FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

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 portfolio, 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. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date made. The Company undertakes no obligations to update any forward-looking statements. Management does not undertake to update our forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances arising after the date on which they are made.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

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, 2010. 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 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K, which contains Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations as of June 30, 2010 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 December 31, 2010 and the statements of earnings, cash flows and stockholders’ equity for the three and six-month periods ended December 31, 2010 and 2009. The results of operations for the three and six month period ended December 31, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the entire fiscal year ending June 30, 2011.

NOTE 2 – RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In July 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standard Update (ASU) 2010-20, “Receivables (Topic 310): Disclosure about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses”. This statement requires the disclosure of more information about the credit quality of the Company’s portfolio but as it does not seek to change recognition or measurement, did not have an impact on our financial condition, cash flows, or results of operations upon its adoption October 1, 2010. See Note 10 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

NOTE 3 – STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

At December 31, 2010, the Company has one stock option plan, which is more fully described in Note 13 in the Company’s 2010 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.

The following table summarizes the stock option activity for the periods indicated:

	Six months ended December 31, 2010					Six months ended December 31, 2009
	Shares			Weighted Average Exercise Price		Shares			Weighted Average Exercise Price

	$ 5.20 - $12.49	160,645	0.76	$ 7.08

NOTE 4 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“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 at December 31, 2010. There were no liabilities subject to ASC 820.

Securities available-for-sale include corporate bonds, U.S. Treasury Securities, and mutual fund investments and generally are reported at fair value utilizing Level 1 and Level 2 inputs. The fair value of corporate 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). U.S. Treasury Securities and mutual funds 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).

The following table summarizes the Company’s assets, which are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2010 and June 30, 2010:

(in thousands)	Total		Quoted Price in Active Markets for Identical Assets		Significant Other Observable Inputs		Significant Unobservable Inputs
Description of Assets / Liabilities	Fair Value		(Level 1)		(Level 2)		(Level 3)

As of December 31, 2010
Corporate bonds	$	46,277	$	-	$	46,277	$	-
Mutual fund investments		3,245		3,245		-		-
Equity investment		463		463
	$	49,985	$	3,708	$	46,277	$	-

As of June 30, 2010
U.S. Treasury Securities	$	11,086	$	11,086	$	-	$	-
Corporate bonds		53,529		-		53,529		-
Mutual fund investments		3,339		3,339		-		-
	$	67,954	$	14,425	$	53,529	$	-

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 December 31, 2010 and June 30, 2010.

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 December 31, 2010, and June 30, 2010, 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 fair value of the Company’s assets. 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. The fair value of loan participations traded 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 estimated fair values of financial instruments were as follows:

	December 31, 2010				June 30, 2010
	Carrying		Estimated		Carrying		Estimated
	Amount		Fair Value		Amount		Fair Value
	(in thousands)
Financial Assets:
Cash and cash equivalents	$	43,285	$	43,285	$	73,988	$	73,988
Investments		3,742		3,790		4,020		4,083
Securities available-for-sale		49,985		49,985		67,954		67,954
Commercial loans		108,277		108,446		65,409		65,532
Financial Liabilities:
Demand and savings deposits		72,433		72,433		65,934		65,934
Time certificate of deposits		153,085		153,518		139,988		140,764
Long-term borrowings	$	10,000	$	10,077	$	10,000	$	10,124

NOTE 6 – INVESTMENTS:

Investments are carried at cost and consist of the following:

	December 31, 2010				June 30, 2010
	Carrying Cost		Fair Value		Carrying Cost		Fair Value
	(dollars in thousands)
Federal Reserve Bank Stock	$	1,655	$	1,655	$	1,655	$	1,655
Federal Home Loan Bank Stock		1,481		1,481		1,604		1,604
Mortgage-backed investments		606		654		761		824
	$	3,742	$	3,790	$	4,020	$	4,083

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.

NOTE 7 – SECURITIES AVAILABLE FOR SALE:

The amortized cost, fair value, and carrying value of securities at December 31, 2010 were as follows:

(in thousands)	Amortized		Gross Unrealized		Fair		Carrying
	Cost		Gains / (Losses)		Value		Value

The Company did not have any unrealized losses on available-for-sale securities at December 31, 2010 and June 30, 2010.

