CIVIC BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 The unaudited consolidated financial statements of Civic Bancorp and subsidiary
 (the Company) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
 accounting principles and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. In the opinion of
 management, all necessary adjustments have been made to fairly present the
 financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim
 periods presented. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be
 read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
 ended December 31, 1995. The results of operations and cash flows are not
 necessarily indicative of those expected for the complete fiscal year. Net
 income per common share computed on a primary and fully diluted basis is
 substantially the same.


ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
        RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
         FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1996 AND 1995

Overview

For the three months ended March 31, 1996, the Company reported net income of
$925,000, or $.20 per share compared to a net income of $780,000 or $.18 per
share for the same period of the prior year. The annualized return on average
assets was 1.57% for the three months ended March 31, 1996 compared to 1.23% for
the same period of the prior year. The annualized return on average
shareholders' equity for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995 was
12.37% and 11.79%, respectively.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 1996 was $4.0 million,
increasing $50,000 or 1.3% from net interest income of $3.9 million for the same
period in 1995. Net interest income was consistent with the prior year as the
positive impacts of a more favorable mix of earning assets and a decrease in the
volume of interest bearing liabilities were offset by the negative impact of a
decrease in the volume of earning assets.

Total interest income for the first three months of 1996 equaled $5.1 million, a
decrease of $119,000 from interest income earned in the same period in 1995. The
decrease in total interest income was attributed to the decrease in total
average earning assets which was partially offset by a shift in earning assets
to higher yielding loans from Federal funds sold and investment securities.
Average earning assets decreased $14.3 million or 6.1% to $218.7 million for the
first quarter of 1996 from $233.0 million for the same period of the prior year.
Offsetting the 

                                       6

 
decline in earning assets was an increase in the average loan
volume of $7.6 million which has a higher rate of return than that of Federal
fund sold and securities.

Total interest expense for the first three months of 1996 equaled $1.1 million
and decreased 13.0% from the $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31,
1995 due to a decline of $21.9 million or 13.7% in the volume of interest
bearing liabilities.

The net interest margin increased 47 basis points to 7.27% for the first quarter
of 1996 from 6.80% for the same period of the prior year. The increase in the
margin is primarily attributed to the shift in earning assets to higher yielding
loans, as previously discussed, and a shift in the proportion of total assets
funded by interest-free liabilities. The proportion of total assets funded by
demand deposits and capital increased to 41.3% for the first quarter of 1996
from 37.0% for the first quarter of 1995. Conversely, the proportion of total
assets funded by interest-bearing liabilities decreased to 58.7% from 63.0% from
the same period, respectively.

The following table presents an analysis of the components of net interest 
income for the three month periods ended March 31, 1996 and 1995.

Provision for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses for the three months ended March 31, 1996 was
$225,000, a decrease of $75,000 or 25.0% from the three months ended March 31,
1995. The amount of the provision was reduced due to a decline in the level of
net loan charge-offs.

Non-Interest Income

Non-interest income for the three months ended March 31, 1996 was $179,000, a
decrease of $11,000 or 5.79% from the three months ended March 31, 1995. The
decrease in customer service fees is attributed to the decline in deposits.

Non-Interest Expense

Non-interest expense totaled $2.8 million and $3.0 million for the three months
ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. FDIC assessments declined $125,000
or 99.2% for the first quarter of 1996 as compared to the prior year due to
declines in the assessment rates.  The Company reduced the volume of external
marketing consulting in 1996 from 1995 which reduced the level of consulting
expenses.

For the three months ended March 31, 1996 the Company recorded a write-down on
one foreclosed property of $50,000 and incurred $30,000 in expenses associated
with managing, maintaining and liquidating foreclosed assets compared to a
write-down of $20,000 and expenses of $30,000 for the three months ended March
31, 1995.

The following table summarizes the significant components of noninterest expense
for the dates indicated.

Provision for Income Taxes

At December 31, 1995 the Company had approximately $1.1 million of state net
operating loss carryforwards which begin to expire in 1998 and $455,000 of tax
credit carryforwards which begin to expire in 2006. Due to the utilization of
such carryforwards, the Company recorded a provision for income taxes of
$195,000 for Federal and state alternative minimum taxes for the three months
ended March 31, 1996.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Loans

Average loans increased $7.6 million or 4.9% to $159.1 million for the three
months ended March 31, 1996 from $151.6 million for the same period in 1995. The
increase in average loans is attributed to an improving economic environment and
an overall increase in loan demand.

Real estate construction loans as a percentage of total loans outstanding were
2.6% at March 31, 1996 compared to 2.8% at March 31, 1995. The relatively low
level of  real estate construction loans reflects management's decision to
curtail real estate construction loan commitments because the risks associated
with real estate construction loans are generally considered to be higher than
risks associated with other forms of lending.

Other real estate loans consist of mini-perm loans and land acquisition loans
which are primarily owner-occupied and are generally granted based on the rental
or lease income stream generated by the property. The decline in the real
estate-other category from December 31, 1995 to March 31, 1996 is due to the
pay-off of one large loan.

