                 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND MANAGEMENT REPRESENTATION

BSM Bancorp (the "Company") was incorporated on November 12, 1996, for the 
sole purpose of becoming a bank holding company for Bank of Santa Maria (the 
"Bank"). Following regulatory consent and with the approval of the Bank's 
shareholders, the Bank merged with BSM Merger Company (a wholly-owned 
subsidiary of the Company) (the "Merger"), as of the close of business on 
March 11, 1997 and thereby became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.  

As of December 31, 1996, the Company had only one shareholder and it  had no 
SEC nor Federal Reserve Bank reporting requirements.  Following completion of 
the Merger, the Company is required to file periodic reports under section 
15(d) of the Exchange Act.  A quarterly report on Form 10Q was filed on March 
31, 1997, for the first time.  As the Merger was recorded using the pooling 
of interest method, restatement of prior balances were necessary to meet 
accounting standards.  Accordingly, the financial statements herein contain 
balances prior to the actual existence of the Company which reflect what the 
"consolidated" entity would have reported as restated for all acquisitions, 
either recorded by pooling or purchase accounting. 

The unaudited consolidated financial statements has been prepared in 
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and with the 
instructions to Form 10-Q.  On January 10, 1997, the Bank acquired El Camino 
National Bank through an exchange of Bank stock.  This acquisition was 
accounted for using the pooling of interest method.  The annual report for 
Bank of Santa Maria, although disclosing the merger, did not restate the 1996 
financial numbers as the effect on the reported numbers was not deemed 
material.  Concurrently, the Bank was in the process of obtaining regulatory 
approval to form the Company.  While the management of BSM Bancorp believes 
that the disclosures presented are sufficient to make the information not 
misleading,, reference should be made to the Bank's Annual Report for the 
year ended December 31, 1996.  Management had elected to include a 
CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF CHANGES IN SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY to assist the 
reader in the analysis of the  Merger and the acquisition , both of which 
occurred during the first quarter. 

The accompanying consolidated balance sheets, statements of income, 
statements of changes in shareholders' equity and statement of cash flows (as 
restated for the acquisition of  El Camino National Bank and the subsequent 
Merger of the Bank of Santa Maria by the Company), reflect all material 
adjustments necessary for fair presentation of the Company's financial 
position as of June 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996 and the results of 
operations for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996.  All such

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS

OVERVIEW

For the six months ended June 30, 1997, the Company reported net income of 
$1,850,000, or $.61 per share compared to a net income of $1,846,000, or $.62 
per share for the same six month period in 1996.  The second quarter of each 
year was essentially the same at $.31 for each period.  The annualized return 
on average assets was 1.20% for the first half of 1997 compared to 1.29% for 
the first half of 1996, as restated for the El Camino merger.  Return on 
average shareholders' equity for the six month period ended June 30, 1997 and 
1996 was 10.92% and 12.14% respectively.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Total assets as of June 30, 1997, decreased .3% to $320.5 million in 
comparison to restated total assets of $321.4 million as of December 31, 
1996. Historically, the Company has experienced a decline in overall asset 
totals with the comparable decline for the first half of 1996, recorded at 
 .8% after factoring out the purchase of approximately $29 million in assets 
in conjunction with the May, 1996 Citizens acquisition.  Cash and cash 
equivalents increased by $1.5 million with funds provided by the operating 
activities used to cover a net outflow of deposit dollars.  Loans declined by 
$2.9 million during the first half of 1997, compared to a $5.7 million 
decline during the same period in 1996, after factoring the purchase of 
approximately $18 million dollars in loans in conjunction with the May, 1996 
Citizens acquisition.  The percentage of decline is only 1.6% for 1997, 
versus 3.4% for 1996, which appears to be attributable to the expanded 
service area and mix of loans rather than directly tied to the economy.  
While total investment dollars remained essentially constant, the mix between 
securities held to maturity and available for sale reflects the Company's 
policy to have a larger percentage of security dollars available to meet 
liquidity needs.  This was accomplished by purchasing "available for sale" 
securities from the proceeds of maturing "held to maturity" securities.  The 
increase in premises and equipment by a net $543,000 included the purchase of 
land adjacent to the Bank's main office previously leased for employee 
parking and cost associated with the purchase and refurbishing of the 
building used for the newly opened Atascadero Branch.  The Bank's cash flow 
continued to benefit from several sales of other real estate owned properties 
during the second quarter.

Deposits declined by $1.5 million during the first half of 1997, versus a 
$3.4 million decline during the same period in 1996, after factoring in the 
purchase of approximately $29 million in deposits in conjunction with the 
May, 1996 Citizens acquisition.  The percentage of decline was .5% for 1997, 
versus 1.3% for 1996.  The decline appears to attributable to the runoff of 
deposit dollars associated with the acquisition of El Camino National Bank in 
January of 1997 and the acquisition of Citizens in May of 1996.  A certain 
level of runoff was anticipated by Company management. 

