REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

To the Retirement Committee of the
Mid-State Bank Profit Sharing and Salary Deferral 401(k) Plan:

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for
benefits of the MID-STATE BANK PROFIT SHARING AND SALARY DEFERRAL 401(k) PLAN
(the Plan) as of December 31, 1999 and 1998 and the related statement of
changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31,
1999. These financial statements and the supplemental schedule referred to
below are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is
to express an opinion on these financial statements and supplemental schedule
based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on
a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as
of December 31, 1999 and 1998 and the changes in its net assets available for
benefits for the year ended December 31, 1999 in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States.

Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. Supplemental schedule I, listed in the
accompanying Index to Financial Statements, is presented for purposes of
additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial
statements but is supplementary information required by the Department of
Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.

<PAGE>




                                - 2 -

The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied
in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly
stated in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements
taken as a whole.

MID-STATE BANK
PROFIT SHARING AND SALARY DEFERRAL 401(k) PLAN

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 1999

1.       DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN

The following description of the Mid-State Bank Profit Sharing and Salary
Deferral 401(k) Plan (the Plan) provides only general information. Participants
should refer to the Plan document for a more complete description of the Plan's
provisions.

         GENERAL

         The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering substantially all
         employees of Mid-State Bank (the Bank) who have completed ninety days
         of service. Employees become eligible on the first day of the month
         following completion of ninety days of service. The Bank is both the
         sponsor and administrator of the Plan. The trustee of the Plan is Cigna
         Retirement & Investment Services (Trustee). Prior to November 1, 1999,
         the trustee of the Plan was Franklin Templeton Institutional Services.
         The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income
         Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).

         Effective November 17, 1999, the Bank entered into an Agreement to
         Merge and Plan of Reorganization (the Agreement) with City Commerce
         Bank. In connection with this transaction, the assets of City Commerce
         Bank 401(k) Thrift Profit Sharing Plan were transferred into the Plan.
         The aggregate balance of accounts transferred was $1,108,662. The asset
         transfers associated with this merger are reflected in the accompanying
         statement of changes in net assets available for benefits as "Transfers
         in from City Commerce Plan".

         CONTRIBUTIONS

         Participants may defer up to 15 percent of their pre-tax compensation
         through payroll deductions, subject to certain income related
         restrictions. The Bank will make a matching contribution to all
         participants who are actively employed on the last day of the Plan
         year. In 1999 and 1998, this contribution was equal to 6 percent of
         eligible compensation. For the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998,
         the matching contribution was $415,987 and $339,649, respectively. For
         each non-highly compensated participant, the Bank may also contribute a
         profit sharing allocation to the Plan. This contribution is determined
         annually by the Bank's Board of Directors. The Bank's profit sharing
         contribution, together with its salary deferral matching contribution
         and any additional contributions in each plan year, may not exceed 15
         percent of the compensation of all Plan participants. The Board of
         Directors of the Bank elected to make a profit sharing allocation to
         the Plan of $1,334,039 in 1999 and $1,010,350 in 1998. Contributions
         are subject to certain limitations.


<PAGE>


         PARTICIPANT ACCOUNTS

         Each participant's account is credited with the participant's voluntary
         contribution and an allocation of (a) the Bank's contributions, (b)
         amounts previously forfeited for reinstated employees, (c) investment
         income and (d) investment appreciation or depreciation. The Bank's
         contribution is allocated annually to each participant's account in the
         proportion that each participant's annual compensation bears to the
         total compensation for all participants for the plan year.

         VESTING

         Participants are fully vested in any voluntary contributions and income
         thereon. Participants vest in Bank contributions and the related income
         earned as follows:

<TABLE>

<S>                                                                     <C>
                             1                                                  20%

                             3                                                  60%
                             4                                                  80%
                             5                                                 100%
</TABLE>

         Notwithstanding the above, if a participant (1) attains the age of 59
         1/2, (2) dies or (3) terminates employment by reason of disability
         while employed, the Bank's contribution and forfeitures allocated to
         such participant becomes 100 percent vested without regard to years of
         service.

