NOTE #4 - INCOME TAXES

The Bank adopted Statement No. 109 of the Financial Accounting Standards 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 - DISCLOSURES ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement 107 is effective for financial
statements for fiscal years ending 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 catagories 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.

Note #5 - Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments (Continued)

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 creditworthiness 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 March 31, 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 and
investment securities, and the interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities,
principally deposits. The Bank's net interest income for the three months ended
March 31, 1995 increased by $1,344,000 or 30.0% as compared to the three months
ended March 31, 1994, primarily as a result of a $1,763,000 increase in interest
and fees earned on loans, which was only partially offset by a $602,000 increase
in interest paid on deposits. The increase in interest and fees earned on loans
was primarily attributable to an increase in the volume of outstanding loans
and, to a lesser extent, increases in interest rates.

       The increase in interest expense in the three months ended March 31,
1995 was attributable primarily to (i) an increase in the average volume of
deposits outstanding during the quarter, as compared to the same quarter of
1994, including an increase in the average volume of outstanding time deposits,
which generally bear interest at higher rates than savings deposits, and (ii)
an increase in the rates of interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities,
principally deposits, as a result of increases in market rates of interest due
primarily to credit-tightening actions taken by the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System in response to concerns about inflation. The increases
in the volume of, and in 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 75.8% for the quarter
ended March 31, 1995 from 78.1% in the same period of 1994.  

       Provision for Possible Loan Losses. The Bank follows the practice of
maintaining a reserve (the "Loan Loss Reserve" or the "Reserve") for possible
losses on loans or leases that occur from time to time as a incidental part of
the banking business. Write-offs of loans and leases (essentially reductions in
the carrying values of non-performing loans or leases 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 to deterioration in
the condition of borrowers or in the value of collateral securing outstanding
loans or in general economic conditions. Additions to the Loan Loss Reserve are
made through a charge against income referred to as the "Provision for Loan and
Lease Losses." A higher Provision for Loan and Lease Losses was made in the
first quarter of 1995, than was made in the same quarter of 1994, because of an
increase in the volume of loans outstanding during the first quarter of 1995,
as compared to the same quarter of 1994, and the lingering effects of the
economic recession that impacted southern California during the past three
years which has adversely affected the ability of some borrowers to repay 


                                 10 of 15 Pages
<PAGE>   11
their loans and has continued to depress the value of real properties
securing some of the Bank's non-performing loans. Despite these conditions,
loan write-offs during the quarter ended March 31, 1995 aggregated $268,000,
which is eleven hundredths of one percent (0.11%) of the Bank's average volume
of loans and leases outstanding during such quarter. This compares to loan
write-offs of $180,000, which was nine hundredths of one percent (0.09%) of the
average volume of loans and leases outstanding, during the quarter ended March
31, 1994.

       Other Income. Other income increased by $114,000 or 10.2% in the quarter
ended March 31, 1995, as compared to the same quarter of 1994. That was
primarily due to a $89,000 increase in fees and charges generated primarily from
deposit account activity and appraisal and other ancillary services provided to
Bank customers.

       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, increased by approximately $726,000 or 16.1% during the three month
period ended March 31, 1994. This increase in Other Expense was attributable
primarily to internal growth in the Bank's operations subsequent to the first
quarter of 1994. During the second quarter of 1994, the Bank opened a new and
larger banking office in Covina, California to replace its West Covina banking
office, and in the first quarter of 1995 opened a new banking office in
Glendale, California. The Bank also hired additional personnel to staff those
offices. As a result, occupancy expense, salaries and other employee expenses
and other miscellaneous expenses were higher in the first quarter of 1995 than
in the same quarter of 1994. Also contributing to the increase in Other Expense
was an increase of $187,000 in the Bank's reserve for possible losses on future
dispositions of real properties acquired on foreclosures of defaulted loans.
However, as a percentage of operating income (Net Interest Income plus Other
Income), Other Expense was lower in the first quarter of 1995 than in the same
quarter of 1994.

       The higher provision for income taxes in the three months ended March 31,
1995, as compared to the provision for income taxes in the same three months of
1994, is due to the increase in pre-tax income and an increase in the Company's
overall tax rate to approximately 38% due to a reduction in the proportion of
the Bank's interest income that is exempt from Federal income taxes.

Financial Condition and Liquidity

       Between January 1, 1995 and March 31, 1995, the Company's total assets
increased by approximately $11,972,000 or 3.6%. The Company continued to have
adequate cash resources with approximately $29,051,000 of cash held on deposit
at other financial institutions, $30,340,000 of investment securities and
$23,600,000 in federal funds sold at March 31, 1995. The average volume of loans
and leases outstanding during the three months ended March 31, 1995 was
approximately 24.3% higher than for the same period in 1994.

       During the quarter ended March 31, 1995, the average volume of time
deposits in denominations greater than $100,000 was approximately $13,764,000
higher than the average volume of those deposits during the quarter ended March
31, 1994. Generally, 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 


                                 11 of 15 Pages
<PAGE>   12
institutions. To reduce such risks, the Bank has made it a policy to seek 
such deposits 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. In March 1994, the Bank did acquire $8,560,000
of TCD's in denominations greater than $100,000, of which $5,130,000 will
mature in March 1997 and the remaining $3,430,000 will mature in March 1999. In
January 1995, the Bank acquired an additional $2,500,000 of TCD's in
denominations greater than $100,000 which will mature in January 1998. The
decision to acquire these deposits was made to fix the cost of funds in
anticipation of increasing interest rates and to provide a source of additional
funds for anticipated withdrawals of short term TCD's over $100,000.

       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 opening a new
banking office in Glendale, California, the Bank has filed applications for
necessary regulatory approvals to open new banking offices later this year in
the cities of Chino and Corona, California. The Board of Directors intends to
consider, in the latter 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 will may arise in the future. During the
quarter ended March 31, 1995, the Company did declare a 10% stock dividend on
the Company's outstanding shares, which was paid on May 1, 1995.

       Primarily as a result of the increase in earnings in the first quarter
and the retention of internally generated funds, the Company's total
shareholders equity increased by $980,000 to $27,851,000 at March 31, 1995 as
compared to $26,871,000 at December 31, 1994 and the Bank's tier 1 capital ratio
(shareholders' equity-to-total average assets) rose to 8.04% at March 31, 1995
as compared to 7.77% at December 31, 1994, which is above minimum bank
regulatory requirements 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 March 31, 1995 was 11.25%,
which is well in excess of the minimum ratio required by these regulations.
