CALIFORNIA INDEPENDENT BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
Note 1 - Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities
and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). In the opinion of Management, the
unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments
which are necessary to present fairly the financial position of
California Independent Bancorp ("Company") and its subsidiaries at
September 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997, and the results of its
operations for the periods ended September 30, 1998 and 1997,
respectively.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally presented in
annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles have been omitted in accordance with SEC
rules or regulations. The results of operations for the period ended
September 30, 1998, are not necessarily indicative of the operating
results for the full year ending December 31, 1998. It is suggested
that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and notes included in the Company's Annual report
for the year ended December 31, 1997.
Note 2 - Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Company, its wholly owned subsidiary Feather River State Bank ("Bank"),
and the Bank's wholly owned subsidiary EPI Leasing Company Inc.
("EPI"). All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation.
Note 3 - Loans to Directors
In the ordinary course of business, the Company makes loans to
directors of the Company, which on September 30, 1998, amounted to a
total of approximately $5,214,000.
Note 4 - Commitments & Contingent Liabilities
In the normal course of business, there are various outstanding
commitments and contingent liabilities, such as commitments to extend
credit and letters of credit, which are not reflected in the financial
statements. Management does not anticipate any material loss as a
result of these transactions.

<PAGE>
Note 5 - Cash Dividends
In February, May and August of 1997 and 1998, the Company paid an
eleven cent per share cash dividend.
Note 6 - Earnings Per Share
In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (" FASB")
issued SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share," which establishes standards
for computing and presenting earnings per share ("EPS"). It replaced
the presentation of primary EPS with a presentation of basic EPS. It
also required dual presentation of basic and diluted EPS on the face of
the income statement for all entities with complex capital structures
and required reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the
basic EPS computation to the numerator and denominator of the diluted
EPS computation. The statement is effective for financial statements
issued for periods ending after December 15, 1997, and requires
restatement for all periods presented. The implementation of this
statement does not have a material effect on the Company's reported
financial position or net income.
Note 7- Comprehensive Income
In 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income," which requires
companies to report all changes in equity during a period, except those
resulting from investment by owners and distribution to owners. Total
comprehensive income for the nine months ended September 30, 1998, and
September 30, 1997, is $2,433,000 and $611,000, respectively.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
California Independent Bancorp ("CIB," and with its subsidiaries the "Company")
is a financial institution holding company headquartered in Yuba City,
California. CIB has one subsidiary, Feather River State Bank ("Bank") which
operates as a California state chartered commercial bank. The Bank has one
wholly owned subsidiary, EPI Leasing Company Inc. ("EPI"), a equipment leasing
company located in Citrus Heights, California.
Certain statements in this Form 10-Q quarterly report include forward-looking
information within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
Such statements are subject to the 'safe harbor' provisions created by those
sections. These forward-looking statements involve certain risks and
uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in
the forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are
not limited to, the following factors: competitive pressure in the banking
industry; changes in the interest rate environment; general economic conditions,
either nationally or regionally, are less favorable than expected, resulting in,
among other things, a deterioration in credit quality and an increase in the
provision for possible loan losses; changes in the regulatory environment; and
changes in business conditions, volatility of rate sensitive deposits,
operational risks including data processing system failures or fraud;
asset/liability matching risks and liquidity risks; and changes in the
securities markets. In addition, such risks and uncertainties include mortgage
banking activities, merchant card processing and concentration of lending
activities. The following sections discuss significant changes and trends in
financial condition, capital resources and liquidity of the Company from
December 31, 1997 to September 31, 1998, and significant changes and trends in
the Company's results of operations for the three and six months ended September
31, 1998, compared to the same period in 1997.
OVERVIEW OF CHANGES IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Net income for the nine month period ending September 30, 1998, was $2,342,000
resulting in diluted earnings of $1.36 per share. This represents a significant
increase over the same period in 1997, which saw a net income of $612,000, or
$.32 per share on a diluted basis. The growth in Net Income in 1998 over 1997
can primarily be attributed to a reduction in contributions to the Allowance for
Loan Losses to $1,440,000 in 1998 compared to $3,336,000 for the same period in
1997.
