The Board of Directors and Shareholders
East County Bank

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of East County Bank as of
December 31, 1999, and the related statements of earnings, shareholders' equity,
and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Bank's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. The financial
statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 1998 were audited by
another auditor whose report dated January 22, 1999 expressed an unqualified
opinion on those statements.

We conducted our audit 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of East County Bank at December
31, 1999, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then
ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                    Years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998

NOTE A - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

  East County Bank (the "Bank") was organized as an association for the purpose
  of banking under the laws of the United States, on January 6, 1986. On October
  9, 1998, the Bank converted from a national bank to a state bank chartered by
  the State of California. On this date, each share of the Bank's common stock
  was automatically converted to no par value common stock. The Articles of
  Incorporation provide for the issuance of 20,000,000 shares of common stock,
  no par value and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, no par value as
  authorized by the Bank's Board of Directors.

  The Bank operates as a commercial bank with offices in the cities of Antioch,
  Concord, Walnut Creek, and Sacramento, California. The Bank provides
  traditional commercial banking services to individuals and small and medium-
  sized businesses through three branches and one loan production office serving
  the nine county San Francisco Bay Area. The Walnut Creek branch was opened in
  November 1999. The accounting and reporting policies of the Bank conform to
  generally accepted accounting principles and general practice within the
  banking industry.

  In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
  accounting principles, management is required to make estimates and
  assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the
  disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
  statements and revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
  results could differ from those estimates.

  A summary of the significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of
  the accompanying financial statements follows:

  1. Fair values of financial instruments

  The financial statements include various estimated fair value information as
  of December 31, 1999 and 1998. Such information, which pertains to the Bank's
  financial instruments, does not purport to represent the aggregate net fair
  value of the Bank. Further, the fair value estimates are based on various
  assumptions, methodologies and subjective considerations, which vary widely
  among different financial institutions and which are subject to change. The
  following methods and assumptions are used by the Bank.

  Cash and cash equivalents: The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet
  for cash and short-term instruments approximate those assets' fair values.

                                      12

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                    Years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998

NOTE A - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED

  Securities: Fair values for securities are based on quoted market prices,
  where available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are
  based on quoted market prices of comparable instruments.

  Loans receivable: For variable-rate loans that reprice frequently and have no
  significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values.
  The fair values for other loans are estimated using discounted cash flow
  analyses, using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar
  terms to borrowers of similar credit quality. The carrying amount of accrued
  interest approximates its fair value.

  Off-balance-sheet instruments: Fair values for the Bank's off-balance-sheet
  lending commitments are based on fees currently charged to enter into similar
  agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the
  credit standing of the counterparties.

  Deposit liabilities: The fair values estimated for demand deposits (interest
  and non-interest checking, passbook savings, and certain types of money market
  accounts) are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the
  reporting date (i.e., their carrying amounts). The carrying amounts for
  variable-rate, fixed-term money market accounts and certificates of deposit
  approximate their fair values at the reporting date. Fair values for fixed-
  rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow
  calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on
  certificates to a schedule of the aggregate expected monthly maturities on
  time deposits. The carrying amount of accrued interest payable approximates
  its fair value.

  2. Cash and cash equivalents

  The Bank has defined cash and cash equivalents to include cash, due from banks
  and federal funds sold. Generally, federal funds are sold for one-day
  periods.

  3. Securities available-for-sale

  Available-for-sale securities consist of bonds, notes and debentures not
  classified as trading securities or held-to-maturity securities. Unrealized
  holding gains and losses, net of tax, are reported as a net amount in a
  separate component of shareholders' equity, accumulated other comprehensive
  income, until realized. Gains and losses on the sale of available-for-sale
  securities are determined using the specific identification method. The
  amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts are recognized as
  adjustments to interest income over the period to maturity. The Bank's
  portfolio consists only of securities available-for-sale as of December 31,
  1999 and 1998.

