CENTRAL COAST BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 1997 (Unaudited)
1. CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In the opinion of Management, the unaudited consolidated condensed financial
statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring
adjustments) necessary to present fairly the Company's consolidated financial
position at March 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996, and the results of operations
and cash flows for the three month periods ended March 31, 1997 and 1996.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally presented in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
have been omitted. These interim consolidated condensed financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and
notes thereto included in the Company's 1996 Annual Report to Shareholders. The
results of operations for the three month period ended March 31, 1997 may not
necessarily be indicative of the operating results for the full year.
2. INVESTMENT SECURITIES
The Company is required under Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)
Statement No. 115, "Accounting for Investments in Certain Debt and Equity
Securities", to classify debt and equity securities into one of three
categories: held-to-maturity, trading or available-for-sale. Investment
securities classified as held-to-maturity are measured at amortized cost based
on the Company's positive intent and ability to hold such securities to
maturity. Trading securities are bought and held principally for the purpose of
selling them in the near term and are carried at market value with a
corresponding recognition of unrecognized holding gain or loss in the results of
operations. The remaining investment securities are classified as
available-for-sale and are measured at market value with a corresponding
recognition of the unrealized holding gain or loss (net of tax effect) as a
separate component of shareholders' equity until realized. Any gains and losses
on sales of investments are computed on a specific identification basis.

3. LOANS AND ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES
The activity in the allowance for credit losses is summarized as follows:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Three months ended March 31,
In thousands 1997 1996
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
<S> <C> <C>

Loans charged off (88) (88)
Recoveries 29 16
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ending balance $ 4,313 $ 4,394
===========================================================================
</TABLE>
The allowance for credit losses reflects management's judgement as to the level
which is considered adequate to absorb potential losses inherent in the loan
portfolio. This allowance is increased by provisions charged to expense and
reduced by loan charge-offs net of recoveries. Management determines an
appropriate provision based upon information currently available to analyze
credit loss potential, including (1) the loan portfolio balance in the period;
(2) a comprehensive grading and review of new and existing loans outstanding;
(3) actual previous charge-offs; and, (4) changes in economic conditions.
In determining the provision for estimated losses related to specific major
loans, management evaluates its allowance on an individual loan basis, including
an analysis of the credit worthiness, cash flows and financial status of the
borrower, and the condition and the estimated value of the collateral. Specific
valuation allowance for secured loans are determined by the excess of recorded
investment in the loan over the fair market value or net realizable value where
appropriate, of the collateral. In determining overall general valuation
allowances to be maintained and the loan loss allowance ratio, management
evaluates many factors including prevailing and forecasted economic conditions,
regular reviews of the quality of loans, industry experience, historical loss
experience, composition and geographic concentrations of the loan portfolio, the
borrowers' ability to repay and repayment performance and estimated collateral
values.
Management believes that the allowance for credit losses at March 31, 1997 is
prudent and warranted, based on information currently available. However, no
prediction of the ultimate level of loans charged off in future years can be
made with any certainty.
Nonperforming assets are comprised of loans delinquent 90 days or more with
respect to interest or principal, loans for which the accrual of interest has
been discontinued, and other real estate which has been acquired through
foreclosure and is awaiting disposition.
Unless well secured and in the process of collection, loans are placed on
nonaccrual status when a loan becomes 90 days past due as to interest or
principal, when the payment of interest or principal in accordance with the
contractual terms of the loan becomes uncertain or when a portion of the
principal balance has been charged off. When a loan is placed on
7
<PAGE> 8
nonaccrual status, the accrued and unpaid interest receivable is reversed and
the loan is accounted for on the cash or cost recovery method thereafter, until
qualifying for return to accrual status. Generally, a loan may be returned to
accrual status when all delinquent interest and principal become current in
accordance with the terms of the loan agreement and remaining principal is
considered collectible or when the loan is both well secured and in process of
collection.
Real estate and other assets acquired in satisfaction of indebtedness are
recorded at the lower of estimated fair market value net of anticipated selling
costs or the recorded loan amount, and any difference between this and the
amount is treated as a loan loss. Costs of maintaining other real estate owned
and gains or losses on the subsequent sale are reflected in current earnings.
