NOTE #3 - EARNINGS PER SHARE

Earnings per share are based upon the weighted average number of shares 
outstanding during each period.  Stock options have been excluded from the 
computation of earning per share, as their effect is immaterial.

The weighted average number of shares used to compute earnings per share was 
3,929,463 in 1995 and 3,892,016 in 1994.

NOTE #4 - INCOME TAXES

The Bank adopted Statement No. 109 of the Financial Accounting Standard Board, 
Accounting for Income Taxes, commencing January 1, 1993.  This new statement 
supersedes Statement No. 96 and among other things, changes the criteria for 
the recognition and measurement of deferred tax assets.  This adoption does not 
create a material change in the financial statements of the Bank or the 
Company.

NOTE #5 - DISCLOSURE ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement 107 is effective for financial 
statements for fiscal years ended after December 15, 1992.  The Statement 
considers the fair value of financial instruments for both assets and 
liabilities.


The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of 
financial instruments.

Investment Securities

For U.S. Government and U.S. Agency securities, fair values are based on market 
prices.  For other investment securities, fair value equals quoted market price 
if available.  If a quoted market price is not available, fair value is 
estimated using quoted market prices for similar securities as the basis for a 
pricing matrix.

Loans

The fair value for loans with variable interest rates is the carrying amount.  
The fair value of fixed rate loans is derived by calculating the discounted 
value of the future cash flows expected to be received by the various 
homogeneous categories of loans.  All loans have been adjusted to reflect 
changes in credit risk.

Deposits

The fair value of demand deposits, savings deposits, savings accounts and NOW 
accounts is defined as the amounts payable on demand at March 31, 1994.  The 
fair value of fixed maturity certificates of deposit is estimated based on the 
discounted value of the future cash flows expected to be paid on the deposits.

Notes Payable

Rates currently available to the Bank for debt with similar terms and remaining 
maturities are used to estimate the fair value of existing debt.

Commitments to Extend Credit and Standby Letter of Credit

The fair value of commitments is estimated using the fees currently charged to 
enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the 
agreements and the present credit worthiness of the parties involved.  For 
fixed-rate loan commitments, fair value also considered the difference between 
current levels of interest rates and committed rates.

The fair value of guarantees and letters of credit are based on fees currently 
charged for similar agreements or on the estimated cost to terminate them or 
otherwise settle the obligations with parties involved at June 30, 1995.

The estimated fair value of the Bank's financial instruments are as follows:

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS


General

     Foothill Independent Bancorp (the "Company") is a one-bank holding 
company.  Its principal asset is the common stock of, and its principal 
operations are conducted by, Foothill Independent Bank, a California state 
chartered bank (the "Bank").  The Bank accounts for substantially all of the 
Company's revenues and income.

Results of Operations

     Net Interest Income.  Net interest income is the principal determinant of 
a bank's income.  Net interest income represents the difference or "margin" 
between the interest earned on interest-earning assets, such as loans, 
investment securities and Federal Funds sold, and the interest paid on 
interest-bearing liabilities, principally deposits.  The Bank's net interest 
income increased by $488,000 or 8.9% in the three months ended June 30, 1995, 
and by $1,833,000 or 18.2% in the six months ended June 30, 1995, as compared 
to the same three and six month periods ended June 30, 1994.  These increases 
were primarily attributable to increases in interest and fees earned on loans, 
and increases in interest earned on Federal Funds sold, which more than offset 
increases in interest expense, in the three and six month periods ended June 
30, 1995.  The increases in interest and fees earned on loans, and in the 
interest earned on Federal Funds sold, were attributable primarily to 
increases in the volume of loans and in the volume of Federal Funds that were 
outstanding during the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1995 and, to a 
lesser extent, to increases in prevailing rates of interest during those 
periods.

     The increase in interest expense in the three and six months ended June 
30, 1995 was attributable primarily to (i) an overall increase in the average 
volume of interest-bearing deposits outstanding during these periods, as 
compared to the corresponding periods of 1994, (ii) a change in the mix of 
deposits due to increases in the average volume of time deposits which 
generally bear interest at higher rates than savings deposits, and (iii) 
somewhat higher interest rates paid on deposits as a result of increases in 
market rates of interest due primarily to the credit tightening actions taken 
by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System in response to 
concerns about inflation.  The increases in the interest rates paid on 
interest-bearing deposits resulted in a decline in the Bank's net interest 
margin (i.e., net interest income expressed as a percentage of interest 
income) to 71.8% and 73.7%, respectively, in the three and six month periods 
ended June 30, 1995, from 79.4% and 78.8% in the corresponding periods of 
1994.

     Provision for Possible Loan Losses.  The Bank follows the practice of 
maintaining a reserve for possible losses on loans and leases (the "Loan Loss 
Reserve" or the "Reserve") that occur from time to time as an incidental part 
of the banking business.  Write-offs of loans and leases (essentially 
reductions in the carrying values of non-performing loans due to possible 
losses on their ultimate recovery) are charged against the Reserve and the 
Reserve is adjusted periodically to reflect changes in the volume of 
outstanding loans and leases and increases in the risk of potential losses due 
either to a deterioration in the condition of borrowers or in general economic 
conditions.  Additions to the Loan Loss Reserve are made though a charge 
against income referred to as the "Provision for Loan and Lease Losses."  The 
Bank made provisions for potential loan and lease losses of $870,000 in the 
second quarter of 1995, as compared to $735,000 in the corresponding quarter 
of 1994.  For the first six months of 1995 the provision for potential loan 
and lease losses, inclusive of the provision made in the second quarter, 
totaled $1,500,000, as compared to $864,000 for the first six months of 1994. 
 The increases in the provision during the quarter and six months ended June 
30, 1995 were made primarily in response to the increase, since June 30, 1994, 
in the average volume of outstanding loans and a continued "softness" in the 
market values of commercial real estate in Southern California, which is 
adversely affecting the values of the real properties that secure and may 
become the source of repayment for some of the Bank's non-performing loans.

     Other Income.  Other income declined by $187,000 or 14% and by $72,000 or 
2.9%, respectively, in the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1995, as 
compared to the same quarter and six months of 1994, primarily as a result of 
decreases in the volume of, and in the fees generated from, sales of SBA loans 
as compared to 1994.

     Other Expense.  Other expense, consisting primarily of (i) salaries and 
other employee expenses, (ii) occupancy expenses, (iii) furniture and 
equipment expenses, and (iv) insurance, assessments and other operating and 
miscellaneous expenses, was substantially unchanged in the quarter ended June 
30, 1995 from the quarter ended June 30, 1994.  For the six months ended June 
30, 1995, other expense increase by $745,000 or 8% as compared to the 
corresponding six month period of 1994.  This increase was primarily 
attributable to internal growth in the Bank's assets and operations subsequent 
to June 30, 1994.  In the first quarter of 1995, the Bank opened a new banking 
office in Glendale, California and hired additional personnel to staff that 
office.  The opening of that office accounted for much of the increases in 
occupancy and salary and other employee expenses in the six months ended June 
30, 1995.  In July 1995, the Bank opened another new office, in Corona, 
California and expects to open a new banking office in Chino, California later 
this year.  Consequently, the Company expects to incur increases in occupancy 
and salary and other employee expenses during the second half of 1995 related 
to the opening of these two banking offices.

     Provision for Income Taxes.  The higher provision for income taxes in the 
quarter and six months ended June 30, 1995, as compared to the provision for 
income taxes in the corresponding periods of 1994, is attributable to the 
increase in income before income taxes and the fact that the Company had less 
tax-exempt income during the six months ended June 30, 1995 than it did in the 
first six months of 1994.

Financial Condition and Liquidity

     Between January 1, 1995 and June 30, 1995, the Company's total assets 
increased by approximately $49,323,000, or 14.9%.  That increase was primarily 
the result of programs implemented to attract new customers and increase 
deposits.  The additional deposits that were generated by those programs were 
used primarily to increase the Bank's liquidity and, to a lesser extent, to 
fund new loans.  As a result, the average volume of Federal Funds sold and 
cash held at other banks increased significantly in the six months ended June 
30, 1995.  At June 30, 1995, the Company had $34,687,000 of cash held on 
deposit at other financial institutions, $33,347,000 of investment securities 
and $49,800,000 in Federal Funds sold.

     For the quarter ended June 30, 1995, the average volume of time deposits 
(TCD's) in denominations greater than $100,000 was approximately $5,915,000 
higher than the average volume of those deposits for the quarter ended 
December 31, 1994.  Often, TCD's in denominations over $100,000 are of a 
short-term duration and are quite sensitive to changes in interest rates.  As 
a result, reliance on these types of deposits can pose risks for banking 
institutions.  To reduce such risks, the Bank has made it a policy to seek 
TCD's in denominations over $100,000 primarily from existing customers in its 
local market areas and not to rely unduly on "brokered" deposits, which tend 
to be more interest-sensitive and volatile.  During the quarter ended June 30, 
1995, the Bank has made an effort to attract more of these types of deposits, 
primarily from customers in its existing markets, to increase the Bank's 
liquidity.

     In the first quarter of 1995, the Board of Directors decided to 
discontinue payment of cash dividends in order to retain internally generated 
funds to support internal growth of the Bank.  In addition to the new banking 
office opened in Glendale, California in March of 1995, the Bank opened a new 
banking office in Corona, California on July 17, 1995 and has filed an 
application for necessary regulatory approvals to open a new banking office in 
Chino, California later this year.  The Board of Directors intends to consider 
, in the later part of 1995, whether to resume cash dividends.  It is not 
possible to predict at this time whether cash dividends will be resumed, 
however, as that will depend on a number of factors, including the Company's 
earnings and the growth of the Company's assets in 1995 and whether 
opportunities for further growth may arise in the future.  During the first 
quarter of 1995, the Company did declare a 10% stock dividend on the Company's 
outstanding shares, which was paid on May 1, 1995.

     As a result of the increased earnings in the six months ended June 30, 
1995 and the retention of internally generated funds, the Company's total 
shareholders' equity increased by $2,070,000 to $28,941,000 at June 30, 1995 
as compared to $26,871,000 at December 31, 1994 and the Bank's Tier 1 Capital 
Ratio (the ratio of shareholders' equity-to-average assets) was 7.83% at June 
30, 1995 compared to 7.77% at December 31, 1994, and is above the minimum 
regulatory requirement applicable to the Bank of 5%.

     Federal bank regulations also require federally insured banks to meet a 
"risk-based capital ratio" of 8%.  Under those regulations, a bank's assets 
are weighted according to certain risk formulas; and, the higher the risk 
profile of a bank's assets, the greater the amount of capital that is required 
to meet the risk-based capital ratio.  An asset that poses no risk, such as a 
U.S. government security, is weighted at 0% and requires no capital; whereas, 
a commercial loan or lease is weighted at 100% and requires 100% of the 
capital requirement (i.e., 8%).  Based upon the formulas set forth in the 
risk-based capital regulations, the Bank's ratio of capital to risk-based 
assets at June 30, 1995 was 11.56% , which is well in excess of the minimum 
ratio required by these regulations.
