Vineyard National Bancorp Reports Results of Operations for the Second Quarter 2008

CORONA, CA–(EMWNews – August 6, 2008) – Vineyard National Bancorp (the “company”)

(NASDAQ: VNBC), parent company of Vineyard Bank, N.A. (“Vineyard”) and

other subsidiaries today reported a loss for the quarter ended June 30,

2008 of $62.5 million, or $6.46 per common share, compared with net

earnings of $6.0 million, or $0.53 per diluted common share, for the

quarter ended June 30, 2007. The net loss for the second quarter of 2008

was due primarily to $40.5 million of provision for loan losses,

principally associated with Vineyard’s land and single family residential

(“SFR”) tract construction loans originated between 2005 and 2007, and a

tax provision of $20.3 million resulting primarily from the creation of a

valuation allowance on the company’s deferred tax asset.

James LeSieur, interim chief executive officer, stated, “Despite the

current economic environment and additional challenges arising in the

second quarter, Vineyard continues to make significant strides toward the

resolution of our asset quality issues and the implementation of other risk

mitigation measures. Payoffs of our luxury home construction loans, loan

sales and the sale of other real estate owned properties have made positive

contributions. We continue to work diligently to maintain core deposit

relationships and have been successful in attracting new deposits.

Management remains committed to executing the strategies necessary to

reduce risk, fulfill the requirements established with our regulators, and

meet our internal objectives. Therefore, although there are still

significant challenges, Vineyard is starting to see positive results from

the strategies that have been put in place.”

Liquidity

Effective April 21, 2008, the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) reduced

Vineyard’s borrowing capacity from 40% to 30% of Vineyard’s total assets.

However, the reduction had limited impact as Vineyard’s borrowing

availability was already limited to the amount of eligible collateral that

can be pledged to secure that borrowing facility. At June 30, 2008, based

on its eligible pledged loan and investment collateral, that availability

was $289.4 million of which $155.0 million was outstanding. Therefore,

Vineyard had a remaining borrowing availability of $134.4 million.

On July 24, 2008, Vineyard borrowed $126.0 million from the FHLB,

consisting of four $31.5 million advances with terms ranging from 9 months

to 1 year. As a result of these term borrowings, Vineyard had a remaining

borrowing availability of $2.2 million available against its loan and

investment collateral pledged at the FHLB. The proceeds from the FHLB

advances were invested in federal funds sold for liquidity needs. At July

24, 2008 Vineyard had an aggregate of $178.0 million invested in federal

funds sold.

On August 1, 2008, Vineyard entered into an intercreditor agreement with

the FHLB and Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco (“FRB”) establishing a

borrowing facility under the FRB Discount Window program whereby certain

eligible loans pledged to the FRB, and approved by the FHLB, may be used to

support any advances from the FRB Discount Window.

Vineyard currently has no unsecured correspondent banking facilities with

borrowing availability.

As a result of the issuance of the Consent Order by the Office of the

Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”) on July 22, 2008, Vineyard will no

longer be able to accept, renew or rollover brokered deposits unless and

until such time as we receive a waiver from the FDIC. Vineyard has

requested a waiver from the FDIC, but there can be no assurance that such a

waiver will be granted, or granted on the terms requested.

2008 Operating Objectives

As disclosed previously, the company has established the following five

primary objectives as a basis to reduce risk, refocus on core operations

and reposition the company to achieve the long-term success of the

franchise:


1) Reduce the Overall Risk Profile of the company. This objective includes

   the significant reduction of SFR tract construction lending and related

   land development projects, enhanced borrower sponsorship requirements,

   increased and expanded core deposit growth, business and commercial

   real estate lending in supportive sub-markets, and enhanced balance

   sheet management;



2) Loan Portfolio Management.  In order to produce a base of stabilized

   long-term earnings, the company will seek to proactively rebalance the

   existing loan portfolio and diversify new business generation to reduce

   its risk profile, meet its targeted concentration ranges within

   sub-markets and sub-portfolios, and maintain an overall portfolio yield

   consistent with quality and sustainable returns;



