Offering Price and Number of Shares Subject to the Offering

         The  Board of  Directors  of North  Bay has  amended  the  terms of the
offering.  Instead of offering up to 200,000 of its common stock at a cash price
of $25.00  per share,  North Bay is now  offering  up to  227,273  shares of its
common stock at a cash price of $22.00 per share.  The  aggregate  consideration
remains at $5,000,000.

Maximum Purchase

         The Board of Directors of North Bay has increased the maximum  purchase
for any one individual from $100,000 (4,454 shares) to $500,000 (22,727 shares).

Extension of Offering Expiration Date

         The  Board  of  Directors  of  North  Bay  has  extended  the  offering
expiration  date from April 15, 2000 to May 31, 2000. The Board of Directors has
also  extended  the date to which it retains  discretion  to further  extend the

Shares to be Purchased by Officers and Directors

         The officers and directors of North Bay,  Vintage Bank and the proposed

of the common stock offered in the offering, or approximately 12% of the 227,273
shares of common stock being offered for sale in this  offering.  If all 227,273
shares are sold in this  offering,  the  directors and officers of North Bay and
its subsidiaries will own  approximately 29% of the outstanding  shares of North
Bay common stock, not including presently exercisable options.

               ---------------------------------------------------
                   DETERMINATION OF REVISED SUBSCRIPTION PRICE
               ---------------------------------------------------

         The  revised  subscription  price for the  shares  of common  stock was
determined by management and approved by the North Bay Board of Directors  based
upon information  which they believed to be relevant,  including an opinion from
its financial advisors that the $22.00 revised subscription price is fair to the
existing  holders of North Bay.  Management  and the Board also  considered  the
recent  trading  history of the common  stock,  North Bay's and  Vintage  Bank's
financial  condition  and  earnings  as well as the per share  book value of the
common stock.

         The primary  objectives in establishing the revised  subscription price
were to maximize  net proceeds  obtainable  from the offering and to enhance the
success of the offering.

         No  assurance  can be given that the market price of North Bay's common
stock will not decline  during the  offering  to a level below the  subscription
price  or that a  shareholder  will be able  to  sell  shares  purchased  in the
offering at a price equal to or greater than the subscription price.

Opinion of Financial Advisor

         North Bay's Board of Directors  retained Hoefer & Arnett,  Incorporated
as its financial  advisor to assist it in establishing the revised  subscription
price.  On March 28, 2000,  Hoefer & Arnett  delivered its oral opinion to North
Bay's Board of Directors that the revised  subscription  price was fair,  from a
financial  point of view, to the  shareholders  of North Bay. On March 29, 2000,
Hoefer & Arnett  delivered its written  opinion to North Bay confirming its oral
opinion.  North Bay did not  impose  any  limitations  on  Hoefer & Arnett  with
respect to its opinion.

         Hoefer & Arnett is a nationally recognized investment banking firm and,
as part of its  investment  banking  activities,  is  regularly  engaged  in the
valuation  of  businesses  and  their   securities  in  connection  with  merger
transactions and other types of acquisitions,  negotiated underwritings, private
placements and valuations for corporate and other  purposes.  North Bay selected
Hoefer & Arnett  to  render  the  opinion  on the  basis of its  experience  and
expertise and its reputation in the banking and investment communities.

         In rendering  its opinion in  connection  with the  offering,  Hoefer &
Arnett relied upon information and materials provided by North Bay. In addition,
Hoefer & Arnett met with the directors and  management of North Bay and reviewed
other data relating to the  economics for the relevant area and conducted  tests
of the market  value of North Bay common  stock.  Hoefer & Arnett also  reviewed
drafts of this  prospectus,  compared  North Bay from a financial  point of view
with other selected companies in the financial services industry, and considered
other  information  that it  considered  appropriate.  Hoefer &  Arnett  has not
independently  verified the information and documents  provided by the directors
and management of North Bay.

         Hoefer & Arnett  was paid a fee in the  amount of $4,000 in  connection
with its  advisory  services  to North Bay,  including  the  preparation  of its
opinion and report.

      APPROVAL OF SOLANO BANK BY THE CALIFORNIA COMMISSIONER OF FINANCIAL
                                  INSTITUTIONS
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------

The California  Commissioner of Financial  Institution  approved the Application
for  approval  to  organize  Solano  Bank on May 3, 2000,  after  completing  an
investigation to ascertain the matters  required by law,  including that (a) the
proposed  Bank would  promote  the public  convenience  and  advantage;  (b) the
proposed capital structure is adequate; and (c) the conditions in Solano County,
along with the  experience,  ability and standing of the proposed  directors and

officers,   afford  a  reasonable   promise  of  successful   operations.   This
determination  by the  Commissioner  does not  constitute  a  representation  or
guarantee by him that Solano Bank will be successful.  Final licensing of Solano
Bank to commence operations is dependent upon compliance with certain conditions
and procedures under California law,  including  completion of this offering and
Solano Bank  obtaining  Federal  Deposit  Insurance and becoming a member of the
Federal Reserve  System.  From May 3, 2000 until final  licensing,  the new bank
will now be referred to as Solano Bank (In Organization)  instead of Solano Bank
(Proposed).
