During the six-month period ended June 30, 2008, the Company added $800,000 to its loan loss reserves compared to no addition in the first half of 2007.

"Although we have yet to book a loan loss in 2008, the recent decline in real estate values and the slowing economy necessitated increasing our loss reserves which is the primary reason our earnings are lower this year," stated Don Gilles, President and Chief Executive Officer of Valley Commerce Bancorp and Valley Business Bank. "I am pleased to report that the Company's quarter end reports reflect sound credit quality and strong capital and liquidity, all of which have elevated importance in this particular economic environment."

The annualized return on average assets for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 was .67% and .98%, respectively. The annualized return on average equity was 6.56% for the 2008 period compared to 9.77% for the 2007 period.

Net interest income for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2008 was $3.1 million and $6.1 million, respectively, compared to $2.8 million and $5.5 million for the same periods of the previous year. The improvement was primarily attributable to loan growth. The Company's net loans were $216 million at June 30, 2008 which was $21 million or 11% higher than net loans at June 30, 2007. In addition, the cost of funds decreased in the six-month period ended June 30, 2008 compared to the same period of 2007. The average cost of interest-bearing liabilities was 3.04% for the 2008 period compared to 4.19% for the 2007 period, a reduction of 115 basis points. These factors were offset by an 82 basis point reduction in the yield on average loans and other interest-earning assets that was due to falling market interest rates. For the six-month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, the yield on loans and other interest-earning assets was 6.87% and 7.69%, respectively.

The Company's net interest margin for the second quarter of 2008 was 4.71% compared to 4.64% for the second quarter of 2007, an increase of 7 basis points. The Company's net interest margins for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 were 4.74% for the 2008 period compared to 4.69% for the 2007 period. The Company maintained a stable net interest margin despite Fed funds rate decreases totaling 325 basis points during the period September 2007 to June 2008. The net interest margin stability was attributable to both loan growth and management's efforts to mitigate the impact of falling interest rates. These efforts included adding assets earning fixed interest rates to the balance sheet, requiring interest rate floors on variable priced loans, utilizing variable priced funding, and aggressively lowering deposit rates.

Average total assets for the six months ended June 30, 2008 were $287 million compared to $261 million for the same period in 2007, an increase of $26 million or 10%. Average net loans for the six months ended June 30, 2008 were $213 million compared to $189 million for the same period in 2007, an increase of $24 million or 13%.

Average deposits for the six months ended June 30, 2008 were $231 million compared to $209 million for the same period in 2007, an increase of $22 million or 11%. Average demand deposits for the 2008 period were $66 million, a $7 million or 11% increase from the 2007 period.

Total deposits were $262 million at June 30, 2008, a $47 million or 22% increase from the December 31, 2007 total of $215 million, and a $48 million or 23% increase from total deposits of $214 million at June 30, 2007. The Company utilized brokered time deposits and FHLB borrowings in addition to local deposit growth to fund asset growth and maintain targeted liquidity levels. The amount of brokered time deposits at June 30, 2008, December 31, 2007 and June 30, 2007 were $21.9 million, $2.9 million, and $10.0 million, respectively. All other deposits were acquired locally. The Company's long term growth strategy is based on acquiring core deposits in its local market.

The allowance for loan losses totaled $2.6 million or 1.17% of total loans at June 30, 2008 compared to $1.8 million or .89% of total loans at June 30, 2007. An $800,000 loan loss provision was recorded during the six-month period ended June 30, 2008. No loan loss provision was recorded during the comparable period of 2007. Management determined the allowance for loan losses and the second quarter loss provision after consideration of current economic conditions, including a significant decline in real estate values in the Bank's primary markets. The Company recorded net recoveries of $8,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2008 and net recoveries of $6,000 during the same period of 2007.

The Company had $1.4 million in non-performing assets at June 30, 2008 which represented 0.63% of total loans. Non-performing assets were comprised of three nonaccrual loans for which management has established specific loss reserves totaling $102,000. There were no non-performing assets at either June 30, 2007 or December 31, 2007.

