           The unaudited  consolidated  financial  statements of SJNB  Financial
           Corp. (the "Company") and its subsidiary, San Jose National Bank, are
           prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting  principles
           for interim  financial  information and with the instructions to Form
           10-QSB. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a
           fair  presentation of the financial  position,  results of operations
           and cash flows for the periods have been  included and are normal and
           recurring.   The  results  of  operations  and  cash  flows  are  not
           necessarily indicative of those expected for the full fiscal year.

           consolidated   financial   statements  prepared  in  accordance  with
           generally  accepted  accounting  principles  have been  condensed  or
           omitted.  These condensed consolidated financial statements should be
           read in conjunction  with the consolidated  financial  statements and
           notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report to Shareholders

Item 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

SJNB  Financial  Corp.  (the  "Company")  is the  holding  company  for San Jose
National Bank ("SJNB" and the "Bank"),  San Jose,  California.  This  discussion
focuses  primarily on the results of operations of the Company on a consolidated
basis for the three and nine months ended  September  30, 1996 and the liquidity
and  financial  condition of the Company and SJNB as of  September  30, 1996 and
December 31, 1995.

All  dollar  amounts  in the text in this  Item 2 are in  thousands,  except per
share  amounts  or as  otherwise indicated.

Certain matters discussed in this report are forward-looking statements that are
subject to risks and  uncertainties  that could cause  actual  results to differ
materially from those projected in the  forward-looking  statements.  Such risks
and uncertainties  include, but are not limited to, the competitive  environment
and its impact on the Company's net interest margin,  changes in interest rates,
asset quality risks,  concentrations  of credit and the economic health of Santa
Clara County (particularly the health of the semiconductor industry), volatility
of rate sensitive deposits,  asset/liability matching risks and liquidity risks.
Therefore,  the matters  set forth below  should be  carefully  considered  when
evaluating the Company's business and prospects.

In November  1995,  the  Company  entered  into an  agreement  to acquire  Astra
Financial Inc.  (Astra).  Astra is an asset based lending company located in San
Jose, California.  Its outstanding factoring receivables were approximately $2.2
million as of December 31, 1995. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase
transaction and closed on January 2, 1996.

Summary of Financial Results

The  Company  reported  net  income of $1,120 or $.42 per share for the  quarter
ended September 30, 1996, compared with net income of $807 or $.32 per share for
the third quarter of 1995.  The  improvement  in earnings is due primarily to an
increase in the net interest  income due to the growth in volume and a reduction
in the loan  loss  provision  which is  offset by an  increase  in  non-interest
expense and taxes.

For the nine months ended September 30, 1996, the net income was $3,123 or $1.19
per share  compared  with net  income  of $2,159 or $.87 per share in 1995.  The
improvement  was due  primarily to the reasons  discussed  above  regarding  the
comparison of the third quarter results.

Net Interest Income

Net interest  income for the quarter ended  September 30, 1996 increased $665 as
compared to the same quarter a year ago. Net interest  income is dependent  upon
volume and net interest  margin.  The Bank's average earning assets for the same
period  increased  by $35 million,  primarily  as the result of the  significant
growth in the Bank's loan  portfolio.  See the  discussion in the sections "Loan
Portfolio" and "Asset/Liability Management" below.

Net  interest  income for the nine months  ended  September  30, 1996  increased
$1,511 over that of the same period a year ago. The increase was  primarily  due
to the increase in average earning assets ($51 million),  offset by a decline in
the  year-to-date net interest margin (7.31% for the nine months ended September
30,  1995 as  compared  to 6.62% for 1996).  This  decrease is mainly due to the
collection  of  nonaccrual   loans  and  the  recovery  of  interest  income  of
approximately  $540 in 1995 as compared to an insignificant  amount in 1996. Net
interest  margin  without this recovery for the nine months ended  September 30,
1995 would have been 6.94%.

Net interest margin for the third quarter of 1996 was 6.68% as compared to 6.53%
for 1995.  This increase was  primarily  related to a decline in the cost of the
Bank's  interest-bearing  funds. Such funds had an average cost of 4.25% for the
third quarter of 1996 as compared to 4.62% for the same period in 1995. This was
mainly due to the repricing of the Bank's interest  checking demand accounts and
a reduction  in its  short-term  borrowing  costs.  Offsetting  this  decline in
interest  expense was a reduction in income  earned on earning  assets which was
due to a decline  in the yield on  interest-bearing  assets  from  10.01% in the
third quarter of 1995 to 9.88%.  This was mainly  attributable to the decline of
yields on loans from 11.54% for the third quarter of 1995 to 11.12% in 1996.

