The results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full year. These unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements, and notes thereto, included in the Company's Annual Report on SEC Form 10KSB for the year ended December 31, 1998. 2) Net income per common share - basic for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 was computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares. Net income per common share - diluted for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares including the dilutive effect of stock options. The weighted average number of outstanding common shares for the six and three month periods ended June 30, 1999 was 1,235,832 and 1,287,401, respectively. The weighted average number of outstanding common shares for the six and three month periods ended June 30, 1998 was 1,080,419 and 1,081,177, respectively. The weighted average number of outstanding common shares including the dilutive effect of stock options for the six and three month periods ended June 30, 1999 was 1,304,997 and 1,315,642, respectively. The weighted average number of outstanding common shares including the dilutive effect of stock options for the six and three months periods ended June 30, 1998 and 1998 was 1,280,350 and 1,280,986, respectively. 3) 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 36% and 35% for the six months periods ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. 4) Comprehensive income includes net income and other comprehensive income. The Company's only source of other comprehensive income is derived from unrealized gains and losses on investment securities available for sale. Reclassification adjustments resulting from gains or losses on investment securities that were realized and included in net income of the current period that also had been included in other comprehensive income as unrealized holding gains or losses in the period in which they arose are excluded from comprehensive income of the current period. The Company's total comprehensive income was $497,000 and $581,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The Company's total comprehensive income was $301,000 and $317,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. 5) In June 1999, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 137, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133". This statement defers the effective date of SFAS No. 133 to fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. The deferral applies to quarterly and annual financial statements. The Company is in the process of determining the impact of adopting SFAS 133, however, the Company currently does not have any derivative instruments and is not involved in any hedging activities. 6) On April 30, 1999 the Company and Greater Bay Bancorp, the parent of Cupertino National Bank, Mid-Peninsula Bank, Peninsula Bank of Commerce, Golden Gate Bank and Bay Area Bank, signed a definintive agreement for a merger between the two companies. The agreement provides for the Company's shareholders to receive approximately 945,000 shares of Greater Bay Bancorp stock subject to certain adjustments based on movements in the price of Greater Bay Bancorp's stock, in a tax-free exchange to be accounted for as a pooling-of-interests. Following the transaction, the shareholders of the Company's will own approximately 7.8% of the combined company's stock. The transaction is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 1999 subject to approval of the transaction by the Company's shareholders and receipt of regulatory approvals.

BAY COMMERCIAL SERVICES AND SUBSIDIARY MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Six months ended June 30, 1999 compared to Six months ended June 30, 1998 OVERVIEW Certain matters discussed in this Management's Discussion and Analysis are forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, among others, (1) significant increases in competitive pressure in the banking industry; (2) changes in the interest rate environment which could reduce margins; (3) general economic conditions, either nationally or regionally, are less favorable than expected, resulting in, among other things, a deterioration in credit quality; (4) changes in the regulatory environment; (5) changes in business conditions and inflation; and (6) changes in securities markets. Therefore, the information set forth in such forward-looking statements should be carefully considered when evaluating the business prospects of Bay Commercial Services (the "Company") and Bay Bank of Commerce (the "Bank"). Net income of the Company was $667,000 for the first six months of 1999 compared to $557,000 for the first six months of 1998. Net income per common share basic was $0.54 for the first six months of 1999 compared to $0.52 for the first six months of 1998. Net income per common share - basic for the 1999 period was impacted by an increase in the weighted average number of common shares - basic to 1,235,832 shares for the 1999 period from 1,080,419 shares for the 1998 period. The increase in the weighted average number of common shares - basic was due to the exercise of stock options during the first six months of 1999. Net income per common share - diluted was $0.51 for the first six months of 1999 compared to $0.44 for the first six months of 1998. The $110,000 or 20% growth in net income for the first six months of 1999 compared to the first six months of 1998 principally reflected higher net interest income for the 1999 period, which was partially offset by increases in noninterest expenses and the provision for loan losses as well as reduced noninterest income compared to the 1998 period. Net interest income for the 1999 period increased $428,000 or 13% compared to the 1998 period due to strong growth in average interest-earning assets. A $168,000 or 6% increase in noninterest expenses in the 1999 period was principally the result of higher salaries and employee benefits expense and other expenses for Year 2000 compliance measures. The provision for loan losses increased $32,000 or 46% compared to the 1998 period. Noninterest income declined $46,000 or 9% in the 1999 period largely due to reduced gain on sale of loans guaranteed by the Small Business Administration ("SBA loans"). Total assets were $150,586,000 at June 30, 1999, representing a $6,384,000 or 4% increase from December 31, 1998. Total deposits of $136,682,000 at June 30, 1999 grew $13,287,000 or 11% from year-end 1998 while securities sold under agreements to repurchase declined $1,144,000 or 85% and other short-term borrowing decreased $7,000,000. Funds from the deposit growth net of the reduction in repurchase agreements and short-term borrowing and a $12,889,000 reduction in securities as of June 30, 1999 were principally invested in loans and cash and cash equivalents. Loans grew $14,763,000 or 16% during the first six months of 1999 and cash and cash equivalents increased $4,098,000 or 45%. 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. Net interest income of $3,613,000 for the first six months of 1999 increased $428,000 or 13% compared to the first six months of 1998. The increase was due to growth of $24,558,000 or 23% in average interest-earning assets. The net yield on average interest-earning assets declined to 5.46% for the 1999 period from 5.91% for the 1998 period. The increase in average interest-earning assets between the 1999 and 1998 periods was principally due to growth of $19,094,000 or 24% in average earning loans and $5,464,000 or 18% in average other investments. The average yield on interest-earning assets declined to 8.18% for the 1999 period compared to 8.98% for the 1998 period. The yield on average earning loans declined to 9.22% from 10.20% for the 1998 period, primarily reflecting the 0.75% drop in the prime lending rate during the second half of 1998. Average earning loans were 73.2% and 72.2% of average interest-earning assets for the 1999 and 1998 periods, respectively. A reduction in the average yield on total securities to 5.39% for the 1999 period from 5.88% for the 1998 period reflected a significant increase in the percentage of the portfolio invested in short-term securities as well as lower overall money market rates for the 1999 period. Average interest-bearing liabilities increased $15,945,000 or 21% between the 1999 and 1998 periods. The average rate paid for interest-bearing liabilities declined to 3.89% for the 1999 period compared to 4.33% for the 1998 period, reflecting a decrease in overall money market and deposit rates between the periods and a slight shift in the composition of the deposit portfolio. The ratio of higher cost time deposits to average total interest-bearing liabilities declined to 55.0% from 56.5% for the 1999 and 1998 periods, respectively. 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), interest rate changes will have a greater effect on earning assets. If interest rates decline, an asset sensitive position could adversely affect net interest income. Alternatively, where more liabilities than assets reprice in a given period (a liability sensitive position) a decline in interest 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 June 30, 1999. 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 held 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.

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 June 30, 1999, indicates that the Company, on a cumulative gap basis, is liability sensitive in the periods "3 months or less" and "Over 3 months to 1 year" and asset sensitive over the remaining time periods. PROVISION AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES The Bank provides for probable loan losses by a charge to operating income based upon the composition of the loan portfolio, past loan loss experience, current economic conditions and other factors which, in management's judgment, deserve recognition in estimating loan losses. Management will charge off loans when it determines there has been a permanent impairment of the related carrying values. The allowance for loan losses is reviewed by management monthly and approved by the Board of Directors at least quarterly. Management attributes general reserves to different types of loans using percentages which are based upon perceived risk associated with the portfolio and underlying collateral, historical loss experience, and vulnerability to changing economic conditions which may affect the collectibility of the loans. Specific allowances are allocated for impaired loans, for loans which have experienced a decline in internal loan grading, and when management believes additional loss exposure exists. Although the allowance for loan losses is allocated to various portfolio segments, it is general in nature and is available for the loan portfolio in its entirety. While management uses available information to recognize losses on loans, future additions to the allowance may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Company's allowance for losses on loans. Such agencies may require the Company to recognize additions to the allowance based on their analysis of information available to them at the time of their examination. The Senior Loan Officer assesses the loan portfolio monthly to determine which loans are specifically identifiable problem credits in order to update the Bank's internal watch list, which tracks all such credits. The Bank's internal Loan Review Examiner grades all new commercial loans and all credits where the total liability equals or exceeds certain thresholds established by management. If either the Senior Loan Officer or the Loan Review Examiner identifies a serious deficiency, the loan is placed on the next quarterly watch list. Management provides a specific reserve allowance for the effects of the problem applicable to each watchlisted credit. When management identifies a generalized risk not evidenced by a specially identifiable loan or portfolio segment as of the evaluation date, management's evaluation of the probable loss exposure concerning this condition will be provided for by adjusting the level of general reserve for this exposure. The provision for loan losses reflects an amount necessary to adjust the allowance for loan losses to 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. As of June 30, 1999, the allowance for loan losses was $1,081,000 compared to $980,000 at December 31, 1998. The increased allowance was a result of a $101,000 provision for loan losses made in the first six months of 1999. The provision for loan losses was $69,000 in the first six months of 1998. Although nonperforming loans dropped slightly from June 30, 1998, (see information on non-performing loans below), strong loan growth, particularly in construction loans, also added additional inherent credit risk which was reflected in the provision.. The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to total loans was 1.0% at June 30, 1999 and 1.1% at December 31, 1998. Based upon information currently available, management believes that the allowance for loan losses at June 30, 1999, 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. At June 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998, the Bank also held California Capital Access Program ("CalCAP") deposits of $282,000 and $203,000, respectively, which CalCAP has pledged to offset any losses on loans in the Bank's CalCAP portfolio. The Bank had a total of $1,851,000 and $1,584,000 in CalCAP loans as of June 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998, respectively. CalCAP is a program authorized by the California Legislature to encourage California financial institutions to make loans to small businesses whose operations affect the state's environment and which may not meet the normal underwriting standards of the financial institution. Information on nonperforming loans for the six month periods ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 and the year ended December 31, 1998 is summarized in the following table. June 30, December 31, June 30, (Dollars in thousands) 1999 1998 1998 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net loan charge-offs --- $(154) $(169) Ratio of net loan charge-offs to average loans --- (0.2)% (0.2)% Nonperforming loans: Nonaccrual $ 27 $ 30 $231 Accruing loans past due 90 days or more --- --- --- Restructured 469 469 469 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------ Total nonperforming loans $496 $499 $700 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------ Ratio of nonperforming loans to total loans 0.5% 0.5% 0.9% Ratio of allowance for loan losses to nonperforming loans 217.9% 196.4% 129% NONINTEREST INCOME Noninterest income declined $46,000 or 9% between the first six months of 1999 and 1998. The largest change was a $64,000 or 73% reduction in gain on sale of loans which was attributable to the sale of a smaller volume of loans during the 1999 period. Other noninterest income declined $14,000 or 47% principally due to the recovery during the 1998 period of income and expenses related to previously charged-off or paid-off loans, which was not repeated in the first six months of 1999. The decreases in noninterest income were partially offset by a $26,000 or 13% increase in bankcard income which reflected increased merchant activity. NONINTEREST EXPENSES Total noninterest expenses of $2,946,000 for the first six months of 1999 increased $168,000 or 6% compared to the first six months of 1998. Salaries and employee benefits rose $79,000 or 5%, principally due to merit increases and performance bonuses associated with loan and deposit growth. Professional services expense for the first six months of 1999 was $22,000 or 32% above the 1998 period, reflecting increased accounting and legal services expense. Other expenses which were higher for the 1999 period included data processing expense, up $27,000 or 16%, and bankcard expense up $17,000 or 10%. Data processing expenses for the 1999 period reflected costs associated with the Bank's Year 2000 efforts as well as increased processing volume associated with the Bank's asset growth. Bankcard expenses grew with increased merchant activity. PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES The provision for income tax expense was $373,000 for the first six months of 1999 compared to $301,000 for the first six months of 1998. The $72,000 or 24% increase in income tax expense reflected the increase in pretax income for the 1999 period. The effective income tax rate was 36% and 35% for the 1999 and 1998 periods, respectively. Three months ended June 30, 1999 compared to Three months ended June 30, 1998 OVERVIEW Net income of the Company was $383,000 for the second quarter of 1999 compared to $303,000 for the second quarter of 1998. Net income per common share - basic was $0.30 and $0.28 for the second quarter of 1999 and 1998, respectively. Net income per common share - diluted was $0.29 and $0.24 for the second quarter of 1999 and 1998, respectively. Net interest income for the second quarter of 1999 increased $247,000 or 15% compared to the 1998 quarter, reflecting strong growth in average interest-earning assets. The increase in net interest income was partially offset by a $72,000 or 5% increase in noninterest expenses, a $40,000 or 15% reduction in noninterest income and a $54,000 or 32% increase in income tax expense. 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. Net interest income of $1,895,000 for the second quarter of 1999 increased $247,000 or 15% compared to the second quarter of 1998. The increase reflected the $23,972,000 or 21% growth in average interest-earning assets. The net interest margin on average interest-earning assets declined to 5.53% for the 1999 quarter from 5.82% for the 1998 quarter. The increase in average interest-earning assets between the 1999 and 1998 quarters was principally due to growth of $22,139,000 or 28% in average earning loans and $8,331,000 or 35% in average total securities. These increases were partially offset by a $6,498,000 or 65% decrease in average federal funds sold and securities purchased under repurchase agreements. The average yield on interest-earning assets for the second quarter of 1999 declined to 8.19% compared to 8.88% for the 1998 quarter. The average yield on earning loans for the 1999 quarter declined to 9.20% from 10.21% for the 1998 quarter while the average ratio of earning loans to interest-earning assets increased to 74.3% from 70.5% for the 1998 quarter. Average interest-bearing liabilities increased $14,617,000 or 18% between the 1999 and 1998 quarters. The average rate paid for interest-bearing liabilities declined to 3.85% for the 1999 quarter compared to 4.32% for the 1998 quarter, reflecting a decrease in overall money market and deposit rates between the quarters. The ratio of time deposits to average total interest-bearing liabilities was little changed at 54.0% for the 1999 quarter compared to 54.3% for the 1998 quarter. NONINTEREST INCOME A $40,000 or 15% reduction in noninterest income for the 1999 quarter compared to the 1998 quarter largely reflected a $55,000 decrease in gain on sale of loans. There were no loans sales during the 1999 quarter. Partially offsetting the reduction in noninterest income, bankcard income rose $14,000 or 13% due to increased merchant activity. NONINTEREST EXPENSES Total noninterest expenses of $1,463,000 for the second quarter of 1999 increased $72,000 or 5% compared to the second quarter of 1998. Salaries and employee benefits rose $44,000 or 6%, principally due to salary increases and higher bonuses associated with loan growth. Data processing expense increased $12,000 or 14% principally due to deposit and loan growth between the quarters. PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES The provision for income tax expense was $221,000 for the second quarter of 1999 compared to $167,000 for the second quarter of 1998. The $54,000 or 32% increase in income tax expense reflected increased taxable income for the 1999 quarter. The effective income tax rate was 37% and 36% for the 1999 and 1998 quarters, respectively. FINANCIAL CONDITION - June 30, 1999 compared to December 31, 1998 CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS, INVESTMENTS AND LOANS Total loans of $107,892,000 at June 30, 1999 increased $14,763,000 or 16% and cash and cash equivalents of $13,175,000 at June 30, 1999 increased $4,098,000 or 45% from December 31, 1998. Funding for these increases was provided by deposit growth of $13,287,000 or 11% and a $12,889,000 or 32% decline in securities as of June 30, 1999. The decline in securities balances as of June 30, 1999 principally reflected maturities of short-term investments. DEPOSITS AND OTHER BORROWED FUNDS Reflecting a continuation of the Bank's strong growth trend, total deposits of $136,682,000 at June 30, 1999 increased $13,287,000 or 11% compared to December 31, 1998. Noninterest-bearing demand deposits grew $5,828,000 or 17% and savings and interest-bearing demand deposits increased $8,706,000 or 23% from December 31, 1998. There were no short-term borrowings outstanding as of June 30, 1999 compared to $7,000,000 at December 31, 1998. Securities sold under agreements to repurchase declined $1,144,000 or 85% during the first six months of 1999. OTHER ASSETS AND OTHER LIABILITIES Interest and fees receivable at June 30, 1999 of $695,000 increased $60,000 or 10% from December 31, 1998 principally due to loan growth. Other assets increased $398,000 or 81%, a portion of which reflected $179,000 in prepaid expenses which were incurred during the 1999 quarter for services related to the pending merger with Greater Bay Bancorp which is expected take place in the fourth quarter of 1999. Additionally, the exercise during the first six months of 1999 of nonqualified stock options resulted in a $186,000 increase in deferred tax assets. Interest payable and other liabilities at June 30, 1999, declined $303,000 or 28% from year-end 1998 principally due to the payment of income taxes during the first six months of 1999 and the application of $159,000 in tax benefits related to the exercise of nonqualified stock options during the period. 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 cash equivalents , all marketable securities with maturities of one year or less, securities available for sale with maturities beyond one year, 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 22% and 30% at June 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998, respectively. The decline in the liquidity ratio at June 30, 1999 reflected the decrease in short-term securities during the first six months of 1999. 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, to meet unforeseen outflows, the Bank has informal, non-binding borrowing arrangements with two correspondent banks, which include federal funds borrowing lines totaling $8,500,000 and a repurchase facility, as well as access to collateralized borrowing capacity of approximately $10,000,000 from the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco. As of June 30, 1999, no borrowed funds were outstanding from these credit facilities. CAPITAL The following tables present the Company's and the Bank's regulatory capital positions at June 30, 1999, and average assets for the second quarter of 1999. RISK BASED CAPITAL RATIO Company Bank (Dollars in thousands) Amount Ratio Amount Ratio - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tier 1 Capital. $13,070 10.1% $12,620 9.8% Tier 1 Capital minimum requirement 5,158 4.0 5,146 4.0 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Excess. $ 7,912 6.1% $ 7,474 5.8% Total Capital $14,151 11.0% $13,701 10.7% Total Capital minimum requirement 10,315 8.0 10,291 8.0 - ---------------------------------------------------------- ------------------- Excess $ 3,836 3.0% $ 3,410 2.7% Risk weighted assets $128,941 $128,639 LEVERAGE RATIO Company Bank (Dollars in thousands) Amount Ratio Amount Ratio - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tier 1 Capital to average total assets $13,070 8.9% $12,620 8.6% Range of minimum leverage 4,432- 3.0- 4,427- 3.0- requirement 7,386 5.0% 7,379 5.0% - ------------------------------------------------------ -------- --------------- Range of excess 5,684- 3.9- 5,241- 3.6- $ 8,638 5.9% $ 8,193 5.6% Average total assets for the second quarter* $147,718 $147,574 (* Average total assets do not include unrealized gains/losses on securities available for sale.) The Company currently does not have any material commitments for capital expenditures, and in the opinion of Management, the Company's and the Bank's capital positions are sufficient to meet their respective needs. INFLATION It is Management's opinion that the effects of inflation on the consolidated financial statements for the periods ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 have not been material. YEAR 2000 READINESS DISCLOSURE The following discussion of the implications of the Year 2000 problem for the Company contains numerous forward-looking statements based on inherently uncertain information. The cost of the project and the date on which the Company plans to complete the internal Year 2000 modifications are based on management's best estimates, which were derived utilizing a number of assumptions of future events including the continued availability of internal and external resources, third party modifications and other factors. However, there can be no guarantee that these estimates will be achieved and actual results could differ. Moreover, although management believes it will be able to make the necessary modifications in advance, there can be no guarantee that failure to modify the systems would not have a material adverse affect on the Company. In addition, the Company places a high degree of reliance on computer systems of third parties, such as customers, suppliers, and other financial and governmental institutions. Although the Company continues to assess the readiness of these third parties and is preparing contingency plans, there can be no guarantees that the failure of any one of these third parties to modify their systems in advance of December 31, 1999 would not have a material adverse affect on the Company. Many computer hardware systems and software programs in use today were developed using a two digit date code to specify the year. As a result many systems and programs that are date sensitive will treat "00" as the year 1900, and not properly recognize the date transition at the year 2000. An additional issue is that 1900 was not a leap year, whereas the year 2000 is. Therefore, some programs may not properly provide for February 29, 2000. The Company initiated its Year 2000 planning in 1997 and has prepared a comprehensive written plan which addresses both internal and external Year 2000 exposure and includes the following phases - Inventory and Assessment, Renovation, Testing and Implementation, and Contingency Planning. Inventory & Assessment The Company completed its inventory and assessment phase during 1997. During this process the Company made a physical inventory of information technology ("IT") systems and non-IT systems at each office location. Additionally, all vendor supplied services were reviewed to identify IT and non-IT Year 2000 issues. The systems examined included hardware and software platforms associated with customer account processing, computer networks and workstations, and telecommunications systems. Although the assessment determined that there was no significant reliance on non-IT technology (that is, equipment with embedded microprocessor controls such as elevators, climate control systems, etc.), it did identify mission critical IT systems, both internal and external that were not Year 2000 compliant. These noncompliant systems included data processing applications provided by third party suppliers, the teller platform at two branch offices of the Bank, and some of the hardware and software elements of the Bank's Wide Area Network ("WAN") computer network. The WAN is a centralized, server based, system that interconnects employees' desktop PC workstations at each location. One additional element of Year 2000 concern has been the Bank's customers. The Bank is reliant on its customers to make the necessary preparations for the Year 2000 so that their business operations will not be interrupted, thus threatening their ability to honor financial commitments. In an ongoing effort to ensure that its customer base is aware of the Year 2000 issue, during the first six months of 1998 the Bank mailed to each commercial account, and included in each commercial account loan and deposit account statement, a letter addressing Year 2000 issues and encouraging the assessment of Year 2000 risk. Year 2000 reference resources for businesses were also provided. As part of its customer Year 2000 assessment, the Bank identified all commercial account borrowing relationships in excess of $100,000. These represented over 200 relationships and approximately 95% of the total borrowings outstanding as of June 30, 1998. Each of these business relationships was analyzed as to its potential for Year 2000 risk and approximately 20% were selected to receive a detailed Year 2000 questionnaire. The questionnaire, requesting additional information on Year 2000 status, was delivered to these selected customers during the third quarter of 1998. The completed questionnaires were analyzed for risk and each borrower was assigned a Year 2000 risk rating. As a result of this analysis, the Bank modified its credit review process and its underwriting criteria to include consideration of Year 2000 issues. Renovation, Testing & Implementation The correction and testing phase of the Company's Year 2000 Plan includes the renovation and/or replacement of all mission critical IT hardware, software and equipment identified as not compliant with the Year 2000. The majority of the internal mission critical renovation centered around the upgrade to the Bank's WAN and teller systems. The installation of the Year 2000 compliant teller system was completed by December 31, 1998. To ensure Year 2000 compliance of its WAN and reduce the administrative overhead of its IT systems, management determined that a complete renovation of the WAN would provide the most cost effective solution. Most of the elements of the Bank's WAN upgrade were completed by December 31, 1998. Due to the overall complexity of this project, however, only a few of the desktop workstations were operational on the new system at that time. As of June 30, 1999 additional users have been converted over, and current projections are for all users to be either converted over to the new system during the remainder of 1999 or, as the pending merger with Greater Bay Bancorp progresses, as discussed below, all systems may be fully converted to the Greater Bay Bancorp systems after the consummation of the merger and during the fourth quarter of 1999. The Bank relies on two primary off-site data processing vendors for mission critical processing of the Bank's customer accounting system and general ledger applications. These vendors identified certain Year 2000 compliance issues and the renovations to these systems were completed by December 31, 1998. Final testing of these systems was completed during the second quarter of 1999. Although no vendors were identified where the inability to be Year 2000 compliant would cause the Company to seek alternative suppliers, the Company has no viable alternatives for some vendors, such as power distribution and local telephone companies. The Year 2000 efforts of these companies continue to be monitored and are part of the Company's contingency plan. As with all financial institutions, the Company places a high degree of reliance on systems of other institutions, including governmental agencies, to settle transactions. In compliance with FFIEC guidelines, the Company has met all testing requirements at or prior to the time such requirements were required to have been met. Costs The majority of the costs associated with the Company's Year 2000 project are for the installation and testing of the components to upgrade the Bank's teller systems and WAN. Included in this project were improved communication connections between offices, higher capacity computer file servers, and operating system upgrades for the entire network. While these investments were not specifically accelerated due to the Company's Year 2000 project, these costs have been included. As of June 30, 1999, and since the inception of the project, the Company had invested approximately $203,000 for capital improvements to the WAN and $60,000 for the teller cash control system and workstations. Other project costs incurred by the Company include staff time devoted to the issue at a cost of approximately $27,000 and outside consulting services of $46,000. It is anticipated that additional costs to the Company for the Year 2000 project will not exceed $10,000. While management believes it has identified and planned for the resolution of the mission critical issues relevant to the Year 2000, no assurance can be given that the Company may not be required to expend significant additional amounts related to the Year 2000 issue. Risks The principal risks associated with the Year 2000 problem primarily fall into three categories. The first risk is that the Company is unable to successfully renovate and/or migrate to Year 2000 compliant systems. The second risk is the disruption of operations due to the failure of third parties. The third is the risk of business interruption among fund providers and fund users which affects their ability to contractually perform. The only risk largely under the Company's control for the Year 2000 project is the identification, renovation and implementation of its internal operations. The Company, like other financial institutions, is heavily dependent upon its computer systems. Reliance on readily available PC-based systems and technology for WAN and desktop workstations has simplified this process to some extent, and management believes its systems are now Year 2000 compliant. Because of the reliance on outside vendors for processing mission critical customer accounting systems, a computer failure of a third party may jeopardize Company operations. How serious this would be depends on the nature and duration of such failures. Because of the complexity, integration and dependence of these outside systems to the Company's operations, switching to another vendor on short notice does not represent a viable option. At this time, management believes that the necessary renovations to these third party systems for Year 2000 compliance have been completed. Another serious impact to Company operations would occur if basic services such as telecommunications, electric power supplies and services provided by other governmental agencies were disrupted. To date definitive public disclosure of the state of readiness among basic infrastructure suppliers has not been generally available. Although inquiries continue, the Company does not yet have the information to estimate the likelihood of significant disruptions among these suppliers. Contingency Planning The Company has developed contingency plans for the Year 2000 including cash reserves, liquidity and operational issues related to systems failures and for reasons that are not presently foreseen. In the event of a failure, these plans outline the steps that will be taken to deal with the situation to minimize the effect on customers and losses to the Company. Although the Company's identified Year 2000 risks are largely concentrated with the ability of third parties to provide services after the year 2000, as we near the end of 1999, the Company is actively monitoring current events, including news report, which may have an immediate impact on its customers and therefore its operations. Apart from the Company's Year 2000 project, federal banking regulators are conducting special examinations of FDIC-insured financial institutions and third party data processors, including suppliers to the Company, to determine whether they are taking necessary steps to prepare for the Year 2000. They are closely monitoring the progress made by these institutions in completing key steps required by their individual Year 2000 plans. The pending merger of the Company and Greater Bay Bancorp, which is expected to occur early in the fourth quarter of 1999, will have some impact on Year 2000 issues at Bay Bank of Commerce. Plans have been formalized for the conversion of the Bank's data processing applications and PC-based wide-area-network ("WAN") to the Greater Bay Bancorp systems prior to year-end 1999. The Company has investigated Greater Bay Bancorp's Year 2000 Plan and the compliance of their computer systems. Based solely on information provided to the Company by Greater Bay Bancorp, the Company believes that Year 2000 testing of Greater Bay's systems was successfully completed by Greater Bay Bancorp and that Greater Bay Bancorp has met the Year 2000 guidelines of the various banking regulatory agencies. The Company's disclosure and announcement herein concerning its Year 2000 planning and programs are intended to constitute "year 2000 readiness disclosures" as defined in the recently-enacted Year 2000 Information and Readiness Disclosure Act (the "Act").
