                    PACIFIC CAPITAL BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARIES
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)

Note 1 - Basis of Presentation

                  In the  opinion of the  Company,  the  unaudited  consolidated
                  financial  statements,   prepared  on  the  accrual  basis  of
                  accounting, contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal
                  recurring  adjustments)  which are necessary to present fairly
                  the  financial  position of the Company  and  subsidiaries  at
                  September  30, 1996 and December 31, 1995,  the results of its
                  operations  and the  statements  of cash flows for the periods
                  ended September 30, 1996 and 1995.

                   Certain   information  and  footnote   disclosures   normally
                   presented in financial statements prepared in accordance with
                   generally accepted  accounting  principles have been omitted.
                   The results of operations for the period ended  September 30,
                   1996 are not necessarily  indicative of the operating results
                   for the full year ending December 31, 1996.

In October  1995,  the FASB  issued  SFAS No. 123,  Accounting  for  Stock-Based
                   Compensation.  SFAS No. 123 establishes  financial accounting
                   and reporting standards for stock-based employee compensation
                   plans.   Those  plans  include  all   arrangements  by  which
                   employees receive shares of stock or other equity instruments
                   of  the  employer  or  the  employer  incurs  liabilities  to
                   employees  in  amounts  based on the price of the  employer's
                   stock.  Examples are stock  options,  restricted  stock,  and
                   stock  appreciation  rights.  This  statement  defines a fair
                   value based method of accounting for an employee stock option
                   or similar equity instrument. Under this method, compensation
                   costs are  measured  at the grant  date based on the value of
                   the award and are recognized over the service  period,  which
                   is the vesting  period.  SFAS No. 123 encourages but does not
                   require  employers  to adopt  the new  method in place of the
                   provisions of Accounting  Principles  Board Opinion (APB) No.
                   25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.  This statement
                   applies to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995. On
                   January 1, 1996,  the  Company  adopted  SFAS No. 123 and has
                   elected  to use the  method  prescribed  in APB No.  25.  The
                   Company does not  anticipate  that the  required  disclosures
                   will have a material  impact on the  financial  condition  or
                   results of operations.

Note 2 - Consolidation

                  The consolidated  financial statements include the accounts of
                  the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries,  First National
                  Bank of Central California,  (the "Bank"), and Pacific Capital
                  Services  Corporation,  an inactive  subsidiary.  All material
                  intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in
                  consolidation.

Note 3 - Loans to Directors

                  In the ordinary course of business, the Company has made loans
                  to  directors  of the  Company  which at  September  30,  1996
                  amounted to approximately $4,980,000.

Note 4 - Commitments

                   The  Company  had  outstanding  standby  letters of credit of
                   approximately $5,650,000 at September 30, 1996.

Note 5 - Net Income Per Share and Dividends

                  Net income per share is computed  using the  weighted  average
                  number  of  shares  of common  and  common  equivalent  shares
                  outstanding (as adjusted retroactively to reflect the 5% stock
                  dividend paid on December 1, 1995). On January 23, 1996, April
                  23,  1996,  and July 23, 1996 the Company  declared  $0.15 per
                  share cash  dividends to  shareholders  of record on March 15,
                  1996,  June 14, 1996,  and September 16, 1996 payable on March
                  29, 1996, June 28, 1996, and September 30, 1996, respectively.

Note 6 - Taxes

                  As of September 30, 1996, the Company has a deferred tax asset
                  of approximately $2,022,000.  The asset results primarily from
                  the  provisions for possible loan losses and  depreciation  of
                  premises and equipment,  which are recognized in the financial
                  statements but are not yet deductible for income tax reporting
                  purposes.  Management  of the  Company  believes  that the net
                  deferred  tax  asset is fully  realizable  through  sufficient
                  taxable  income  within  carryback  periods and  current  year
                  taxable income.

Note 7 - Proposed Merger

                  On July 18, 1996,  the Company  entered into an Agreement  and
                  Plan  of  Reorganization   ("Agreement")   with  South  Valley
                  Bancorporation   (Commission   File  #  2-78293-LA),   ("South
                  Valley")  pursuant to which  South  Valley will merge with and
                  into  the  Company  in a  merger  transaction  expected  to be
                  accounted for as a pooling-of-interests.  The Company plans to
                  issue .92 shares of Pacific  Capital  Bancorp common stock for
                  each share of South Valley  common  stock,  subject to certain
                  potential downward adjustments described in the Agreement.  It
                  is anticipated that the transaction will be consummated during
                  the fourth quarter of 1996. Based on the outstanding shares of
                  South Valley as of September 30, 1996,  and the exchange ratio
                  specified  in the  Agreement,  the  Company  expects  to issue
                  approximately  1,285,000 shares in connection with the merger.
                  As of  September  30,  1996,  South Valley had total assets of
                  $183,230,000.

                    PACIFIC CAPITAL BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARIES
                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                                       OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Overview of Changes in the Financial Statements

         As used herein,  the term Company shall mean the Company or the Bank as
the context  requires.  Net income for the nine months ended  September 30, 1996
was  $4,112,000  or $1.50 per share  compared to  $3,923,000  or $1.44 per share
during the same period in 1995.  This 4.8%  increase in net income is due mainly
to a $626,000  increase in net interest  income  partially  offset by a $439,000
increase in non-interest  expense. The increase in net interest income is due to
growth in average  total loans of  $32,570,000  partially  offset an increase in
average  interest  bearing  deposits of $39,052,000 as compared to the same 1995
period.

         Outstanding  loans were  $254,844,000 at September 30, 1996 compared to
$211,344,000 at December 31, 1995, a $43,500,000 or 20.6% increase. The increase
in  outstanding  loans from  December  31, 1995 to September  30, 1996  resulted
primarily  from an increase in real estate  mortgage  loans of  $18,256,000,  an
increase in commercial  loans of  $12,146,000  and an increase in other loans of
$17,610,000  partially offset by a decrease in real estate construction loans of
$4,888,000

         Federal Funds Sold and Investment Securities at September 30, 1996 were
$108,612,000,  a $7,113,000 or 6.5%  increase  from December 31, 1995.  This was
primarily due to the increase in total deposits which resulted in an increase in
cash invested in Federal Funds.

         The Company's  total  deposits at September 30, 1996 were  $364,722,000
compared to  $307,819,000 at December 31, 1995, a $56,903,000 or 18.5% increase.
Non-interest  bearing demand deposits  increased  $10,655,000,  interest bearing
demand  deposits  increased  $2,473,000  and  savings and money  market  deposit
accounts increased $7,104,000 in the first nine months of 1996.  Certificates of
deposit  increased by $36,671,000 or 44.6% during the first nine months of 1996.
Management  believes  that the  growth in  deposits  is a result  of the  recent
strength in the tourism and agribusiness  industries  within the local economies
in which the Company  operates.  The loan to deposit ratio at September 30, 1996
was 69.9% as compared to 68.6% at December 31, 1995. The Company's  total assets
as of September 30, 1996 increased 16.7% compared to year end 1995.


Loans

         Outstanding total loans averaged $233,915,000 for the nine months ended
September  30, 1996  compared to  $201,345,000  for the same period in 1995,  an
increase of  $32,570,000,  or 16.2%.  This increase in loans is due to increased
loan demand from qualified borrowers and reflects the strength of the economy in
most of the  primary  markets  which  the  Company  serves.  The  Company  lends
primarily to small and medium  sized  businesses  within its markets,  which are
comprised principally of the Salinas, Watsonville,  Monterey and Carmel areas. A
majority  of  the  Company's  loan  portfolio   consists  of  loans  secured  by
commercial, industrial and residential real estate.


Quality of Loans

         The Company follows the policy of discontinuing the accrual of interest
income and  reversing  any  accrued  and  unpaid  interest  when the  payment of
principal  or interest is 90 days past due unless the loan is both  well-secured
and in the process of collection.

         The  composition  of  non-performing  loans as of  September  30, 1996,
December 31, 1995, and September 30, 1995 is summarized in the following table.

Non Performing Loans                       103.01%        211.38%        137.14%

         The  increase  in  non-performing  loans is  primarily  due to one real
estate loan for $800,000  which has become  delinquent  and is  consequently  on
non-accrual  status as of  September  30,  1996.  The Company does not expect to
sustain  losses  from  any  of  the  non-performing  loans  in  excess  of  that
specifically provided for in the allowance for possible loan losses.  Currently,
the Company's level of non-performing loans to total loans is below that of peer
banks.

