Explanatory Note:

San Joaquin Bancorp (the “Company”) is filing this Current Report on Form 8-K/A to amend its Current Report on Form 8-K originally filed on July 22, 2009 to clarify item 4.02 and provide therein information regarding the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting. An inadvertent mistake in Exhibit 99.1 has also been corrected.

Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On July 20, 2009, the Company entered into stock purchase agreements with the following individuals: Gurpreetinder Singh, Ashok Kumar, Prem Chand, Vijay K. Gupta, Kewal Krishan Garg, Gurmail Singh, Girdhari Lal, Niranjan Singh Sra, Dr. Sham Lal Goyal, Ms. Usha Rani Sood, and Mjr. Surinder Singh (together the “Investors”). The agreements provide that the Company will issue and the Investors will purchase, pursuant to a private placement, 8,137,250 newly issued shares of common stock (“Shares”) at $4.68 per share. The obligations of each Investor under the agreements are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Investor. Upon issuance and sale of all of the Shares as currently contemplated by the parties, gross proceeds of approximately $38 million dollars are expected to be raised. The agreements provide that an initial closing will occur on July 31, 2009 or as soon as possible after that date.

Under the agreements, each Investor has the right to elect prior to the initial closing to purchase at least one quarter of their subscribed for Shares at the initial closing provided they irrevocably commit to purchase the balance of their subscribed for Shares at no more than three additional closings, to be held at ninety (90) day intervals or other dates mutually agreed upon by the parties. Any Investor electing to divide their subscription into more than one closing must purchase no less than one quarter of their subscribed for Shares at the second closing and, if necessary, the third closing. The obligations of the parties are subject to customary closing conditions including compliance with applicable state and federal banking laws and the internal laws of India, which is the principal domicile of the above named Investors. If all of the Shares are issued on the basis contemplated under the agreements, the Investors would, in the aggregate, own approximately sixty-two (62%) percent of the Company’s outstanding shares, based upon shares outstanding at June 30, 2009. However, based on information and representations provided to the Company by the Investors, none of the Investors (along with members of each Investor’s immediate family) is expected to individually own more than 8% of the Company’s outstanding shares.

The agreements further provide that the Company is permitted, on a contemporaneous basis, to enter into and consummate other alternative investment proposals if prior to consummation of the second closing the board of directors determines, after consultations with its outside counsel and a financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation, that the transactions contemplated pursuant to the stock purchase agreements and any alternative proposal should, in the exercise of the board’s reasonable judgment, both be pursued and consummated (or attempted to be consummated). Under this circumstance, the Company may pursue any such alternative proposal without terminating or altering the Investors’ obligation to purchase the Shares as contemplated under the agreements.

In addition to the Company’s right to pursue alternative proposals on a contemporaneous basis as described above, the stock purchase agreements contain a “superior proposal” provision that permits the Company, under circumstances detailed in the agreements, to terminate the stock purchase agreements at any time prior to a second closing if the board authorizes the Company to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to any such superior proposal transaction. Prior to any such termination, if the Company receives a bona fide written alternative proposal for a transaction that the board reasonably determines (after consultation with outside counsel and a financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation) constitutes a superior proposal, and the board believes in good faith, considering the advice of the Company’s counsel, that the failure to participate in negotiations or discussions would be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the board under applicable law, the Company and its agents and representatives may, subject to certain disclosure obligations to the Investors, pursue and attempt to enter into a definitive agreement for any such superior proposal transaction. In this circumstance, any of the Investors, or all of them, would have an opportunity to present a counter proposal to the “superior proposal” and if the counter proposal is deemed by the board of directors to top the superior proposal, said counter proposal could then become the basis for a new transaction in lieu of the transactions presently contemplated under the stock purchase agreements.

Following the initial closing, the Company has agreed to promptly appoint to its board of directors one individual that is mutually acceptable to the Company and a majority of the Investors, subject to receipt of prior approval from the

Federal Reserve Board and the California Department of Financial Institutions. The Company has also agreed to appoint, promptly after the Investors have purchased all of the Shares, another individual to its board of directors that is mutually acceptable to the Company and a majority of the Investors, subject to receipt of prior approval from the Federal Reserve Board and the California Department of Financial Institutions.

In reliance upon representations provided to the Company by the Investors in the agreements, it is the Company’s intention to issue and the Investors’ intent to purchase the Shares pursuant to a transaction that is exempt from the registration requirements under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“1933 Act”) and the Shares will be restricted securities upon issuance. At the initial closing, the Company and the Investors contemplate entering into registration rights agreements, with provisions customary for transactions of this type, under which the Company will be obligated following the purchase of all of the Shares, to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission to register the Shares under the 1933 Act on behalf of the Investors.

Other than as disclosed above, there are no other material relationships between the Company or it affiliates and any of the Investors.

Cautionary Statement

The stock purchase agreements and other documents described above and in the attached exhibits to this report provide a brief description of the terms and conditions material to the Company. Except for their status as contractual documents that establish and govern the legal relations among the parties thereto with respect to the transactions described above, the documents are not intended to be sources of factual, business or operational information.

Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

The Company’s management has concluded that the Company’s previously issued consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2009, as reported in the Company’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q, can no longer be relied upon. Accordingly, the Company intends to promptly amend and restate its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 as well as other previously filed regulatory reports for the 2009 first quarter as soon as it can reasonably do so. San Joaquin Bank (”Bank”), the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, also intends to promptly amend its call report for the quarter ended March 31, 2009.

