       NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)


1)   All adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) which, in 
     the opinion of Management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the 
     Company's financial position at September 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995 
     and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the three month 
     and nine month periods ended September 30, 1996 and 1995 have been 
     included.  The results of operations and cash flows for the periods
     presented are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year.

2)   The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared on a 
     basis consistent with the accounting principles and policies reflected in 
     the Company's annual report for the year ended December 31, 1995.  

3)   Net income per share for the three and nine month periods ended 
     September 30, 1996 and 1995 was computed by dividing net income by the 
     weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the 
     periods, including the dilutive effects of stock options, if material.  
     The weighted average number of common and equivalent shares outstanding 
     for the nine month periods ended September 30, 1996 and 1995 was 
     1,214,788 and 1,167,389, respectively.  The weighted average number of 
     common and equivalent shares outstanding for  the third quarters of 1996 
     and 1995 was 1,220,296 and 1,197,193, respectively.

4)   The provision for income taxes for the periods presented is based on a 
     projected tax rate for the entire year.  The Company's effective tax rate 
     was 40% and 39% for the nine month periods ended September 30, 1996 and 
     1995, respectively.  The Company's effective tax rate was 41% and 40% for 
     the third quarters of 1996 and 1995, respectively.

                     BAY COMMERCIAL SERVICES AND SUBSIDIARY
            MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

                  NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 COMPARED TO
                       NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1995

OVERVIEW

Net income of Bay Commercial Services (the "Company") was $862,000 for the 
first nine months of 1996 compared to $755,000 for the first nine months of 
1995.  Net income per share was $0.71 for the 1996 period compared to $0.65 
for the 1995 period. Annualized return on average assets was 1.2% and 1.1% for 
the 1996 and 1995 periods, respectively.  Annualized return on average
shareholders' equity was 12.6% and 11.9% for the 1996 and 1995 periods, 
respectively.  These annualized ratios are not necessarily indicative of 
results for a full year.

Strong loan growth during the 1996 period was a significant factor in the 
$107,000 or 14.2% increase in net income compared to the 1995 period.  Net 
interest income increased $166,000 or 4.4%, principally due to a $9,358,000 or 
18.1% growth in average earning loans during the first nine months of 1996 
compared to the first nine months of 1995.  Noninterest income also increased 
during the 1996 period, up $328,000 or 58.4% over the 1995 period, with the 
largest contribution from a $167,000 increase in gain on sale of loans.  These 
increases in income were partially offset by a $173,000 or 5.3% increase in 
noninterest expenses, a $130,000 credit to the provision for loan losses 
during the 1995 period which was not repeated in the 1996 period, and an 
$84,000 or 17.4% increase in income tax expense.  The increase in noninterest 
expenses was largely attributable to the settlement of a litigation matter 
during the 1996 period.

Total assets were $99,128,000 at September 30, 1996, representing a $6,309,000 
or 6.8% increase over December 31, 1995.  The increase in assets reflected the 
use of funds generated principally from deposit growth of $6,381,000 or 8.0% 
and an increase of $740,000 or 8.4% in total shareholders' equity during the 
period.  The asset mix shifted during the 1996 period as total securities 
declined $2,507,000 or 12.3% while total loans increased $7,627,000 or 13.3% 
and cash and cash equivalents increased $1,419,000 or 12.1%.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

NET INTEREST INCOME

Net interest income, the principal source of the Company's earnings, is the 
amount by which interest and fees generated by interest-earning assets, loans 
and investments, exceed the interest cost of deposits and other interest-
bearing liabilities.  Net interest income is affected by changes in interest 
rates as well as the composition and volume of interest-earning assets and 
interest-bearing liabilities.

















 9

Net interest income of $3,980,000 for the first nine months of 1996 increased 
$166,000 or 4.4% compared to the first nine months of 1995.  The increase 
principally reflected a $4,230,000 or 5.2% growth in average earning assets.  
The net interest margin remained relatively unchanged at 6.31% and 6.33% for 
the 1996 and 1995 periods, respectively.