Nonperforming loans and other real estate owned (foreclosed properties) are
summarized below:

4. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
In the normal course of business there are outstanding various commitments to
extend credit which are not reflected in the financial statements, including
loan commitments of approximately $84,884,000 and standby letters of credit of
$1,458,000 at March 31, 1997. However, all such commitments will not necessarily
culminate in actual extensions of credit by the Company during 1997.
Approximately $14,013,000 of loan commitments outstanding at March 31, 1997
relate to real estate construction loans and are expected to fund within the
next twelve months. The remainder relate primarily to revolving lines of credit
or other commercial loans, and many of these commitments are expected to expire
without being drawn upon. Therefore, the total commitments do not necessarily
represent future cash requirements. The Bank evaluates each potential borrower
and the necessary collateral on an individual basis. Collateral varies, but may
include real property, bank deposits, debt or equity securities or business
assets.
8
<PAGE> 9
Stand-by letters of credit are commitments written by the Bank to guarantee the
performance of a customer to a third party. These guarantees are issued
primarily relating to purchases of inventory by the Bank's commercial customers
and are typically short-term in nature. Credit risk is similar to that involved
in extending loan commitments to customers and the Bank accordingly uses
evaluation and collateral requirements similar to those for loan commitments.
Virtually all such commitments are collateralized.
5. NET INCOME PER SHARE COMPUTATION
Net income per common and equivalent share is calculated using weighted average
shares and dilutive effect of stock options outstanding during the period
totaling 4,778,000 and 4,606,000 for the three month periods ended March 31,
1997 and 1996, respectively.
6. BRANCH ACQUISITION
On February 21, 1997, the Bank of Salinas purchased certain assets and assumed
certain liabilities of the Gonzales and Castroville offices of Wells Fargo Bank
(including unaudited total deposit liabilities of approximately $34 million). As
a result of the transaction the Bank assumed deposit liabilities, received cash
and acquired tangible assets. In addition, the transaction resulted in
intangible assets, representing the excess of the liabilities assumed over the
fair value of the tangible assets acquired.
7. STOCK SPLIT
On March 28, 1997, a 3-for-2 stock split was distributed to stockholders of
record as of March 14, 1997. All share and per share data have been
retroactively adjusted to reflect the stock split.
8. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARD
In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings per Share" (SFAS 128). The
Company is required to adopt SFAS 128 in the fourth quarter of 1997 and will
restate at that time earnings per share (EPS) data for prior periods to conform
with SFAS 128. Earlier application is not permitted.
SFAS 128 replaces current EPS reporting requirements and requires a dual
presentation of basic and diluted EPS. Basic EPS excludes dilution and is
computed by dividing net income by the weighted average 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.
If SFAS 128 had been in effect during the current and prior year periods, basic
EPS would have been $.34 and $.42 for the quarters ended March 31, 1997 and
1996, respectively. Diluted EPS under SFAS 128 would not have been significantly
different than EPS currently reported for the periods.

Item 2.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Certain matters discussed or incorporated by reference in this Annual Report on
Form 10-K are forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and
uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those
projected. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, matters
described in Item 7 - "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations." Therefore, the information set forth
therein should be carefully considered when evaluating the business prospects of
the Company and the Banks.
Business Organization
Central Coast Bancorp (the "Company") is a California corporation organized in
1994, and is the parent company for Bank of Salinas and Cypress Bank (the
"Banks"), state-chartered banks, headquartered in Salinas and Seaside,
California, respectively. Other than its investment in the Banks, the Company
currently conducts no other significant business activities, although it is
authorized to engage in a variety of activities which are deemed closely related
to the business of banking upon prior approval of the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System (the "FRB"), the Company's principal regulator.
The Banks offer a full range of commercial banking services, offering a diverse
range of traditional banking products and services to individuals, merchants,
small and medium-sized businesses, professionals and agribusiness enterprises
located in the Salinas Valley and Monterey Peninsula.
Summary of Financial Results
At March 31, 1997, total assets of Central Coast Bancorp were $430,316,000, an
increase of $53,484,000 or 14.2% from December 31, 1996 total assets of
$376,832,000. Average total assets for the quarters ended March 31, 1997 and
1996 were $390,871,000 and $351,727,000, respectively.
On February 21, 1997, the Bank of Salinas purchased certain assets and assumed
certain liabilities of the Gonzales and Castroville offices of Wells Fargo Bank
(including unaudited total deposit liabilities of approximately $34 million). As
a result of the transaction the Bank assumed deposit liabilities, received cash
and acquired tangible assets. In addition, the transaction resulted in
intangible assets, representing the excess of the liabilities assumed over the
fair value of the tangible assets acquired.