As originally reported, the Company had a net loss after tax of $3.6 million. Management now believes that its net loss for the first quarter will increase to approximately $18.2 million. Earnings per share (EPS), both basic and diluted, for the first quarter of 2009 were originally reported to be a loss of $0.91. This EPS figure per share on a basic and diluted basis is now projected to be a loss of approximately $4.63. The Company originally reported an addition to its provision for loan losses of $10.7 million; however, it now projects that its provision for loan losses for the first quarter will increase by more than $26.3 million to about $37 million.

At March 31, 2009, the Company originally reported that it had $105.5 million in classified loans. Based upon additional information related primarily to asset and loan quality that became available to management following the filing of its first quarter report on Form 10-Q and after consultations with the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco and the California Department of Financial Institutions, management determined that approximately $163 million of loans should have been deemed classified for the quarter ended March 31, 2009. Of these classified loans, at March 31, 2009, management now expects to report that approximately $98 million are deemed to be impaired compared to the originally reported amount of $61.6 million. As of March 31, 2009, it is now expected that non-performing and restructured loans will be reported at about $98 million compared to the originally disclosed amount of $45.1 million in non-performing and restructured loans.

The Company initially reported net charge offs of $858,000 for the first quarter of 2009. Management now expects to report approximately $10.7 million in net charge offs for the first quarter. As a result of the increased provision for loan losses for the first quarter of 2009, the allowance for loan losses as of March 31, 2009 is expected to be restated to approximately $41.9 million, or 5.61% of loans, compared to the originally disclosed amount of $25.4 million, or 3.36% of loans. Loans, net of unearned income and the allowance for loan losses, will decline to approximately $704

million from the previously disclosed level of $730.5 million. Total assets are also expected to decline to $872 million from the prior reported level of $888 million.

Total shareholders’ equity at March 31, 2009 is expected to decline by approximately $14.6 million to approximately $38.5 million from the previously reported amount of $53.1 million. On a preliminary basis, the Company’s leverage ratio, tier 1 risk-based capital ratio and total risk-based capital ratio will be restated to approximately 4.34%, 5.06% and 7.14%, respectively. The Bank’s capital ratios are expected to decline to similar levels as follows: 4.28%, 4.99% and 7.07%, respectively. As a result, the Company and the Bank will be deemed to be undercapitalized under guidelines established by bank regulatory agencies as of March 31, 2009.

The Company will file an amended Form 10-Q for the period ending March 31, 2009 as soon as practical.

Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

The information set forth under Item 1.01 is incorporated herein by reference. It is expected that after payment of transaction related fees, the net proceeds to the Company will be approximately $36 million (assuming all of the Shares are purchased in the manner contemplated under the Agreements).

The Company’s common stock, no par value, is expected to be issued to the Investors in reliance on Section 4(2) under the Securities Act of 1933 and/or Regulation D promulgated thereunder in a transaction not involving a public offering. Other possible exemptions from the registration requirements under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, may also be available and the Company reserves the right to assert the availability of such other possible exemptions.

Item 4.02 Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review.

(a) The information in Item 2.02 is incorporated herein by reference.

Commencing after the date of the original filing of the Company’s Form 10-Q report for the quarter ended March 31, 2009, which was filed on May 11, 2009, through July 17, 2009, the Company continued an ongoing evaluation of its classified loan portfolio, the financial condition of certain of the Company’s borrowers and reviewed specific collateral dependent real estate related loans. During this period, the impact of continued recessionary pressures on borrowers and collateral values was gathered by management on a constantly evolving basis. As a result, management identified additional loans that had become impaired and it also downgraded certain loans to classified loan status due to continuing deterioration of credit quality and the borrowers’ ability to make contractually due payments. In addition, during this period, management received new appraisals that, upon analysis, indicated that the value of collateral for certain of the Company’s real estate loans had declined significantly compared to other data which had previously been available to the Company.

During May and June 2009, following a joint examination of San Joaquin Bank by the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco (“Reserve Bank”) and the California Department of Financial Institutions (“DFI”), management also held ongoing discussions with the Reserve Bank and DFI regarding the classification of loans, impairment amounts, loan charge offs and appropriate provisions for loan losses. As a result of this continued evaluation and discussions, it was determined by management that additional loans were impaired and that this would result in increases to the allowance for loan losses and charge offs. It was also determined that these changes, in the aggregate, were material and should have been reflected and recorded in the first quarter of 2009. Based upon these findings, on July 17, 2009, management determined that the Company’s previously issued first quarter 2009 consolidated financial statements should be restated and no longer relied upon.

On July 17, 2009, an authorized officer, discussed the matters disclosed in this item 4.02 with the Company’s independent accountants and the conclusion that interim consolidated financial statements must be restated. Management also discussed these matters with the board of directors. Until the restated report for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 is filed, management of the Company is continuing its analysis with respect to these matters as well as any other potential additional adjustments. The Company anticipates that an amended Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission not later than August 7, 2009.

Subsequent to the original filing of its first quarter 2009 report on Form 10-Q, management identified a material weakness in internal control related to the Company’s policies and procedures for monitoring of and responding to certain financial reporting risks. Specifically, the Company’s policies and procedures in effect at March 31, 2009 did not provide for timely evaluation of and revision to management’s approach for assessing credit risk inherent in the Company’s loan portfolio. Management also concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2009. Management intends to implement, with the approval of the Company’s Audit Committee and prior to filing its amended Form 10-Q, modified internal control procedures and disclosure controls and procedures that are anticipated to operate effectively.