The growth in average interest-earning assets between the 1996 and 1995 
periods was principally due to growth of $9,358,000 or 18.1% in average 
earning loans.  Average total securities and average overnight funds (federal 
funds sold and securities purchased under repurchase agreements) declined 
$3,845,000 or 16.8% and $1,283,000 or 19.0%, respectively.  The yield on 
average earning assets remained relatively unchanged at 9.07% compared to 
9.11% during the 1995 period.  The positive effects of an increase in the 
proportion of earning assets invested in higher yielding loans, 71.4% for the 
1996 period compared to 63.6% for the 1995 period, were offset by the lower 
overall lending and money market rates during the 1996 period.

Average interest-bearing liabilities increased $2,209,000 or 3.9% between the 
1996 and 1995 periods.  The average rate paid for interest-bearing liabilities 
remained relatively unchanged at 4.09% for the 1996 period compared to 4.02% 
for the 1995 period.  Although the average rates paid by individual deposit 
categories declined during the 1996 period in response to overall lower market 
rates compared to the 1995 period, the composition of the portfolio shifted to 
a larger proportion of higher cost time deposits.   Average time deposits as a 
percentage of average interest-bearing liabilities increased to 53.5% for the 
1996 period from 48.5% for the 1995 period.

INTEREST 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 assets than liabilities reprice in a given period (an 
asset sensitive position), market interest rate changes will be reflected more 
quickly in asset rates.  If interest rates decline, an asset sensitive 
position could adversely affect net interest income.  Alternatively, where 
liabilities reprice more quickly than assets in a given period (a liability 
sensitive position) a decline in market rates could benefit net interest
 income.  The results would reverse if market rates were to increase.

The following table presents the Company's interest rate sensitivity gap 
position at September 30, 1996.  For any given period, the repricing is 
matched when an equal amount of assets and liabilities reprice.  The repricing 
of a fixed rate asset or liability is considered to occur at its contractual 
maturity or, for those assets which are available for sale, within the time 
period during which sale may reasonably be expected to be accomplished.  
Floating rate assets or liabilities are considered to reprice in the period 
during which the rate can contractually change.  Any excess of either assets 
or liabilities in a period results in a gap, or mismatch, shown in the table.  
A positive gap indicates asset sensitivity and a negative gap indicates 
liability sensitivity.

This table presents a static gap, which is a position at a point in time.  It 
does not address the interest rate sensitivity of assets or liabilities which 
would be added through growth, nor does it anticipate the future interest rate 
sensitivity of assets and liabilities once they have repriced, and it assumes 
equivalent elasticity of assets and liabilities.  The interest rate 
sensitivity analysis at September 30, 1996, indicates that the Company, on a 
cumulative gap basis, is liability sensitive over the 3 months or less period 
and the over 3 months to 1 year period and asset sensitive over the remaining 
periods.

PROVISION AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

The Company provides for potential loan losses by a charge to operating income 
based upon the current composition of the loan portfolio, past loan loss 
experience, current and projected economic conditions, an evaluation of the 
risk elements in the loan portfolio and other factors that, in Management's 
judgment, deserve recognition in estimating loan losses.  In addition, various 
regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, 
periodically review the Company's allowance for loan losses.  Such agencies 
may require the Company to make additions to the allowance based on their 
evaluations of information available to them at the time of their examination.  
Management will charge off loans to the allowance when it determines there has 
been a permanent impairment of the related carrying values.

The allowance for loan losses reflects an amount sufficient to cover estimated 
loan losses and is maintained at a level which, in Management's opinion, is 
adequate to absorb potential credit losses inherent in loans, outstanding loan 
commitments and standby letters of credit.

 11

As of September 30, 1996, the allowance for loan losses was $964,000 compared 
to $982,000 at December 31, 1995.  The reduced allowance reflected net loan 
chargeoffs of $18,000 during the first nine months of 1996.  The ratio of the 
allowance for loan losses to total loans was 1.5% at September 30, 1996, and 
1.7% at December 31, 1995.  While Management uses available information to 
provide for losses on loans, future additions to the allowance may be 
necessary based on changes in economic conditions.  Based upon information 
currently available, Management believes that the allowance for loan losses at 
September 30, 1996, is adequate to absorb future possible losses.  However, no 
assurance can be given that the Company may not sustain charge-offs which are 
in excess of the size of the allowance in any given period. Due to the level 
of the allowance in relation to both nonperforming and total outstanding 
loans, no provision for loan losses was made during the first nine months of 
either 1996 or 1995, and the reserve was decreased by a $130,000 credit to the 
provision for loan losses during the second and third quarters of 1995.

