2.  EARNINGS PER SHARE - Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net
income by the number of weighted average common shares outstanding.  Diluted
earnings per share reflects potential dilution from outstanding stock options,
using the treasury stock method.  The number of weighted average shares used in
computing basic and diluted earnings per share are as follows:

3.  RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS - Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) No. 133,"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities," was issued June 1998 and amended by SFAS No. 138, issued in June
2000.  The standard defines derivatives, requires that all derivatives be
carried at fair value, and provides for hedge accounting when certain conditions
are met.  The requirements of SFAS No. 133 as amended by SFAS No. 138 will be
effective for the Company in the first quarter of the fiscal year beginning
January 1, 2001.  Management does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 133 as
amended by SFAS No. 138 to have a significant impact on the Company's financial
statements.

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

    MCB Financial Corporation (the "Company") is the holding company for Metro
Commerce Bank in San Rafael, California.  This discussion focuses primarily on
the results of operations of the Company on a consolidated basis for the three
and six months ended June 30, 2000 and the financial condition of the Company as
of that date.

    The following discussion presents information pertaining to the financial
condition and results of operations of the Company and its subsidiary and should
be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto presented
in this 10-QSB.   Average balances, including balances used in calculating
certain financial ratios, are generally comprised of average daily balances.

    Certain matters discussed in this report are forward-looking statements that
are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ
materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements.  Such risks
and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the competitive environment
and its impact on the Company's net interest margin, changes in interest rates,
asset quality risks, concentrations of credit and the economic health of the San
Francisco Bay Area and Southern California, volatility of rate sensitive
deposits, asset/liability matching risks, the dilutive impact which might occur
upon the issuance of new shares of common stock and liquidity risks.  Therefore,
the matters set forth below should be carefully considered when evaluating the
Company's business and prospects.  For additional information concerning these
risks and uncertainties, please refer to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-
KSB for the year ended December 31, 1999.

OVERVIEW

    EARNINGS SUMMARY.  The Company reported net income of $761,000, or $0.37 per
share basic and $0.36 per share diluted, for the second quarter of 2000.  This
compares to net income of $615,000, or $0.30 per share basic and $0.29 per share
diluted, for the same period in 1999.

    For the six months ended June 30, 2000, the Company reported net income of
$1,414,000, or $0.69 per share basic and $0.66 per share diluted.  This compares
to net income of $1,076,000, or $0.52 per share basic and $0.49 per share
diluted for the same period in 1999.  For the six months ended June 30, 2000,
growth in average loans as a percentage of earning assets contributed to a 22%
increase in interest income and an increase in the net interest margin to 6.50%.
The growth in average loans was largely due to the continuation of favorable
economic conditions in the Company's market areas.

    Return on average assets and return on average equity for the second quarter
of 2000 were 1.52% and 20.16%, respectively, as compared to 1.45% and 18.51%,
respectively, for the same period of 1999.  Return on average assets and return
on average equity for the six months ended June 30, 2000 were 1.42% and 19.00%,
respectively, as compared to 1.28% and 16.26%, respectively, for the same period
of 1999.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

    SUMMARY.  Total assets of the Company increased by $6.4 million, or 3.3%,
from the end of 1999 to reach $202.5 million at June 30, 2000.

    LOANS HELD FOR INVESTMENT.  Net loans held for investment increased by $9.4
million, or 6.9%, during the first six months of 2000 as demand for commercial
real estate loans increased.  The following table sets forth the amount of total
loans outstanding by category as of the dates indicated (dollar amounts in
thousands):

    In the normal practice of extending credit, the Company accepts real estate
collateral for loans which have primary sources of repayment from commercial
operations.  The total amount of loans secured by real estate equaled $122.9
million, or 83.2% of the total portfolio as of June 30, 2000.  Due to the
Company's limited marketing areas, its real estate collateral is primarily
concentrated in the San Francisco Bay Area and Southern California.  The Company
believes that its underwriting standards for real estate secured loans are
prudent and provide an adequate safeguard against declining real estate prices
which may effect a borrower's ability to liquidate the property and repay the
loan.  However, no assurance can be given that real estate values will not
decline and impair the value of the security for loans held by the Company.

    The Company focuses its portfolio lending on commercial, commercial real
estate, and construction loans.  These loans generally carry a higher level of
risk than conventional real estate loans; accordingly, yields on these loans are
typically higher than those of other loans.  The performance of commercial and
construction loans is generally dependent upon future cash flows from business
operations (including the sale of products, merchandise and services) and the
successful completion or operation of large real estate projects.  Risks
attributable to such loans can be significantly increased, often to a greater
extent than other loans, by regional economic factors, real estate prices, the
demand for commercial and retail office space, and the demand for products and
services of industries which are concentrated within the Company's loan
portfolio.  As of June 30, 2000 the two largest industry concentrations within
the loan portfolio were real estate and related services at 31.9% and the
services - personal/business industry at 20.9% of the portfolio.  Because credit
concentrations increase portfolio risk, the Company places significant emphasis
on the purpose of each loan and the related sources of repayment.  The Company
generally limits unsecured commercial loans to maturities of three years and
secured commercial loans to maturities of five years.

    NONPERFORMING ASSETS.   The Company carefully monitors the quality of its
loan portfolio and the factors that affect it, including regional economic
conditions, employment stability, and real estate values.  The accrual of
interest on loans is discontinued when the payment of principal or interest is
considered to be in doubt, or when a loan becomes contractually past due by 90
days or more with respect to principal or interest, except for loans that are
well secured and in the process of collection.

    As of June 30, 2000, the Company had nonperforming assets in the amount of
$166,000, of which $126,000 represented two nonaccrual loans.  Had these
nonaccrual loans performed under their contractual terms, approximately $5,000
in additional interest income would have been recognized during the six months
ended June 30, 2000.  At June 30, 2000, the Company had one loan 90 days or more
past due and still accruing in the aggregate amount of $40,000.  This loan is
well secured and in the process of collection.  The following table sets forth
the balance of nonperforming assets as of the dates indicated (dollar amounts in
thousands):

Nonperforming Assets                       December 31,       June 30,
                                                  1999           2000

Nonaccrual loans                              $  1,707       $    126

  still accruing                                    40             40
                                              $  1,747       $    166

As a percent of total loans                       1.27%          0.11%
As a percent of total assets                      0.89%          0.08%

    Nonaccrual loans decreased by $1.6 million during the six months ended June
30, 2000.  The decrease was due to the sale of a property securing one of the
loans.  No specific allowance for possible credit losses was applied to the
nonaccrual loans because they were adequately collateralized.

    At June 30, 2000, the Company had loans identified as impaired in the amount
of $166,000.  At June 30, 2000, no specific allowance for possible credit losses
was required for these impaired loans because they were adequately
collateralized.

    ALLOWANCE FOR POSSIBLE CREDIT LOSSES.  The Company maintains an allowance
for possible credit losses ("APCL") which is reduced by credit losses and
increased by credit recoveries and by the provision to the APCL which is charged
against operations.  Provisions to the APCL and the total of the APCL are based,
among other factors, upon the Company's credit loss experience, current economic
conditions, the performance of loans within the portfolio, evaluation of loan
collateral value, and the prospects or worth of respective borrowers and
guarantors.

    In determining the adequacy of its APCL and after carefully analyzing each
loan individually, the Company segments its loan portfolio into pools of
homogeneous loans that share similar risk factors.  Each pool is given a risk
assessment factor which largely reflects the expected future losses from each
category.  These risk assessment factors change as economic conditions shift and
actual loan losses are recorded.  As of June 30, 2000, the APCL of $1,742,000,
or 1.18% of total loans, was determined by management to be adequate against
foreseeable future losses.  No assurance can be given that nonperforming loans
will not increase or that future losses will not exceed the amount of the APCL.

    The following table summarizes, for the periods indicated, loan balances at
the end of each period and average balances during the period, changes in the
APCL arising from credit losses, recoveries of credit losses previously
incurred, additions to the APCL charged to operating expense, and certain ratios
relating to the APCL (dollar amounts in thousands):

    The Company provided $100,000 to the allowance for possible credit losses
during the second quarter of 2000 as compared to $35,000 during the second
quarter of 1999.  For the six months ended June 30, 2000, the Company provided
$220,000 to the allowance for possible credit losses as compared to $125,000
during the same period of 1999.  The provisions during both periods were
recorded as a prudent measure, based upon growth in the loan portfolio.

    The following table sets forth the allocation of the APCL as of the dates

    The APCL is available to absorb losses from all loans, although allocations
have been made for certain loans and loan categories.  The allocation of the
APCL as shown above should not be interpreted as an indication that charge-offs
in future periods will occur in these amounts or proportions, or that the
allocation indicates future charge-off trends.  In addition to the most recent
analysis of individual loans and pools of loans, management's methodology also
places emphasis on historical loss data, delinquency and nonaccrual trends by
loan classification category and expected loan maturity.  This analysis,
management believes, identifies potential losses within the loan portfolio and
therefore results in allocation of a large portion of the allowance to specific
loan categories.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

    NET INTEREST INCOME / NET INTEREST MARGIN.  Net interest income for the
quarter ended June 30, 2000 was $3,103,000, an increase of 20.1% over the net
interest income of $2,584,000 during the same period of 1999.  Net interest
income for the six months ended June 30, 2000 was $6,037,000, and increase of
21.2% over the net interest income of $4,980,000 during the same period of 1999.
The increase was primarily due to the growth in average loans, largely due to
the continuation of favorable economic conditions in the Company's market areas.

    The following table sets forth average assets, liabilities, and
shareholders' equity; the amount of interest income or interest expense; and the
average yield or rate for each category of interest-bearing assets and interest-
bearing liabilities and the net interest margin (net interest income divided by
average earning assets) for the periods indicated (dollar amounts in thousands):

(1) Nonaccrual loans are included in the average balance.

    The net interest margin increased to 6.62% during the second quarter of 2000
from 6.52% in the same quarter of 1999.  For the six months ended June 30, 2000,
the net interest margin increased to 6.50% from 6.35% during the same period of
1999.  The increase was primarily attributable to growth in average earnings
assets exceeding growth in average interest-bearing liabilities.

    The following table presents the dollar amount of changes in interest earned
and interest paid for each major category of interest-earning asset and
interest-bearing liability and the amount of change attributable to average
balances (volume) fluctuations and average rate fluctuations for the periods
indicated.  The variance attributable to both balance and rate fluctuations is
allocated to a combined rate/volume variance (dollar amounts in thousands):

Company include payments of principal and interest on loans and investments,
proceeds from the sale or maturity of loans and investments, growth in deposits,
and other borrowings.  The Company holds overnight federal funds as a cushion
for temporary liquidity needs.  During the six months ended June 30, 2000,
federal funds sold averaged $10.6 million, or 5.3% of total assets.  In addition
to its federal funds, the Company maintains various lines of credit with
correspondent banks, the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, and the Federal
Home Loan Bank of San Francisco.

    At June 30, 2000, the Company had cash, time deposits with banks, federal
funds sold, and unpledged investment securities of approximately $40.1 million,
or 19.8% of total assets.  This represented all available liquid assets,
excluding other assets.

    Several methods are used to measure liquidity.  One method is to measure the
balance between loans and deposits (gross loans divided by total deposits).  In
general, the closer this ratio is to 100%, the more reliant an institution
becomes on its illiquid loan portfolio and its securities portfolio to absorb
temporary fluctuations in deposit levels.  At June 30, 2000, the loan-to-deposit
ratio was 79.9% as compared to 76.7% at December 31, 1999.

