                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (Unaudited)



NOTE 1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

          The consolidated financial information included herein is unaudited;
          however, such information reflects all adjustments (consisting solely
          of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of
          management, necessary for a fair statement of results for interim
          periods.

          The results of operations for the three and six month periods ended
          June 30, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be
          expected for the full year.

NOTE 2.   CURRENT ACCOUNTING DEVELOPMENTS

          The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued SFAS No.128,
          "Earnings Per Share". SFAS No.128 establishes standards for computing
          and presenting earnings per share (EPS) and applies to entities with
          publicly held common stock or potential common stock.  This Statement
          simplifies the standards for computing earnings per share previously
          found in APB Opinion No.15, Earnings per Share, and makes them
          comparable to international EPS standards. It replaces the
          presentation of primary EPS with a presentation of basic EPS. It also
          requires dual presentation of basic and diluted EPS on the face of the
          income statement for all entities with complex capital structures and
          requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the
          basic EPS computation to the numerator and denominator of the diluted
          EPS computation. The effective date of this statement is for financial
          statements issued for periods ending after December 15, 1997. The
          adoption of this Statement is not expected to have a material effect
          on earnings per share.

NOTE 3    DECLARATION OF STOCK DIVIDEND

          The Board of Directors declared a 2% stock dividend on February 18,
          1997 for shareholders of record as of March 1, 1997 to be paid on May
          1, 1997. Common stock outstanding on the balance sheet to reflect this
          declaration and earnings and dividends per share have been
          retroactively restated.

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

Introduction
- - ------------

The following is a discussion of the Company's financial condition at June 30,
1997 compared to December 31, 1996 and the results of its operations for the
three and six months ended June 30, 1997 compared to the three and six month
periods ended June 30, 1996.  These comments should be read in conjunction with
the financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this report.

</TABLE>

Changes in total assets and the major categories of assets are shown in the
table above.  The increase in loans is due to a continuing increase in loan
demand throughout the year, and principally in residential construction and
development loans.  The increase in the securities portfolio is due to the
purchase of U. S. Government, Government Agency, and School, County and
Municipal Securities.  The decrease in interest-bearing bank balances is also
directly related to the utilization of funds to finance the growing loan
portfolio.

The majority of the loans originated in the three and six month periods ending
June 30, 1997 are primarily short-term maturities of six months to one year or
contain variable interest rates with terms from 1 to 3 years or less.  The
following table presents scheduled repricing of the Company's loans at June 30,
1997.

</TABLE>

The $5,326,822 increase in deposits included a $686,209 increase in certificates
of deposit over $100,000.  The deposit growth has resulted from continuing
growth in the Bartow County and Cartersville areas accompanied by the location
of new retail and other businesses to the area.  Competitive rates are paid on
deposits but not above the local market.

The decrease in other borrowings was due entirely to pay down of advances from
The Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta.  The increase in deposits, primarily
certificates of deposit less than $100,000, was used to fund the continued
strong loan demand.

The Company's ratio of loans to deposits at June 30, 1997 was 85.74% as compared
to 83.27% at December 31, 1996 and the increase is primarily due to a strong
increase during 1997 in residential development and construction loan demand.

Liquidity and Interest Rate Sensitivity
- - ---------------------------------------

Liquidity, as defined by net cash, short-term investments and other marketable
investments as a percent of deposits, was 22.69% at June 30, 1997, and is
considered adequate.  The Company has an $8,500,000 line of credit with the
Federal Home Loan Bank of which $3,820,050 has been advanced, a $3,750,000
unsecured line of credit with correspondent banks and a security repurchase
agreement available with a correspondent bank.  This repurchase agreement line
must be collateralized at 110% with available, unpledged investment securities.
At June 30, there was approximately $9,697,210 available using this repurchase
agreement.  These lines are available should liquidity needs increase.

</TABLE>

The current interest sensitivity position indicates a close match of interest-
sensitive assets and interest-sensitive liabilities, particularly in the one
year time horizon.  Increases or decreases in interest rates should have little
effect on the Company's net interest margin.

Capital Resources
- - -----------------

The minimum capital requirements for banks and bank holding companies require a
leverage capital to total assets ratio of at least 3%, core capital to total
assets ratio of at least 4% and total risk-based capital to total adjusted
assets ratio of 8%.

