NOTE #1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information.
Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required
by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.
In the opinion of Management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair
statement of the results for the interim period presented have been included and
are of a normal recurring nature. For further information, refer to the
financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1997. The results of
operations for the nine-month period ended September 30, 1998, are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
Effective for years beginning in 1996, the Company was required to implement
SFAS No. 123, "Stock Based Compensation," which changes the method of disclosing
the Company's stock-based compensation. The Company applies APB Opinion No. 25
and related interpretations in accounting for its plan and implemented SFAS No.
123 in its footnote disclosures.

Effective for years beginning after December 31, 1996, the Company was required
to implement SFAS No. 125, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial
Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities," as amended by SFAS No. 127,
"Deferral of the Effective Date of Certain Provisions of FASB Statement No.
125," establishing accounting and reporting standards for transfers and
servicing of financial assets and extinguishments of liabilities based on
consistent application of the financial-components approach. This approach
requires the recognition of financial assets when control is surrendered, and
the derecognition of liabilities when they are extinguished. Specific criteria
are established for determining when control has been surrendered in the
transfer of financial assets. Liabilities and derivatives incurred or obtained
by transferors in conjunction with the transfer of financial assets are required
to be measured at fair value, if practicable. Servicing assets and other
retained interests in transferred assets are required to be measured by
allocating the previous carrying amount between the assets sold, if any, and the
interest that is retained, if any, based on the relative fair values of the
assets on the date of the transfer. Servicing assets retained are subsequently
subject to amortization and assessment for impairment.

Effective for years beginning after December 31, 1997, the Company was required
to implement SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income." This statement
establishes standards of disclosure and financial statement display for
reporting comprehensive income and its components.

NOTE #3 - EARNINGS/(LOSS) PER COMMON EQUIVALENT SHARE

Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to
common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding
for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if
securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted
into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared
in the earnings of the entity.



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


GENERAL

         Vineyard National Bancorp (the "Company") is a one-bank holding
company. Its principal asset is the common stock of, and its principal
operations are conducted by, Vineyard National Bank, a National banking
association (the "Bank").

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)
                           SEPTEMBER 30, 1998 AND 1997


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         The Company incurred net income of $259,975 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1998, as compared to net income of $221,602 for the same period in
1997.

NET INTEREST INCOME

         The principal determinant of the Bank's net results of operations is
its net interest income. Net interest income is the difference or "margin"
between interest earned on interest-earning assets, such as loans and investment
securities, and interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities, principally
deposits. The Bank's net interest income increased $152,000 or 9.9% in the nine
month period ended September 30, 1998, as compared to the same period in 1997.
This increase was due primarily to a $55,000 increase in interest income and a
$97,000 decrease in interest expense. The net change was substantially a result
of the increases in interest on loans and federal funds sold and a decrease in
interest on time deposits.

         Outstanding loans and leases decreased during the nine month period
ended September 30, 1998, by $2,625,000 as a direct result of loans being paid
off. During this period total deposits increased by $1,914,000. The deposit mix
changed significantly as demand deposits increased by $652,000, money market
accounts increased $48,000, savings and NOW accounts decreased by $1,469,000,
time deposits in excess of $100,000 increased $1,739,000, and other time
deposits increased $945,000. The net interest margin (net interest income
expressed as a percentage of interest income) was 72 percent in 1998 as compared
to 68 percent in 1997.

PROVISION FOR PROBABLE LOAN LOSSES

         The Bank follows the practice of maintaining a reserve for potential
losses on loan and leases (the "Loan Loss Reserve" or the "Reserve") at an
amount which, in Management's judgment, is adequate to absorb potential losses
on total loans and leases outstanding. Losses on loans or leases are charged
against the reserve and the reserve is adjusted periodically to reflect changes
in the volume of outstanding loans and leases and increases in the risk of
potential losses due to a deterioration in the condition of borrowers, in the
value of collateral securing loans or in general economic conditions. Additions
to the reserve are made through a charge against income referred to as the
"Provision for Loan and Lease Losses".

                           SEPTEMBER 30, 1998 AND 1997


         During the nine month period ended September 30, 1998, a provision was
made of $143,000 as compared to $79,000 for the same period in 1997. The net
charge-offs on previously granted loans was approximately $178,000 for the nine
months ended September 30, 1998, as compared to net charge-offs of approximately
$177,000 for the same period in 1997.

         During the three month period ended September 30, 1998, a provision was
made of $19,000 as compared to $31,000 for the same period in 1997. The net
charge-offs on previously granted loans was approximately $21,000 for the three
months ended September 30, 1998, as compared to net charge-offs of $108,000 for
the same period in 1997.

OTHER INCOME

         The decrease of $121,000 or 9.8%,in other income in the nine month
period ended September 30, 1998, as compared to 1997, was due primarily to the
decrease in fees and service charges and miscellaneous other income. The
decrease of $43,000 or 10% in the three month period ended September 30, 1998,
as compared to 1997, was due primarily to the decrease in miscellaneous other
income.

OTHER EXPENSES

         Other expenses, consisting primarily of (i) salaries and other employee
expenses, (ii) occupancy expenses, (iii) furniture and equipment expenses, and
(iv) insurance, data processing, professional fees and other non-interest
expense, increased by approximately $189,000 or 3%, during the nine month period
ended September 30, 1998, as compared to the same period in 1997.

         The $52,000 or 3% increase in other expenses during the three month
period ended September 30, 1998, was affected by increases in furniture and
equipment expenses, and other expenses.


FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY

         During the nine months ended September 30, 1998, the Company's assets
decreased by approximately $2.3 million or 2%, compared to December 31, 1997.
The Company continued to have adequate cash resources with approximately
$4,960,000 of cash held on deposit at other financial institutions, $6,825,000
of investment securities, and $6,315,000 in Federal Funds Sold at September 30,
1998. The Bank's investment portfolio contains $79,000 of unrealized gains on
estimated fair values when compared to book values at September 30, 1998.
Investment securities totaling $2,500,000 matured during the nine month period
ended September 30, 1998. The total loans placed on non-accrual status (not
generating income currently) amounted to approximately $121,000 at September 30,
1998. All loans on non-accrual status are considered to be impaired.

                           SEPTEMBER 30, 1998 AND 1997


         Total shareholders' equity increased from approximately $8,267,000 at
December 31, 1997, to $8,570,000 at September 30, 1998, as a result of net
income generated for the nine months then ended and an increase in the valuation
allowance for investment securities.

         The Company's and the Bank's primary regulators, the Federal Reserve
Board, and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, respectively, adopted
risk-based capital guidelines which require bank holding companies and banks to
maintain minimum total capital of 8% (of which 4% must consist of Tier 1
capital) of risk-weighted assets, respectively. Further, the Federal Reserve
Board and Comptroller generally require bank and bank holding companies to have
a minimum leverage ratio of at least 4% to be considered "adequately
capitalized" for federal regulatory purposes. As of September 30, 1998, the
Company had a ratio of capital to risk-weighted assets of 9.57%, a ratio of Tier
1 capital to risk-weighted assets of 8.88%, and a leverage capital ratio of
7.47%. The Company's management believes that, under current regulations, the
Bank will continue to meet these minimum capital requirements in the foreseeable
future.

(1) Reflects loans for which there has been no payment of interest and/or
principal for 90 days or more. Ordinarily, loans are placed on non-accrual
status (accrual of interest is discounted) when the Bank has reason to believe
that continued payment of interest and principal is unlikely.

(2) Renegotiated loans are those which have been renegotiated to provide a
deferral of interest or principal. The Bank had no renegotiated loans during
1998 and 1997.

(3) There were two loans on non-accrual status totaling approximately $121,000
at September 30, 1998, and four loans totaling approximately $229,000 at
December 31, 1997.

         The policy of the Company is to review each loan in the loan portfolio
to identify problem credits. In addition, as an integral part of its review
process of the Bank, the Comptroller also classifies problem credits. There are
three classifications for problem loans: "substandard", "doubtful" and "loss".
Substandard loans have one or more defined weaknesses and are characterized by
the distinct possibility that the Bank will sustain some loss if the
deficiencies are not corrected. Doubtful loans have the weaknesses of
substandard loans with the additional characteristic that the weaknesses make
collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts,
conditions and values, questionable. A loan classified as loss is considered
uncollectible and of such little value that the continuance as an asset of the
institution is not warranted. Another category designated "special mention" is
maintained for loans which do not currently expose the Bank to a significant
degree or risk to warrant classification in a substandard, doubtful or loss but
do possess credit deficiencies or potential weaknesses deserving management's
close attention.