Net loans at March 31, 1997 were $232,906,000 compared to $235,992,000 at
December 31, 1996, a decrease of $3,086,000 or 1.3%. The decrease in loan
balances is primarily the result of decreases in commercial, construction and
land development and consumer loan
10
<PAGE> 11
categories. Commercial loans decreased $3,363,000 or 3.0% to $108,182,000 at
March 31, 1997 from $111,545,000 at December 31, 1996. The decrease in
commercial loan balances is primarily due to seasonal fluctuation related to the
agribusinesss sector of the local economy. Real estate construction and land
development loans of $22,380,000 at March 31, 1997 represented a decrease of
$5,617,000 or 20.1% from $27,997,000 at December 31, 1996. Partially offsetting
this decrease, was an increase in real estate mortgage loan balances of
$6,451,000 or 6.9% to $99,692,000 at March 31, 1997 compared to $93,241,000 at
December 31, 1996.
The Company designated securities with an estimated market value of $24,529,000
as available-for-sale at March 31, 1997. The amortized cost of securities
designated as available-for-sale at March 31,1997 was $24,618,000. The
available-for-sale portfolio at March 31, 1997 consists primarily of
investment-grade bankers' acceptances, U.S. Treasury bills and notes and
securities issued by U.S. government-sponsored agencies (FNMA, FHLMC and FHLB)
with maturities within five years. During the three months ended March 31, 1997,
the Company made securities purchases of $24,617,000 to more fully employ excess
liquidity.
Securities designated as held-to-maturity at March 31, 1997 were carried at an
amortized cost of $75,059,000. The estimated market value of the
held-to-maturity portfolio at quarter end was $74,759,000. The held-to-maturity
portfolio at March 31, 1997 consists primarily of U.S. Treasury bills and notes
and securities issued by U.S. government-sponsored agencies with maturities
within five years. Investment securities classified as held-to-maturity are
measured at amortized cost based on the Company's intent and ability to hold
such securities to maturity. During the three months ended March 31, 1997, the
Company made securities purchases of $7,733,000 to replace $3,566,000 of
maturities and to more fully employ excess liquidity.
Other earning assets are comprised of Federal funds sold and time deposits at
other financial institutions. Federal funds sold balances of $54,706,000 at
March 31, 1997 represent an increase of $31,571,000 over $23,135,000 at December
31, 1996. The increase in federal funds sold primarily reflects Bank of Salinas'
addition of two branch offices purchased from Wells Fargo in February. The
Company also invests a portion of its excess liquidity in time deposits at other
financial institutions. Time deposits in other financial institutions were
$399,000 at March 31, 1997 compared to $999,000 at December 31, 1996,
representing a decrease of $600,000. The decrease in time deposits at other
institutions is a result of management's decision to redeploy these funds into
other short-term investment securities.
Total deposits of $384,856,000 at March 31, 1997 represent an increase of
$46,193,000 or 13.6% over balances of $338,663,000 at December 31, 1996. The
increase total in deposits includes increases in all deposit categories,
primarily as a result of Bank of Salinas' branch acquisition noted above.
Interest bearing demand balances increased $24,413,000 or 32.0% to $100,805,000
at March 31, 1997 from $76,392,000 at December 31, 1996. Interest bearing demand
deposits represented approximately 37.9% of the deposits acquired by Bank of
Salinas. Noninterest-bearing demand deposits were $92,453,000 at March 31, 1997
compared to $90,149,000 at December 31, 1996, an increase of $2,304,000 or 2.6%.
The increase in noninterest bearing demand balances related to the branch
purchase was partially offset by seasonal fluctuation in this category. Savings
balances of $90,179,000 represent a
11

slight increase of $529,000 or .6% over $89,650,000 at December 31, 1996.
Additionally, time deposits increased $18,947,000 or 23.0% to $101,419,000 at
March 31, 1997 from $82,472,000 at December 31, 1996.

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1997 AND 1996
Net income for the three months ended March 31, 1997 was $1,451,000 or $.30 per
share compared to $1,784,000 or $.39 per share for the comparable period in
1996. The following discussion highlights changes in certain items in the
consolidated condensed statements of income.
