The Audit Committee of the Bridge Capital Holdings Board of Directors (the “Audit Committee”) is composed of five (5) independent directors and operates under a written charter adopted by the Board of Directors.  The members of the Audit Committee are Richard M. Brenner as Chair, Lawrence Owen Brown, David V. Campbell, Allan C. Kramer, M.D., Robert P. Latta, Thomas M. Quigg and Barry A. Turkus.  The Audit Committee selects the Company’s independent accountants.


Management is responsible for the Company’s internal controls and the financial reporting process.  The independent accountants, Vavrinek, Trine, Day & Co. LLP, are responsible for performing an independent audit of the Company’s consolidated financial statements and internal control in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board and to issue a report thereon.  The Audit Committee’s responsibility is to monitor and oversee these processes.


In this context, the Audit Committee has met and held discussions with management and Vavrinek, Trine, Day & Co. LLP. Management represented to the Audit Committee that the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008 were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and the Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed these consolidated financial statements with management and Vavrinek, Trine, Day & Co. LLP. The Audit Committee discussed with Vavrinek, Trine, Day & Co. LLP matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 114 (Communication with Audit Committees).


Vavrinek, Trine, Day & Co. LLP also provided to the Audit Committee the written disclosures required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1 (Independence Discussions with Audit Committees), and the Audit Committee discussed with Vavrinek, Trine, Day & Co. LLP that firm’s independence. We have considered whether the provision of services by Vavrinek, Trine, Day & Co. LLP not related to the audit of the financial statements referred to above and to the reviews of interim financial statements included in the Company’s 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, June 30 and September 30, 2008, is compatible with maintaining Vavrinek, Trine, Day & Co. LLP’s independence.


Based on the Audit Committee’s discussion with management and Vavrinek, Trine, Day & Co. LLP and the Audit Committee’s review of the representation of management and the report of Vavrinek, Trine, Day & Co. LLP to the Audit Committee, the Audit Committee recommended that the Board of Directors include the audited consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 filed with the Securities Exchange Commission.


Respectfully submitted by the Audit Committee,


Richard M. Brenner (Chairman), Lawrence Owen Brown, David V. Campbell, Allan C. Kramer, M.D., Robert P. Latta,  Thomas M. Quigg and Barry A. Turkus.