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 December 31, 2010, no securities were other than temporarily impaired.

Commercial loans are reported at their outstanding unpaid principal balances reduced by the allowance for loan losses and net of any deferred fees or costs on originated loans, or unamortized premiums or discounts on purchased loans. 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

In accordance with ASU 2010-20, “Receivables (Topic 310): Disclosure about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the 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 ASU 2010-20. This new 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:

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 institution 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:

			Education,
			Government		Commercial		Commercial		Total
(dollars in thousands)	Commercial		& Non-profit		& Industrial		Real Estate		Financing
	Leases		Leases		Loans		Loans		Receivables
As of December 31, 2010:

An ongoing review of all leases and loans ten or more days delinquent is conducted. 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.

The allowance for credit losses is an estimate of probable and assessable losses in the Company’s lease and loan portfolios applying the principles of FASB ASC Topic 450, “Contingencies,” and ASC Topic 310-35, “Loan Impairment.” The net book value of each non-performing or problem lease and loan is evaluated to determine whether the carrying value is less than or equal to the expected recovery anticipated to be derived from lease or loan payments, additional collateral or residual realization. The amount estimated as unrecoverable is recognized as a reserve individually identified for the lease or impaired loan. An analysis of the remaining portfolio is conducted, taking into account recent loss experience, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, levels of delinquencies, adverse situations that may affect customers ability to repay, trends in volume and other factors, including regulatory guidance and current and anticipated economic conditions. This portfolio analysis includes a stratification of the portfolio by the risk classifications and segments set forth above and estimation of potential losses based on risk classification or segment. The composition of the portfolio based on risk ratings is monitored, and changes in the overall risk profile of the portfolio is also factored into the evaluation of inherent risks in the portfolio. Based on the foregoing, an estimated inherent loss not based directly on specific problem assets is recorded as a collective allowance. The Company utilizes similar processes to estimate its liability for unfunded loan commitments, which is included in other liabilities and not in the allowance for credit losses. Lease receivables and loans are charged off when they are deemed completely uncollectible. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.

The following table presents the balance in the allowance for credit losses related to financing receivables and the recorded investment by portfolio class and impairment method utilized in the analysis:

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 time certificates of deposit and qualifying commercial loans. The Bank also has authority to borrow from the Federal Reserve Bank (“FRB”) discount window amounts secured by certain lease receivables. At December 31, 2010, CalFirst Bank had unused borrowing availability of approximately $69.0 million with the FRB and $1.6 million with the FHLB.

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 long-term debt that matures on January 12, 2012 and weighted average interest rates at December 31, 2010 and June 30, 2010 was as follows:

	December 31, 2010			June 30, 2010

CALIFORNIA FIRST NATIONAL BANCORP

ITEM 2.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL

CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

GENERAL

California First National Bancorp, a California corporation, is a bank holding company headquartered in Orange County, California. CalFirst Leasing and CalFirst Bank focus on leasing and financing capital assets through centralized marketing programs designed to offer cost-effective leasing alternatives. 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 unsecured 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, although the increased investment in investment securities with longer maturities has diminished the maturity gap some. 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 result in 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, 2010.

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 of $3.1 million for the second quarter ended December 31, 2010 were unchanged from the second quarter of the prior year. During the second quarter of fiscal 2011, the average investment in commercial loans increased by 41% and contributed to a 75% growth in commercial loan income to $1.7 million. This increase in loan income and higher income from the re-lease or sale of leased property was offset by lower direct finance and investment income and smaller investment gains.

New lease bookings during the second quarter of fiscal 2011 were $69.2 million, 27% ahead of the prior year level and included $27.3 million of lease purchases. Commercial loans booked in the second quarter of fiscal 2011 of $30.7 million were up from $300,000 booked in the second quarter of the prior year and contributed to the total loan and lease assets booked in the quarter increasing 69% to $92.8 million. As a result, the net investment in leases and loans of $333.4 million at December 31, 2010 was up 29% from the balance at June 30, 2010. New direct lease originations for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 were up 10% from the second quarter of the prior year and combined with new loan and lease purchase commitments, total originations more than doubled. For the six months ended December 31, 2010, total originations were up 80% from the same period of the prior year. The backlog of approved lease commitments of $75.6 million is 18% greater than a year ago. In addition, there were loan commitments of $19.8 million at December 31, 2010 related to unfunded commitments on revolving lines of credit.

