Vineyard National Bancorp Reports Revised Results of Operations for the Quarter

and Year Ended 2007 and Results for the First Quarter 2008

Corona, California, May 1, 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 March 31, 2008 of $16.6 million, or $1.77 per common share, compared with net earnings of $5.5 million, or $0.48 per common share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2007. The net loss for the first quarter of 2008 was due primarily to $26.9 million of provision for loan losses, principally associated with Vineyard’s construction loans originated between 2005 and 2007. The company also reported revised results for the quarter and the year ended December 31, 2007 of a net loss of $57.0 million, or $5.64 per common share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2007, and a net loss of $40.0 million, or $3.96 per common share, for the year ended December 31, 2007. The company’s audit for the year ended December 31, 2007 is not yet complete. These numbers are not audited, and there could be further changes upon completion of the audit.

On January 30, 2008, the company had announced a fourth quarter 2007 net loss of $41.3 million and a net loss for the year of $24.4 million. Since that date, the company has obtained updated appraisals and additional data which indicate further declines in loan values at year end than that which earlier data had indicated. These declines are primarily related to the tract and related land loan portfolios. The company has also completed a review of its current methodology for determining an adequate allowance for loan losses. Based upon the abrupt and severe declines in real estate values reflected in the data, the company has added $26.5 million of provision for loan losses and has charged off an additional $4.5 million of tract construction loans for the fourth quarter of 2007. The increase in provision for loan losses, net of tax, increased the company’s fourth quarter 2007 consolidated net loss to $57.0 million, or $5.64 per common share.

The allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2007 totaled $48.8 million, and net charge-offs for the year ended December 31, 2007 equaled $9.2 million. The balance of non-performing loans at December 31, 2007 was $75.4 million.

As previously reported, the company incurred a fourth quarter 2007 non-cash charge of $40.8 million for the write-off of goodwill. As shown below, when this one time charge is excluded from expenses, the company’s results reflected net operating earnings of $0.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2007, as compared to the actual net loss of $40.0 million.

2008 Operating Objectives

As disclosed previously, the company has established the following four primary objectives as a basis to reduce risk, refocus on core operations and reposition the company in the current operating environment to achieve the long-term success of its franchise:

Reduce the Overall Risk Profile of the company: This objective includes the significant reduction of single family residential tract construction lending and related land development projects, enhanced borrower sponsorship requirements, increased and expanded core deposit growth, expanded business and commercial real estate lending in supportive sub-markets, and enhanced balance sheet management;

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 pursue new and diversified 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;

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; and

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 its objectives.

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 quarter of 2008. Overall, the company compressed its balance sheet by $128.7 million, or 5%, during the first quarter of 2008, from $2.5 billion at December 31, 2007 to $2.4 billion at March 31, 2008. Of this strategic contraction, $45.9 million relates to loans, including loans held-for-sale. During the first quarter of 2008, this loan balance decrease was comprised primarily of $199.4 million in loan payoffs or principal paydowns, $27.5 million of net charge-offs and $9.5 million of net loan sales, offset by $190.5 million in disbursements on new and existing loan commitments.

As discussed above, the company is reducing its exposure in the tract construction market. As of December 31, 2007, Vineyard had $146.6 million of tract construction loans outstanding and $57.2 million of unfunded tract construction loan commitments. At March 31, 2008, Vineyard’s outstanding tract construction loans totaled $130.0 million, a decrease of $16.6 million or 11.3% since December 31, 2007, and its unfunded commitments for the tract construction portfolio totaled $32.4 million, a decrease of $24.9 million, or 43.5% from December 31, 2007. While $21.3 million of the loan balance decrease resulted from the charge-off of tract construction loans, there were $7.1 million of principal paydowns and payoffs associated with this portfolio during the first quarter of 2008.

The company continues to focus on the previously stated objectives of its 2008 strategic plan, which called for the reduction of the company’s overall risk profile, including a significant reduction of the tract construction loan portfolio, and a focus on loan portfolio management, which called for a rebalancing of the existing loan portfolio to produce a base of stabilized long-term earnings.

Commensurate with the company’s asset contraction, there was a $136.8 million decrease in deposits during the first quarter of 2008, related primarily to a decline in money market deposit accounts. There was also a $29.4 million decrease in exchange balances, which are 1031 exchange balances associated with 1031 Exchange Advantage, Inc. and 1031 Funding & Reverse Corp. (collectively, the “exchange companies”), the company’s consolidated subsidiaries. As a result of the decline in funding deposits, the company increased its FHLB borrowings from $175.0 million at December 31, 2007 to $227.0 million at March 31, 2008.

Asset Quality

Non-accrual loans

During the first quarter of 2008, the company placed $49.4 million of loans on non-accrual status, increasing the balance of non-accrual loans to $105.2 million at March 31, 2008 from its $75.4 million level at December 31, 2007. Of the increase in non-accrual loans, $37.9 million relates to tract construction loans, $3.2 million relates to land loans and $2.6 million relates to luxury construction loans. The loss of previously accrued interest income associated with these new non-accrual loans totaled $1.1 million in the first 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 March 31, 2008, the company recorded $27.5 million in net charge-offs, which equates to 1.29% of average gross loans for the quarter. Of the charge-offs, $21.3 million relate to tract construction loans and $4.7 million relate to land loans. Of the loans charged-off during the first quarter 2008, $11.5 million were on non-accrual status at December 31, 2007.

