                 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                For the six months ended June 30, 1998, and 1997

1.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. See Note 1 of the Notes to
     Consolidated Financial Statements in CVB Financial Corp.'s 1997 Annual
     Report.

     Goodwill resulting from purchase accounting treatment of acquired banks is
     amortized on a straight line basis over 15 years.

     The Bank accounts for impaired loans in accordance with Financial 
     Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for 
     Impairment of a Loan,"as amended by SFAS No. 118, "Accounting by Creditors
     for Impairment of a Loan -- Income Recognition and Disclosures." Impaired
     loans totaled $6.7 million at June 30, 1998. Of this total, $6.0 million, 
     for 89.66%, represented loans that were supported by collateral with a fair
     market value, net of prior liens, of $11.0 million. At June 30, 1998,
     $693,000, or 10.34%, of total impaired loans represented loans for which
     repayment was projected to come from cash flows.

2.   Certain reclassifications have been made in the 1997 financial information
     to conform to the presentation used in 1998.

3.   In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into commitments to
     extend credit to its customers. These commitments are not reflected in the
     accompanying consolidated financial statements. As of June 30, 1998, the 
     Company had entered into commitments with certain customers amounting to 
     $187.2 million compared to $153.7 million at December 31, 1997. Letters of
     credit at June 30, 1998, and December 31, 1997, were $8.3 million and $7.9
     million, respectively.

4.   The interim consolidated financial statements are unaudited and reflect all
     adjustments and reclassifications which, in the opinion of management, are
     necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations and financial
     condition for the interim period. All adjustments and reclassifications are
     of a normal and recurring nature. Results for the period ending June 30,
     1998, are not necessarily indicative of results which may be expected for 
     any other interim period or for the year as a whole.

5.   The actual number of shares outstanding at June 30, 1998, was 15,036,681.
     Basic earnings per share are calculated on the basis of the weighted
     average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings 
     per share are calculated on the basis of the weighted average number of
     shares outstanding during the period plus shares issuable upon the assumed
     exercise of outstanding common stock options. All 1997 per share 
     information in the financial statements and in Management's Discussion and
     Analysis has been restated to give retroactive effect to the 3-for-2 stock
     split declared on December 17, 1997. The tables below present the 
     reconciliation of earnings per share for the periods indicated.

6.   Supplemental cash flow information. During the six-month period ended June
     30, 1998, loans amounting to $2.5 million were transferred to Other Real
     Estate Owned ("OREO") as a result of foreclosure on the real properties 
     held as collateral.

7.   In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
     Instruments and Hedging Activities," effective for fiscal years beginning 
     after June 15, 1999. This Statement establishes accounting and reporting
     standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative
     instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. The 
     Company does not believe that the adoption of SFAS No. 133 will have a 
     material impact on its operations and financial position.

                              RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     The Company reported net earnings of $9.8 million for the six months ended
June 30, 1998. This represented an increase of $2.7 million, or 38.62%, over net
earnings of $7.1 million, for the six months ended June 30, 1997. Basic earnings
per share for the six month period increased to $0.65 per share for 1998,
compared to $0.47 per share for 1997. Diluted earnings per share increased to
$0.63 per share for the first six months of 1998, compared to $0.45 per share
for the same six month period last year. The annualized return on average assets
increased to 1.52% for the first half of 1998 compared to a return on average
assets of 1.26% for the six months ended June 30, 1997. The annualized return on
average equity was 18.39% for the six months ended June 30, 1998, compared to a
return of 15.45% for the six months ended June 30, 1997.

