Item 2. Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
- ------  ------------------------------------

     On January 7, 2000, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization
dated September 7, 1999, Kings River Bancorp ("Bancorp") merged with KRBHC
Merger Corp, Registrant's wholly-owned subsidiary. The merged entity was then
merged with and into Registrant, thus making Kings River State Bank ("Bank") a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Registrant.

     As a result, Registrant acquired total assets of $87.9 million, comprising
$5.9 million in cash and due from banks, $25.3 million in securities and
investments, $54.4 million in net loans and $2.3 million in other assets. Total
liabilities assumed amount to $80.1 million, of which $72.7 million comprised
deposits. The remainder represented other borrowed funds and other liabilities.

     The merger with Bancorp and resultant acquisition of Bank was a cash
transaction. The total purchase price was $21,728,325, or $72.22 per share for
each of Bancorp's 300,863 shares of common stock. The funds necessary for the
purchase originated primarily from the up- streaming of dividends from Valley
Independent Bank ("VIB"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Registrant, to
Registrant. In addition, Registrant cashed some of its deposit accounts held
with VIB. Additionally, Dennis L. Kern, the Registrant's President and Chief
Executive Officer, was added to Bank's Board of Directors.

Item 7. Financial Statements, Pro Forma Financial Information and Exhibits.
- ------  ------------------------------------------------------------------

          A. Financial Statements of Business Acquired.
             ------------------------------------------

consolidated assets, Bank's assets as a percentage of total consolidated assets,
and Bank's pre-tax income as a percentage of total consolidated pre-tax income
are all less than 20%. Accordingly, pursuant to Rule 3-05(b)(2)(i) of Regulation
S-X, no financial statements are required.