         As of September 30, 1998, the Bank's classified loans consisted of
approximately $1,864,000 of loans classified as substandard. The Bank's
$1,864,000 of loans classified as substandard consisted of approximately
$1,722,000 of performing loans and approximately $142,000 of non-accrual loans
and loans delinquent 90 days or more but still accruing.


RESERVE FOR PROBABLE LOAN AND LEASE LOSSES

         The reserve for probable loan and lease losses is a general reserve
established by Management to absorb potential losses inherent in the entire
portfolio. The level of and ratio of additions to the reserve are based on a
continuous analysis of the loan and lease portfolio and, at September 30, 1998,
reflected an amount which, in Management's judgment, was adequate to provide for
known and inherent loan losses. In evaluating the adequacy of the reserve,
Management gives consideration to the composition of the loan portfolio, the
performance of loans in the portfolio, evaluations of loan collateral, prior
loss experience, current economic conditions and the prospects or worth of
respective borrowers or guarantors. In addition, the Comptroller, as an integral
part of its examination process, periodically reviews the Bank's allowance for
possible loan and lease losses. The Comptroller may require the Bank to
recognize additions to the allowance based upon its judgment of the information
available to it at the time of its examination. The Bank was most recently
examined by the Comptroller as of September 30, 1997.

                           SEPTEMBER 30, 1998 AND 1997


         The reserve for probable loan and lease losses at September 30,1998,
was $660,000 or .76% of total loans and leases, as compared to $695,000 or .77%
of total credits at December 31, 1997. Additions to the reserve are effected
through the provision for loan and lease losses which is an operating expense of
the Company.

         In accordance with SFAS No. 114 (as amended by SFAS No. 118),
"Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan," loans identified as
"impaired" are measured on the present value of expected future cash flows
discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, except that as a practical
expedient, a creditor may measure impairment based on a loan's observable market
price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.
A loan is impaired when it is probable the creditor will not be able to collect
all contractual principal and interest payments due in accordance with the terms
of the loan agreement. Loan impairment is evaluated on a loan-by-loan basis as
part of normal loan review procedures of the Bank.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)
                           SEPTEMBER 30, 1998 AND 1997


YEAR 2000 DISCLOSURE

        The Company models their Y2K project from the Federal Financial
Institutions Examination council (FFIEC) Statement of May 5, 1997. This
Statement outlines five phases for institutions to effectively manage Year 2000
challenge. These phases are Awareness, Assessment, Renovation, Validation and
Implementation.

        The Company's Y2K committee has completed its Awareness phase and
Assessment phase and is in the process of ensuring that the Assessment and
Renovation steps are valid and complete. New Y2K compliant Automated Teller
Machines (ATMs) and software have been installed in all of our branches. The
Company's third party servicing was tested in October 1998. As deficiencies are
discovered, the affected systems will be repaired and tested. All of our systems
should be Year 2000 compliant and back into production by December 31, 1998.

        Customer relationships represent significant potential risks for banks.
A key activity recently completed is the review of due diligence surveys mailed
to key depositors and borrowers of the Company. Ninety-eight percent of the
Company's depositors who responded to the survey are aware of the Year 2000
problem. Seventy percent felt they would make changes with their finances if it
becomes apparent in mid-1999 that companies will not solve this problem by
January 1, 2000. The Company will continue to keep customers aware of its Year
2000 status so as to not be at risk of losing customers due to uncertainty and
concern over their account.

        Commercial and real estate loan clients meeting a predetermined criteria
were asked to complete a Year 2000 assessment worksheet. Those existing
borrowers were assigned an initial assessment based on their responses. As of
July 1, 1998, all new and renewed credits, regardless of size, require a Year
2000 Worksheet to be completed by the borrower.

        At this time, the Company does not see any issues which would cause a
risk to the company or its customers , and based on internal and third party
assessments, believes compliance will be achieved by year-end 1998.
