Item 2.  Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

     On January 5, 1998, the registrant,  through its  wholly-owned  subsidiary,
Valley of the Rogue Bank ("VRB"),  completed the acquisition of Colonial Banking
Company ("Colonial Bank"), an Oregon banking  corporation with principal offices
in Grants Pass,  Oregon.  Prior to the acquisition,  Colonial Bank operated five
branch  offices in  southern  Oregon,  one of which,  in Rogue  River,  is to be
consolidated with VRB's main office.

     Pursuant to a Stock Option Agreement,  dated July 24, 1997, between VRB and
shareholders of Investors Banking Corporation ("IBC"), a registered bank holding
company  and  81%  shareholder  of  Colonial  Bank,  VRB  acquired  all  of  the
outstanding  shares  of IBC.  Following  liquidation  of  IBC,  VRB  effected  a
statutory merger of Colonial Bank into VRB.

     The terms and conditions of the acquisition,  including the  consideration,
were negotiated at arms-length,  and were previously  reported in a registration
statement  on Form S-1  (Commission  file no.  333-37167)  relating  to a public
offering of 1,150,000 shares of the  registrant's  common stock. The proceeds of
the offering  provided  approximately  $8.8 million of the consideration for the
acquisition,   with  the  balance  coming  from  VRB's  other  cash   resources.
Consideration  for the  acquisition  of  Colonial  Bank was  paid in  cash,  and
totalled   approximately   $17.3  million,   including  $12.6  million  paid  to
shareholders  and  holders  of stock  options  of IBC and $3.1  million  paid to
minority shareholders of Colonial Bank. Prior to the closing of the acquisition,
Colonial Bank paid approximately  $1.6 million to cancel outstanding  options to
acquire Colonial Bank stock.
