secured by land was classified as non-performing with a carrying amount of $25.73 million as of December&nbsp;31, 2010. The loan was originated in March 2006 to finance construction of a real estate project in San Jose, California. Due to the
slow-down of the economy, the planned development was delayed, and the value of the collateral deteriorated. The loan was impaired in March 2009 without a specific allowance as the appraised value of the collateral was sufficient to cover the
contractual amount due. Subsequently, $2.67 million was charged off in the fourth quarter of 2010 based on the most recent appraisal value of the collateral at $25.65 million. As of December&nbsp;31, 2010, the Bank has a specific allowance of $
75&nbsp;thousand for this impaired loan. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">A construction loan secured by an apartment building was classified as non-performing
with a carrying value of $7.18 million as of December&nbsp;31, 2010. The loan was originated in April&nbsp;29, 2005 to finance the construction of low income senior housing units in the city of Los Angeles. At maturity of the original loan
agreement, the project was 55% complete. Eventually, the equity investor halted its funding of the project. Since then, the project was in litigation with the former general contractor and forced into involuntary bankruptcy. The loan was classified
as impaired in September 2007 and a specific reserve of $4.86 million was established based upon a current appraisal. Subsequently, $4.86 million was charged off in November 2008 and $4.55 million was charged off in December 2009 based on the
current appraisal value of $7.65 million. As of December&nbsp;31, 2010, the Bank does not have a specific allowance for this impaired loan as the most recent appraisal value of the collateral is $21.6 million. </FONT></P>

available, the Bank considers whether a discount to the appraised value was needed to reflect current market conditions. In calculating the discount to the appraised value, the Bank would consider the location of the collateral, the property type,
the property&#146;s market condition, and any third party comparable sales. The aggregate average reduction applied to these impaired loans was 14%, although each property is separately considered and percentage reductions ranged from 7% to 35%.

portfolio required further disaggregation by class. This disaggregation was accomplished by disaggregating real estate into property type (retail, land, other, construction and residential property). Commercial and Industrial loans were

The shorter window places greater emphasis on losses taken by the Bank recently within the past year, as recent loss history is more relevant to the Bank&#146;s risks given the rapid changes to asset quality within the current economic conditions.

declare a loss when its collectability is questionable and that the Bank can no longer justify presenting the loan as an asset on its balance sheet. To determine if a loan should be charged off, all possible sources of repayment are analyzed,
including the potential for future cash flow from income or liquidation of other assets, the value of any collateral, and the strength of co makers or guarantors. When these sources do not provide a reasonable probability that principal can be
collected in full, the Bank will fully or partially charge off the loan. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">For a real estate loan, including commercial term

off. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">An unsecured consumer loan where a borrower files for bankruptcy, the loan is considered as loss within 60 days of

payment structure modifications where the monthly principal and interest payment is reduced or modified to an interest payment only. The terms of these modifications are usually three to six months. After that term expires, the monthly payment
reverts back to the original principal and interest payment in the loan agreement. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="font-size:6px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px">&nbsp;</P>

deferrals from three to six months which were not considered troubled debt restructuring as there was not a concession granted to the borrowers under the Bank&#146;s troubled debt restructurings policy. Further, non-credit related modifications
granted to borrowers since January&nbsp;1, 2009 were minimal and included a change in interest rate or other payment terms primarily for maintaining client relationships. </FONT></P>

the existing modification, the Bank considered each modification as a separate transaction and disclosed the cumulative information. Due to the relatively short term nature of the modification periods that we grant to our borrowers, some of loans
where a modification was granted could have two modifications over the periods disclosed. If we eliminated the loans modified more than one time, the total modified loans would have been 427 loans with net carrying value of $336 million as of

STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Another reason for the large difference between the balance of restructured loans and troubled debt restructured loans is that over the past two years, the Bank has reduced their less quality assets
through paydowns and note sales. During the last 30 months, a total of 56 modified loans with net carrying value of $96 million were either sold or held for sale as of June&nbsp;30, 2011. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT
