ITEM 2. ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.
On June 28, 1996, Capital Corp of the West acquired control of Town
and Country Finance and Thrift Company, an industrial loan company
headquartered in Turlock. California. See the attached press release for
further information. Town and Country was previously held by approximately 80
individual shareholders. The consideration for the acquisition was
approximately $5.6 million, of which $1.6 to $1.8 million is cash and the
balance of which is common stock of Capital Corp of the West (approximately
267,000 to 282,000 shares at $14.05 per share). The exact amounts will
depend on the results of a cash/stock election now being made by former Town
and Country shareholders. The cash portion is funded in part from cash on
hand and in part from a loan from an unaffiliated commercial bank. Town and
Country will continue to operate its offices as a separate industrial loan
company subsidiary of Capital Corp of the West. No prior material
relationship existed between Capital Corp of the West and Town and Country or
any of their respective directors and officers or their associates.

HISTORICAL AND PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet at
March 31, 1996, and pro forma condensed combined statements of income for the
year ended December 31, 1995, and for the three-month period ended March 31,
1996, combine the historical balance sheets of Capital Corp and Town & Country
as if the Merger had been been effective on March 31, 1996, and the income
statements of Capital Corp and Town & Country as if the Merger had been
effective on the beginning of each period presented. The pro forma information
also gives effect to the cancellation of 168,156 shares of Town & Country common
stock, no par value, outstanding at December 31, 1995, with an aggregate value
(Exchange Amount) equal to $33.05 per share in exchange for Capital Corp common
stock, no par value, and cash consideration. Share information was calculated
using an aggregate Cash Component of $1,600,000 and an Exchange Ratio of 1.675
shares, which corresponds to a Capital Corp per share Market Value of $14.05.
The pro forma adjustments are based upon available information and upon certain
assumptions that management believes are reasonable under the circumstances.
The Merger is accounted for under the purchase method of accounting, after
giving effect to the pro forma adjustments described in the accompanying notes.
Under this method of accounting, the purchase price has been allocated to the
assets and liabilities of Town & Country based on preliminary estimates of fair
values as of the date of acquisition. The actual fair values will be determined
following consummation of the Merger.
These unaudited pro forma combined financial statements should be read
in conjunction with the historical consolidated financial statements and the
related notes thereto of Capital Corp and the historical financial statements
and related notes thereto of Town & Country. The unaudited pro forma statements
of income are not necessarily indicative of operating results which would have
been achieved had the Merger been consummated as of the beginning of the first
period presented and should not be construed as representative of future
operations.
