                 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

              For the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995

1.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. See note 1 of the Notes to
     Consolidated Financial Statements in CVB Financial Corp.'s 1995 Annual
     Report. Goodwill resulting from purchase accounting treatment of acquired
     banks is amortized on a straight line basis over 15 years.

     On January 1, 1995, the Bank adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
     Standards ("SFAS") No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a
     Loan," as amended by SFAS No. 118, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment
     of a Loan -- Income Recognition and Disclosures." The adoption of this
     statement did not have a material effect on the results of operations or
     the financial position of the Bank taken as a whole. Impaired loans totaled
     $38.3 million at September 30, 1996. Of this total, $27.0 million, or
     70.50%, represented loans that were supported by collateral with a fair
     market value, net of prior liens, of $40.8 million. At September 30, 1996,
     $11.3 million, or 29.50%, of total impaired loans represented loans for
     which repayment was projected to come from cash flows. The impairment
     amount on these loans was $5.0 million.

2.   Certain reclassifications have been made in the 1995 financial information
     to conform to the presentation used in 1996.

3.   In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into commitments to
     extend credit to its customers. These commitments are not reflected in the
     accompanying consolidated financial statements. As of September 30, 1996,
     the Company had entered into commitments with certain customers amounting
     to $112.4 million compared to $79.4 million at December 31, 1995. Letters
     of credit at September 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995 were $7.8 million and
     $8.9 million, respectively.

4.   The interim consolidated financial statements are unaudited and reflect all
     adjustments and reclassifications which, in the opinion of management, are
     necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations and financial
     condition for the interim period. All adjustments and reclassifications are
     of a normal and recurring nature. Results for the period ending September
     30, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of results which may be expected
     for any other interim period or for the year as a whole.

5.   The actual number of shares outstanding at September 30, 1996 was
     9,058,928. Earnings per share are calculated on the basis of the weighted
     average number of shares outstanding during the quarter plus shares
     issuable upon the assumed exercise of outstanding common stock options. The
     number of shares used in the calculation of earnings per share was
     9,265,882 and 9,360,758 for the nine and three month periods ended
     September 30, 1996 and 9,370,107 and 9,356,005 for the nine and three month
     periods ended September 30, 1995. All 1995 per share information in the
     financial statements and in management's discussion and analysis has been
     restated to give retroactive effect to the 10% stock dividend declared on
     December 20, 1995.
                                        6

6.   Supplemental cash flow information. During the nine-month period ended
     September 30, 1996, loans amounting to $2.7 million were transferred to
     Other Real Estate Owned ("OREO") as a result of foreclosure on the real
     properties held as collateral. OREO sold during the nine-month period ended
     September 30, 1996, amounted to $3.1 million.
                                       7

                      CVB FINANCIAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

     Management's discussion and analysis is written to provide greater insight
into the results of operations and the financial condition of CVB Financial
Corp. and its subsidiaries. Reference should be made to the financial statements
included in this report and in the Company's 1995 annual report for a more
complete understanding of CVB Financial Corp. and its operations.

     Throughout this discussion, "Company" refers to CVB Financial Corp. and its
subsidiaries as a consolidated entity. "CVB" refers to CVB Financial Corp. as
the unconsolidated parent company, and "Bank" refers to Citizens Business Bank.

     On March 29, 1996, the Bank acquired through merger Citizens Commercial
Trust and Savings Bank of Pasadena ("Citizens"). As a result of the merger, the
Bank acquired assets with a market value of approximately $117.5 million, net
loans with a market value of approximately $58.9 million, and deposits with a
market value of approximately $111.7 million. In addition, at December 31, 1995
Citizens held trust assets of approximately $800,000,000 that were not included
on the balance sheet of Citizens.

     As the merger was effective on the evening of the final business day of the
first quarter of 1996, the Bank and Company's earnings for the second and third
quarters of 1996 were impacted by the acquisition, while earnings for the first
quarter of 1996 were not. Coincidental with the merger, the Bank changed its
name to Citizens Business Bank from Chino Valley Bank.

