Annual Report 2004


To Our Shareholders Dear Shareholder: 2004 was a very busy year for Community Valley Bancorp. We continued our North Valley expansion with new branches in the communities of Red Bluff, Marysville and Colusa. We also founded CVB Insurance Agency, a full-service insurance agency that provides first class insurance products and services to our rapidly growing family of customers. In spite of this branch expansion and innovative product development, we did not lose sight of our profit goals. Our total assets grew 16.25%, total deposits grew 16.5% and total loan growth was 26%. Our net profit of $5.6 million is an increase of 6.5% over 2003 results. Once again, all 2004 year-end figures represent new highs for your bank. This continued superior level of performance resulted in an appreciation of 33.75% in our share price for the year. So far in 2005 we have already opened a new branch in Corning and will soon begin the construction of our first full-service branch in Redding. Extensive renovation of our Central Chico branch has been completed and our South Paradise location will undergo a similar transformation later this year. We also have plans to move our Marysville branch to a higher profile location at Ellis Lake. This relocation will incorporate a CVB Insurance Agency office to serve the Yuba-Sutter area. Once again, we have been named a Super Premier Performing Bank by the bank consulting firm The Findley Reports. This is our thirteenth consecutive year with this designation and Butte Community Bank is the only institution to have received this honor continuously from its first year of operation. With all this activity, we enter 2005 with great anticipation and excitement. We fully expect to see continued expansion in branches, communities and performance to show results this year and in the future.

DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS Net income was $5,609,648 for 2004 compared to 2003 earnings of $5,269,200.


Discussion & Analysis

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003. This condensed discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial position and results of operations should be read in connection with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.

Overview

Net Interest Income

Net income was $5,609,600 ($1.58 basic earning per share) for 2004 compared to 2003 earnings of $5,269,200 ($1.50 basic earnings per share). Return on beginning shareholders’ equity was 17.2% in 2004 and 19.07% in 2003. Return on average assets in 2004 and 2003 was 1.34% and 1.44%, respectively.

Net interest income is the difference between total interest income and total interest expense. It is expressed as a percentage of average earning assets and is referred to as net interest margin. It is used to measure the difference between the average rate of interest earned on assets and the average rate of interest that must be paid on liabilities used to fund those assets. The Company’s net interest margin for 2004 was 5.70%, up from 5.32% in the year 2003. During 2004, the Company’s net interest margin improved primarily as a result of the change in the mix of investment that contributed to an overall increase in yields and the decrease in the rates paid on interest bearing deposits.

As of December 31, 2004, total assets were $450 million, or a 16% increase over the $387 million at year end 2003. The Company had portfolio loans totaling $339 million at December 31, 2004, for an increase of $69 million, or a 26% increase over the $270 million at December 31, 2003. Deposits also increased 17% to $399 million from the previous year end total of $343 million. The Company’s continued growth in its branch banking system along with the introduction of new and varied banking products were principal factors in the increased totals.

Community Valley Bancorp

1994 Assets: $57 million

On an average basis, the rates on loans decreased by 40 basis points resulting in a decrease in interest income of $1.3 million. This decrease in rates was more than offset by the increase in the average volume of loans of $59 million that generated an additional $4.8 million in loan related interest income. During 2004 overall interest income on earning assets increased by $3.5 million. Due to the favorable changes in the Company’s mix of deposits from the growth in average balances of NOW, savings and money market accounts, the Company was able to increase the overall level of deposits while decreasing interest expense by $340,000 which contributed to the increase of $3.8 million in net interest income.


Non-Interest Income

Other Expenses

Non-interest income of $6 million increased $69,000 over the 2003 total. The primary traditional sources of non-interest income for the Company are service charges on deposit accounts, gains on the sale of loans, loan servicing income, alternative investment fees earned on the sales of non-deposit investment products and merchant credit card fees.

Occupancy and other expenses increased by $1.1 million or 19%, to $6.8 million in 2004 from $5.7 million in 2003. This increase was primarily due to the opening of the three new branch offices mentioned above. There were no other material changes in the areas of data processing, accounting, legal or other professional services that make up the majority of this category.

Non-Interest Expense

Provision for Taxes

The Company’s total non-interest expense increased to $16.7 million in 2004, as compared to $13.8 million in 2003. Refer to the Income Statement in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements for a detailed description on non-interest income.

