The statements are representative only as of the date they are made, and Solera National Bancorp, Inc. (sometimes referred to herein as on a consolidated basis as the Company, we, us, or similar phrasing) undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement.

These forward-looking statements, implicitly and explicitly, include the assumptions underlying the statements and other information with respect to the Company’s beliefs, plans, objectives, goals, expectations, anticipations, estimates, financial condition, results of operations, future performance and business, including management’s expectations and estimates with respect to revenues, expenses, return on equity, return on assets, efficiency ratio, asset quality and other financial data and capital and performance ratios.

Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, these statements involve risks and uncertainties that are subject to change based on various important factors, some of which are beyond the control of the Company. The following factors, among others, could cause the Company’s results or financial performance to differ materially from its goals, plans, objectives, intentions, expectations and other forward-looking statements:

·                  the Company has a very limited operating history upon which to base an estimate of its future financial performance;

·                  the Company expects to incur losses during its initial years of operations;

·                  Solera National Bank’s failure to implement its business strategies may adversely affect the Company’s financial performance;

·                  the departures of key personnel or directors may impair Solera National Bank’s operations;

·                  Solera National Bank’s legal lending limits may impair its ability to attract borrowers;

·                  an economic downturn, especially one affecting Solera National Bank’s primary service areas, may have an adverse effect on its financial performance;

·                  the Company could be negatively affected by changes in interest rates;

·                  the Company is subject to extensive regulatory oversight, which could restrain our growth and profitability;

·                  the Company may not be able to raise additional capital on terms favorable to it;

·                  the liquidity of the Company common stock will be affected by its limited trading market;

·                  monetary policy and other economic factors could adversely affect the Company’s profitability;

·                  the Company’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws, and the employment agreements of our Executive Officers, contain provisions that could make a takeover more difficult;

·                  management of Solera National Bank may be unable to adequately measure and limit credit risk associated with Solera National Bank’s loan portfolio, which would affect the Company’s profitability;

Table of Contents

·                  government regulation may have an adverse effect on the Company’s profitability and growth;

·                  the effects of competition from other commercial banks, thrifts, mortgage banking firms, consumer finance companies, credit unions, securities brokerage firms, insurance companies, money market and other mutual funds, and other financial institutions operating in our market area and elsewhere, including institutions operating regionally, nationally, and internationally, together with such competitors offering banking products and services by mail, telephone, computer, and the Internet; and

·                  management’s ability to manage these and other risks.

For a discussion of these and other risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements, see “Risk Factors” in the Company’s 2007 Annual Report filed on Form 10-KSB with the SEC, which is available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.  All forward-looking statements are qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement, and the Company undertakes no obligation to revise or update this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof.  New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict which factors, if any, will arise.  In addition, the Company cannot assess the impact of each factor on the Company’s business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.

UNAUDITED CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 — SUMMARY OF ORGANIZATION

Solera National Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”), is a Delaware corporation that was incorporated in 2006 to organize and serve as the holding company for Solera National Bank, a national bank that opened for business on September 10, 2007.  Solera National Bank is a full-service commercial bank headquartered in Lakewood, Colorado initially serving the Denver metropolitan area.

NOTE 2 — BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2008, and the results of its operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007.  Cash flows are presented for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007.  Certain reclassifications have been made to the consolidated financial statements and related notes of prior periods to conform to the current presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on stockholders’ equity or net loss for the periods. Additionally, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements have been condensed or omitted pursuant to rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.  The Company believes that the disclosures in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.  However, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB as of and for the year ended December 31, 2007.

The Company received approval as a bank in organization in the first quarter of 2007, conducted an initial closing of its common stock offering and commenced banking operations during the third quarter of 2007.  Successful completion of the Company’s development program and, ultimately, the attainment of profitable operations are dependent on future events, including the successful execution of the Company’s business plan and achieving a level of revenue adequate to support the Company’s cost structure.

Critical Accounting Policies

Income taxes:  Deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss carryforwards, and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences.  Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases.  Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of the enactment.

Securities available-for-sale:  Securities available-for-sale are reported at fair value utilizing Level 2 inputs.  For these securities, the Company obtains fair value measurements from independent pricing services.  The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U.S. Treasury yield curve, live trading levels, trade execution data, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information and the bonds’ terms and conditions, among other things.

Stock-based compensation:  The Company accounts for stock-based compensation to employees as outlined in FASB Statement No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment, (SFAS 123R).  The cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments is based on the grant-date fair value of the award.

