This Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include, among other things, the information concerning our possible future consolidated results of operations, business and growth strategies, financing plans, our competitive position and the effects of competition.  Forward-looking statements include all statements that are not historical facts and can be identified by forward-looking words such as “anticipate”, “believe”, “could”, “estimate”, “expect”, “intend”, “plan”, “may”, “should”, “will”, “would”, “project” and similar expressions. These forward-looking statements are based on information currently available to us and are subject to inherent risks and uncertainties, and certain factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated. Particular uncertainties arise from the behavior of financial markets, including fluctuations in interest rates and securities prices, from unanticipated changes in the risk characteristics of the lease and loan portfolios, the level of defaults and a change in the provision for credit losses, and from numerous other matters of national, regional and global scale, including those of a political, economic, business, competitive or regulatory nature.

NOTE 1- BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of California First National Bancorp (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries California First National Bank (“CalFirst Bank” or the “Bank”) and California First Leasing Corporation (“CalFirst Leasing”) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2011. The material under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” is written with the presumption that the readers have read or have access to the 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K, which contains Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations as of June 30, 2011 and for the year then ended.

In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the balance sheet as of September 30, 2011 and the statements of earnings, cash flows and stockholders’ equity for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010. The results of operations for the three-month period ended September 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the entire fiscal year ending June 30, 2012.

NOTE 2 – RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In April 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standard Update (ASU) 2011-02, “Receivables (Topic 310) – A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring Is a Troubled Debt Restructuring.” This ASU clarifies which loan modifications constitute troubled debt restructurings for purposes of recording an impairment loss and for disclosure of troubled debt restructurings. This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after June 15, 2011, and applies retrospectively to restructurings occurring on or only after the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. Early application is permitted. In addition, ASU 2011-02 requires that an entity disclose the information required by ASU 2010-20, “Receivables (Topic 310) – Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses,” which was previously deferred by ASU 2011-01. These disclosure requirements are effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after June 15, 2011. Adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on results of operations or financial condition.

In June 2011, FASB issued ASU 2011-05, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) – Presentation of Comprehensive Income .” This ASU requires an entity that reports items of other comprehensive income to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. This guidance is to be applied retrospectively and is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted. Adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on results of operations or financial condition.

NOTE 3 – STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

At September 30, 2011, the Company has one stock option plan, which is more fully described in Note 14 in the Company’s 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K.  The Company has not awarded any new grants since fiscal 2004 and has not recognized compensation expense related to unvested shares since September 2008.

NOTE 4 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT:

ASC Topic 820: “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” defines fair value as the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability.  ASC Topic 820 establishes a three-tiered value hierarchy that prioritizes inputs based on the extent to which inputs used are observable in the market and requires the Company to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.  If a value is based on inputs that fall in different levels of the hierarchy, the instrument will be categorized based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value calculation.  The three levels of inputs are defined as follows:
·
Level 1 - Valuation is based upon unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets;
·
Level 2 - Valuation is based upon 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 in the market;
·
Level 3 - Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use inputs not observable in the market and based on the entity’s own judgment.  Level 3 valuation techniques could include the use of option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques, and rely on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
ASC 820 applies whenever other accounting pronouncements require presentation of fair value measurements, but does not change existing guidance as to whether or not an instrument is carried at fair value.  As such, ASC 820 does not apply to the Company’s investment in leases.  The Company’s financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis include primarily securities available-for-sale and at September 30, 2011, there were no liabilities subject to ASC 820.
Securities available-for-sale include corporate bonds, municipal bonds, and mutual fund and equity investments and generally are reported at fair value utilizing Level 1 and Level 2 inputs.  The fair value of corporate and municipal bonds are obtained from independent quotation bureaus that use computerized valuation formulas to calculate current values based on observable transactions, but not a quoted bid, or are valued using prices obtained from the custodian, who uses third party data service providers (Level 2 input).  Mutual funds and equity investments are valued by reference to the market closing or last trade price (Level 1 inputs).  In the unlikely event that no trade occurred on the applicable date, an indicative bid or the last trade most proximate to the applicable date would be used (Level 2 input).

Certain financial instruments, such as impaired loans and unfunded loan commitments, are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis; that is, the instruments are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments only in certain circumstances, usually if there was evidence of impairment.  The Company had no such assets or liabilities at September 30, 2011 and June 30, 2011.