Other Real Estate Owned

During the first quarter 2008, other real estate owned (“OREO”), which consists of properties obtained through foreclosure, decreased from $17.4 million to $12.6 million. The decrease was primarily related to a $3.7 million OREO write-down and $1.1 million of paydowns from OREO sales. There were no new OREO properties in the first quarter of 2008.

The balance of OREO at March 31, 2008 includes $5.9 million in two tract loans which were transferred to OREO in the fourth quarter of 2007, a $0.6 million (net of $0.6 million in sales proceeds) SBA-guaranteed loan which was transferred to OREO in the third quarter of 2007, and a $6.1 million (net of a $5.6 million write-down) tract development land loan which was foreclosed upon in the second quarter of 2007.

The $3.7 million OREO write-down relates primarily to the tract development land foreclosure, which encompassed one hundred finished residential lots in a 1,788 unit planned development project within the Temecula Valley region of southern California. The property was sold subsequent to March 31, 2008 for net proceeds of $6.1 million with no further loss. The company is actively pursuing disposition of the remaining foreclosed assets.

Results of Operations

As previously stated, the company recorded a net loss of $16.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008, as compared to net income of $5.5 million in the same quarter in 2007. The net loss in the first quarter of 2008 is mainly attributable to a provision for loan losses of $26.9 million. These results of operations produced a net interest margin of 3.47% for the first quarter of 2008, as compared to 4.18% for the same period in 2007 and 3.91% for the fourth quarter of 2007.

For the quarter-ended March 31, 2008, gross loan interest income was $40.5 million, a decrease of $1.7 million, or 4% as compared to the same period in 2007. The effective yield of the loan portfolio in the first quarter 2008 was 7.6%, as compared to 8.8% for the same period in 2007. The increase in non-accrual loans negatively impacted our loan yield due to the $1.1 million of interest reversal during the first quarter of 2008.

Total net revenues (net interest income plus other operating income) for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 were $20.3 million, a decrease of $3.4 million, or 14% as compared to the same period in 2007.

Total operating expenses for the quarter-ended March 31, 2008 were $21.2 million, as compared to $13.1 million for the same period in 2007. The increase from 2007 is primarily attributable to 1) approximately $1.7 million related to the year-end audit and legal expenses, 2) the $3.7 million write-down of other real estate owned and 3) $1.5 million in separation costs to the company’s former chief executive officer who resigned in January 2008.

Jim LeSieur, interim chief executive officer, stated, “Although we are disappointed with the overall results, we have made significant progress in identifying asset quality issues and making objective assessments of the financial impact of those problems. The Board of Directors and our management team are committed to taking all necessary actions to continue to reduce the company’s overall risk profile, strengthen its capital base and return the company to sustainable profitability as quickly as possible. We made a significant step in achieving those objectives by having a realistic evaluation of the challenges we need to overcome.”

Capital Resources

At March 31, 2008, stockholders’ equity of the company totaled $92.9 million, a decrease of $20.1 million, or 18% as compared to December 31, 2007. The company’s net book value per share of its common stock decreased from $8.10 at December 31, 2007 to $6.34 per share at March 31, 2008. This was principally caused by the company’s net loss for the first quarter of 2008. In addition, the company’s Tier 1 Risk-Based and Leverage capital ratios of 5.1% and 5.0%, respectively, exceeded the minimum regulatory ratio requirement of 4.0%.

Despite the impact of the additional provision and charge-offs, Vineyard was considered to be “Well Capitalized” at March 31, 2008, and it is intended that the strategic contraction of assets will assist in the preservation of Vineyard’s capital. At March 31, 2008, Vineyard’s Tier 1 Risk-Based and Leverage capital ratios were 10.0% and 9.8%, respectively, far in excess of the “Well Capitalized” minimum ratios of 6.0% and 5.0%, respectively.

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 March 31, 2008, the company had an accumulated deficit of $23.4 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.

Strategic Capital Activities

In order to address the financial impact of the abrupt and severe decline in real estate values and the consequent increase in the company’s provision for loan losses, the company has engaged financial advisors to explore strategic alternatives, including potential significant capital raises. The company has engaged in preliminary discussions with a limited number of parties concerning possible transactions which would infuse significant additional capital into the company, and the company currently remains in discussions with one of those parties.

Update on Timing of Filing of the Annual Report on Form 10-K

The company continues to be delayed in the filing of its Annual Report on Form 10-K. The delay relates primarily to an investigation by the company’s Audit Committee regarding the nature, scope and circumstances of certain internal violations of security policies, procedures and controls of the information technology function (“IT Review”) and the impact of those violations on the company’s internal control functions.

In addition to the IT Review, the company also completed an extended evaluation of Vineyard’s allowance for loan loss methodology and related matters (the “ALL Review”). Though unaudited, the results of the company’s ALL Review are reflected in the financial statements included in this release. The company does not expect the IT Review to have an impact on the company’s financial statements.

Upon filing of the Annual Report on Form 10-K, the company intends to schedule a conference call and webcast to discuss the company’s results of operations and to answer questions from analysts, investors, and shareholders.

The company is a $2.4 billion financial holding company headquartered in Corona and the parent company of Vineyard and the exchange companies. Vineyard, also headquartered in Corona, operates through sixteen full-service banking centers and four regional financial centers in the counties of Los Angeles, Marin, Monterey, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego, Santa Clara and Ventura, Calif.
