INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Trustee of the Ventura County National Bancorp
401(k)/Employee Stock Ownership Plan
Oxnard, California:
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for plan
benefits of the Ventura County National Bancorp 401(k)/Employee Stock Ownership
Plan (the "Plan") as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the related statements
of changes in net assets available for plan benefits for the years ended
December 31, 1995, 1994, and 1993. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets available for plan benefits of the Plan as
of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the changes in net assets available for plan
benefits for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994, and 1993 in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.
Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules of (1) assets
held for investment purposes at December 31, 1995 and (2) reportable
transactions for the year ended December 31, 1995 are presented for the purpose
of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial
statements but are supplementary information required by
<PAGE>
the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure
under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The supplemental
schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits
of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all
material respects when considered in relation to the basic financial statements
taken as a whole.

VENTURA COUNTY NATIONAL BANCORP
401(k)/EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. PLAN DESCRIPTION AND RELATED INFORMATION
The following description of the Ventura County National Bancorp
401(k)/Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the "Plan") is provided for general
information purposes only. Participants should refer to the Plan agreement
for a more complete description of the Plan's provisions.
General - The Plan is a defined contribution 401(k) and Employee Stock
Ownership Plan (ESOP) covering all employees of Ventura County National
Bancorp (the "Company"), Ventura County National Bank and Frontier Bank,
N.A. who have completed 90 days of service and are age twenty-one or older
prior to January, April, July and October of each Plan year. The Plan was
adopted on October 1, 1987 to allow eligible employees to acquire a
proprietary interest in common stock of the Company as well as help meet
their retirement and other future needs. The Plan also permits employees to
defer part of their salaries for savings on a pretax basis. The Internal
Revenue Service has determined that it is a qualified plan and is subject
to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974
("ERISA").
Administration - The Company is the plan administrator and is responsible
for the filing of all reports required of the Plan, and has paid all
expenses related to the administration of the Plan during the years ended
December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993.
Contributions - Contributions to the Plan can be made under the following
provisions:
Salary Deferral (Pretax) Contributions - Pursuant to Section 401(k) of
the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code"), each participant may
contribute, on a pretax basis, from 1% to 12% of his or her base
compensation to the Plan. Total individual contributions in calendar
years 1995, 1994 and 1993 were limited to $9,500, $9,240 and $8,994,
respectively.
Employer Non-elective Matching Contribution - The Company may make a
discretionary matching contribution equal to a percentage of the
employee's elected contribution.
Employer Non-elective ESOP Contribution - The Company may make a
discretionary contribution to the Plan which is designated to be used
to purchase the Company's common stock. In 1995, the Company
contributed $626,479 as part of the loan write-down agreement (see
note 5). No non-elective ESOP contributions were made in 1994.
-11-
<PAGE>
The employer's annual contribution to the Plan is not guaranteed and, as
defined in the Plan agreement, may not exceed the lessor of 25% of total
compensation or $30,000 per employee.
Participant Accounts - Separate accounts are maintained for each participant.
Each participant employee is credited with his or her contribution and an
allocation of the Employer's Non-elective Matching and ESOP contribution, as
well as investment earnings of the Plan. Allocations are based on participant
earnings or account balances, as defined. The benefit to which a participant
is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participant's vested
account.
Vesting - Participants are immediately vested in their voluntary contributions
plus actual earnings thereon. The Plan was amended during 1994 to allow for
accelerated vesting in the Company's contributions, which is based on years of
credited service, as shown in the following table:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
Vested Interest
Years of In Company's
Vesting Service Contributions
<S> <C>
Less than 1 0%
1 20%
2 40%
3 60%
4 80%
5 100%
</TABLE>
Investment Options - Upon enrollment in the Plan, a participant may direct
his/her contributions in any available investment options. Participants may
change their investment options quarterly.
Loans to Participants - Participants may obtain loans from the Plan with
consent of the plan administrator. Generally, a participant may borrow the
lesser of $50,000 or 50% of his or her vested account balance. The repayment
period of the loan cannot exceed five years, except for loans used to acquire
a principal residence. Interest rates are established by institutional lenders
at prevailing interest rates.
Benefit Payments - On termination of service due to death, disability or
retirement, a participant may elect to receive his or her distribution in a
lump-sum payment or in monthly, quarterly, or annual installments.
Plan Termination - Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the
Company has the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any
time and to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the
event of Plan termination, participants will become 100% vested in their
accounts.

<PAGE>
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Accounting - The Plan's financial statements are presented on the
accrual basis of accounting.
Investment Valuation and Income Recognition - Investments are stated at
fair value. Investments in mutual funds are stated at quoted extended
market prices. Investments in common stock are stated at the last publicly
quoted sales price or the bid price if not traded on a stock exchange.
Purchases and sales are recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest income is
recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend
date.
Benefit Payable - In 1993, the Plan changed its method of accounting for
benefits payable to comply with the 1993 AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide,
Audits of Employee Benefit Plans, which requires that benefits payable to
persons who have withdrawn from participation in a defined contribution
plan be disclosed in the footnotes to the financial statements rather than
be recorded as a liability of the Plan. Net assets available for plan
benefits at December 31, 1995 and 1994 include $164,799 and $130,000,
respectively, for participants who have withdrawn from the Plan but have
not yet been paid their vested benefits.
Reclassification - Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1994
financial statements in order to conform to the 1995 financial statement
presentation.

4. TAX STATUS
The Internal Revenue Service has determined and informed the Company by
letter dated July 27, 1995 that the Plan is designed in accordance with
applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code ("IRC").
5. NOTE PAYABLE AND EXTRAORDINARY ITEM
On October 15, 1989, the Plan borrowed $4,000,000 from the Company, which
was used to purchase 444,444 shares of the Company's common stock at a
price of $9.00 per share. Purchased shares were maintained in a suspense
account, pledged as collateral for the note payable and were used to
establish the ESOP. Shares were released for allocation to individuals
based on the ratio of current year principal and interest payments to total
current and future principal and interest payments. The loan was payable in
equal monthly installments of $47,619 plus interest on the outstanding
principal balance equal to 75% of the lender's base rate (8.5% at December
31, 1995) plus 1.5%. Payments on the loan were funded by contributions from
the Company. The Company suspended contributions during 1994.
The Company wrote down the note by $1,161,647 in 1995, and signed an
agreement to contribute the remaining $626,479 to pay off the loan and
accrued interest. The contribution was made in January 1996 for the year
ending December 31, 1995. All remaining shares of stock were released for
allocation in 1995 to participants who were eligible.