NOTE 5 – FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:

In accordance with ASC 825-50, the following table summarizes the estimated fair value of financial instruments as of September 30, 2011, and June 30, 2011, and includes financial instruments that are not accounted for or carried at fair value.  In accordance with disclosure guidance, certain financial instruments, including all lease related assets and liabilities and all non-financial instruments are excluded from fair value of financial instrument disclosure requirements.  Accordingly, the aggregate of the fair values presented does not represent the total underlying value of the Company.  These fair value estimates are based on relevant market information and data, however, given there is no active market or observable market transactions for certain financial instruments, the Company has made estimates of fair values which are subjective in nature, involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision.  Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimated values.

For cash and cash equivalents, demand deposits, short-term borrowings, and certain commercial loans that re-price frequently, the fair value is estimated to equal the carrying cost.  Values for investments and available-for-sale securities are determined as set forth in Note 4 and 7.  The fair value of loan participations that trade in the secondary market is based upon current bid prices in such market at the measurement date.  For other loans, the estimated fair value is calculated based on discounted cash flow analyses, using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality.  These calculations have been adjusted for credit risk based on the Company’s historical credit loss experience.  The fair value of certificates of deposit and long-term borrowings is estimated based on discounted cash flows using current offered market rates or interest rates for borrowings of similar maturity.

The investment in Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco (“FHLB”) stock is a required investment related to CalFirst Bank’s borrowings from the FHLB. The FHLB obtains its funding primarily through issuance of consolidated obligations of the Federal Home Loan Bank system.  The U.S. Government does not guarantee these obligations, and each of the 12 FHLB’s are generally jointly and severally liable for repayment of each other’s debt.  Therefore, the Company’s investment could be adversely impacted by the financial operations of the FHLB and actions by the Federal Housing Finance Agency.  These investments have no stated maturity.

The mortgage-backed investments consist of two U.S. agency issued securities.  The Company has determined that it has the ability to hold these investments until maturity and, given the Company’s intent to do so, anticipates that it will realize the full carrying value of its investment and carries the securities at amortized cost.

The fair value of the mutual fund investment has fluctuated over the last year along with changes in the markets, and the decline in value has not been deemed sufficiently permanent as to consider the investment impaired. The Company has the ability and intent to retain this investment for a sufficient time to recover its investment.

11

The Company conducts a regular assessment of its investment portfolios to determine whether any securities are other-than-temporarily impaired. In estimating other-than-temporary impairment losses, management considers, among other factors, length of time and extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, the financial condition and near term prospects of the issuer, and the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery. At of September 30, 2011, no securities were other than temporarily impaired.

Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance. Loan origination fees and certain direct origination costs are capitalized and recognized as an adjustment of the yield of the related commercial loan.

NOTE 10 – CREDIT QUALITY OF FINANCING RECEIVABLES AND ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES

The following tables provide information on the credit profile of the components of the portfolio and allowance for credit losses related to “financing receivables” as defined under ASC Topic 310.  This disclosure on “financing receivables” covers the Company’s direct finance and sales-type leases and all commercial loans, but does not include operating leases, transactions in process or residual values.   The portfolio is disaggregated into segments and classifications appropriate for assessing and monitoring the portfolios’ risk and performance. This disclosure does not encompass all risk assets or the entire allowance for credit losses.

Portfolio segments identified by the Company include leases and loans.  These segments have been disaggregated into four classes: 1) commercial leases, 2) education, government and non-profit leases, 3) commercial and industrial loans and 4) commercial real estate loans.  Relevant risk characteristics for establishing these portfolio classes generally include the nature of the borrower, structure of the transaction and collateral type. The Company’s credit process includes a policy of classifying all leases and loans in accordance with a risk rating classification system consistent with regulatory models under which leases and loans may be rated as “pass”, “special mention”, “substandard”, or “doubtful”. These risk categories reflect an assessment of the ability of the borrowers to service their obligation based on current financial position, historical payment experience, and collateral adequacy, among other factors.  The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings:

12

Pass  – Includes credits of the highest quality as well as credits with positive primary repayment source but one or more characteristics that are of higher than average risk.

Special Mention – Have a potential weakness that if left uncorrected may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the lease or loan or of the Company’s credit position at some future date.