3) Liquidity Enhancement and Funding Cost Reduction. The company will seek

   to reduce its funding costs by an intensified focus on lower cost core

   deposits, cash management driven business relationships, the effective

   repricing of its time deposit portfolio in a decreasing interest rate

   environment, and reduction of its reliance on higher costing

   liabilities;



4) Corporate Reallocation and Reorganization. To improve its operating

   efficiencies, the company will continually review its resource

   allocation to ensure the optimum allocation of talent among functions.

   The company seeks to continue to deploy and redeploy resources, both

   personnel and other operating costs, toward achievement of our

   objectives; and



5) Protection and Preservation of Capital.  The company will focus on

   protecting and preserving capital. Income from Vineyard, in the long

   term, is expected to be a contributor to increasing capital and

   accretive to the company's risk based capital ratios. In light of

   current economic conditions and to address the deterioration in the

   loan portfolio, the company has significantly curtailed new loan

   generation, which combined with loan sales and repayments may make

   additional capital available. In addition, in order to address the

   financial impact of the abrupt and severe decline in real estate values

   and the potential continuing deterioration in the loan portfolio, the

   company will also pursue strategic alternatives, which may include a

   significant capital raise, to strengthen its capital.

Balance Sheet

As part of the operating objectives described above, the company

implemented actions to manage its loan production levels resulting in a net

contraction of its balance sheet during the first half of 2008. The

company compressed its balance sheet by $118.8 million during the six

months ended June 30, 2008, or 5%, from $2.5 billion at December 31, 2007

to $2.4 billion at June 30, 2008. During the six months ended June 30,

2008, Vineyard decreased its loan balance, including loans held-for-sale,

by $169.8 million. This loan balance decrease was comprised primarily of

$413.3 million in loan payoffs and paydowns, $64.1 million of net

charge-offs and $31.0 million of net loan sales, offset by $338.2 million

in disbursements on new and existing loan commitments.

Following its exit from the tract lending business, the company continues

to work to reduce its existing portfolio exposure in the tract construction

market. At June 30, 2008, Vineyard’s outstanding tract construction loans,

including those SFR tract loans held for sale, totaled $105.3 million, a

decrease of $24.7 million, or 19.0% since March 31, 2008. This second

quarter 2008 decrease was primarily related to the charge-off of $21.5

million of tract construction loans, and $12.1 million of principal

paydowns and payoffs, net of $7.9 million of disbursements on existing

loans. Unfunded commitments for the tract construction portfolio totaled

$15.3 million at June 30, 2008, a decrease of $17.1 million, or 52.7%, from

March 31, 2008.

The company had a net increase of $146.4 million in deposits during the

second quarter of 2008, related primarily to an increase in time deposit

accounts, of which $266.3 million came from brokered CDs. There was also a

$5.0 million increase in exchange balances, which are 1031 exchange

balances associated with 1031 Exchange Advantage, Inc. and 1031 Funding &

Reverse Corp. (collectively, the “exchange companies”). As a result of the

increase in funding deposits and loan paydowns, the company decreased its

FHLB borrowings from $227.0 million at March 31, 2008 to $155.0 million at

June 30, 2008.

Asset Quality

Non-accrual loans

During the second quarter of 2008, non-accrual loans increased to $192.6

million at June 30, 2008 from its $105.2 million level at March 31, 2008.

The increase is principally associated with loans originated between 2005

and 2007. Of the balance of non-accrual loans at June 30, 2008, $12.3

million relates to commercial real estate construction loans, $39.7 million

relates to land loans, $56.1 million relates to luxury construction loans

and $73.5 relates to SFR tract construction loans. The company had a loss

of $3.4 million of interest income associated with new non-accrual loans in

the second quarter of 2008. Loans are placed on non-accrual status if

there is reasonable doubt as to the collectability of principal and

interest in accordance with the original credit terms.

                        ============ ============ ============ ============

Charged-off loans

During the quarter ended June 30, 2008, the company recorded $36.5 million

in net charge-offs, which equates to 1.79% of average gross loans for the

quarter. Of the charge-offs, $21.5 million relate to tract construction

loans and $13.1 million relate to land loans.

Other Real Estate Owned

During the second quarter of 2008, other real estate owned (“OREO”), which

consists of properties obtained through foreclosure, decreased from $12.6

million to $6.2 million.

The decrease is due primarily to the tract land project, which encompassed

one hundred finished residential lots in a 1,788 unit planned development

project within the Temecula Valley region of southern California, sold

during the second quarter of 2008 at its then book value of $6.1 million

resulting in no further loss.

The balance of OREO at June 30, 2008 includes $1.1 million in a SFR tract

construction loan and $0.4 million in a SBA loan, which was transferred to

OREO at the end of second quarter of 2008, and $4.6 million in a SFR

tract construction loan which was transferred to OREO in the fourth quarter

of 2007. That OREO was written down further by $0.6 million during the

second quarter of 2008.

The company is actively pursuing disposition of the foreclosed assets.

Deferred Tax Asset

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax

consequences of the difference between the carrying amount of assets and

liabilities and their respective tax bases, as well as operating loss and

tax credit carry forwards. A valuation allowance is established against

deferred tax assets when, in the judgment of management, it is more likely

than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be

realized.

During the second quarter of 2008, the company provided a full valuation

allowance against its deferred tax asset, due to uncertainty related to its

eventual realizability. The ultimate realizability of the deferred tax

asset is dependent upon the Company’s ability to derive benefits for the

tax deductions inherent in the deferred tax asset by getting refunds for

taxes paid in the past or by reducing future tax obligations. Accordingly,

management’s judgments regarding the nature of future reversals of existing

temporary differences, future taxable income and available tax planning

strategies impact the degree to which a valuation allowance is determined

to be necessary. These judgments are based in part on factors that may or

may not be entirely within the control of management, such as judgments

regarding future economic conditions and changes within the business

environment in which we operate. Depending on how these factors change in

the future, management’s judgment regarding the need for a valuation

allowance against its deferred tax asset could change.

Current Tax Receivable

As of June 30, 2008, we had a current net income tax receivable of $23.8

million primarily reflecting the impact of utilizing net operating losses

generated during the current year to reduce our tax liabilities in prior

tax years. Any remaining net operating losses generated in the current

year, which would expire in 2028, remain available to offset future taxable

income. The utilization of these net operating loss carryforwards to

offset future taxable income could have a positive impact on our future net

income by reducing the amount of income taxes recognized in our

consolidated statements of operations.

Extension of Maturity Date and Subsequent Default on Line of Credit

As previously disclosed, the company and First Tennessee Bank, National

Association (“First Tennessee”) entered into the Fourth Modification and

Covenant Waiver Agreement (the “Agreement”) on July 1, 2008 which, among

other things, extended the maturity date of the company’s line of credit

from First Tennessee from June 30, 2008 to August 29, 2008 at an annual

interest rate of LIBOR plus 3.50%, and granted and/or extended the waiver

by First Tennessee of certain financial and other covenant failures of the

company through August 29, 2008. The outstanding balance of the line of

credit, which is secured by 100% of Vineyard’s common stock, was $48.3

million at June 30, 2008. The company paid First Tennessee a lender fee

equal to 0.25% of the outstanding balance of the line of credit, or $0.1

million, in connection with the Agreement.

Also as previously disclosed, the company notified First Tennessee on July

24, 2008 of, and requested a waiver with respect to, an event of default

under the line of credit which occurred by virtue of the Consent Order that

was issued by the OCC on July 22, 2008. As a result, unless First

Tennessee subsequently waives this event of default, First Tennessee will

be entitled to accelerate the maturity date of the line of credit and

otherwise exercise its rights as a secured party against the collateral to

collect, enforce or satisfy the obligations under the line of credit.

Results of Operations

For the quarter ended June 30, 2008, gross loan interest income was $34.9

million, a decrease of $9.6 million, or 22% as compared to the same period

in 2007. The effective yield of the loan portfolio in the second quarter of

2008 was 6.9%, as compared to 8.8% for the same period in 2007. The

increase in non-accrual loans negatively impacted our gross interest income

and loan yield due to $3.4 million of interest income lost associated with

new non-accrual loans in the second quarter. Had all existing non-accrual

loans performed during the second quarter of 2008, interest income would

have been greater by $9.8 million.

Total net revenues (net interest income plus other operating income) for

the quarter ended June 30, 2008 were $17.8 million, a decrease of $7.0

million, or 28%, as compared to the same period in 2007.

These results of operations produced a net interest margin of 3.14% for the

second quarter of 2008, as compared to 4.13% for the same period in 2007

and 3.47% for the first quarter of 2008.

Total operating expenses for the quarter-ended June 30, 2008 were $19.5

million, as compared to $14.2 million for the same period in 2007. The

increase from 2007 is primarily attributable to additional professional

services fees of approximately $3.5 million which include audit and legal

expenses and approximately $2.0 million in the write down of assets

including Goodwill.

Capital Resources

At June 30, 2008, stockholders’ equity of the company totaled $29.5

million, a decrease of $83.5 million, or 74% as compared to December 31,

2007. In addition, the company’s Tier 1 Risk-Based and Leverage capital

ratios of 1.52% and 1.43%, respectively, were below the minimum regulatory

ratio requirement of 4.0%. Management is currently addressing capital

concerns at the company and is actively pursuing strategic alternatives for

raising capital. The company also expects to enter into an agreement with

the FRB to address the capital needs of the company as well as other risk

management and operational matters.

Despite the impact of the additional provision and charge-offs, Vineyard

has $186.4 million in common equity and was mathematically considered to be

“well capitalized” at June 30, 2008. At June 30, 2008, Vineyard’s Tier 1

Risk-Based and Leverage capital ratios were 8.76% and 8.28%, respectively,

as compared to the “well capitalized” minimum ratios of 6.0% and 5.0%,

respectively. It is intended that the continued effort to strategically

contract assets will assist in bolstering Vineyard’s capital.

By virtue of the Consent Order that was issued by the OCC on July 22, 2008,

Vineyard is now classified as “adequately capitalized” notwithstanding the

fact that its actual capital ratios at June 30, 2008 met the criteria for

being considered “well capitalized.”

Payment of Dividends

The company’s ability to pay cash dividends is limited by California law.

With certain exceptions, a California corporation may not pay a dividend to

its shareholders unless (i) its retained earnings equal at least the amount

of the proposed dividend, or (ii) after giving effect to the dividend, the

corporation’s assets would equal at least 1.25 times its liabilities and,

for corporations with classified balance sheets, the current assets of the

corporation would be at least equal to its current liabilities or, if the

average of the earnings of the corporation before taxes on income and

before interest expense for the two preceding fiscal years was less than

the average of the interest expense of the corporation for those fiscal

years, at least equal to 1.25 times its current liabilities.

At June 30, 2008, the company had an accumulated deficit of $81.2 million

and did not otherwise satisfy the minimum asset to liability ratios for

paying dividends under California law. As a result, the company is legally

prohibited from paying dividends on both its common stock and preferred

stock. The company expects that it will be legally prohibited from paying

dividends on both its common stock and preferred stock for the foreseeable

future.

In addition, the company’s primary regulator, the FRB, on May 16, 2008,

advised the company that in light of the company’s obligation to serve as a

source of financial and managerial strength to Vineyard, the company may

not make payments to third parties, without prior approval from the FRB,

including, without limitation, dividend payments to the holders of its

common stock and preferred stock.
