ITEM 1. SECURITY AND BANK

The class of security to which this statement relates is the Common Stock, no
par value per share (the "Shares"), of MCB Financial Corporation (the
"Company"). The address of the principal executive offices of the Company is
1248 Fifth Avenue, San Rafael, California 94901.

ITEM 2. IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND

       The persons filing this statement are Financial Institution Partners,
L.P. (the "Limited Partnership") and Hovde Capital, Inc., (the "General
Partner"), who are collectively referred to herein as the "Reporting Persons."
The Limited Partnership is a Delaware limited partnership formed for the purpose
of investing in, among other things, the equity securities of various financial
institutions. The General Partner, a Delaware corporation, is the general
partner of the Limited Partnership.

       Attached as Schedule 1 hereto and incorporated by reference herein is a
list containing the principal business and the address of its principal business
and office for the Limited Partnership and the General Partner, as well as
information required by (a) through (f) of this Item as to each executive
officer, director and/or controlling person of the General Partner. The General
Partner controls the Limited Partnership.

       None of the Reporting Persons or executive officers, directors or
controlling persons of the General Partner have, during the last five years,
been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar
misdemeanors) or been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or
administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding
was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future
violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or
state securities laws or finding of any violation with respect to such laws.

       The Reporting Persons do not believe that they constitute a "group"
within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
Nevertheless, the Reporting Persons are making this filing because of the
possibility that they may be deemed a group, although each of the Reporting
Persons disclaims any membership in, and the existence of, such a group. Neither
the making of this filing nor any statement contained herein shall be deemed to
be an admission by any of the Reporting Persons that a group exists.

Reporting Persons in acquiring beneficial ownership of their Shares is set forth
