        INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT NOT FORMING PART OF REGISTRATION STATEMENT

     SJNB  Financial  Corp.   ("Registrant")   hereby  amends  its  Registration
Statement on Form S-4 (Registration No. 333-89013) filed on October 14, 1999, as
amended by that certain Pre-Effective Amendment No. 1 filed on October 27, 1999,
by  filing  this  Post-Effective  Amendment  No.  1 on Form S-8  relating  to an
aggregate of 184,082  shares of Common Stock of the Registrant  (the  "Shares").
The Shares to be registered hereunder are issuable by the Registrant pursuant to
options to issue shares assumed by the  Registrant  pursuant to an Agreement and
Plan of  Merger,  dated as of  August  27,  1999  (the  "Agreement"),  among the
Registrant,  Saratoga  Bancorp and  Saratoga  National  Bank.  Such options were
originally  granted  under (i) the  Saratoga  Bancorp 1982 Stock Option Plan and
(ii) the  Saratoga  Bancorp  1994  Stock  Option  Plan,  each as amended to date
(collectively, the "Plans"). Pursuant to the Agreement, Saratoga Bancorp will be
merged (the  "Merger")  with and into San Jose  National  Bank,  a  wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Registrant.  Options to purchase Saratoga Bancorp Common Stock
granted under the Plans and outstanding  immediately  prior to the completion of
the Merger shall become  options to purchase the Common Stock of the  Registrant
at the effective time of the Merger.

     Pursuant to its Registration Statement on Form S-4, as amended,  Registrant
registered  1,367,152  shares of its Common  Stock,  representing  the number of
shares of its Common Stock issuable in connection with the Agreement in exchange
for Saratoga  Bancorp Common Stock,  assuming  exercise of all then  outstanding
options to purchase  Saratoga  Bancorp  Common Stock.  The  designation  of this
Post-Effective  Amendment No. 1 as Registration No. 333-89013  denotes that this
Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 relates only to an aggregate of 184,082 shares of
Common Stock of the Registrant issuable upon conversion of options granted under
the Plans  listed above and that this is the first  post-effective  amendment to
the Form S-4.

Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities  Act").  These documents and

                                     PART II

               INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT

Item 3.        Incorporation of Certain Documents by Reference.

     The  following  documents  filed  by  Registrant  with the  Securities  and
Exchange   Commission  are  incorporated  by  reference  in  this   Registration
Statement:

     (1) The  Registrant's  Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 1998;

     (2) The Registrant's  Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarters ending
March 31, 1999, June 30, 1999 and September 30, 1999;

     (3) All other reports of the Registrant  pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d)
of the Securities  Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange  Act") since December 31,
1998;

     (4) The  description  of the  Registrant's  Common  Stock  contained in the
Registration  Statement (and past and future amendments  thereto) for such stock
filed under Section 12 of the Exchange Act.

     In addition, all documents subsequently filed by the Registrant pursuant to
Section 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, prior
to the filing of a post-effective  amendment which indicates that all securities
offered  have been  sold or which  deregisters  all  securities  then  remaining
unsold,  shall be deemed to be  incorporated  by reference in this  registration
statement and to be a part hereof from the date of filing of such documents.

     Any  statement  contained  in a  document  incorporated  or  deemed  to  be
incorporated  by reference  herein shall be deemed to be modified or  superseded
for  purposes  of this  Registration  Statement  to the extent  that a statement
contained herein or in any other subsequently filed document which also is or is
deemed to be  incorporated  by  reference  herein  modifies or  supersedes  such
statement.  Any such  statement so modified or  superseded  shall not be deemed,
except as so modified or superseded,  to constitute a part of this  Registration
Statement.

Item 4.        Description of Securities.

     Not applicable.

Item 5.        Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

     Not applicable.

Item 6.        Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

     Section  317 of the  California  Corporations  Code  authorizes  a court to
award, or a corporation's  board of directors to grant,  indemnity to directors,
officers,  employees  and other agents of the  corporation  ("Agents")  in terms
sufficiently broad to permit such  indemnification  under certain  circumstances
for liabilities  (including  reimbursement for expenses  incurred) arising under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

     Article  V of the  Registrant's  Articles  of  Incorporation,  as  amended,
authorizes  the  Registrant to indemnify its Agents,  through bylaw  provisions,
agreements,  votes of shareholders or disinterested  directors or otherwise,  in
excess  of  the  indemnification  otherwise  permitted  by  Section  317  of the
California  Corporations  Code,  subject to the  applicable  limits set forth in
Section  204 of the  California  Corporations  Code with  respect to actions for
breach  of  duty  to the  Registrant  and its  shareholders.  Article  VI of the
Registrant's  Bylaws provides for mandatory  indemnification of each director to
the maximum extent permitted by the California General Corporation Law.