Net interest  margin for the nine months ended  September  30, 1996 was 6.62% as
compared to 7.31% for the nine months ended September 30, 1995.  During the nine
months ended  September  30, 1995,  the Bank  recognized  approximately  $492 of
income  received on loans which had previously not been  recognized as income as
they were on nonaccrual status. Adjusting for this would reduce the net interest
margin to 6.94% for the nine months ended September 30, 1995. The Bank's average
prime rate declined from 8.87% to 8.28% during such periods, but during the same
period the average cost of the Bank's funds did not decline.

Although  economic  conditions in Northern  California have rebounded to date in
1996, the competitive  environment within the Bank's marketplace has become more
aggressive and the  competition  between  lenders for additional loan growth has
caused more  competitive  pricing.  Even though the Bank's net  interest  margin
improved  for the third  quarter  of 1996  over  that of a year  ago,  on a year
to-date basis, it has declined as compared to the same period a year ago. To the

<PAGE>

extent that such competitive pricing continues  throughout 1996 and 1997 and the
Bank finds it necessary to meet such competition or the prime rate declines, the
Bank's  net  interest  margins  could be  negatively  impacted.  See  "Loans and
"Funding".

In addition to the positive  impact of the interest income recovery in 1995, net
interest  income in 1996 was reduced due to the  decrease in the prime  interest
rate which the Bank utilizes to price  approximately  85% of its loan  portfolio
without a  corresponding  decrease  in its cost of funds.  Cost of funds for the
nine month periods remained stable at 3.37% for 1996 and 3.36% for 1995.

A  substantial  portion (24% for the three and nine months ended  September  30,
1996 and 24 % and 25% for the three and nine months  ended  September  30, 1995,
respectively)  of the  Bank's  average  deposits  are  non-interest-bearing  and
therefore do not reprice when interest  rates change.  See "Funding." Due to the
nature of the Company's  market in which loans are  generally  tied to the prime
rate, management believes an increase in interest rates should positively affect
the Company's net interest  margin.  Conversely,  Management  believes stable or
declining rates will tend to have an adverse impact on net interest margin.  The
Bank  utilizes  various  vehicles  to hedge  its  interest  rate  position.  See
"Asset/Liability Management."

Net interest income also reflects the impact of  nonperforming  loans.  Interest
income on the loan  portfolio  is recorded on the accrual  basis.  However,  the
Company  follows the  practice  of  discontinuing  the  accrual of interest  and
reversing any accrued and unpaid  interest  when, in the opinion of  management,
there is significant doubt as to the  collectability of interest or principal or
when the payment of  principal  or interest is ninety days past due,  unless the
loan is well-secured and in the process of collection. For these loans, interest
is recorded  when  payment is  received.  The effect of  nonaccrual  of interest
income based on loans  classified  as  nonaccrual at September 30, 1996 and 1995
was not significant for the periods. See "Nonperforming Loans."

The following  table shows the composition of average earning assets and average
funding  sources,  average yields and rates and the net interest  margin,  on an
annualized  basis,  for the three and nine months ended  September  30, 1996 and
1995.

Interest  margin is  affected  by  changes in  volume,  changes in rates,  and a
combination  of  changes  in volume  and  rates.  Volume  changes  are caused by
differences  in the level of  earning  assets,  deposits  and  borrowings.  Rate
changes  result in  differences  in yields  earned on assets  and rates  paid on
liabilities. Changes not solely attributable to volume or rates are allocated to
volume and rate in proportion to the relationship to the absolute dollar amounts
of  changes  in each.  The  following  table  shows the  effect on the  interest
differential  of volume and rate  changes for the quarters and nine months ended
September 30, 1996 and 1995.

Provision for Possible Loan Losses

The  allowance  for possible  loan losses and  therefore  the related  provision
reflect the Company's judgment as to the inherent risks associated with the loan
and lease portfolios.  Based on management's evaluation of such risks, additions
of $50 and $100 were made to the  allowance  for  possible  loan  losses for the
third  quarter  and nine months  ended  September  30,  1996,  respectively,  as
compared to $180 and $890 for the third quarter and nine months ended  September
30, 1995 respectively.  Management's determinations of the provision in 1996 and
1995 were based on an analysis of the  possibility of future loan losses through
various objective and subjective criteria and the impact of net charge-offs. The
causes for the decrease in 1996 were due to the improved  credit  quality of the
Bank's loan  portfolio,  the reduction in the amount of the net  charge-offs and
other  criteria  deemed  relevant  by  management.  Please  refer to the section
regarding the "Loan Portfolio" for a detailed discussion of loan quality and the
allowance for possible loan losses.

=====================================================================================================================
</TABLE>

Other income  decreased  from $278 for the quarter  ended  September 30, 1995 to
$182 for the comparable  quarter in 1996. The primary reason for the decrease is
related to the realized loss on the sale of securities available for sale of $67
for the third  quarter  of 1996 and a  decrease  in wire  transfer  and SBA loan
servicing  fees.  Other  income  decreased  from $720 for the nine months  ended
September 30, 1995 to $615 for the comparable  period in 1996. The major factors
were the difference in the net realized loss on securities available for sale, a
write off of unused  assets of $62 in 1995 and a reduction in wire  transfer and
SBA loan servicing fees.

Total other  expenses for the third quarter of 1996 increased $198 from the same
period a year ago. The increase relates primarily to an increase in the salaries
and benefits relating to the acquisition of a factoring company as of January 2,
1996,  plus an  increase  due to  volume  increases  and  profitability  related
incentive payments to employees.  In addition data processing expenses increased
$45 mainly due to the  Bank's  increased  volume  and  increased  investment  in
technology.  These increases were offset by decreases in legal and  professional
fees, occupancy, amortization of intangibles and loan and collection costs.

Total other expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 increased $629
from the same period a year ago. The increase relates  primarily to increases in
salaries and benefits  relating to factoring and volume and  incentive  payments
discussed  above;  plus volume  related  increases in  advertising  and business
promotion  and data  processing.  These  increases  were offset by  decreases in
occupancy (due to the impact of subletting certain bank facilities),  a decrease
in FDIC  premiums  on  insured  deposits,  a  decrease  in the  amortization  of
intangibles, and an increase in the recoveries on other real estate owned.

Income Tax Provision

The Company  accounts  for income  taxes using the asset and  liability  method.
Under this method,  deferred tax assets and  liabilities  are recognized for the
future tax  consequences  attributable  to  differences  between  the  financial
statement  carrying  amounts  of  existing  assets  and  liabilities  and  their
respective  tax basis.  Deferred tax assets and  liabilities  are measured using
enacted  tax rates in effect for the year in which those  temporary  differences
are expected to be  recovered or settled.  The effect on deferred tax assets and
liabilities  of a change in tax rates is  recognized in income during the period
which includes the enactment date.

The  effective  tax  rate of 42% and 43% for the  three  and nine  months  ended
September  30,  1996,  respectively,  is  affected  by several  items,  the most
significant of which are the amortization of the intangibles,  tax exempt income
and the California  Franchise Tax Enterprise Tax Zone Credit.  The effective tax
rate for the year ended  December 31, 1995 was 44%. The reduction in the rate is
mainly due to the decline in amortization of the intangibles.

Financial Condition and Earning Assets
Consolidated  assets increased to $288 million at September 30, 1996 compared to
$252  million  at  December  31,  1995.  The  increase  consisted  primarily  of
securities  available  for sale and loans and was funded by an  increase  in the
Bank's core interest-bearing deposits and an increase in certificates of deposit
greater than $100. See "Funding."

Money Market Investments

Money market investments,  which include federal funds sold were $1.5 million at
September 30, 1996 as compared to $3.2 million at December 31, 1995.

Securities

The  following  table  shows the  composition  of the  securities  portfolio  at
September  30, 1996 and December 31, 1995.  There were no issuers of  securities
for which the book value of specific securities held by the Bank exceeded 10% of
the Company's shareholders' equity, except U.S. Government Securities.

Securities held to maturity include those securities as to which the Company has
the ability and intent to hold to maturity.  This decision is dependent upon the
liquidity  and  asset/liability  needs of the Bank  and  does  not  involve  any
specific  type of  securities  except  that as a matter of policy  all state and
municipal securities will be included in the "held to maturity" category and all
mutual funds are  classified  as  "available  for sale." The Bank's policy is to
generally   acquire  "A"  rated  or  better  state  and  municipal   securities.
Management's  policy is to reduce the market  valuation  risk of the  investment
portfolio by generally limiting portfolio maturities to 60 months or less. It is
management's  present  intent to maintain  at least 50% of its total  investment
securities portfolio in U.S. Treasury and U.S. Government Agencies securities.

Unrealized  gains on  securities  held to maturity  were $92 as of September 30,
1996  as  compared  to an  unrealized  gain of $244  as of  December  31,  1995.
Unrealized  gains result from the impact of current market rates being less than
those rates at the time in which the Bank purchased the securities.  The decline
in the  unrealized  gains from  December  31, 1995 is a result of an increase in
interest  rates during the nine months  ended  September  30,  1996.  The Bank's
weighted  average  maturity of the held to  maturity  investment  portfolio  was
approximately 2.05 years as of September 30, 1996. It is estimated by management
that for each 1% change in interest rates, the value of the Company's securities
held to maturity will change by approximately  1.88%. This volatility  decreases
as the average  maturity  shortens.  It is the  intention of  management to hold
these  securities  to  maturity,  and  therefore,  any increase in value will be
recognized over the life of the securities as the interest income is recognized.