                              RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     The Company reported net earnings of $3.7 million, or $0.39 per share, for
the quarter ended September 30, 1996, compared to net earnings of $3.0 million,
or $0.32 per share, for the quarter ended September 30, 1995. This represented
an increase of $672,000, or 22.53%. For the quarter ended September 30, 1996,
the Company generated an annualized return on average assets of 1.39%, compared
to an annualized return on average assets of 1.46%, for the quarter ended
September 30, 1995. The Company's annualized return on average equity increased
to 17.69%, for the quarter ended September 30, 1996, compared to an annualized
return on average equity of 15.99%, for the quarter ended September 30, 1995.

     Net earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 totaled $9.7
million, or $1.05 per share. This represented an increase of $1.5 million, or
18.83%, over net earnings of $8.2 million, or $0.87 per share, for the nine
months ended September 30, 1995. For the nine months ended September 30, 1996,
the Company's annualized return on average assets was 1.30%, compared to an
annualized return of 1.35%, for the first nine months of 1995. The Company
generated an annualized return on average equity of 15.89%, for the nine months
ended September 30, 1996, compared to an annualized return on average equity of
15.77%, for the nine months ended September 30, 1995.
                                        8

     The Company's return on average assets for 1996 was affected by a lower net
yield on earning assets. However, the assets acquired as a result of the
Citizens merger resulted in a decrease in the ratio of average equity to average
assets for 1996. The increase in the ratio of average assets to equity, resulted
in the increase in the return on average equity for 1996, compared to 1995.

     Pre-tax operating earnings, which exclude the impact of gains or losses on
sale of securities and OREO, the provisions for credit and OREO losses, and the
amount received as settlement for litigation, were $19.7 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 1996. This compared to operating earnings of $16.8
million, for the nine months ended September 30, 1995, representing an increase
of $2.8 million, or 17.08%.

Net Interest Income/Net Interest Margin

     The principal component of the Company's earnings is net interest income,
which is the difference between the interest and fees earned on loans and
investments, and the interest paid on deposits and other borrowings. When net
interest income is expressed as a percentage of average earning assets, the
result is the net interest margin. The net interest spread is the yield on
average earning assets minus the average cost of interest-bearing deposits and
borrowed funds.

     For the quarter ended September 30, 1996, net interest income increased to
$14.0 million, compared to $11.9 million for the quarter ended September 30,
1995. This represented an increase of $2.1 million, or 17.95%. For the nine
months ended September 30, 1996, net interest income totaled $39.3 million. This
represented an increase of $3.7 million, or 10.42%, over net interest income of
$35.6 million for the first nine months of 1995.

     The increases in the Company's net interest income for both the three month
and nine month periods ended September 30, 1996, resulted as increases in the
volume of average earning assets were sufficient to off-set decreases in the
Company's net interest margin. Earning assets averaged $859.8 million for the
first nine months of 1996, compared to an average of $699.2 million for 1995.
This represented an increase of $160.6 million, or 22.97%. The net interest
margin decreased to 6.21% for the quarter ended September 30, 1996, from 6.76%,
for the quarter ended September 30, 1995. For the nine months ended September
30,1996, the Company's net interest margin was 6.15%, compared to a margin of
6.82%, for the same period last year.

     The increase in the volume of average earning assets for 1996 compared to
1995, was primarily the result of the acquisition of Citizens. The decrease in
the net interest margin for 1996, compared to 1995, reflected both a lower yield
on average earning assets and an increased cost of average interest bearing
liabilities.

     Interest income represents interest and fees that the Company earns from
loans and interest on investments. For the quarter ended September 30, 1996, 
interest income totaled $19.5 million. This represented an increase of $3.6 
million, or 22.29%, over interest income of $16.0 million, for the quarter 
ended September 30, 1995. The Company earned interest income of $55.1 million
for the nine months ended September 30, 1996. This represented an increase of
$7.7 million, or 16.17%, from interest income of $47.4 million, for the nine
months ended September 30, 1995.
                                        9

     For both the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 1996,
the increase in interest income reflected the increase in the volume of average
earning assets. The yield on earning assets decreased to 8.64%, for the quarter
ended September 30, 1996, from a yield of 9.09%, for the quarter ended September
30, 1995. Similarly, total yield on earning assets decreased to 8.59%, from
9.07%, for the nine months ended September 30, 1996, and 1995, respectively. The
lower yields on average earning assets reflected generally lower prevailing
market interest rates for 1996 compared to 1995.

