-for-sale securities, is a result of its operating, investing and financing activities and related cash flows. In order to ensure funds are available at all times, the Company devotes resources to projecting the amount of funds that will be required and maintains relationships with a diversified customer base so that funds are accessible. The Company has the ability to increase liquidity by soliciting higher levels of deposit accounts through promotional activities, wholesale funding, borrowing from its correspondent banks, and the FHLB.

Management believes the Company’s liquid assets are adequate to meet its cash flow needs for loan funding and deposit withdrawals. At June 30, 2007, the Company had $129.9 million in liquid assets comprised of $36.4 million in cash and cash equivalents and $93.5 million in available-for-sale securities. The $24.1 million decrease in liquidity since December 31, 2006 was primarily a result of lower cash holdings and maturities of securities available for sale which were used in part to fund the Company’s loan growth during 2007.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market risk is the risk of loss in a financial instrument arising from adverse changes in market prices, interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices and equity prices. The Company’s market risk arises primarily from interest rate risk inherent in its lending and deposit taking activities. Management uses various asset/liability strategies to manage the re-pricing characteristics of the Company’s earning assets and funding liabilities to ensure that exposure to interest rate fluctuations is within its guidelines of acceptable risk-taking. Hedging strategies, including the terms and pricing of loans and deposits, and managing the deployment of the Company’s securities are used to reduce mismatches in interest rate re-pricing opportunities of portfolio assets and their funding sources.

Interest rate risk is addressed by our Asset Liability Management Committee (“ALCO”) which is comprised of executive officers of the Company. The ALCO monitors interest rate risk by analyzing the potential impact on the net equity value and net interest income from potential changes in interest rates, and considers the impact of alternative strategies or changes in balance sheet structure. The ALCO manages the Company’s balance sheet in part to maintain, within acceptable ranges, the potential impact on net equity value and net interest income despite fluctuations in market interest rates.

Exposure to interest rate risk is reviewed on at least a quarterly basis by the ALCO and the Board of Directors. Interest rate risk exposure is measured using interest rate sensitivity analysis to determine the change in net portfolio value in the event of hypothetical changes in interest rates. If potential changes to net equity value and net interest income resulting from hypothetical interest rate changes are not within the limits established by the Board of Directors, management may adjust the asset and liability mix to bring interest rate risk within approved limits.