Securities  available for sale,  which  include all mutual  funds,  are acquired
without  the  intent to hold  until  maturity.  Any  unrealized  gain or loss is
reflected in the carrying  value of the  security  and  reported,  net of income
taxes,  in the equity  section of the  condensed  consolidated  balance  sheets.
Realized gains and losses are reported in the condensed  consolidated  statement
of  operations.  The  unrealized  loss on  securities  available  for sale as of
September  30,  1996 was $105 as compared  to an  unrealized  gain of $388 as of
December 31, 1995.  The Bank's  weighted  average  maturity of the available for
sale  portfolio  was  approximately  1.43 years as of September  30, 1996. It is
estimated by management  that for each 1% change in interest  rates the value of
the Company's available for sale securities will change by 1.26%.
<PAGE>
A substantial portion of the large increase in the available for sale securities
consists  of $6 million of mortgage  backed  securities  purchased  as part of a
hedge  transaction.  The mortgage backed  securities have fixed rates with fixed
maturities of no later than  September  2001, and the purchases were financed by
$30 million in short term repurchase  agreements maturing through December 1996.
See "Asset and Liability Management."

Mortgage  backed  securities are considered to have increased  risks  associated
with them because of the timing of principal repayments.  At September 30, 1996,
the  Bank  had the  following  securities  which  were  mortgage-backed  related
securities:

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

Consolidated  loans  increased to $191  million at September  30, 1996 from $171
million at December  31,  1995.  Management  believes  the  increase in the loan
portfolio  can be  primarily  attributed  to the success of the Bank's  business
development  efforts in  regards  to  commercial  loans and  improvement  in the
economic  environment in the Bank's market area which has created greater demand
for loans in general.

Concentrations  of credit risk arise when a number of  customers  are engaged in
similar business  activities,  or activities in the same geographic  region,  or
have  similar  economic   features  that  would  cause  their  ability  to  meet
contractual  obligations  to  be  similarly  affected  by  changes  in  economic
conditions. Although the Company has a diversified loan portfolio, a substantial
portion  of its  customers'  ability  to honor  contracts  is  reliant  upon the
economic  stability of Santa Clara  County,  which in some degree  relies on the
stability of high technology  companies in its "Silicon  Valley." Although there
has  been  no  sign of an  employment  slow  down,  the  semiconductor  industry
statistics  measuring  orders  versus  sales  (book-to-bill  ratio)  showed some
weakness in the first and second quarters of 1996;  recently there has been some
improvement  in this  ratio.  This  could  suggest a  possible  slow down in the
semiconductor  industry,  which could negatively  impact the economy Santa Clara
County as a whole.  The Bank's loans are generally made on the basis of a secure
repayment  source  and  collateral  is  generally  a  tertiary  source  for loan
qualification.

Approximately  57% of the loan  portfolio is directly  related to real estate or
real  estate  interests,   including  real  estate   construction   loans,  real
estate-other, real estate equity lines (2%) (included in the Consumer category),
mortgage warehouse line (.9%) and loans to real estate developers for short-term
investment purposes (3%) and loans for real estate investments  purposes made to
non-developers  (4%). The latter three types are included in the Other category.
Approximately 36% of the loan portfolio is made up of commercial loans; however,
no particular industry represents a significant portion of such loans.

Inherent in any loan portfolio are risks associated with certain types of loans.
The Company  attempts to limit these risks through  stringent  loan policies and
review procedures. Included in these policies are specific maximum loan-to-value
(LTV) limitations as to various  categories of real estate related loans.  These
ratios are as follows:

                                                                  Maximum LTV
                                                                     Ratio

      Less than $500,000                                              75%
      Greater than $500,000                                           70%
    Other                                                             70%
  Term loans (construction take-out and commercial)                   70%
  Other improved property                                             70%
  Prime equity loans                                                  75%

Any term loans on income  producing  properties must have a maximum debt service
coverage of  at least 1.2 to 1 for non-owner occupied property  and at least 1.1 
to 1 for owner occupied.