Substandard – Are inadequately protected by the paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral, if any. Substandard credits have a well-defined weakness that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt or indicate the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Doubtful – Based on current information and events, collection of all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the lease or loan agreement is considered highly questionable and improbable.

The risk classification of financing receivables by portfolio class is as follows:

The accrual of interest income on leases and loans will be discontinued when the customer becomes ninety days or more past due on its lease or loan payments with the Company, unless the Company believes the investment is otherwise recoverable.  Leases and loans may be placed on non-accrual earlier if the Company has significant doubt about the ability of the customer to meet its lease or loan obligations, as evidenced by consistent delinquency, deterioration in the customer’s financial condition or other relevant factors. Payments received while on non-accrual are applied to reduce the Company’s recorded value.

NOTE 11 – BORROWINGS

CalFirst Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco (“FHLB”) and, as such can take advantage of FHLB programs for overnight and term advances at published daily rates.  Under terms of a blanket collateral agreement, advances from the FHLB are collateralized by qualifying investment securities.  The Bank also has authority to borrow from the Federal Reserve Bank (“FRB”) discount window amounts secured by certain lease receivables.  At September 30, 2011, there was $10 million borrowed from the FHLB, with remaining availability of $2.5 million, while CalFirst Bank had no borrowings from the FRB, with unused borrowing availability of approximately $72.9 million secured by $100 million of lease receivables.

Borrowing capacity from the FHLB or FRB may fluctuate based upon the acceptability and risk rating of securities, loan and lease collateral and both the FRB and FHLB could adjust advance rates applied to such collateral at their discretion.  The $10.0 million short-term borrowing matures on January 12, 2012 with the interest rate of 2.07% at September 30, 2011 and June 30, 2011.

CALIFORNIA FIRST NATIONAL BANCORP

CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

GENERAL


California First National Bancorp, a California corporation, is a bank holding company headquartered in Orange County, California. CalFirst Bank focuses on leasing and financing capital assets which it funds directly or through CalFirst Leasing. Leased assets are re-marketed at lease expiration. CalFirst Bank also provides business loans to fund the purchase of assets leased by third parties, including CalFirst Leasing, purchases participations in commercial loan syndications and provides commercial loans to businesses, including real estate based and revolving lines of credit.  CalFirst Bank gathers deposits from a centralized location primarily through posting rates on the Internet.

The Company’s direct finance, loan and interest income includes interest income earned on the Company’s investment in lease receivables, residuals, commercial loans and investment securities. Non-interest income primarily includes gains realized on the sale of leased property and leases, income from sales-type and operating leases, gains and losses realized on investments, and other income. Income from sales-type leases relates to the re-lease of lease property (“lease extensions”) while income from operating leases generally involves lease extensions that are accounted for as an operating lease rather than as a sales-type lease.

The Company's operating results are subject to quarterly fluctuations resulting from a variety of factors, including the size and credit quality of the lease and loan portfolios, the volume and profitability of leased property being re-marketed through re-lease or sale, the interest rate environment, the market for investment securities, the volume of new lease or loan originations, including variations in the mix and funding of such originations, and economic conditions in general. The Company’s principal market risk exposure currently is related to interest rates and the differences in the repricing characteristics of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. The Company’s current balance sheet structure is short-term in nature, with a greater portion of assets that reprice or mature within one year.  The Company’s interest margin also is susceptible to timing lags related to varying movements in market interest rates.  Many of the Company’s leases, loans and liquid investments are tied to U.S. treasury rates and Libor that often do not move in step with bank deposit rates.  As a result, this can cause a greater change in net interest income than indicated by the repricing asset and liability comparison.

The Company conducts its business in a manner designed to mitigate risks. However, the assumption of risk is a key source of earnings in the leasing and banking industries and the Company is subject to risks through its investment securities, leases and loans held in its own portfolio, lease transactions in process, and residual investments. The Company takes steps to manage risks through the implementation of strict credit management processes and on-going risk management review procedures.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of the Company’s financial statements requires management to make certain critical accounting estimates that impact the stated amount of assets and liabilities at a financial statement date and the reported amount of income and expenses during a reporting period.  These accounting estimates are based on management’s judgment and are considered to be critical because of their significance to the financial statements and the possibility that future events may differ from current judgments, or that the use of different assumptions could result in materially different estimates.  The critical accounting policies and estimates have not changed from and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2011.
The Company's estimates are reviewed continuously to ensure reasonableness.  However, the amounts the Company may ultimately realize could differ from such estimated amounts.