During the first six months of fiscal 2011, the average investment in commercial loans increased by 25% and contributed to a 54% growth in commercial loan income to $3.0 million. Of the consolidated investment in commercial loans at December 31, 2010, CalFirst Bank holds $100 million, or 93%. During the second quarter ended December 31, 2010, the Bank's primary regulator advised the Bank that the scope and volume of its commercial loan business exceeds the forecast provided in July 2006 and therefore is a deviation from the Bank's business plan approved in September 2006. While the Bank does not agree that it deviated significantly from forecasts submitted to its regulator in 2008 and 2009, the Bank has submitted an updated plan and request for no objection to its continued development of the commercial loan portfolio. As of the date hereof, the Bank has not received the regulator's written determination of no objection to the Bank's revised plan. As a result, the ability of the Bank to continue to expand its commercial loan portfolio is unclear and may be subject to restrictions imposed by its regulator. The Company cannot predict when or how this issue may be resolved, or what if any further action it might take. Of the 28 loans in the Bank's commercial loan portfolio, all are current in their payments to the Bank and all are rated as pass credits, except for three loans that are rated substandard and account for 10% of the portfolio.

Consolidated Statement of Earnings Analysis

Summary -- For the second quarter ended December 31, 2010, net earnings of $3.1 million remained flat compared to the second quarter ended December 31, 2009. For the first six months of fiscal 2011, net earnings of $4.8 million decreased $1.8 million, or 27.0%, compared to the first six months of fiscal 2010. Diluted earnings per share were $0.30 per share for both the second quarter of fiscal 2011 and fiscal 2010. For the six months ended December 31, 2010, diluted earnings per share of $0.46 decreased 27.5%, compared to $0.64 per shared for the same prior year period.

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 investments and interest paid on deposits and 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 $5.7 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2010, a $326,000, or 6.1%, increase compared to the same quarter of the prior year. Total direct finance, loan and interest income for the second quarter ended December 31, 2010 decreased 1.4% to $6.5 million from $6.6 million earned during the second quarter of fiscal 2010. The decrease was primarily due to a $472,000 or 10% decrease in direct finance income due to lower yields together with a 31% decline in investment income due mainly to lower investment balances. These declines were offset by a 75% increase in commercial loan income that reflected a 41% growth in average loan balances and 128 basis point improvement in average yield. During the second quarter of fiscal 2011, interest expense paid on deposits and borrowings decreased by $419,000 or 33% reflecting a 4% decrease in average balances to $231.2 million and a 64 basis point drop in average interest rates paid to 1.50%.

For the six months ended December 31, 2010, net direct finance, loan and interest income was $10.7 million, a $669,000 or 5.9% decrease from the $11.3 million earned during the same period of the prior year. Total direct finance, loan and interest income for the first six months of fiscal 2011 decreased 12.1% to $12.4 million. Direct finance income and investment income declined by $1.7 million and $1.1 million, respectively, which was offset by a $1.1 million increase in commercial loan income. The 18% decrease in direct finance income reflected a 155 basis point drop in average rates to 7.9% and a $3.1 million decrease in average balances to $199.1 million. The 40% decline in investment income reflected a $42.5 million decrease in the average investment in cash and investments to $129.2 million, and a 65 basis point drop in the average yields earned to 2.47%. The 54% increase in commercial loan income for the first six months of fiscal 2011 was the result of a 25% increase in average balances to $90.2 million and a 126 basis point increase in the average yield to 6.7%. For the six months ended December 31, 2010, interest expense on deposits and borrowings decreased by $1.0 million or 37% to $1.8 million, reflecting a 64 basis point decrease in interest rates paid on average balances that decreased by 11% from the year before to $227.1 million.

(1)	Direct finance income and interest expense on discounted lease rentals and non-recourse debt of $10.9 million and $16.3 million at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, offset each other and do not contribute to the Company’s net direct finance and interest income.

(2)	Average balance is based on month-end balances, and includes non-accrual leases, and is presented net of unearned income.