One of the significant risks associated with real estate lending is the possible
existence of  environmental  risks or hazards on or in property  affiliated with
the  loan.  The Bank  attempts  to  mitigate  such  risk  through  the use of an
Environmental Risk Questionnaire for all loans secured by real estate. A Phase I
environmental report is required if indicated by the questionnaire or if for any
other reason  management  determines it to be  appropriate.  Other reasons would
include  the  industry  use  of  environmentally  sensitive  substances  or  the
proximity to other known environmental  problems.  A Phase II report is required
in certain cases, depending on the outcome of the Phase I report.

Quality of Loans

A consequence of lending  activities is that losses will be experienced and that
the amount of such  losses will vary from time to time  depending  upon the risk
characteristics of the loan portfolio as affected by economic conditions, rising
interest  rates and the financial  experiences  of borrowers.  The allowance for
possible  loan losses,  which  provides  for the risk of losses  inherent in the
credit extension process, is increased by the provision for possible loan losses
charged to expense and decreased by the amount of charge-offs net of recoveries.
There is no  precise  method  of  predicting  specific  losses or  amounts  that
ultimately  may be charged off on  particular  segments  of the loan  portfolio.
Similarly,  the adequacy of the allowance for possible loan losses and the level
of the related  provision for possible loan losses is determined on a judgmental
basis by management based on consideration of:

              o  Economic conditions;
              o  Borrowers' financial condition;
              o  Loan impairment;
              o  Evaluation of industry trends;
              o  Industry and other concentrations;
              o  Loans which are contractually current as to payment terms but
                      demonstrate a higher degree of risk as identified by
                      management;
              o  Continuing evaluation of the performing loan portfolio;
              o  Monthly review and evaluation of problem loans identified as
                      having loss potential;
              o  Quarterly review by the Board of Directors; and,
              o  Off-balance sheet risks.
              o  Assessments by regulators and other third parties
<PAGE>

In addition to the  continuing  internal  assessment of the loan  portfolio (and
off-balance   sheet  credit  risk,  such  as  letters  of  credit,   etc.),  the
consolidated  fiscal year-end  financial  statements are examined by independent
accountants.  Additionally, the Company retains a consultant who performs credit
reviews on a quarterly  basis.  Also,  examinations  of the loan  portfolio  are
conducted periodically by the Federal banking regulators.

The Company  utilizes a method of assigning a minimum and maximum loss ratio for
each grade of loan within each category of loans (commercial, real estate-other,
real estate  construction,  etc.). Loans are graded on a ranking system based on
management's assessment of the loan's credit quality. The assigned loss ratio is
based upon the Company's  prior  experience,  industry  experience,  delinquency
trends and the level of  nonaccrual  loans.  Loans  secured  by real  estate are
evaluated on the basis of their  underlying  collateral in addition to using the
assigned loss ratios.  The methodology also considers (and assigns a risk factor
for)  current  economic  conditions,   off-balance  sheet  risk  (including  SBA
guarantees and servicing and letters of credit) and concentrations of credit. In
addition,  each loan is evaluated on the basis of whether it is impaired and for
such loans,  the  expected  cash flow is  discounted  on the basis of the loan's
interest  rate.  The  methodology   provides  a  systematic   approach  for  the
measurement of the possible existence of future loan losses.  Management and the
Board of Directors evaluate the allowance and determine the desired level of the
allowance  considering  objective,  in addition to subjective measures,  such as
knowledge of the  borrowers'  business,  valuation of collateral and exposure to
potential losses.  The allowance for possible loan losses was approximately $4.0
million at September 30, 1996, or 2.09% of total loans  outstanding.  Management
believes that the  allowance  for possible loan losses,  determined as described
above, was adequate for foreseeable losses at September 30, 1996.

The allowance for possible loan losses is a general  reserve  available  against
the total loan portfolio and off-balance sheet credit exposure. While management
uses available information to recognize losses on loans, future additions to the
allowance may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions. In addition,
various regulatory  agencies,  as an integral part of their examination process,
periodically  review the Bank's  allowance  for possible  losses on loans.  Such
agencies  may require the Bank to provide  additions to the  allowance  based on
their  judgment  of  information   available  to  them  at  the  time  of  their
examination.

There is uncertainty concerning future economic trends.  Accordingly,  it is not
possible to predict the effect future  economic  trends may have on the level of
the provision for possible loan losses in future periods.

The following  schedule  provides an analysis of the allowance for possible loan
losses:

</TABLE>

During the three and nine months ended  September 30, 1996, the Company  charged
off $155 and $341 and  recovered $83 and $342 on loans  previously  charged off,
respectively. This compares to $125 and $683 and $27 and $168, for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 1995, respectively.  Management does not believe
there were any trends  indicated by the detail of the aggregate  charge-offs for
any of the periods discussed.

