Exhibit 13.0 April 11, 2002 Dear: Shareholders, Customers, and Friends of Pacific State Bank What a year 2001 was for Pacific State Bank and all of us. In retrospect, the year 2001 that our bank, our communities, and our country experienced was truly a challenge in many ways. For Pacific State Bank the year started out slowly; requiring intense cost control evaluation, as well as strong asset and liability management. In addition, Management anticipated the potential for prime rate reductions, however we did not foresee the need for eleven reductions. As management began restructuring our company's balance sheet and income statement for the many financial issues that it anticipated; California was hit with raising energy cost adding unplanned costs to all of our daily lives. The energy issue so concerned and perplexed me that I contacted many of our small business customers and friends to evaluate the effects of raising energy costs on them and their businesses. Due to my research; and the information provided to me by many of you on your plight to save energy, I was asked to address Senator Michael Machado's Senate Committee on the effect of the "Energy Crisis" on the banking industry. The committee was comprised of members of the California State Senate Banking Committee, which heard testimony from a cadre of financial institutions from all areas of the state. The testimony made to the committee led to information that aided in protecting small business and it's dealings with the large utilities in the state. The 2nd and 3rd quarters brought solid financial growth and performance to the Bank. Pacific State Bank increased earnings and grew assets at a strong and steady pace. Then on September 11, 2001 all of our worlds stood still as our nation dealt with the horror and destruction that was leveled onto New York City and Washington D.C. As we all know the loss of life and financial issues that were created by this devious act of cowardice were unprecedented. Pacific State Bank and its staff made contributions of several thousand dollars toward the 9-11 fund. As we began to restore a bit of normalcy back into our daily lives, Pacific State Bank charged into the 4th quarter. The bank entered into an agreement to purchase the deposits and loans of the California Bank and Trust's Stockton Branch in December. Pacific State Bank also pushed profits to record levels earning over $1,000,0000 for the second consecutive year. Year-end 2001 also reported the fifth consecutive year of increased profits; Pacific State Bank's management takes great pride in this accomplishment. 2001 also produced an increase in Pacific State Bank's market price per share of more than 28%. Increasing Pacific State Bank's Market Capitalization to $11,395,410. For further information on Pacific State Bank and our stock visit our website at www.pacificstatebank.com. The 1st quarter of 2002 has proven to be just as exciting as 2001. Our shareholders approved the purchase of the California Bank and Trust branch in February and the transaction closed as scheduled on March 15th. The completed purchase pushed the bank's total assets to record levels $145,000,000. In addition to adding millions in new assets Pacific State Bank gained over 1,000 new customers from throughout San Joaquin County. Please join me in welcoming all of our new friends, customers and staff to the Pacific State Bank family. 2002 marks Pacific State Bank's 15th year in operation. An important issue for the Board of Directors and I is that of financial privacy; an important concern for all of us. Pacific State Bank was formed based on the premises that financial privacy is to be maintained at all times for our customers and shareholders. Rest assure that Pacific State Bank will not sell your financial information to a third party without your written consent. It is the bank's policy to protect the privacy of all our customers and shareholders. You may obtain a copy of our privacy policy from our website or by visiting any of our seven branches. In closing on May 9th the Pacific State Bank's 15th annual meeting will take on a special connotation. This year's meeting is very important because we are asking you the shareholder to approve the creation of Pacific State Bancorp, our new bank holding company. So please return your proxy with a vote for approval of the holding company and your Board of Directors as quickly as possible. Pacific State Bancorp's development will enable the bank's successful growth trends to continue into the future. Thank you again for all of your support and investment in Pacific State Bank. Pacific State Bank is a community bank and you are our community.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES General Pacific State Bank (the "Bank") commenced operations in 1987 and is a California state-chartered member bank of the Federal Reserve System. The Bank operates seven branches in California, including two branches in Stockton and branches in Modesto, Groveland, Arnold, Angels Camp and Tracy. An eighth branch in Columbia was sold in 2000 (Note 15). The Bank's primary source of revenue is providing loans to customers who are predominately small and middle-market businesses and individuals. The accounting and reporting policies of the Bank conform with generally accepted accounting principles and prevailing practices within the banking industry. Reclassifications Certain reclassifications have been made to prior years' balances to conform to classifications used in 2001. Cash and Cash Equivalents For purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash and due from banks and Federal funds sold. Generally, Federal funds are sold for one-day periods. Investment Securities Investments are classified into the following