Pacific State Bancorp Reports Earnings for the First Quarter of 2008

STOCKTON, Calif., April 17 PRNewswire-FirstCallSteven A. Rosso, President and C.E.O. of Pacific State Bancorp (Nasdaq: PSBC), the parent company of Pacific State Bank, today reported 1st quarter 2008 profits and asset growth for the Stockton, California based financial institution:

— Net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 decreased 17.5% to $1,094,000 from the first quarter of 2007. — Total Assets as of March 31, 2008 increased 2.9% or 11.7% annualized to $443,680,000 from December 31, 2007.

Mr. Rosso noted that the decreased income performance is primarily the result of the Bank experiencing a contraction in its net interest margin. The contraction of the net interest margin is the result of the Bank's interest earning assets repricing downward more quickly, after the federal reserve rate cuts, than the Bank's interest bearing liabilities. During the second and third quarters of 2008, approximately $185 million of interest bearing liabilities will reprice to a current market rate at the time of repricing. Management anticipates that the repricing liabilities will contribute significantly to improving the Bank's net interest margin in the third and fourth quarters of 2008.

In addition to a contracting net interest margin, the Bank has also experienced a decline in non-interest income of $214,000 from 2007 levels. The decline has been the result of decreased asset sales, loan sales, and servicing income. These areas of income generation have been affected by the general slowdown in home sales in the region.

The Bank has also experienced an increase in nonperforming loans from $432,000 at December 31, 2007 to $2,177,000 or 0.66% of gross loans at March 31, 2008. Current nonperforming loans consisted of two customers whose loans were from the commercial segment of the loan portfolio. Management has recorded chargeoffs of $532,000 through March 31, 2008, consisting primarily of the loan which was nonperforming at December 31, 2007. At present, Management believes that the level of allowance for loan losses currently recorded is sufficient for probable losses. The loan portfolio has continued to perform well in 2008 with credit problems remaining confined to specific customers.

The increase of $45,000 ($210,000 total addition) or 27.3% in the provision for loan losses in the first quarter of 2008 over 2007 levels reflects the weakening economic environment within the Bank's service areas, which management is actively monitoring and which may indicate the need to record additional provision in the future.
