                   SILICON VALLEY BANCSHARES AND SUBSIDIARIES
               NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accounting and reporting policies of Silicon Valley Bancshares and its
subsidiaries (the "Company") conform with generally accepted accounting
principles and prevailing practices within the banking industry. Certain
reclassifications have been made to the Company's 1999 consolidated financial
statements to conform to the 2000 presentations. Such reclassifications had no
effect on the results of operations or stockholders' equity. The following is a
summary of the significant accounting and reporting policies used in preparing
the interim consolidated financial statements.

NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Silicon Valley Bancshares is a bank holding company whose principal subsidiary
is Silicon Valley Bank (the "Bank"), a California-chartered bank with
headquarters in Santa Clara, California. The Bank maintains regional banking
offices in California, and additionally has loan offices in Arizona, Colorado,
Georgia, Illinois, Massachusetts, Minnesota, North Carolina, Oregon,
Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia, and Washington. The Bank serves emerging growth
and middle-market companies in targeted niches, focusing on the technology and
life sciences industries, while also identifying and capitalizing on
opportunities to serve companies in other industries whose financial services
needs are underserved. Substantially all of the assets, liabilities and earnings
of the Company relate to its investment in the Bank.

CONSOLIDATION

The interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Silicon
Valley Bancshares and those of its wholly owned subsidiaries, the Bank, SVB
Strategic Investors, LLC, SVB Capital I and SVB Leasing Company (inactive).
Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

In the opinion of Management, the interim consolidated financial statements
contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal, recurring adjustments)
necessary to present fairly the Company's consolidated financial position at
June 30, 2000, the results of its operations and cash flows for the three and
six months ended June 30, 2000, and June 30, 1999. The December 31, 1999
consolidated financial statements were derived from audited financial
statements, and certain information and footnote disclosures normally presented
in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been omitted.

The interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with
the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the
Company's 1999 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The results of operations for the
three and six months ended June 30, 2000 may not necessarily be indicative of
the Company's operating results for the full year.


                                       7



BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires Management to make estimates and judgments that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the balance sheet
date and the results of operations for the period. Actual results could differ
from those estimates. A material estimate that is particularly susceptible to
possible change in the near term relates to the determination of the allowance
for loan losses. An estimate of possible changes or range of possible changes
cannot be made.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

Cash and cash equivalents as reported in the interim consolidated statements of
cash flows includes cash on hand, cash balances due from banks, federal funds
sold, and securities purchased under agreement to resell. The cash equivalents
are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and present an insignificant
risk of changes in value due to maturity dates of 90 days or less.

FEDERAL FUNDS SOLD AND SECURITIES PURCHASED UNDER AGREEMENT TO RESELL

Federal funds sold and securities purchased under agreement to resell as
reported in the consolidated balance sheets includes interest-bearing deposits
in other financial institutions of $546,000 and $291,000 at June 30, 2000, and
December 31, 1999, respectively.

NONACCRUAL LOANS

Loans are placed on nonaccrual status when they become 90 days past due as to
principal or interest payments (unless the principal and interest are well
secured and in the process of collection), when the Company has determined,
based upon currently known information, that the timely collection of principal
or interest is doubtful, or when the loans otherwise become impaired under the
provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 114,
"Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan."

When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, the accrued interest is reversed
against interest income and the loan is accounted for on the cash or cost
recovery method thereafter until qualifying for return to accrual status.
Generally, a loan will be returned to accrual status when all delinquent
principal and interest become current in accordance with the terms of the loan
agreement and full collection of the principal appears probable.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company accounts for stock-based employee compensation  arrangements in
accordance  with provisions of Accounting  Principles  Board ("APB") Opinion
No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and complies with the
disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation." Under APB Opinion No. 25, compensation expense is based on the
difference, if any, on the date of the grant, between the fair value of the
Company's stock and the exercise price. The Company accounts for stock issued
to non-employees in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123 and
Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 96-18.

                                       8




SEGMENT REPORTING

Management views the Company as one operating segment, therefore, separate
reporting of financial segment information under SFAS No. 131 is not considered
necessary. Management approaches the Company's principal subsidiary, the Bank,
as one business enterprise which operates in a single economic environment,
since the products and services, types of customers and regulatory environment
all have similar economic characteristics.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 1998, SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities" was issued and was effective for all fiscal years beginning after
June 15, 1999. SFAS No. 133 was subsequently amended by SFAS No. 137,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities--Deferral of the
Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133" and will now be effective for fiscal
years beginning after June 15, 2000, with early adoption permitted. SFAS No.
133, as amended, requires the Company to recognize all derivatives as either
assets or liabilities and measure those instruments at fair value. It further
provides criteria for derivative instruments to be designated as fair value,
cash flow and foreign currency hedges and establishes respective accounting
standards for reporting changes in the fair value of the derivative instruments.
Upon adoption, the Company will be required to adjust hedging instruments to
fair value in the balance sheet and recognize the offsetting gains or losses as
adjustments to be reported in net income or other comprehensive income, as
appropriate. SFAS No. 133, was further amended by SFAS No. 138, "Accounting for
Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities", which primarily
relates to certain foreign-exchange, consolidation, normal purchases and normal
sales derivative issues. The Company has not completed its assessment of the
impact of SFAS No. 133, as amended and SFAS No. 138, on its consolidated
financial position or results of operations. The Company expects to adopt these
statements on January 1, 2001.

