                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                              September 30, 1995
                                 (Unaudited)





(1)  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

    West  Coast Bancorp entered into a definitive agreement on June 22, 1994
    to  sell Sacramento First National Bank ("Sacramento First") to Business
    &  Professional Bank ("B&PB").  The sale subsequently closed on  January
    20,  1995.  All assets and liabilities of Sacramento First are  included
    in  "Net assets held for sale" at December 31, 1994.  Sacramento First's
    operating  results  were  included in  the  consolidated  statements  of
    operations for all periods through June 30, 1994.  As part of the  sales
    agreement  with  B&PB, West Coast received 243,000 shares  or  14.5%  of
    B&PB  then  outstanding common shares upon closing the Sacramento  First
    sale.   B&PB  stock was recorded at approximate market value on  January
    20,  1995,  and  is  included  in  "Net  assets  held  for  sale."   See
    "Management's   discussion  and  analysis  -  general"  for   additional
    details.

    The    unaudited   consolidated   financial   statements   reflect   all
    adjustments,  consisting  primarily  of  normal  recurring  adjustments,
    which  are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement
    of  the results of operations for the interim periods.  Results for  the
    nine  and three month periods ended September 30, 1995 and 1994 are  not
    necessarily  indicative of results which may be expected for  any  other
    interim   period,  or  for  the  year  as  a  whole.   All   significant
    intercompany balances have been eliminated.

(2)  RECLASSIFICATIONS

     Certain reclassifications have been made in the 1994 financial
     statements to conform to the presentation in 1995.

(3)  NET LOSS PER SHARE

    The  stock options and 10% convertible subordinated debentures were  not
    included  in  the  net loss per share computations as the  effect  would
    have  been  anti-dilutive.  Fully diluted loss  per  share  approximates
    primary loss per share.

               MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                      CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                              SEPTEMBER 30, 1995




The   following   presents  management's  discussion  and  analysis   of   the
consolidated  financial condition and operating results of West Coast  Bancorp
(as  a  separate  entity "West Coast" and together with its  subsidiaries  the
"Company") for the nine and three month periods ended September 30,  1995  and
1994.   The  discussion  should  be  read in conjunction  with  the  Company's
consolidated  financial  statements  and  the  accompanying  notes   appearing
elsewhere in this report.

GENERAL

The  Company posted losses of $666,000 or $.07 per share and $342,000 or  $.04
per  share  during  the  nine  and  three months  ended  September  30,  1995,
respectively,  as compared with $4,052,000 or $.44 per share and  $630,000  or
$.07  per  share during the same respective periods in 1994.  The  net  losses
narrowed in 1995 as losses from the nonperforming assets were reduced  despite
the continued weak economy and depressed real estate values.

On  June  22, 1994, West Coast announced the signing of a definitive agreement
among  Business & Professional Bank ("B&PB"), Sacramento First  National  Bank
("Sacramento  First"),  and West Coast providing for the  acquisition  of  its
majority  owned  subsidiary, Sacramento First by B&PB.   The  transaction  was
completed on January 20, 1995 and provided West Coast with approximately  $3.6
million  of  cash, approximately 243,500 shares of B&PB's common stock  and  a
contingent  cash payment of up to $940,000 that may be received by West  Coast
from  three  to  five  years after the sale date based on the  performance  of
Sacramento  First's  loan portfolio and real estate  owned.   All  assets  and
liabilities of Sacramento First are included in "Net assets held for sale"  at
December 31, 1994.  Sacramento First's operating results were included in  the
consolidated statements of operations for all periods through June  30,  1994.
Subsequent  to  June  30, 1994, no amounts relating to Sacramento  First  were
included  in  any  category  of the Company's ending  balance  sheet,  average
balance sheet and income statement except as noted above.

Exclusive of Sacramento First's earnings, the Company's losses would have been
$2,464,000 and $630,000 for the nine and three months ended September 30, 1994
as  compared  with the $666,000 and $342,000 losses for the  same  periods  in
1995.

The Company had total assets, loans and deposits as follows (in thousands):

                      CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                              SEPTEMBER 30, 1995




The  1994 reductions resulted primarily from the accounting treatment for  the
sale of Sacramento First and secondarily from a decrease in loans due to lower
loan  demand,  more  stringent underwriting standards, and  Sunwest's  capital
position and regulatory orders.  Sunwest is operating under an Order to  Cease
and Desist (the "C&D Order") from the FDIC and an order from the State Banking
Department  (the  "State Order").  Both orders require,  among  other  things,
maintenance of certain capital levels.

During  1993 Sunwest became "undercapitalized" and during part of 1994 Sunwest
was  "significantly  undercapitalized"  under  the  prompt  corrective  action
provisions of the FDIC Improvement Act.  This made it difficult for Sunwest to
compete with other financial institutions for deposits and loans.

In January 1995, West Coast used the cash proceeds from the sale of Sacramento
First  to  repay  $3.4 million of management fees to Sunwest.  This  increased
Sunwest's capital ratios to amounts necessary for a depository institution  to
be  "well  capitalized"  under  the  prompt  action  provisions  of  the  FDIC
Improvement  Act.   However, because Sunwest is still  subject  to  regulatory
agreements  it  can  only  be deemed "adequately capitalized."   See  "Capital
Resources   and   Dividends."   Despite  Sunwest's  current   capital   level,
significant asset growth is not anticipated and further declines may occur.

Further, West Coast's liquidity is limited.  In the event West Coast is unable
to  raise funds to increase its liquidity, West Coast may not be able to  meet
its current obligations and may be forced into bankruptcy.  If this event were
to occur, West Coast shareholders could suffer the elimination of the value of
their investments in the Company.  See "Liquidity - the Parent Company."

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

GENERAL

The  1995  losses  were  lower than the 1994 losses (exclusive  of  Sacramento
First) because of reduced loan losses and cost control efforts implemented  at
Sunwest.

NET INTEREST INCOME

Net  interest income decreased $4.3 million or 45% from the first nine  months
of 1994 to the same period in 1995 because of the sale of Sacramento First and
reduced loan volumes at Sunwest.  The sale of Sacramento First resulted  in  a
$3.2  million  decrease  in  net interest income for  the  nine  months  ended
September  30,  1995 versus 1994.  Average loans at Sunwest decreased  by  $35
million or 30% from the first nine months of 1994 to the first nine months  of
1995.

Average  earning  assets  and average interest-bearing  liabilities  decreased
primarily  as a result of the sale of Sacramento First.  Excluding  Sacramento
First  from  all periods, average earning assets would have decreased  by  $28
million and average interest-bearing liabilities would have decreased  by  $24
million  for  the  nine month periods ended September 30,  1995  versus  1994,
respectively.

           ==================================================================


The  declines  in  net interest income resulted primarily  from  the  sale  of
Sacramento  First  and  volume  declines  in  average  earning  assets  offset
partially by general market rate increases.

Loans on which the accrual of interest had been discontinued at September  30,
1995  and 1994 amounted to $2,965,000 and $5,931,000, respectively.  If  these
loans  had  been  current throughout their terms, it  is  estimated  that  net
interest income would have increased by approximately $126,000 and $166,000 in
the  third quarter of 1995 and 1994, respectively.  This would have raised the
net  yield  on  interest-earning  assets  and  the  net  interest  margin   by
approximately  46  and 51 basis points during the third quarter  of  1995  and
1994, respectively.

For  the nine months ended September 30, 1995 versus 1994 the yield on earning
assets increased from 8.47% to 9.44%.  This increase was primarily a result of
general  increases in market rates including the 300 basis  point  prime  rate
increase  from  March 1994 to March 1995.  Yields have stabilized  during  the
third  quarter  of  1995 and are expected to remain stable  or  decrease  with
general  market  rate  decreases.   The rate on  interest-bearing  liabilities
increased by 115 basis points from the first nine months of 1994 to the  first
nine  months  of  1995 as time deposits have matured and  re-repriced  at  the
higher  current  market rate.  This trend is not expected  to  continue  as  a
result  of  recent market rate declines and most term deposits already  having
repriced  near current rates.  The rate on other interest-bearing  liabilities
increased  significantly during the third quarter of 1995 because of  year-to-
date  adjustments for a facility lease that was reclassified from an operating
lease  to  a  capital  lease and the recognition of past interest  on  a  note
payable  entered into during the third quarter for settlement  of  a  judgment
with  a  former  officer.  The rate on other interest-bearing  liabilities  is
expected to be approximately 14% during the fourth quarter of 1995.

                                   ========================================


The  provision  for possible credit losses was lower during  the  nine  and
three  months ended September 30, 1995 than in the same respective  periods
in  1994, reflecting the reduced charge-offs, lower levels of nonperforming
loans  and  the  sale of Sacramento First.  Sunwest's net  charge-offs  and
provision  decreased by $1,199,000 and $2,362,000 respectively  during  the
nine months ended September 30, 1995 versus 1994.

Management  believes  that  the allowance for  possible  credit  losses  at
September  30, 1995 of $3,610,000 or 4.64% of loans was adequate to  absorb
known and inherent risks in the Company's credit portfolio.

Nonperforming assets have decreased from $18.8 million at December 31, 1993
to  $6.0  million  at  September 30, 1995.  The sale  of  Sacramento  First
accounted  for $1,211,000 of the nonperforming loan decrease and $3,173,000
of the nonperforming asset decrease from December 31, 1993 to September 30,
1994.   While the levels of nonperforming assets as a percentage of  assets
have  improved during 1995, they remain at high levels.  This was primarily
caused by the current economic environment and depressed real estate values
in   southern   California.   While  significant   progress   in   reducing
nonperforming assets has been made, until such time as the current economic
environment  and  real estate values improve, the Company may  continue  to
experience moderately high levels of nonperforming assets, charge-offs  and
provisions for possible credit losses.

Restructured  loans which were performing substantially in accordance  with
their   modified   terms  totaled  $3,253,000  at   September   30,   1995.
Restructured  loans  totaling  $1,672,000  were  on  nonaccrual  status  at
September 30, 1995.

OTHER OPERATING INCOME

Other  operating income decreased by $1,562,000 and $199,000 for  the  nine
and three months ended September 30, 1995 as compared with the same periods
in  1994.   See  notes  (1) and (5) of the notes to consolidated  financial
statements.    Exclusive  of  Sacramento  First,  other  operating   income
decreased  $1,025,000 for the nine months ended September 30,  1995  versus
1994.   This was primarily caused by Sunwest recording a $536,000  gain  on
the  sale  of  its  non-guaranteed portion of SBA loans during  the  second
quarter  of  1994.   Sunwest  has elected not to  sell  the  non-guaranteed
portion  of  SBA  loans in 1995.  The remaining year-to-date  decrease  was
caused by lower deposit balances and lower SBA activity at Sunwest.

Salaries  decreased  $2,200,000 and $69,000 for the nine  and  three  months
ended  September  30,  1995  versus the  same  periods  in  1994.   Salaries
decreased  at Sunwest by $723,000 for the nine month period as a  result  of
the  28%  staff  reduction  during the second  quarter  of  1994.   Salaries
decreased $1,412,000 as a result of selling Sacramento First.  Occupancy for
the  first  nine  months decreased by $594,000; $322,000  was  a  result  of
selling  Sacramento  First and the remaining difference was  primarily  from
renegotiating various leases at Sunwest.  Collection expenses  decreased  by
$461,000  of which $417,000 occurred at Sunwest.  Sunwest's decrease  was  a
result  of  significant  cost control efforts and  a  $195,000  recovery  of
previously  charged  expenses.   All other  noninterest  expenses  decreased
$1,289,000  for  the  nine  months  ended September  30,  1995  versus  1994
primarily from the sale of Sacramento First.

INCOME TAXES

The  Company  did not record any significant income tax expense  or  benefit
during  the  nine  or three months ended September 30,  1995  or  1994.   No
significant income tax expense is expected during 1995.

LIQUIDITY

The Company

Liquidity, as it relates to banking, represents the ability to obtain funds to
meet  loan  commitments  and to satisfy demand for deposit  withdrawals.   The
principal sources of funds that provide liquidity to West Coast's subsidiaries
are  maturities  of  investment securities and loans,  collections  on  loans,
increased deposits and temporary borrowings.  The Company's liquid asset ratio
(the  sum  of  cash,  investments available-for-sale and  Federal  funds  sold
divided by total assets) was 23% at September 30, 1995 and December 31,  1994.
The  Company believes it has sufficient liquid resources, as well as available
credit facilities, to enable it to meet its operating needs.

THE PARENT COMPANY

West  Coast's liquidity is limited.  West Coast has relied on sales of  assets
and  borrowings  from  officers/directors as sources of liquidity.   Dividends
from  subsidiaries ordinarily provide a source of liquidity to a bank  holding
company.  Sunwest is prohibited from paying cash dividends by the C&D and  the
state order without the prior consent of the regulatory agencies.

During the first nine months of 1995 West Coast did not receive any management
fees  or  dividends  from its subsidiaries.  West Coast  does  not  expect  to
receive management fees or dividends from its subsidiaries throughout 1995.

West  Coast received $3.5 million of cash, net of selling expenses,  from  the
sale  of  Sacramento First.  West Coast immediately transferred  $3.4  million
into Sunwest as a repayment of previously paid management fees.  On March  23,
1995,  West Coast sold 50,000 shares of B&PB stock.  Of the total proceeds  of
$387,000,  $200,000 was infused as capital in Sunwest on March  30,  1995  and
$100,000  was  infused during May 1995.  Sales of other property  resulted  in
$161,000  of cash receipts in July 1995.  An additional sale is forecasted  to
provide $50,000 during the remainder of 1995.

