              Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

   The unaudited consolidated financial statements of California Bancshares,
   Inc. and Subsidiaries (the "Company") are prepared in accordance with
   generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information
   and with the instructions to Form 10-Q.  In the opinion of management, all
   adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position,
   results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented have been
   included and are normal and recurring.  These unaudited consolidated
   financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited
   consolidated financial statements included in the Company's annual report on
   Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1994.

   The unaudited financial statements of the Company include the accounts of
   California Bancshares, Inc. (the Parent) and its banking subsidiaries,
   Alameda First National Bank, Bank of Livermore, The Bank of Milpitas, N.A.,
   The Bank of San Ramon Valley, Centennial Bank, Commercial Bank of Fremont,
   Community First National Bank, Concord Commercial Bank, Lamorinda National
   Bank, Modesto Banking Company and Westside Bank (collectively, the Banks),
   and non-bank subsidiaries, CBI Mortgage, Island Bancorp. Leasing, Inc. and
   LNB Corp.

   The revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities of the subsidiaries are
   included in the respective line items in the unaudited consolidated financial
   statements, after elimination of all material intercompany accounts and
   transactions.  The results of operations and cash flows are not necessarily
   indicative of those expected for the full fiscal year.  Certain amounts for
   prior periods have been reclassified to conform with the 1995 presentation.

2. ACQUISITIONS:

   On June 30, 1995, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of First
   Community Bankshares, Inc., the holding company for Centennial Bank.
   Centennial Bank, located in Castro Valley, California, had assets of $118
   million at June 30, 1995.  This acquisition was accounted for as a purchase
   and accordingly, the results of operations, which are not material to the
   consolidated financial statements, will be included in the Company's
   consolidated financial statements from the acquisition date.  The total cost
   of the acquisition was $16.25 million in cash.  The excess of the purchase
   price over fair value of net assets acquired was $5.1 million.

   On January 31, 1995, the Company completed the acquisition of Bank of
   Livermore (Livermore), which had $71 million in total assets at December 31,
   1994.  The Company issued 633,908 shares of common stock valued at
   approximately $10.9 million at the time of the transaction.  The acquisition
   of Livermore was accounted for as a pooling-of-interests.   Livermore is not
   material to the financial condition or operating results of the Company, and
   therefore, prior period balances were not restated.  However, 1995 amounts
   were adjusted to reflect the transaction as if it had occurred January 1,
   1995.

                                       (6)

3. ADOPTION OF STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS NO. 114 AND 118:

   On January 1, 1995, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
   Standards No. 114 (SFAS No. 114), "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of
   a Loan", as amended by SFAS No. 118 (collectively referred to as SFAS No.
   114), on a prospective basis.  These Statements address the accounting
   treatment of certain impaired loans and amend SFAS No. 5 and 15.  However,
   these statements do not address the overall adequacy of the allowance for
   loan losses and do not apply to large groups of smaller-balance homogeneous
   loans unless they have been involved in a restructuring.

   A loan is considered impaired, within the scope of SFAS No. 114, when, based
   on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be
   unable to collect principal or interest due according to the contractual
   terms of the loan.  For a loan that has been restructured the contractual
   terms of the loan refer to the contractual terms of the original loan
   agreement.

   The Company measures the impairment of a loan when and while a loan is on
   nonaccrual or the loan has been restructured.  The amount of impairment is
   calculated by the Company using discounted cash flows, except when the source
   of repayment for the loan is through the liquidation of the underlying
   collateral.  For these loans, the net realizable value of the collateral
   (current fair value less estimated costs to sell) is used in place of
   discounted cash flows.  If the measurement of the impaired loan is less than
   the recorded investment in the loan, the Company recognizes such impairment
   by creating or adjusting the existing allowance for loan losses.  If full
   collection is uncertain, cash receipts shall be applied first to principal,
   then to recovery of amounts previously charged off, then to interest income.