2.  EARNINGS PER SHARE

The Company computes net income per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128,
"Earnings per Share." Under the provisions of SFAS No. 128, basic earnings per
share (EPS) excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to
common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding
for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if
financial instruments or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or
converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that
then shared in the earnings of the entity.

The following is a reconciliation of basic EPS to diluted EPS for the three and
six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999.

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
         CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Throughout the following management discussion and analysis when we refer to
"Silicon Valley Bancshares," or "we" or similar words, we intend to include
Silicon Valley Bancshares and its subsidiaries collectively, including Silicon
Valley Bank. When we refer to "Silicon," we are referring only to Silicon Valley
Bancshares.

You should read the following discussion and analysis of financial condition and
results of operations in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements
and supplementary data as presented in Item 1 of this report. This discussion
and analysis includes "forward-looking statements" as that term is used in the
securities laws. All statements regarding our expected financial position,
business and strategies are forward-looking statements. In addition, in this
discussion and analysis the words "anticipates," "believes," "estimates,"
"seeks," "expects," "plans," "intends" and similar expressions, as they relate
to Silicon Valley Bancshares or our management, are intended to identify
forward-looking statements. Although we believe that the expectations reflected
in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, and have based these
expectations on our beliefs as well as our assumptions, such expectations may
prove to be incorrect.

For information with respect to factors that could cause actual results to
differ from the expectations stated in the forward-looking statements, see the

behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by these cautionary statements.
The forward-looking statements included in this filing are made only as of the

Certain reclassifications have been made to our prior years results to conform
with 2000 presentations. Such reclassifications had no effect on our results of
operations or stockholders' equity.

EARNINGS SUMMARY

We reported net income of $33.7 million, or $0.70 per diluted share, for the
second quarter of 2000, compared with net income of $9.0 million, or $0.21 per
diluted share, for the second quarter of 1999. Net income totaled $88.4 million,
or $1.85 per diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2000, versus $16.8
million, or $0.40 per diluted share, for the respective 1999 period. The
annualized return on average assets (ROA) was 2.7% in the second quarter of 2000
versus 0.9% in the second quarter of 1999. The annualized return on average
equity (ROE) for the second quarter of 2000 was 33.1%, compared to 16.0% in the
1999 second quarter. For the first six months of 2000, ROA was 3.6% and ROE was
44.2% versus 0.9% and 15.3%, respectively, for the comparable prior year period.

The increase in net income during the three and six months ended June 30, 2000,
as compared with the prior year respective periods, resulted primarily from
significant growth in both net

                                       12


interest income and noninterest income, partially offset by increases
in the provision for loan losses and in noninterest expense. The major
components of net income and changes in these components are summarized in
the following table for the three and six months ended June 30, 2000 and
1999, and are discussed in more detail below.

NET INTEREST INCOME AND MARGIN

Net interest income is defined as the difference between interest earned,
primarily on loans and investments, and interest paid on funding sources,
primarily deposits. Net interest income is our principal source of revenue. Net
interest margin is defined as the amount of net interest income, on a fully
taxable-equivalent basis, expressed as a percentage of average interest-earning
assets. The average yield earned on interest-earning assets is the amount of
taxable-equivalent interest income expressed as a percentage of average
interest-earning assets. The average rate paid on funding sources is defined as
interest expense as a percentage of average interest-earning assets.

The following tables set forth average assets, liabilities and stockholders'
equity, interest income and interest expense, average yields and rates, and the
composition of our net interest margin for the three and six months ended June
30, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

Net interest income is affected by changes in the amount and mix of
interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, referred to as "volume
change." Net interest income is also affected by changes in yields earned on
interest-earning assets and rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities, referred
to as "rate change." The following table sets forth changes in interest income
and interest expense for each major category of interest-earning assets and
interest-bearing liabilities. The table also reflects the amount of change
attributable to both volume and rate changes for the periods indicated. Because
of the numerous simultaneous volume and rate changes during any period, it is
not possible to allocate such changes between volume and rate. For this table,
changes that are not solely due to either volume or rate are allocated in
proportion to the percentage changes in average volume and average rate. Changes
relating to investments in non-taxable municipal securities are presented on a
fully taxable-equivalent basis using the federal statutory rate of 35% in 2000
and 1999.

Net interest income, on a fully taxable-equivalent basis, totaled $82.9 million
for the second quarter of 2000, an increase of $35.3 million, or 74.2%, from the
$47.6 million total for the second quarter of 1999. The increase in net interest
income was the result of a $26.5 million, or 38.2%, increase in interest income,
combined with a $8.8 million, or 40.0%, decrease in interest expense over the
comparable prior year period.

