contained  thereon.  If no contrary  instructions are given, each proxy received
will be voted "for" the slate of director  nominees and "for" the appointment of
the auditors set forth on the proxy and described herein. Any shareholder giving
a proxy has the power to revoke  it at any time  before it is  exercised  by (i)
filing  written  notice  thereof with the  Secretary of CVB (Garland L. Blanton,

                    MANAGEMENT AND CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS

Election of Directors; The Nominees

         The Articles of Incorporation  and Bylaws of CVB provide that the Board
shall  fix the  number of  directors  of CVB and that  such  directors  shall be
divided into three classes as nearly equal in number as possible. Currently, the
number of  directors  is fixed at eight.  The  members  of each  class are to be
elected  for a term of three years and until  their  successors  are elected and
qualified. One class of directors is to be elected annually. The following table
sets forth the names of the  current  directors,  the class to which they belong
and the years in which their terms of office will expire:

            Class A                  Class C                 Class B
            2000(1)                    2001                    2002

                               James T. Napier          Fleming V. Austin
___________________
(1)  These two directors are the nominees for election at the Annual Meeting for
     a three-year  term expiring in 2003 and until their  successors are elected
     and qualified.


THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT THE NOMINEES BE ELECTED AS DIRECTORS.

The Board of Directors

         Unless  authority  is withheld in the proxy,  each proxy  executed  and
returned by a shareholder  will be voted for the election of the three  nominees
listed above.  Proxies distributed in conjunction  herewith may not be voted for
persons other than the nominees  named  thereon.  If any person named as nominee
should be unable or  unwilling  to stand for  election at the time of the Annual
Meeting,  the proxy holders will nominate and vote for a replacement  nominee or
nominees  recommended by the Board.  At this time, the Board knows no reason why
any of the  nominees  listed  above  would not be able to serve as a director if
elected. The proxy also confers  discretionary  authority upon the persons named
therein,  or their  substitutes,  with  respect  to any  other  matter  that may
properly come before the meeting.

         In the election of  directors,  those  nominees  receiving the greatest
number  of  votes  will be  elected  even if they  do not  receive  a  majority.
Abstentions  and broker  non-votes  will not be considered a vote for, or a vote
against, a nominee.

The Board of Directors and Its Committees

         Meetings of the Board of Directors  are held  regularly  each month and
there  is also  an  organizational  meeting  following  the  Annual  Meeting  of
Shareholders.  The Board held 13 meetings in the year ended  December  31, 1999.
For such year,  none of CVB's  eight  directors  attended  fewer than 75% of the
aggregate  number of Board  meetings  and  meetings of  committees  of which the
respective directors are members.

         The  Board of  Directors  has an  Audit  Committee  and a  Compensation
Committee.

         The Audit Committee  consists of Messrs.  Blanton,  Goodman and Napier.
The Audit Committee is responsible for the selection and  recommendation  of the
independent accounting firm for the annual audit and for the establishment,  and
the assurance of the adherence to, a system of internal controls. It reviews and
accepts the reports of CVB's  independent  auditors and federal  examiners.  The
Audit Committee met two times during the year ended December 31, 1999.

         The  Compensation  Committee  consists of Messrs.  Austin,  Binford and
Larus.  The  Compensation  Committee is responsible  for reviewing and approving
salary grade levels for the Bank as well as recommended  salary  increases.  The
Compensation Committee met once during the year ended December 31, 1999.

         The full Board of Directors acts as a nominating committee.

         Under CVB's  Bylaws,  notice of a proposed  nomination  complying  with
certain specified requirements must be received by CVB not less than 60 nor more
than 90 days prior to any  meeting of  shareholders  called for the  election of
directors,  provided  in each  case  that if fewer  than 70 days'  notice of the
meeting is given to  shareholders,  such  written  notice  shall be received not
later than the close of the tenth day  following  the day on which notice of the
meeting was mailed to shareholders.

