Empire Film Group, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: EFGU) (January 18, 2008) announced that they will initiate the theatrical release of "Blonde & Blonder," as part of a six week roll-out strategy targeted to reach more than forty markets throughout the U.S. The film, starring Pamela Anderson and Denise Richards, has benefited from strong media support over the past two weeks as well as attention generated from a charitable promotion with PETA (People for Ethical Treatment of Animals). Initial markets playing "Blonde and Blonder" include Los Angeles, Chicago, Dallas-Ft. Worth, Kansas City and N.W. Arkansas, with roll-out play dates set for New York, Detroit, Houston, Minneapolis-St. Paul, Denver and thirty additional markets. Movie theater chains supporting the release of "Blonde and Blonder" include AMC, Carmike, Cinemark, Dickinson and Malco Theaters.

"Blonde & Blonder" tells the story of two gorgeous-but-disconnected young ladies who are mistakenly identified as mob killers and pursued by a menagerie of colorful characters. The film enjoyed a standing-room-only world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival in May, where it was described by a reviewer for Knight Ridder newspapers as "'Legally Blonde' meets 'Dumb & Dumber,'" a comparison that met with the approval of director Dean Hamilton. .

"Our release strategy is very non-traditional, and that's playing to our favor," said Eric Parkinson, CEO of Empire Home Entertainment, the distribution arm of Empire Film Group. "By staggering markets and our roll-out, we're better able to target local promotions and maximize visibility for the film. We expect the film to be in theaters for eight or more weeks, which will overlap with its availability on DVD. Our theatrical momentum should significantly impact interest in the DVD from First Look Studios," Parkinson concluded.

"Blonde and Blonder" runs 93 minutes, and is MPAA rated PG-13. For more information, theatre listings and a trailer link, please visit: www.BlondeAndBlonderTheMovie.com

The Board of Directors of Central Valley Community Bancorp (Company) (NASDAQ: CVCY)(January 18, 2008), the parent company of Central Valley Community Bank (Bank), reported earlier today unaudited consolidated net income of $6,280,000, or $0.99 per diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2007, compared to $6,911,000, or $1.07 per diluted share, for the same period in 2006, representing a decrease of $631,000 or 9.1% on a year over year basis. Net income for 2006 included tax-exempt life insurance proceeds of $625,000 related to a former bank executive.

Return on average equity for the year ended December 31, 2007 was 12.13% compared to 15.17% for the same period of 2006. This decrease is reflective of the overall increase in capital from the Company's net income, and the exercise of stock options, net of the Company's stock repurchase program. Return on average assets was 1.32% for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to 1.47% for the same period in 2006.

The Company's net interest margin (fully tax equivalent basis) was virtually unchanged, decreasing by 5 basis points to 5.74% for the year ended December 31, 2007 from 5.79% for the year ended December 31, 2006. The Company was able to maintain its net interest margin for 2007 notwithstanding decreases in Federal funds rates during the second half of 2007 coupled with the competition for deposits and liquidity that presented challenges for most financial institutions.

The Company's net interest margin (fully tax equivalent basis) increased 4 basis points to 5.81% for the quarter ended December 31, 2007 from 5.77% for the quarter ended December 31, 2006. Net interest income before provision for credit losses for the fourth quarter of 2007 was $6,224,000, compared to $6,259,000 for the same period in 2006, representing a decrease of $35,000 or 0.6%. The decrease in net interest income is primarily the result of a decrease in average interest-earning assets, partially offset by a decrease in average interest-bearing liabilities. Comparing the fourth quarters of 2007 with 2006, average interest-earning assets decreased 1.3% to $438,066,000 from $443,694,000, respectively. Average loans increased 8.6% or $26,647,000 to $336,697,000 during the fourth quarter of 2007 compared to $310,050,000 for the same period in 2006. Average investments decreased 24.4% or $32,128,000 to $99,633,000 for the fourth quarter of 2007 compared to $131,761,000 for the same period in 2006. Average deposits were $418,298,000 for the fourth quarter of 2007 compared to $427,645,000 for the fourth quarter of 2006.

Non-interest income for the quarter ended December 31, 2007 decreased $511,000 or 30.4% compared to the same period in 2006. This decrease was mainly due to the receipt during 2006 of tax-exempt life insurance proceeds of $625,000 related to a former bank executive. Non-interest expense for the quarter ended December 31, 2007 decreased $293,000, or 5.8% compared to the same period in 2006.