categories: o Available-for-sale securities, reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported, net of taxes, as accumulated other comprehensive income or loss within shareholders' equity. o Held-to-maturity securities, which management has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity, reported at amortized cost, adjusted for the accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums. Management determines the appropriate classification of its investments at the time of purchase and may only change the classification in certain limited circumstances. All transfers between categories are accounted for at fair value. Gains or losses on the sale of securities are computed on the specific identification method. Interest earned on investment securities is reported in interest income, net of applicable adjustments for accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums. In addition, unrealized losses that are other than temporary are recognized in earnings for all investments. 8 PACIFIC STATE BANK NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Loans Loans are stated at principal balances outstanding, except for loans transferred from loans held for sale which are carried at the lower of principal balance or market value at the date of transfer, adjusted for accretion of discounts. Interest is accrued daily based upon outstanding loan balances. However, when, in the opinion of management, loans are considered to be impaired and the future collectibility of interest and principal is in serious doubt, loans are placed on nonaccrual status and the accrual of interest income is suspended. Any interest accrued but unpaid is charged against income. Payments received are applied to reduce principal to the extent necessary to ensure collection. Subsequent payments on these loans, or payments received on nonaccrual loans for which the ultimate collectibility of principal is not in doubt, are applied first to earned but unpaid interest and then to principal. An impaired loan is measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate or, as a practical matter, at the loan's observable market price or the fair value of collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect all amounts due (including both principal and interest) in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Loan origination fees, commitment fees, direct loan origination costs and purchase premiums and discounts on loans are deferred and recognized as an adjustment of yield, to be amortized to interest income over the contractual term of the loan. The unamortized balance of deferred fees and costs is reported as a component of net loans. Loan Sales and Servicing Government Guaranteed Loans Included in the portfolio are loans which are 75% to 90% guaranteed by the Small Business Administration (SBA), Business and Industrial, Farmer Mac and California Capital. The guaranteed portion of these loans may be sold to a third party, with the Bank retaining the unguaranteed portion. The Bank generally receives a premium in excess of the adjusted carrying value of the loan at the time of sale. The Bank may be required to refund a portion of the sales premium if the borrower defaults or prepays within ninety days of the settlement date. At December 31, 2001, there were no premiums subject to these recourse provisions. The Bank's investment in the loan is allocated between the retained portion of the loan, the servicing asset, the interest-only (IO) strip, and the sold portion of the loan based on their relative fair values on the date the loan is sold. The gain on the sold portion of the loan is recognized as income at the time of sale. The carrying value of the retained portion of the loan is discounted based on the estimated value of a comparable non-guaranteed loan. The servicing asset is amortized over the estimated life of the related loan. Assets (accounted for as interest-only (IO) strips) are recorded at the fair value of the difference between note rates and rates paid to purchasers (the interest spread) and contractual servicing fees, if applicable. The IO strip asset is not significant at December 31, 2001. Significant future prepayments of these loans will result in the recognition of additional amortization of related servicing assets and an adjustment to the carrying value of related IO strips. The Bank serviced government-guaranteed loans for others totaling $20,175,000 and $20,062,000 as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. 9 PACIFIC STATE BANK NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Loan Sales and Servicing (Continued) Servicing Rights Servicing rights acquired through 1) a purchase or 2) the origination of loans which are sold or securitized with servicing rights retained are recognized as separate assets or liabilities. Servicing assets or liabilities are recorded at the difference between the contractual servicing fees and adequate compensation for performing the servicing, and are subsequently amortized in proportion to and over the period of the related net servicing income or expense. Servicing assets are periodically evaluated for impairment. Servicing rights were not considered material for disclosure purposes. Allowance for Loan Losses The allowance for loan losses is maintained to provide for losses related to impaired loans and other losses that can be expected to occur in the normal course of business. The determination of the allowance is based on estimates made by management, to include consideration of the character of the loan portfolio, specifically identified problem loans, potential losses inherent in the portfolio taken as a whole and economic conditions in the Bank's service area. Loans determined to be impaired or classified