         The Bylaws of CVB require that the shareholder's notice set forth as to
each nominee (i) the name, age,  business address and residence  address of such
nominee, (ii) the principal occupation or employment of such nominee,  (iii) the
class and number of shares of CVB that are  beneficially  owned by such  nominee
and (iv) any other  information  relating to such nominee that is required under
federal  securities  laws to be  disclosed in  solicitations  of proxies for the
election of directors or is otherwise required  (including,  without limitation,
such nominee's  written  consent to being named in a proxy  statement as nominee
and to serving as a director if elected). The Bylaws of CVB further require that
the shareholder's  notice set forth as to the shareholder  giving the notice (i)
the name and address of such  shareholder  and (ii) the class and amount of such
shareholder's  beneficial  ownership  of CVB Common  Stock.  If the  information
supplied  by the  shareholder  is  deficient  in any  material  aspect or if the
foregoing  procedure is not  followed,  the  chairman of the annual  meeting may
determine that such  shareholder's  nomination  should not be brought before the
annual  meeting and that such  nominee  shall not be eligible  for election as a
director of CVB.

Executive Officers Who Are Not Directors

(1)  The value of  in-the-money  options at fiscal  year end was  calculated  by
     determining  the difference the closing price of a share of Common Stock as
     reported on the Nasdaq Stock MarketSM on December 31, 1999 and the exercise
     price of the options.

Directors' Fees

         Directors,  including  directors who are officers of CVB, received fees
of $750 for each  meeting  of the  Board  attended  and $100 for each  committee
meeting attended during fiscal 1999.



                                       7

Certain Transactions

         Some of the directors and officers of CVB, and some of the corporations
and firms with which these individuals are associated, are also customers of the
Bank in the  ordinary  course  of  business,  or are  indebted  to the Bank with
respect to loans. It is also anticipated that some of the persons,  corporations
and firms will  continue  to be  customers  of, and  indebted  to, the Bank on a
similar basis in the future.  All loans  extended to such persons,  corporations
and firms were made in the  ordinary  course of  business,  did not involve more
than normal collection risk or present other unfavorable features, and were made
on  substantially  the same terms,  including  interest  rates and collateral as
those  prevailing  at the  same  time  for  comparable  Bank  transactions  with
unaffiliated  persons.  No such loan as of December  31, 1999 was  non-accruing,
past due or restructured.  At December 31, 1999, the aggregate  amounts of loans
outstanding  to all  directors  and  officers  of the Bank and  members of their
immediate families were approximately $2,355,505.00.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

         Section  16(a) of the  Securities  Exchange  Act of 1934  requires  the
Company's  directors and executive  officers,  and any persons who own more than
10% of the Common Stock of the Company, to file with the Securities and Exchange
Commission  reports of  ownership  and  changes in  ownership  of common  stock.
Officers and  directors  are required by SEC  regulation  to furnish the Company
with copies of all Section 16(a) forms that they file. Based solely on review of
the copies of such reports  furnished  to the Company or written  representation
that no other reports were required, the Company believes that, during 1999, all
filing requirements applicable to its officers and directors were complied with.


                                    AUDITORS

         The Board has appointed Mitchell,  Wiggins & Company,  LLP, independent
certified public accountants, to perform the audit of CVB's financial statements

Company,  LLP,  will  be  present  at the  Annual  Meeting,  will be  given  the
opportunity  to make a  statement,  if they so desire,  and will be available to
respond to appropriate questions from shareholders.

         CVB's Bylaws also prescribe the procedure a shareholder  must follow to
nominate Directors or to bring other business before shareholders' meetings. For
a shareholder  to nominate a candidate  for Director or to bring other  business
before a meeting,  notice must be received by the Secretary of CVB not less than
60 days and not more than 90 days prior to the date of the  meeting.  Based upon
an  anticipated  date  of  April  24,  2001  for  the  2001  Annual  Meeting  of
Shareholders,  CVB must receive such notice no later than  February 23, 2001 and
no earlier  than  January 24, 2001.  Notice of a  nomination  for Director  must
describe  various matters  regarding the nominee and the shareholder  giving the
notice. Notice of other business to be brought before the meeting must include a
description of the proposed  business,  the reasons therefor and other specified
matters. Any shareholder may obtain a copy of the CVB's Bylaws,  without charge,

PART OF THE PROXY SOLICITATION MATERIALS.


                                  OTHER MATTERS

         The Board of  Directors  of CVB is not aware of any other  matters that