Table of Contents

Provision for loan losses:  The allowance for loan losses represents the Company’s recognition of the risks of extending credit and its evaluation of the loan portfolio. The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level considered adequate to provide for probable loan losses based on management’s assessment of various factors affecting the loan portfolio, including a review of problem loans, business conditions, historical loss experience, evaluation of the quality of the underlying collateral, and holding and disposal costs. The allowance for loan losses is increased by provisions charged to expense and reduced by loans charged off, net of recoveries.  Loan losses are charged against the allowance for loan losses when management believes the loan balance is uncollectible.

The Company has established a formal process for determining an adequate allowance for loan losses.  The allowance for loan losses calculation process has two components.  The first component represents the allowance for loan losses for impaired loans computed in accordance with FASB Statement No. 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan (SFAS 114 Component), as amended by FASB Statement No. 118, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan — Income Recognition and Disclosures - an amendment of FASB Statement No. 114.  To determine the SFAS 114 Component, collateral dependent impaired loans are evaluated using internal analyses as well as third-party information, such as appraisals.  If an impaired loan is unsecured, it is evaluated using a discounted cash flow of the payments expected over the life of the loan using the loan’s effective interest rate and giving consideration to currently existing factors that would impact the amount or timing of the cash flows.  The second component is the allowance for loan losses calculated under FASB Statement No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies (SFAS 5 Component), and represents the estimated probable losses inherent within the portfolio due to uncertainties in economic conditions, delays in obtaining information about a borrower’s financial condition, delinquent loans that have not been determined to be impaired, trends in speculative construction real estate lending, results of internal and external loan reviews, and other factors.  This component of the allowance for loan losses is calculated by assigning a certain risk weighting, within a predetermined range, to each identified risk factor.  The recorded allowance for loan losses is the aggregate of the SFAS 114 Component and SFAS 5 Component.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2008, the FASB issued Financial Accounting Standard No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, (“SFAS 162”). SFAS 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the hierarchy of principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements that are presented in conformity with GAAP in the United States. The hierarchical guidance provided by SFAS 162 did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

NOTE 3 — INVESTMENTS

The amortized costs and fair values of investment securities as of June 30, 2008 are as follows:

Management evaluates investment securities for other-than-temporary impairment taking into consideration the extent and length of time the fair value has been less than cost, the financial condition of the issuer and whether the Company has the intent and ability to retain the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.  All of the Bank’s investment securities were purchased during either the fourth quarter of 2007 or the first six months of 2008, therefore, no securities have been in a continuous loss position for over twelve months.  As of June 30, 2008, no declines in value are deemed to be other than temporary.

As a consequence of higher long-term interest rates due to wider spreads, increased volatility and a shift in Federal Reserve sentiment, the Company recorded a net unrealized loss in the investment portfolio of $286,000 at June 30, 2008.  Management continued to build the Company’s investment portfolio which increased $16.9 million, or 122%, from an amortized cost of $13.9 million at December 31, 2007 to an amortized cost of $30.8 million at June 30, 2008.

NOTE 7 — DEPOSITS

Deposits are summarized as follows:

In the ordinary course of business, certain officers, directors, stockholders, and employees of the Bank have deposits with the Bank.  In the Bank’s opinion, all deposit relationships with such parties are made on substantially the same terms including interest rates and maturities, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with other persons.  The balance of related party deposits at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007 was approximately $2.5 million and $2.1 million, respectively.

NOTE 8 — STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company’s 2007 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) with an effective date of September 10, 2007 and was approved by the Company’s stockholders at the annual meeting held on June 17, 2008.  Under the terms of the Plan, officers and key employees may be granted both nonqualified and incentive stock options and directors and other consultants, who are not also officers or employees, may only be granted nonqualified stock options. The Board reserved 510,734 shares of common stock for issuance under the Plan.  The Plan provides for options to purchase shares of common stock at a price not less than 100% of the fair market value of the stock on the date of grant.  Stock options expire no later than ten years from the date of the grant and generally vest over four years.  The Plan provides for accelerated vesting if there is a change of control, as defined in the Plan.  The Company recognized stock-based compensation cost of approximately $62,000 and $125,000 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively.  The Company recognized stock-based compensation cost of $0 during both the three and six months ended June 30, 2007.  No tax benefit related to stock-based compensation will be recognized until the Company is profitable.