     For the second quarter of 1998, the Company generated net earnings of $5.1
million. This represented an increase of $1.3 million, or 35.38%, over earnings
of $3.8 million, for the second quarter of 1997. Basic earnings per share
increased to $0.34 per share for the most recent quarter, compared to $0.25 per
share for the second quarter of last year. Diluted earnings per share increased
to $0.32 per share for the second quarter of 1998, compared to $0.24 per share
for the same three month period for 1997. The annualized return on average
assets was 1.52% for the second quarter of 1998, compared to a return of 1.31%
for the second quarter of 1997. The annualized return on average equity was

     Pre-tax operating earnings, which exclude the impact of gains or losses on
sale of securities and OREO, and the provisions for credit and OREO losses,
totaled $17.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 1998, This represented
an increase of $3.2 million, or 22.45%, compared to operating earnings of $14.2
million for the first half of 1997. For the second quarter of 1998, pre-tax
operating earnings totaled $8.4 million. This represented an increase of
$957,000, or 12.78%, over pre-tax operating earnings of $7.5 million for the
second quarter of 1997.

Net Interest Income/Net Interest Margin

     The principal component of the Company's earnings is net interest income,
which is the difference between the interest and fees earned on loans and
investments and the interest paid on deposits and other borrowed funds. When net
interest income is expressed as a percentage of average earning assets, the
result is the net interest margin. The net interest spread is the yield on
average earning assets minus the average cost of interest-bearing deposits and
borrowed funds.

     For the six months ended June 30, 1998, net interest income was $32.1
million. This represented an increase of $3.5 million, or 12.31%, over net
interest income of $28.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997.
Although net interest income increased, the net interest margin decreased to
5.57% for the six months ended June 30, 1998, compared to 5.90% for the six
months ended June 30, 1997. In addition, the net interest spread decreased to
4.10% for the six months ended June 30, 1998, compared to a spread of 4.63% for
the six months ended June 30, 1997.

     The increase in net interest income for the most recent six months period
was the result of an increased volume of average earning assets. Earning assets
averaged $1.2 billion for the first six months of 1998. This represented an
increase of $196.7 million, or 20.00%, compared to average earning assets of
$983.4 million for the first six months of 1997. The decrease in the net
interest margin for the six months ended June 30, 1998 compared to the first six
months of 1997 was the result of a lower yield on average earning assets. The
decrease in the net interest spread resulted as the yield on average earning
assets decreased and the cost of interest bearing liabilities increased.

     Similarly, net interest income increased for the second quarter of 1998,
compared to the second quarter of 1997. For the second quarter of 1998, net
interest income totaled $16.2 million. This represented an increase of $1.8
million, or 12.16%, over net interest income of $14.5 million for the second
quarter of 1997. The increases in net interest income for the second quarter of
this year also resulted from an increased volume in average earning assets. For
the second quarter of 1997, earning assets, averaged $1.2 billion. This
represented an increase of $213.0 million, or 21.17%, over average earning
assets of $1.0 billion for the second quarter of 1997. The net interest margin
decreased to 5.47% for the second quarter of 1998, compared to a net interest
margin of 5.84% for the second quarter of 1997. Again, the decrease in the net
interest margin was the result of a lower yield on average earning assets. The
net interest spread decreased to 4.00% for the second quarter of 1998, compared
to a spread of 4.54% for the second quarter of 1997.

     The Company reported total interest income of $46.7 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1998. This represented an increase of $6.3 million, or
15.62%, over total interest income of $40.4 million for the six months ended
June 30, 1997. The increase reflected the greater volume of earning assets noted
above. The yield on average total earning assets decreased to 8.05% for the six
months ended June 30, 1998, from a yield of 8.31% for the six months ended June
30, 1997.

     The decrease in the yield on average earning assets resulted from lower
yields on average loans and a greater concentration of earning assets in
investments as opposed to loans. The yield on average loans decreased to 9.70%
for the six months ended June 30, 1998, from a yield of 9.73% for the first six
months of 1997. The 3 basis point decrease in average loan yields primarily
reflected increased price competition for loans. Loans typically generate higher
yields than investments. Accordingly, the higher the loan portfolio is as a
percentage of earning assets, the higher will be the yield on earning assets.
For the six months ended June 30, 1998, loans represented 52.73% of average
earning assets, compared to 58.89% for the six months ended June 30, 1997.