The $26.5 million increase in interest income for the second quarter of 2000, as
compared to the second quarter of 1999, was the result of a $14.9 million
favorable volume variance and a $11.6 million favorable rate variance. The
favorable volume variance resulted from a $1.0 billion, or 27.0%, increase in
average interest-earning assets over the comparable prior year period. The
increase in average interest-earning assets resulted primarily from strong
growth in our deposits, which increased $876.7 million, or 24.0%, compared to
the second quarter of 1999. The increase in average interest-earning assets was
primarily centered in highly liquid, federal funds sold, securities purchased
under agreement to resell and investment securities, which collectively
increased $1.0 billion.

Average investment securities for the second quarter of 2000 increased $390.1
million, or 24.7%, as compared to the 1999 second quarter, resulting in a $5.9
million favorable volume variance. The aforementioned strong growth in average
deposits exceeded the growth in average loans over

                                       16



the past year, and generated excess funds that were partially invested in U.S.
agency securities, mortgage-backed securities and municipal securities. The
growth in the investment portfolio reflected our actions to continue to increase
as well as further diversify our portfolio of short-term investments in response
to the continuing increase in liquidity.

Average federal funds sold and securities purchased under agreement to resell
increased a combined $630.4 million, or 108.4%, in the second quarter of 2000
over the prior year second quarter, resulting in a $9.3 million favorable volume
variance. This increase was also a result of the aforementioned strong growth in
average deposits during the past year and reflected our actions to continue to
further diversify our portfolio of short-term investments.

Favorable rate variances associated with each component of interest-earning
assets combined to increase interest income by $11.6 million in the second
quarter of 2000, as compared to the respective prior year period. Short-term
market interest rates have increased on an overall basis during the first half
of 2000. As a result of this increase, we earned higher yields during the second
quarter of 2000 on federal funds sold, securities purchased under agreements to
resell and our investment securities, a significant portion of which were
short-term in nature, resulting in a $3.8 million favorable rate variance as
compared to the prior year. The average yield on loans in second quarter 2000
also increased 200 basis points from the respective prior year second quarter,
accounting for the remaining $7.8 million of the total favorable rate variance.
This increase was primarily attributable to a 149 basis point increase in our
weighted average prime rate in the second quarter of 2000 as compared to the
similar prior year period. A significant portion of our loans continues to be
prime rate-based as of June 30, 2000.

The yield on average interest-earning assets increased 70 basis points in the
second quarter of 2000 from the comparable prior year period. This increase
primarily resulted from a rise in the average yield on loans, largely due to an
increase in our prime rate, as well as an increase in short-term market rates,
which resulted in increased yields on federal funds sold and securities
purchased under agreement to resell.

Total interest expense in the 2000 second quarter decreased $8.8 million from
the second quarter of 1999. This decrease was due to a favorable volume variance
of $2.1 million, combined with favorable rate variance of $6.7 million. The
favorable volume variance resulted from a $486.6 million, or 18.3%, decrease in
average interest-bearing liabilities in the second quarter of 2000 as compared
to the second quarter of 1999. This decrease was largely concentrated in our
bonus money market deposit product, which decreased $918.0 million, or 43.7%.
The favorable rate variance largely resulted from a reduction in the average
rate paid on our bonus money market deposit product, from 3.4% in second quarter
1999 to 1.9% in second quarter 2000. The reduction in average rates paid on
interest-bearing liabilities during the second quarter of 2000 as compared to
the similar prior year period was primarily attributable to our lowering the
average rate paid on our bonus money market deposit product by 150 basis points.
We took this action in order to lower total assets and thereby increase our Tier
1 leverage capital ratio. See " Item 2. Capital Resources."

The average cost of funds paid in the second quarter of 2000 was 1.1%, down from
the 2.4% paid in the second quarter of 1999. The decrease in the average cost of
funds was largely due to a decrease of 150 basis points in the average rate paid
on our bonus money market deposit product.

Net interest income, on a fully taxable-equivalent basis, totaled $155.2 million
for the first half of 2000, an increase of $65.5 million, or 73.1%, from the
$89.6 million total for the first half of

                                       17


1999. The increase in net interest income was the result of a $49.1 million,
or 37.1%, increase in interest income, combined with a $16.4 million, or
38.1%, decrease in interest expense over the comparable prior year period.

The $49.1 million increase in interest income for the first half of 2000, as
compared to the first half of 1999, was the result of a $29.2 million favorable
volume variance and a $19.9 million favorable rate variance. The favorable
volume variance resulted from a $989.4 million, or 27.4%, increase in average
interest-earning assets over the comparable prior year period. The increase in
average interest-earning assets resulted from strong growth in our deposits,
which increased $917.6 million, or 26.2%, compared to the first half of 1999.
The increase in average interest-earning assets was primarily centered in highly
liquid, federal funds sold, securities purchased under agreement to resell and
investment securities, which collectively increased $982.8 million.

The yield on average interest-earning assets increased 60 basis points in the
first half of 2000 from the comparable prior year period. This increase
primarily resulted from a rise in the average yield on loans, largely due to an
increase in our prime rate, as well as an increase in short-term market rates,
which resulted in increased yields on federal funds sold and securities
purchased under agreement to resell.

Total interest expense in the 2000 first half decreased $16.4 million from the
first half of 1999. This decrease was due to a favorable volume variance of $2.7
million, combined with a favorable rate variance of $13.7 million. The favorable
volume variance resulted from a $296.7 million, or 11.7%, decrease in average
interest-bearing liabilities in the first half of 2000 as compared to the first
half of 1999. This decrease was largely concentrated in our bonus money market
deposit product, which decreased $673.7 million, or 33.4%, partially offset by
an increase in our time deposit product, which increase $280.5 million, or
167.3%. The favorable rate variance largely resulted from a reduction in the
average rate paid on our bonus money market deposit product, from 3.5% in the
first half 1999 to 2.0% in the first half 2000. The reduction in average rates
paid on interest-bearing liabilities during the first half of 2000 as compared
to the similar prior year period was primarily attributable to our lowering the
average rate paid on our bonus money market deposit product by 150 basis points.
We took this action in order to lower total assets and thereby increase our Tier
1 leverage capital ratio. See "Item 2. Capital Resources."

The average cost of funds paid in the first half of 2000 was 1.2%, down from the
2.4% paid in the first half of 1999. The decrease in the average cost of funds
was largely due to a decrease of 150 basis points in the average rate paid on
our bonus money market deposit product.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES

The provision for loan losses is based on our evaluation of the adequacy of the
existing allowance for loan losses in relation to total loans, and on our
periodic assessment of the inherent and identified risk dynamics of the loan
portfolio resulting from reviews of selected individual loans and loan
commitments.

Our provision for loan losses totaled $11.1 million for the second quarter of
2000, a $0.3 million, or 2.4%, increase compared to the $10.8 million provision
for the second quarter of 1999. The provision for loan losses increased $4.9
million, or 25.9%, to a total of $23.6 million for the first six months of 2000
versus $18.8 million for the comparable 1999 period. See "Financial Condition--
Credit Quality and the Allowance for Loan Losses" for additional related
discussion.

- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total noninterest income                                 $34,595            $6,458          $115,729         $11,711
=====================================================================================================================


Noninterest income increased $28.1 million, or 435.7%, to a total of $34.6
million in the second quarter of 2000 versus $6.5 million in the prior year
second quarter. This increase was largely due to a $15.1 million increase in
income from the disposition of client warrants, combined with a $8.0 million
increase in client investment fees and a $2.6 million increase in investment
gains. Noninterest income totaled $115.7 million for the first six months of
2000, an increase of $104.0 million, or 888.2%, from the $11.7 million in the
comparable 1999 period. This increase was largely due to a $53.6 million
increase in income from the disposition of client warrants, combined with a
$32.4 million increase in investment gains and a $13.4 million increase in
client investment fees.

Income from the disposition of client warrants totaled $16.8 million and $56.1
million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2000, compared to $1.7
million and $2.5 million for the respective 1999 periods. We have historically
obtained rights to acquire stock, in the form of warrants, in certain clients
primarily as part of negotiated credit facilities. The receipt of warrants does
not change the loan covenants or other collateral control techniques we employ
to mitigate the risk of a loan becoming nonperforming. The collateral
requirements on loans with warrants are similar to lending arrangements where
warrants are not obtained. The timing and amount of income from the disposition
of client warrants typically depends upon factors beyond our control, including
the general condition of the public equity markets as well as the merger and
acquisition environment. We therefore cannot predict the timing and amount of
income with any degree of accuracy and it is likely to vary materially from
period to period. During the first half of 2000 and throughout 1999, a portion
of the income from the disposition of client warrants was offset by expenses
related to our efforts to build an infrastructure sufficient to support present
and prospective business activities, and was also offset by increases to the
provision for loan losses in those periods.

We realized $2.2 million and $32.1 million in gains on sale of investment
securities during the three and six months ended June 30, 2000, related to
venture capital fund and direct equity investments.

Client investment fees totaled $8.2 million and $13.9 million in the three and
six months ended June 30, 2000, compared to $0.2 million and $0.5 million in the
similar prior year periods. Prior to June 1999, we only earned client investment
fees on off-balance sheet funds that were invested by clients in investment
securities such as U.S. Treasuries, U.S. agencies and commercial paper.
Beginning in June 1999, we began offering off-balance sheet private label mutual
fund products to clients. We earn fees ranging from 35 to 50 basis points on the
average balance in these products.

                                       19



At June 30, 2000, $10.2 billion in client funds were invested by clients
off-balance sheet, including $7.1 billion in the mutual fund products. The
significant growth in the amount of off-balance sheet client funds was
explained by high levels of client liquidity attributable to a strong inflow
of investment capital into the venture capital community during the past
year. Additionally, growth in off-balance sheet client funds was also
attributable to the expansion of our client base and increased marketing of
off-balance sheet private label mutual fund products.

Letter of credit fees, foreign exchange fees and other trade finance income
totaled $4.7 million in the second quarter of 2000, an increase of $1.2 million,
or 35.1%, from the $3.5 million earned in the second quarter of 1999. For the
first six months of 2000, letter of credit fees, foreign exchange fees and other
trade finance income totaled $8.3 million, an increase of $2.2 million, or
35.5%, compared to the $6.1 million in the first six months of 1999. The growth
reflects a concerted effort by our management to expand the penetration of trade
finance-related products and services among our growing client base, a large
percentage of which provide products and services in international markets.