   The following table presents the recorded investment in impaired loans and
   the related SFAS No. 114 allowance for loan losses at June 30, 1995:

4. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES:

   In the normal course of business there are outstanding various commitments to
   extend credit, letters of credit and contingent liabilities that are not
   reflected in the financial statements.  While no related losses are
   anticipated, such instruments do involve elements of credit and interest rate
   risk in excess of amounts recorded in the balance sheet.  Commitments to
   extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no
   violation of any condition established in the contract.  Commitments
   generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may
   require payment of a fee.  Since many of the commitments are expected to
   expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amount does not
   necessarily represent future cash requirements.  Standby and commercial
   letters of credit are written conditional commitments issued by the Banks to
   guarantee


                                       (7)

<PAGE>

   the performance of a customer to a third party.  Letters of credit have fixed
   expiration dates and require payment of a fee.  When making commitments or
   issuing letters of credit, the Banks evaluate each customer's
   creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis.  The same credit policies are used
   in making commitments and conditional obligations as are used for on-balance
   sheet instruments.  The Banks control the credit risk of these transactions
   through credit approval, limits and monitoring procedures.  The amount of
   collateral obtained, if deemed necessary, is based on management's credit
   evaluation of the customer.  Exposure to credit loss, in the event of
   nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument, for
   commitments to extend credit and letters of credit is represented by the
   contractual notional amount of those instruments.

   Amounts of these financial instruments at June 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994
   are summarized below:

</TABLE>

   The Company and its subsidiaries, in the ordinary course of business, are
   defendants in various legal proceedings.  Management believes the aggregate
   contingent liability, if any, will not materially affect the Company's
   financial position.

   The California franchise tax returns for the Company for the years 1977
   through 1979, 1983 and 1984 have been examined by the California Franchise
   Tax Board.  These examinations have resulted in the assessment of additional
   taxes, principally relating the tax treatment of direct financing leases.
   Due to the complex nature of the matter, it is not reasonably possible to
   predict the eventual outcome of this issue; however, management will continue
   to vigorously protest this assessment.  Management does not believe that the
   resolution of the issue will have a material adverse effect on the Company's
   financial position.

OVERVIEW

     Net income for the second quarter of 1995 was $4.2 million ($0.42 per
share), a 52.2% increase from the $2.7 million ($0.30 per share) reported for
the same period in 1994.  For the six months ended June 30, 1995 and 1994 net
income was $8.2 million ($0.82 per share) and $5.2 million ($0.56 per share),
respectively.

     The return on average assets for the three and six months ended June 30,
1995 was 1.20% and 1.19%, respectively, up from 1.04% and 1.00% for the like
periods in 1994.  Return on average shareholders' equity for the three and
six months ended June 30, 1995 was 13.92% and 13.74%, respectively, compared
to 10.21% and 9.71% for the comparable periods in 1994.

     On June 30, 1995, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of
First Community Bankshares, Inc., the holding company for Centennial Bank.
This acquisition was accounted for as a purchase and accordingly, the results
of operations, which are not material, will be included in the Company's
consolidated financial statements from the acquisition date.  On January 31,
1995, the Company acquired Bank of Livermore, in a transaction accounted for
as a pooling-of-interests.  Bank of Livermore is not material to the
consolidated financial condition or operating results of the Company, and
therefore, prior periods balances have not been restated.  However, 1995
amounts were adjusted to reflect the transaction as if it occurred January 1,
1995.  On December 2, 1994, the Company acquired Old Stone Bank of
California, F.S.B. (Old Stone), which was merged into an existing
subsidiary.  This transaction was accounted for using the purchase method.
Subsequent to the acquisition, the results of operations of Old Stone were
combined with the Company's.  When appropriate, this analysis discusses the
impact of these transactions so meaningful comparisons can be made.

