REGENCY BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1. - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Regency Bancorp and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the "Company"). Regency
Bancorp is a California corporation organized to act as the holding company for
Regency Bank (the "Bank") and Regency Investment Advisors, Inc. ("RIA"). RIA
provides investment management and consulting services. The Bank has one
wholly-owned subsidiary, Regency Service Corporation, a California corporation
("RSC"), that has engaged in the business of real estate development primarily
in the Fresno/Clovis area. All significant intercompany balances and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
These unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles on a basis consistent
with the accounting policies reflected in the audited consolidated financial
statements of the Company included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 1997. They do not, however, include all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles
for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the unaudited
interim consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (all of which
are of a normal, recurring nature) necessary for a fair presentation of the
results for the interim periods presented. Operating results for the interim
periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for any other interim period or for the year as a whole.
NOTE 2. - RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Effective January 1, 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 130, "Reporting of Comprehensive Income." This
Statement requires that all items recognized under accounting standards as
components of comprehensive earnings be reported in an annual financial
statement that is displayed with the same prominence as other annual financial
statements. This Statement also requires that an entity classify items of other
comprehensive earnings by their nature in an annual financial statement.
Accordingly, the Company included unrealized gains and losses on
available-for-sale securities in comprehensive earnings in the accompanying
statement of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1998
and 1997.
In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of
an Enterprise and Related Information," which establishes annual and interim
reporting standards for an enterprise's business segments and related
disclosures about its products, services, geographic areas and major customers.
This Statement is effective for fiscal years after December 15, 1997. Adoption
of this Statement will not impact the Company's consolidated financial position,
results of operations or cash flows.

NOTE 3. - INVESTMENT SECURITIES
During the period between December 31, 1997 and September 30, 1998, the
Company recorded a net increase in the value of its available-for-sale portfolio
of $123,000 net of applicable taxes. This change is reflected as a change in
shareholders' equity in the Consolidated Statement of Shareholders' Equity.
Following is a comparison of the amortized cost and approximate fair value of
securities available-for-sale:

</TABLE>
In addition to the available-for-sale securities listed above the Company
held $1,170,000 in nonmarketable equity securities at September 30, 1998. These
securities are made up of Federal Reserve Bank and Federal Home Loan Bank stock
which is not traded on a recognized exchange. In order to maintain membership in
these banks an equity investment is required. The Company can resell its
investment to either the Federal Reserve or the Federal Home Loan Bank should it
choose to relinquish membership. At September 30, 1998 no impairment reserve was
deemed necessary. The Company held no nonmarketable equity securities at
December 31, 1997.
At September 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997, the Company held no securities
classified as held-to-maturity.
NOTE 4. - LOANS
The following table presents a breakdown of the Company's loan portfolio in both
dollars outstanding, as well as, a percentage of total loans. Further discussion

NOTE 5. - EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to
common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding
during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income
available to common shareholders by the weighted average common shares
outstanding during the period plus potential common shares outstanding. 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
Company. Diluted loss per common share is equal to basic loss per common share
for the nine month period ended September 30, 1997, because the effect of
potentially dilutive securities under the stock option plans were antidilutive.
The following table provides a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator
of the basic EPS computation with the numerator and denominator of the diluted
EPS computation for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1998
and 1997:

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Certain matters discussed in this Report on Form 10-Q 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, those described in Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. Changes to such risks
and uncertainties, which could impact future financial performance, include,
among other things, (1) competitive pressures in the banking industry; (2)
changes in the interest rate environment; (3) general economic conditions,
either nationally or regionally; (4) changes in the regulatory environment;
(5) changes in business conditions and inflation; and (6) changes in security
markets. Therefore, the information set forth therein should be carefully
considered when evaluating the business prospects of the Company and the Bank.
FINANCIAL SUMMARY
It took a year, but the seeds planted in mid-year 1997 have begun to
produce a bountiful harvest as reflected in our 1998 third quarter performance.
Among the highlights for the quarter ended September 30, 1998 were record net
income of $1,078,000; return on assets of 2.02%; return on equity of 20.87%;
record assets of $223,818,000; record loans of $144,305,000; record deposits of
$198,725,000; the removal (i) by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation,
effective as of September 3, 1998 of the cease and desist order issued on
November 14, 1997 and (ii) by the California Department of Financial
Institutions effective as of September 15, 1998 of the order issued on November
14, 1997; and the Bank was accepted as a Federal Reserve member bank. While not
every quarter will be equally as monumental, we are excited about the future and
look forward with optimism.
Net income reached $2,226,000 for the first nine months of 1998, an
increase of $3,832,000 from a loss of $1,606,000 for the first nine months of
1997. The increase in income was the result of significantly higher levels of
earning assets producing interest income, as well as, a dramatic reduction of
losses related to RSC's real estate investments. For the quarter ended September
30, 1998, net income reached $1,078,000, an increase of $777,000 or 258% from
$301,000 for the same period in 1997. In addition to the improvements mentioned
above, the Company recovered approximately $335,000 in previously charged off
assets related to RSC. These recoveries had the effect of increasing after-tax
income by $195,000.
The reduction of RSC's holdings has allowed the Company to increase its
earning assets, most significantly in the loan portfolio. Total loans increased
to $144,305,000 at September 30, 1998, up 11.3% from $129,635,000 at year-end
and up 20.4% in the last twelve months. During the last twelve months ending
September 30, 1998, interest-earning assets have increased by $48,719,000, and
now account for more than 92% of the Company's total assets. The growth in loans
and other earning assets have allowed the Company to improve its interest income
and subsequently its net income.
Earnings/(loss) per weighted average common share were $.41 for the third
quarter of 1998 and $.85 for the first nine months of 1998, compared to earnings
of $.16 per share in the third quarter of 1997 and a loss of $(.87) per share
for the nine month period ended September 30, 1997. The Company paid no cash
dividends in the third quarter of 1998 or 1997. The Company's return on average
assets improved to 2.02% for the third quarter of 1998, compared to .63% for the
comparable period in 1997. For the first nine months of 1998 return
10
<PAGE>
on average assets was 1.49% compared to (1.17)% for the first nine months of
1997. Return on average common equity for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 1998, was 20.87% and 15.08% respectively, compared to 9.58% and
(16.04)% for the comparable periods in 1997.
In addition to improving the revenue side of the income statement,
management and staff have focused attention on expenses with a goal of
continually improving efficiency by controlling operating expense as the Company
grows. Over the past year, operating efficiency has shown steady improvement.
Noninterest expense to average assets, one measurement of efficiency, improved
to 4.23% for the quarter ended September 30, 1998 and 4.93% for the first nine
months of 1998 from 5.09% and 7.84% for the comparable periods in 1997. The
Company's efficiency ratio improved to 53.5% for the quarter ended September 30,
1998 compared to 71.1% for the third quarter of 1997.
At September 30, 1998, the Company's total risk-based capital ratio was
15.67% while the leverage ratio was 9.21%. Both ratios are well in excess of
minimum capital standards.
ADMINISTRATIVE ORDERS
As a result of an examination of the Bank as of June 30, 1997, the FDIC
determined that the Company required special supervisory attention. The Bank
consented to an FDIC Order on October 28, 1997. The FDIC Order was a
"cease-and-desist order" for the purposes of Section 8 of the Federal Deposit
Insurance Act. Additionally, the Bank stipulated to the issuance of a State
Order by the CDFI, the State Order was a final order pursuant to Section 1913 of
the California Financial Code.
During the third quarter ended September 30, 1998, the Bank received
written notice from the FDIC and CDFI that both orders had been "terminated",
i.e. they have been cancelled and removed in their entirety.
NET INTEREST INCOME
The Company's operating results depend primarily on net interest income
(the difference between the interest earned on loans and investments less
interest expense on deposit accounts and borrowings). A primary factor affecting
the level of net interest income is the Company's interest rate margin, the
difference between the yield earned on interest earning assets and the rate paid
on interest bearing liabilities, as well as the difference between the relative
amounts of average interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities.
The following tables present, for the periods indicated, the Company's
total dollar amount of interest income from average interest earning assets and
the resultant yields, as well as the interest expense on average interest
bearing liabilities and the resultant cost, expressed both in dollars and rates.
The tables also set forth the net interest income and the net earning balance
for the periods indicated.

Changes in the interest margin can be attributed to changes in the yield on
interest earning assets, the rate paid on interest bearing liabilities, as well
as changes in the volume of interest earning assets and interest bearing
liabilities. The following table presents the dollar amount of certain changes
in interest income and expense for each major component of interest earning
assets and interest bearing liabilities and the difference attributable to
changes in average rates and volumes for the periods indicated.

Net interest income before the provision for credit losses was
$3,452,000 for the third quarter of 1998 as compared to $2,680,000 for the
comparable period of 1997, an increase of $772,000 or 28.8%. The net interest
margin for the third quarter ended September 30, 1998 was 7.11% compared to
6.67% during the comparable period in 1997. The increase in net interest
income and net interest margin was primarily attributable to a larger earning
asset base, primarily in the loan portfolio. This increase in loans was the
result of the Bank holding new production Small Business Administration
("SBA") and Business and Industry ("B&I") loans rather than selling these
loans on the secondary market. The Company's earning asset yield declined
slightly to 10.01% during the third quarter of 1998, compared to 10.03% in
the third quarter of 1997. The yield on earning assets was also augmented by
a lower number of nonaccrual loans and the recovery of a significant amount
of interest on RSC loans that had previously been on nonaccrual, however,
lower interest rates in general caused a slight decline in the overall net
yield on earning assets. The recovery of nonaccrued interest on RSC loans
during 1998's third quarter had the effect of increasing the net interest
margin approximately 8 basis points on average. In addition to the increase
in earning assets and earning asset yield, the Company was able to lower its
cost of funds through the use of cash liberated from the sale of RSC's real
estate investments, as well as, lower interest rates in general.
Average interest-earning assets for the third quarter ended September
30, 1998 increased to $192,709,000 from $159,492,000 for the comparable
period in 1997 an increase of $33,217,000 or 20.8%. Average loans increased
by $28,740,000 to $143,979,000 representing 74.7% of average interest-earning
assets for the third quarter of 1998, compared to $115,239,000 or 72.3 % for
the third quarter of 1997. The yield on average loans declined slightly to
11.29% for the third quarter of 1998, from 11.46% for the comparable period
in 1997, primarily due to lower market interest rates caused by aggressive
competition from major banks.
14
<PAGE>
Other interest-earning assets consist of investment securities,
overnight federal funds sold and other short-term investments. These
investments are maintained to meet the liquidity requirements of the Company,
as well as, pledging requirements on certain deposits and typically have a
lower yield than loans. The yield on investments decreased to 6.26% for the
third quarter ended September 30, 1998, from 6.45% in the comparable period
in 1997. On a fully tax equivalent basis the yield on investments was 6.79%
for the third quarter ended September 30, 1998 compared to 6.75% for the
third quarter ended September 30, 1997. The primary causes of the decline in
investment yield were older, higher yielding bonds maturing and being
replaced by lower yielding investments due to lower interest rates in the
bond market. Excess liquidity is invested in federal funds sold on an
overnight basis. During the third quarter of 1998, the Bank increased the
amount of funds invested in overnight federal funds. This increase was a
result of the Bank's efforts to take advantage of an inverted yield curve for
short term investments with the federal funds rate being higher than other
short and medium term investments. The yield on federal funds sold and other
short term investments was 5.95% in the third quarter of 1998 compared to
5.42% in the comparable period in 1997.
Average interest-bearing liabilities for the third quarter ended
September 30, 1998 increased to $142,674,000 from $135,243,000 for the
comparable period in 1997, an increase of $7,431,000 or 5.5%. For the third
quarter ended September 30, 1998, the average interest rate paid on
interest-bearing liabilities decreased slightly to 3.92% from an average rate
of 3.96% paid during the third quarter of 1997.

Net interest income before the provision for credit losses was
$9,674,000 for the first nine months of 1998 as compared to $7,178,000 for
the first nine months of 1997, an increase of $2,496,000 or 34.8%. The
increase was primarily attributable to a larger earning asset base, as well
as, an increase in the net interest margin. The increase in earning assets,
primarily in the loan portfolio, was the result of the Bank retaining SBA and
B&I loans rather than selling these loans on the secondary market. This shift
of assets into a larger loan portfolio resulted in the Company's earning
asset yield rising to 10.18% during the first nine months of 1998, compared
to 9.77% for the first nine months of 1997. The net interest margin for the
nine months ended September 30, 1998 was 7.20% compared to 6.30% during the
comparable period in 1997. The increased yield on earning assets and net
interest margin was augmented by a lower number of nonaccrual loans and the
recovery of interest that had previously been on nonaccrual. This recovery of
interest during the first nine months of 1998 had the effect of increasing
the net interest margin approximately 72 basis points on average.
Average interest-earning assets for the nine months ended September 30,
1998 increased to $179,730,000 from $152,392,000 for the comparable period in
1997, an increase of $27,338 or 17.9%. Average loans increased by $29,675 to
$137,568,000 representing 76.5% of average interest-earning assets for the
first nine months of 1998, compared to $107,893,000 or 70.8% for the first
nine months of 1997. The yield on average loans increased to 11.42% for the
first nine months of 1998, from 11.19% for the comparable period in 1997,
primarily due to recoveries of nonaccrued interest on RSC loans.
Other interest-earning assets consist of investment securities,
overnight federal funds sold and other short-term investments. These
investments are maintained to meet the liquidity requirements of the Company,
as well as, pledging requirements on certain deposits and typically have a
lower yield than loans. The yield on investments decreased to 6.17% for the
nine month period ended September 30, 1998, from 6.55% in the comparable
period in 1997. On a fully tax equivalent basis the yield on investments was
6.61% for the nine months ended September 30, 1998, compared to 6.74% for the
nine months ended September 30, 1997. The primary cause of the decline in
investment yield was lower interest rates in the bond market. Additionally,
the Company increased the percentage of tax free municipal bonds held in its
investment portfolio. These bonds typically carry lower coupons, however, the
interest earned is exempt from federal tax. Excess liquidity is invested in
federal funds sold on an overnight basis. The yield on federal funds sold and
other investments for the first nine months of 1998 and 1997 was 5.74% and
5.40%, respectively.
Average interest-bearing liabilities for the nine months ended September
30, 1998 grew marginally to $135,925,000 from $133,309,000 for the comparable
period in 1997, an increase of $2,616,000 or 2.0%. For the first nine months
ended September 30, 1998, the average interest rate paid on interest-bearing
liabilities decreased to 3.94% from an average rate of 3.97% paid during the
first nine months of 1997.

During the third quarter of 1998, the Company recognized noninterest
income of $771,000, compared to $724,000 for the same period in 1997, an
increase of $47,000 or 6.5%. For the first nine months of 1998, noninterest
income was $1,934,000, compared to $2,124,000 for the first nine months of
1997, a decrease of $190,000 or 9.0%. The decline for the first nine months
was primarily attributable to lower gains on the sale of loans, due to the
decision to retain a larger portfolio of these loans in the Bank's loan
portfolio, as well as, a decline in income from servicing fees on the loans
sold.
LOAN ORIGINATION & SALES
The Bank originates various types of loans that may be sold on active
secondary markets. Types of loans originated that are saleable include: loans
made under the U.S. Small Business Administration program that generally
provide for SBA guarantees of 70% to 90% of each loan; loans made under the
U.S. Department of Agriculture's Business and Industry loan program; and
conventional real estate mortgage loans. Historically, the majority of the
Bank's gain on sale of loans has come from SBA loan sales. During 1997, the
Company decided to hold the majority of SBA and B&I loans originated to more
rapidly build the Bank's loan portfolio and increase interest income.
From time to time, the Bank evaluates the valuations available on
various groups of loans and may sell groups of loans in an effort to maximize
their economic value. During the quarter ended September 30, 1998, the Bank
did not sell SBA or B&I loans, but actively sold newly originated home
mortgages. Net income from loans sold in the third quarter of 1998 was
$55,000 compared to $26,000 in the third quarter of 1997. For the nine months
ended September 30, 1998, gains on the sale of loans were $277,000 compared
to $512,000 during the first nine months of 1997, a decrease of $235,000. The
primary cause of the decline in income from the sale of loans for the first
nine months of 1998 compared to the first nine months of 1997 was the
decision to hold a larger portfolio of B&I and SBA guaranteed loans in the
Bank's portfolio.

<PAGE>
An additional source of income related to the Bank's SBA loan
origination activities is reflected in income from the ongoing servicing of
loans sold. During the third quarter ended September 30, 1998, servicing
income totaled $0, compared to servicing income of $83,000 during the quarter
ended September 30, 1997. Under generally accepted accounting principles,
when loans are sold a portion of the gain is deferred and accreted into
income over the expected life of the loan. Additionally, the projected
servicing income is calculated whereby a servicing asset is established and a
portion of this projected future servicing income is recognized as income at
the time of sale and a portion of the projected future income is deferred and
accreted to servicing income over the projected life of the loan. Due to
early payoffs on a number of older SBA loans, the reduction in servicing
income as a result of the elimination of the future serving asset was equal
to the gain from sale and servicing income for the period, thereby resulting
in net servicing fee income of $0 for the quarter. For the nine months ended
September 30, 1998, servicing income totaled $79,000, a decrease of $171,000
compared to $250,000 during the first nine months of 1997. The decline in
servicing income in 1998 compared to 1997 was the result of a smaller
portfolio of loans serviced during 1998 and the accretion of capitalized
servicing fees on previously sold loans that have pre-paid at an accelerated
rate.
REGENCY SERVICE CORPORATION
The Bank's wholly owned subsidiary, Regency Service Corporation, has
engaged in real estate development activities since 1986. Under FDIC
regulations, banks were required to divest their real estate development
investments as quickly as prudently possible but in no event later than
December 19, 1996, and submit a plan to the FDIC regarding divestiture of
such investments. In December 1995, the Bank and RSC submitted a request to
extend the mandatory time period in which it must divest its real estate
development interests. In December 1996, the FDIC, responding to the Bank's
request, granted the Bank and RSC a two-year extension, until December 31,
1998, to continue its divestiture activities.
As of September 30, 1998, RSC had only four units remaining compared to
66 units remaining at December 31, 1997 and 220 units remaining at September
30, 1997. When viewed on a stand-alone basis, RSC's activities combined to
produce net income of $342,000 for the first nine months of 1998. During the
most recent quarter, RSC was able to recover refundable deposits previously
charged-off on numerous projects of $220,000, as well as, interest from loans
previously on nonaccrual and principal from previously charged-off loans. The
recovery of principal increased the Company's and RSC's reserve for credit
losses by $142,000.
Management expects that RSC's performance for the remainder of 1998 will
be similar to the first nine months of 1998 and that any losses recorded on
the sale of properties will be offset by income or previously established
reserves. Additional discussion of loans made by RSC to facilitate the sale
of its properties and, in general, of the Company's investment in RSC, is
contained in this report under the headings, "Nonperforming Loans" and
"Investments in Real Estate."

REGENCY INVESTMENT ADVISORS, INC.
The Company's other wholly-owned subsidiary, Regency Investment
Advisors, was formed in August 1993 through the acquisition by the Bank of
the assets, including the client list, of a fee-only investment management
and consulting firm. RIA provides investment management and consulting
services, including comprehensive financial and retirement planning and
investment advice to individuals and corporate clients for an annual fee that
varies depending upon the size of a client account.
Revenue from RIA for the third quarter of 1998 increased to $242,000
from $198,000 in the same period of 1997, an increase of $44,000 or 22.2%. On
a stand alone basis, RIA's activities, (income from investment management
activities less operating expenses), provided the Company with after-tax
income of $37,000 in the third quarter of 1998 compared to after-tax income
of $29,000 in the third quarter of 1997.
For the nine months ended September 30, 1998, revenue from RIA increased
to $687,000 from $600,000 for the same period in 1997, an increase of $87,000
or 14.5%. On a stand alone basis, RIA's activities, (income from investment
management activities less operating expenses), provided the Company with
after-tax income of $106,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1998,
compared to after tax income of $77,000 for the same period in 1997, and
increase of 37.6%. RIA's operating expenses have been consolidated with
similar operating expenses in the Company's consolidated statement of income.
RIA's ability to generate and increase income comes, in large part, from
the volume of assets under management. As of September 30, 1998, RIA had
$100,700,000 in assets under management, an increase of $14,500,000, or 16.8%
compared to $86,200,000 as of September 30, 1997. Assets in client accounts
managed by RIA are not reflected in the consolidated assets of the Company.

THIRD QUARTER NONINTEREST EXPENSE
Noninterest expense reflects the costs of products and services,
systems, facilities and personnel for the Company. The major components of
other operating expenses stated both as dollars and as a percentage of
average assets are as follows:

- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
</TABLE>
Noninterest expense decreased by $160,000 or 6.6% to $2,260,000 for the
three months ended September 30, 1998, compared to $2,420,000 during the same
period of 1997. The decline in noninterest expense between the third quarter
of 1997 and 1998 was due primarily to significantly lower expenses related to
RSC's activities. When compared to average assets for the respective periods,
noninterest expense decreased to 4.23% in the third quarter of 1998 compared
to 5.09% in the comparable period in 1997.
The reduction of noninterest expense as a percentage of average assets
is a central part of the Company's overall plan to increase earnings through
improved efficiency. As a percentage of average assets, most expense
categories decreased over the past twelve months. However, certain categories
showed an increase; FDIC insurance and regulatory assessments increased by
68.1% or $32,000, to $79,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 1998,
compared to only $47,000 during the comparable quarter in 1997. This
substantial increase is the direct result of the FDIC and CDFI administrative
orders, as well as, the Bank's average capital level during the third and
fourth quarters of 1997. Management expects the Bank's FDIC insurance premium
to be $0 beginning in the first quarter of 1999. Additionally, management has
petitioned the FDIC for a rebate of a portion of the Bank's deposit insurance
premiums for quarters three and four of 1998. During the third quarter of
1998, professional expenses increased to $213,000 from $56,000 during the
third quarter of 1997. The increase was primarily related to one time
consulting expense related to the Company's year 2000 project, as well as,
general legal expenses. Salaries and related benefits, occupancy and most
other expense categories were similar in both the third quarters of 1998 and
1997. The other category of noninterest expense decreased to $148,000, for
the third quarter of 1998, a decline of $342,000, or 69.8% from $490,000 in
the comparable period of 1997. Other expense in 1997 was higher than normal
due to OREO writedowns and RSC expenses.

<PAGE>
All other noninterest expense categories declined as a percentage of
average assets with salaries and related benefits, the Company's largest
noninterest expense category, declining from 2.56% in the third quarter of 1997
to 2.45% in the third quarter of 1998. The Company has been able to maintain the
number of full time equivalent employees at or near levels of a year ago while
average assets have grown by 12.6%.

</TABLE>
For the nine months ended 1998, year-to-date noninterest expense
decreased substantially to $7,379,000 a decline of $3,392,000 or 31.5%, from
$10,771,000 in the first nine months of 1997. The decline in expense was
primarily the result of lower losses from investments in real estate. For the
first nine months of 1998, RSC's losses on the sale of real estate were
$121,000, a decline of $3,448,000 or 96.6% from $3,569,000 in the first nine
months of 1997. The large losses in 1997 resulted from expense for reserves
and the writedown of properties to facilitate the rapid disposition of RSC's
remaining assets. FDIC insurance and regulatory assessments increased by more
than 237% or $216,000 to $307,000 for the first nine months of 1998, compared
to $91,000 during the comparable period in 1997. This substantial increase is
the direct result of the FDIC and CDFI administrative orders, as well as, the
Bank's average capital level during the third and fourth quarters of 1997.
Professional services and marketing grew modestly in the nine months ended
September 30, 1998 compared to 1997 respectively. Professional services
include legal expense, audit and consulting services. Legal expense was
higher during the first nine months of 1998 due to expenses associated with
the Company's registration of stock issued in December 1997 as well as its
listing on Nasdaq. Consulting fees increased as a result of the Company's
year 2000 data processing project. Salaries and related benefits, occupancy,
director's fees, supplies and other expense all declined as a percentage of
average assets and were very similar in dollar terms. The other category of
noninterest expense declined to $781,000 for the first nine months of 1998
from $1,035,000 in the comparable period in 1997. The reduction in other
expense relates primarily to lower RSC expenses. Overall, the Company's
non-interest expense to average assets for the first nine months of 1998
declined to 4.93% compared to 7.84% for the comparable period of 1997.

BALANCE SHEET ANALYSIS
Total assets at September 30, 1998 were $223,818,000 an increase of
12.9% or $25,577 from $198,241,000 at December 31, 1997. At September 30,
1998, the Company's loan portfolio grew to $144,305,000 an increase of
$14,670,000 or 11.3% since December 31, 1997. Loan growth was substantially a
result of the decision to hold the majority of newly originated SBA and B&I
loans, rather than sell them on the secondary market, in an effort to
increase higher yielding assets and interest income. Total deposits were
$198,725,000 at September 30, 1998, up $22,446,000 or 12.7% from $176,279,000
at December 31, 1997. At September 30, 1998, the Company's net investment in
real estate was $0 from $4,338,000 at December 31, 1997.
LOANS
The three areas in which the Bank has directed virtually all of its
lending activities are: (a) commercial loans; (b) real estate loans
(including residential construction and mortgage loans); and (c) consumer
loans. The Company's loans are primarily made within its defined market area
of Fresno and Madera counties. The Bank also maintains a loan production
office in Modesto, California.
Commercial loans, including SBA and B&I loans, comprised approximately
66.2% of the Bank's loan portfolio at September 30, 1998, compared to 58.3%
at December 31, 1997 and 56.1% at September 30, 1997. These loans are
generally made to small and mid-size businesses and professionals. Commercial
loans are diversified as to industries and types of business with no material
industry concentrations. Most of these loans have floating rates based upon
underwriting analysis. The primary source of repayment on most commercial
loans is cash flow from the primary business. Additional collateral in the
form of real estate, cash, accounts receivable, inventory or other financial
instruments is often obtained as a secondary source of repayment.
Real estate construction lending comprised 14.5% of the Company's loan
portfolio at September 30, 1998, compared to 23.2% of the Bank's loan
portfolio at December 31, 1997, and 23.5% at September 30, 1997. These loans
are primarily made for the construction of single family residential housing.
Loans in this category may be made to the home buyer or to the developer.
Construction loans are secured by deeds of trust on the primary property. The
majority of construction loans have floating rates based upon underwriting
analysis. A significant portion of the borrowers' ability to repay these
loans is dependent upon the sale of the property which is affected by, among
other factors, the residential real estate market. In this regard, the
Company's potential risks include a general decline in the value of the
underlying property, as well as, cost overruns or delays in the sale or
completion of a property.
Real estate mortgage loans comprised 12.6% of the loan portfolio at
September 30, 1998, compared to 11.5% at December 31, 1997, and 12.9% of the
loan portfolio at September 30, 1997. Real estate mortgage loans are made up
of approximately 75% non-residential properties and 25% single-family,
residential mortgages. The non-residential loans generally are "mini-perm"
(medium-term) commercial real estate mortgages with maturities under seven
years. The residential mortgages are secured by first trust deeds and have
varying maturities. Both types of loans may have either fixed or floating
rates, of which, the majority are floating. Risks associated with
non-residential loans include the decline in value of commercial property
values; economic conditions surrounding commercial real estate properties;
and vacancy rates. The repayment
22
<PAGE>
of single-family residential mortgage loans is generally dependent upon the
income of the borrower from other sources, however, declines in the
underlying property value may create risk in these loans.
Consumer loans represented the remainder of the loan portfolio at
September 30, 1998, comprising 6.7% of the loan portfolio compared to 7.0% of
total loans at December 31, 1997 and 7.5% at September 30, 1997. This
category includes traditional consumer loans, home equity lines of credit,
and Visa card loans. Consumer loans are generally secured by third trust
deeds on single-family residences or personal property, while Visa cards are
unsecured.
RISK ELEMENTS
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 Bank 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. Additionally, management believes its ability to manage portfolio
credit risk is enhanced by knowledge of the Bank's service area by the Bank's
lending personnel and Board of Directors.
NONPERFORMING LOANS
The Company's and the Bank's current policy is to cease accruing
interest when a loan becomes 90-days past due as to principal or interest;
when the full, timely collection of interest or principal becomes uncertain;
or when a portion of the principal balance has been charged off, unless the
loan is well secured and in the process of collection. When a loan is placed
on nonaccrual status, the accrued and uncollected 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 or when the
loan is both well secured and in process of collection.
At September 30, 1998, nonperforming loans amounted to $1,456,000 or
1.01% of total loans compared to $1,736,000 or 1.34% at December 31, 1997,
and $2,013,000 or 1.68% at September 30, 1997. Other real estate owned was
$684,000 at September 30, 1998, compared to $503,000 at December 31, 1997.
Total nonperforming loans at September 30, 1998, compared to December 31,
1997, declined by $280,000. Of the total nonperforming loans, $231,000
represented loans RSC made to facilitate the sale of former partnership
properties that have loan to value ratios higher than would normally be made
by the Bank. These loans have dropped dramatically during 1998 and management
expects they will be paid off prior to year end. Without the non-accrual
loans made by RSC, the Bank's loan portfolio at September 30, 1998 had
$1,225,000 in non-accrual loans or .85%, compared to $598,000 in non-accrual
loans or 0.46% at December 31, 1997. Of the Bank's non-accrual loans
(excluding RSC loans) at September 30, 1998, $900,000 represented the portion
of SBA loans that are guaranteed by the SBA. Beginning in 1997, the SBA
changed the requirements for origination of SBA loans which are subsequently
sold in the secondary market. Under the new requirement, if a
23
<PAGE>
borrower defaults on an SBA guaranteed loan, the originating bank is required
to buy the guaranteed portion back and hold it in its portfolio until
collection efforts are exhausted. This guaranteed portion is backed by the
full faith and credit of the U.S. government and poses little risk of loss to
the originating bank. An originating bank does incur loss of the use of the
funds while awaiting payoff from the SBA or other loan collateral. Expense
from the loss of use of the funds is expected to be minimal; however, due to
this new requirement, it is expected that SBA non-accrual loan levels will be
slightly higher.
The following table presents information concerning the nonperforming loans
for the periods ending September 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997, respectively.

At September 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997, the Company's recorded
investments in loans for which an impairment had been recognized totaled
$1,544,000 and $1,410,000, respectively. These amounts were evaluated for
impairment using the fair value of collateral. At September 30, 1998, the
related SFAS No. 114 allowance for credit losses considered impaired was
$121,000. The Company uses the cash basis method of income recognition for
impaired loans. For the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, the
Company did not recognize any income on such loans.

ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES
The allowance for credit losses reflects management's judgment 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 on information currently available to analyze
credit loss potential, including: (a) the loan portfolio growth in the
period, (b) a comprehensive grading and review of new and existing loans
outstanding, (c) actual previous charge-offs, and (d) changes in economic
conditions.
The allowance for credit losses totaled $2,689,000 or 1.86% of total
loans at September 30, 1998, compared to $2,219,000 or 1.71% at December 31,
1997. The increase in allowance for credit losses is the result of additional
provisions for credit losses of $375,000 in the nine months ended September
30, 1998, along with net recoveries of previously charged off loans of
$219,000 less charge-offs of $124,000. Charge-offs as a percentage of average
loans were .12% on an annualized basis through the first nine months of 1998.
Of the Company's $144,300,000 in total loans, approximately $32,000,000 are
guaranteed by the SBA or are guaranteed under the Department of
Agriculture's' B&I program. If the guaranteed portion of these loans were
subtracted from the Company's gross loan portfolio the allowance for credit
losses to non-guaranteed loans was 2.41% at September 30, 1998. It is the
policy of management to maintain the allowance for credit losses at a level
adequate for known and future risks inherent in the loan portfolio. Based on
information currently available to analyze credit loss potential, including
economic factors, overall credit quality, historical delinquency and a
history of actual charge-offs, management believes that the credit loss
provision and allowance is adequate. However, no prediction of the ultimate
level of loans charged-off in future years can be made with any certainty.
Following is a table presenting the activity within the Company's allowance
for credit losses for the period between December 31, 1997 and September 30,
1998.

INVESTMENTS IN REAL ESTATE
The Company's investment in real estate consists of the Bank's
investment of capital and retained earnings in RSC. RSC is a limited partner
in two projects with a total of four model homes remaining for sale. During
the nine months ended September 30, 1998, RSC reduced its net investment in
real estate to $0, from $4,067,000 at December 31, 1997 and $8,636,000 at
September 30, 1997.
The following table represents the condensed financial information relative
to RSC for the periods ended September 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997,
respectively.

FUNDING SOURCES
Deposits represent the Bank's principal source of funds for investment.
Deposits are primarily core deposits in that they are demand, savings, and
time deposits generated from local businesses and individuals. These sources
are considered to be relatively more stable, long-term deposit relationships
thereby enhancing steady growth of the deposit base without major
fluctuations in overall deposit balances. In order to assist in meeting its
funding needs, the Bank maintains federal funds lines with correspondent
banks in addition to using its investment portfolio to raise funds through
repurchase agreements. In addition, the Bank may, from time to time, obtain
additional deposits through the use of brokered time deposits. As of
September 30, 1998, the Bank held no brokered time deposits and had no
borrowings from correspondent banks against its federal funds lines.
The following table presents the composition of the deposit mix for the
period ending September 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997, respectively.

LIQUIDITY
Liquidity management refers to the Bank'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 Bank'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. The Bank maintains a line of
credit with a correspondent bank for up to $5,000,000 available on a
short-term basis and has applied for membership to the Federal Home Loan Bank
("FHLB") which will provide additional borrowing capacity in the future.
Additionally, the Bank generally maintains a portfolio of SBA loans either
available for sale or in its portfolio that could be sold should additional
liquidity be required.
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.
Generally, if assets and liabilities do not reprice simultaneously and in
equal volumes, the potential for such exposure exists. 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. To achieve this goal, the Bank prices the
majority of its interest-bearing liabilities at variable rates. At the same
time, the majority of its interest-earning assets are also priced at variable
rates, the majority of which float with the Prime Rate. This pricing
structure tends to stabilize the net interest margin percentage earned by the
Bank.
The following table sets forth the interest rate sensitivity and
repricing schedule of the Company's interest-earning assets and
interest-bearing liabilities, the interest rate sensitivity gap, the
cumulative interest rate sensitivity gap, and the cumulative interest rate
sensitivity gap ratio.

impact of general interest rate movements on the net interest margin since
the repricing of various categories of assets and liabilities is subject to
competitive pressures. Additionally, this table does not take into
consideration changing balances in forward periods as a result of normal
amortization, principle paydowns, changes in deposit mix or other such
movements of funds as a result of changing interest rate environments.
CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and the FDIC have
adopted risk-based capital guidelines for evaluating the capital adequacy of
bank holding companies and banks. The guidelines are designed to make capital
requirements sensitive to differences in risk profiles among banking
organizations, to take into account off-balance sheet exposures and to aid in
making the definition of bank capital uniform internationally. Under the
guidelines, the Company and the Bank are required to maintain capital equal
to at least 8.0% of its assets and commitments to extend credit, weighted by
risk, of which at least 4.0%, must consist primarily of common equity
(including retained earnings) and the remainder may consist of subordinated
debt, cumulative preferred stock, or a limited amount of loan loss reserves.
Assets, commitments to extend credit and off-balance sheet items are
categorized according to risk and certain assets considered to present less
risk than other permit maintenance of capital at less than the 8% ratio.
The guidelines establish two categories of qualifying capital: Tier 1
capital comprising core capital elements and Tier 2 comprising supplementary
capital requirements. At least one-half of the required capital must be
maintained in the form of Tier 1 capital. Tier 1 capital includes common
shareholder's equity and qualifying perpetual preferred stock less intangible
assets and certain other adjustments. However, no more than 25% of the
Company's total Tier 1 capital may consist of perpetual preferred stock. The
definition of Tier 1 capital for the Bank is the same, except that perpetual
preferred stock may be included only if it is noncumulative. Tier 2 capital
includes, among other items, limited life (and in the case of banks,
cumulative) preferred stock, mandatory convertible securities, subordinated
debt and a limited amount of reserves for credit losses. Effective October 1,
1998 the Board of Governors and other federal bank regulatory agencies
approved including Tier 2 capital up to 45% of the pretax net unrealized
gains on certain available-for-sale equity securities having readily
determinable fair values (i.e. the excess, if any, of fair market value over
the book value or historical cost of the investment security). The federal
regulatory agencies reserve the right to exclude all or a portion of the
unrealized gains upon a determination that the equity securities are not
prudently valued. Unrealized gains and losses on other types of assets, such
as bank premises and available-for-sale debt securities, are not included in
Tier 2 capital, but may be taken into account in the evaluation of overall
capital adequacy and net unrealized losses on available-for-sale equity
securities will continue to be deducted from Tier 1 capital as a cushion
against risk.
The Board of Governors and other federal agencies have adopted a revised
minimum leverage ratio for bank holding companies as a supplement to the
risk-weighted capital guidelines. The old rule established a 3% minimum
leverage standard for well-run banking organizations (bank holding companies
and banks) with diversified risk profiles. Banking organizations which did
not exhibit such characteristics or had greater risk due to significant
growth, among other factors, were required to maintain a minimum leverage
ratio 1% to 2% higher. The old rule did not take into account the
implementation of the market risk capital measure set forth in the federal
regulatory agency capital adequacy guidelines. The revised leverage ratio
establishes a minimum Tier 1 ratio of 3% (Tier 1 capital to total assets) for
the highest rated bank holding companies or those that have implemented the
risk-based capital market risk measure. All other bank holding companies must
maintain a
28
<PAGE>
minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio of 4% higher leverage capital ratios required
for bank holding companies that have significant financial and/or operational
weaknesses, a high risk profile, or are undergoing or anticipating rapid
growth. The old rule remains in effect for banks, however, the federal
regulatory agencies are currently continuing work on a revised leverage rule
for banks.
On December 19, 1991, the President signed the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 ("FDICIA"). The FDICIA, among other
matters, substantially revised 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 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%; (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 (a) growth of assets, (b) payment of interest on subordinated
indebtedness, (c) payment of dividends or other capital distributions, and
(d) 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 be taken in order to, among other matters,
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.
As a condition of the administrative orders issued by the FDIC and CDFI
in 1997, the Company and Bank's Board of Directors, agreed that the Bank
would maintain Tier 1 capital equal to the greater of $14,000,000 or the
equivalent of a Tier 1 capital to average assets ratio of at least 7.0%. With
the termination of the orders in September 1998, these additional capital
conditions were removed.

YEAR 2000 READINESS DISCLOSURE
The inability of most computers, software, and other equipment utilizing
microprocessors to distinguish the year 1900 from the year 2000 poses
substantial risks to all financial institutions including the Company. The
year 2000 problem is pervasive and complex. Virtually every financial
institution, service provider, and vendor will have its computing operations
affected in some way by the rollover of the two-digit year value to 00 if
action is not taken to fix the problem before the year 2000 arrives.
The Company is currently engaged in a five-phase management program that
includes awareness, assessment, renovation, validation, and implementation.
The Company has identified all major applications and systems that may
require modification to ensure "Year 2000 Compliance." As a part of this
process the Company has segregated its various systems and classified them
either as mission critical or non-mission critical. The scope of the project
covers all computer systems including PC and network hardware and software,
and mainframe and mainframe software. It also covers all equipment and other
systems utilized in
30
<PAGE>
bank operations or in the premises from which the Company operates. The first
priority is to make sure all mission critical systems are Y2K ready and that
adequate testing and contingency plans are in place.
The Company utilizes both internal and external resources to implement
its year 2000 project and expects to complete the majority of its efforts by
the end of 1998, leaving adequate time to assess and correct any significant
issues that may materialize. Purchased hardware and software will be
capitalized in accordance with normal policy. Personnel and all other costs
related to the project are being expensed as incurred. Through September 30,
1998. The Company has incurred approximately $50,000 in expense related to
its Y2K efforts and expects to expend approximately $50,000 in additional
expense to complete the project. These expenses have been primarily for
consulting services. The majority of costs associated with new software or
upgraded hardware would have been incurred in the normal course of operations
regardless of the year 2000 issue.
During the quarter ended September 30, 1998, the Company continued to
certify various systems as year 2000 ready. Testing of most mission critical
systems has either been completed or is substantially complete including the
Bank's main customer and accounting software the "Fiserv CBS System". The
Fiserv software has been thoroughly tested by Fiserv and has been certified
by Fiserv as Y2K ready. The Company has completed additional testing of all
components of the software through April 2000 and has detected no Y2K
problems. The Company anticipates completion of testing and the installation
of upgraded software for several ancillary PC based systems by year-end 1998.
Most of these ancillary PC based systems are related to new account or loan
production and could be performed manually using existing forms in a worst
case scenario.
In addition to internal systems, the Company has communicated with its
large borrowers, corporate customers, and major vendors upon which it relies
to determine the extent to which the Company is vulnerable to those third
parties if they fail to resolve their Year 2000 issues. Borrowers or large
deposit customers have been categorized based upon risk and are monitored on
a regular basis. If a borrowing customer is determined to have significant
Y2K exposure that may impair the quality or collectability of its loan,
reserves for potential losses resulting from such Y2K exposures are
established accordingly.
Despite the Company's best efforts, there can be no guarantee that the
systems of other companies on which the Company's systems rely will be
converted on time, or that a failure to convert by another company, or a
conversion that is incompatible with the Company's systems, would not have a
materially adverse effect on the Company. For these reasons the Company has
developed and will continue to refine contingency plans for all mission
critical systems. While the Company fully expects its main customer and
accounting systems to be Y2K ready, external problems such as a major
electrical or telecommunications failure could result in a disruption of
business for the Company and its customers as part of its contingency plans.
The Company has established backup facilities in other geographic regions as
well as various levels of electronic and manual processes and procedures to
continue operation in the event of Y2K problems. Based upon the relative
small size and low volume of transactions processed by the Company, complete
manual operation is, while a last resort, a realistic option that is
available to the Company.