Selected financial information relating to the Company's minimum capital
requirements at June 30, 1997 is as follows:

</TABLE>

The increase in total interest income was due to the increased volume of
interest-earning assets, principally loans.  Total interest expense for the same
period increased as indicated in the above table primarily due to the increase
in deposits and borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank.  The resulting
increase in net interest margin is due primarily to the stated growth in loan
portfolio and an increase in the spread between yields on earning assets and the
cost of interest-bearing liabilities.

The provision for loan losses is the charge to operating earnings that
management feels is necessary to maintain an adequate allowance for loan losses.
It is based on the growth of the loan portfolio, the amount of net loan losses
incurred and management's estimate of potential future loan losses based on an
evaluation of loan portfolio risks and certain economic factors.  The provision
for loan losses increased by $20,893 for the three month period ended June 30,
1997 as compared to the same period in 1996 due to the growth in the loan
portfolio.  The loan loss reserve as a percentage of total loans was 1.70% and
1.63% at June 30, 1997 and June 30, 1996, respectively.  There were no non
performing loans as June 30, 1997 and management believes that the allowance for
loan losses is adequate to absorb anticipated loan losses.

The $245 or 0.16% decrease in other operating income is considered an
insignificant decline.

The increase of other operating expenses for the three month period ending June
30, 1997 as compared to the comparable period in 1996 as shown in the preceding
table resulted primarily from the increase in personnel and other expenses
necessary to service an increasing deposit and 

                                      11
<PAGE>
 
loan customer base including additional staffing in the mortgage origination and
accounts receivable factoring and servicing areas.

The $9,229 loss on sale of available for sale (AFS) securities resulted from a
management strategy to sell lower yielding taxable securities maturing prior to
1999, and reinvest the proceeds into nontaxable and taxable securities with tax
equivalent yields of 7.0% or greater.  It is estimated that the loss will be
negated in less than 6 months.

The increase in income taxes shown in the preceding table resulted primarily
from increased net income before taxes for the three month period ended June 30,
1997 as compared to the similar period in 1996.  The effective tax rate was
35.99% and 35.89%, respectively, for the three month periods ended June 30, 1997
and 1996.

Net income for the three month period ended June 30, 1997 as compared to the
same period in 1996 increased $56,847 or 20.18%.

</TABLE>

The increase in total interest income was due to the increased volume of
interest-earning assets, principally loans.  Total interest expense for the same
period increased as indicated in the above table primarily due to the increase
in deposits and borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank.  The resulting
increase in net interest margin is due primarily to the stated growth in loan
portfolio and an increase in the spread between yields on earning assets and the
cost of interest-bearing liabilities.

The provision for loan losses increased by $41,893 or 38.79% for the six month
period ended June 30, 1997 as compared to the same period in 1996 due to the
growth in the loan portfolio.

The $63,517 or 20.45% increase in other operating income is the net result of a
general increase service charge income on deposit accounts and a $38,822 gain on
the sale of loans.

The increase of other operating expenses for the six month period ending June
30, 1997 as compared to the comparable period in 1996 as shown in the preceding
table resulted primarily from the increase in personnel and other expenses
necessary to service an increasing deposit and loan customer base including
additional staffing in the mortgage origination and accounts receivable
factoring and servicing areas.

The increase in income taxes shown in the preceding table resulted primarily
from increased net income before taxes for the six month period ended June 30,
1997 as compared to the similar

period in 1996. The effective tax rate was 36.20% and 36.11%, respectively, for
the six month periods ended June 30, 1997 and 1996.

Net income for the six month period ended June 30, 1997 as compared to the same
period in 1996 increased $130,239 or 25.15%.  The primary reasons are increased
interest margins, increased loan to deposit ratio, gain on sale of loans,
increased service charges on deposit accounts and the lower effective tax rate.

Proposal II
- - -----------

The shareholders also approved a proposal to adopt the 1997 First Community
Bancorp, Inc. Stock Option Plan with 204,437 votes in favor and 4,445 against.
The 1997 First Community Bancorp, Inc. Stock Option Plan authorizes the granting
of up to 70,000 shares of common stock of the company through incentive stock
options and non-qualified stock options to one or more directors and full time,
salaried officers and other key employees of the company as the Board may from
time to time in its discretion determine. The 1997 Plan defines incentive stock
options as "an option that is an incentive stock option within the meaning of
Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code."  A "non-qualified stock option" is
defined by the 1997 Plan as an option that is not an incentive stock option.
Directors are only eligible to receive non-qualified stock options under the
terms of the 1997 Plan. The Board of Directors would administer the 1997 Plan,
determine which employees and directors would receive options, and subject to
the terms of the 1997 Plan determine the form and terms of the stock option