are individually evaluated by management for specific risk of loss. In addition, reserve factors are assigned to currently performing loans based on management's assessment of the following for each identified loan type: (1) inherent credit risk, (2) historical losses and, (3) where the Bank has not experienced losses, the loss experience of peer banks. Management also computes specific and expected loss reserves for loan commitments. These estimates are particularly susceptible to changes in the economic environment and market conditions. The Bank's Loan Committee reviews the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses at least quarterly, to include consideration of the relative risks in the portfolio and current economic conditions. The allowance is adjusted based on that review if, in the judgment of the Loan Committee and management, changes are warranted. This allowance is established through a provision for loan losses which is charged to expense. Additions to the allowance are expected to maintain the adequacy of the total allowance after net charge-offs and loan growth. The allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively, reflects management's estimate of possible losses in the portfolio. Other Real Estate Other real estate includes real estate acquired in full or partial settlement of loan obligations. When property is acquired, any excess of the Bank's recorded investment in the loan balance and accrued interest income over the estimated fair market value of the property, net of estimated selling costs, is charged against the allowance for loan losses. A valuation allowance for losses on other real estate is maintained to provide for temporary declines in value. The allowance is established through a provision for losses on other real estate which is included in other expenses. Subsequent gains or losses on sales or writedowns resulting from permanent impairments are recorded in other income or expenses as incurred. 10 PACIFIC STATE BANK NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Bank Premises and Equipment Bank premises and equipment are carried at cost. Depreciation is determined using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. The useful lives of Bank premises are estimated to be twenty to twenty-seven years. The useful lives of furniture, fixtures and equipment are estimated to be two to seven years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the life of the asset or the life of the related lease, whichever is shorter. When assets are sold or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation and amortization are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in income for the period. The cost of maintenance and repairs is charged to expense as incurred. Income Taxes Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial statement and tax bases of existing assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment. On the balance sheet, net deferred tax assets are included in accrued interest receivable and other assets. Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per share (EPS), which excludes dilution, is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock, such as stock options, result in the issuance of common stock which shares in the earnings of the Bank. The treasury stock method has been applied to determine the dilutive effect of stock options in computing diluted EPS. Stock-Based Compensation Stock options are accounted for under the intrinsic value method prescribed in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. Accordingly, compensation cost for stock options is measured as the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of the Bank's stock at the date of grant over the exercise price. However, if the fair value of stock-based compensation computed under a fair value based method, as prescribed in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, is material to the financial statements, pro forma net income and earnings per share are disclosed as if the fair value method had been applied. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. 11 PACIFIC STATE BANK NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Impact of New Financial Accounting Standards In September 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities, to replace SFAS No. 125 which was issued in June 1996. The original statement addressed issues related to transfers of financial assets in which the transferor has some continuing involvement with the transferred assets or with the transferee. SFAS No. 140 resolves implementation issues which arose as a result of SFAS No. 125, but carries forward most of the provisions of the original statement. SFAS 140 was effective for transfers occurring after March 31, 2001 and for disclosures relating to securitization transactions and collateral for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2000. Management does not believe the adoption of this statement has had a significant impact on the Bank's financial statements. In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations. SFAS No. 141 addresses the financial accounting and reporting for business combinations and requires the use of a single method to account for business combinations, the purchase method of accounting. In addition, SFAS No. 141 requires that intangible assets be recognized as assets apart from goodwill if they meet one of two criteria, the contractual-legal criterion or the separability criterion. SFAS No. 141 applies to all business combinations for which the date of acquisition is July 1, 2001 or later. In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Pursuant to SFAS No. 142, goodwill and other intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives will be evaluated periodically for impairment rather than amortized. The provisions of this statement apply to financial statements for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001, except for goodwill or other intangible assets acquired after June 30, 2001 for which SFAS No. 142 is immediately effective. Management does not believe the adoption of SFAS No. 141 and SFAS No. 142 will have a significant impact on the Bank's financial position or results of operations. In October 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, which replaces SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of. The accounting model for long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale applies to all long-lived assets, including discontinued operations, and replaces the provision of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 30, Reporting Results of Operations-Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, for the disposal of segments of a business. SFAS No. 144 requires that those long-lived assets be measured at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell, whether reported in continuing operations or in discontinued operations. Therefore, discontinued operations will no longer be measured at net realizable value or include amounts for operating losses that have not yet occurred. The provisions of SFAS No. 144 are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001 and, generally, are to be applied prospectively. Management does not believe the adoption of this statement will have a significant impact on the Bank's financial position or results of operations. 12 PACIFIC STATE BANK NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) 2.

SHORT-TERM BORROWING ARRANGEMENTS The Bank has unsecured short-term borrowing arrangements totaling $4,000,000 with three of its correspondent banks. There were no borrowings outstanding under these arrangements at December 31, 2001 and 2000. Additionally, the Bank has a borrowing arrangement with the Federal Reserve Bank secured by investment securities with amortized costs totaling $212,000 and estimated market values totaling $215,000. At December 31, 2001 and 2000, the Bank had no outstanding borrowings under this arrangement. 17 PACIFIC STATE BANK NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) 7. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Leases The Bank leases branch offices and certain equipment under non-cancelable operating leases. The leases expire on various dates through 2009 and have various renewal options ranging from five to ten years. The lease on one branch office includes scheduled rent increases. The total amount of the rent payments is being charged to expense using a straight-line method over the term of the lease. The Bank has recorded a deferred credit to reflect the excess of rent expense over cash payments since inception of the lease. Future minimum lease payments are as follows: Year Ending December 31, ------------- 2002 $ 254,000 2003 239,000 2004 239,000 2005 240,000 2006 241,000 Thereafter 510,000 ---------- $1,723,000 ========== Rental expense included in occupancy, furniture and equipment expense totaled $267,000, $271,000 and $245,000 for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Financial Instruments With Off-Balance-Sheet Risk The Bank is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business in order to meet the financing needs of its customers and to reduce its own exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. These financial instruments consist of commitments to extend credit and letters of credit. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized on the balance sheet. The Bank's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party for commitments to extend credit and letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Bank uses the same credit policies in making commitments and letters of credit as it does for loans included on the balance sheet. The following financial instruments represent off-balance-sheet credit risk: December 31, ------------------------------- 2001 2000 ----------- ----------- Commitments to extend credit $39,564,000 $29,590,000 Letters of credit $ 2,211,000 $ 245,000 18 PACIFIC STATE BANK NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) 7. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (Continued) Financial Instruments With Off-Balance-Sheet Risk (Continued) Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since some of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Bank evaluates each customer's creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Bank upon extension of credit, is based on management's credit evaluation of the borrower. Collateral held varies, but may include accounts receivable, inventory, equipment, income-producing commercial properties and residential real estate. Letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance or financial obligation of a customer to a third party. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers. At December 31, 2001, commercial loan commitments represent approximately 42% of total commitments and are generally secured by various assets of the borrower. Real estate loan commitments represent approximately 53% of total commitments and are generally secured by property with a loan-to-value ratio not to exceed 75% to 80%. Consumer loan commitments represent the remaining 5% of total commitments and are generally unsecured. In addition, the majority of the Bank's commitments have variable interest rates. Significant Concentrations of Credit Risk The Bank's customers are primarily located in San Joaquin, Stanislaus, Calaveras and Tuolumne Counties. Approximately 27% of the Bank's loans are for general commercial uses, including professional, retail and small business, and 8% are for agricultural uses. Additionally, 24% of the Bank's loans are for the construction of residential and commercial real estate and 37% are loans which are collateralized by mortgages on residential and commercial real estate. Generally, real estate loans are secured by real property while commercial and other loans are secured by funds on deposit and business or personal assets. The remaining 4% of the Bank's loans are consumer installment loans. Repayment is generally expected from the proceeds of property sales and permanent financing for real estate construction loans and borrower cash flows for other loans. Contingencies The Bank is subject to legal proceedings and claims which arise in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the amount of ultimate liability with respect to such actions will not materially affect the financial position or results of operations of the Bank. Federal Reserve Requirements Banks are required to maintain a combination of reserves with the Federal Reserve Bank and vault cash equal to a percentage of their reservable deposits. The reserve balances required at December 31, 2001 and 2000 were maintained entirely in the form of vault cash. 19 PACIFIC STATE BANK NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) 8. SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY Dividends Upon declaration by the Board of Directors, all shareholders of record will be entitled to receive dividends. The California Financial Code restricts the total dividend payment of any bank in any calendar year to the lesser of (1) the bank's retained earnings or (2) the bank's net income for its last three fiscal years, less distributions made to shareholders during the same three-year period. As a member of the Federal Reserve System, the Bank is also subject to similar restrictions imposed by Federal law. At December 31, 2001, retained earnings of $2,787,231 were free of such restrictions. Earnings Per Share A reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted earnings per share computations is as follows: Year Ended December 31, ---------------------------------------- 2001 2000 1999 ---------- ---------- ---------- Basic Earnings Per Share Numerator: Net income $1,035,980 $1,008,682 $ 742,569 Denominator: Weighted average shares outstanding 742,241 714,548 649,767 ---------- ---------- ---------- Basic earnings per share $ 1.40 $ 1.41 $ 1.14 ========== ========== ========== Diluted Earnings Per Share Numerator: Net income $1,035,980 $1,008,682 $ 742,569 Denominator: Weighted average shares outstanding 742,241 714,548 649,767 Dilutive effect of stock options 42,531 34,407 36,863 ---------- ---------- ---------- 784,772 748,955 686,630 ---------- ---------- ---------- Diluted earnings per share $ 1.32 $ 1.35 $ 1.08 ========== ========== ========== The following options were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2001 because their exercise prices were greater than the average market prices of the Bank's common shares: options to purchase 11,500 shares of common stock at a price of $10.38 outstanding during the first quarter. The following options were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2000 because their exercise prices were greater than the average market prices of the Bank's common shares: options to purchase 12,500 shares of common stock at a price of $10.38 outstanding during the third quarter; and options to purchase 250 shares at a price of $10.13 outstanding during the first and second quarters. The following options were excluded in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the year ending December 31, 1999 because their exercise prices were greater than the average market prices of the Bank's common shares: options to purchase 35,250 shares of common stock at prices ranging from $8.13 to $10.75 outstanding during the first, second and third quarters of 1999; and options to purchase 18,250 shares of common stock at prices ranging from $8.75 to $10.75 outstanding during the entire 1999 fiscal year. 20 PACIFIC STATE BANK NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) 8. SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY (Continued) Stock Options During 1997 and 1987, the Bank established Stock Option Plans. At December 31, 2001, 113,208 shares of common stock are reserved under the 1997 plan for issuance to employees and directors through incentive and nonstatutory agreements. Outstanding options under the 1987 Plan are exercisable until their expiration; however, no new options will be granted under that plan. The plans require that the option price may not be less than the fair market value of the stock at the date the option is granted, and that the stock must be paid in full at the time the option is exercised. The options under the plans expire on dates determined by the Board of Directors, but not later than ten years from the date of grant. The vesting period is determined by the Board of Directors and is generally over five years. A summary of the combined activity within the plans follows: 2001 2000 1999 ---------------------- ---------------------- ---------------------- Weighted Weighted Weighted Average Average Average Exercise Exercise Exercise Shares Price Shares Price Shares Price -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- Options outstanding, beginning of year 121,213 $ 6.51 121,800 $ 5.98 140,081 $ 5.93 Options granted 2,500 $ 10.00 28,000 $ 9.50 1,000 $ 8.13 Options exercised (28,395) $ 5.18 (8,276) $ 4.69 (13,281) $ 4.05 Options canceled (3,000) $ 10.38 (20,311) $ 8.02 (6,000) $ 8.54 -------- -------- -------- Options outstanding, end of year 92,318 $ 6.88 121,213 $ 6.51 121,800 $ 5.98 ======== ======== ======== Options exercisable, end of year 68,298 $ 6.02 86,563 $ 5.39 98,200 $ 5.35 ======== ======== ======== A summary of options outstanding at December 31, 2001 follows: Number of Weighted Number of Options Average Options Outstanding Remaining Exercisable December 31, Contractual December 31, Range of Exercise Prices 2001 Life 2001 - ------------------------ ------------ ----------- ------------ $ 5.00 45,469 1.5 years 45,469 $ 4.00 3,799 2.3 years 3,799 $ 8.50 9,200 5.0 years 7,360 $ 8.88 7,900 5.5 years 6,320 $ 10.13 250 6.3 years 150 $ 8.75 1,400 6.7 years 840 $ 8.80 13,500 8.0 years 2,700 $ 10.38 8,300 8.6 years 1,660 $ 10.00 2,500 9.5 years ------------ ----------- 92,318 68,298 ============ =========== 21 PACIFIC STATE BANK NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) 8. SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY (Continued) Stock Offering In February 2000, the Bank issued 66,500 shares of the Bank's no par value common stock to a director in a private placement at a price of $7.50 per share resulting in proceeds to the Bank of $498,750. Regulatory Capital The Bank is subject to certain regulatory capital requirements promulgated by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). Failure to meet these minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory, and possibly additional discretionary, actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Bank's financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank's assets, liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Bank's capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors. Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of total and Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets and of Tier 1 capital to average assets. Each of these components is defined in the regulations. Management believes that the Bank met all its capital adequacy requirements as of December 31, 2001 and 2000. In addition, the most recent notification from the FDIC categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt correction action. To be considered well capitalized, the Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth below. There are no conditions or events since December 31, 2001 that management believes have changed the Bank's category. 2001 2000 ---------------------- --------------------- Amount Ratio Amount Ratio ----------- ------- ---------- ------- Leverage Ratio Pacific State Bank $ 9,363,000 7.8% $8,059,000 6.8% Minimum requirement for "Well-Capitalized" institution $ 5,974,000 5.0% $5,935,000 5.0% Minimum regulatory requirement $ 4,779,000 4.0% $4,748,000 4.0% Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital Ratio Pacific State Bank $ 9,363,000 9.1% $8,059,000 9.1% Minimum requirement for "Well-Capitalized" institution $ 6,184,000 6.0% $5,321,000 6.0% Minimum regulatory requirement $ 4,122,000 4.0% $3,547,000 4.0% Total Risk-Based Capital Ratio Pacific State Bank $10,535,000 10.2% $9,060,000 10.2% Minimum requirement for "Well-Capitalized" institution $10,306,000 10.0% $8,867,000 10.0% Minimum regulatory requirement $ 8,245,000 8.0% $7,094,000 8.0% 22 PACIFIC STATE BANK NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) 9.

EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN In 1990, the Bank initiated a 401(k) Savings Plan. Under the provisions of the plan, the Bank matches one-half of the employees' contributions up to a maximum of three percent of an employee's annual salary. All employees who are at least 21 years of age and have completed one year of service are eligible under the plan. The Bank's contributions vest at a rate of 20% after one year of service and an additional 20% for each year thereafter. Contributions to the plan totaled $28,000 in 2001 and $27,000 for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999. 13. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME Comprehensive income is reported in addition to net income for all periods presented. Comprehensive income is a more inclusive financial reporting methodology that includes disclosure of other comprehensive income (loss) that historically has not been recognized in the calculation of net income. Unrealized gains and losses on the Bank's available-for-sale investment securities are included in other comprehensive income (loss). Total comprehensive income and the components of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) are presented in the Statement of Changes in Shareholders' Equity. At December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, the Bank held securities classified as available-for-sale which had unrealized gains (losses) as follows: 2001 2000 1999 --------- --------- --------- Other comprehensive income (loss): Unrealized holding gains (losses) $ 159,498 $ 555,856 $(744,737) Tax (expense) benefit on unrealized holding (gains) losses (59,718) (237,654) 305,331 --------- --------- --------- Net unrealized holding gains (losses) 99,780 318,202 (439,406) --------- --------- --------- Less: reclassification adjustment for gains included in net income 69,067 Tax benefit on reclassification adjustment (27,627) --------- --------- --------- Net reclassification adjustment 41,440 --------- --------- --------- Total other comprehensive income (loss) $ 58,340 $ 318,202 $(439,406) ========= ========= ========= 25 PACIFIC STATE BANK NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) 14. DISCLOSURES ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Estimated fair values are disclosed for financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate fair value. These estimates are made at a specific point in time based on relevant market data and information about the financial instruments. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering the Bank's entire holdings of a particular financial instrument for sale at one time, nor do they attempt to estimate the value of anticipated future business related to the instruments. In addition, the tax ramifications related to the realization of unrealized gains and losses can have a significant effect on fair value estimates and have not been considered in any of these estimates. Because no market exists for a significant portion of the Bank's financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments and other factors. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the fair values presented. The following methods and assumptions were used by management to estimate the fair value of its financial instruments at December 31, 2001 and 2000: Cash and cash equivalents: For cash and cash equivalents, the carrying amount is estimated to be fair value. Investment securities: For investment securities, fair values are based on quoted market prices, where available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are estimated using quoted market prices for similar securities and indications of value provided by brokers. Loans: For variable-rate loans that reprice frequently with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values. The fair values for the remaining loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using interest rates being offered at each reporting date for loans with similar terms to borrowers of comparable creditworthiness. The carrying amount of accrued interest receivable approximates its fair value. Deposits: The fair values for demand deposits are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date represented by their carrying amount. Fair values for fixed-rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis using interest rates offered at each reporting date by the Bank for certificates with similar remaining maturities. The carrying amount of accrued interest payable approximates its fair value. 26 PACIFIC STATE BANK NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) 14. DISCLOSURES ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Continued) Commitments to extend credit: Commitments to extend credit are primarily for variable rate loans. For these commitments, there is no difference between the committed amounts and their fair values. Commitments to fund fixed rate loans and letters of credit are at rates which approximate fair value at each reporting date.

SUBSEQUENT EVENT The Bank has entered into a Purchase and Assumption Agreement (P&A Transaction) dated December 6, 2001, with California Bank & Trust (CBT) pursuant to which the Bank has agreed to acquire assets (consisting mainly of loans) and assume liabilities (consisting mainly of deposits and safe deposit boxes and related agreements) of CBT's branch office located at 4603 N. Pershing Avenue in Stockton, California. 27 PACIFIC STATE BANK NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) 16. SUBSEQUENT EVENT (Continued) The purchase price for the P&A Transaction is expected to be approximately $9.25 million, and will be equal to the sum of the book value of the loans to be acquired and a "premium" equal to 5% of the total amount of deposits to be acquired. At the closing of the P&A Transaction, CBT has the right to apply up to $481,000 of the purchase price towards the purchase of up to 37,000 shares of Pacific State Bank common stock, representing approximately 5% of the outstanding shares of Pacific State Bank. Within 60 days after the closing of the P&A Transaction, the Bank has the right to require CBT to repurchase any loan which was acquired in the transaction. Upon approval of the P&A Transaction by the Department of Financial Institutions, the Federal Reserve Bank and the Bank's shareholders, the P&A Transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2002. 28 Business of the Bank The Bank has engaged since November 2, 1987 in a general commercial banking business, primarily in Stockton and San Joaquin County, and offers commercial banking services to residents and employers of businesses in the Bank's service area, including professional firms and small to medium sized retail and wholesale businesses and manufacturers. The Bank as of January 28, 2002 had 56 employees, including 25 officers. The Bank does not engage in any non-bank lines of business. The business of the Bank is not to any significant degree seasonal in nature. The Bank has no operations outside California and has no material amount of loans or deposits concentrated among any one or few persons, groups or industries. However, about 61% of the Bank's loan portfolio is concentrated in real estate loans which are secured by commercial or residential real estate. The Bank is a member of the Federal Reserve System. The Bank's main office is located at 6 So. El Dorado Street; additional branches are located elsewhere in Stockton and in the communities of Angels Camp, Arnold, Groveland, Modesto and Tracy, California. Executive offices are located at 1889 W. March Lane, adjacent to the Bank's second Stockton branch. Total deposits of $111.1 million as of December 31, 2001, were held by the Bank, $25.8 million (23.2%) in the Main Office, $32.0 million (28.8%) in the March Lane (Stockton) branch, $17.5 million (15.8%) in the Modesto branch, $10.7 million (9.6%) in the Angels Camp branch, $5.9 million (5.3%) in the Arnold branch, $7.8 million (7.0%) in the Groveland branch and $11.4 million (10.3%) in the Tracy branch. Business Plan The focus of the Bank's business plan is to attract "middle market" accounts, but not to the exclusion of any other business which the Bank can reasonably and profitably attract. In order to provide a level of