                        WESTAMERICA BANCORPORATION
                TAX DEFERRED SAVINGS/RETIREMENT PLAN (ESOP)
                       NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1:   The Plan

The Westamerica Bancorporation Tax Deferred Savings/Retirement Plan
ESOP) (the Plan), formerly called the Westamerica Bancorporation
Supplemental Retirement Plan, was established by Westamerica
Bancorporation (the Company) as a non-contributory profit sharing plan. 
The Plan was amended to include a salary deferral feature pursuant to
Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code.  Concurrent with the
amendment, all existing account balances were invested in either common
stock or certificates of deposit of the  Company, and all employee
accounts were fully vested.  The plan was also amended and restated
as an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP).

The Internal Revenue Service issued a favorable determination letter on
November 23, 1993, stating that the Plan qualifies under Internal
Revenue Code Section 401(a) and that the underlying trust is exempt from
income tax under Section 501(a).  Continued qualification is dependent
on the Plan's future operation.

The Plan's eligibility provisions were amended effective April 1, 1991. 
Prior to that time, a salaried employee hired to work 30 hours or more
per week became eligible to participate in the Plan on the date
that such employee first performed an hour of service for which he or
she was compensated by the Company and a salaried employee hired to work
fewer than 30 hours per week became eligible to participate in the Plan
only after completing six months of service.  After the amendment, a
salaried employee becomes eligible to participate in the Plan as of the
first day of the Plan quarter following his or her completion of a
ninety day introductory period.  In addition to the amendment regarding
eligibility requirements, the Plan was also amended in four other
respects, as follows:

    First, effective January 1, 1991, the Company's matching
    contribution was increased from 35 percent to 50 percent
    of the participant's elective contribution, up to a maximum  
    of 6 percent of the participant's salary.

    Second, April 1, 1991, any participant may elect, at the
    beginning of any Plan quarter, to transfer up to 50 percent 
    of his or her Common Stock Fund into other investment funds
    provided under the Plan.

    Third, effective April 1, 1991, a participant is allowed 
    to borrow against his or her Rollover Account.  A Rollover 
    Account consists of participant contributions disbursed 
    from other plans qualified under the Internal Revenue Code 
    and deposited in the Plan within 60 days of receipt by the 
    participant.

    Fourth, effective January 1, 1995, the Company's matching
    contribution was increased from 50 percent to 100 percent
    of the participant's elective contribution, up to a maximum 
    of 6 percent of the participant's salary.

Participants may elect to defer compensation, through payroll deduction,
by any whole percentage up to 15 percent of compensation (not to exceed
$9,240 in 1994 and $8,994 in 1993) in any plan year.  Participants
may direct that funds be invested in whole or in part in any of the
seven investment funds as follows:

The Company Common Stock Fund, which is invested in Company Common
Stock.

The Money Market Savings Fund, which is invested in high-grade,
short-term money market instruments.

The CD Fund, which consists of certificates of deposit placed with
Westamerica Bank, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

The Equity Index Fund, which is invested in common stock of 499 of
the 500 common stock issues comprising the Standard & Poor's 500
Composite Stock Price Index (the "Index"). The exception is BankAmerica
Corporation Stock.  Westamerica Bancorporation stock is not included in
the Index.

The Stein Roe Special Mutual Fund, which is an open-end no-load
actively managed stock mutual fund.

The International Equity Fund, which is invested primarily in
common stock and equity related securities traded on major international
markets outside the U.S.

The Intermediate Treasury Bond Index Fund, which is invested
entirely in securities of the U.S. Treasury with maturities of between
one and ten years.

The Plan permits participants to borrow from their account and allows
for hardship withdrawals.  A participant may borrow the lesser of 50
percent of their total account balance, 100 percent of participant
contributions, or $50,000.  In 1994 and 1993, total participant loans
funded were $132,350 and $219,052, respectively.

The Company's matching contributions are invested in the Company Common
Stock Fund.  The Company may, but is not obligated to, contribute
additional amounts to the Company Common Stock Fund.  All
contributions are 100 percent vested and non-forfeitable with the
exception that participants terminating employment with the Company
forfeit Company matching contributions in the plan quarter of
termination.

As of December 31, 1994, the Plan had 640 active participants of a total
of 1,065 eligible participants.  As of December 31, 1993, the Plan had
682 active participants.

The Plan is administered by the Board of Directors of the Company, which
has delegated this authority to the Company's Pension Management
Committee.  This committee has the responsibility for the general
operation of the Plan.  All expenses of administration may be paid out
of the Plan unless paid by the Company.  Bank of America NT & SA
("Trustee") is the trustee for the Plan.

NOTE 2:   Significant Accounting Policies

a)   Investments are stated at quoted market values as determined by the
     Trustee by reference to published market data.  Purchases and sales 
     of investments are recorded on a trade-date basis.

b)   The Plan uses the accrual method of accounting in accordance with
     generally accepted accounting  principles.

c)   The amount of investment gains and losses are determined based on
     revalued cost.  Revalued cost represents the market value of the    
     assets at the beginning of the plan year or historical cost if an
     investment was acquired during the plan year.

d)   Certain amounts in the prior year's financial statements have been
     reclassified to conform with the current year's presentation.       
     These reclassifications have no effect on previously reported net   
     assets available for plan benefits.

NOTE 3:   Transactions with Westamerica Bancorporation and Subsidiaries

At December 31, 1994 and 1993, time certificates of deposit were
invested in the Company's wholly owned subsidiary bank, Westamerica
Bank, in the amounts of $490,994 and $622,858, respectively.  All such
time certificates of deposit were at market rates of interest.  Total
interest earned by the Plan on these accounts was $21,228 in 1994 and
$20,504 in 1993.

At December 31, 1994 and 1993, the Plan held 311,529 and 324,899 shares,
respectively, of common stock of the Company.  Dividends earned on the
Company's common stock are paid directly to participants, based
on shares allocated to each participant account.  Dividends earned on
shares not allocated to participant accounts are paid to the Plan and
allocated to participants based on their relative holdings of the
Company's common stock within the Plan.  Total dividends earned by the
Plan on these unallocated shares were $-0- in 1994 and $717 in 1993.

NOTE 4:   Refunds of Excess Contributions

During 1994 and 1993 certain participants contributed more than the
maximum amount allowable under the Internal Revenue Code.  The aggregate
amounts of contributions and earnings thereon to be returned to
certain participants as of December 31, 1994 and 1993 were $23,479 and
$65,949, respectively.  The refunds were made subsequent to the Plan's
year end. 


NOTE 5:   Plan Termination

The Company has the right to discontinue its contributions at anytime
and to terminate the Plan.  In the event of Plan termination, the
participants' accounts are 100 percent vested and non-forfeitable.

NOTE 6:   Plan Merger

Due to the merger of Napa Valley Bancorp with and into Westamerica
Bancorporation, the Napa Valley Bancorp 401(k) Employee Savings Plan
("NVBC Plan") was merged with and into the Plan on April 15,
1993.  The Napa Valley Bancorp Plan assets were transferred to the
Trustee in December 1993.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


To the Administrators of
   Westamerica Bancorporation Tax Deferred
   Savings/Retirement Plan (ESOP)
   Novato, California


We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets
available for plan benefits of Westamerica Bancorporation Tax
Deferred Savings/Retirement Plan (ESOP) as of December 31, 1994
and 1993, and the related statements of changes in net assets
available for plan benefits for the years then ended. 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,
1994 and 1993, 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 6 through 13 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 the 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.