Deposit service charges totaled $0.9 million for the three months ended June 30,
2000, an increase of $0.2 million, or 28.2%, from the $0.7 million reported in
the second quarter of 1999. For the first six months of 2000 and 1999 deposit
service charges totaled $1.6 million and $1.3 million, respectively. Clients
compensate us for depository services either through earnings credits computed
on their demand deposit balances, or via explicit payments recognized by us as
deposit service charges income.

Other noninterest income largely consists of service-based fee income, and
increased $1.0 million, or 140.3%, to $1.8 million in the second quarter of 2000
from $0.7 million in the second quarter of 1999. For the six months ended June
30, 2000, other noninterest income increased $2.2 million, or 151.7%, to $3.7
million from $1.5 million in the comparable 1999 period. The increase in other
noninterest income was primarily due to corporate finance fees of $0.6 million
and $1.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2000 and a higher
volume of cash management and loan documentation services related to our growing
client base.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE

Noninterest expense in the second quarter of 2000 totaled $49.0 million, a $21.2
million, or 76.3%, increase from the $27.8 million incurred in the comparable
1999 period. Noninterest expense totaled $96.5 million for the first six months
of 2000, an increase of $43.2 million, or 81.0%, over the $53.3 million total
for the comparable 1999 period. We closely monitor our level of noninterest
expense using a variety of financial ratios, including the efficiency ratio. The
efficiency ratio is calculated by dividing the amount of noninterest expense,
excluding costs associated with retention and warrant incentive plans and other
real estate owned, by adjusted revenues, defined as the total of net interest
income and noninterest income, excluding income from the disposition of client
warrants and gains or losses related to sales of investment securities. Our
efficiency ratio for the 2000 second quarter was 47.2% versus 52.9% for the
second quarter of 1999. Our efficiency ratio for the first six months of 2000
was 46.3%, versus 53.7% for the comparable 1999 period. The following table
presents the detail of noninterest expense and the incremental contribution of
each line item to our efficiency ratio:

Compensation and benefits expenses totaled $27.4 million in the second quarter
of 2000, a $12.0 million, or 77.9%, increase over the $15.4 million incurred in
the second quarter of 1999. For the first six months of 2000, compensation and
benefits expenses totaled $51.7 million, an increase of $21.5 million, or 71.0%,
compared to $30.3 million for the comparable 1999 period. The increase in
compensation and benefits expenses was largely the result of an increase in the
number of average full-time equivalent (FTE) personnel we employ, combined with
an increase in performance-based compensation associated with our incentive
bonuses and employee stock

                                       21



ownership plan. Average FTE were 783 and 771 for the three and six months
ended June 30, 2000 versus 618 and 607 for the respective prior year periods.
The increase in FTE personnel was primarily due to a combination of our
efforts to develop and support new markets through geographic expansion, to
develop and expand products, services and niches, and to build an
infrastructure sufficient to support present and prospective business
activities. Further growth in our FTE personnel is likely to occur during
future years as a result of the continued expansion of our business
activities.

Retention and warrant incentive plans expense totaled $2.9 million in the second
quarter of 2000, a $2.6 million increase over the $0.3 million incurred in the
second quarter of 1999. Retention and warrant incentive plans expense totaled
$12.8 million for the first six months of 2000, a $12.1 million increase over
the $0.7 million incurred in the first six months of 1999. Under the provisions
of the retention and warrant incentive plans, employees are compensated with a
fixed percentage of gains realized on warrant and certain venture capital fund
and direct equity investments. The increase in retention and warrant plans
expense was directly related to the increase in warrant, venture capital fund
and direct equity investment gains over the comparable 1999 period.

Professional services expenses, which consist of costs associated with corporate
legal services, litigation settlements, accounting and auditing services,
consulting, and our Board of Directors, totaled $6.3 million and $8.7 million
for the three and six months ended June 30, 2000, an increase of $2.7 million,
or 76.7%, and $2.8 million, or 48.0%, compared to $3.6 million and $5.9 million
in the comparable 1999 periods. The increase in professional services expenses
reflects the extensive efforts undertaken by us to continue to build and support
our infrastructure, as well as evaluate and pursue new business opportunities.
It also reflects our efforts in outsourcing several corporate functions, such as
internal audit, facilities management and credit review, where we believes we
can achieve a combination of cost savings and increased quality of service.

Occupancy, furniture and equipment expenses totaled $5.0 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2000, an increase of $2.0 million, or 68.9%, from the $3.0
million for the three months ended June 30, 1999. Occupancy, furniture and
equipment expenses totaled $8.9 million and $5.8 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2000 and 1999. The increase in occupancy, furniture and equipment
expenses in 2000, as compared to 1999, was primarily the result of our effort to
achieve greater capacity from our existing facilities as well as continued
geographic expansion to develop and support new markets.

Business development and travel expenses totaled $2.3 million and $4.7 million
for the three and six months ended June 30, 2000, an increase of $0.8 million,
or 50.4%, and $1.9 million, or 65.8%, compared to $1.5 million and $2.9 million
in the comparable 1999 periods. The increase in business development and travel
expenses was largely attributable to overall growth in our business, including
both an increase in the number of FTE personnel and expansion into new
geographic markets.