The  allowance  for  possible  loan  losses was 650% of  nonperforming  loans at
September 30, 1996 compared to 430% at December 31, 1995. This increase  relates
mainly to the reduction of nonperforming  loans through  collection  efforts and
foreclosure.

Based on an evaluation of individual credits, historical credit loss experienced
by loan type and economic conditions, management has allocated the allowance for

The  allowance  for  possible  loan losses is  maintained  without any  internal
allocation to the segments of the loan  portfolio.  The above  schedule is being
presented  in  accordance   with  the  Securities   and  Exchange   Commission's
requirements to provide an allocation of the allowance.  The allocation is based
on subjective  estimates that take into account  historical  loss experience and
management's  current  assessment  of the relative risk  characteristics  of the
portfolio as of the reporting dates noted above.

===========================================================================================================
</TABLE>

The Company  follows the practice of  discontinuing  the accrual of interest and
reversing any accrued and unpaid  interest  when, in the opinion of  management,
there is significant doubt as to the  collectability of interest or principal or
when the payment of  principal  or interest is ninety days past due,  unless the
loan is well-secured and in the process of collection.

As of September 30, 1996, the Company had  approximately  $704 of  nonperforming
loans,  consisting  of seven loans,  of which,  $550 is secured by commercial or
residential  real  estate.  At December 31, 1995,  nonperforming  loans  totaled
approximately  $894  consisting  of four  loans;  of which two were  secured  by
commercial or residential real estate in the amount of $783.

Management  conducts an ongoing  evaluation  and review of the loan portfolio in
order to identify  potential  nonperforming  loans.  Management  considers loans
which  are  classified  for  regulatory  purposes,  loans  which  are  graded as
classified by the Bank's outside loan review consultant and internal  personnel,
as to whether they (i)  represent or result from trends or  uncertainties  which
management  reasonably  expects will materially impact future operating results,
liquidity,  or capital resources, or (ii) represent material credits about which
management is aware of any information  which causes  management to have serious
doubts as to the ability of such  borrowers  to comply  with the loan  repayment
terms. Based on such reviews as of September 30, 1996, management has identified
two  borrowers  with  an  aggregate  loan  balance of $536 (which is subject  to

<PAGE>

collateral  with a value of  approximately  $457) with  respect  to which  known
information  causes management to have doubts about the borrower's  abilities to
comply with present repayment terms,  such that the loans might  subsequently be
classified as nonperforming.  Changes in general or local economic conditions or
specific  industry  segments,  rising  interest  rates,  declines in real estate
values  and acts of  nature  could  have an  adverse  effect on the  ability  of
borrowers  to repay  outstanding  loans and the value of real  estate  and other
collateral securing such loans.

Other Real Estate Owned

At  September  30,  1996 and  December  31,  1995,  the  Bank had the  following
properties which were acquired through the foreclosure process:

</TABLE>

At the time of foreclosure,  any difference between the loan balance and the net
realizable value of the collateral is charged to the allowance for possible loan
losses.  Foreclosed  property is  recorded at the lower of its revised  basis or
fair value,  less estimated  selling costs.  Any subsequent  decline in value is
charged directly to the income statement.  During the third quarter of 1996, the
11.7 acres of raw land was sold for a gain of $44.  As of July 5, 1996,  the SFR
in  Piedmont  was sold,  which resulted  in an insignificant gain.  The Bank has
entered into a contract  to sell the above  vacant parcels  for an insignificant
loss.  The transaction is expected to close in December 1996.

Commitments and Lines of Credit

It is the  Bank's  policy  not to issue  formal  commitments  or lines of credit
except to a limited number of well-established and financially responsible local
commercial enterprises.  Such commitments can be either secured or unsecured and
are  typically  in the form of revolving  lines of credit for  seasonal  working
capital needs.

Occasionally,  such  commitments  are in the  form  of a  letter  of  credit  to
facilitate the customer's particular business transaction. Commitments and lines
of credit  typically  mature  within  one year.  These  commitments,  to varying
degrees,  involve  credit risk in excess of the amount  recognized  as either an
asset or liability in the statement of financial position.  The Company controls
credit risk through its credit  approval  process.  The same credit policies are
used when entering into such commitments and lines of credit.

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

Deposits as of September 30, 1996, were $230 million compared to $197 million at
December 31, 1995.  The increase in deposits  relates to the growth in all areas
of the Bank's deposit products. The most significant growth occurred in the area
of  interest-bearing  core deposits which increased  approximately  $20 million.
Management believes this growth in  interest-bearing  core deposits has been due
to business  development efforts of the Bank's business development officers and
higher interest rates. In addition  certificates of deposit of greater than $100
increased  approximately  $10 million.  These funds were generated in the Bank's
market area and are primarily associated with the Bank's core depositors.