The following table sets forth the amount of loans outstanding in each category
and the percentage of total loans outstanding for each category as of the date

At March 31, 1996, the recorded investment in loans considered to be impaired
under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 114 "Accounting by
Creditors for Impairment of a Loan" as amended by Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 118 was $2,920,000 all of which were on a non-accrual
basis. Included in this amount was $97,000 of impaired loans for which the
related allowance for loan losses was $77,000 and $2,823,000 of impaired loans
which approximate the fair value of the supporting collateral and accordingly do
not have an associated allowance for loan loss. For the quarter ended March 31,
1996, the average recorded investment in impaired loans was $2,950,000 and no
interest income was recognized on impaired loans. If interest income on those
loans had  been recognized, such income would have approximated $111,000.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level that management of the
Company considers to be adequate for losses that can be reasonably anticipated
in relation to the risk of future losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The
allowance is increased by charges to operating expenses and reduced by net
charge-offs.

In assessing the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, management relies on
its ongoing review of the loan portfolio to identify potential problem loans in
a timely manner, ascertains whether there are probable losses which must be
charged off and assesses the aggregate risk characteristics of the portfolio.
Factors which influence management's judgment include the impact of forecasted
economic conditions, historical loan loss experience, the evaluation of risks
which vary with the type of loan, creditworthiness of the borrower and the value
of the underlying collateral. Management believes the allowance for loan losses
was adequate at March 31, 1996.

The balance in the allowance for loan losses at March 31, 1996 was $5.1 million
or 3.31% of total loans compared to $3.2 million or 2.17% at March 31, 1995.

Potential Problem Loans

At March 31, 1996 there were no loans which represented material credits about
which management has serious doubts as to the ability of the borrowers to comply
with the original terms and conditions.

At March 31, 1996 there were no loans classified for regulatory purposes as
loss, doubtful, substandard or special mention that have not been disclosed in
the discussion above that (i) represented or resulted from trends or
uncertainties which management anticipated would have a material impact on
future operating results, liquidity, capital resources or (ii) represented
material credits about which management was aware of information that would
cause serious doubt as to the ability of the borrower to comply with the loan
repayment terms.

Investment Portfolio

The Company's investment portfolio is used primarily for liquidity purposes and
secondarily for investment income. The portfolio is primarily composed of U.S.
Treasury and U.S. government agency instruments and investment grade municipal
obligations. The total of securities available for sale and held to maturity
declined $4.8 million as funds provided by maturing securities were used to
accommodate deposit withdrawals.

Deposits

For the three months ended March 31, 1996 average deposits totaled $202.8
million, a decrease of $23.4 million or 10.3% from $226.1 million for the same
period in 1995. Management attributes the decline in deposits, particularly
money market deposits, to increased competition from and availability of
nondeposit products such as mutual funds.

For the three months ended March 31, 1996, average demand deposits totaled $65.6
million, a decrease of $425,000 or 0.6% from the same period in 1995. Average
demand deposits as a percentage of total deposits increased to 32.4% for the
first quarter of 1996 from 29.2% for the same period of the prior year. Average
interest-bearing deposits decreased $22.9 million or 14.3% for the three months
ended March 31, 1996 from the same period in 1995. Average interest-bearing
deposits comprised 67.6% of

Certificates of deposit over $100,000 are generally considered a higher cost and
less stable form of funding than lower denomination deposits and may represent a
greater risk of interest rate and volume volatility than small retail deposits.
Time certificates of $100,000 or more at March 31, 1996 had the following

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Liquidity

Liquidity management refers to the Bank's ability to acquire funds to meet loan
demand, fund deposit withdrawals and to service other liabilities.

Cash and cash equivalents declined $9.2 million at March 31, 1996 from December
31, 1995 as the cash flows required for financing activities exceeded  the funds
provided by operating and investing activities. Cash and cash equivalents of
$17.1 million were required to accommodate deposit withdrawals which were
partially funded by a combination of operating activities, which provided $2
million of cash and cash equivalents, and investing activities, principally
maturing loans and maturing securities, which provided $5.8 million of cash and
cash equivalents.

To augment liquidity, the Bank has informal Federal funds borrowing arrangements
with correspondent banks totaling $24.0 million and maintains a credit
arrangement with the 

                                       15

 
Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco for open window borrowing. At March 31,
1996 the Bank had no outstanding borrowings against these arrangements.
Additionally, at March 31, 1996, unpledged government securities that are
available to secure additional borrowing in the form of reverse repurchase
agreements totaled approximately $48.5 million. At March 31, 1996 the Bank had
no reverse repurchase agreements.

The Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco and through
membership has the ability to pledge qualifying collateral for short term (up to
six months) and long term (up to five years) borrowing. At March 31, 1996 there
were no outstanding advances.

The liquidity position of the Company may be expressed as a ratio defined as (a)
cash, Federal funds sold, other unpledged short term investments and marketable
securities, including those maturing after one year, divided by (b) total assets
less pledged securities. Using this definition at March 31, 1996, the Company