     The following discusses significant areas, including the above mentioned
acquisitions, that have affected the Company's results of operations for the
three and six months ended June 30, 1995 as compared to the same periods in 1994
and financial condition at June 30, 1995 as compared to December 31, 1994.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

NET INTEREST INCOME

     Net interest income on a taxable-equivalent basis was $17.5 million and
$35.1 million for the three and six month periods, respectively,  of 1995,
compared with $14.1 million and $27.2 million for the like periods in 1994.
The increase in net interest income between these periods is primarily
attributable to increases in loan volume.  Average loans outstanding for the
second quarter of 1995 increased by $338.5 million (55.4%) compared to 1994
and $339.0 million (55.8%) for the first six months of 1995 compared to 1994.
 This increase was principally related to the Company's acquisitions.  Rising
interest rates also helped increase the yields on the Company's earning
assets but were offset by increases on deposit rates.  In addition, the
Company's interest-bearing liabilities volume also increased substantially in
1995 compared to 1994 which was also acquisition related.


                                      (10)

<PAGE>

     The net interest margin on a taxable-equivalent basis decreased to 5.36%
for the second quarter of 1995 and 5.44% for the six months ended June 30,
1995 compared with 5.77% and 5.64% for the same periods in 1994.  While the
average yield on the Company's earning assets have improved by 75 basis
points and 87 basis points, respectively, these increases have not kept pace
with the rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities, which increased 128
basis points in the second quarter of 1995 compared to 1994 and 116 basis
points for the first six months of 1995 compared to 1994.  The Company's
acquisitions and the competitive rate environment were the leading factors
that increased the Company's cost of funds during these periods.

     The following tables present the Company's consolidated average balance
sheets including average yields and rates on a taxable-equivalent basis for the
three and six month periods ended June 30, 1995 and 1994 (Table A) and the
approximate effect on net interest income of volume and rate changes from these
periods (Table B).  The change in interest due to both rate and volume has been
allocated to change due to rate and change due to volume in proportion to the
relationship of absolute dollar amounts of change in each.

</TABLE>


     At June 30, 1995, the allowance for loan losses was $15.1 million or
1.46% of total loans compared with $12.8 million or 1.40% at December 31,
1994 and $10.1 million or 1.61% at June 30, 1994.  The provision for loan
losses declined to $210,000 for the second quarter of 1995 from $585,000 for
the like period in 1994.  For the first six months of 1995 the provision was
$600,000 compared to $1.1 million in 1994.  Net charge-offs for second
quarter and first six months of 1995 were $552,000, (0.23%  of average total
loans, on an annualized basis) and $657,000 (0.14%), compared with $1.1
million (0.71%) and $2.1 million (0.69%) for the comparable periods in 1994.
At June 30, 1995, December 31, 1994 and June 30, 1994, the Company's ratio of
the allowance for loan losses to total nonperforming loans was 122%, 98% and
120%, respectively.

     The Company's determination of the allowance for loan losses and the
corresponding provision for loan losses is based on various judgments and
assumptions including, but not limited to, general economic conditions, the
composition of the loan portfolio, prior loss experience and estimates of
potential future losses.  In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an
integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Banks'
allowances for loan losses.


                                      (15)

<PAGE>

     The Company performs a quarterly assessment to determine the appropriate
level of the allowance for loans losses.  This process uses a series of
allocation methods including specific credit allocations for individual loans
and historical loss experience for each loan category and degree of criticism
within each category.  The total of these allocations is then supplemented by
the unallocated portion of the allowance for loan losses.  Based on management's
analysis of the Company's overall allowance for loan losses, management believes
that the provision for loan losses for 1995 is appropriate.  It is management's
opinion that the allowance for loan losses at June 30, 1995 is adequate to
provide for potential losses in the current loan portfolio.  No assurances can
be given that adverse economic conditions will not result in increased losses in
the Company's loan portfolio.

