INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORTS


To the Administrators of
 Napa Valley Bancorp 401(k) Employee Savings Plan
 San Rafael, California

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for
plan benefits, of Napa Valley Bancorp 401(k) Employee Savings Plan as of 
December 1993 and 1992, and the related statements of changes in net assets
available for plan benefits for the years ended then.  These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management.  Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based
on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
from material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and the disclosures in the financial
statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles
used and the 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 plan benefits of the
Plan as of December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the changes in net assets
available for plan benefits for the years then ended in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the
basic financial statements taken as a whole.  The supplementary schedules
on pages 7 through 14 are presented for the purpose of additional analysis   
and are not a required part of the basic financial statements but are
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.  The supplementary schedules have been
subjected to auditing procedures applied in our audits of the basic
financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material
respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

NAPA VALLEY BANCORP
401(k) EMPLOYEE SAVINGS PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE A. Description of the Plan

The following description of the Napa Valley Bancorp 401(k) Employee
Savings Plan (the "Plan") provides only general information.  Participants
should refer to the plan agreement for a more complete description of the
Plan's provisions.

General

The Plan became effective January 1, 1989, and is a defined contribution
plan covering all employees who have one year of service and are age 18 or
older.  A year of service is 12 consecutive months during which an employee
works at least 1,000 hours.  Upon meeting the Plan's eligibility
requirements, an employee may enroll to become a member of the Plan on the
first semiannual entry date (January 1 or July 1) following such
eligibility.

Contributions

Employee contributions are made from payroll deductions each pay period.
Plan participants may contribute between 2% and 15% of their annual gross
salary, but may not exceed Internal Revenue Code limitations on
contributions.  Plan participants elect the percentage, in increments of
10% of the participants contribution, to be invested in each of four types
of investment funds.  The Company matches 50% of each employee's
contribution up to 4% of eligible pay.  This match made each year is
invested in the form of stock in Napa Valley Bancorp (the "Company"), the
Plan's sponsor.

Participant Accounts

Participant's accounts are credited with the allocation of (a) their
contributions, (b) Company matching contributions, and (c) gains or losses
from fund investments.  Forfeitures are created when participants terminate
employment before becoming entitled to their full benefits under the Plan.
The forfeited amounts will be used to reduce the Company's contribution to
the Plan.  Forfeited amounts totaled $40,658 and $12,242 for the plan years
ended December 31, 1993 and 1992, respectively.

Administrative Costs

Administrative costs of the Plan are paid by the Company.

Vesting

Participants are vested in Company contributions based on the number of
years of service as follows:

<PAGE>
Vesting (continued)
                                  Vested
           Years of Service     Percentage

                1-2                0%
                  3               20%
                  4               40%
                  5               60%
                  6               80%
                  7              100%

Participants are 100% vested, regardless of length of service, if death or
total and permanent disability ends employment or if a participant meets
the requirements for normal retirement, as defined in the plan document.
Also, participants are always 100% vested in salary reduction amounts
contributed to the Plan.

Payment Benefits

Unless participants elect otherwise prior to the time benefits are
scheduled to commence, such benefits shall be payable in installments over
a period not to exceed the participant's life expectancy.  Alternatively,
participants may elect to receive lump sum payments equal to the entire
vested account balances.


NOTE B. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Method of Accounting

The financial statements of the Plan are prepared on the accrual basis of
accounting in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Investments

Investments are held by the trustee and are recorded at market value.  All
Plan funds are invested based upon participant elections in four types of
investment funds.  The investment funds offered may be changed from time to
time by the Company.

Taxes

Due to the Plan's qualified status, the financial statements do not include
a provision for income taxes.

<PAGE>
NOTE C. Investments

The Plan's investments (including investments bought, sold and held during
the year) appreciated in value by $202,352 and $302,314 for the years ended
December 31, 1993 and 1992, respectively.

This consisted of appreciation in mutual funds of $50,568 and $10,181 and
in common stock of $151,784 and $292,133 for the years ended December 31,
1993 and 1992, respectively.


NOTE D. Plan Termination

The Company may terminate the Plan at any time.  In the event that the Plan
is terminated, the full value of participant accounts shall become fully
vested.

NOTE E. Tax Status

The Plan was established to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Internal
Revenue Code, whereby the contributions to the Plan and investment income
and gains on assets held by the Plan are not taxed to the participants
until distributed or withdrawn in accordance with the provisions of the
Plan.  The Plan received a favorable tax determination letter from the
Internal Revenue Service on August 6, 1992 regarding the Plan's
qualification under Section 401(a).


NOTE F. Plan Merger

On April 15, 1993, the Company merged into and with Westamerica
Bancorporation ("WABC").  The merger was consummated through the surrender
of Company common stock for WABC common stock.  Consequently, the Plan was
merged into the Westamerica Bancorporation Tax Deferred Savings/Retirement
Plan (ESOP) on April 15, 1993.  Service credited under the Plan will be
credited under the ESOP for purposes of eligibility and vesting.


NOTE G. Employer Related Investments

The Plan has funds invested in common stock of the Company, Napa Valley
Bancorp.  Under the merger of the Company into WABC, each share of the
Company's common stock was exchanged for .6323 shares of WABC common stock.
Such investments are specifically permitted under Section 408 of the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.