Overview of Results and Trends

The following discussion is provided in addition to the required analysis of earnings in order to discuss trends in our business. We believe this analysis provides additional meaningful information on a comparative basis.

Net earnings for the first quarter ended September 30, 2011 were $2.5 million, up 50% from the $1.7 million earned during the first quarter of fiscal 2011.  The increase in net earnings from the first quarter of the prior year is largely due to $1.2 million increase in income from the re-lease and sale of leased property reaching the end of term and a 12% increase in net interest income after provision for credit losses.
16

New lease bookings of $39.7 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2012 were up 39% while commercial loans boarded of $5.3 million declined from $37.5 million boarded in the first quarter of fiscal 2011.  The decline in commercial loans was due to continued restrictions on CalFirst Bank’s commercial loan activities.  As a result, total lease and loan assets booked in the quarter decreased 32% to $44.9 million.  The net investment in leases and loans of $313.1 million at September 30, 2011 decreased slightly from June 30, 2011 and was up 11.4% from the balance at September 30, 2010. During the first quarter of fiscal 2012, lease originations and lease purchase commitments were 10% less than the level of the first quarter of fiscal 2011, but with no commercial loan development, total originations were down 79% from the first quarter of fiscal 2011.  At September 30, 2011, the backlog of approved lease and loan commitments of $113.0 million is 25% below the level of a year ago and down 8% from June 30, 2011.


Consolidated Statement of Earnings Analysis

Summary -- For the first quarter ended September 30, 2011, net earnings of $2.5 million increased 50% compared to the first quarter ended September 30, 2010.  Diluted earnings per share of $0.24 for the first quarter of fiscal 2012 were up 48% from $0.16 for the first quarter of fiscal 2011.

Net Direct Finance, Loan and Interest Income -- Net direct finance, loan and interest income is the difference between interest earned on the investment in leases, loans, securities and other interest earning assets and interest paid on deposits or other borrowings. Net direct finance, loan and interest income is affected by changes in the volume and mix of interest earning assets, the movement of interest rates, and funding and pricing strategies.

Net direct finance, loan and interest income was $5.2 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2011, a $258,000, or 5.2% increase compared to the same quarter of the prior year.  Total direct finance, loan and interest income for the first quarter ended September 30, 2011 increased 3.7% to $6.1 million from $5.9 million earned during the first quarter of fiscal 2011.  The increase includes a $429,000, or 11.5%, increase in direct finance income related to a 18.4% increase in the average investment in leases offset by a 46 basis point drop in average yields earned on leases held in the Company’s own portfolio.  Commercial loan income decreased $211,000 due to a 153 basis point decline in the average yield on an average loan portfolio that increased $7.4 million to $87.9 million.  Investment income remained flat at $838,000 as average cash and investment balances increased 19.5% to $169.3 million and the average yield dropped 39 basis points.  During the first quarter of fiscal 2012, interest expense paid on deposits and borrowings decreased $40,000, or 4.4%, reflecting a 40 basis point drop in the average interest rate to 1.26% and an increase of $57.7 million in average balances to $280.8 million.

Provision for Credit Losses -- The Company did not record a provision for credit losses in the first quarter of fiscal 2012, compared to a $275,000 provision for the same period in the prior year.  The decrease in the provision primarily related to stability in the credit profile of the lease portfolio and a 7% decline in the commercial loan portfolio from June 30, 2011.

Non-interest Income -- Total non-interest income for the first quarter ended September 30, 2011 increased by $0.9 million, or 91.5%, to $1.9 million, compared to $1.0 million for the same quarter of the prior fiscal year.  The increase was primarily due to one sales type lease booked in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 related to the re-lease of property on a lease reaching the end of term.

Non-interest Expense -- The Company’s non-interest expenses reported for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 increased $95,000, or 3.2%, to $3.1 million compared to $3.0 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2011.  The increase in non-interest expenses is primarily due to higher compensation expense recognized related to the sales organization.

Income Taxes -- Income taxes were accrued at a tax rate of 38.00% and 38.25% for the first quarter ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, representing the estimated annual tax rate for the fiscal years ending June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Financial Condition Analysis

Consolidated total assets at September 30, 2011 of $524.2 million compared to $524.4 million at June 30, 2011.  The net investment in leases increased $2.4 million to $228.9 while the commercial loan portfolio declined $6.4 million to $89.4 million that was offset by an increase of $4.5 million in securities available-for-sale.

Lease and Loan Portfolio Analysis

The Company’s strategy is to develop lease and loan portfolios with risk/reward profiles that meet its objectives. The Company currently funds most new lease transactions internally, with a portion of lease receivables assigned to other financial institutions. During the first three months ended September 30, 2011, all of the new leases booked by the Company were held in its own portfolios, compared to 98% during the first three months of fiscal 2011. The $2.4 million increase in the Company’s net investment in leases during the quarter includes a $2.6 million increase in lease receivables offset by a slight decrease in the estimated residual values.  The increase in lease receivables is due to the volume of new leases being booked during the period being sufficient to offset payments received and leases terminating.  The decreased investment in residual values is due to a larger volume of leases maturing than booked during the period in which the Company retained a residual investment.  The $6.4 million decline in the Company’s commercial loan portfolio reflected loan payoff and repayments aggregating to $11.6 million offset by the addition of $5.2 million new commercial loan participations.

The Company often makes payments to purchase leased property prior to the commencement of the lease.  The disbursements for these lease transactions in process are generally made to facilitate the lessees’ property implementation schedule. The lessee is contractually obligated by the lease to make rental payments directly to the Company during the period that the transaction is in process, and the lessee generally is obligated to reimburse the Company for all disbursements under certain circumstances.  Income is not recognized while a transaction is in process and prior to the commencement of the lease. At September 30, 2011, the Company’s investment in property acquired for transactions in process of $29.8 million related to approximately $84.5 million of approved direct lease commitments.  This investment in transactions in process increased slightly from $29.2 million at June 30, 2011, which related to direct lease commitments of $87.2 million, but was down from $34.5 million at September 30, 2010, which related to approved lease commitments of $82.5 million. In addition, at September 30, 2011 the Company had unfunded commercial loan commitments of $17.6 million, and unfunded lease purchase commitments of $7.5 million.

The Company monitors the performance of all leases and loans held in its own portfolio, transactions in process, as well as lease transactions assigned to lenders, if the Company retains a residual investment in the leased property subject to those leases. An ongoing review of all leases and loans ten or more day’s delinquent is conducted. Lessees and loans that are delinquent with the Company or an assignee are coded in the Company’s accounting and tracking systems in order to provide management visibility, periodic reporting, and appropriate reserves. The accrual of interest income on leases and loans generally will be discontinued when the lease or loan becomes ninety days or more past due on its payments with the Company, unless the Company believes the investment is otherwise recoverable. Leases and loans may be placed on non-accrual earlier if the Company has significant doubts about the ability of the customer to meet its obligations, as evidenced by consistent delinquency, deterioration in the customer’s financial condition or other relevant factors.

The following table summarizes the Company’s non-performing leases and loans:

$ 2,491 $ 2,623

The decrease in non-performing assets was primarily due to the decline in non-accrual leases at September 30, 2011 compared to June 30, 2011 as payments received lowered the balances due. The restructured lease balance includes two leases, both of which were current with their payments at September 30, 2011. In addition to the non-performing leases and loans identified above, there was $9.9 million of investment in leases and loans at September 30, 2011 classified as substandard or with credits that currently are experiencing financial difficulties or that management believes may experience financial difficulties in the future. This amount compared to $13.6 million at June 30, 2011 and $8.9 million at September 30, 2010. Although these credits have been identified as potential problems, they may never become non-performing. These potential problem leases and loans are considered in the determination of the allowance for credit losses.

Allowance for Credit Losses

The allowance for credit losses provides coverage for probable and estimatable losses in the Company’s lease and loan portfolios. The allowance recorded is based on a quarterly review of all leases and loans outstanding and transactions in process. Lease receivables, loans or residuals are charged off when they are deemed completely uncollectible. The determination of the appropriate amount of any provision is based on management’s judgment at that time and takes into consideration all known relevant internal and external factors that may affect the portfolios.

The allowance for credit losses increased $83,000 to $5.2 million (1.6% of net investment in leases and loans before allowances) at September 30, 2011 from $5.1 million (1.7% of net investment in leases and loans before allowances) at June 30, 2011. This allowance consisted of $701,000 allocated to specific accounts that were identified as problems and $4.44 million that was available to cover losses inherent in the portfolio. This compared to $787,000 allocated to specific accounts at June 30, 2011 and $4.27 million available for losses inherent in the portfolio at that time.  The slight decrease in the specific allowance at September 30, 2011 primarily relates to payments received against substandard leases. The Company considers the allowance for credit losses of $5.2 million at September 30, 2011 adequate to cover losses specifically identified as well as inherent in the lease and loan portfolios. However, no assurance can be given that the Company will not, in any particular period, sustain lease and loan losses that are sizeable in relation to the amount reserved, or that subsequent evaluations of the lease and loan portfolio, in light of factors then prevailing, including economic conditions and the on-going credit review process, will not require significant increases in the allowance for credit losses. Among other factors, economic and political events may have an adverse impact on the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses by increasing credit risk and the risk of potential loss even further.

Investment Securities Available-for-sale

Total securities available-for-sale was $67.2 million as of September 30, 2011, compared with $62.7 million at June 30, 2011.  The amortized cost and fair value of the Company’s securities portfolio available-for-sale at September 30, 2011 and June 30, 2011 are as follows:

During the first quarter of fiscal 2012, the Company’s portfolio of securities available-for-sale increased $4.5 million primarily due the additions of $11.2 million to the corporate bond portfolio offset by a maturing bond and payments received.  At September 30, 2011, the securities portfolio included an unrealized pre-tax gain of $0.7 million compared to a $2.3 million unrealized pre-tax gain at June 30, 2011.  The weighted average maturity was 2.1 years and the corresponding weighted average yield was 4.71 percent at September 30, 2011.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company funds its operating activities through internally generated funds, bank deposits and non-recourse debt. At September 30, 2011 and June 30, 2011, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents were $99.1 million and $97.3 million, respectively.  Stockholders’ equity at September 30, 2011 was $201.1 million, or 38.4% of total assets, compared to $199.6 million, or 38.1% of total assets, at June 30, 2011.  At September 30, 2011, the Company and the Bank exceed their regulatory capital requirements and are considered “well-capitalized” under guidelines established by the FRB and OCC.

Deposits at CalFirst Bank totaled $273.7 million at September 30, 2011, compared to $221.4 million at September 30, 2010 and $274.8 million at June 30, 2011. The $52.3 million increase from September 30, 2010 was used to fund leases and investments, as well as maintain liquidity at the Bank.  The following table presents the balances, average balances and average rates paid on deposits for the quarters ended September 30, 2011 and 2010:

The Bank has entered into borrowing agreements with the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco to take advantage of FHLB programs for overnight and term advances at published daily rates.  The Bank had an outstanding balance of $10.0 million under the Federal Home Loan Bank agreement at September 30, 2011, classified as short-term, at a borrowing cost of 2.07%.  The principal amount of the long-term FHLB advance matures on January 12, 2012.  Under terms of the blanket collateral agreement, advances from the FHLB are collateralized by qualifying investment securities and qualifying commercial loans, with $2.5 million available under the agreement as of September 30, 2011.  The Bank also has the authority to borrow from the Federal Reserve Bank (“FRB”) discount window amounts secured by certain lease receivables. The Bank had no borrowings under this agreement at September 30, 2011, and unused borrowing availability of approximately $72.9 million secured by $97.5 million of lease receivables.  The Bank may elect from time-to-time to borrow from the Federal Reserve Bank rather than the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco to maintain an immediate secondary source of liquidity.

CalFirst Leasing’s capital expenditures for leased property purchases are sometimes financed by assigning certain lease term payments to banks or other financial institutions, including CalFirst Bank.  The assigned lease payments are discounted at fixed rates such that the lease payments are sufficient to fully amortize the aggregate outstanding debt. At September 30, 2011, the Company had outstanding non-recourse debt aggregating $7.1 million relating to discounted lease rentals assigned to unaffiliated lenders. In the past, the Company has been able to obtain adequate non-recourse funding commitments, and the Company believes it will be able to do so in the future.