Information on nonperforming loans for the nine month periods ended 
September 30, 1996 and 1995 and the year ended December 31, 1995 is summarized 
in the following table.

Total nonperforming loans increased to $438,000 at September 30, 1996 compared 
to $99,000 at December 31, 1995.  There were no nonperforming loans at 
September 30, 1995.  The current ratio of nonperforming loans to total loans 
at 0.7% remains well below industry averages.  The loans in this category are 
generally well secured and Management believes they represent a relatively low 
risk of loss.











 12

OTHER REAL ESTATE OWNED

Other real estate owned (OREO) of $41,000 at September 30, 1996, consisted of 
one property.  OREO balances declined $318,000 or 88.6% compared to December 
31, 1995, due to the sale of two OREO properties during the first and third 
quarters of 1996.  OREO consists of real estate acquired as a result of legal 
foreclosure or through receipt of a deed in lieu of foreclosure.  OREO amounts 
are carried at the lower of cost or fair value less estimated disposal costs.  
When the property is acquired, any excess of the loan balance over fair value 
of the property is charged to the allowance for loan losses.  Subsequent 
write-downs, if any, and disposition gains and losses are included in 
noninterest income or noninterest expense.  OREO assets are not being 
depreciated and any rental income is applied against current expenses or the 
recorded balance of the asset.

NONINTEREST INCOME

Total noninterest income of $890,000 for the first nine months of 1996 
increased $328,000 or 58.4% compared to the first nine months of 1995.  The 
greatest change was a $167,000 increase in gain on sale of loans, reflecting a 
larger sale of loans guaranteed by the Small Business Administration ("SBA 
loans") during the first nine months of 1996 compared to the first nine months 
of 1995.  Other noninterest income increased $77,000 or 151% between the 
periods, principally due to the 1996 recovery of prior years' expenses related 
to charged-off loans.  Increases also occurred in bankcard income and in gain 
on sale of OREO, up $36,000 or 24.0% and $34,000 or 44.2%, respectively, over 
1995 figures.  These increases were partially offset by a decrease during the 
1996 period of $38,000 or 27.7% in loan servicing income, principally due to 
SBA loan payoffs.  The Bank experienced increased payoffs of SBA loans during 
the first nine months of 1996 as some borrowers refinanced with aggressively 
priced fixed-rate (non-SBA) loans offered by other lenders.  These payoffs 
caused the Bank's serviced portfolio and, thereby, servicing income to 
decline.  The serviced portfolio may experience additional reductions if 
payoffs continue at a rate in excess of SBA loan sales. 

NONINTEREST EXPENSE

Total noninterest expenses of $3,441,000 for the first nine months of 1996 
increased $173,000 or  5.3% compared to the same period in 1995.  The largest 
factor contributing to the increase in noninterest expenses was a $101,000 or 
19.8% increase in other noninterest expense, principally attributable to the 
settlement of a litigation matter.  Salaries and employee benefits increased 
$66,000 or 3.7%, reflecting higher accruals for bonuses and the addition of 
staff in preparation for the opening of a new branch of the Bank during the 
fourth quarter of 1996.  Professional fees increased $44,000 or 30.1% 
principally due to increased legal fees.  Bankcard expense increased $32,000 
or 27.4% due to increased merchant bankcard activity.  These increases were 
partially offset by a $79,000 or 97.5% decrease in assessment fees paid to the 
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) resulting from a reduction in 
deposit insurance rates for the Bank Insurance Fund.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

The provision for income tax expense was $567,000 for the first nine months of 
1996 compared to $483,000 for the first nine months of 1995.  The increased 
income tax expense reflected higher taxable income during the 1996 period.  
The effective income tax rates was 40% and 39% for the 1996 and 1995 periods, 
respectively.


                      THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 COMPARED TO
                          THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1995

OVERVIEW

Net income for the Company for the third quarter of 1996 was $367,000 compared 
to $315,000 for the third quarter of 1995.  Net income per share was $0.30 for 
the 1996 quarter compared to $0.26 for the 1995 quarter.  Annualized return on 
average assets was 1.5% and 1.3% for the 1996 and 1995 quarters, respectively.  
Annualized return on average shareholders' equity was 15.5% and 14.3% for the 
1996 and 1995 quarters, respectively.  These annualized ratios are not 
necessarily indicative of results for a full year.

