~~Item 1.03 Bankruptcy or Receivership.~~2

As a result of the FDIC being appointed receiver of the Bank, the Company expects to cease all business activity and operations since the Bank was the Company’s primary source of revenue. The Company does not have revenue from continuing operations, and may be unable to pay advisors and accountants to assist in the preparation of required reports for continued filing under the rules and regulations promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“SEC”). No further information is available at this time. The Company can be contacted now at P. O. Box 267, Sonoma, CA. 95476, or by message at (707) 738-4463. It is uncertain whether the Company can continue operations under the current conditions, and may be forced to seek bankruptcy protection.SIGNATURES