The Bank raises a substantial  amount of funds through  certificates of deposits
of greater than $100.  These deposits are usually at interest rates greater than
other  types of  deposits  and are more  sensitive  to  interest  rate  changes.
Historically, the Bank's cost of funds has been significantly less than its peer
group.  However,  these  certificates of deposits are usually more interest rate
sensitive, and therefore at maturity their repricing could negatively impact the
Bank's net interest margin without a  corresponding  increase in rates earned on
its earning assets. See "Liquidity."

<PAGE>

Asset/Liability Management

The Company defines interest rate sensitivity as the measurement of the mismatch
in  repricing  characteristics  of assets,  liabilities  and  off-balance  sheet
instruments  at a specified  point in time.  This  mismatch,  or  interest  rate
sensitivity gap,  represents the potential mismatch in the change in the rate of
accrual of interest revenue and interest expense that would result from a change
in interest  rates.  Mismatches  in interest  rate  repricing  among  assets and
liabilities arise primarily from the interaction of various customer  businesses
(i.e.,  types  of  loans  versus  the  types of  deposits  maintained)  and from
management's  discretionary  investment  and  funds  gathering  activities.  The
Company  attempts to manage its exposure to interest rate  sensitivity;  however
due to its size and direct competition from major banks, mutual funds, community
banks  and other  financial  intermediaries  it must  offer  products  which are
competitive  in the market  place even if such  products  are not  optimum  with
respect to its interest rate exposure.

The  Company's  balance  sheet  position  is  asset-sensitive  (based  upon  the
significant  amount of variable rate loans and the repricing  characteristics of
its deposit  accounts).  This balance sheet position  generally provides a hedge
against  rising  interest  rates,  but has a detrimental  effect during times of
interest rate  decreases.  Net interest  revenues are  negatively  impacted by a
decline in interest rates.

To counter its asset sensitive interest rate position,  the Bank entered into an
interest  rate "floor" in the amount of $10 million  which  expires in May 1999.
The Bank has paid a fixed premium of $47 for which it will receive the amount of
interest on $10 million  based on the  difference  of 7% and prime when prime is
less than 7%. This will  protect the Bank  against  decreases  in its net income
when the prime  decreases to less than 7%.  Settlement is done quarterly and the
Bank records the impact of this hedge on an accrual basis.

During 1995 and 1996, the Bank executed several  transactions which are intended
to mitigate  its exposure to a decline in general  market  interest  rates.  The
transactions  involved  the  purchase  of six U.S.  Agency and  mortgage  backed
securities for an aggregate cost of $30 million which were financed  through the
use of repurchase agreements.  The repurchase agreements are shown as short-term
borrowings on the Company's  balance  sheet.  The  securities are fixed rate and
$7.1  million  matures in November  1997,  $10 million  matures in May 1998,  $7
million  matures in July 1998,  $1.4 million in November  2000,  $2.3 million in
June 2001 and $2.2 million in September 2001. The repurchase agreements interest
rates range from 5.38% to 5.53% and mature through December 1996.

The following table quantifies the Company's interest rate exposure at September
30, 1996 based upon the known  repricing dates of certain assets and liabilities
and the  assumed  repricing  dates of others.  Mortgage  backed  securities  are
included in the repricing schedule based upon their market determined prepayment
speeds. At September 30, 1996, the Company was, as noted above,  asset sensitive
in the near term.  This table  displays a static view of the Company's  interest
rate  sensitivity  position  and does not  consider  the dynamics of the balance
sheet and interest rate movements.

The  following  table  shows the  maturity  and  interest  rate  sensitivity  of
commercial,  real estate-other and real estate  construction  loans at September
30, 1996.  Approximately 82% of the commercial and real estate loan portfolio is
priced with floating  interest  rates which limits the exposure to interest rate
risk on long-term loans.

The above table does not take into  account the  possibility  that a loan may be
renewed at the time of maturity.  In most  circumstances,  the Company  treats a
renewal  request in  substantially  the same  manner in which it  considers  the
request for an initial  extension of credit.  The Company does not have a policy
to automatically renew loans.

Capital and Liquidity

Capital

The  Company's  book value per share was $11.75 and $11.02 on September 30, 1996
and December 31, 1995, respectively.  The increase reflects net income per share
of $1.19 less cash  dividends per share of $.15, the impact of the change in the
unrealized  gain (loss) of assets held for sale and  exercise of stock  options.
Shareholders'  equity was $29.7  million and $26.7  million as of September  30,
1996 and December 31, 1995, respectively.