    Another frequently used method is the relationship between short-term liquid
assets (federal funds sold and investments maturing within one year) and short-
term liabilities (total deposits and other borrowings), or the liquidity ratio.
The Company targets a minimum ratio of 5%.  At June 30, 2000, this ratio was
7.6% as compared to 15.2% at December 31, 1999.

    As of June 30, 2000, the Company had no material commitments that were
expected to adversely impact liquidity.

    Net interest income and the net interest margin are largely dependent on the
Company's ability to closely match interest-earning assets with interest-bearing
liabilities.  As interest rates change, the Company must constantly balance
maturing and repricing liabilities with maturing and repricing assets.  This
process is called asset/liability management and is commonly measured by the
maturity/repricing gap.  The maturity/repricing gap is the dollar difference
between maturing or repricing assets and maturing or repricing liabilities at
different intervals of time.

    The following table sets forth rate sensitive interest-earning assets and
interest-bearing liabilities as of June 30, 2000, the interest rate sensitivity
gap (i.e. interest sensitive assets minus interest sensitive liabilities), the
cumulative interest rate sensitivity gap, the interest rate sensitivity gap
ratio, and the cumulative interest rate sensitivity gap ratio.  For the purposes
of the following table, an asset or liability is considered rate sensitive
within a specified period when it matures or can be repriced within that period
pursuant to its original contractual terms (dollar amounts in thousands):

    The Company classifies its interest-bearing transaction accounts and savings
accounts into the over 180 days to 365 days time period as well as the after one
year to five years time period.  This is done to adjust for the insensitivity of
these accounts to changes in interest rates.  Although rates on these accounts
can contractually be reset at the Company's discretion, historically these
accounts have not demonstrated strong correlation to changes in the prime rate.
Generally, a positive gap at one year indicates that net interest income and the
net interest margin will increase if interest rates rise in the future.  A
negative gap at one year indicates that net interest income and the net interest
margin will decrease if interest rates rise in the future.  The Company neither
currently utilizes financial derivatives to hedge its asset/liability position
nor has any plans to employ such strategies in the near future.

    In July 2000, the Company executed a letter of intent to issue approximately
$3 million in trust preferred securites through a wholly owned trust subsidiary
of the Company to be formed for the purpose of the offering.  The securities
issued in the offering are to be sold in a private transaction pursuant to an
applicable exemption from registration under the Securities Act.  Under
applicable regulatory guidelines, the trust preferred securities are expected to
qualifiy as Tier 1 capital.  The trust preferred securities will bear a fixed
rate of interest payable semi-annually.  The interest rate will be determined
during the closing of the transaction which is expected be in September 2000.
Proceeds from the sale are expected to be used for general corporate purposes.

    Regulatory authorities have issued guidelines to implement risk-based
capital requirements.  The guidelines establish a systematic analytical
framework that makes regulatory capital requirements more sensitive to
differences in risk profiles among banking organizations.  Total capital is
classified into two components:  Tier 1 (primarily shareholder's equity) and
Tier 2 (supplementary capital including allowance for possible credit losses,
certain preferred stock, eligible subordinated debt, and other qualifying
instruments).  The guidelines require that total capital be 8% of risk-based
assets, of which at least 4% must be Tier 1 capital.  As of June 30, 2000, the
Company's total capital was 10.96% and its Tier 1 capital ratio was 9.86%.  In
addition, the Company, under the guidelines established for adequately
capitalized institutions, must also maintain a minimum leverage ratio (Tier 1
capital divided by total assets) of 4%.  As of June 30, 2000, the Company's
leverage ratio was 7.69%.  It is the Company's intention to maintain risk-based
capital ratios at levels characterized as "well-capitalized" for banking
organizations:  Tier 1 risk-based capital of 6 percent or above and total risk-
based capital at 10 percent or above.