     Interest expense totaled $5.5 million, for the quarter ended September 30,
1996. This represented an increase of $1.4 million, or 34.76%, compared to total
interest expense of $4.1 million, for the quarter ended September 30, 1995. For
the nine months ended September 30, 1996, interest expense totaled $15.8
million. This represented an increase of $4.0 million, or 33.53%, over total
interest expense of $11.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1995.

     The increases in interest expense for both the three month and nine month
periods ended September 30, 1996, reflected an increase in the volume of
interest paying liabilities, and an increase in the cost of average interest
bearing liabilities, compared to the same periods last year. For the first nine
months of 1996, interest bearing liabilities averaged $581.5 million. This
represented an increase of $111.0 million, or 23.60%, over average interest
bearing liabilities of $470.5 million for 1995. The cost of average interest
bearing liabilities increased to 3.59% for the quarter ended September 30, 1996,
compared to an average cost of 3.53% for the same period last year. For the nine
months ended September 30, 1996, the cost of average interest bearing
liabilities increased to 3.61%, compared to 3.34%, for the same nine month
period for 1995. The increased cost of interest bearing liabilities primarily
reflected increased regional competition for deposits in 1996.

     Table 1 shows the average balances of assets, liabilities, and
stockholders' equity and the related interest income, expense, and rates for the
nine month periods ended September 30, 1996, and 1995. Rates for tax-preferenced
investments are shown on a taxable equivalent basis using a 34.0% tax rate.
Table 2 summarizes the changes in interest income and interest expense based on
changes in average asset and liability balances (volume) and changes in average
rates (rate). For each category of earning assets and interest-bearing
liabilities, information is provided with respect to changes attributable to (1)
changes in volume (change in volume multiplied by initial rate), (2) changes in
rate (change in rate multiplied by initial volume) and (3) changes in
rate/volume (change in rate multiplied by change in volume).

     The net interest spread and the net interest margin can be affected by the
Company's ability to reprice assets and liabilities as interest rates change. At
September 30, 1996, the Bank's 90 days or less maturity/repricing gap was a
negative $235.3 million, compared to a negative gap of $61.9 million at December
31, 1995. Generally, a negative gap produces a higher net interest margin and
net interest spread when interest rates fall and a lower net interest margin and
net interest spread when interest rates rise. However, as interest rates for
different asset and liability products offered by the Bank respond differently
to changes in interest rates, gap analysis is only a general indicator of
interest rate sensitivity.

Credit Loss Experience

     The Company maintains an allowance for potential credit losses to provide
for potential specific or general loan losses. The allowance is increased by a
provision for credit losses charged against operating results and recoveries on
loans previously charged to the reserve. The allowance is reduced by loan losses
charged to the allowance. The allowance for credit losses totaled $11.4 million
at September 30, 1996. This represented an increase of $1.8 million, or 18.87%,
over the allowance for credit losses of $9.6 million at December 31, 1995. As a
percent of gross loans, the allowance for credit losses increased to 2.0%, at
September 30, 1996, compared to a ratio of 1.9%, at December 31, 1995.

     For the quarter ended September 30, 1996, the provision for loan losses was
$515,000. There was no provision for credit losses for the quarter ended
September 30, 1995. For the nine months ended September 30, 1996, the provision
for loan losses totaled $2.2 million. This represented an increase of $583,000,
or 37.02%, over the provision for credit losses of $1.6 million, for the nine
months ended September 30, 1995.

     For the quarter ended September 30, 1996, net loans charged to the
allowance were $619,000. This represented an increase of $315,000, or 103.6%,
over net loans charged to the allowance of $304,000 for the quarter ended
September 30, 1995. For the nine months ended September 30, 1996, loans charged
to the allowance for credit losses, net of recoveries totaled $1.1 million,
compared to net loans charged to the allowance for credit losses of $2.5 million
for the nine months ended September 30, 1995.

     Nonperforming assets, which includes loans on nonaccrual, restructured
loans, and other real estate owned, decreased to $28.4 million at September 30,
1996. This represented a decrease of $6.7 million, or 18.97%, from nonperforming
assets of $35.1 million at December 31, 1995. The decrease is a result of a
reduction in restructured loans and OREO. Nonaccrual loans totaled $16.5 million
at September 30, 1996. This represented an increase $3.2 million, or 23.8%, over
total nonaccrual loans of $13.3 million at December 31, 1995.

     Table 6 presents nonperforming assets (nonaccrual loans, loans 90 days or
more past due, restructured loans, and other real estate owned) as of September
30, 1996, and December 31, 1995.

     The Company has adopted the methods prescribed by Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 114 for calculating the fair value of specific
loans for which the eventual collection of all principal and interest is
determined to be impaired. At September 30, 1996, impaired loans totaled $38.3
million. Of this total, $27.0 million, or 70.50%, were considered collateral
dependent, with collateral values of approximately $40.8 million. At September
30, 1996, $11.3 million, or 29.50%, of total impaired loans represented loans
for which repayment was projected to come from cash flows. The impairment amount
on these loans was $5.0 million.

     While management believes that the allowance was adequate to absorb losses
from any known or inherent risks in the portfolio, no assurance can be given
that economic conditions which adversely affect the Company's service areas or
other circumstances will not be reflected in increased provisions or credit
losses in the future. Table 3 shows comparative information on net credit
losses, provisions for credit losses, and the allowance for credit losses for
the periods indicated.

Other Operating Income

     Other operating income includes revenues earned from sources other than
interest income. These sources include: service charges and fees on deposit
accounts, service charges and fees from trust services, other fee oriented
products and services, gains on sale of securities, gains on the sale of other
real estate owned, gross revenue from Community Trust Deed Services, and for the
nine months ended September 30, 1996, settlement of litigation.

     For the quarter ended September 30, 1996, other operating income totaled
$3.1 million. This represented an increase of $898,000, or 40.11%, over other
operating income of $2.2 million for the quarter ended September 30, 1995.
Contributing to the increase for the quarter ended September 30, 1996, were
service charges and fee income generated by the Bank's new trust division which
was purchased with the acquisition of Citizens.

     For the nine months ended September 30, 1996, other operating income
totaled $10.9 million. This represented an increase of $4.4 million, or 67.02%,
over other operating income of $6.5 million for the nine months ended September
30, 1995. Included as other operating income for 1996 was a $2.1 million
settlement of litigation paid to the Bank in March of 1996. Net of this
settlement, other operating income increased $2.3 million or 34.93%. The
settlement arose from a suit filed by the Bank against a former officer and
director for violation of an agreement not to compete. The litigation, which was
settled in the first quarter of this year, resulted in the $2.1 million payment
to the Bank, from the defendant.

Other Operating Expenses

     Other operating expenses increased to $10.3 million, for the quarter ended
September 30, 1996. This represented an increase of $1.3 million, or 15.00%,
over other operating expenses of $9.0 million, for the quarter ended September
30, 1995. Increases in other operating expenses for the third quarter of 1996
primarily reflected the increased operating expenses associated with the
addition of four new branch offices and the new trust division, resulting from
the acquisition of Citizens. As a percent of average assets, other operating
expenses decreased to 3.92%, for the quarter ended September 30, 1996, compared
to a ratio of 4.40% for the quarter ended September 30, 1995. As a percent of
net revenue, operating expenses decreased to 60.26% for the quarter ended
September 30, 1996, compared to a ratio of 63.65%, for the same period last
year.

     For the nine months ended September 30, 1996, other operating expenses
totaled $31.4 million. This represented an increase of $4.8 million, or 18.20%,
over other operating expenses of $26.6 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1995.

     For the nine months ended September 30, 1996, salaries and related expenses
totaled $14.7 million. This represented an increase of $2.4 million, or 19.14%,
over salaries and related expenses of $12.4 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1995. The increase was a primarily a result of increased number of
associates for the additional branches and trust division acquired through the
Citizens' merger.

