When Bank of San Francisco opened in August 2005, we were proud to be the first new community bank to emerge in "The City" in almost 20 years.

The bank's mission is to provide exceptional business and personal banking services to clients throughout the Bay Area. We're a team of veteran San Francisco bankers. In fact, many of us have worked together for nearly 25 years. Reflecting the confidence we have in our capabilities and the belief we have in the bank's core values and mission, each founding employee is a shareholder.

We have spent our first months converting past professional relationships into Bank of San Francisco clients and in developing new business and personal banking prospects. In line with this, we are pleased to announce that an internationally-renowned consulting firm, with offices in four countries, clients on six continents and billings in foreign currencies, recently became our client. That firm's decision to move its business to our bank was based on critical factors, particularly its having access to the bank's decision-makers. Its executives work with our team of highly experienced bankers who have the depth of knowledge to understand the complexities of the firm's business. Our bank has the broad product capabilities to handle the global needs of the company, as well as the personal banking and real estate financing needs of its San Francisco partners. The firm represents an excellent example of the profile of our target client base.

Our board members, investors, clients and referral network have been instrumental in helping us lay a strong foundation for solid growth in 2006 and for years to come. We are excited by the challenges and confident in the results.