On  July 11, 1995 WCV, Inc. applied to the California Underground Storage Tank
Cleanup  Fund ("USTF") for a $680,000 reimbursement of certain costs  incurred
to  remediate a property.  In early November 1995 the USTF informed WCV,  Inc.
that  approximately $475,000 will be reimbursed to WCV, Inc. during the fourth
quarter  of  1995.   Approximately  $10,000 was  deemed  ineligible  with  the
remaining  $195,000  subject  to further review.   Upon  receipt  of  payment,
reimbursements will be recorded as a reversal of the previously expensed  loss
on  liquidation of WCV, Inc.  The eventual resolution of the pending claim  is
dependent  on  further review of the claim and balances in the  state  cleanup
fund  available  for  disbursement.  No estimate of the amount  or  timing  of
reimbursements can be made at this time.

West  Coast  anticipates cash expenditures during the  remainder  of  1995  to
consist  of  debt service payments, advances to WCV, Inc. and other  operating
expenses.   West Coast's projected debt service includes a quarterly  interest
payment on the 10% subordinated debentures of $76,000.  A portion of the notes
payable to affiliates are currently secured by, and scheduled to be repaid  by
sales proceeds totaling $50,000 from the other property sales mentioned above.
Advances to WCV, Inc. are forecasted at $250,000 primarily for restoration  of
the  real estate owned.  West Coast anticipates that other operating expenses,
will  be  approximately $90,000 during the remainder of 1995, of which $50,000
relates to salaries and directors' fees that are currently being deferred.  An
agreement  for  payment of judgment was entered in favor of a  former  officer
totaling  $388,000 and due on April 12, 1996.  The agreement  required,  among
other  things, West Coast to place nine shares (9%) of Sunwest stock in escrow
to  secure payment of said judgment and that one third of any amount  refunded
by  the  USTF  be  paid to the former officer as partial  settlement  of  this
judgment.

A  cash  shortfall is anticipated unless additional cash can be raised.   West
Coast  may  elect  to  raise  additional cash by limiting  repayments  of  the
affiliate debt or interest payments on the subordinated debt, and/or incurring
additional  debt.  West Coast may not incur debt without the approval  of  the
Federal Reserve Board.  West Coast is considering selling additional shares of

B&PB  stock, however pursuant to agreement with B&PB, West Coast can  sell  no
additional shares of B&PB without B&PB's consent until January 20, 1996.  Even
if  B&PB  was to consent to sale of some additional shares, proceeds  of  such
sale  would  become  security for West Coast's guarantee of Sunwest's  capital
plan  as  all shares of B&PB stock and proceeds thereof are pledged to Sunwest
to  secure  such obligation.  No assurances can be given that the  FDIC  would
permit Sunwest to release the collateral to West Coast.

In  the  event West Coast is unable to raise funds to increase its  liquidity,
West  Coast may not be able to meet its current obligations and may be  forced
into  bankruptcy.  If this event were to occur, West Coast shareholders  could
suffer the elimination of the value of their investments in the Company.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND DIVIDENDS

The  following  table sets forth the tier 1 and total risk-based  capital  and
leverage ratios as of September 30, 1995 for the Company and Sunwest:

The Company                                 6.13%     8.14%     4.50%

Regulatory minimum                          4.00      8.00      4.00  (a)


(a) Sunwest  is  subject to the C&D Order from the FDIC that requires  Sunwest
    to  achieve  a  leverage ratio of 6.5% and is subject to  a  substantially
    similar State Order.

On  January  20,  1995,  Sunwest  received  a  repayment  of  previously  paid
management  fees totaling $3.4 million from West Coast and on March  30,  1995
Sunwest  received an additional $200,000 from West Coast increasing  Sunwest's
leverage  ratio  to  above the 6.5% level required by the  regulatory  orders.
These  amounts  increase Sunwest's capital ratios to levels  necessary  for  a
depository  institution  to  be "well capitalized"  under  the  prompt  action
provisions  of  the FDIC Improvement Act.  However, because Sunwest  is  still
subject   to   regulatory  agreements  it  can  only  be  deemed   "adequately
capitalized."   Sunwest received an additional $100,000 capital infusion  from
West Coast during May 1995.

Management   believes  Sunwest  is  now  in  compliance  with  the  regulatory
agreements  and orders as set forth in the capital plan Sunwest  submitted  to
the  FDIC,  pursuant to the prompt corrective action provisions  of  the  FDIC
Improvement  Act,  which  is guaranteed by West Coast.   The  amount  of  such
guaranty is limited to the lesser of (i) 5% of Sunwest's total assets  at  Sep
tember  30, 1993, the date the FDIC deemed Sunwest to have notice that it  was
undercapitalized or (ii) the amount which is necessary to bring  Sunwest  into
compliance with all applicable capital standards at the time Sunwest fails  to
comply with the capital restoration plan.

The  Company  had  no  material commitments for  capital  expenditures  as  of
September 30, 1995.