Total assets at September 30, 1998, decreased from the December 31, 1997 total
of 291,530,000 by 4.0% to $279,727,000.
The Company's outstanding net loans were $198,087,000 at September 30, 1998.
This represents an increase of $35,814,000 or 22.1% from the December 31, 1997
amount of $162,273,000. This rise was primarily due to an increase of 58.8% or
$30,527,000 in Real Estate Loans.
The Company's investment portfolio at September 30, 1998, was $47,537,000, or
17.0% of total assets, a decrease from $57,198,000 or 19.6% of total assets at
December 31, 1997. At September 30, 1998, the Company had no overnight Federal
Funds Sold as
9
<PAGE>
compared to $35,600,000 at December 31, 1997. The decrease in Federal Funds Sold
was due to the need to fund an increased seasonal loan demand.
Because of the need to fund the increased seasonal loan demand, the Company had
$10,896,000 in outstanding Federal Funds purchased and other borrowings at
September 30, 1998. The Company had no balances outstanding on these borrowing
lines at December 31, 1997.
Deposits at September 30, 1998, were $242,935,000 compared to $266,931,000 at
December 31, 1997, a decrease of 9.0%.
The total loan-to-deposit ratio was 83.8% at September 30, 1998, compared to
62.9% at December 31, 1997. This increase was the result of normal seasonal
lending cycles of agriculture loans and an increased focus by the Company in
real estate lending.
LOANS
The Company lends primarily to small and medium sized businesses, small to large
sized farmers and consumers within its market area, which is comprised
principally of Sutter, Yuba, Colusa and Yolo counties and secondarily Butte,
Glenn, Sacramento, Placer, Madera and Fresno counties. In addition, The Company
originates commercial and industrial equipment leases through the Bank's
subsidiary EPI, which is headquartered in Citrus Heights.
Due to the seasonal nature of the Company's agricultural lending activities,
outstanding loan balances historically increase during the second and third
quarters of the year and peak during the late third quarter.
The following table illustrates the increase (decrease) in the Company's loan
portfolio for September 30, 1998 over December 31, 1997.

</TABLE>
Total loans outstanding as of September 30, 1998 were $203,612,000 representing
an increase of $35,825,000 or 21.4% over December 31, 1997.
The increase is attributable to two principal events:
1. The Company's real estate loan portfolio increased 58.8% between
December 31, 1997 and September 30, 1998, from $51,959,000 to
$82,486,000. This increase was influenced primarily by a rise in real
estate construction loans. The Company
10
<PAGE>
extends construction loans primarily to builders and developers of
single family houses and individual borrowers. The rise in real estate
construction loans was accredited to the Company's strong business
development efforts and a general increase in residential real estate
activity in the Company's market area. In addition to construction
loans, the Company has also increased its portfolio of term,
residential real estate loans.
2. Agricultural and Commercial loans increased $8,258,000 or 10.4% between
December 31, 1997 and September 30, 1998. Most of this increase
occurred in the agricultural portfolio. The Company provides a wide
range of loan products to farmers and agri-businesses throughout its
trade area. Agricultural loans are reported under the "Commercial Loan"
category in the consolidated balance sheet. The rise is largely a
matter of the timing of the agricultural operating cycle. Many of the
Company's agricultural loans are annual crop production loans.
September 30 is typically a high point in the agricultural credit
cycle. Crops are usually sold during the fourth quarter and the loan
balances are reduced.
The Company's lease portfolio decreased from $33,465,000 on December 31, 1997 to
$30,907,000 on September 30, 1998 representing a decrease of 7.6%. The Company
originates commercial and industrial equipment leases through the Bank's
subsidiary EPI. During the first and third quarters of 1998, the Company elected
to sell several pools of leases as part of its portfolio management strategy.
These lease pool sales resulted in the reduction in lease receivables as of
September 30, 1998 compared to December 31, 1997.
LOAN QUALITY
During the third quarter of 1998, the Company completed a restructuring of the
Bank's loan administration. Loan administration is considered a critical part of
lending operations as this unit is charged with management and oversight of the
loan portfolio. The restructuring involved reassigning certain loan management
duties among existing staff members and hiring additional staff and is intended
to strengthen management's supervision over the loan portfolio.
The Company places loans on nonaccrual status if (1) principal or interest has
been in default for 90 days or more, unless the loan is both well secured and in
the process of collection; (2) payment in full of principal or interest is not
expected; or (3) the financial condition of the borrower has significantly
deteriorated.

</TABLE>
The Company has reduced nonperforming loans by 20% during the past year and by
15% in the first three quarters of 1998. Nonperforming loans comprised 3.2% of
the portfolio on September 30, 1998, which was down from 4.5% of the portfolio
on December 31, 1997 and 4.4% on September 30, 1997.
The Company's nonperforming loans escalated significantly during the first half
of 1997. The increase in nonperforming loans during that period was attributable
to heightened risk exposure in a limited number of large credit relationships.
Since that time, the Company has made a concerted effort to reduce nonperforming
loans. In 1997, management assembled an experienced group of loan collectors to
aggressively collect the troubled loans and recover charged-off loans.
Additionally, a plan was adopted to aggressively reduce the level of
nonperforming and problem loans. This approach has been successful.
The Company devises specific loan resolution plans based upon the circumstances
surrounding the particular credit relationship. Plans are designed to return the
highest dollar amount to the Company in the shortest time while reducing credit
risk exposure. All of the nonperforming loans listed above are in the process of
collection. In terms of specific resolution plans, 27% of these loans
(approximately $1.7 million) have been restructured, 21% of the loans
(approximately $1.3 million) are in the process of collateral liquidation and
52% of the loans (approximately $3.3 million) are currently in an undetermined
status. Management projects additional progress toward the resolution of these
troubled loans during the fourth quarter of 1998. However, due to particular
12
<PAGE>
factors surrounding specific nonperforming loans, Management projects that some
of these credits will require several additional quarters to resolve.
The Company's nonperforming loans are concentrated in two credit relationships
that comprise 64% of the total. One large agricultural credit relationship
comprises 46% of the total. This borrower sustained financial difficulty
stemming from a combination of factors. The debtor is currently in bankruptcy,
which has slowed progress towards ultimate loan resolution. Ongoing negotiations
are occurring in an attempt to restructure the credit. Management anticipates a
conclusion to the restructuring during the fourth quarter of 1998.
The second largest nonaccrual loan, comprising 17% of total nonperforming loans,
is to a real estate developer. The bank financed a subdivision that did not
proceed as scheduled. The borrower has sustained cash flow and solvency
problems. This credit has been restructured under a new development plan.
Progress was made during the second and third quarters of 1998 as the real
estate market improved modestly and the borrower was able to sell certain real
property. According to the terms of the plan, Management expects additional loan
reductions during the fourth quarter of 1998 and/or the first quarter of 1999.
The remaining 36% of the nonperforming loans are distributed amongst the
commercial, agricultural, real estate and lease portfolios. As indicated in the
table above, the Company has sustained an overall decrease in nonaccrual loans
of 11% between December 31, 1997 and September 30, 1998. However, the separate
nonaccrual categories for commercial, real estate and leases actually sustained
increases. Nonaccrual real estate loans increased primarily due to the
reclassification of two loans previously classified as agricultural and now
reported under the real estate category. In addition, the real estate
nonaccruals increased due to a real estate developer with two loans declaring
bankruptcy. The commercial nonaccrual category increased primarily as a result
of the failure of two retail business loan relationships. Finally, Nonaccrual
leases increased due to several bankruptcies and business failures sustained by
lessees.
The Company's Allowance for Loan Loss Reserves totaled $5,525,000 or 2.71% of
gross loans as of September 30, 1998. This amount is compared to $5,514,000 as
of December 31, 1997 and $4,146,000 as of September 30, 1997. The Company uses
the allowance method in providing for possible loan losses. Loan losses are
charged to the allowance for possible loan losses and recoveries are credited to
it. Management believes that the total allowance for loan losses is adequate to
cover potential losses in the loan portfolio. While Management uses available
information to provide for loan losses, future additions to the allowance may be
necessary based on changes in economic conditions and other factors.
Additions to the allowance for loan losses are made by provisions for possible
loan losses. The provision for possible loan losses is charged to operating
expense and is based upon past loan loss experience and estimates of potential
loan losses which, in Management's judgment, deserves current recognition. Other
factors considered by Management include growth, composition and overall quality
of the loan portfolio, review of specific problem loans and current economic
conditions that may affect the borrower's ability to repay the loan. Actual
losses may vary from current estimates. The estimates are reviewed constantly,
and adjustments, as necessary, are charged to operations in the period in which
they become known.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Three and nine months ended September 30, 1998,
compared with
Three and nine months ended September 30, 1997
Net interest income after provision for possible loan losses was $3,432,000 for
the three months ended September 30, 1998 as compared to $3,756,000 for the same
period in 1997. For the nine month period ending September 30,1998, interest
income after provision for possible loan losses was $10,693,000 as compared to
$7,227,000 for the same nine month period in 1997. During the first half of
1997, the Bank chose to increase its allowance for possible loan losses, which
caused the Company's net interest income after provision for possible loan
losses to decrease.
During the three month period ending September 30, 1998, the Company's net
income decreased by $309,000 over the same period in 1997 to $679,000. This
decrease was due to an additional provision for possible loan losses amounting
to $754,000 during the third quarter of 1998. For the nine month period ending
September 30, 1998, net income increased by $1,730,000 over the same period in
1997 to $2,342,000.
Additionally, during the three month period ending September 30, 1998, the
Company realized a 6.4% or $394,000 increase in total interest income for 1998
over 1997. Total Interest Income stood at $6,556,000 in 1998, as compared to the
1997 amount of $6,162,000. During the nine month period the Company recognized a
7.5% or $1,324,000 increase in 1998 over 1997 total interest income, which stood
at $18,863,000 in 1998, as compared to the 1997 amount of $17,539,000. The
growth in total interest income can be attributed to a rise in the balance of
average loans in 1998 over 1997. The increase in 1998 over 1997 amounted to
7.13% and 7.30% for the three and nine month periods, respectively.
The yield on average loans for the three and nine month periods ended September
30, 1998, compared to the same periods in 1997, is set forth in the following

The Company also experienced a decrease in Total Interest Expense of 1.5% or
$36,000, for the three months ending September 30, 1998 over 1997, and 3.5% or
$246,000, for the nine months ending September 30, 1998 over 1997. These
decreases in interest expense
14
<PAGE>
are primarily reflective of the Company's decision to adjust the rates it pays
on deposits to levels consistent with the markets it serves, thereby resulting
in a lower average interest rate paid on its deposits.
Rates and amounts paid on average deposits, including noninterest-bearing
deposits for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1998, compared
to the same periods in 1997, are set forth in the following table:

The Company experienced an increase in Total Other Income of $101,000 or 6.9%
for the three month period and $698,000 or 19.3% for the nine month period ended
September 30, 1998, over the same period in 1997. The growth was primarily due
to increased real estate brokered loan fees amounting to $117,000 or 50.6% for
the three month period, and $322,000 or 64.9% for the nine month period. Both
increases are attributed to an elevated real estate loan volume. Another source
contributing to the growth in Total Other Income was a nine month increase of
$333,000 or 27.2% in Lease Commissions and fees in 1998 over 1997. This increase
can be attributable to a rise in volume in the Company's lease business.
Total Other Expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1998,
were $3,908,000 and $11,256,000, respectively. These figures reflect an increase
of $332,000 and $1,339,000 over the same respective three and nine month
periods. The increases were primarily the result of higher salaries and benefits
expense along with professional and legal fees. Salaries and benefits increased
$130,000 or 6.5% for the three month period and $603,000 or 10.8% for the nine
month periods ending September 30, 1998. Aside from normal salary raises, the
additional expense was due to increased commissions earned as a result of the
higher volume of Real Estate lending and leasing activity. Additionally, during
the third quarter of 1998, the Bank expanded its Loan Administration staff in
order to recognize the increased loan volume and to implement the restructuring
of the department. Legal and professional fees increased $136,000 for the three
month period and $488,000 for the nine month periods ending September 30, 1998,
over the same period in 1997. This rise is attributed to the escalated legal
expense associated with collection and resolution of nonperforming loans.

Applicable income taxes for the three and nine month periods ended September 30,
1998, were $404,000 and $1,406,000 as compared to the September 30, 1997 amounts
of $650,000 and $311,000, respectively.
LIQUIDITY
The Bank's liquid assets consist of cash and due from banks, federal funds sold
and investment securities with maturities of one year or less (exclusive of
pledged securities). Historically, during the first two quarters of each year
the Bank generally has experienced excess liquidity due to the seasonal trends
of the banks agricultural and real estate loan portfolio. The Bank's seasonal
agricultural loan demand tends to challenge the Bank's liquidity position
beginning in the second quarter and continuing into the third quarter of each
year.
The Bank has formal and informal borrowing arrangements with the Federal Reserve
Bank to meet unforeseen deposit outflows or seasonal loan funding demands. The
Bank has also entered into an agreement with Lehman Brothers for a standby
short-term loan
16
<PAGE>
secured by U.S. Government and Agency Obligations in the Bank's investment
portfolio, in order to fund any liquidity needs not met by other sources of
funding as warranted by loan demand. As of September 30, 1998, the Bank had
$10,896,000 outstanding on these lines and had no balances outstanding as of
December 31, 1997.
RATE SENSITIVITY
Interest rate sensitivity is the relationship between market interest rates and
net interest income due to the repricing characteristics of assets and
liabilities. If more liabilities than assets reprice in a given period (a
liability sensitive position), market interest rate changes will be reflected
more quickly in liability rates. If interest rates decline, a liability
sensitive position will benefit net income. Alternatively, where assets reprice
more quickly than liabilities in a given period (an asset sensitive position), a
decline in market rates will have an adverse effect on net interest income.
The Company is subject to considerable competitive pressure in generating
deposits and loans at rates and terms prevailing in the company's market areas.
However, Management's objective is to maintain the stability of the net interest
margin in times of fluctuating interest rates by maintaining an appropriate mix
of interest rate sensitive assets and liabilities. Management does not manage
its interest rate sensitivity to maximize income based on its prediction of
interest rates, but rather to minimize interest rate risk to the Company by
stabilizing the Company's Net Interest Margin in all interest rate environments.
Management has developed a matrix that calculates changes to the Net Interest
Margin in both an increasing rate environment and a decreasing rate environment.
A 200 basis point (2%) shock rate is used for this calculation. The matrix
calculates a one-year Interest Rate Risk taking into consideration the delays in
the timing of repricing based on actual experience.
The one-year Interest Rate Risk ratios at September 30,1998, for an increasing
rate environment and a decreasing rate environment were 11.2% and 25.2%,
respectively. This means that if interest rates go up the Bank's Net Interest
Margin will increase; if interest rates go down it will decrease.
CAPITAL RESOURCES
Total shareholders' equity on September 30, 1998, increased by $1,901,000 to
$23,271,000 over December 31, 1997, total shareholders' equity of $21,370,000.
The Company is subject to capital adequacy guidelines issued by federal
regulators. These guidelines are intended to reflect the degree of risk
associated with both on- and off-balance sheet items.
Financial institutions are expected to comply with a minimum ratio of qualifying
total capital to risk-weighted assets of 8%, at least half of which must be in
Tier 1 Capital. In addition, federal agencies have adopted a minimum leverage
ratio of Tier 1 Capital to total assets of 4%, which is intended to supplement
risk-based capital requirements and to ensure that all financial institutions
continue to maintain a minimum level of core capital.