Trust preferred securities distributions totaled $0.8 million and $1.7 million
for the three and six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999. These amounts
resulted from the issuance of $40.0 million in cumulative trust preferred
securities during the second quarter of 1998. The trust preferred securities pay
a fixed rate quarterly distribution of 8.25% and have a maximum maturity of 30
years.

                                       22



Other noninterest expense totaled $1.9 million and $3.7 million for the three
and six months ended June 30, 2000, an increase of $0.4 million, or 26.8%, and
$1.2 million, or 49.1%, compared to $1.5 million and $2.5 million for the
respective 1999 periods. This increase was primarily attributable to increase in
data processing costs related to both the overall growth in the our business and
several new business initiatives.

INCOME TAXES

Our effective tax rate was 40.2% and 40.7% for the second quarter and first half
of 2000, respectively, compared to 38.8% and 39.6% for the equivalent three and
six month prior year periods, respectively. The increase in our effective income
tax rate was primarily attributable to the increase in pre-tax income as
compared to the relatively constant level of non-taxable income from security
investments.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Our total assets were $5.4 billion at June 30, 2000, an increase of $796.8
million, or 17.3%, compared to $4.6 billion at December 31, 1999.

FEDERAL FUNDS SOLD AND SECURITIES PURCHASED UNDER AGREEMENT TO RESELL

Federal funds sold and securities purchased under agreement to resell totaled a
combined $1.2 billion at June 30, 2000, an increase of $305.7 million, or 34.0%,
compared to the $898.0 million outstanding at December 31, 1999. This increase
was attributable to our investing excess funds, resulting from continued strong
deposit growth during the first half of 2000, in these types of short-term
liquid investments.

INVESTMENT SECURITIES

Investment securities totaled $2.2 billion at June 30, 2000, an increase of
$436.9 million, or 25.0%, from the December 31, 1999 balance of $1.7 billion.
This increase resulted from excess funds that were generated by strong growth in
our deposits outpacing the growth in loans during the first six months of 2000,
and primarily consisted of U.S. agency securities, commercial paper, money
market mutual funds, and municipal securities. The overall growth in the
investment portfolio reflected our actions to increase, as well as to further
diversify our portfolio in response to a continued significant increase in
liquidity.

The increase in market interest rates during first half of 2000 resulted in a
pre-tax unrealized loss on our available-for-sale fixed income securities
investment portfolio of $43.9 million as of June 30, 2000, which was partially
offset by a pre-tax unrealized gain of $37.8 million associated with our warrant
securities. Because of the level of liquidity we maintain, we do not anticipate
having to sell fixed income investment securities and incurring material losses
on sales in future periods for liquidity purposes.

Based on July 31, 2000 market valuations, we had potential pre-tax warrant gains
totaling $33.4 million related to 50 companies. We are restricted from
exercising many of these warrants until the third and fourth quarters of 2000,
and first and second quarters of 2001. As of July 31, 2000, we held 1,105
warrants in 871 companies, and had made investments in 175 venture capital funds
and direct equity investments in 40 companies. Many of these companies are
non-public. Thus, for those companies for which a readily determinable market
value cannot be obtained, we value

                                       23



these equity instruments at cost less any identified impairment.
Additionally, we are typically precluded from using any type of derivative
instrument to secure the current  unrealized gains associated with many of
these equity instruments. Hence, the amount of income we realize from these
equity instruments in future periods may vary materially from the current
unrealized amount due to fluctuations in the market prices of the underlying
common stock of these companies. Furthermore, we may reinvest some or all of
the income realized from the disposition of these equity instruments in
pursuing our business strategies.

LOANS

Total loans, net of unearned income, at June 30, 2000, were $1.6 billion, a
slight decrease of $24.5 million compared to the balance at December 31, 1999.
While we continue to generate new loans in most of our technology and life
sciences and special industry niche practices, as well as in specialized lending
products, many of our clients, primarily in the technology and life sciences
niche, have received significant cash inflows from the capital markets and
venture capital community. Consequently, we have experienced higher than normal
paydowns and loan payoffs, which has caused total loans to remain relatively
unchanged from December 31, 1999 to June 30, 2000.

CREDIT QUALITY AND THE ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

Credit risk is defined as the possibility of sustaining a loss because other
parties to the financial instrument fail to perform in accordance with the terms
of the contract. While we follow underwriting and credit monitoring procedures
which we believe are appropriate in growing and managing the loan portfolio, in
the event of nonperformance by these other parties, our potential exposure to
credit losses could significantly affect our consolidated financial position and
earnings.

Lending money involves an inherent risk of nonpayment. Through the
administration of loan policies and monitoring of the loan portfolio, our
management seeks to reduce such risks. The allowance for loan losses is an
estimate to provide a financial buffer for losses, both identified and
unidentified, in the loan portfolio.

We regularly review and monitor the loan portfolio to determine the risk profile
of each credit, and to identify credits whose risk profiles have changed. This
review includes, but is not limited to, such factors as payment status, the
financial condition of the borrower, borrower compliance with loan covenants,
underlying collateral values, potential loan concentrations, and general
economic conditions. We identify potential problem credits and, based upon known
information, we develop action plans.