         In addition to the above, the Company holds six Other Real Estate Owned
(OREO) properties, which aggregate $1,344,000. In all cases, the amount recorded
represented the lesser of the loan balance or current fair value obtained from a
current appraisal less anticipated selling costs; therefore, any identified loss
has already been recognized.

         Inherent in the  lending  function is the fact that loan losses will be
experienced  and that the risk of loss will vary with the type of loan  extended
and the creditworthiness of the borrower. To reflect the estimated risks of loss
associated  with  its  loan  portfolio,  additions  are  made  to the  Company's
allowance  for possible loan losses.  As an integral  part of this process,  the
allowance for possible loan losses is subject to review and possible  adjustment
as a  result  of  management's  assessment  of risk or  regulatory  examinations
conducted  by  governmental  agencies.  The  Company's  entire  allowance  is  a
valuation  allocation  created by direct charges against  operations through the
provision for possible loan losses.

         The provision for possible loan losses  charged  against  operations is
based upon the actual net loan losses  incurred plus an amount for other factors
which, in management's judgment, deserve recognition in estimating possible loan
losses.  The Company  evaluates  the adequacy of its allowance for possible loan
losses on a quarterly  basis.  For the last several years,  the Company has also
contracted with an independent  loan review  consulting firm to evaluate overall
credit quality and the adequacy of the allowance for possible loan losses.  Both
internal and external evaluations take into account the following: specific loan
conditions as determined by  management;  the  historical  relationship  between
charge-offs  and the level of the  allowance;  the estimated  future loss in all
significant  loans;  known  deterioration in concentrations  of credit,  certain
classes of loans or pledged  collateral;  historical  loss  experience  based on
volume and types of loans;  the results of any independent  review or evaluation
of the loan  portfolio  quality  conducted  by or at the  direction  of  Company
management or by bank regulatory agencies;  trends in portfolio volume, maturity
and  composition;   off-balance   sheet  credit  risk;   volume  and  trends  in
delinquencies and nonaccruals;  lending policies and procedures  including those
for

charge-off,  collection and recovery; national and local economic conditions and
their effects on specific  local  industries;  and the  experience,  ability and
depth of lending management and staff. These factors are essentially  judgmental
and may not be reduced to a mathematical formula.

         The Company closely monitors the local markets in which it conducts its
lending activities. The overall increase in loan demand from qualified borrowers
during  the past  year is  indicative  of the  strength  in the  local  economic
climate.

         The Company did not provide an  additional  provision to the  allowance
for  possible  loan losses for the nine months  ended  September  30,  1996,  or
September 30, 1995,  primarily due to  management's  recognition of the strength
and growth of the local economy,  resulting in a lower level of classified loans
and the reduced potential of future charge-offs.

         The  provision  for possible loan losses  charged  against  earnings is
based upon an analysis of the actual migration of loans to losses plus an amount
for other factors  which,  in  management's  judgment,  deserve  recognition  in
estimating  possible  loan losses.  While these  factors  cannot be reduced to a
mathematical  formula,  it is management's  view that the allowance for possible
loan losses of  $2,188,000  or .86% of total loans was  adequate as of September
30, 1996.

Results of Operations
                      Nine months Ended September 30, 1996
                                  Compared with
                      Nine months Ended September 30, 1995

         Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 was $4,112,000,
an  increase  of  $189,000  or 4.8% as  compared  to the same 1995  period.  The
increase  in net income for the period was due  primarily  to an increase in net
interest  income of $626,000  partially  offset by an  increase in  non-interest
expense of  $439,000.  In addition,  other income  increased by $86,000 over the
same period in 1995.  The  increase in net  interest  income is due to growth in
average total loans of  $32,570,000  partially  offset by an increase in average
interest bearing deposits of $39,052,000 compared to the same 1995 period.

         The average  balance of interest  earning assets during the nine months
ended September 30, 1996 was $342,446,000,  a $44,290,000 or 14.9% increase over
the comparable  1995 period.  The Company's  average yield on earning assets for
the nine months ended  September  30, 1996  decreased  to 8.3%  compared to 8.5%
during the comparable period in 1995. Total interest income increased $2,248,000
or 11.8% for the nine months ended  September 30, 1996 compared to the same 1995
period due to an increase in average interest earning assets of $44,290,000.