The effective tax rate for 2004 was 40.4% compared to 38.7% for 2003. The provision for current taxes results from applying the current tax rate to taxable income, and is in essence the actual current income tax liability. Some items of income and expense are recognized in different years for tax purposes than when applying accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, however, leading to differences between the Company’s actual tax liability and the amount accrued for this liability based on book income.

Salaries and Benefits Salaries and employee benefits increased in 2004 by $1.8 million, or 22.4% from 2003. This increase resulted from normal cost of living raises, salaries paid to employees at the three new branch offices in Red Bluff, Marysville and Colusa, commissions paid to Butte Community Bank’s Real Estate Loan Agents and staffing additions made during the year as the Company continued to grow.

MOST VALUABLE TYPEWRITER Ian Fleming’s gold-plated typewriter, which was commissioned by the writer in 1952, was sold for $89,229 at Christie’s in London, on May 5, 1995. Fleming is best known as the creator of James Bond, the suave spy-hero of his best-selling novels.


Discussion & Analysis Loans

Non-Performing Assets

A comparative schedule of outstanding loan balances is presented in Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Loan balances net of the allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2004 were $339.2 million, an increase of 26% from the $270.2 million at year-end 2003. This increase, primarily in the real estate lending area, is due to the Company’s decision to continue to concentrate on short-term secured loans.

Management classifies all loans as non-accrual when they become more than 90 days past due, or earlier when the timely collection of interest or principal becomes questionable. A loan remains in non-accrual status until principal and interest are current for a sufficient period of time and also meets the Company’s cash flow and collateral requirements. When this criterion is not met, the loan is charged-off against the allowance for loan losses, or in the case of real estate loans, is transferred to other real estate. The Company’s non-performing assets as a percent of net loans totaled 0.03% at December 31, 2004 and 0.02% at December 31, 2003.

Risk Elements The majority of the Company’s loan activity is with customers located within the service area of its branches or lending offices. Approximately 90% of the total loan portfolio is located within the Company’s service area. Significant concentrations of credit risk may exist if a number of loan customers are engaged in similar activities and have similar economic characteristics. The Company believes that it has policies and procedures in place to monitor, mitigate and identify any concentration of credit risk in the portfolio.

Allowances for Loan Losses The provision for loan losses charged to operations is based on the Company’s monthly evaluation of the loan portfolio and the adequacy of the allowance in relation to total loans outstanding. The provision for loan losses amounted to $790,000 in 2004 and $655,000 in 2003. This change in the provision is a reflection of the growth in total loans and management’s evaluation and assessment of the loan portfolio. The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level considered adequate to provide for losses that can reasonably be anticipated. The allowance and relevant changes are shown in Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. At December 31, 2004 the allowance for loan losses was $4.4 million or 1.27% of total loans, compared to $3.6 million or 1.31% in 2003. The Company recorded

net recoveries of $4,000 in 2004 compared to net charge-offs of $75,000 in 2003. The continued low level of charge-offs compared to industry standards reflects the Company’s sound underwriting policies and collection procedures.

Capital The Company and the Bank are subject to certain regulatory capital requirements administered by the FDIC. The FDIC has adopted risk-based capital guidelines which establish a risk-adjusted ratio relating capital to various categories of assets and off balance sheet exposures. The table showing the FDIC required ratios and the Company’s and the Bank’s actual ratios are shown in the Consolidated Financial Statements in Note 11. At December 31, 2004, the Company’s total risk-based capital ratio was 12.5%, the Tier 1 risk-based capital was 11.3% and the leverage capital ratio was 9.5%. All ratios exceed the minimum guidelines of 8%, 4% and 4% respectively. The ratios at December 31, 2003 were 13.3%, 12.2% and 9.9%, respectively.

Liquidity Management The Bank’s liquidity is determined by the level of liquid assets (such as cash, federal funds sold and securities classified as available for sale) that are convertible to cash to meet customer withdrawal and borrowing needs. The Company’s asset and liability policy is used to monitor and determine liquidity needs. At December 31, 2004, the Company’s liquidity ratio (cash, fed funds, and securities) as a percentage of total liabilities was 17.5% as compared to 20% at December 31, 2003.

Asset and Liability Management The objective of asset and liability management is to manage the sensitivity of net interest rate spreads to changes in interest rates. Management also attempts to balance risk with profitability. Interest rate sensitivity measures the difference in both the timing and amount at which certain assets and liabilities are re-priced. The Company historically maintains the majority of its assets and liabilities with relatively short maturities to protect its net interest income from major shifts in rates.