We have established an evaluation process designed to determine the adequacy of
the allowance for loan losses. This process attempts to assess the risk of
losses inherent in the loan portfolio by segregating the allowance for loan
losses into three components: "specific," "loss migration," and "general." The
specific component is established by allocating a portion of the allowance for
loan losses to individual classified credits on the basis of specific
circumstances and assessments. The loss migration component is calculated as a
function of the historical loss migration experience of the internal loan credit
risk rating categories. The general component, composed of allocated and
unallocated portions that supplements the first two components, includes: our
management's judgment of the effect of current and forecasted economic
conditions on the borrowers' abilities to repay, an evaluation of the allowance
for loan losses in relation to the size of the overall loan

                                       24



portfolio, an evaluation of the composition of, and growth trends within, the
loan portfolio, consideration of the relationship of the allowance for loan
losses to nonperforming loans, net charge-off trends, and other factors.
While this evaluation process uses historical and other objective
information, the classification of loans and the establishment of the
allowance for loan losses, relies, to a great extent, on the judgment and
experience of our management.

The allowance for loan losses totaled $73.8 million at June 30, 2000, an
increase of $2.0 million, or 2.8%, compared to the $71.8 million balance at
December 31, 1999. This increase was due to $23.6 million in additional
provisions to the allowance for loan losses, offset by net charge-offs of $21.6
million for the first half of 2000.

We incurred $11.3 million and $27.5 million in gross charge-off during the three
and six months ended June 30, 2000. The gross charge-offs in the first six
months of 2000 included four commercial credits totaling $16.5 million, of which
$12.0 million was centered in our healthcare services niche. Of the total gross
charge-offs incurred during the first half of 2000, $12.5 million were
classified as nonperforming loans at the end of 1999.

We believe our allowance for loan losses is adequate as of June 30, 2000.
However, future changes in circumstances, economic conditions or other factors
could cause us to increase or decrease the allowance for loan losses as deemed
necessary. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of
their examination process, periodically review our allowance for loan losses.
Such agencies may require us to make adjustments to the allowance for loan
losses based on their judgment of information available to them at the time of
their examination.

Nonperforming assets consist of loans that are past due 90 days or more but
still accruing interest, loans on nonaccrual status and OREO and other
foreclosed assets.

The table below sets forth certain relationships between nonperforming loans,
nonperforming assets and the allowance for loan losses:




                                                                                      June 30,         December 31,

                                       25



Nonperforming loans totaled $26.9 million, or 1.7% of total loans, at June 30,
2000, a decrease of $1.6 million or 5.6%, from the prior year-end total of $28.5
million, or 1.7% of total loans. Nonperforming loans at June 30, 2000 include
two commercial credits totaling $14.8 million. The first credit, totaling $7.9
million, is in our entertainment niche and was disclosed as having a higher than
normal risk of becoming nonperforming in our 2000 first quarter Form 10-Q. The
second credit, totaling $6.9 million, is in our healthcare services niche and
has been nonperforming since the 2000 first quarter. Our management believes
these credits are adequately secured with collateral and reserves, and that any
future charge-offs associated with these loans will not have a material impact
on our future net income.

In addition to the loans disclosed in the foregoing analysis, we have identified
four loans totaling $15.6 million, that, on the basis of information known to
us, were judged to have a higher than normal risk of becoming nonperforming. We
are not aware of any other loans where known information about possible problems
of the borrower casts serious doubts about the ability of the borrower to comply
with the loan repayment terms.

DEPOSITS

Total deposits were $4.8 billion at June 30, 2000, an increase of $735.8
million, or 17.9%, from the prior year-end total of $4.1 billion. A significant
portion of the increase in deposits during the first half of 2000 was due to
increases in both the noninterest-bearing demand and time deposit products,
which increased $608.7 million, or 31.6%, and $338.8 million, or 115.9%,
respectively. These increases were explained by high levels of client liquidity
attributable to a strong inflow of investment capital into the venture capital
community and equity markets, and by growth in the number of clients served by
us during the first half of 2000.

MARKET RISK MANAGEMENT

Interest rate risk is the most significant market risk impacting us. Our
monitoring activities related to managing interest rate risk include both
interest rate sensitivity "gap" analysis and the use of a simulation model to
measure the impact of market interest rate changes on the net present value of
estimated cash flows from our assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet items,
defined as our market value of portfolio equity (MVPE). See our 1999 Annual
Report on Form 10-K for disclosure of the quantitative and qualitative
information regarding the interest rate risk inherent in interest rate risk
sensitive instruments as of December 31, 1999. There have been no changes in the
assumptions used by us in monitoring interest rate risk as of June 30, 2000.
Other types of market risk affecting us in the normal course of our business
activities include foreign currency exchange risk and equity price risk. The
impact on us, resulting from these other two types of market risks, is deemed
immaterial. We do not maintain a portfolio of trading securities and do not
intend to engage in such activities in the immediate future.

LIQUIDITY

Another important objective of asset/liability management is to manage
liquidity. The objective of liquidity management is to ensure that funds are
available in a timely manner to meet loan demand and depositors' needs, and to
service other liabilities as they come due, without causing an undue amount of
cost or risk, and without causing a disruption to normal operating conditions.