     Similar trends were evident when comparing the second quarter of 1998 with
the second quarter of 1997. Total interest income was $23.9 million for the
second quarter of 1998. This represented an increase of $3.1 million, or 15.04%
over total interest income of $20.7 million for the second quarter of 1997. The
yield on average loans decreased to 9.67% for the second quarter of 1998,
compared to a 9.83% yield for the second quarter of 1997. Average loans as a
percent of average earning assets decreased to 51.24% for the three months ended
June 30, 1998, compared to 57.34% for the same period last year.

     The increase in total interest income was partially offset by an increase
in interest expense for both the six months and the quarter ended June 30, 1998
when compared to the same periods for 1997. Interest expense totaled $14.7
million for the six months ended June 30, 1998. This represented an increase of
$2.8 million, or 23.58%, over total interest expense of $11.9 million for the
six months ended June 30, 1997. For the three months ended June 30, 1998,
interest expense totaled $7.6 million. This represented an increase of $1.4
million, or 21.66% compared to the same period last year.

     The increase reflected an increase in both the average volume and cost of
interest bearing liabilities. Average interest bearing liabilities were $742.4
million for the first six months of 1998. This represented an increase of $98.4
million, or 15.28%, from average interest bearing liabilities of $644.0 million
for the first six months of 1997.

     The cost of average interest bearing liabilities increased to 3.95% for the
six months ended June 30, 1998, compared to a cost of 3.68% for the first half
of 1997. The increase in the cost of interest bearing liabilities was primarily
the result of an increase in average time deposits and other borrowed funds.
Average time deposits totaled $272.1 million for the six months ended June 30,
1998. This represented an increase of $70.3 million, or 34.85%, over average
time deposits of $201.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997. The cost
of average time deposits increased to 5.24% for the first six months of 1998,
compared to an average cost of 5.16% for the same period last year.

     Other borrowed funds averaged $107.7 million for the six months ended June
30, 1998. This represented an increase of $29.3 million, or 37.41%, over average
other borrowed funds of $78.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997.
The cost of other borrowed funds decreased to 5.47% for the six months ended
June 30, 1998, compared to a cost of 5.49% for the six months ended June 30,
1997.

Table 2 summarizes the changes in interest income and interest expense based on
changes in average asset and liability balances (volume) and changes in average
rates (rate). For each category of earning assets and interest-bearing
liabilities, information is provided with respect to changes attributable to (1)
changes in volume (change in volume multiplied by initial rate), (2) changes in
rate (change in rate multiplied by initial volume) and (3) changes in
rate/volume (change in rate multiplied by change in volume).

     During periods of changing interest rates, the ability to reprice interest
earning assets and interest bearing liabilities can influence net interest
income, net interest margin, and consequently, the Company's earnings. Interest
rate risk is managed by attempting to control the spread between rates earned on
interest-earning assets and the rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities
within the constraints imposed by market competition in the Bank's service area.
Short term repricing risk is minimized by controlling the level of floating rate
loans and maintaining a downward sloping ladder of bond payments and maturities.
Basis risk is managed by the timing and magnitude of changes to interest-bearing
deposits rates. Yield curve risk is reduced by keeping the duration of the loan
and bond portfolios relatively short. Options risk in the bond portfolio is
monitored monthly and actions are recommended when appropriate.

     Both the net interest spread and the net interest margin are largely
affected by the Company's ability to reprice assets and liabilities as interest
rates change. The Company's management utilizes the results of a dynamic
simulation model to quantify the estimated exposure of net interest income to
sustained changes in interest rates. The sensitivity of the Company's net
interest income is measured over a rolling two year horizon. The simulation
model estimates the impact of changing interest rates on the net interest income
from all interest earning assets and interest expense paid on all interest
bearing liabilities reflected on the Company's balance sheet. The sensitivity
analysis is compared to policy limits which specify a maximum tolerance level
for net interest income exposure over a one year time horizon assuming no
balance sheet growth, given both a 200 basis point upward and downward shift in
interest rates. A parallel and pro rata shift in interest rates over a 12 month
period is assumed. The following reflects the Company's net interest income
sensitivity over a one year horizon as of June 30, 1998.