The Bank, prior to its acquisition by the Company, paid semiannual dividends, 
a policy which was first implemented in mid 1996.  During the first quarter 
of 1996, the Directors of the Bank paid a $.20 per share annual cash dividend 
which was augmented in August of 1996, with the first semiannual dividend of 
$.15 per share.  In January of 1997, the Bank again paid a $.15 per share 
cash dividend. The Company was the beneficiary of an organizational dividend 
of $150,000 on March 12, 1997, from the Bank.  With the Company now fully 
organized, a $.20 cash dividend was declared in July, 1997, payable on August 
15, 1997.  Both the Bank and the Company maintain strong liquidity positions.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Interest income on loans was up by $602,000 in the first half of 1997, 
compared with the first quarter of 1996.  The increase in interest income was 
primarily attributable to the increase in average outstanding loans, which 
were by $9.6 million.  The effective yield only was up approximately 17 basis 
points. Approximately 83% of this positive variance is due then to the volume 
increase, primarily from the purchase of loans in conjunction with the 
Citizens acquisition.  There was also a difference caused by the number of 
days during the respective first quarters which accounts for approximately 
$45,000.

Interest income on investments, including Federal funds transactions, 
increased by $343,000 during the first half of 1997, over the comparable 
period in 1996. This increase, as with loans, was primarily attributable to 
the increase in funds available for investment, which were up by $9.8 
million.  The effective yield was up only 18 basis points.  Approximately 78% 
of this positive variance is due then to the volume increase (primarily from 
the investible cash, $8.1 million), made 

                                       8

<PAGE>

available in conjunction with the Citizens acquisition.  There was also a 
difference caused by the number of days during the respective first halves 
which accounts for approximately $14,000.

Interest expense on interest-bearing deposits were up by $270,000 in the 
first half of 1997, compared with the first half of 1996.  The increase in 
interest expense was attributable to the average interest-bearing deposits 
which were up by $16.5 million.  The effective rate which was down 
approximately 2 basis points.  The reduction in the rate decreased the 
overall interest expense cost by about $22,000.  There was also a difference 
caused by the number of days during the respective first halves which 
accounts for approximately $21,000.

Net interest margin improved from 5.71% for first half 1996, to 5.83% for the 
same period in 1997.  The provision for loan losses of $30,000 is sufficient 
to bring the allowance for loan losses to a balance considered to be adequate 
to absorb potential losses in the portfolio.  Management's determination of 
the adequacy of the allowance is based upon a detailed evaluation of the 
portfolio, current economic conditions and trends, historical loan loss 
experience and other risk factors.

Non interest income increased $200,000 or 13.25% to $1,712,000 as of June 30, 
1997.  While the effect of the mergers contributed to the increase service 
fee base, fees from the sale of loans into the secondary market also are 
reflected in the overall increase in 1997.  Non interest expenses increased 
$853,000 or 14.63% t0 $6,677,000 as of June 30, 1997.  Approximately 45% of 
this overall increase is related to increased salary expense, due directly to 
the three additional operating branches reflected in the first half of 1997.  
Two of these branches (Citizens Bank) were acquired in May of 1996 and 
accounted for using purchase accounting along with the newly opened 
Atascadero branch.  The number of full-time equivalents, as restated for the 
El Camino merger, grew from 174 as of June 30, 1996, to 204 as of June 30, 
1997.  This represents a 17.24% increase.  Also during the first half of 
1997, the Bank absorbed certain costs associated with the El Camino merger 
totaling approximately $56,000, goodwill amortization from the Citizens 
acquisition totaling $66,000, increased occupancy costs for the three 
additional locations of approximately $67,000, as well as increased 
promotional expenses associated with the El Camino merger and the opening of 
the Atascadero Branch of approximately $33,000.  There was also a writedown 
of $54,000 to one of the Bank's OREO properties which occurred during the 
first half.  While some of these aforementioned expenses will be ongoing, 
approximately $120,000 appear to be of a non-reoccurring nature.  Excluding 
these dollars would bring the percentage of increase in noninterest expenses 
for the first half of 1997 (when compared to first half 1996), down to 
12.57%, which is more in line with the increase in noninterest income. 

CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company and its bank subsidiary are subject to risk-based capital 
regulations adopted by the federal banking regulators.  These guidelines are 
used to evaluate capital adequacy and are based upon an institution's assets 
risk profile and off-balance sheet exposures, such as unused loan commitments 
and letters of credit.  The following table sets forth the Company's and the 
Bank's leverage and risk-based capital ratios at June 30, 1997:
