MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF OPERATIONS


Net Income

Net income for the first six months in 1997 of $1,258,000 was $310,000 greater
than the first six months in 1996.  This represented a return on average 
assets during this period of 1.36% and a return on average equity of 14.82%.
The return on average assets during the first six months of 1996 was 1.28%
and a return on average equity was 12.59%.

Net income for the three months ending June 30, 1997, of $667,000 was $182,000 
over the comparable period in 1996.  The return on average assets during the 
second quarter was 1.37% and the return on average equity was 15.44%.
The return on average assets during the second quarter of 1996 was 1.32%
and the return on average equity was 12.81%.

Earning assets averaged $172,222,000 during the six months ended June 30, 
1997, as compared to $135,158,000 for the comparable period in 1996.  Earning 
assets averaged $181,129,000 during the second quarter of 1997 as compared to 
$136,584,000 during the second quarter of 1996.

Earnings per average common and common equivalent shares, adjusted for the 10% 
stock dividend declared March 31, 1997 and on July 23, 1996 (this includes any 
dilutive effect of unexercised options outstanding) was $0.98 for the first 
six months of 1997 as compared to $0.77 for the first six months of 1996.  For 
the second quarter of 1997, earnings per average common and common equivalent 
shares was $0.52 as compared to $0.39 for the second quarter of 1996.


Net Interest Income

Interest income represents the interest earned by the Corporation on its 
portfolio of loans, investment securities, and other short term investments.  
Interest expense represents interest paid to the Corporation's depositors, as 
well as to others from whom the Corporation borrows funds on a temporary 
basis.

Net interest income is the difference between interest income on earning 
assets and interest expense on deposits and other borrowed funds.  The volume 
of loans and deposits and interest rate fluctuations caused by economic 
conditions greatly affect net interest income.

Net interest income during the first six months of 1997 was $5,745,000 or 
$1,304,000 greater than the comparable period in 1996.  This increase was 
primarily the result of an increase in the volume of loans outstanding during 
the 1997  period as compared to 1996.  Of this increase 96% was the result of 
increased volume and only 4% to an increase in the net interest rate spread.

Net interest income during the three months ending June 30, 1997 was 
$2,998,000 or $729,000 greater than the comparable period in 1996.  As with 
the six months results, the change is related to volume increases rather than 
net interest margin changes.  Of the increase, 94% was related to volume and 
6% to rates.

Provision for Credit Losses

An allowance for credit losses is maintained at a level considered adequate to 
provide for losses that can be reasonably anticipated and is in accordance
with SFAS 114.  The allowance is increased by provisions charged to expense
and reduced by net charge-offs.  Management continually evaluates the
economic climate, the performance of borrowers, and other conditions to
determine the adequacy of the allowance.

The ratio of the allowance for credit losses to total loans as of June 30, 
1997 was 1.60% as compared to 1.70% for the period ending June 30, 1996.  This 
reflects a conservative attitude on the part of management and is considered 
adequate to provide for potential future losses.

The Corporation had net loan losses of $38,000 during the first six months of 
1997 as compared to a net loss of $13,000 during the comparable period in 
1996.

The following table provides information on past due and nonaccrual loans:

                                             For the Six months Ended
                                                     June 30,         
                                                1997              1996
Loans Past Due 90 Days or More            $  479,000        $       --
Nonaccrual Loans                             428,000            92,000
Total                                     $  907,000        $   92,000


As of June 30, 1997 and 1996, no loans were outstanding that had been 
restructured.  No interest earned on nonaccrual loans that was recorded in 
income during 1997 remains uncollected.  Interest foregone on nonaccrual loans 
was approximately $24,000 and $15,000 as of June 30, 1997 and 1996 
respectively.


Noninterest Income

Noninterest income during the first six months of 1997 of $785,000 was 
$111,000 greater than earned during the comparable period of 1996.  This was 
reflected in increases in most areas of noninterest income and fees and is 
commensurate with the Corporation's growth.

During the second quarter of 1997 noninterest income of $388,000 was $62,000 
greater than earned during the comparable quarter of 1996.  The same reasons 
applicable for the first six months apply to the second quarter results.