Non-interest income for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2008 was $390,000 and $681,000, respectively, compared to $282,000 and $573,000 for the same periods of 2007. The $108,000 increase for the six-month period reflected a $60,000 increase in service charges on deposit accounts during the 2008 period due to increased deposits and a higher fee structure. In addition, the Company recorded a $46,000 gain on sale of investment securities in the 2008 period compared to a slight loss on sale of securities in the 2007 period.

Non-interest expense for the three-and six-month periods ended June 30, 2008 was $2.3 million and $4.6 million, respectively, compared to $2.1 million and $4.2 million for the same respective periods of 2007. The 9% increase in non-interest expense for the year to date period was due primarily to increased employee costs associated with the Company's growth initiatives, higher federal deposit insurance premiums, and increased occupancy and equipment costs. In May 2008, the Company opened a new full service branch office in the City of Tulare and closed its Tulare Loan Production Office.

Valley Commerce Bancorp had 2,460,667 shares of common stock outstanding at June 30, 2008. The book value per share was $11.69 at June 30, 2008, compared to $10.77 at June 30, 2007. The increase in book value was primarily attributable to the retention of earnings during the 12-month period ended June 30, 2008. All per share calculations stated above have been adjusted for the 5% stock dividend declared in June 2008.

(OTCBB:VCBP) Valley Commerce Bancorp

VISALIA, Calif., July 22 - Valley Commerce Bancorp , a bank holding company and the parent company of Valley Business Bank, recently announced unaudited consolidated net income of $536,000 or $.22 per diluted share for the quarter ended June 30, 2008, compared to $671,000 or $.26 per diluted share for the same period of 2007, representing a 15% decrease in diluted earnings per share.

For the six months ended June 30, 2008 the Company's consolidated net income totaled $953,000 or $.38 per diluted share compared to $1,264,000 or $.50 per diluted share achieved in the comparable 2007 period, representing a 24% decrease in diluted earnings per share.

During the six-month period ended June 30, 2008, the Company added $800,000 to its loan loss reserves compared to no addition in the first half of 2007.

"Although we have yet to book a loan loss in 2008, the recent decline in real estate values and the slowing economy necessitated increasing our loss reserves which is the primary reason our earnings are lower this year," stated Don Gilles, President and Chief Executive Officer of Valley Commerce Bancorp and Valley Business Bank. "I am pleased to report that the Company's quarter end reports reflect sound credit quality and strong capital and liquidity, all of which have elevated importance in this particular economic environment."

The annualized return on average assets for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 was .67% and .98%, respectively. The annualized return on average equity was 6.56% for the 2008 period compared to 9.77% for the 2007 period.

Net interest income for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2008 was $3.1 million and $6.1 million, respectively, compared to $2.8 million and $5.5 million for the same periods of the previous year. The improvement was primarily attributable to loan growth. The Company's net loans were $216 million at June 30, 2008 which was $21 million or 11% higher than net loans at June 30, 2007. In addition, the cost of funds decreased in the six-month period ended June 30, 2008 compared to the same period of 2007. The average cost of interest-bearing liabilities was 3.04% for the 2008 period compared to 4.19% for the 2007 period, a reduction of 115 basis points. These factors were offset by an 82 basis point reduction in the yield on average loans and other interest-earning assets that was due to falling market interest rates. For the six-month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, the yield on loans and other interest-earning assets was 6.87% and 7.69%, respectively.

The Company's net interest margin for the second quarter of 2008 was 4.71% compared to 4.64% for the second quarter of 2007, an increase of 7 basis points. The Company's net interest margins for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 were 4.74% for the 2008 period compared to 4.69% for the 2007 period. The Company maintained a stable net interest margin despite Fed funds rate decreases totaling 325 basis points during the period September 2007 to June 2008. The net interest margin stability was attributable to both loan growth and management's efforts to mitigate the impact of falling interest rates. These efforts included adding assets earning fixed interest rates to the balance sheet, requiring interest rate floors on variable priced loans, utilizing variable priced funding, and aggressively lowering deposit rates.

Average total assets for the six months ended June 30, 2008 were $287 million compared to $261 million for the same period in 2007, an increase of $26 million or 10%. Average net loans for the six months ended June 30, 2008 were $213 million compared to $189 million for the same period in 2007, an increase of $24 million or 13%.

Average deposits for the six months ended June 30, 2008 were $231 million compared to $209 million for the same period in 2007, an increase of $22 million or 11%. Average demand deposits for the 2008 period were $66 million, a $7 million or 11% increase from the 2007 period.

Total deposits were $262 million at June 30, 2008, a $47 million or 22% increase from the December 31, 2007 total of $215 million, and a $48 million or 23% increase from total deposits of $214 million at June 30, 2007. The Company utilized brokered time deposits and FHLB borrowings in addition to local deposit growth to fund asset growth and maintain targeted liquidity levels. The amount of brokered time deposits at June 30, 2008, December 31, 2007 and June 30, 2007 were $21.9 million, $2.9 million, and $10.0 million, respectively. All other deposits were acquired locally. The Company's long term growth strategy is based on acquiring core deposits in its local market.

The allowance for loan losses totaled $2.6 million or 1.17% of total loans at June 30, 2008 compared to $1.8 million or .89% of total loans at June 30, 2007. An $800,000 loan loss provision was recorded during the six-month period ended June 30, 2008. No loan loss provision was recorded during the comparable period of 2007. Management determined the allowance for loan losses and the second quarter loss provision after consideration of current economic conditions, including a significant decline in real estate values in the Bank's primary markets. The Company recorded net recoveries of $8,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2008 and net recoveries of $6,000 during the same period of 2007.

The Company had $1.4 million in non-performing assets at June 30, 2008 which represented 0.63% of total loans. Non-performing assets were comprised of three nonaccrual loans for which management has established specific loss reserves totaling $102,000. There were no non-performing assets at either June 30, 2007 or December 31, 2007.

Non-interest income for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2008 was $390,000 and $681,000, respectively, compared to $282,000 and $573,000 for the same periods of 2007. The $108,000 increase for the six-month period reflected a $60,000 increase in service charges on deposit accounts during the 2008 period due to increased deposits and a higher fee structure. In addition, the Company recorded a $46,000 gain on sale of investment securities in the 2008 period compared to a slight loss on sale of securities in the 2007 period.

Non-interest expense for the three-and six-month periods ended June 30, 2008 was $2.3 million and $4.6 million, respectively, compared to $2.1 million and $4.2 million for the same respective periods of 2007. The 9% increase in non-interest expense for the year to date period was due primarily to increased employee costs associated with the Company's growth initiatives, higher federal deposit insurance premiums, and increased occupancy and equipment costs. In May 2008, the Company opened a new full service branch office in the City of Tulare and closed its Tulare Loan Production Office.

Valley Commerce Bancorp had 2,460,667 shares of common stock outstanding at June 30, 2008. The book value per share was $11.69 at June 30, 2008, compared to $10.77 at June 30, 2007. The increase in book value was primarily attributable to the retention of earnings during the 12-month period ended June 30, 2008. All per share calculations stated above have been adjusted for the 5% stock dividend declared in June 2008.

While our policies as detailed above are designed to minimize any impact upon our members of a conflict of interest between our company and our members, each member should be fully aware that such potential and actual conflicts of interest may well exist due to the compensation structure detailed herein. For this reason, and because the information contained on Stockwire.com is updated on a regular basis as circumstances change, each member is strongly encouraged to periodically review the Profile Compensation section at http://www.stockwire.com/disclaimer_profiles.htm.