                                              Estimated Net
            Simulated                        Interest Income
           Rate Changes                        Sensitivity
        +200 basis points                        -1.17%
        -200 basis points                        -0.80%

     The table indicates that net interest income would decrease by
approximately 1.17% over a 12 month period if there was a sustained, parallel
and pro rata 200 basis point downward shift in interest rates. Net interest
income would decrease approximately 0.80% over a 12 month period if there was a
sustained, parallel and pro rata 200 basis point upward shift in interest rates.

Credit Loss Experience

     The Company maintains an allowance for potential credit losses that is
increased by a provision for credit losses charged against operating results.
The allowance for credit losses is also increased by recoveries on loans
previously charged off and reduced by actual loan losses charged to the
allowance. The provision for credit losses was $1.3 million for the six months
ended June 30, 1998. This represented an increase of $245,000, or 23.22% from
the provision for credit losses of $1.1 million for the six months ended June
30, 1997. For the second quarter of 1998, the provision for credit losses was
$450,000. This represented an increase of $175,000, or 63.64%, from the
provision for credit losses of $275,000 for the second quarter of 1997.

     The allowance for credit losses at June 30, 1997 was $12.8 million. This
represented an increase of $2.6 million, or 26.05%, from the allowance for
credit losses of $10.2 million at June 30, 1997. The allowance for credit losses
increased to 2.06% of average gross loans for the first half of 1998, compared
to 1.75% of average gross loans for the same period last year. For the six
months ended June 30, 1998, loans charged to the allowance for credit losses,
net of recoveries ("net loan charge offs") totaled $12,000, compared to net
loans charge offs of $3.1 million for the first six months of 1997.

     Nonperforming assets, which includes nonaccrual loans, loans past due 90 or
more days and still accruing, restructured loans, and other real estate owned,
decreased to $9.6 million at June 30, 1998. This represented a decrease of $1.3
million, or 11.66%, from nonperforming assets of $10.9 million at December 31,
1997. Nonperforming loans, which include nonaccrual loans, loans past due 90 or
more days and still accruing, and restructured loans were $4.8 million at June
30, 1998. This represented a decrease of $1.6 million, or 25.33%, from the level
of nonperforming loans at December 31, 1997. Table 6 presents nonperforming
assets as of June 30 1998, and December 31, 1997. The Company applies the
methods prescribed by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 114 for
determining the fair value of specific loans for which the eventual collection
of all principal and interest is considered impaired.

     While management believes that the allowance at June 30, 1998, was adequate
to absorb losses from any known or inherent risks in the portfolio, no assurance
can be given that economic conditions which adversely affect the Company's
service areas or other circumstances will not be reflected in increased
provisions or credit losses in the future. Table 3 shows comparative information
on net credit losses, provisions for credit losses, and the allowance for credit
losses for the periods indicated.

Other Operating Income

     Other operating income includes revenues earned from sources other than
interest income. These sources include: service charges and fees on deposit
accounts, fee income from the Asset Management Division, other fee oriented
products and services, gain (or loss) on sale of securities or other real estate
owned and gross revenue from Community Trust Deed Services (the Company's
nonbank subsidiary).

     Other operating income totaled $7.5 million for the six months ended June
30, 1998. This represented an increase of $571,000, or 8.28%, from other
operating income of $6.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997.

     Trust income totaled $1.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 1998.
This represented an increase of $205,000, or 13.08%, over trust income of $1.6
million for the six months ended June 30, 1997. In March of 1998, the Bank sold
an office building used as its Brea office. The Bank realized a gain on the sale
of approximately $450,000 which is included in the $652,000 gain on sale of
premises and equipment for the first six months of 1998. During the first six
months of 1997, gains on sale of premises and equipment totaled $27,000.

     Other operating income totaled $3.5 million for the second quarter of 1998.
This represented a decrease of $146,000, or 4.04%, over other operating income
of $3.6 million for the second quarter of 1997.

Other Operating Expenses

     Other operating expenses totaled $22.6 million for the six months ended
June 30, 1998. This represented an increase of $178,000, or 0.80%, over other
operating expenses of $22.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997. For
the second quarter of 1998, other operating expenses totaled $11.2 million,
representing a decrease of $214,000, or 1.87%, over operating expenses of $11.4
million for the second quarter of 1997.