NOTE A - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED


  4. Sale of SBA loans

  The Bank originates loans to customers under the Small Business Administration
  ("SBA") program that generally provides for SBA guarantees of a portion of
  each loan. The Bank sells the guaranteed portion of certain loans to a third
  party and retains only the unguaranteed portion in its portfolio. Loans held
  for sale are recorded at the lower of cost or market.

  The Bank's investment in the SBA loan is allocated among the retained portion
  of the loan and the sold portion of the loan based on the relative fair market
  value of each portion. A gain is recognized on the sold portion based on its
  allocated fair value and the rate differential between the rate paid by the
  borrower to the Bank and the rate paid by the Bank to the purchaser by
  reducing the carrying value of the retained portion which increases the future
  yield. The Bank recognizes a servicing asset relating to the servicing of SBA
  loans sold which is amortized over the period of estimated net servicing
  income. The servicing asset was not material as of December 31, 1999 and 1998.

  5. Loans held for investment

  Loans held for investment are stated at the principal amount outstanding, net
  of the allowance for credit losses and net of deferred loan fees. Interest on
  loans is calculated by using the simple interest method on the daily balance
  of the principal amount outstanding. Loan fees and certain origination costs
  are deferred and amortized to interest income as yield adjustments over the
  contractual term of the related loans.

  Loans on which the accrual of interest has been discontinued are designated
  non-accrual loans. Accrual of interest on loans is discontinued either when
  reasonable doubt exists as to the full and timely collection of interest or
  principal or when a loan becomes contractually past due by ninety days or more
  with respect to interest or principal. When a loan is placed on non-accrual
  status, all interest previously accrued but not collected is reversed against
  current period interest income. Income on such loans is then recognized only
  to the extent that cash is received and where the future collection of
  principal is probable. Interest accruals are resumed on such loans only when
  they are brought fully current with respect to interest and principal and
  when, in the judgment of management, the loans are estimated to be fully
  collectible as to both principal and interest.

  6. Allowance for credit losses

  The allowance for credit losses is maintained at a level deemed appropriate by
  management to provide for known and inherent risks in the loan portfolio and
  commitments to extend credit. The allowance is based upon management's
  continuing assessment of various factors affecting the collectibility of loans
  and commitments to extend credit, including current and projected economic
  conditions, past credit experience, the value of the underlying collateral,
  and such other factors which in management's judgment deserve current
  recognition in estimating potential credit losses. Loans deemed uncollectible
  are charged off and deducted from the allowance. Subsequent recoveries are
  credited to the allowance.

  Impaired loans, as defined, are measured based on the present value of
  expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate
  or, the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. The
  Bank considers a loan impaired when it is probable that all amounts of
  principal and interest due, according to the contractual terms of the loan
  agreement, will not be collected, which is the same criteria used for the
  transfer of loans to non-accrual status. Interest income is recognized on
  impaired loans in the same manner as non-accrual loans.

  7. Premises and equipment

  Premises and equipment consist primarily of leasehold improvements, furniture
  and equipment and are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and
  amortization. Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over the
  shorter of the estimated useful lives of the related assets or the lease
  terms.

          Equipment                 3  -   5  years
          Furniture and fixtures    3  -   5  years
          Leasehold improvements    5  -  10  years
          Automobiles                      3  years

  Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the useful life of the
  asset or the term of the lease. The straight-line method of depreciation is
  followed for all assets for financial reporting purposes, but accelerated
  methods are used for tax purposes. Deferred income taxes have been provided
  for the resulting temporary differences.

NOTE A - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED

  8.  Income taxes

  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are reflected at currently enacted income
  tax rates applicable to the period in which the deferred tax assets or
  liabilities are expected to be realized or settled. As changes in tax laws or
  rates are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through
  the provision for income taxes.

  9.  Foreclosed real estate

  Real estate properties acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure are
  to be sold and are initially recorded at the lower of carrying amount or fair
  value at the date of foreclosure. After foreclosure, valuations are
  periodically performed by management. Any subsequent revisions in estimates of
  fair value less cost to sell are reported as adjustments to the carrying
  amount of the real estate provided that the adjusted carrying amount does not
  exceed the original carrying amount at the date of foreclosure. Revenue and
  expenses from operations and changes in the valuation allowance are included
  in other operating expenses.

  10. Stock based compensation

  Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, "Accounting for
  Stock Based Compensation," requires entities to disclose the fair value of
  their employee stock options, but permits entities to continue to account for
  employee stock options under Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No.
  25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." The Bank has determined that
  it will continue to use the method prescribed by APB Opinion No. 25, which
  recognizes compensation cost to the extent of the difference between the
  quoted market price of the stock at the date of grant and the amount an
  employee must pay to acquire the stock. The Bank grants stock options to
  employees with an exercise price equal to the quoted market price of the stock
  at the date of grant. Accordingly, no compensation cost is recognized for
  stock option grants. Disclosure requirements in accordance with SFAS No. 123
  are included at Note J.

  11. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133

  In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
  SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities."
  This Statement standardizes the accounting for derivative instruments,
  including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, by
  requiring that an entity recognize those items as assets or liabilities in the
  statement of financial position and measure them at fair value. In June 1999,
  the FASB issued SFAS No. 137, which defers the effective date of SFAS No. 133.
  The Bank will adopt SFAS No. 133 as of July 1, 2000 and has made no assessment
  of the potential impact of adopting SFAS No. 133 at this time.

  12. Reclassifications

  Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1998 financial statements to
  conform to the 1999 presentation.


NOTE B - CASH AND DUE FROM BANKS

  Cash and due from banks includes balances with the Federal Reserve and other
  correspondent banks. The Bank is required to maintain specified reserves by
  the Federal Reserve Bank. The average reserve requirements are based on a
  percentage of the Bank's deposit liabilities. In addition, the Federal Reserve
  requires the Bank to maintain a certain minimum balance at all times.

  Approximately 51% of the Bank's loans are for general commercial and SBA uses
  including professional, retail and small businesses.  The SBA loans consist of
  the unguaranteed portions that the Bank holds for investment.  Approximately
  14% of the Bank's loans are consumer loans and 35% are for real estate.
  Generally, real estate loans are collateralized by real property and other
  loans are collateralized by funds on deposit, business or personal assets.
  Repayment is generally expected from the cash flows of the borrower.


NOTE E - LOANS SOLD AND HELD FOR SALE

  The Bank originates SBA loans with the general intent of selling the
  guaranteed portion of such loans, usually at a price in excess of par, and
  retaining the remaining unguaranteed portion in its loans held for investment.
  When the Bank sells the guaranteed portion of such loans, it transfers the SBA
  guarantee to the buyer and retains the servicing function.  The

  portion of these loans sold is not reflected in the accompanying balance
  sheets.  Servicing SBA loans for other investors consists of collecting
  payments, disbursing payments to investors and foreclosure processing.  The
  Bank earns servicing income over the life of the loans as it services such
  loans on behalf of investors.  Loan servicing income is recorded on the
  accrual basis and includes servicing fees from investors and certain charges
  from borrowers, such as late payment fees.

  assets will be realized in the normal course of operations.  Accordingly,
  these assets have not been reduced by a valuation allowance.


NOTE J - EMPLOYEE STOCK OPTION PLAN

  On May 6, 1992, the shareholders approved the East County Bank 1992 Stock
  Option Plan (the "1992 Plan") under which options to purchase a maximum of
  120,000 shares of Common Stock may be granted to selected officers, directors
  and key full-time salaried employees of the Bank.  On September 3, 1998, the
  shareholders approved an increase in the number of shares available under the
  1992 Plan to 162,943 shares.  Under the 1992 Plan, options may, at the
  discretion of the Board of Directors, be granted either as Incentive Stock
  Options (as defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended) or as
  Nonstatutory Stock Options.  The options will have an exercise price of not
  less than the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date the option is
  granted and, unless otherwise provided by the Board of Directors, will vest
  over a four-year period, with 25% of the shares exercisable at the end of each
  year the grantee has completed as a director or employee of the Bank and have
  a term of ten years.

                    Years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998

NOTE J - EMPLOYEE STOCK OPTION PLAN - CONTINUED

  The fixed stock option plan is accounted for under APB Opinion No. 25 and
  related Interpretations.  Accordingly, no compensation cost has been
  recognized for the plan.  Had compensation cost for the plan been determined
  based on the fair value of the options at the grant dates consistent with the
  method of SFAS No. 123, the Bank's net earnings and earnings per share would
  have been reduced to the pro forma amounts indicated below.

</TABLE>

  The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using
  the Binomial options-pricing model with the following weighted-average
  assumptions used for grants in 1998:  expected volatility of 17.89 percent;
  risk-free interest rate of 5.78 percent; and expected lives of 8.0 years.  No
  options were granted in 1999.

  The total compensation expense associated with the options granted in 1998 is
  approximately $140,000.  At December 31, 1999 the amount remaining to be
  included in subsequent years proforma disclosures approximated $50,000.

NOTE K - EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN

  In 1989, the Bank adopted a 401(k) plan ("the Plan") which was available to
  all employees who had completed one year of service with the Bank except:  1)
  an employee who had not worked at least 1,000 hours during the year,  2) a
  leased employee,  3) an employee who has not attained age 21,  4) an employee
  covered by a collective bargaining agreement.  Eligible employees could
  contribute up to 15 percent of gross compensation to the Plan.  The Bank could
  elect to make a matching contribution equal to a percentage of the employee
  contribution, or a profit sharing contribution which would be allocated to
  each Plan participant based on compensation relative to other participants.

NOTE K - EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN - CONTINUED

  Effective July 1, 1998, the Plan was amended to allow eligible employees to
  participate in the Plan in the quarter following the start of employment.
  Employees who have completed one year of service with the Bank are eligible to
  participate in the employer contribution.  Other Plan provisions were
  unchanged.  Bank matching contributions to the Plan amounted to $25,760 and
  $20,615 for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.


NOTE L - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

  The Bank is a defendant in certain claims and legal actions arising in the
  ordinary course of business.  In the opinion of management, after consultation
  with legal counsel, the ultimate disposition of these matters is not expected
  to have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of the Bank.

  The Bank leases its premises under noncancelable operating leases with initial
  terms expiring in 2003.  Certain of these leases contain renewal options and
  escalation clauses that provide for increased rentals.  The future minimum
  lease commitments at December 31, 1999 under the noncancelable leases are as
  follows:

NOTE M - EARNINGS PER SHARE - CONTINUED

  Options to purchase 4,000 shares of common stock at $16.25 a share were
  granted during 1998.  They were not included in the computation of diluted EPS
  in 1999 nor in 1998 because the options' exercise price was greater than the
  average market price of the common shares.  The options, which expire on
  December 17, 2008, were still outstanding at December 31, 1999.


NOTE N- REGULATORY MATTERS

  The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by
  federal and state banking agencies.  Failure to meet minimum capital
  requirements can initiate certain mandatory--and possibly additional
  discretionary--actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct
  material effect on the Bank's financial statements.  Under capital adequacy
  guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank
  must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of
  the Bank's assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as
  calculated under regulatory accounting practices.  The Bank's capital amounts
  and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators
  about components, risk weightings, and other factors.

  Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy
  require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the
  table below) of total and Tier I capital (as defined in the regulations) to
  risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier I capital (as defined) to
  average assets (as defined).  Management believes, as of December 31, 1999
  that the Bank meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.

  As of December 31, 1999, the most recent notification from the Federal Reserve
  Bank categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework
  for prompt corrective action.  To be categorized as well capitalized the Bank
  must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier I risk-based, and Tier I leverage
  ratios as set forth in the following table.  There are no conditions or events
  since that notification that management believes have changed the Bank's
  category.

NOTE O - FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

  The Bank is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in
  the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers.
  These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit in the form
  of loans or through standby letters of credit.  These instruments involve, to
  varying degrees, elements of credit and interest-rate risk in excess of the
  amount recognized in the balance sheet.

* = more than or equal to

NOTE O - FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS - CONTINUED

  The Bank's exposure to credit loss is represented by the contractual amount of
  those instruments and is usually limited to amounts funded or drawn.  The
  contract or notional amounts of these agreements, which are not included in
  the balance sheets, are an indicator of the Bank's credit exposure.
  Commitments to extend credit generally carry variable interest rates and are
  subject to the same credit standards used in the lending process for on-
  balance-sheet instruments.  Additionally, the Bank periodically reassesses the
  customer's creditworthiness through ongoing credit reviews.  The Bank
  generally requires collateral or other security to support commitments to
  extend credit.

    Financial instruments whose contract
      amounts represent credit risk:
        Undisbursed loan commitments        $8,511,389
        Standby letters of credit              192,000
                                            ----------

                                            $8,703,389
                                            ==========

  Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as
  there is no violation of any condition established in the contract.
  Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses
  and may require payment of a fee.  Since many of the commitments are expected
  to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not
  necessarily represent future cash requirements.  The Bank evaluates each
  customer's creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis.  The amount of collateral
  obtained, if deemed necessary by the Bank upon extension of credit, is based
  on management's credit evaluation.  Collateral held varies but may include
  accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, and income-
  producing commercial and residential properties.

  Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to
  guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party.  The credit risk
  involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved
  in extending loan facilities to customers.

  The carrying amounts include $521,487 and $402,733 of non-accrual loans (loans
  that are not accruing interest) at December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
  Management has determined that primarily because of the uncertainty and the
  difficulty of predicting the timing of such cash flows excessive amounts of
  time and money would be incurred to estimate the fair values of nonperforming
  assets.  The following aggregate information is provided at December 31, about
  the contractual provisions of these assets:

NOTE P - RESTRICTIONS ON RETAINED EARNINGS

  Under current California state banking laws, the Bank may not pay cash
  dividends in an amount which exceeds the lesser of retained earnings of the
  Bank or the Bank's net earnings for its last three fiscal years, (less the
  amount of any distributions to shareholders made during that period).  If the
  above requirements are not met, cash dividends may only be paid with the prior
  approval of the Commissioner of the Department of Financial Institutions, in
  an amount not exceeding the Bank's net earnings for its last fiscal year or
  the amount of its net earnings for its current fiscal year.  Accordingly, the
  future payment of cash dividends will depend on the Bank's earnings and its
  ability to meet its capital requirements.


NOTE Q - ACQUISITION

  In October of 1999, the Bank entered into a definitive agreement with Civic
  Bancorp to merge East County Bank with Civic Bank of Commerce.  The merger
  agreement is subject to approval by the Federal Reserve, Department of
  Financial Institutions and the shareholders of East County Bank.  The Bank

            HISTORICAL AND PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

          The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet at
December 31, 1999, and pro forma condensed combined statement of income for the
year ended December 31, 1999 combine the historical balance sheets of Civic
BanCorp and Subsidiary and East County Bank as if the Merger had been effective
on December 31, 1999, and the income statements of Civic BanCorp and East County
Bank as if the Merger had been effective on the beginning of the period
presented. The pro forma information also gives effect to the cancellation of
587,765 shares of East County Bank common stock, no par value, outstanding at
February 29, 2000, with an aggregate value (Exchange Amount) equal to $23.98 per
share in exchange for cash consideration. The pro forma adjustments are based
upon available information and upon certain assumptions that management believes
are reasonable under the circumstances. The Merger is accounted for under the
purchase method of accounting, after giving effect to the pro forma adjustments
described in the accompanying notes. Under this method of accounting, the
purchase price has been allocated to the assets and liabilities of East County
Bank based on preliminary estimates of fair values as of the date of
acquisition. The actual fair values will be determined following consummation of
the Merger.

          These unaudited pro forma combined financial statements should be read
in conjunction with the historical consolidated financial statements and the
related notes thereto of Civic BanCorp and the historical financial statements
of East County Bank. The unaudited pro forma combined statements of income are
not necessarily indicative of financial condition or operating results which
would have been achieved had the Merger been consummated on the respective dates
indicated and should not be construed as representative of future operations.