Noninterest Expense

Total noninterest expenses of $4,071,000 during the first six months of 1997 
are $602,000 over the comparable period in 1996.  The major categories of this 
are detailed below.

Salaries and related benefits are $471,000 greater during the first six months 
of 1997 as compared to 1996. This increase is related to award bonuses paid to 
staff and officers plus staffing increases and general merit increases related 
to the Corporation's growth and expanding operations.  Staff FTE (full time 
equivalency) averaged 78.8 during the first six months of 1997 as compared to 
68.5 for the comparable 1996 period.
<PAGE>

Occupancy expense increased $23,000 during the respective periods due to the 
Corporation's new Fremont office, plus rental adjustments and operating 
expense increases on other office facilities.

Total furniture and equipment expense decreased $22,000 between the respective 
periods.  The primary reason for the higher expense in 1996, was the write 
down of the Bank's primary computer system and its replacement with a newer 
model.

Other expense increased $130,000 between the respective periods and is related 
to general increases in growth and activity.

During the second quarter of 1997 the Corporation had a total of $2,054,000 in 
noninterest expense which was $298,000 over the comparable quarter of 1996.  
This increase was primarily attributed to increases in salary and related 
benefits expenses for the same reasons as given above regarding the increase 
in the six month operating results.


Other Real Estate Owned

As of June 30, 1997 the Corporation had no Other Real Estate Owned assets 
(assets acquired as the result of foreclosure on real estate collateral) on 
its books.


Capital Adequacy

In 1989, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) established risk-
based capital guidelines requiring banks to maintain certain ratios of 
"qualifying capital" to "risk-weighted assets".  Under the guidelines, 
qualifying capital is classified into two Tiers, referred to as Tier 1 (core) 
and Tier 2 (supplementary) capital.  Currently, the bank's Tier 1 capital 
consists of shareholders' equity, while Tier 2 capital consists of the 
eligible allowance for credit losses.  The Bank has no subordinated notes or 
debentures included in its capital.  Risk-weighted assets are calculated by 
applying risk percentages specified by the FDIC to categories of both balance-
sheet assets and off-balance-sheet assets.

The Bank's Tier 1 and Total (which included Tier 1 and Tier 2) risk-based 
capital ratios surpassed the regulatory minimum of 8% at June 30, for both 
1997 and 1996.  At year-end 1990, the FDIC also adopted a leverage ratio 
requirement.  This ratio supplements the risk-based capital ratios and is 
defined as Tier 1 capital divided by the quarterly average assets during the 
reporting period.  The requirement established a minimum leverage ratio of 3% 
for the highest rated banks.

The following table shows the Corporation's risk-based capital ratios and 
leverage ratio as of June 30, 1997, December 31, 1996, and June 30, 1996.

Liquidity

Liquidity is a key aspect in the overall fiscal health of a financial 
corporation.  The primary source of liquidity for BWC Financial Corp. is its 
marketable securities and Federal Funds sold.  Cash, investment securities and 
other temporary investments represented 26% of total assets at June 30, 1997 
and 27% at June 30, 1996.  The Corporation's management has an effective asset 
and liability management program and carefully monitors its liquidity on a 
continuing basis.  Additionally, the Corporation has available from 
correspondent banks Federal Fund lines of credit totaling $13,000,000.


General

Total assets of the Corporation at June 30, 1997 of $203,559,000 have 
increased $55,142,000 or 37% as compared to June 30, 1996.  Total loans of 
$148,556,000 have increased $41,661,000 or 39% and total deposits of 
$184,021,000 have increased $52,961,000 or 39%.

The Corporation's loan to deposit ratio as of June 30, 1997 and 1996 was 81% 
on both dates.

INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY
(in thousands except share and per share data)
<FN>
Proper management of the rate sensitivity and maturities of assets and liabilities is required
to provide an optimum and stable net interest margin.  Interest rate sensitivity spread management
is an important tool for achieving  this objective and for developing strategies and means to
improve profitability.  The schedules shown below reflect the interest rate sensitivity position
of the Corporation as of June 30, 1997.  Management believes that the sensitivity ratios
reflected in these schedules fall within acceptable ranges, and represent no undue interest rate