Net interest income
Net interest income, the difference between interest earned on loans and
investments and interest paid on deposits and other borrowings, is the principal
component of the Bank's earnings. The components of net interest income are as

- ----------
1 Loan interest income includes fee income of $276,000 and $173,000, for the
three month periods ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively, and
interest recognized from payments received on nonaccrual loans of $619,000
for the three month period ended
13
<PAGE> 14
March 31, 1996 (none for the three month period ended March 31, 1997).
2 Average balances of loans include average allowance for loan losses of
$4,354,000 and $4,421,000, and average deferred loan fees of $649,000 and
$543,000 for the three month periods ended March 31, 1997 and 1996,
respectively.
3 Net interest margin is computed by dividing net interest income by total
average earning assets.
Net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 1997 was $5,020,000
representing an improvement of $64,000 or 1.3% over $4,956,000 for the
comparable period in 1996. As a percentage of average earning assets, the net
interest margin for the first three months of 1997 was 5.6% and compares to 6.0%
in the same period one year earlier. The increase in net interest income is
comprised of an increase of $114,000 or 1.5% in interest income partially offset
by an increase in interest expense of $50,000 or 2.0%.
Net interest income for the first quarter of 1996 included approximately
$498,000 recognized as a result of collection of foregone interest on one
nonaccruing loan. Excluding this nonrecurring event, the increase in net
interest income would have been $562,000 or 11.3% and a comparable net interest
margin of 5.5%.
Interest income recognized in the three months ended March 31, 1997 was
$7,632,000 representing an increase of $114,000 or 1.5% over $7,518,000 for the
same period of 1996. The increase in interest income was primarily due to an
increase in the volume of average earning assets and was partially offset by the
nonrecurring recovery of nonaccrual interest in the first quarter of 1996 noted
above. Earning assets averaged $360,889,000 in the three months ended March 31,
1997 compared to $328,772,000 in the same period in 1996, representing an
increase of $32,117,000 or 9.8%. The increase in average earning assets included
an increase in average net loans of $42,020,000 or 21.6% that was partially
offset by decreases in investment securities and fed funds sold of $1,058,000
and $8,845,000 or 1.3% and 16.2%, respectively. In addition, as noted above,
interest income for the first quarter of 1996 includes approximately $498,000,
recognized as a result of collection of foregone interest on one nonaccruing
loan. Excluding this nonrecurring event, the increase in interest income would
have been $612,000 or 8.7%.
The average yield on interest earning assets decreased to 8.6% in the first
three months of 1997 compared to 9.2% for the first three months of 1996. The
average yield on earning assets in the first quarter of 1996 after adjusting for
the impact of the nonrecurring event noted above would have been 8.7%. Loan fees
recognized during the first three months of 1997 were $276,000 compared to
$173,000 one year earlier.
Partially offsetting the increase in interest income was an increase in the cost
of liabilities funding the growth in average earning assets. Interest expense
for the three months ended March 31, 1997 was $2,612,000 and represented an
increase of $50,000 or 2.0% over $2,562,000 for the three months ended March 31,
1996. During the three months ended March 31, 1997, the average rate paid by the
Bank on interest-bearing liabilities was 3.9% compared to 4.0% for the same
period in 1996. The increase in interest expense for the first quarter of 1997
reflects the impact of an increase in the volume of average interest bearing
liabilities as a result of the Bank of Salinas branch purchase. Average interest
bearing liabilities were $272,623,000 in the three months ended March 31, 1997
compared to $258,605,000 for the same period in 1996, an increase of $14,018,000
or 5.4%. Partially
14
<PAGE> 15
offsetting the impact on net interest income resulting from the increase in
interest bearing liabilities was an increase in average noninterest bearing
demand deposits. Average noninterest bearing demand deposits of $80,170,000 for
the quarter ended March 31, 1997 represented an increase of $19,809,000 or 32.8%
over $60,361,000 for the same period one year earlier.
Credit Risk and Provision for Credit Losses
The Company assesses and manages credit risk on an ongoing basis through
stringent credit review and approval policies, extensive internal monitoring and
established formal lending policies. Additionally, the Company contracts with an
outside loan review consultant to periodically grade new loans and to review the
existing loan portfolio. Management believes its ability to identify and assess
risk and return characteristics of the Company's loan portfolio is critical for
profitability and growth. Management strives to continue the historically low
level of credit losses by continuing its emphasis on credit quality in the loan
approval process, active credit administration and regular monitoring. With this
in mind, management has designed and implemented a comprehensive loan review and
grading system that functions to continually assess the credit risk inherent in
the loan portfolio.