The Federal Reserve Board's  risk-based  capital  guidelines  require that total
capital be in excess of 8% of total assets on a risk-weighted  basis.  Under the
guidelines for a bank holding  company capital  requirements  are based upon the
composition of the Company's  asset base and the risk factors  assigned to those
assets. The guidelines  characterize an institution's  capital as being "Tier 1"
capital  (defined to be principally  shareholders'  equity) and "Tier 2" capital
(defined to be  principally  the allowance  for loan losses,  limited to one and
one-fourth  percent of loans, and other  supplemental  capital).  The guidelines
require  the  Company  to  maintain a  risk-based  capital  target  ratio of 8%,
one-half or more of which should be in the form of Tier 1 capital.

The Comptroller of the Currency also requires SJNB to maintain adequate capital.
The Comptroller's  current regulations require national banks to maintain Tier 1
leverage capital ratio equal to at least 3% to 5% of total assets,  depending on
the Comptroller's evaluation of the Bank.

The Comptroller also has adopted risk-based capital requirements. Similar to the
Federal Reserve's  guidelines,  the amount of capital the Comptroller requires a
bank to  maintain  is based  upon the  composition  of its  asset  base and risk
factors assigned to those assets.  The guidelines require the Bank to maintain a
risk-based  capital  target ratio of 8%,  one-half or more of which should be in
the form of Tier 1 capital.

<PAGE>

The capital of the  Company  and SJNB exceed the amount  required by the various
capital guidelines. The table below summarizes the various capital ratios of the
Company and the Bank at September 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995.

Liquidity

Management strives to maintain a level of liquidity  sufficient to meet customer
requirements  for  loan  funding  and  deposit  withdrawals  in an  economically
feasible   manner.   Liquidity   requirements   are  evaluated  by  taking  into
consideration   factors  such  as  deposit   concentrations,   seasonality   and
maturities,  loan demand,  capital expenditures,  and prevailing and anticipated
economic  conditions.  SJNB's business is generated  primarily  through customer

<PAGE>

referrals and employee business development  efforts;  however the Bank utilizes
purchased deposits to satisfy temporary liquidity needs.

The Bank's  source of  liquidity  consists  of its  deposits  with other  banks,
overnight  funds sold to  correspondent  banks,  short-term  securities  held to
maturity  and  securities  available  for sale and  loans  held for  sale,  less
short-term  borrowings.  At September 30, 1996,  consolidated  net liquid assets
totaled  $64  million or 22% of  consolidated  total  assets as  compared to $52
million or 21% of consolidated total assets on December 31, 1995. In addition to
the liquid  asset  portfolio,  SJNB also has  available  $12 million in lines of
credit with five major commercial banks, a collateralized  repurchase  agreement
with a maximum limit of $40 million (of which approximately $25 million has been
utilized),  a credit  facility  with the  Federal  Reserve  Bank  based on loans
secured by real estate for approximately $6 million.

SJNB is primarily a business  and  professional  bank and, as such,  its deposit
base may be more  susceptible  to  economic  fluctuations  than other  potential
competitors.  Accordingly, management strives to maintain a balanced position of
liquid  assets to volatile and cyclical  deposits.  Commercial  clients in their
normal course of business  maintain  balances in large  certificates of deposit,
the  stability  of which hinge upon,  among other  factors,  market  conditions,
interest rates and business' seasonality. Large certificates of deposit amounted
to 23% of total deposits on September 30, 1996 and 22% at December 31, 1995.

Liquidity is also  affected by portfolio  maturities  and the effect of interest
rate fluctuations on the marketability of both assets and liabilities.  The loan
portfolio  consists  primarily of floating rate,  short-term loans. On September
30, 1996,  approximately 35% of total  consolidated  assets had maturities under
one year and 85% of total  consolidated  loans had  floating  rates  tied to the
prime rate or similar indexes. The short-term nature of the loan portfolio,  and
loan agreements which generally require monthly interest  payments,  provide the
Company with an additional secondary source of liquidity.  There are no material
commitments for capital  expenditures in 1996,  except for the renovation of the
lower level of the Bank's primary facility at a cost of  approximately  $400 (of
which $92 has been expended to date.

Effects of Inflation

The most direct  effect of  inflation on the Company is higher  interest  rates.
Because  a  significant  portion  of the  Bank's  deposits  are  represented  by
non-interest-bearing  demand  accounts,  changes in interest rates have a direct
impact on the  financial  results  of the  Bank.  See the  discussion  regarding
asset/liability  management.  Another effect of inflation is the upward pressure
on the Company's operating expenses. Inflation did not have a material effect on
the Bank's operations in 1995 or the first nine months of 1996.