     Occupancy and equipment expenses totaled $4.7 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 1996. This represented an increase of $692,000, or 17.37%,
from total occupancy and equipment expenses of $4.0 million, for the nine months
ended September 30, 1995. The increase was a primarily a result of additional
branch facilities acquired through the Citizens' merger.
                                       15

     Other expenses increased to $8.9 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996. This represented an increase of $814,000, or 10.03%, over
other expenses of $8.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1995.
Contributing to the increase in other expenses was the amortization of goodwill
and intangibles resulting from the Citizens acquisition which totaled $254,000
for the nine months ended September 30, 1996. For the nine months ended
September 30, 1996, the provision for potential losses on other real estate
owned was $3.1 million. This represented an increase of $1.7 million, or
124.29%, over a provision for losses on other real estate owned of $1.4 million
for the nine months ended September 30, 1995.

                             BALANCE SHEET ANALYSIS

     The Company reported total assets of $1.07 billion at September 30, 1996.
This represented an increase of $131.1 million, or 13.99%, from total assets of
$936.9 million at December 31, 1995. Gross loans totaled $572.2 million at
September 30, 1996, an increase of $66.1 million, or 13.07%, for gross loans of
$506.1 million at December 31, 1995. Total deposits increased to $906.9 million
at September 30, 1996. This represented an increase of $103.4 million, or
12.86%, over total deposits of $803.6 million at December 31, 1995. The
acquisition of Citizens in March of this year, contributed significantly to the
increases in assets, loans and deposits for 1996.

Investment Securities and Debt Securities Available-for-Sale

     The Company reported total investment securities of $366.3 million at
September 30, 1996. This represented an increase of $81.7 million, or 28.69%,
over total investment securities of $284.6 million at December 31, 1995. The
Bank reported no federal funds sold at September 30, 1996, compared to federal
funds sold of $7.0 million at December 31, 1995.

     The Company has adopted SFAS No. 115 "Accounting for Certain Investments in
Debt and Equity Securities". Under the standard, securities "available for sale"
are carried at their market values and changes in the securities' market values,
net of taxes, are recorded to equity capital. Securities "held to maturity" are
carried at amortized cost.

     At September 30, 1996, the unrealized losses on securities available for
sale totaled $2.6 million. This compared to unrealized gains of $517,000, at
December 31, 1995. Note 1 to the financial statements in the Company's 1995
Annual Report discusses in detail the Company's policy for accounting for
investment securities.

     Approximately 60.00% of the Bank's investment portfolio consists of
mortgage backed securities. The average life of these securities can be affected
by changes in interest rates. Underlying mortgages tend to pay-off slower as
interest rates increase, subjecting the portfolio to extension risk. Conversely,
underlying mortgages tend to pay-off faster as interest rates decrease,
subjecting to portfolio to pre-payment risk. Prepayment and extension risk can
affect the yield to maturity on existing securities. In addition, prepayment and
extension risk can affect future yields on the Bank's investment portfolio as
lower yields are generally available when underlying mortgages prepay and higher
yields are generally available when underlying mortgages extend.

available-for-sale, at September 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995.

 </FN>
 
     As set forth in Table 6, nonperforming assets (nonaccrual loans, loans 90
days or more past due, restructured loans, and other real estate owned) totaled
$28.4 million at September 30, 1996. This represented a decrease of $6.7
million, or 18.97%, from nonperforming assets of $35.1 million at December 31,
1995. As a percent of total assets, nonperforming assets decreased to 2.66% at
September 30, 1996, from 3.75% at December 31, 1995. Although management
believes that nonperforming assets are generally well secured and that potential
losses are reflected in the allowance for credit losses, there can be no
assurance that a general deterioration of economic conditions or collateral
values would not result in future credit losses.

Percentage of nonperforming
   assets to total assets                    2.66%               3.75%


     The decrease in nonperforming assets was a result of a decrease in
restructured loans and other real estate owned. Restructured loans decreased to
$6.6 million at September 30, 1996, from $13.5 million at December 31, 1995.
This represented a decrease of $6.9 million, or 51.12%. Other real estate owned
decreased to $5.0 million at September 30, 1996. This represented a decrease of
$3.3 million, or 39.61%, from other real estate owned of $8.3 million at
December 31, 1995. At September 30, 1996, nonaccrual loans were $16.5 million,
an increase of $3.2 million, or 23.80%, from nonaccrual loans of $13.3 million
at December 31, 1995. The majority of nonaccrual loans were collateralized by
real property at September 30, 1996. The estimated ratio of the outstanding loan
balances to the fair values of related collateral (loan-to-value ratio) for
nonaccrual loans at that date ranged from approximately 25% to 90%.

     The Bank has allocated specific reserves to provide for any potential loss
on these loans. Management cannot, however, predict the extent to which the
current economic environment may persist or worsen or the full impact such
environment may have on the Company's loan portfolio.

Deposits and Other Borrowings

     Total deposits increased to $906.9 million at September 30, 1996. This
represented an increase of $103.4 million, or 12.86%, over total deposits of
$803.6 million at December 31, 1995. Deposit relationships assumed as a result
of the acquisition of Citizens contributed to the increase.

     Most of the increase in total deposits was the result of increases in
interest bearing deposits. Noninterest bearing deposits increased $12.5 million,
or 3.75%, to $345.3 million at September 30, 1996, from $332.9 million at
December 31, 1995. Interest bearing deposits increased $90.9 million, or 19.30%,
to $561.6 million at September 30, 1996, from $470.7 million at December 31,
1995. Interest bearing deposits totaled 61.92% of total deposits at September
30, 1996. This compared to a ratio of interest bearing deposits to total
deposits of 58.58% at December 31, 1995.
                                       19

     Historically, at each year end, the Bank's deposit mix is impacted by short
term increases in agricultural related seasonal deposits. Total demand deposits
at December 31, 1995, included approximately $45.0 million of these agriculture
related deposits which normally are withdrawn within the first 60 days of the
new year.

Liquidity

     The 1995 annual report describes in detail the Company's principal sources
of liquidity, liquidity management policy objectives, and methods used to
measure liquidity.

     There are several accepted methods of measuring liquidity. Since the
balance between loans and deposits is integral to liquidity, the Company
monitors its loan-to-deposit ratio (gross loans divided by total deposits) as an
important part of its liquidity management. In general, the closer this ratio is
to 100%, the more reliant an institution becomes on its illiquid loan portfolio
to absorb fluctuations in deposits. At September 30, 1996, the Company's
loan-to-deposit ratio was 63.09%, compared to a ratio of 62.98% at December 31,
1995.

     Another method used to measure liquidity is the liquidity ratio. This ratio
is calculated by dividing the difference between short-term liquid assets
(federal funds sold and investments maturing within one year) and large
liabilities (time deposits over $100,000 maturing within one year, federal funds
purchased, and other borrowed funds) by the sum of loans and long-term
investments. At of September 30, 1996 the liquidity ratio was a negative 13.85%,
compared to a ratio of a negative 13.44% at December 31, 1995. Conceptually,
this shows that the Company was funding 13.85% and 13.44% of its long-term,
illiquid assets with large liabilities at these dates, respectively.

     Cash flows provided by operating activities, primarily interest received,
totaled $12.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 compared to
$13.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1995. Net cash used in
investing activities, primarily purchases of investment securities and
consideration paid in business combinations, totaled $62.9 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 1996, compared to $29.3 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 1995. Cash flows from financing activities totaled $4.5
million for the nine months ended September 30, 1996, compared to $58,000 for
the same period last year. 

Capital Resources

     The Company's equity capital was $84.4 million at September 30, 1996. The
primary source of capital for the Company continues to be the retention of
operating earnings. The Company's 1995 annual report (management's discussion
and analysis and note 13 of the accompanying financial statements) describes the
regulatory capital requirements of the Company and the Bank.
                                       20

     The Bank and the Company are required to meet the risk-based capital
standards set by the respective regulatory authorities. The risk-based capital
standards require the achievement of a minimum ratio of total capital to
risk-weighted assets of 8.0% (of which at least 4.0% must be Tier 1 capital). In
addition, the regulatory institutions require the highest rated institutions to
maintain a minimum leverage ratio of 3.0%. At September 30, 1996 the Bank and
the Company met the minimum risk-based capital ratio and leverage ratio
requirements.

     Table 7 below presents the Company's and the Bank's risk-based and leverage
capital ratios as of September 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995:
