                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 -- ORGANIZATION

The accompanying  financial statements reflect the operations of VRB Bancorp and
its  wholly  owned  subsidiary,  Valley of the  Rogue  Bank  (collectively,  the
"Company").

NOTE 2 -- BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying  unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in  accordance  with  generally  accepted  accounting   principles  for  interim
information,  and in compliance with instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of
Regulation S-X.  Adjustments to the interim financial statements are of a normal
recurring nature and include all adjustments that, in the opinion of management,
are necessary to the fair  presentation of the financial  position and operating
results for the interim periods. The consolidated financial statements should be
read in  conjunction  with  the  consolidated  financial  statements  and  notes
thereto,  together  with  management's  discussion  and  analysis  of  financial
condition  and results of  operations,  contained in the  Company's  1996 Annual
Report  to  Shareholders.  The  operating  results  for the  nine  months  ended
September 30, 1997,  are not  necessarily  indicative of the results that may be
expected  for the entire  fiscal year ending  December  31,  1997,  or any other
future interim period.

NOTE 3 -- ACCOUNTING CHANGES

In February of 1997, the Financial  Accounting  Standards Board issues Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" (SFAS 128) which
is effective for financial  statements  issued for periods ending after December
15, 1997, including interim periods. SFAS No. 128 replaces current standards for
computing and presenting  earnings per share and requires a dual presentation of
basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share excludes dilution
and is computed by  dividing  income  available  to common  shareholders  by the
weighted  average number of common shares  outstanding  for the period.  Diluted
earnings per share  reflect the  potential  dilution  that could occur if common
shares were issued pursuant to the exercise of options under the Company's stock
option plan(s).

Pro forma amounts for basic and diluted earnings per share assuming SFAS 128 had
been in effect are as follows:

Item 2 --  Management's  Discussion  and  Analysis of  Financial  Condition  and
           Results of Operations

Three Months Ended September 30, 1997
The Company's 1997 third quarter earnings totaled $1,013,000, or $.14 per common
share  outstanding.  The results  represented a $134,000 or 15.2%  increase over
1996 third quarter earnings of $879,000, or $.12 per common share outstanding.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 1997
Earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 were  $2,790,000,  or $.39
per share  compared to  $2,446,000,  or $.35 per share for the nine months ended
September  30, 1996.  The  Company's  annualized  return on average  shareholder
equity was 17.41% and 17.61% for the periods  ended  September 30, 1997 and 1996
respectively.  For the same periods,  the Company's annualized return on average
outstanding assets was 2.07% and 2.03%, respectively.

Net Interest Income

Three Months Ended  September 30, 1997
The Company's net interest income for the three months ended September 30, 1997,
after adjusting tax exempt income to reflect a tax equivalent  basis,  increased
$249,000  or 9.5% to  $2,861,000,  compared  to  $2,612,000  for the  comparable
quarter in 1996. The net interest margin (net interest income as a percentage of
net average  earning assets) was 6.68% and 6.89% for the periods ended September
30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 1997
The Company's net interest income after adjusting tax exempt income to reflect a
tax equivalent  basis,  increased  from $7371,000 to $8,318,000,  an increase of

earning assets decreased to 9.11% in 1997 compared to 9.16% in 1996. Loan yields
have declined as the Company's  variable rate loans have repriced at rates below
those prevailing throughout 1996.

Interest-bearing  liabilities averaged  $112,224,000 and $101,868,000 during the
first nine  months of 1997 and 1996,  respectively.  The  average  cost of these
liabilities  decreased slightly to 3.50% in 1997 from $3.51 in 1996. The average
cost of total interest  bearing  liabilities and  non-interest  bearing deposits
declined  to 2.49%  during the first nine  months of 1997 from 2.54%  during the
first nine months of 1996.

Loans

The  Company  provides  a broad  range of  commercial  and real  estate  lending
services.  Credit is extended principally to small to medium sized businesses in
the local area.  Outstanding  loans totaled  $113,162,000 at September 30, 1997,

<PAGE>
representing  a  $13,386,000  or  13.42%  increase  when  compared  to  loans of
$99,776,000 as of December 31, 1996. Loan  commitments,  principally real estate
construction  notes and  commercial  lines of credit,  grew to $20.1  million at
September 30, 1997 compared with  commitments  of $16.2 million at  December 31,
1996.

Reflective  of the Company's  customer  base, as well as trends within the local
economy,  65.29% of the Company's loan portfolio resides in real estate mortgage
loans.  Of the $73.9 million in real estate  mortgage  loans  outstanding  as of
September  30,  1997,  approximately  $49.2  million  were  made  to  commercial
customers  where the collateral for the loans includes the real estate  occupied
by the customers' businesses.  An additional $15.9 million represented loans for
construction and land development.  In total, 88% of loans characterized as real
estate  mortgage loans could be  characterized  as commercial  and  construction
loans that are secured by real estate.

The following  table presents the composition of the Company's loan portfolio at
the dates indicated:

Loan Loss Reserve

The reserve for loan losses  represents  management's  estimate of the Company's
exposure to credit loss when evaluating the asset quality of the loan portfolio.
The reserve is based  primarily on  management's  evaluation of the overall risk
characteristics  of  the  Company's  loan  portfolio,  which  is  influenced  by
nonperforming loans, value of collateral,  general and local economic conditions
and historical loan loss experience.  Management seeks to mitigate credit losses
by  maintaining  strong  underwriting   standards  and  closely  monitoring  the
financial  condition of the borrower.  As of September  30, 1997,  the Company's
loan loss  reserve  was  $1,550,000  and is  believed  to be  adequate to absorb
potential credit losses.

Three Months Ended September 30, 1997
The Company did not record a provision for loan losses in the third  quarters of
1997 or 1996.  Charge-offs totaled $60,000 and $3,000 for the three months ended
September  30,  1997 and 1996,  respectively,  and  recoveries  were  $6,000 and
$5,000, respectively, for the same periods.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 1997
Management  did not adjust the  Company's  loan loss reserve for the nine months
ended  September  30,  1997 or for the  comparable  period in 1996.  Charge-offs
totaled  $107,000  up $82,000  compared  with  charge-offs  of  $25,000  for the
comparable period in 1996.  Recoveries  totaled $25,000 and $11,000 for the nine
month periods ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

Investment Portfolio

Investment  securities are purchased for managing liquidity and generating after
tax profits  consistent with the risk  guidelines  established by management and
the Board of  Directors.  As of September 30, 1997,  the Company's  portfolio of
investment securities (including FHLB stock) totaled $40,905,000,  a decrease of
$499,000 or 1.21% when  compared to the balance of the portfolio at December 31,
1996 of $41,404,000. Investments in federal funds sold totaled $20,000,000 as of
September  30,  1997,  compared to the  $11,300,000  invested as of December 31,
1996.

</TABLE>

Deposits

Deposits are the Company's major source of funds available for lending and other
investment   opportunities.   Deposit   inflows  and  outflows  are   influenced
significantly by general interest rates and market conditions. Substantially all
of the  Company's  depositors  are residents of southern  Oregon.  Deposits have
grown  $10,910,000,  or 7.01%  over the last nine  months to a total  balance of
$166,478,000  as of  September  30,  1997  as  compared  to  total  deposits  of
$155,568,000  as of  December  31,  1996.  The  growth in deposit  accounts  has
primarily been in Money Market and Non-Interest Bearing Checking accounts. These
two categories  have increased 20.6% and 15.2%,  respectively,  when compared to
their  respective  deposit balances as December 31, 1996.  Non-interest  bearing
deposits  continue to be a reliable and substantial  portion of our deposit base
accounting for 28.9% of total deposits at September 30, 1997.

Shareholders' Equity

Shareholder  equity at September  30,1 997 amounted to  $22,048,000  compared to
$20,188,000 at December 31, 1996. The increase in equity  reflects  consolidated
earnings of  $2,790,123  and the  proceeds  from the  exercise of stock  options
(38,726 shares for a total increase of $95,791).  These additions to equity were
partially offset by a change in the value of the "available for sale" portion of
our  investment  portfolio.  The  "unrealized  gain/loss" on this portion of the
portfolio is reflected in shareholder  equity. The current value of this segment
of the  Company's  investment  portfolio  declined  $19,605,  net of  tax,  when
comparing December 31, 1996 to September 30, 1997.

The  Company  is  required  to  maintain  minimum  amounts  of  capital to "risk
weighted" assets, as defined by banking  regulators.  At September 30, 1997, the
Company was required to have Tier 1 and Total  Capital  ratios of 4.0% and 8.0%,
respectively.  The Company's  actual ratios at that date were 15.63% and 16.77%,
respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The  Company  must  maintain  an  adequate  level of  liquidity  to  ensure  the
availability of sufficient funds to support loan growth and deposit withdrawals,
to  satisfy  financial  commitments  ,  and  to  take  advantage  of  investment
opportunities.  With the recent growth in loans and loan commitments, as well as
the impending  acquisition of Colonial  Banking  Company,  management has become
increasingly  conscious of the  importance  of  maintaining a position of strong
liquidity.  As of September 30, 1997, the Company had cash and cash  equivalents
of $29.8  million,  or 15.6% of total  assets.  Additionally,  the Company has a
short term  borrowing  arrangement  with FHLB of Seattle for cash advances up to
approximately $8.5 million.

<PAGE>
Asset-Liability Management and Interest Rate Risk

The principal purpose of  asset-liability  management is to manage the Company's
sources  and  uses of funds to  maximize  net  interest  income  under  changing
interest  rate  conditions.  On a  monthly  basis,  the  Company  evaluates  the
stability of the  Company's  net  interest  margins and capital  position  under
meaningful rate changes.  This includes the calculation of the Company's  "GAP",
the difference  between  repricing assets and repricing  liabilities in specific
time periods. As of September 30, 1997, management's analysis indicated that the
Company's  interest  rate  risk  was  within  acceptable   guidelines  and  that
mismatched positions are short term in nature.

Item 2 -- Changes in Securities and Use of Proceeds

On November 6, 1997,  the Company  commenced an offering of 1,000,000  shares of
its common stock (plus an additional  150,000  shares to cover  over-allotments)
pursuant  to a  registration  statement  on Form  S-1  (Commission  file  number
333-37167) that was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission
on November 5, 1997.  The  managing  underwriter  for the  offering  was Black &
Company, Inc., Portland, Oregon. A total of 1,150,000 shares of common stock was
registered  for sale by the Company at a price to the public of $8.50 per share,
for an aggregate  offering price of $9,775,000.  The offering closed on November
12,  1997 with the sale of  1,000,000  shares,  subject to the  exercise  of the
over-allotment  option which may be exercised by the underwriters any time prior
to  December  5,  1997.  Total  fees and  expenses  payable  by the  Company  in
connection  with the offering are estimated at $845,000,  including  $595,000 in
underwriting  discounts and commissions,  $45,000 for SEC, NASD and Nasdaq Stock
Market  filing  fees  and  blue  sky fees  and  expenses,  $200,000  for  legal,
accounting and printing fees and $5,000 for other expenses.  No fees or expenses
were paid to directors,  officers or holders of more than 10% of the outstanding
shares of the Company. The net proceeds to the Company, estimated at $7,655,000,
will be used in connection  with the  acquisition of Colonial  Banking  Company,
expected to occur in early January, 1998. Pending such use, the net proceeds are
invested in short-term, investment-grade securities.

Item 5 -- Other Information

Effective September 30, 1997, the Company's wholly-owned  subsidiary,  Valley of
the Rogue Bank ("the Bank"),  signed a definitive merger agreement with Colonial
Banking Company ("CBC")  pursuant to which CBC would be merged with and into the
Bank, with the resulting bank continuing under the name and charter of Valley of
the Rogue Bank. The merger is subject to satisfaction  of certain  conditions of
closing,  including regulatory and shareholder approval.  The Bank has agreed to
purchase  all  of the  outstanding  shares  of CBC  stock  for a cash  price  of
approximately  $17.3  million.  The Bank  anticipates  the  merger to take place
effective  early in January  1998.  As of  September  30,  1997,  CBC has $112.9
million in total assets, of which $97.1 million represent outstanding loans. CBC
has five full service branches in Southern Oregon,  as well as a loan production
office in Portland,  Oregon.  Following the merger,  four of CBC's branches will
become branch offices of the Bank, and a fifth branch will be consolidated  into
the Bank's main office in Rogue River, Oregon.