The $52,000 or 16.5% increase in net income for the 1996 quarter compared to 
the 1995 quarter was principally due to an increase of  $220,000 or 123.6% in 
noninterest income and a $50,000 or 3.8% increase in net interest income, 
which were partially offset by an increase of $94,000 or 9.0% in noninterest 
expense, a nonrecurring $80,000 credit to the provision for loan losses during 
the 1995 quarter, and a $44,000 or 21.3% increase in income tax expense.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

NET INTEREST INCOME

Net interest income of $1,362,000 for the third quarter of 1996 increased 
$50,000 or 3.8% compared to the third quarter of 1995.  The increase reflected 
a $5,771,000 or 6.9% growth in average earning assets which was partially 
offset by a decline in the net interest margin to 6.15% for the 1996 quarter 
from 6.26% for the 1995 quarter.

The growth in average interest-earning assets between the 1996 and 1995 
quarters was due to growth of $12,246,000 or 23.7% in average earning loans.  
Average earning loans as a percentage of average earning assets climbed to 
71.6% for the 1996 quarter compared to 61.9% for the 1995 quarter.  The yield 
on average earning assets declined to 8.95% for the 1996 quarter compared to 
9.04% for the 1995 quarter, however, largely due to a 0.5% decline in the 
Bank's prime (reference) rate between the periods.

Average interest-bearing liabilities increased $4,508,000 or 7.7% between the 
1996 and 1995 quarters.  The average rate paid for interest-bearing 
liabilities increased to 4.12% for the 1996 quarter compared to 4.06%
for the 1995 quarter.  The higher average rate paid during the 1996 













 14


quarter reflected a shift in the deposit mix.  The proportion of total 
interest-bearing liabilities that were higher cost time deposits increased to 
53.8% for the 1996 quarter compared to 48.8% for the 1995 quarter.  The 
average rate paid for each deposit category declined during the 1996 quarter 
in response to overall lower market rates compared to the 1995 quarter.

PROVISION AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

Due to reductions in nonperforming loans and recoveries on loans previously 
written off, in addition to the level of the allowance in relation to both 
nonperforming and total outstanding loans, no provision for loan losses was 
made during the third quarter of 1996 and the reserve was decreased by an 
$80,000 credit to the provision for loan losses during the third quarter of 
1995.

NONINTEREST INCOME

Total noninterest income of $398,000 for the third quarter of 1996 was 
$220,000 or 123.6% higher than for the third quarter of 1995.  The most 
significant factors in the increase were a $66,000 increase in gain on sale of 
loans and a $115,000 increase in net gain on sale of OREO.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE
Total noninterest expenses of $1,142,000 for the third quarter of 1996 
increased $94,000 or 9.0% compared to the same quarter in 1995.  The most 
significant changes included a $44,000 or 7.6% increase in salaries and 
employee benefits related to increased accruals for bonuses and additions to 
staff.  Other significant changes included a $38,000 or 79.2% increase in 
professional services, specifically legal fees, and an $18,000 or 45.0% 
increase in bankcard expense, reflecting the increase in merchant bankcard 
activity.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

The provision for income tax expense was $251,000 for the third quarter of 
1996 compared to $207,000 for the third quarter of 1995.  The increased income 
tax expense reflected higher taxable income during the 1996 quarter.  The 
effective income tax rates were 41% and 40% for the 1996 and 1995 quarters, 
respectively.


FINANCIAL CONDITION

LOANS AND INVESTMENTS

Total loans of $65,761,000 at September 30, 1996 increased $7,609,000 or 13.1% 
from December 31, 1995.  Total securities declined $2,507,000 or 12.3% and 
cash and cash equivalents increased $1,419,000 or 12.1% compared to December 
31, 1995.  The loan growth during the 1996 period was principally in fixed 
rate commercial loans, reflecting both the Bank's competitive lending 
environment and Management's intention to diversify the loan portfolio and 
reduce the Bank's asset sensitive position.