NONINTEREST INCOME
- ------------------

     Noninterest income for the second quarter and first six months of 1995 was
$2.3 million and $4.3 million, respectively, an increase of $534,000 and
$546,000 over the like periods in 1994. The components of noninterest income
were as follows:

     Service charges on deposit accounts increased $243,000 or (22.2%) and
$545,000 (25.8%), respectively, in 1995 compared to 1994.  This increase was
primarily related to deposit growth through  acquisitions.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE
- -------------------

     Total noninterest expense was $12.5 million for the second quarter of 1995
compared with $10.6 million for 1994.  For the first six months of 1995 total
noninterest expense was $24.9 million, a $3.7 million or 17.5% increase over the
same period in 1994.  The ratio of noninterest expense to operating revenue, on
a taxable-equivalent basis, excluding securities transactions, was 63.3% for
both the second quarter and first six months of 1995 compared with 66.8% and
68.4% for the like periods in 1994.

</TABLE>


     The increase in salaries and benefits for the periods presented in 1995
compared to 1994 is directly related to the Company's expansion, primarily
acquisition related.  The Company's full time equivalent staff numbered 657 at
June 30, 1995, this compares with 565 at June 30, 1994.

     The increase in occupancy, equipment, regulatory, banking forms and
stationery, communication and courier expenses in 1995 compared to 1994 is
primarily expansion related.  The Company at June 30, 1995 had 40 banking
locations, compared to 26 locations at June 30, 1994.

     The Company recently announced plans to re-focus on cost reduction and
revenue enhancement with a target efficiency ratio of 62% achieved by the
first quarter of 1996.  This goal will be achieved through on-going efforts
to enhance revenue growth while achieving operational efficiencies through
acquisition consolidation, re-engineering of work flows and normal employee
attrition.

INCOME TAXES
- ------------

     The provision for income taxes was $2.5 million for the second quarter of
1995 and $5.0 million for the first six months of 1995.  This compares with $1.6
million and $2.8 million, respectively, for the comparable periods in 1994.  The
effective tax rates for these periods in 1995 were 37.3% and 37.7%,
respectively.  The effective tax rates in 1994 were 35.9% and 35.0%.  The
increase in the Company's effective tax rate between these two periods is
primarily attributable to the decrease in nontaxable income in 1995 relative to
the Company's earnings.

FINANCIAL CONDITION
- -------------------

SECURITIES
- ----------

     The Company's securities portfolio increased by $16.9 million between
December 31, 1994 and June 30, 1995.  The increase was due to the addition of
$54.0 million in securities from 1995 acquisitions.  Excluding these
transactions, the Company had year to date maturities and repayments totaling
$45.3 million and $8.0 million in purchases.

     At June 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994, the held to maturity securities had
an estimated unrealized pretax loss of $2.2 million and $12.5 million,
respectively.

     At June 30, 1995, the available for sale securities portfolio had an
unrealized pretax loss of $43,000 or a net of tax loss of $22,000.  This net
loss has been reported as a separate component of shareholders' equity.  At
December 31, 1994 the pretax loss in this segment of the portfolio was $721,000
with a net of tax loss of $421,000.

     The amortized cost and estimated market value of securities excluding
equity securities, which have no contractual maturity, at June 30, 1995 by
contractual maturity are shown in the following table.  Actual maturities will
differ from contractual maturities because borrowers have the right to call or
prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.  For
asset/liability purposes, the Company monitors these securities with
consideration of prepayment assumptions.  Yields have been calculated by
dividing the taxable-equivalent interest income, including discount or premium
by the book value.  Yields on nontaxable securities of states and political
subdivisions were presented on a taxable-equivalent basis using a marginal tax
rate of 34%.