At September 30, 2011, CalFirst Leasing has a $15 million line of credit with a bank.  The purpose of the line is to provide resources as needed for investment in transactions-in-process and leases.  The agreement provides for borrowings based on Libor, requires a commitment fee on the unused line balance and allows for advances through March 31, 2012.  The agreement is unsecured, however, the Company guarantees CalFirst Leasing’s obligations.  No borrowings have been made under this line of credit as of September 30, 2011.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

The following table summarizes various contractual obligations as of September 30, 2011. Commitments to purchase property for leases are binding and generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses. Commercial loan commitments are agreements to lend to a customer or purchase a participation provided there is no violation of any condition in the contract.  These commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses. Since the Company expects some of the commitments to expire without being funded, the total amounts do not necessarily represent the Company’s future liquidity requirements.

Disbursements to purchase property on approved leases are estimated to be completed within one year, but it is likely that some portion could be deferred to later periods.

The need for cash for operating activities will increase as the Company expands.  The Company believes that existing cash balances, cash flow from operations, cash flows from its financing and investing activities, and assignments (on a non-recourse basis) of lease payments will be sufficient to meet its foreseeable financing needs.

Inflation has not had a significant impact upon the operations of the Company.


Market risk is the risk of loss of value in a financial instrument arising from changes in market indices such as interest rates, credit spreads and securities prices.  The Company’s principal market risk exposure is interest rate risk, which is the exposure due to differences in the repricing characteristics of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Market risk also arises from the impact that fluctuations in interest rates may have on security prices that may result in changes in the values of financial instruments, such as available-for-sale securities that are accounted for at fair value. As the banking operations of the Company have grown and CalFirst Bank’s deposits represent a greater portion of the Company’s liabilities, the Company is subject to increased interest rate risk. The Bank has an Asset/Liability Management Committee and policies established to manage its interest rate risk. CalFirst Leasing has no interest-bearing debt, and non-recourse debt does not represent an interest rate risk to the Company because it is fully amortized through direct payments from lessees to the purchaser of the lease receivable.

At September 30, 2011, the Company had $94.1 million of cash or invested in securities of very short duration, with another $22.7 million of cash and securities that mature within twelve months.  The Company’s gross investment in lease payments receivable and loan principal of $340.1 million consists of leases with fixed rates and loans with fixed and variable rates, however, $186.9 million of such investment reprices within one year of September 30, 2011. This compares to the Bank’s interest bearing deposit liabilities of $273.7 million, of which 86.8%, or $237.6 million, reprice within one year.  Based on the foregoing, at September 30, 2011 the Company had assets of $303.8 million subject to changes in interest rates over the next twelve months, compared to repricing liabilities of $247.6 million.

The consolidated gap analysis below sets forth the maturity and repricing characteristics of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities for selected time bands. The mismatch between repricings or maturities within a time band is commonly referred to as the “gap” for that period. A positive gap (asset sensitive), where interest rate sensitive assets exceed interest rate sensitive liabilities, generally will result in the net interest margin increasing in a rising rate environment and decreasing in a falling rate environment. A negative gap (liability sensitive) will generally have the opposite result on the net interest margin. The gap analysis at September 30, 2011 presented below indicates that net interest income should increase during periods of rising interest rates and decrease during periods of falling interest rates. However, the static gap analysis does not assess the relative sensitivity of assets and liabilities to changes in interest rates and other factors that could have an impact on interest rate sensitivity or net interest income. Sudden and substantial changes in interest rates may adversely impact income to the extent that the interest rates associated with the assets and liabilities do not change at the same speed, to the same extent, or on the same basis.

In addition to the consolidated gap analysis, the Bank measures its asset/liability position through duration measures and sensitivity analysis, and calculates the potential effect on earnings using maturity gap analysis.  The interest rate sensitivity modeling includes the creation of prospective twelve month "baseline" and "rate shocked" net interest income simulations.  After a "baseline" net interest income is determined, using assumptions that the Bank deems reasonable, market interest rates are raised or lowered by 100 to 300 basis points instantaneously, parallel across the entire yield curve, and a "rate shocked" simulation is run.  Interest rate sensitivity is then measured as the difference between calculated "baseline" and "rate shocked" net interest income.

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.

As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company's management, including its principal executive officer and its principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Senior Vice President, Tax and Accounting concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2011 to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that 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 Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. There were no changes made during the most recent fiscal quarter to the Company's internal controls over financial reporting that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

There have been no material changes in our risk factors from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011.