 15


DEPOSITS AND OTHER BORROWED FUNDS

Total deposits of $86,634,000 at September 30, 1996 increased $6,381,000 or 
8.0% compared to December 31, 1995.  The greatest growth was experienced in 
time deposits, up $4,916,000 or 17%, and savings and interest-bearing demand, 
which increased $2,708,000 or 11.1% compared to year-end 1995.  Securities 
sold under agreements to repurchase remained relative unchanged at $2,167,000 
at September 30, 1996 compared to $2,203,000 at December 31, 1995.


OTHER ASSETS AND OTHER LIABILITIES

As previously discussed, OREO assets of $41,000 at September 30, 1996, 
declined $318,000 or 88.6% from December 31, 1995.  Interest and fees 
receivable increased $127,000 or 21.2% during the first nine months of 1996, 
reflecting the increased volume of earning assets.  Interest payable and other 
liabilities at September 30, 1996, declined $776,000 or 48.6% from year-end 
1995 due to the payment in 1996 of a cash dividend and income taxes payable.


LIQUIDITY 

Liquidity is defined as the ability of the Company to meet present and future 
obligations either through the sale or maturity of existing assets, or by the 
acquisition of funds through liability management.  The Company manages its 
liquidity to provide adequate funds to support both the borrowing needs of its 
customers and fluctuations in deposit flows.  The Company defines liquid 
assets to include cash and noninterest-bearing deposit balances, federal funds 
sold, all marketable securities less liabilities that are secured by any of 
the securities, and loans held for sale, less any reserve requirements being 
met by any of the above.  Net deposits and short-term liabilities include all 
deposits, federal funds purchased, repurchase agreements and other borrowings 
and debt due in one year or less.  The liquidity ratio is calculated by 
dividing total liquid assets by net deposits and short term liabilities.  The 
Company's liquidity ratio by this measure was 33% at September 30, 1996, and 
41% at December 31, 1995.  It is the opinion of Management that the Company's 
and the Bank's liquidity positions are sufficient to meet their respective 
needs.

In addition, the Bank has informal, non-binding, federal funds borrowing 
arrangements totaling $4,000,000 with two correspondent banks and a $3,000,000 
repurchase facility to meet unforeseen outflows.  As of September 30, 1996,  
no borrowed funds were outstanding on these credit agreements.  As of 
September 30, 1996, the Bank did not carry any brokered deposit balances.

CAPITAL

The Company and the Bank are subject to Federal Reserve Board guidelines and 
regulations of the FDIC governing capital adequacy.  The Federal Reserve 
Board's risk-based and leverage capital guidelines for bank holding companies 
are substantially the same as the FDIC's capital regulations for nonmember 
banks.












 16


The Federal Reserve Board capital guidelines for bank holding companies and 
the FDIC's regulations for nonmember banks set total capital requirements and 
define capital in terms of "core capital elements" (comprising Tier 1 capital) 
and "supplemental capital elements" (comprising Tier 2 capital).  Tier 1 
capital is generally defined as the sum of the core capital elements less 
goodwill, with core capital elements including (i) common stockholders' 
equity; (ii) qualifying noncumulative perpetual preferred stock; and (iii) 
Supplementary capital elements include:  (i) allowance for loan and lease 
losses (which cannot exceed 1.25% of risk weighted assets);  (ii) perpetual 
preferred stock not qualifying as core capital;  (iii) hybrid capital 
instruments and mandatory convertible debt instruments; and (iv) term 
subordinated debt and intermediate-term preferred stock.  The maximum amount 
of supplemental capital elements which qualifies as Tier 2 capital is limited 
to 100% of Tier 1 capital, net of goodwill.

Risk-based capital ratios are calculated with reference to risk-weighted 
assets, including both on and off-balance sheet exposures, which are 
multiplied by certain risk weights assigned by the Federal Reserve Board to 
those assets.  Both bank holding companies and nonmember banks are required to 
maintain a minimum ratio of qualifying total capital to risk-weighted assets 
of 8%, at least one-half of which must be in the form of Tier 1 capital.

The Federal Reserve Board and the FDIC also have established a minimum 
leverage ratio of 3% of Tier 1 capital to total assets for bank holding 
companies and nonmember banks that have received the highest composite 
regulatory rating and are not anticipating or experiencing any significant 
growth.  All other institutions are required to maintain a leverage ratio of 
at least 100 to 200 basis points above the 3% minimum. 

The following tables present the Company's and the Bank's regulatory capital 
positions at September 30, 1996, and average assets over the nine month period