LOAN PORTFOLIO
- --------------

     The Company's loan portfolio consists primarily of commercial and
industrial loans, real estate 1-4 family residential properties, other
commercial real estate mortgages, construction and land development loans,
consumer installment loans and individual lines of credit.  The following table
presents the loan mix at June 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994:

</TABLE>

     The Company's loan portfolio increased by $119.7 million or 13.1% at
June 30, 1995 compared to December 31, 1994.  This increase was primarily
attributable to 1995 acquisitions.  Included in the commercial and industrial
loan totals were agricultural loans of $17.9 million and $18.8 million at
June 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994, respectively.  Agricultural loans
consist of loans to finance agricultural production and other loans to
farmers. Agricultural loans that are primarily secured by real estate
(farmland) are included in other real estate mortgages.

     The Company has historically been active in financing the construction and
development of residential properties.  The underwriting standards and
administrative guidelines regarding these credits are specific and stringent.
Although a significant percentage of the Company's nonperforming loans come from
this portion of the portfolio the Company has not historically suffered any
material losses in this area.


                                      (19)

<PAGE>

     Other real estate mortgages, the majority of which are commercial
properties, are another active market for the Company.  These credits are also
governed by stringent loan policies.  These credits are primarily owner occupied
business properties that are limited to specific types of properties.

     Inherent in any loan portfolio are risks associated with certain types of
loans.  The Company's objective is to limit these risks through strict loan
policies and review procedures.  Included in these policies are specific
loan-to-value (LTV) limitations as to various categories of real estate related
loans.  The Company has also established policies to limit the degree of
portfolio concentration in any product type or to any individual borrower.

NONACCRUAL LOANS, RESTRUCTURED LOANS AND FORECLOSED ASSETS
- ----------------------------------------------------------

     The following table presents the Company's nonaccrual and restructured
loans and foreclosed assets at June 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994.
Classification of a loan as nonaccrual or restructured does not necessarily
indicate the loan is not performing with respect to collection of principal and
interest nor does it mean that the principal of the loan is uncollectible in
whole or in part.

</TABLE>

     Effective January 1, 1995, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Account Standards No. 114 (SFAS No. 114), "Accounting by Creditors for
Impairment of a Loan", as amended by SFAS No. 118 (collectively referred to as
SFAS No. 114).  The adoption of SFAS No. 114 has not affected the Company's
policy for placing loans on nonaccrual status.  The Company generally identifies
loans to be evaluated for impairment when such loans are on nonaccrual or have
been restructured.  Loans are placed on nonaccrual status when full
collectibility of principal or interest is uncertain or when principal or
interest is past due for 90 days (unless the loan is well secured and in the
process of collection).  From the time a loan is placed on nonaccrual status,
interest previously accrued but not collected is reversed and charged against
interest income.  Any interest or principal payments received on a nonaccrual
loan is normally applied as a principal reduction.  A nonaccrual loan may be
restored to accrual status when none of its principal and interest is past


                                      (20)

<PAGE>

due and unpaid or when it otherwise becomes well secured and in the process of
collection.  In a case where a borrower experiences financial difficulties and
the Company makes certain concessionary modifications to contractual terms
(i.e., the reduction of either interest or principal or other such modifications
that the Company would not otherwise consider), the loan is classified as a
restructured loan.  If the borrower is not able to meet the revised payment
schedule and the loan becomes delinquent, the loan is placed on nonaccrual
status.

     The increase in nonaccrual loans between the two periods is primarily
acquisition related. Restructured loans are principally three credits, a
residential lot development loan (of which $1.6 million was reduced from the
December 31, 1994 balance) and two commercial real estate properties.  All loans
in this category are currently performing according to their respective revised
terms and are yielding a market rate.

     Foreclosed assets include property acquired through foreclosure.  These
properties are carried at the lower of (I) fair value less estimated costs to
sell or (ii) the recorded cost of the asset.  Upon foreclosure, any necessary
write-downs are charged to the allowance for loan losses.  The difference
between cost and fair value less estimated cost to sell, if lower, is recorded
as a valuation allowance.  Subsequent declines in the fair value of the property
are recorded as an addition to the valuation allowance.  The increase of $1.8
million in foreclosed assets between December 31, 1994 and June 30, 1995 was
entirely from residential properties, both single family homes and residential
lot developments.

     Loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing at June 30, 1995 were
$1.2 million, up $568,000 from the December 31, 1994 total of $659,000.  All
loans in this category are well secured or in the process of collection.

     Management is not aware of any significant potential problem loans which
have not otherwise been disclosed as a nonaccrual or restructured loan at June
30, 1995, in which there is known information about possible credit problems of
a borrower that has caused management to have serious doubts as to the ability
of such borrowers to comply with the present loan repayment terms.

DEPOSITS

     Total deposits increased to $1.38 billion at June 30, 1995 from $1.18
billion at December 31, 1994.  Average daily deposits, along with the average
rates paid thereon, for the three and six months ended June 30, 1995 and 1994 on

ASSET/LIABILITY MANAGEMENT
- --------------------------

     The Company has separate policies and guidelines for managing the Company's
balance sheet and off-balance sheet activities which are incorporated and
considered integral parts of the asset/liability management process.  Certain
policies may be governed and implemented by committees or persons other than the
Asset/Liability Committee (ALCO) as directed by the Board of Directors.  Overall
asset/liability management encompasses the management and monitoring of asset
quality, liquidity and capital needs and interest rate risk.

INTEREST RATE RISK
- ------------------

     One of the principal objectives of asset/liability management is to manage
the risks associated with changing interest rates and their impact on earnings.
The ALCO regularly evaluates and sets predetermined limits on the sensitivity of
each Bank's net interest income to changes in interest rates.

     Interest rate risk can be viewed from a variety of perspectives,
including the sensitivity of earnings to rate movements and the sensitivity
of the market value of the Company's equity to changes in interest rates.
One way to measure how a change in interest rates will impact net interest
income in specific time frames is through a cumulative gap analysis.
Traditional gap analysis represents interest rate risk in terms of the
mismatch between the stated repricing of the Company's earning assets and
interest-bearing liabilities within defined time periods.  As shown in the
following table, at June 30, 1995, the cumulative one-year contractual gap
for the Company was a negative $103.2 million, or (7.4%) of earning assets.
In other words, 7.4% of the Company's interest-bearing liabilities has the
potential to reprice or mature more quickly than its earning assets in one
year.

     Over the short period (one year or less) changes in interest rates affect
net interest income to the extent that there is a timing difference between the
repricing of assets and liabilities.  For instance, if more liabilities than
assets reprice during a time period, such as the Company's gap analysis
indicates, given a rising rate environment, net interest income will have a
tendency to decrease if the assets and liabilities reprice in rate by
approximately the same amount.  Conversely, if an institution is considered to
be asset sensitive, or as having a positive gap, when the amount of its
liabilities maturing or repricing is less than the amount of its assets also
maturing or repricing during the same period, net interest income would benefit
from a rising rate environment.  Generally, in a falling interest rate
environment, a


                                      (23)
<PAGE>

negative gap should result in an increase in net interest income, and in a
rising interest rate environment, a negative gap should adversely affect net
interest income.  The converse would be true for a positive gap.

     However, shortcomings are inherent in a simplified gap analysis that may
result in an institution with a nominally negative gap having interest rate
behavior associated with an asset sensitive balance sheet.  For example,
although certain assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or periods
to repricing, they may react in different degrees to changes in market interest
rates.  Furthermore, repricing characteristics of certain assets and liabilities
vary substantially within a given time period.  In the event of a change in
interest rates, prepayment and early withdrawal levels could also deviate
significantly from those assumed in calculating gap.  The Company attempts to
quantify these characteristics by taking into account the expected repricing or
maturities of earning assets and funding sources, as opposed to their
contractual maturities.

     Because net interest income is not necessarily a conclusive indication of
an institution's ongoing net worth, a second measure of interest rate risk - the
market value of portfolio equity (MVPE) is important.  This measure attempts to
quantify the ongoing worth of the institution by considering all cash flows,
regardless of their timing, and discounting these back to the present.  The
difference between the discounted assets less the discounted liabilities is the
present value of equity or the economic measure of the institution's net worth.

     These two approaches to interest rate risk measurement are complimentary
and are used in tandem by the individual Banks to provide a more complete
picture of the interest rate risk associated with their balance sheets.
Included in the Company's Asset/Liability Management Policy are limitations on
the maximum volatility each Bank may undertake associated with possible interest
rate movement.

LIQUIDITY
- ---------

     Liquidity is defined as the Company's ability to provide funds to meet
customers' loan and deposit needs and to fund operations in the most timely and
cost effective basis.  The Company's liquidity is measured and managed on a
individual bank basis.  The holding company (parent) is funded primarily by
dividends and management fee income from its subsidiaries.

     Core deposits have historically provided the Company with funding sources.
The Company also utilizes repurchase agreements.  In addition, the Banks have
informal federal funds borrowing arrangements with correspondents banks to meet
unforeseen deposit outflows.  At June 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994, the
Company's loan to deposit ratio was 74.6% and 77.4%, respectively.

CAPITAL
- -------

     The Company reviews various capital adequacy ratios on a quarterly basis to
ensure that each banking subsidiary and the consolidated Company are within
established internal and external guidelines.  The Company and its banking
subsidiaries are subject to risk-based capital regulations.


                                      (24)

<PAGE>

These guidelines are used to evaluate capital adequacy and are based on an
institution's balance sheet risk and off-balance sheet risk.  Current
regulations define capital adequacy into five categories; well capitalized,
adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly under capitalized and
critically undercapitalized.  Each of these capital categories have predefined
risk-based capital ratio minimums.  At June 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994, the
capital ratios of the Company exceeded the "well capitalized" threshold as
prescribed by banking regulators.  An institution's deposit insurance premiums
are determined through a matrix based on the institution's capital category and
supervisory subgroup.  Any reduction in an institution's capital category can
significantly increase premiums.

     The following table presents the Company's capital positions at June 30,
1995 and December 31, 1994, including the risk-based capital ratio and leverage
ratio.

Item 2.  CHANGES IN SECURITIES
         ---------------------

     On June 30, 1995, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a dividend
of one preferred share purchase right (a "Right") for each outstanding share of
common stock, par value $2.50 per share (the "Common Shares"), of the Company.
Each Right entitles the registered holder to purchase from the Company one
one-hundredth of a share of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock, no
par value (the "Preferred Shares"), of the Company at a price of $75 per one
one-hundredth of a Preferred Share (the "Purchase Price"), subject to
adjustment.  The description and terms of the Rights are set forth in a Rights
Agreement dated as of June 30, 1995 (the "Rights Agreement") between the Company
and First Interstate Bank of California, as Rights agent (the "Rights Agent").
A copy of the Rights Agreement is on file with the Commission.  Because of the
nature of the dividend, liquidation and voting rights of the Preferred Shares,
the value of the one one-hundredth interest in a Preferred Share purchasable
upon exercise of each Right should approximate the value of one Common Share.

     In the event that any person or group of affiliated persons (an "Acquiring
Person") becomes the beneficial owner of 10% or more of the outstanding Common
Shares (except in a transaction approved by the independent directors of the
Company), each holder of a Right, other than Rights beneficially owned by the
Acquiring Person (which will thereafter be void), will thereafter have the right
to receive upon exercise that number of Common Shares (or, in the event that
there are insufficient authorized Common Shares, substitute consideration such
as cash, property, or other securities of the Company, including Preferred
Shares) having a market value of two times the exercise price of the Right.  The
effect is to provide for substantial dilution of the shares held by the
Acquiring Person; this will in turn encourage potential acquirors to discuss
their intentions with the Board of Directors and allow the Board to play an
active role in a transaction that may affect the value of stockholder interests.