The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation under the provisions of SFAS 123R.  The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model.  No options were granted during the first quarter 2008 and 1,250 options were granted during the second quarter 2008.  No options were granted during the six months ended June 30, 2007.

No options were exercised or vested and 500 options were forfeited during the six months ended June 30, 2008.  During this same period, the Company recognized expense for approximately 49,000 options, representing a pro-rata amount of the options that will vest at the end of year one.  As of June 30, 2008, there was approximately $807,000

of total unrecognized compensation cost related to the outstanding stock options that will be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.23 years.

The following is a summary of the Company’s non-vested options at June 30, 2008:

NOTE 9 — NONINTEREST EXPENSE

The following table details the items comprising Other general and administrative expenses:

NOTE 10 — INCOME TAXES

Deferred taxes are a result of differences between income tax accounting and generally accepted accounting principles with respect to income and expense recognition.  The following is a summary of the components of the net deferred tax asset account recognized in the accompanying statements of financial condition:

13

Table of Contents

The Company has provided a 100% valuation allowance for its net deferred tax asset due to uncertainty of realization during the carryforward period.  The Company has net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $1.8 million for federal income tax purposes.  Federal net operating loss carry forwards, to the extent not used, will expire beginning in 2027.

The income tax provision differs from the amount of income tax determined by applying the U.S. federal income tax rate of 35% to pretax income from continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and the twelve months ended December 31, 2007 due to the following:

NOTE 11 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company is a party to credit related financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers.  These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and letters of credit.  Such commitments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheet.  The Company’s exposure to credit loss is represented by the contractual amount of these commitments.  The Company follows the same credit policies in making commitments as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.

At June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007 the following financial instruments were outstanding whose contract amounts represent credit risk:

14

Table of Contents

Total commitments of $4.1 million were outstanding at June 30, 2008 and consisted of $4.0 million at variable rates and $145,000 at fixed rates.  Total commitments of $2.5 million were outstanding at December 31, 2007 and consisted of $2.4 million at variable rates and $88,000 at fixed rates.

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract.  Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee.  Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the commitments do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.  The Company evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis.  The amount of collateral obtained is based on management’s credit evaluation.  Collateral held varies, but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment and income producing commercial properties.

Letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party.  The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers.

NOTE 12 — FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (SFAS 157 DISCLOSURE)

Effective January 1, 2008, the Company determines the fair market values of its financial instruments based on the fair value hierarchy established in SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157), which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.  The standard describes three levels of inputs, as follows, that may be used to measure fair value.

The Company carries its available-for-sale securities at fair value.  Fair value measurement is obtained from independent pricing services which utilize observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U.S. Treasury yield curve, live trading levels, trade execution data, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information and the bonds’ terms and conditions, among other things.  As of June 30, 2008, all of the Company’s available-for-sale securities, $30.5 million, were valued using Level 2 inputs.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis presents the Company’s consolidated financial condition as of June 30, 2008 and results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.  The discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes related thereto which appear elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW

We are a Delaware corporation that was incorporated on January 12, 2006 to organize and serve as the holding company for Solera National Bank, a national bank that opened for business on September 10, 2007.  Solera National Bank is a full-service commercial bank headquartered in Lakewood, Colorado serving the Denver metropolitan area.  Our main banking office is located at 319 S. Sheridan Blvd., Lakewood, Colorado 80226.  Our telephone number is (303) 209-8600.

We offer a broad range of commercial and consumer banking services to small and medium-sized businesses, licensed professionals and individuals who are particularly responsive to the personalized service that Solera National Bank provides to its customers.  We believe that local ownership and control allows the Bank to serve customers more efficiently and effectively.  Solera National Bank competes on the basis of providing a unique and personalized banking experience combined with a full range of services, customized and tailored to fit the individual needs of its clients.  Solera National Bank serves the entire market area and, in addition, has a special niche focus on the local Hispanic population due to the significant growth of this demographic.

As of June 30, 2008, the Company had, on a consolidated basis, total assets of $48.6 million, net loans of $11.4 million, total deposits of $18.4 million, and stockholders’ equity of $19.6 million.  In 2007, the Company completed an initial public offering of its common stock, issuing 2,553,671 shares at a price of $10.00 per share.  The gross proceeds received from the offering were approximately $25.5 million.