As can be seen by the following tables, the Company exceeded all regulatory
capital ratios on September 30, 1998, and on December 31, 1997:

DIVIDENDS
Federal and State banking and corporate laws could limit the banks ability to
pay dividends to the Company. The Federal Reserve Board has issued a policy
statement that a bank holding company should not declare or pay a cash dividend
to its shareholders if the dividend would place undue pressure on the capital of
its subsidiary banks or if the dividend could be funded only through additional
borrowings or other arrangements that may adversely affect the financial
position of the holding company. In addition, a bank holding company may not
continue its existing rate of cash dividends on its common stock unless its net
income is sufficient to fully fund each dividend, and its prospective rate of
earnings retention is sufficient to fully fund each dividend and appears
consistent with its capital needs, asset quality and overall financial
condition. As a result of the Bank's disappointing 1997 financial performance
and concerns disclosed during the Bank's December 31, 1997, joint regulatory
examination, the Bank's Board of Directors has passed a resolution which
requires the Bank to seek the written approval of the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation and California Department of Financial Institutions prior to the
payment of any cash dividends.
19
<PAGE>
SUPERVISION AND REGULATION
The Company and the Bank operate in a highly regulated environment and are
subject to supervision and examination by various federal and state regulatory
agencies. The Company, as a bank holding company, is subject to regulation and
supervision by primarily the Federal Reserve, and the Bank, as a
California-chartered commercial bank, is subject to supervision and regulation
by primarily the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") and the
California State Department of Financial Institutions ("DFI"). Federal and
California state laws and regulations govern numerous matters involving both
entities, including maintenance of adequate capital and financial condition,
permissible types, amounts and terms of extensions of credit and investments,
permissible non-banking activities, the level of reserves against deposits, and
restrictions on dividend payments. The federal and state regulatory agencies
possess extensive discretion and powers to prevent or remedy unsafe or unsound
practices or violations of law by banks and bank holding companies. The Company
and the Bank also undergo periodic examinations by one or more of these
regulatory agencies, which may subject them to changes in asset valuations, in
amounts of required loss allowances, and in operating restrictions resulting
from the regulators' judgments based on information available to them at the
time of their examination. The Bank's operations are also subject to a wide
variety of state and federal consumer protection and similar statutes and
regulations. Those and other restrictions limit the manner in which the Company
and the Bank may conduct business and obtain financing. The laws and regulations
to which the Company and the Bank are subject can and do change significantly
from time to time, and such changes could materially affect the Company's
business, financial condition, and operating results.
As a result of the Company's and Bank's disappointing 1997 financial performance
and concerns disclosed during the Bank's December 31, 1997 joint regulatory
examination, the Bank's board of directors has passed a resolution to remedy the
concerns which include: maintaining and, if necessary, retaining qualified
management; maintaining the Bank's Tier 1 leverage capital in such an amount as
to equal or exceed seven percent (7%) of the Bank's FDIC Part 325 total assets
(as of September 30, 1998, the Bank's Tier 1 leverage capital ratio stands at
7.77%); continuing with the diligent implementation of a previously adopted plan
to reduce the level of non-performing and problem loans, and to revise lending
and collection policies and procedures; continuing with the diligent
implementation of a revised operating budget and cost control plan in order to
restore the Bank's prior level of profitability; ensuring that the Bank
maintains an adequate reserve for loan losses; and, requiring the Bank to seek
prior approval of the FDIC and DFI before the payment of any cash dividends. It
is anticipated that, during the fourth quarter, the Company's board of directors
will adopt similar resolutions directed toward the Company.
Additionally, the FDIC and Federal Reserve have notified the Bank and Company
that they have determined that the condition of the Bank and Company are such
that prior approval of the regulatory agencies is necessary before adding or
replacing any member of the boards of directors, employing any person as a
senior executive officer, or changing the responsibilities of any senior
executive officer so that the individual would be assuming a different senior
executive officer position. Finally, due to the Bank's condition, the FDIC is
also restricting the Company's and the Bank's ability to enter into any
contracts to pay or make any golden parachute and indemnification payments to
institution affiliated parties.

YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE
The "Year 2000 issue" has generally been described as the inability of computers
systems, software, and other equipment utilizing microprocessors to distinguish
the year 1900 from the year 2000. The Year 2000 issue poses significant risks
for all businesses, households, and governments and could result in system
failures and miscalculations causing disruptions in normal business and
governmental operations if action is not taken to fix the problem before the
year 2000 arrives.
The Company is currently engaged in a four-phase management program that
includes assessment, renovation, validation, and implementation. To ensure Year
2000 compliance, the Company has identified all major applications and systems
that may require modification. The Company's program includes all computer
systems, including PC and network hardware and software, and mainframe and
mainframe software. The program also covers all equipment and other systems
utilized in the Company and Bank's operations or on the premises from which the
Company and Bank operates.
In addition, the Bank is in the process of communicating with its large
borrowers, customers, and major vendors to determine the Bank's and/or the
Company's vulnerability to those third parties should they fail to resolve their
Year 2000 issues. The responses are being evaluated; however, 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.
The Company's program calls for the utilization of internal and external
resources to implement its Year 2000 project. The Company 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. The purchase of any
necessary 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. To date, the Company has expended approximately $200,000.00 on its
Year 2000 compliance efforts. Management estimates an additional expenditure of
$200,000.00 will be required to complete its program. The majority of these
costs are expected to be incurred during 1998 and are not expected to have a
material impact on the Company's cash flows, results of operations, or financial
condition.
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
SFAS No. 131 - Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related
Information
SFAS No. 131 establishes standards for public business enterprises' reporting of
information about operating segments in annual financial statements. The
Statement requires that the enterprises report selected information concerning
operating segments in interim financial reports issued to shareholders.
Additionally, the Statement establishes requirements for related disclosures
about products, services, geographic areas and major customers.
SFAS No. 131 requires public business enterprises to report a measure of segment
profit or loss, certain specific revenue and expense items, and segment assets.
The Statement further requires reconciliation of total segment revenues, total
segment profit or loss, total segment assets, and other amounts disclosed for
segments to corresponding
21
<PAGE>
amounts in the enterprise's general-purpose financial statements. It requires
that all public business enterprises report information about the revenues
derived from the enterprise's products or services (or groups of similar
products and services), about the countries in which the enterprise earns
revenues and holds assets, and about major customers regardless of whether that
information is used in making operating decisions. However, SFAS No. 131 does
not require an enterprise to report information that is not prepared for
internal use if reporting it would be impracticable.
SFAS No. 131 also requires that a public business enterprise report descriptive
information about the way that the operating segments were determined, the
products and services provided by the operating segments, differences between
the measurements used in reporting segment information and those used in the
enterprise's general purpose financial statements, and changes in the
measurement of segment amounts from period to period.
SFAS No. 131 is effective for financial statements for periods beginning after
December 15, 1997. In the initial year of application, comparative information
for earlier years is to be restated. This statement need not be applied to
interim financial statements in the initial year of its application, but
comparative information for interim periods in the initial year of application
is to be reported in financial statements for interim periods in the second year
of application. The Company has adopted the applicable provisions of SFAS No.
131. Segment disclosures will be presented in the financial statements for the
year ended December 31, 1998.
SFAS No. 133 - Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities
In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS No. 133 establishes accounting and
reporting standards for derivative instruments and for hedging activities. It
requires recognition of all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the
statement of financial condition and the measurement of those instruments at
fair value. Recognition of changes in fair value will be recognized into income
or as a component of other comprehensive income depending upon the type of the
derivative and its related hedge, if any. SFAS No. 133 is effective for the
Company beginning January 1, 2000. The Company is in the process of determining
the impact of SFAS No. 133 on the Company's financial statements, which is not
expected to be material.