Provision for Credit Losses -- The Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $500,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 2011, compared to a provision of $100,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 2010. For the six-month period ended December 31, 2010, the provision was $775,000 compared to a provision of $350,000 for the same period of the prior fiscal year. The provision for credit losses for both periods in fiscal 2011 related to the growth within the commercial loan and lease portfolios.

Non-interest Income -- Total non-interest income for the quarter ended December 31, 2010 increased by $90,000, or 3.3%, to $2.8 million, compared to $2.7 million for the same quarter of the prior fiscal year. Included in non-interest income during the second quarter of fiscal 2011 was a $761,000 increase in income realized from the sale or re-lease of property on leases reaching the end of term. This increase was offset by a $570,000 reduction in gains realized on the sale of certain investment securities and a $70,000 decline in gains realized on the sale of leases.

For the six months ended December 31, 2010, total non-interest income of $3.8 million decreased 30.1% from $5.4 million for the six months ended December 31, 2009. The decrease was due to a $2.0 million decline in gains realized on the sale of investment securities to $1.4 million. Excluding investment gains, other income for the first six months increased 20% to $2.4 million, and included a $653,000 increase in income realized on leases reaching the end of term that was offset by lower gains from the sale of leases.

Non-interest Expense – During the second quarter of fiscal 2011, non-interest expense of $3.0 million was 1% lower than the second quarter of fiscal 2011. Non-interest expense of $6.0 million for the first six months of fiscal 2011 was up 2% from the $5.8 million for the first six months of fiscal 2010. The second quarter of fiscal 2011 benefited from slightly lower compensation expense, which offset slight increases that were seen in the first quarter.

Taxes – Income taxes were accrued at a tax rate of 38.25% for the first quarter ended and six months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 representing the estimated annual tax rate for the fiscal years ending June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Financial Condition Analysis

Consolidated total assets at December 31, 2010 of $468.9 million were up 3.4% from $453.6 million at June 30, 2010. The change in total assets includes a $42.9 million increase in the commercial loan portfolio to $108.3 million, a $32.7 million increase in the net investment in leases to $225.1 million, offset by an $18.2 million decrease in available for sale investment securities to $53.7 million, a $9.0 million decrease in property acquired for transaction-in-process to $17.9 million and a $30.7 million decrease in cash and cash equivalents to $43.3 million.

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 six months ended December 31, 2010, approximately 99% of the total dollar amount of new leases booked by the Company were held in its own portfolios, compared to 78% during the first six months of fiscal 2010. The $32.7 million increase in the Company’s net investment in leases at December 31, 2010 includes a $31.3 million increase in the investment in lease receivables and an increase of $1.4 million in the estimated residual values. The $42.9 million growth in the Company’s commercial loan portfolio reflected the addition of new commercial loan participations of $68.2 million that were offset by loan payoffs or repayments aggregating to $25.3 million.

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 December 31, 2010, the Company’s investment in property acquired for transactions in process of $17.9 million related to approximately $69.7 million of approved lease commitments. This investment in transactions in process decreased $9.0 million from $26.8 million at June 30, 2010, which related to direct lease commitments of $85.5 million, and was up from $6.9 million at December 31 2009, which related to direct lease commitments of $63.9 million. In addition to the direct lease commitments, the Company had unfunded lease purchase commitments of $5.9 million and commitments related to unused lines of credit of $19.8 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.

	December 31, 2010			June 30, 2010
Non-performing Leases and Loans	(dollars in thousands)
Non-accrual leases (including residual)	$	770		$	789
Restructured leases and loans		7,918			8,150
Leases past due 90 days (other than above, including residual)		-			411
Total non-performing capital leases and loans	$	8,688		$	9,350
Non-performing assets as % of net investment
in leases and loans before allowances		2.6	%		3.6	%

The decline in non-performing leases and loans at December 31, 2010 from June 30, 2010 is primarily due to all accrual leases being current with their payments. The restructured lease and loan balance for both periods includes a loan and lease with one customer with an aggregate balance of approximately $7.9 million. This relationship was current with its restructured payments at December 31, 2010 and the transactions remain on an accrual basis. In addition to the non-performing leases and loans identified above, there was $8.6 million of investment in leases and loans at December 31, 2010 classified as substandard or with credits that currently are experiencing financial difficulties or that management believes may experience financial difficulties in the future. 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.