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2008

The following discussion focuses on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2008.  The Company’s principal operations for the three months ended June 30, 2008 consisted of the operations of Solera National Bank, which opened for business September 10, 2007.  The following discussion is limited and does not include a discussion of the comparison to prior financial results for the three months ended June 30, 2007, since the Bank was not open for business during the second quarter of 2007.  As such, a discussion of the comparison to prior financial results is not meaningful to an understanding of our current business and, therefore, has been omitted from this Report.

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

Net interest income is the difference between interest income, principally from loan and investment security portfolios, and interest expense, principally on customer deposits and borrowings.  Net interest income is our principal source of earnings.  Changes in net interest income result from changes in volume, spread and margin. Volume refers to the average dollar level of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.  Spread refers to the difference between the average yield on interest-earning assets and the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities. Margin refers to net interest income divided by average interest-earning assets, and is influenced by the level and relative mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.

Net interest income was $352,000 in the second quarter of 2008. Our annualized net interest margin was 3.55% for the three months ended June 30, 2008.

Total interest income was $497,000 for the second quarter of 2008 consisting primarily of interest on investment securities of $322,000, interest and fees on loans of $141,000 and dividends on bank stocks of $10,000.  Average net loans were $9.1 million, and other average interest-earning assets were $30.6 million, consisting primarily of average available-for-sale securities of $26.9 million, average federal funds sold of $3.0 million and average certificates of deposits with banks of $682,000.

Table of Contents

Total interest expense was $145,000 in the second quarter of 2008.  This consisted primarily of interest expense on certificates of deposit over $100,000 of $47,000, interest expense on Federal Home Loan bank advances of $42,000 and interest expense on money market accounts of $40,000.

Provision for Loan Losses

We determine a provision for loan losses that we consider sufficient to maintain an allowance to absorb probable losses inherent in our portfolio as of the balance sheet date. For additional information concerning this determination, see the section of this discussion and analysis captioned “Allowance for Loan Losses.”

In the second quarter of 2008, our provision for loan losses was $50,000 relating to the growth of our loan portfolio and the estimated probable losses inherent within the portfolio due to uncertainties in economic conditions.  There were no loans specifically reserved for under the SFAS 114 Component of the loan loss reserve.  Furthermore, there were no charge-offs or non-performing loans during the second quarter of 2008.

Noninterest Income

The noninterest income for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 was $22,000, consisting primarily of deposit service charges and fees of $12,000.  Additionally, the Company earned $5,000 in sublease income for offices within the Bank’s main office building that are leased to third parties and $6,000 in net gains on investment securities sold during the second quarter.

Noninterest Expense

Our total noninterest expense was $857,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2008.  This consisted of salaries and benefits of $481,000, occupancy expenses of $113,000, primarily for lease expense for the bank’s main office building, and professional fees of $73,000, for external audit, legal and consulting fees.  The Company employed 18 full-time equivalent employees as of June 30, 2008.

Other general and administrative expenses totaled $189,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 and consisted of marketing and promotional expenses of $59,000 as the Bank continued to raise community awareness of the Bank’s products and services.  Data processing fees were $52,000 and include the costs to operate the Bank’s primary banking software.  Printing, stationery and supplies were $23,000 primarily associated with the printing of the Annual Report and Proxy statement for the first annual meeting of shareholders.  Regulatory and reporting fees were $16,000 primarily attributable to bank assessment fees paid to the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the Federal Reserve Bank, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation as well as fees associated with filing reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Other expenses of $39,000 included $8,000 for travel and entertainment, $6,000 for telephone and communication lines, $4,000 for insurance, $3,000 for dues and memberships, $3,000 for training and education, $2,000 for postage and shipping, and $13,000 for other miscellaneous expenses.

Income Taxes

No federal or state tax expense has been recorded for the quarter ended June 30, 2008, based upon net operating losses.  Since it is uncertain that the Company will become profitable, the deferred tax benefit accumulated to date has a full valuation allowance so that the net deferred tax benefit at June 30, 2008 is $0.

Results of Operations for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2008

The following discussion focuses on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2008.  The Company’s principal operations for the six months ended June 30, 2008 consisted of the operations of Solera National Bank, which opened for business September 10, 2007.  The following discussion is limited and does not include a discussion of the comparison to prior financial results for the six months ended June 30, 2007, since the Bank was not open for business during the first six months of 2007.  As such, a discussion of the comparison to prior financial results is not meaningful to an understanding of our current business and, therefore, has been omitted from this Report.