     The Company maintains an allowance for potential losses on other real
estate owned. The allowance is increased by a provision for losses on other real
estate owned, and reduced by losses on the sale of other real estate owned
charged directly to the allowance. The allowance was established to provide for
declining Southern California real estate values over the past several years.
For the six months ended June 30, 1998, the provision for other real estate
owned was $500,000. This represented a decrease of $695,000, or 58.16%, from a
provision of $1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997. The decrease
in the provision for 1998 reflects firmer real estate values for this year.

     As a percent of average assets, annualized other operating expenses
decreased to 3.48% for the six months ended June 30, 1998, compared to a ratio
of 3.99% for the six months ended June 30, 1997. The decrease in the ratio
indicates that the Company is managing a greater level of assets with
proportionately lower levels of operating expenses. The Company's efficiency
ratio decreased to 57.10% for the six months ended June 30, 1998, compared to a
ratio of 63.18% for the six months ended June 30, 1997. The decrease in the
efficiency ratio indicates that the Company is allocating a lower percentage of
net revenue to operating expenses.

     As set forth in Table 6, nonperforming assets (nonaccrual loans, loans 90
days or more past due and still accruing interest, restructured loans, and other
real estate owned) totaled $9.6 million at June 30, 1998. This represented a
decrease of $1.3 million, or 11.66%, from nonperforming assets of $10.9 million
at December 31, 1997. As a percent of total assets, nonperforming assets
decreased to 0.69% at June 30, 1998, from 0.86% at December 31, 1997.

     Although management believes that nonperforming assets are generally well
secured and that potential losses are reflected in the allowance for credit
losses, there can be no assurance that a general deterioration of economic
conditions or collateral values would not result in future credit losses.

     The decrease in nonperforming assets was primarily the result of a decrease
in restructured loans. Restructured loans declined $2.1 million for the first
six months of 1998. At June 30, 1998, the majority of nonaccrual loans were
collateralized by real property. The estimated loan balances to the fair value
of related collateral (loan-to-value ratio) for nonaccrual loans ranged from
approximately 16% to 131%.

     Other real estate owned totaled $4.8 million at June 30, 1998. This
represented an increase of $372,000, or 8.46%, from total real estate owned of
$4.4 million at December 31, 1997.

     The Bank has allocated specific reserves to provide for any potential loss
on non-performing loans. Management cannot, however, predict the extent to which
the current economic environment may persist or worsen or the full impact such
environment may have on the Company's loan portfolio.

Deposits and Other Borrowings

     At June 30, 1998, total deposits were $1.1 billion. This represented an
increase of $28.8 million, or 2.67%, from total deposits of $1.08 billion at
December 31, 1997. Demand deposits totaled $458.9 million at June 30, 1998,
representing a decrease of $10.9 million, or 2.33%, from total demand deposits
of $469.8 million at December 31, 1997. The decrease in demand deposits from the
year end total reflects normal seasonal fluctuations relating to agricultural
and other depositors. Average demand deposits for the second quarter of 1998
were $437.2 million. This represented an increase of $55.9 million, or 14.67%,
from average demand deposits of $381.3 million for the second quarter of 1997.
The comparison of average balances for the second quarters of 1998 and 1997, is
more representative of the Company's growth in deposits as it excludes the
seasonal peak in deposits at year end.                                      

     Time deposits totaled $279.8 million at June 30, 1998. This represented an
increase of $15.4 million, or 5.83%, over total time deposits of $264.4 million
at December 31, 1997. Time deposits are not affected by the Company's seasonal
fluctuation in demand deposits.

Liquidity

     Liquidity risk is the risk to earnings or capital resulting from the Bank's
inability to meet its obligations when they come due without incurring
unacceptable losses. It includes the ability to manage unplanned changes in
funding sources and to recognize or address changes in market conditions that
affect the Bank's ability to liquidate assets quickly and with minimum loss of
value. Factors considered in liquidity risk management are stability of the
deposit base; marketability, maturity, and pledging of investments; and the
demand for credit.