         Average  deposits for the Company for the nine months  ended  September
30, 1996 were  $334,172,000,  a $44,185,000  or 15.2%  increase  compared to the
period ended  September 30, 1995.  The  Company's  average cost of funds for the
nine  months  ended  September  30, 1996 was 3.4% which  yielded a net  interest
margin of 5.7%.  This  compares  to an  average  cost of funds of 3.0% and a net
interest  margin of 6.3% for the  comparable  1995 period.  Interest  expense of
$6,639,000 for the nine months ended  September 30, 1996 was $1,622,000 or 32.3%
over the comparable 1995 period due to an increase in average  interest  bearing
deposits of $39,052,000  and an increase in the average rate paid on deposits of
0.4%. Net interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 increased
$626,000 or 4.5% and resulted from the increase of $2,248,000 in total  interest
income partially offset by an increase of $1,622,000 in total interest expense.

         The Company did not make any additional provisions to the allowance for
possible  loan loss for the nine months ended  September  30, 1996 or 1995.  The
analysis  of the loan  portfolio  completed  by the Company  indicates  that the
current allowance for loan losses is adequate based on the Company's  calculated
provision requirements.

         Total loans  charged-off  net of  recoveries  for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996  amounted to $209,000  compared to $193,000 net of recoveries
for the same period in 1995.  Annualized net loan charge-offs as a percentage of
average loans for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 was 0.12% compared to
0.13% for the nine months ended  September  30, 1995 and .09% for the year ended
December 31, 1995.

         Total other income was $1,516,000  for the nine months ended  September
30, 1996, an $86,000 or 6.0% increase  compared to the same period of 1995. Gain
on sale of investment  securities increased by $33,000,  other fees increased by
$31,000,  and mortgage banking fees increased  $28,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1995 partially  offset by a decrease in deposit service charges of
$12,000 as compared to the same period in 1995.

         Salaries and benefits  expense for the nine months ended  September 30,
1996 was  $5,306,000,  a $454,000  or 9.4%  increase  over the  comparable  1995
period.  This variance  resulted  primarily from normal salary  increases and an
increase in the Company's  health insurance  premiums.  The Company employed 163
full time  equivalent  employees at September 30, 1996 compared to 165 full time
equivalent employees at December 31, 1995 and 158 full time equivalent employees
at September 30, 1995.

         Total other  expenses,  excluding  salaries and benefits,  for the nine
months ended September 30, 1996, was $4,187,000, a $15,000 or 0.4% decrease from
the  comparable  1995 period.  This decrease was the result of a decrease in the
Company's  FDIC  Assessment of $306,000  compared to the same period in 1995. In
addition,  

                                      -12-

legal and professional  fees increased from $409,000 in 1995 to $535,000 in 1996
primarily due to legal and accounting fees incurred due to the pending merger of
South Valley  Bancorporation with and into Pacific Capital Bancorp. (See Item 5,
Other  Information)  Other variances  included occupancy expense which increased
$52,000 due to normal rent increases and costs associated with the remodeling of
the  Company's  Salinas  Main Branch.  Advertising  and  promotion  expense also
increased  during the nine months  ended  September  30, 1996 by $32,000 or 9.8%
over the comparable period in 1995.

         Applicable  income  taxes  of  $2,575,000  for the  nine  months  ended
September 30, 1996 were $84,000,  or 3.4% more than the comparable  1995 period.
The Company's  effective  tax rate for the nine months ended  September 30, 1996
was 38.5% compared to 38.8% for the same period in 1995.

Results of Operations
                      Three Months Ended September 30, 1996
                                  Compared with
                      Three Months Ended September 30, 1995

         Net income of $1,353,000 for the three months ended  September 30, 1996
increased by $42,000 or 3.2% as compared to the same 1995  period.  The increase
in net income for the period was due  primarily  to an increase in net  interest
income of  $379,000  mostly  offset by an increase  in  non-interest  expense of
$330,000.

         The average balance of interest  earning assets during the three months
ended  September  30, 1996 was  $361,637,000,  a  $49,578,000  increase over the
comparable  1995  period  due  to  a  $49,087,000   increase  in  average  loans
outstanding  during the quarter.  The Company's  average yield on earning assets
for the three months ended September 30, 1996 decreased to 8.2% from 8.4% during
the  comparable  period in 1995.  The  decrease  in  average  yields is due to a
decrease in rates paid on adjustable rate loans within the loan portfolio due to
rate  decreases in the Prime Rate over the latter part of 1995.  Total  interest
income increased $833,000 or 12.6% for the three months ended September 30, 1996
compared to the same 1995 period due to the increase in average interest earning
assets.