         PAYMENT OF BENEFITS

         Participants may elect to receive benefits in the form of a single
         lump-sum amount equal to the value of the participant's vested interest
         in their account or equal installments over a period of not more than
         the life expectancy determined at the time of distribution. Payments
         are valued as of the last valuation date on or before termination and
         are recorded when paid.

         PARTICIPANT LOANS

         The Plan permits participants to borrow against their vested account
         balances. Participants can borrow the lesser of 50 percent of their
         vested account balance or $50,000 reduced by the excess, if any, of
         their highest outstanding balance of loans from the Plan during the
         one-year period prior to the date of the loan over their current
         outstanding balance of loans. The interest rate on participant loans is
         the prime rate at inception of the loan plus one percent. Loans
         outstanding as of December 31, 1999 and 1998 had an interest rate of
         5.95 percent to 10.50 percent and 6.0 percent to 9.0 percent,
         respectively, and mature between 2000 and 2013 and 1999 and 2008,
         respectively.

         FORFEITURES

         Forfeitures attributable to the Bank's matching contributions are used
         to reduce the Bank's contribution for the Plan year in which the
         forfeitures occur.

         Forfeitures attributable to the Bank's discretionary contributions are
         added to the Bank's discretionary contribution for the plan year in
         which such forfeitures occur and allocated among the participants'
         accounts in the same manner as the Bank's discretionary contributions.

         During 1999, employer contributions were reduced by $16,392.
         Unallocated forfeitures at December 31, 1999 and 1998 totaled
         $41,889 and $0, respectively.

         ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

         All expenses incurred in the administration of the Plan, including
         legal and accounting fees are paid directly by the Bank. During the
         1999 Plan year, the administrative expenses paid by the Bank were not
         significant.

2.       SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

         BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         The financial statements of the Plan are presented in accordance with
         accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP)
         and thus are based on the accrual method of accounting.

         USE OF ESTIMATES

         The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP
         requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
         reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and changes therein, and
         disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could
         differ from those estimates.

         INVESTMENT VALUATION AND INCOME RECOGNITION

         The Plan's investments are stated at fair value. The majority of
         investments are based on quoted market prices, which represents the net
         asset value of shares held by the Plan at year-end. One of the Plan's
         investments is a non-benefit-reponsive investment contract valued at
         fair value (Note 4). It is management's belief that fair value
         approximates contract value. Participant loans are valued at cost,
         which approximates fair value.

         Purchases and sales of securites are recorded on a trade-date basis.
         Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Investment income and
         appreciation or depreciation is allocated daily to each participant's
         account in proportion to the ratio of the account balance to all
         account balances.

4.       INVESTMENT CONTRACT WITH INSURANCE COMPANY

In 1999, the Plan entered into an investment contract with the Trustee. The
contract allows the Plan to offer an investment option, CIGNA Charter Guaranteed
Income Fund (GIF), with a guaranteed rate of return. Once invested in this fund,
the Participant may be limited under certain circumstances to transfer or
withdraw funds from the investment. The GIF was determined not to be fully
benefit-responsive by the plan administrator; accordingly, it is stated at fair
value, which approximates contract value.

There are no reserves against contract value for credit risk of the contract
issuer or otherwise. The average yield and crediting interest rate was
approximately 5.1 percent for 1999. The crediting interest rate is based on a
formula agreed upon with the issuer. Such interest rates are reviewed
semi-annually for resetting.

5.       TAX-EXEMPT STATUS

The Internal Revenue Service has determined and informed the Company by a letter
dated February 12, 1996, that the Plan and related trust are designed in
accordance with applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC). The Plan
has been amended since receiving the determination letter. However, the Plan
administrator and the Plan's tax counsel believe that the Plan is designed and
is currently being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of
the IRC.

6.       PARTY-IN-INTEREST TRANSACTIONS

The Trustee and the Bank are parties-in-interest as defined by ERISA. The
Trustee invests Plan assets in its collective investment funds and the Bank's
Common Stock. Such transactions qualify as party-in-interest transactions
permitted by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations and are exempt
under Section 408(b)(8) of the IRC.

7.       PLAN TERMINATION

Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Bank has the right to
amend the Plan, discontinue its contributions completely, or terminate the Plan
subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of complete discontinuance of
the Bank's contributions or termination of the Plan, participants will become
100 percent vested in their accounts.