Allowance for credit losses as a percent of net investment
in leases and loans before allowances		1.6	%		1.8	%
Allowance for credit losses as a percent of net investment in “risk assets”		1.5	%		1.8	%

The allowance for credit losses increased $811,000 to $5.9 million (1.6% of net investment in leases and loans before allowances) at December 31, 2010 from $4.5 million (1.7% of net investment in leases and loans before allowances) at June 30, 2010. This allowance consisted of $1.3 million allocated to specific accounts that were identified as problems and $3.7 million that was available to cover losses inherent in the portfolio. This compared to $1.0 million allocated to specific accounts at June 30, 2010 and $3.4 million available for losses inherent in the portfolio at that time. The increase in the specific allowance at December 31, 2010 primarily relates to the addition of specifically identified substandard leases. The Company considers the allowance for credit losses of $5.9 million at December 31, 2010 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 available-for-sale investment securities were $50.0 million as of December 31,2010, compared with $68.0 million at June 30, 2010. The amortized cost and fair value of the Company’s securities portfolio available-for-sale at December 31, 2010 and June 30, 2010 are as follows:

	As of December 31, 2010				As of June 30, 2010
(in thousands)	Amortized		Fair		Amortized		Fair
	Cost		Value		Cost		Value
Available-for-sale
Corporate bonds	$	43,963	$	46,277	$	50,910	$	53,529
U.S. Treasury securities		-		-		10,147		11,086

Equity investment		422		463		-		-
Total securities available-for-sale	$	47,087	$	49,985	$	63,759	$	67,954

During the first six months of fiscal 2011, the Company’s portfolio of securities available-for-sale declined $18.0 million primarily due to the sale of U.S. Treasury securities and the early call of two corporate bonds. At December 31, 2010, the securities portfolio included an unrealized pre-tax gain of $2.9 million compared to a $4.2 million unrealized pre-tax gain at June 30, 2010. The weighted average maturity was 1.8 years and the corresponding weighted average yield was 5.83 percent at December 31, 2010.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company funds its operating activities through internally generated funds, bank deposits, borrowings and non-recourse debt. At December 31, 2010 and June 30, 2010, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents were $43.3 million and $74.0 million, respectively. Stockholders’ equity at December 31, 2010 was $192.8 million, or 41.1% of total assets, compared to $198.5 million, or 43.8% of total assets, at June 30, 2010. At December 31, 2010, 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 $225.5 million at December 31, 2010, compared to $212.7 million at December 31, 2009 and $205.9 million at June 30, 2010. The $12.8 million increase from December 31, 2009 was used to fund leases, and loans, as well as maintain liquidity at the Bank. The following table presents average balances and average rates paid on deposits for the six months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009:

	Six months ended December 31,

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 December 31, 2010, classified as long-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, time certificates of deposit and qualifying commercial loans, with $1.6 million available under the agreement as of December 31, 2010. 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 December 31, 2010, with the unused borrowing availability at approximately $69.0 million. 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 December 31, 2010, the Company had outstanding non-recourse debt aggregating $10.9 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 December 31, 2010, 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, 2011. The agreement is unsecured, however, the Company guarantees CalFirst Leasing’s obligations. No borrowings have been made under this line of credit as of December 31, 2010.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

The following table summarizes various contractual obligations as of December 31, 2010. 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.

	Due by Period
			Less Than				After
Contractual Obligations	Total		1 Year		1-5 Years		5 Years
	(dollars in thousands)

(1)	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.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

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 December 31, 2010, the Company had $47.0 million of cash or invested in securities of very short duration. The Company’s investment in gross lease payments receivable and commercial loans of $362.9 million consists of leases with fixed rates and loans with variable rates, however, $207.7 million of such investment is due within one year of December 31, 2010. Of the $53.7 million investment in securities, $15.5 million mature within twelve months. This compares to interest bearing deposit liabilities and FHLB and FRB borrowings of $235.5 million, of which $186.6 million mature within one year. Based on the foregoing, at December 31, 2010 the Company had assets of $266.9 million subject to changes in interest rates over the next twelve months, compared to repricing liabilities of $186.6 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 December 31, 2010 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, including the protection provided by interest rate floors incorporated into a number of commercial loans. 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.