                                       26



We regularly assess the amount and likelihood of projected funding requirements
through a review of factors such as historical deposit volatility and funding
patterns, present and forecasted market and economic conditions, individual
client funding needs, and existing and planned business activities. Our
asset/liability committee (ALCO) provides oversight to the liquidity management
process and recommends policy guidelines, subject to board of directors
approval, and courses of action to address our actual and projected liquidity
needs.

The ability to attract a stable, low-cost base of deposits is our primary source
of liquidity. Other sources of liquidity available to us include short-term
borrowings, which consist of federal funds purchased, security repurchase
agreements and other short-term borrowing arrangements. Our liquidity
requirements can also be met through the use of our portfolio of liquid assets.
Our definition of liquid assets includes cash and cash equivalents in excess of
the minimum levels necessary to carry out normal business operations, federal
funds sold, securities purchased under resale agreements, investment securities
maturing within six months, investment securities eligible and available for
pledging purposes with a maturity in excess of six months, and anticipated near
term cash flows from investments.

Our policy guidelines provide that liquid assets as a percentage of total
deposits should not fall below 20.0%. At June 30, 2000, the Bank's ratio of
liquid assets to total deposits was 64.1%. This ratio is well in excess of our
minimum policy guidelines and is higher than the comparable ratio of 55.7% as of
December 31, 1999. In addition to monitoring the level of liquid assets relative
to total deposits, we also utilize other policy measures in liquidity management
activities. As of June 30, 2000, we were in compliance with all of these policy
measures.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our management seeks to maintain adequate capital to support anticipated asset
growth and credit risks, and to ensure that Silicon and Silicon Valley Bank are
in compliance with all regulatory capital guidelines. Our primary sources of new
capital include the issuance of trust preferred securities and common stock, as
well as retained earnings.

On August 7, 2000, we issued 2.3 million shares of common stock at $42.19 per
share. We received proceeds of $91.0 million related to the sale of these
securities, net of underwriting commission and other offering expenses.

In December 1999 we issued 2.8 million shares of common stock at $21.00 per
share. In January 2000, we issued an additional 0.4 million shares at $21.00 per
share in relation to the exercise of an over-allotment option by the
underwriters for that offering. Proceed from the sale of these securities
totaled $63.3 million, net of underwriting commissions and other offering
expenses. In addition, in 1998 we issued $40.0 million face amount in cumulative
trust preferred securities through a newly formed special-purpose trust, SVB
Capital I. The securities had an offering price (liquidation amount) of $25 per
security and distributions at a fixed rate of 8.25% are paid quarterly. The
securities have a maximum maturity of 30 years and qualify as Tier 1 capital
under the capital guidelines of the Federal Reserve Board. We received proceeds
of $38.5 million related to the sale of these securities, net of underwriting
commissions and other offering expenses. The trust preferred securities are
presented as a separate line item in the consolidated balance sheet under the
caption "Company obligated mandatorily redeemable trust preferred securities of
subsidiary trust holding solely junior subordinated debentures."

                                       27



Stockholders' equity totaled $436.2 million at June 30, 2000, an increase of
$67.3 million, or 18.3%, from the $368.9 million balance at December 31, 1999.
This increase was primarily due to net income of $88.4 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2000 and net proceeds from the issuance of common stock of
$19.4 million, partially offset by a decrease in the after-tax net unrealized
gains on available-for-sale securities of $44.7 million. We have not paid a cash
dividend on our common stock since 1992, and we do not have any material
commitments for capital expenditures as of June 30, 2000.

Both Silicon and Silicon Valley Bank are subject to capital adequacy guidelines
issued by the Federal Reserve Board. Under these capital guidelines, the minimum
total risk-based capital ratio and Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio requirements
are 10.0% and 6.0%, respectively, of risk-weighted assets and certain
off-balance sheet items for a well capitalized depository institution.

The Federal Reserve Board has also established minimum capital leverage ratio
guidelines for state member banks. The ratio is determined using Tier 1 capital
divided by quarterly average total assets. The guidelines require a minimum of
5.0% for a well capitalized depository institution.

Both Silicon's and Silicon Valley Bank's capital ratios were in excess of
regulatory guidelines for a well capitalized depository institution as of June
30, 2000, and December 31, 1999. Capital ratios for Silicon and Silicon Valley
Bank are set forth below:




                                                                                  June 30,          December 31,
                                                                                    2000                1999
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                                             
Silicon Valley Bancshares:
Total risk-based capital ratio..................................................    15.7%               15.5%
Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio.................................................    14.4%               14.3%
Tier 1 leverage ratio...........................................................     9.4%                8.8%

Silicon Valley Bank:
Total risk-based capital ratio..................................................    13.9%               14.0%
Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio.................................................    12.6%               12.7%
Tier 1 leverage ratio...........................................................     8.2%                7.9%


The increase in the total risk-based capital ratio, the Tier 1 risk-based
capital ratio and the Tier 1 leverage ratio from December 31, 1999 to June 30,
2000 was primarily attributable to an increase in Tier 1 capital. This increase
was due to both the issuance of common stock, which generated net proceeds of
$19.4 million, and internally generated capital, primarily net income of $88.4
