REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS Redwood Empire Bancorp 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan Santa Rosa, California We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of the Redwood Empire Bancorp 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan as of December 31, 2002 and 2001 and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2002. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2002 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule of assets (held at end of year) is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

REDWOOD EMPIRE BANCORP 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2002 and 2001 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF PLAN The following description of the Redwood Empire Bancorp (the "Company") 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan (the "Plan") is provided for general information purposes only. Participants should refer to the Plan agreement for a more complete description of the Plan's provisions. General: The Plan, established on January 1, 1987, is a defined contribution plan covering eligible employees of the Company. Employees must be 21 years of age and must have completed 90 days of service to be eligible for participation in the Plan. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. Contributions: Each year, participants may contribute up to 15 percent of pretax annual compensation, as defined in the Plan. Participants may also contribute amounts representing distributions from other qualified defined benefit or defined contribution plans. Participants direct the investment of their contributions into various investment options offered by the Plan. The Plan also allows employer matching and non-matching contributions to be made at the discretion of the Company. The method for determining discretionary employer matching contributions for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, is as follows: Employee Percent Employer Contribution Match Contribution First $600 100% $ 600 Next $1,200 75 900 Next $2,500 50 1,250 Next $5,000 25 1,250 Therefore, the maximum employer matching contribution per employee for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 was $4,000. There were no employer non-matching contributions during the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001. Participant Accounts: Each participant's account is credited with the participant's contributions, allocations of the Company's contribution, and investment earnings. Allocation of the Company contribution is based on participants' compensation, as defined in the Plan. Allocation of investment earnings is based on participants' account balances. Forfeited balances of terminated participants' non-vested accounts must first be used to reduce the Plan's administrative costs and any remaining forfeitures are to be allocated to participant accounts as an employer non-elective contribution. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the participant's vested account balance. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 8. NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF PLAN (Continued) Forfeitures: The non-vested portion of terminated participants accounts plus earnings thereon are forfeited and can be used by the Plan to reduce the amount of future expenses incurred by the Plan. At December 31, 2002, forfeited accounts totaled $5,508 which is available to reduce future expense incurred by the Plan. Investment Options: The Plan requires that participant accounts be invested on a self-directed basis in investment products offered by Charles Schwab & Co., Inc., which may include the purchase of the Company's stock. Vesting: Participants are entitled to the full value of their contributions and earnings thereon at any time. The Plan provides for 20% vesting of the participant's interest in the Company's contributions for each year of service (as defined by the Plan). Upon termination of employment due to retirement, death, disability, or separation from service, the vested balances in the participants' accounts will be distributed to the participants or their beneficiaries in a lump sum, equal periodic installments in the form of an annuity, or any combination thereof, at the election of the participant or their beneficiary. Withdrawals: A participant in the Plan may make full or partial withdrawals of funds subject to the provisions of the Plan. Terminated employees may also apply for and receive hardship withdrawals from the Plan. Termination: The Company expects to continue the Plan indefinitely, but reserves the right to amend, suspend or discontinue the Plan in whole or in part at any time by action of the Company's Board of Directors. Upon termination of the Plan, each participant's account would fully vest and be non-forfeitable. Loan Provisions: Participants may borrow from their fund accounts a minimum of $1,000 up to a maximum of $50,000 or 50 percent of their vested account valance, whichever is less. The loans are secured by the balance in the participant's account and bear interest at rates that range from 5.25 percent to 10.50 percent. NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The policies and principles which significantly affect the accounting for net assets and results of operations are summarized below. Basis of Accounting: The accompanying financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting. Cash and Equivalents: Includes cash and money market accounts valued at cost. Investments: Investments are stated at fair value as determined by quoted market prices. Realized gains or losses on the sale of investments are recorded on the trade date as the difference between the proceeds received and the current value of the investments at the beginning of the year or their cost if acquired during the year. Net appreciation (depreciation) in fair value of investments includes net unrealized market appreciation and depreciation, net realized gains and losses on the sale of investments during the period, and is net of investment expenses. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 9. NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Distributions: Distributions to participants are recorded when paid. Use of Estimates: In preparing the financial statements of the Plan, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of net assets available for benefits at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of changes in net assets available for benefits during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. NOTE 3 - INCOME TAXES The Plan has received a favorable determination letter dated November 27, 2001 from the Internal Revenue Service as to its qualified status. The Plan administrator believes that the Plan is being operated in compliance with applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code and the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, and that the trust, which operates with the Plan, is exempt from income tax. NOTE 4 - ADMINISTRATION COSTS In accordance with the Plan, all costs and expenses of administering the Plan are borne by the Company to the extent that the costs and expenses exceed the balance in the forfeiture account, except for expenses paid to the recordkeeper and for commissions on investment transactions which are deducted from participant accounts. NOTE 5 - INVESTMENTS Investments representing more than 5% of the net assets available for benefits at December 31, 2002 and 2001 are as follows: Investments at Quoted Market Value: 2002 2001 ---------------------------------- ---- ---- Redwood Empire Bancorp common stock $ 456,961 $ 441,515 Firsthand Technology Value Fund 155,698 375,529 Schwab S&P 500 Select Fund 393,915 442,223 Schwab Retirement Money Fund 247,439 201,751 Schwab Money Market Fund 218,152 143,660 Strong Corporate Bond Fund 255,419 266,228 Artisan International Fund 193,126 181,235 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 10.
