CIVIC BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     The unaudited consolidated financial statements of Civic BanCorp and
     subsidiary (the Company) have been prepared in accordance with generally
     accepted accounting principles and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. In
     the opinion of management, all necessary adjustments have been made to
     fairly present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows
     for the interim periods presented. These unaudited consolidated financial
     statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report
     on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1996. The results of
     operations and cash flows are not necessarily indicative of those expected
     for the complete fiscal year. Net income per common share computed on a
     primary and fully diluted basis is substantially the same.

2.   NEW PRONOUNCEMENT

     In February, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issues Statement of
     Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, (FAS128), Earnings Per Share. This
     statement specifies the computation, presentation and disclosure
     requirements for earnings per share and is effective for both interim and
     annual periods ending after December 15, 1997. Earlier application is not
     permitted. The Company does not believe FAS 128 will have a material effect
     on its financial statements.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND 
        RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

               FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1997 AND 1996
OVERVIEW

For the three months ended March 31, 1997, the Company reported net income of
$1,050,000, or $.23 per share compared to a net income of $925,000 or $.20 per
share for the same period of the prior year. The annualized return on average
assets was 1.47% for the three months ended March 31, 1997 compared to 1.57% for
the same period of the prior year. The annualized return on average
shareholders' equity for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996 was
12.19% and 12.37%, respectively.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 1997 was $4.3 million,
increasing $300,000 or 8.3% from net interest income of $4.0 million for the
same period in 1996. The increase in net interest income is primarily due to an
increase in the volume of earning assets offset by an increase in the volume of
interest bearing liabilities.

Total interest income for the first three months of 1997 equaled $5.9 million,
an increase of $800,000 from interest income earned in the same period in 1996.
The increase in total interest income is primarily attributed to the increase in
volume of earning assets. Average earning assets increased $47.8 million or
21.9% to $266.5 million for the first quarter of 1997 compared to $218.7 million
for the first quarter of 1996.

Total interest expense for the first three months of 1997 equaled $1.6 million
and increased $.5 million or 43.9% from the $1.1 million for the three months
ended March 31, 1996 due to an increase of $39.3 million or 28.4% in the volume
on interest bearing deposits. Savings and time deposits as a percentage of total
deposits increased to 27.0% from 21.3% for the three months ended 1997 and 1996.

(1) Changes not solely attributed to rate or volume have been allocated to 
    volume.
(2) Loan fees are reflected in rate variances.

Net Interest Margin

The net interest margin declined 64 basis points to 6.63% for the first quarter
of 1997 from 7.27% for the same period of the prior year. The decrease in the
margin is attributed to the decline in average rate earned on earning assets of
25 basis points and the increase in the average rate paid on interest bearing
deposits of 43 basis points. The decline in the yield on earning assets 

                                       8
<PAGE>
 
was due to a lower average reference rate for the first quarter of 1997 as
compared to the first quarter of the prior year. The average reference rate was
8.25% for the first quarter of 1997 as compared to an average rate of 8.42% for
the first quarter of 1996. Approximately 90% of the loans in the portfolio have
adjustable interest rates based on the Bank's reference rate. The increase in
the average rate paid on interest bearing deposits reflects a higher interest
rate environment for deposits and an increase in time deposits as a percentage
of interest bearing deposits to 38.1% for the first quarter of 1997 from 31.1%
for the same quarter of the prior year.

Provision for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses for the three months ended March 31, 1997 was
$25,000, a decrease of $200,000 or 88.9% from the three months ended March 31,
1996. The amount of the provision was reduced because management believed the
reserve for loan loss is adequate and because loan recoveries exceeded
charge-offs by $47,000 during the first quarter of 1997. Charge-offs exceeded
recoveries by $109,000 for the first quarter of 1996.

Non-Interest Income

Non-interest income for the three months ended March 31, 1997 was $217,000, an
increase of $38,000 or 21.2% from the three months ended March 31, 1996. The
increase in customer service fees is attributed to the increase in deposits and
an increase in foreign trade transaction volume.

Non-Interest Expense

Salaries and employee benefits for the three months ended March 31, 1997
increased $117,000 or 7.6% from the same period in 1996 due to an increase in
incentive accruals and normal merit increases. Full time equivalent personnel
numbered 103 on March 31, 1997 compared to 102 on March 31, 1996.

Non-interest expense totaled $2.8 million for the three months ended March 31,
1997 and 1996, respectively. FDIC assessments increased $6,000 or 600.0% for the
first quarter of 1997 as compared to the prior year due to the addition of a
FICO assessment. The Company reduced the volume of external marketing consulting
in 1997 from 1996 which reduced the level of consulting expenses.

For the three months ended March 31, 1997 the Company had no write-downs
associated with foreclosed assets and incurred $24,000 in expenses associated
with managing, maintaining and liquidating foreclosed assets compared to a
write-down of $50,000 and expenses of $30,000 for the three months ended March
31, 1996.

The following table summarizes the significant components of noninterest expense
for the dates indicated.

Provision for Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes for the first quarter of 1997 increased to
$580,000 from $195,000 for the same quarter of the prior year. These provisions
represent effective tax rates of 36% and 17%, respectively. The 1997 provision
represents a more normalized effective tax rate as compared to the 1996
provision which included the tax benefits of prior period operating losses and
tax carryforward items. Beginning July 1, 1996, the effective date of the
quasi-reorganization, certain tax benefits which arose prior to the date of the
quasi-reorganization, are being reported as a direct adjustment to common stock.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Loans

Average loans increased $29 million or 18.3% to $188.2 million for the three
months ended March 31, 1997 from $159.1 million for the same period in 1996. The
increase in average loans is attributed to an improving economic environment and
an overall increase in loan demand.

Real estate construction loans as a percentage of total loans outstanding were
4.1% at March 31, 1997 compared to 2.6% at March 31, 1996. Risks associated with
real estate construction lending are generally considered to be higher than
risks associated with other forms of lending and accordingly, the Bank continues
to fund real estate construction commitments on a limited basis with more
stringent underwriting criteria.

Other real estate loans consist of mini-perm loans and land acquisition loans
which are primarily owner-occupied and are generally granted based on the rental
or lease income stream generated by the property. Other real estate loans
totaled $65.2 million at March 31, 1997, an increase of $9.3 million or 16.6%
from March 31, 1996.

The following table sets forth the amount of loans outstanding in each category
and the percentage of total loans outstanding for each category as of the date
indicated.

At March 31, 1997, the recorded investment in loans considered to be impaired
under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 114 "Accounting by
Creditors for Impairment of a Loan" as amended by Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 118 was $2,945,000 all of which were on a non-accrual
basis. Included in this amount was $13,000 of impaired loans for which the
related allowance for loan losses was $9,000 and $2,932,000 of impaired loans
which approximate the fair value of the supporting collateral and accordingly do
not have an associated allowance for loan loss. For the quarter ended March 31,
1997, the average recorded investment in impaired loans was $2,940,000 and no
interest income was recognized on impaired loans. If interest income on those
loans had been recognized, such income would have approximated $52,000.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level that management of the
Company considers to be adequate for losses that can be reasonably anticipated
in relation to the risk of future losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The
allowance is increased by charges to operating expenses and reduced by net
charge-offs.

                                       11
<PAGE>
 
In assessing the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, management relies on
its ongoing review of the loan portfolio to identify potential problem loans in
a timely manner, ascertains whether there are probable losses which must be
charged off and assesses the aggregate risk characteristics of the portfolio.
Factors which influence management's judgment include the impact of forecasted
economic conditions, historical loan loss experience, the evaluation of risks
which vary with the type of loan, creditworthiness of the borrower and the value
of the underlying collateral. Management believes the allowance for loan losses
was adequate at March 31, 1997.

The following table summarizes the changes in the allowance for loan losses for
the periods indicated:

Potential Problem Loans

At March 31, 1997 there were no loans classified for regulatory purposes as
loss, doubtful, substandard or special mention that have not been disclosed in
the discussion above that (i) represented or resulted from trends or
uncertainties which management anticipated would have a material impact on
future operating results, liquidity, capital resources or (ii) represented
material credits about which management was aware of information that would
cause serious doubt as to the ability of the borrower to comply with the loan
repayment terms.

Certificates of deposit over $100,000 are generally considered a higher cost and
less stable form of funding than lower denomination deposits and may represent a
greater risk of interest rate and volume volatility than small retail deposits.
Time certificates of $100,000 or more at March 31, 1997 had the following

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Liquidity

Liquidity management refers to the Bank's ability to acquire funds to meet loan
demand, fund deposit withdrawals and to service other liabilities.

To augment liquidity, the Bank has informal federal funds borrowing arrangements
with correspondent banks totaling $24.0 million and is a member of the Federal
Home Loan Bank of San Francisco and through membership has the ability to pledge
qualifying collateral for short term (up to six months) and long term (up to
five years) borrowing. At March 31, 1997 the Bank had no outstanding borrowings
against these arrangements. Additionally, at March 31, 1997, unpledged
government securities that are available to secure additional borrowing in the
form of reverse repurchase agreements totaled approximately $46.6 million. At
March 31, 1997 the Bank had no reverse repurchase agreements.

The liquidity position of the Company declined during the first quarter of 1997
from December 31, 1996 as cash flows required for financing and investing
activities exceeded the funds provided by operating activities by $28.1 million.
Cash and cash equivalents of $14.1 million were required to accommodate deposit
withdrawals and cash and cash equivalents of $16.2 million were required to fund
investing activities which were partially funded by operating activities, which
provided $2.2 million of cash and cash equivalents.

The liquidity position of the Company may be expressed as a ratio defined as (a)
cash, Federal funds sold, other unpledged short term investments and marketable
securities, including those maturing after one year, divided by (b) total assets
less pledged securities. Using this definition at March 31, 1997, the Company
had a liquidity ratio of 28.1% as compared to 36.5% at December 31, 1996. The
liquidity ratio at December 31, 1996 included $29.3 million of over-night
Federal Funds sold which is an unusually

high level. Federal Funds sold at March 31, 1997 were $4.6 million which is a
more typical level. The liquidity ratio at March 31, 1997 is considered
adequate.

Capital Resources

Total shareholders' equity increased to $34.4 million at March 31, 1997 from
$34.1 million at December 31, 1996 resulting from retained income of $1,050,000
for the first quarter of 1997 offset by the market adjustment of securities
available for sale and a net reduction of $517,000 in common stock due to stock
repurchases.

The Company and the Bank are subject to capital adequacy guidelines issued by
the Federal Reserve Board of Governors which require a minimum risk-based
capital ratio of 8%. At least 4% must be in the form of "Tier 1" capital and
consists of common equity, non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock and minority
interests in the equity accounts of consolidated subsidiaries. "Tier 2" capital
consists of cumulative and limited-life preferred stock, mandatory convertible
securities, subordinated debt and, subject to certain limitations, the allowance
for loan losses. General loan loss reserves included in Tier 2 capital cannot
exceed 1.25% of risk-weighted assets.

At March 31, 1997 the Company's risk-based capital ratio was 16.00%. The
following table presents the Company's risk-based capital and leverage ratios as
of March 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996.