     The  Registrant  maintains a directors' and officers'  liability  insurance
policy that indemnifies the Registrant's  directors and officers against certain
losses in connection with claims made against them for certain wrongful acts. In
addition,  the Registrant has entered into separate  indemnification  agreements
with its directors and officers that require the Registrant, among other things,
to indemnify them against certain  liabilities that may arise by reason of their
status or service as Agents of the registrant to the maximum extent permitted by
the California General Corporation Law.

Item 7.        Exemptions from Registration Claimed.

     Not applicable.

Item 8.        Exhibits.

5.1            Opinion of Pillsbury Madison & Sutro LLP.

23.1           Consent of KPMG LLP, Independent Auditors.

23.2           Consent of Pillsbury Madison & Sutro LLP (included in Exhibit
               5.1).

24.1-24.20     Powers of Attorney

Item 9.        Undertakings.

          (a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

               (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being
          made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:

                    (i) To include any prospectus  required by  section 10(a)(3)
               of the Securities Act of 1933;

                    (ii) To  reflect  in the  prospectus  any  facts  or  events
               arising after the effective  date of the  registration  statement
               (or the most  recent  post-effective  amendment  thereof)  which,
               individually or in the aggregate,  represent a fundamental change
               in the  information  set  forth  in the  registration  statement.
               Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume
               of  securities  offered (if the total dollar value of  securities
               offered  would not  exceed  that  which was  registered)  and any
               deviation  from  the low or  high  end of the  estimated  maximum
               offering  range may be reflected in the form of prospectus  filed
               with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate,
               the  changes  in volume  and price  represent  no more than a 20%
               change in the maximum  aggregate  offering price set forth in the
               "Calculation  of   Registration   Fee"  table  in  the  effective
               registration statement;

                    (iii) To include any  material  information  with respect to
               the  plan  of  distribution  not  previously   disclosed  in  the
               registration statement or any material change to such information
               in the registration statement;

          Provided,  however,  that  paragraphs  (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not
          apply if the  registration  statement  is on Form S-3 or Form S-8, and
          the information required to be included in a post-effective  amendment
          by those  paragraphs  is  contained in periodic  reports  filed by the
          Registrant  pursuant to section 13 or  section 15(d) of the Securities
          Exchange  Act of  1934  that  are  incorporated  by  reference  in the
          registration statement.

               (2) That, for the purpose of determining  any liability under the
          Securities Act of 1933,  each such  post-effective  amendment shall be
          deemed to be a new registration  statement  relating to the securities
          offered  therein,  and the  offering of such  securities  at that time
          shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

               (3) To  remove  from  registration  by means of a  post-effective
          amendment any of the securities  being  registered which remain unsold
          at the termination of the offering.

          (b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
     determining  any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of
     the  Registrant's  annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d)
     of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by reference in
     the  registration  statement  shall  be  deemed  to be a  new  registration
     statement relating to the securities  offered therein,  and the offering of
     such  securities  at that time shall be deemed to be the initial  bona fide
     offering thereof.

          (c)  Insofar as  indemnification  for  liabilities  arising  under the
     Securities  Act of  1933  may  be  permitted  to  directors,  officers  and
     controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions,
     or otherwise,  the  Registrant  has been advised that in the opinion of the
     Securities and Exchange  Commission such  indemnification is against public
     policy as expressed  in the Act and is,  therefore,  unenforceable.  In the
     event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than
     the payment by the  Registrant of expenses  incurred or paid by a director,
     officer or controlling  person of the Registrant in the successful  defense
     of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or
     controlling person in connection with the securities being registered,  the
     Registrant  will,  unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been
     settled  by  controlling  precedent,  submit  to  a  court  of  appropriate
     jurisdiction  the question  whether such  indemnification  by it is against
     public  policy as  expressed  in the Act and will be  governed by the final
     adjudication of such issue.

          Re: Registration Statement on Form S-8


Ladies and Gentlemen:

     We refer to the  Registration  Statement  on  Form S-8  (the  "Registration
Statement") to be filed by SJNB Financial  Corp., a California  corporation (the
"Registrant"),  with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities
Act of 1933,  as  amended,  relating  to 184,082  shares of Common  Stock of the
Registrant  (the  "Shares")  issuable  upon the  exercise of options  originally
granted by Saratoga Bancorp ("Saratoga").  The Shares to be registered hereunder