         Average  deposits  for the  Company for the three  month  period  ended
September 30, 1996 were  $355,621,000,  a $52,224,000 or 17.2% increase compared
to the three months ended  September  30, 1995.  The  Company's  average cost of
funds for the three months ended September 30, 1996 was 3.4% which yielded a net
interest margin of 5.6%. This compares to an average cost of funds of 3.2% and a
net  interest  margin of 6.0% for the same period in 1995.  Interest  expense of
$2,379,000  for the three months ended  September 30, 1996 was $454,000 or 23.6%
over the comparable 1995 period due to an increase in average  interest  bearing
deposits of $43,218,000 and, to a lesser extent, an increase in the average rate
paid on deposits of 0.2%.  Net interest  income for the three month period ended
September 30, 1996 increased  $379,000 or 8.1% and resulted from the increase of
$833,000 in total interest  income and an increase of $454,000 in total interest
expense.

         Total loan  charge-offs  net of  recoveries  for the three months ended
September 30, 1996 amounted to $155,000,  compared to $177,000 of net recoveries
for the same period in 1995.  Annualized net loan charge-offs as a percentage of
average loans for the three months ended  September 30, 1996 was 0.25%  compared
to 0.35% for the three months ended September 30, 1995.

         Total other income was  $476,000  for the three months ended  September
30,  1996,  a $2,000  or 0.4%  decrease  compared  to the same  period  of 1995.
Mortgage  banking fees decreased by $18,000 or 45.0% during the third quarter of
1996 compared to the same period in 1995.  Other variances  include gain on sale
of loans which  increased by $7,000 and deposit  service charges which increased
from $351,000 to $356,000 in the third quarter of 1996.

         Salaries and benefits  expense for the three months ended September 30,
1996 was  $1,766,000,  a $121,000  or 7.4%  increase  over the  comparable  1995
period,  and resulted  primarily from normal salary increases and an increase in
the  Company's  group  insurance  premiums.  The Company  employed 161 full time
equivalent  employees at September 30, 1996 compared to 165 full time equivalent
employees  at  December  31,  1995 and 158 full  time  equivalent  employees  at
September 30, 1995.

         Total other expenses,  excluding  salaries and benefits,  for the three
months ended  September 30, 1996, was  $1,573,000,  a $209,000 or 15.3% increase
from the  comparable  1995  period.  The  increase  resulted  primarily  from an
increase in legal and professional fees of $136,000 principally  associated with
the pending merger of South Valley  Bancorporation with and into Pacific Capital
Bancorp.  (See Item 5, Other  Information)  

                                      -13-

<PAGE>

Other  expense  also  increased  in the third  quarter of 1996 to $433,000  from
$375,000 in the same period in 1995 due  primarily  to expense  associated  with
OREO.

         Applicable  income  taxes  of  $844,000  for  the  three  months  ended
September 30, 1996 were $5,000,  or 0.6% more than the  comparable  1995 period.
The Company's  effective tax rate for the three months ended  September 30, 1996
was 38.4% compared to 39.0% for the same period in 1995.

Liquidity Management

         Liquidity   represents   the   ability  of  the  Company  to  meet  the
requirements  of customer  borrowing  needs as well as  fluctuations  in deposit
flows.

         Core  deposits,  which  include  demand,  savings and interest  bearing
demand accounts,  money market accounts and time deposits of less than $100,000,
provide a relatively stable funding base. Core deposits averaged $183,019,000 or
43.1% of average total assets during the three months ended  September 30, 1996,
as compared to $158,984,000 or 45.9% of average total assets for the same period
in 1995. At September 30, 1996 core deposits were $184,672,000 or 44.8% of total
assets, compared to $164,574,000 or 46.5% of total assets at year end 1995.

         The Company's  principal  sources of asset  liquidity are cash and cash
due from banks, time deposits with other financial  institutions,  Federal Funds
sold, short term investments,  and available-for-sale  investment securities. At
September  30, 1996 these  sources  represented  $131,779,000  or 36.1% of total
deposits  compared to  $117,794,000  or 38.3% at year end 1995. This increase in
liquid assets for the nine months ended  September  30, 1996 resulted  primarily
from an increase in Federal Funds sold and short term investments.