Ultimately, credit quality may be influenced by underlying trends in the
economic and business cycles. The Company's business is concentrated in Monterey
County, California whose economy is highly dependent on the agricultural
industry. As a result, the Company lends money to individuals and companies
dependent upon the agricultural industry. In addition, the Company has
significant extensions of credit and commitments to extend credit which are
secured by real estate, totalling approximately $145 million. The ultimate
recovery of these loans is generally dependent on the successful operation, sale
or refinancing of the real estate. The Company monitors the effects of current
and expected market conditions and other factors on the collectibility of real
estate loans. When, in management's judgement, these loans are impaired,
appropriate provision for losses is recorded. The more significant assumptions
management considers involve estimates of the following: lease, absorption and
sale rates; real estate values and rates of return; operating expenses;
inflation; and sufficiency of collateral independent of the real estate
including, in limited instances, personal guarantees.
In extending credit and commitments to borrowers, the Company generally requires
collateral and/or guarantees as security. The repayment of such loans is
expected to come from cash flow or from proceeds from the sale of selected
assets of the borrowers. The Company's requirement for collateral and/or
guarantees is determined on a case-by-case basis in connection with management's
evaluation of the credit worthiness of the borrower. Collateral held varies but
may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment,
income-producing properties, residences and other real property. The Company
secures its collateral by perfecting its interest in business assets, obtaining
deeds of trust, or outright possession among other means. Credit losses from
lending transactions related to real estate and agriculture compare favorably
with the Company's credit losses on its loan portfolio as a whole.
In the first quarter of 1997, the Bank did not record a provision for loan
losses through a charge to earnings as a response to a strengthening economy and
continued strong credit
15
<PAGE> 16
performance. This compares to $20,000 charged against earnings for the same
period in 1996. Loan balances of $88,000, which were previously identified and
fully reserved for, were charged-off in the first quarter of 1997 compared to
$88,000 charged-off in the same period one year earlier. Recoveries of loan
balances previously charged-off were $29,000 for the quarter ended March 31,
1997 compared to $16,000 for the same period in 1996. See Note 3 of the
consolidated condensed financial statements for further discussion of
nonperforming loans and the allowance for credit losses.
At March 31, 1997 the allowance for credit losses was $4,313,000 or 1.81% of
total loans, compared to $4,372,000 or 1.81% at December 31, 1996.
Management believes that the allowance for loan losses is maintained at an
adequate level for known and anticipated future risks inherent in the loan
portfolio. However, the Company's loan portfolio, particularly the real estate
related segments, may be adversely affected if California's economic conditions
and Monterey County real estate market were to weaken. As a result, the level of
nonperforming loans, the provision for loan losses and the level of the
allowance for loan losses may increase.
Noninterest Income and Expense
Noninterest income consists primarily of service charges on deposit accounts and
fees for miscellaneous services. Total other income was $386,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 1997 as compared to $412,000 for the same period of 1996.
The decrease in noninterest income is primarily the result of a decrease in
mortgage loan origination fees of approximately $30,000 and a decrease in gains
on sales of SBA loans of approximately $35,000. Partially offsetting this impact
was an increase in service charges on deposit accounts of $22,000.
Noninterest expense increased $570,000 or 24.0% to $2,949,000 in the quarter
ended March 31, 1997 from $2,379,000 in the same period one year earlier. The
increase in noninterest expenses is primarily due to increases in salaries and
benefits, occupancy and equipment, directors fees and supplies expense. As a
percentage of average earning assets, other expenses, on an annualized basis,
increased to 3.3% in the first three months of 1997 from 2.9% in the first three
months of 1996.
Salary and benefits expense was $1,833,000 in the three months ended March 31,
1997 compared to $1,488,000 in the same period one year earlier, an increase of
$345,000 or 23.2%. The increase in salary and benefits expense is primarily due
to increased headcount related to the branch acquisition by Bank of Salinas and
a de novo branch established in Monterey by Cypress Bank. In addition, salary
and benefits expense for the first quarter of 1997 includes an accrual of
$63,000 for benefits under salary continuation agreements entered into with
Executive Officers of the Company effective in the fourth quarter of 1996.
Occupancy expense for the quarter ended March 31, 1997 was $204,000 and
represented an increase of $9,000 or 4.6% over $195,000 for the same period last
year. The increase in occupancy expense relates to the branch acquisition by
Bank of Salinas and the opening of a de novo branch by Cypress Bank.

LIQUIDITY AND INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY
Liquidity
Liquidity management refers to the Company's ability to provide funds on an
ongoing basis to meet fluctuations in deposit levels as well as the credit needs
and requirements of its clients. Both assets and liabilities contribute to the
Company's liquidity position. Federal funds lines, short-term investments and
securities, and loan repayments contribute to liquidity, along with deposit
increases, while loan funding and deposit withdrawals decrease liquidity. The
Bank assesses the likelihood of projected funding requirements by reviewing
historical funding patterns, current and forecasted economic conditions and
individual client funding needs. Commitments to fund loans and outstanding
standby letters of credit at March 31, 1997, were approximately $84,884,000 and
$1,458,000, respectively. Such loans relate primarily to revolving lines of
credit and other commercial loans, and to real estate construction loans.
The Company's sources of liquidity consist of its deposits with other banks,
overnight funds sold to correspondent banks, unpledged short-term, marketable
investments and loans held for sale. On March 31, 1997, consolidated liquid
assets totaled $140.9 million or 32.8% of total assets as compared to $85.1
million or 22.6% of total consolidated assets on December 31, 1996. In addition
to liquid assets, the subsidiary banks maintain lines of credit with
correspondent banks for up to $15,000,000 available on a short-term basis.
Informal agreements are also in place with various other banks to purchase
participations in loans, if necessary. The Company serves primarily a business
and professional customer base and, as such, its deposit base is susceptible to
economic fluctuations. Accordingly, management strives to maintain a balanced
position of liquid assets to volatile and cyclical deposits.
Liquidity is also affected by portfolio maturities and the effect of interest
rate fluctuations on the marketability of both assets and liabilities. In
addition, it has been the Company's policy to restrict average maturities in the
investment portfolio to not more than three years. The short-term repricing
characteristics of the loan and investment portfolios, and loan agreements which
generally require monthly interest payments, provide the Bank with additional
secondary sources of liquidity. Another key liquidity ratio is the ratio of
gross loans to total deposits, which was 61.8% at March 31, 1997 and 71.2% at
December 31, 1996.
Interest rate sensitivity
Interest rate sensitivity is a measure of the exposure to fluctuations in the
Bank's future earnings caused by fluctuations in interest rates. Such
fluctuations result from the mismatch in repricing characteristics of assets and
liabilities at a specific point in time. This mismatch, or interest rate
sensitivity gap, represents the potential mismatch in the change in the rate of
accrual of interest revenue and interest expense from a change in market
interest rates. Mismatches in interest rate repricing among assets and
liabilities arise primarily from the interaction of various customer businesses
(i.e., types of loans versus the types of deposits maintained) and from
management's discretionary investment and funds gathering activities. The
Company attempts to manage its exposure to interest rate sensitivity, but due to
its size and direct competition from the major banks, it must offer products
which are competitive in the market place, even if less than optimum with
respect to its interest rate exposure.
17
<PAGE> 18
The Company's natural position is asset-sensitive (based upon the significant
amount of variable rate loans and the repricing characteristics of its deposit
accounts). This natural position provides a hedge against rising interest rates,
but has a detrimental effect during times of interest rate decreases.
The following table sets forth the distribution of repricing opportunities,
based on contractual terms, of the Bank's earning assets and interest-bearing
liabilities at March 31, 1997, the interest rate sensitivity gap (i.e. interest
rate sensitive assets less interest rate sensitive liabilities), the cumulative
interest rate sensitivity gap, the interest rate sensitivity gap ratio (i.e.
interest rate sensitive assets divided by interest rate sensitive liabilities)
and the cumulative interest rate sensitivity gap ratio.

</TABLE>
It is management's objective to maintain stability in the net interest margin in
times of fluctuating interest rates by maintaining an appropriate mix of
interest sensitive assets and liabilities. The Banks strive to achieve this goal
through the composition and maturities of the investment portfolio and by
adjusting pricing of interest-bearing liabilities, however, as noted above, the
ability to manage interest rate exposure may be constrained by competitive
18
<PAGE> 19
pressures.
CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's total shareholders' equity was $37,783,000 at March 31, 1997
compared to $36,332,000 at December 31, 1996.
The Company and the Bank are subject to regulations issued by the Board of
Governors and the FDIC which require that it maintain a certain level of
capital. These regulations impose two capital standards: a risk-based capital
standard and a leverage capital standard.
Under the Board of Governor's risk-based capital guidelines, assets reported on
an institution's balance sheet and certain off-balance sheet items are assigned
to risk categories, each of which has an assigned risk weight. Capital ratios
are calculated by dividing the institution's qualifying capital by its
period-end risk-weighted assets. The guidelines establish two categories of
qualifying capital: Tier 1 Capital (defined to included common shareholders'
equity and noncumulative perpetual preferred stock) and Tier 2 capital defined
to include limited life (and in the case of banks, cumulative) preferred stock,
mandatory convertible securities, subordinated debt and a limited amount of
reserves for loan and lease losses). Each institution is required to maintain a
risk-based capital ratio (including Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital) of 8%, of which
at least half must be Tier 1 capital.
Under the Board of Governors' leverage capital standard an institution is
required to maintain a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to the sum of its
quarterly average total assets and quarterly average reserve for loan losses,
less intangibles not included in Tier 1 capital. Period-end assets may be used
in place of quarterly average total assets on a case-by-case basis. A minimum
leverage ratio of 3% is required for institutions which have been determined to
be in the highest of five categories used by regulators to rate financial
institutions and which are not experiencing or anticipating significant growth.
All other organizations are required to maintain leverage ratios of at least 100
to 200 basis points above the 3% minimum.
The table below presents the capital and leverage ratios of the Company as of:

</TABLE>
On December 19, 1991, the President signed the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 ("FDICIA"). The FDICIA, among other matters,
substantially revises banking regulations and established a framework for
determination of capital adequacy of financial institutions. Under the FDICIA,
financial institutions are placed into one of five
19
<PAGE> 20
capital adequacy categories as follows: (1) "well capitalized" consisting of
institutions with a total risk-based capital ratio of 10% or greater, a Tier 1
risk-based capital ratio of 6% or greater and a leverage ratio of 5% or greater,
and the institution is not subject to an order, written agreement, capital
directive or prompt corrective action directive; (2) "adequately capitalized"
consisting of institutions with a total risk-based capital ratio of 8% or
greater, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 4% or greater and a leverage ratio
of 4% or greater, and the institution does not meet the definition of a "well
capitalized" institution; (3) "undercapitalized" consisting of institutions with
a total risk-based capital ratio less than 8%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio
of less than 4%, or a leverage ratio of less than 4%; (4) "significantly
undercapitalized" consisting of institutions with a total risk-based capital
ratio of less than 6%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of less than 3%, or a
leverage ratio of less than 3%; and, (5) "critically undercapitalized"
consisting of an institution with a ratio of tangible equity to total assets
that is equal to or less than 2%.
Financial institutions classified as undercapitalized or below are subject to
various limitations including, among other matters, certain supervisory actions
by bank regulatory authorities and restrictions related to (i) growth of assets,
(ii) payment of interest on subordinated indebtedness, (iii) payment of
dividends or other capital distributions, and (iv) payment of management fees to
a parent holding company. The FDICIA requires the bank regulatory authorities to
initiate corrective action regarding financial institutions which fail to meet
minimum capital requirements. Such action may, among other matters, require that
the financial institution augment capital and reduce total assets. Critically
undercapitalized financial institutions may also be subject to appointment of a
receiver or conservator unless the financial institution submits an adequate
capitalization plan.
INFLATION
The impact of inflation on a financial institution differs significantly from
that exerted on manufacturing, or other commercial concerns, primarily because
its assets and liabilities are largely monetary. In general, inflation primarily
affects the Company indirectly through its effect on market rates of interest,
and thus the ability of the Bank to attract loan customers. Inflation affects
the growth of total assets by increasing the level of loan demand, and
potentially adversely affects the Company's capital adequacy because loan growth
in inflationary periods can increase at rates higher than the rate that capital
grows through retention of earnings which the Company may generate in the
future. In addition to its effects on interest rates, inflation directly affects
the Company by increasing the Company's operating expenses.
The effect of inflation was not material to the Company's results of operations
during the periods covered by this report.