     In general, liquidity risk is managed daily by controlling the level of Fed
funds and the use of funds provided by the cash flow from the investment
portfolio. To meet unexpected demands, lines of credit are maintained with
correspondent banks, the Federal Home Loan Bank and the Federal Reserve Bank.
The sale of bonds maturing in the near future can also serve as a contingent
source of funds. Increases in deposit rates are considered a last resort as a
means of raising funds to increase liquidity.

     For the Bank, sources of funds normally include principal payments on loans
and investments, other borrowed funds, and growth in deposits. Uses of funds
include withdrawal of deposits, interest paid on deposits, increased loan
balances, purchases, and other operating expenses.

     Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $14.5 million for the
first six months of 1998, compared to net cash provided by operating activities
of $10.4 million for the same period last year. The increase was primarily the
result of increased interest received on loans and investment securities.

     Net cash used for investing activities totaled $153.9 million for the first
six months of 1998, compared to net cash used for investing activities of $45.6
million for the same period last year. The increase in net cash used for
investing activities was primarily from the purchase of additional investment
securities. Financing activities provided net cash flows of $120.0 million for
the six months ended June 30, 1998. This compares to a use of cash of $16.6
million for the six months ended June 30, 1997. A net increase in deposits of
$13.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 1998, compared to a net decrease
in deposits of $48.6 million for the same period last year contributed to the
change. In addition, net cash flows provided by financing activities was
impacted by an increase in short term borrowings of $94.1 million for the first
six months of 1998 compared to $14.6 million for the first six months of 1997.
At June 30, 1998, cash and cash equivalents totaled $88.3 million. This
represented a decrease of $2.4 million, or 2.6%, from a total of $90.7 million
at June 30, 1997.
                                       24
<PAGE>
     Since the primary sources and uses of funds for the Bank are loans and
deposits, the relationship between gross loans and total deposits provides a
useful measure of the Bank's liquidity. Typically, the closer the ratio of loans
to deposits is to 100%, the more reliant the Bank is on its loan portfolio to
provide for short term liquidity needs. Since repayment of loans tends to be
less predictable than the maturity of investments and other liquid resources,
the higher the loan to deposit ratio the less liquid are the Bank's assets. For
the first six months of 1998, the Bank's loan to deposit ratio averaged 58.75%,
compared to an average ratio of 61.64% for the first six months of 1997.

     CVB is a company separate and apart from the Bank that must provide for its
own liquidity. Substantially all of CVB's revenues are obtained from dividends
declared and paid by the Bank. There are statutory and regulatory provisions
that could limit the ability of the Bank to pay dividends to CVB. At June 30,
1998, approximately $36.1 million of the Bank's equity was unrestricted and
available to be paid as dividends to CVB. Management of CVB believes that such
restrictions will not have an impact on the ability of CVB to meet its ongoing
cash obligations. At June 30, 1998, neither the Bank nor CVB had any material
commitments for capital expenditures.

Capital Resources

     The Company's equity capital was $109.2 million at June 30, 1998. The
primary source of capital for the Company continues to be the retention of net
after tax earnings. The Company's 1997 annual report (management's discussion
and analysis and note 15 of the accompanying financial statements) describes the
regulatory capital requirements of the Company and the Bank.

     The Bank and the Company are required to meet risk-based capital standards
set by the respective regulatory authorities. The risk-based capital standards
require the achievement of a minimum ratio of total capital to risk-weighted
assets of 8.0% (of which at least 4.0% must be Tier 1 capital). In addition, the
regulatory authorities require the highest rated institutions to maintain a
minimum leverage ratio of 3.0%. At June 30, 1998, the Bank and the Company
exceeded the minimum risk-based capital ratio and leverage ratio required to be
considered "Well Capitalized".

     Table 7 below presents the Company's and the Bank's risk-based and leverage
capital ratios as of June 30, 1998, and December 31, 1997.

     On April 16, 1997, the board of directors of the Company authorized the
repurchase of shares of its common stock, from time to time, at the discretion
of the Company, through open market purchases or in private transactions in an
aggregate amount of up to $9.0 million, or 750,000 shares. As of December 31,
1997, the Company had purchased 142,772 shares for an average price of $13.56
per share. The Company has not repurchased any of its outstanding shares of
common stock during the first six months of 1998.

Risk Management

     The Company's management has adopted a Risk Management Policy to ensure the
proper control and management of all risk factors inherent in the operation of
the Company and the Bank. The policy is designed to address specific risk
factors defined by federal bank regulators. These risk factors are not mutually
exclusive. It is recognized that any product or service offered may expose the
Bank to one or more of these risks. The Risk Management Policy identifies the
significant risks as: credit risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk,
transaction risk, compliance risk, strategic risk, and price risk.

Year 2000

     The financial institutions industry, as with other industries, is faced
with year 2000 issues. These issues center around computer programs that do not
recognize a year which begins with "20" instead of "19", or uses only 2 digits
for the year. Certain statements in this section on the Year 2000 constitute
forward-looking statements under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995 which involve risk and uncertainties. The Company's actual results may
differ significantly from the results discussed in these forward-looking
statements. Such factors include but are not limited to the costs of remediation
and the preparedness of third party vendors.

     The Company has been working on these issues for the last 18 months. A
committee, known as Team 2000, was established to analyze the issues and
determine compliance with the requirements for year 2000. To date all of the
Company's systems have been analyzed. The Company relies on third party vendors
for all of its hardware and software.

     The third party vendor for the main applications (loans, deposits,
investments and accounting) which the Company uses has indicated that their
software is compliant. The Company has tested this software and found it to be
compliant. However, periodic testing will continue to determine that new
releases to the software are compliant.

     The Company uses personal computers extensively throughout the Bank. These
are all compliant. However, the third party vendor of the Bank's teller terminal
system has indicated that their hardware is not compliant and will not be made
compliant. It is of an older generation of technology. The Bank is in the
process of replacing this system, which is anticipated to be completed by March
31, 1999.

     There are other systems which are provided by third party vendors. These
vendors have indicated that they will be compliant by the end of this year. The
Company has no evidence that these vendors will not be compliant within that
timeframe. However, the Company has written contingency plans for each of these
systems and will prepare to convert to other vendors if needed.
                                       26
<PAGE>
     The Bank has notified its customers by means of statement stuffers of year
2000 issues. It is also in the process of contacting each of its major borrowing
customers to make them aware of the issues and to seek information regarding its
customers' preparedness for the year 2000.

     The Board of Directors of CVB and the Bank have approved a Year 2000 Policy
and budget. The Board has approved a budget of $1.3 million for the anticipated
costs of year 2000 issues. The Board has allocated $500,000 of the Bank's
allowance for loan and lease losses to cover potential losses from customers due
to their year 2000 problems. In addition, it is anticipated that the replacement
of the teller system hardware will cost $450,000. The remaining $350,000 is
budgeted for software needs although the specifics are not completely known.
Approximately $200,000 could be used in relation to the teller terminal system
replacement. To date, the Company has expended approximately $20,000 for the
testing of software and hardware.

     Of the $1.3 million, the $500,000 allocation from the allowance for loan
and lease losses has already been provided through the income statement. The
Company believes that costs to replace the teller system which could be as much
as $650,000 will be capitalized as these costs relate to the purchase of new
equipment and, therefore, will only impact the earnings of the Company as it is
depreciated. The Company anticipates that the remaining $150,000 will be
reflected in the income statement over the next six quarters.

Business Segments

     On March 29, 1996, the Bank acquired Citizens Commercial Trust and Savings
Bank of Pasadena ("Citizens"). At the time of the acquisition, Citizens had a
trust division with managed assets of approximately $800.0 million. The acquired
division, now called the Asset Management division, managed assets of $990.1
million at June 30, 1998.

     The Asset Management division has served as a significant and growing
source of noninterest income for the Company. The division offers a number of
trust and asset management services to the Bank's branch operations that were
not available prior to the acquisition. For purposes of business segmentation,
table 8 provides a summary of the sources of revenue and expenses for the 
Asset Management division and the other divisions of the Company.

              meeting.