         In the opinion of management,  there are  sufficient  resources to meet
the liquidity needs of the Company at present and projected future levels.

Capital Resources

         Capital  management  is a  continuous  process  of  providing  adequate
capital for current needs and  anticipated  future  growth.  Capital serves as a
source of funds for the  acquisition  of fixed and  other  assets  and  protects
depositors against potential losses. As the Company's assets increase, so do its
capital requirements.

         The  Company  and  the  Bank  are  subject  to  Federal  Reserve  Board
guidelines and regulations of the  Comptroller of the Currency  ("Comptroller"),
respectively,   governing  capital  adequacy.  The  Federal  Reserve  Board  has
established  final risk-based and leverage  capital  guidelines for bank holding
companies  which  are the  same as the  Comptroller's  capital  regulations  for
national banks.

         The Federal Reserve Board capital guidelines for bank holding companies
and  the  Comptroller's   regulations  for  national  banks  set  total  capital
requirements and define capital in terms of "core capital elements"  (comprising
Tier 1 capital) and "supplemental capital elements" (comprising Tier 2 capital).
Tier 1 capital is generally defined as the sum of the core capital elements less
goodwill.  The  following  items are defined as core  capital  elements:  common
stockholders' equity,  qualifying  noncumulative  perpetual preferred stock, and
minority  interests  in  the  equity  accounts  of  consolidated   subsidiaries.
Supplementary  capital  elements  include:  allowance  for loan and lease losses
(which cannot exceed 1.25% of an institution's risk weighted assets),  perpetual
preferred stock not qualifying as core capital,  hybrid capital  instruments and
mandatory   convertible  debt  instruments,   and  term  subordinated  debt  and
intermediate-term  preferred stock.  The maximum amount of supplemental  capital
elements which qualifies as Tier 2 capital is limited to 100% of Tier 1 capital,
net of goodwill.

         Risk-based   capital   ratios  are   calculated   with   reference   to
risk-weighted assets,  including both on and off-balance sheet exposures,  which
are multiplied by certain risk weights  assigned by the Federal Reserve Board to
those assets.  Both bank holding  companies  and national  banks are required to
maintain a minimum ratio of qualifying total capital to risk-weighted  assets of
8%, at least one-half of which must be in the form of Tier 1 capital.  There are
presently  four  risk-weight   categories:   0%  for  cash  and  unconditionally
guaranteed government  securities;  20% for conditionally  guaranteed government
securities;  50% for performing  residential  real estate loans secured by first
liens; and 100% for commercial loans.

                                      -14-

<PAGE>

         The Federal Reserve Board and the Comptroller  also have  established a
minimum  leverage  ratio of 3% Tier I capital to total  assets for bank  holding
companies and national banks that have received the highest composite regulatory
rating and are not  anticipating or experiencing  any  significant  growth.  All
other institutions will be required to maintain a leverage ratio of at least 100
to 200 basis points above the 3% minimum.

         The following  tables show the Company's and the Bank's  risk-based and
leverage  capital  ratios as of September  30, 1996 and  December  31, 1995.  As
indicated  in  these  tables,  the  Company's  and  the  Bank's  capital  ratios
significantly  exceeded the minimum  capital levels  required by current federal
regulations.  Management believes that the Company and the Bank will continue to
meet their respective minimum capital requirements in the foreseeable future.

         Federal banking laws impose  restrictions  upon the amount of dividends
the Bank may declare to the Company.  Federal laws also impose restrictions upon
the  amount of loans or  advances  that the Bank may extend to the  Company.  In
management's opinion, these do not affect the ability of the Company to meet its
cash obligations.

                   each share of South Valley common  stock,  subject to certain
                   potential downward adjustments described in the Agreement. It
                   is  anticipated  that  the  transaction  will be  consummated
                   during the fourth  quarter of  1996.Based  n the  outstanding
                   shares of South  Valley as of  September  30,  1996,  and the
                   exchange  ratio  specified in the Definitive  Agreement,  the
                   Company expects to issue  approximately  1,285,000  shares in
                   connection with the merger.  As of September 30, 1996,  South
                   Valley had total assets of $183,230,000.
