ESCONDIDO, Calif. -- California Community Bank (OTCBB:CABK), today reported that the Bank has closed its secondary offering to raise additional capital and that the company's $12 million offering at $15.00 per share was over-subscribed, generating $13 million of new capital for the institution. The Bank employed Seapower Carpenter Capital, Inc., an affiliate of Carpenter & Company, to assist with the capital raising. The company will issue 867,709 new shares as a result of the offering and will now have total equity in excess of $21 million.

Larry D. Hartwig, President and CEO commented, "We had our first fundraising meeting on August 24 and we first solicited our existing shareholders to be sure they had every opportunity to avoid dilution. Our Board and Management are extremely pleased with the response both from existing shareholders and the market in general. We clearly achieved our goal to broaden and diversify our shareholder base while remaining the only locally controlled and operated small community bank headquartered in central Escondido. The offering was a great success no matter how you measure it. All of this gives us the opportunity to grow organically and to increase the size of our geographic footprint in San Diego County."

California Community Bank recently reported outstanding third quarter 2005 performance, continuing to grow the business and posting its first quarterly net profit. Net profit was $109 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2005, and total assets were $91.6 million at the end of the quarter.