service to attract such customers, the Bank has structured its specific services and charges on a basis which management believes to be profitable, taking into consideration other aspects of the account relationship. The Bank offers a range of banking services to its customers intended to attract the following specific types of accounts: relatively large consumer accounts; professional group and association accounts, including the accounts of groups or firms of physicians, dentists, attorneys, real estate developers and accountants; and accounts of small to medium-sized businesses engaged in retail, wholesale, light industrial and service activities. Product Lines and Services The Bank currently offers the following general banking services at all of its branches: commercial, construction and real estate loans and personal credit lines, interest on checking, U.S. Savings bond services, domestic and foreign drafts, banking by appointment, automatic transfer of funds between savings and checking accounts, business courier services, checking and savings accounts for personal and business purposes, domestic letters of credit, a depository for MasterCard and Visa drafts, federal depository services, cash management assistance, wire and telephone transfers, travelers' checks, Individual Retirement Accounts, time certificates of deposit, courier service for non-cash deposits, Visa and MasterCard, revolving lines of credit to consumers secured by deeds of trust on private residences, unsecured overdraft protection credit lines attached to checking accounts, ATM (Automated Teller Machine) 29 cards and MasterMoney debit cards via the Star, Cirrus, Plus, Mastercard and Visa networks. The Bank is not authorized to offer trust services. The Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco is the Bank's primary correspondent relationship. The Bank currently also has correspondent relationships with City National Bank in Beverly Hills, Bank of America in San Francisco, First Tennessee Bank in Memphis, Tennessee, Compass Bank in Birmingham, Alabama, Wells Fargo Bank and Pacific Coast Bankers Bank. The Bank recognizes that, in order to be competitive, it must attract a certain number of consumer accounts. The travelers checks, Individual Retirement Accounts, Visa and MasterCard, revolving lines of credit to consumers secured by deeds of trust on private residences, and unsecured overdraft protection credit lines attached to checking accounts currently offered by the Bank are designed to appeal particularly to consumers. Moreover, participation in a large-scale ATM network assists the Bank in competing for consumer accounts. The Bank is an approved Small Business Administration and 504 lender, FarmerMac I and II, USDA, USDA Part-time Farmer Program, FHA and VA lender and California Capital lender. The Bank is a national leader in the underwriting of U.S. Department of Agriculture business and industry loans, as well as a Preferred Lender for this program 30 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Certain statements discussed or incorporated by reference in this Annual Report including, but not limited to, matters described in this Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, are forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. Changes to such risks and uncertainties, which could impact future financial performance, include, among other factors (1) competitive pressures in the banking industry (2) changes in the interest rate environment; (3) general economic conditions, either nationally or regionally; (4) changes in the regulatory environment; (5) changes in business conditions and inflation; and (6) changes in securities markets. The following sections discuss significant changes and trends in the Bank's financial conditions, and result of operations, from 2000 to 2001. The comparison of these two years reflects a level of activity that is consistent with the Bank's projections and plans for its operations. The following section also discusses significant changes and trends in the Bank's financial condition and results of operations from 1999 to 2000. Results of Operations Year Ended December 31, 2001 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2000 Net income for the year ended December 31, 2001, was $1,036,000, representing an increase of $27,000, or 2.7%, over net income of $1,009,000 for the year ended December 31, 2000. A contributing factor to the increase in net income is an increase in noninterest income of 68.9%, due to an increase in the gain on sale of loans. Return on average assets (ROA) was .87% and return on average common equity (ROE) was 12.04% in 2001 compared with .92% and 13.93% respectively in 2000. Diluted earnings per share for 2001 and 2000 were $1.32 and $1.35, respectively, a decrease of 2.2%. The decrease in earnings per share is due to the increase in the number of shares outstanding due to stock options exercised. The Bank's average total assets increased to $118.8 million or 7.7% over $110.3 million in 2000. Net loans increased to $97.1 million over $82.6 million in 2000, an increase of $14.5 million or 17.6%. Deposits in 2001 grew to $111.1 million, or 6.1%, compared to $104.7 million at December 31, 2000. Year Ended December 31, 2000 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 1999 Net income for the year ended December 31, 2000, was $1,009,000, representing an increase of $266,000, or 35.8%, over net income of $743,000 for the year ended December 31, 1999. Factors contributing to the increase in net income include an increase in net interest income of 22.2% contributed by loan volume, partially offset by a slight increase of 3.7% in non-interest expense. The provision for loan loss was reduced by $31,000 over the prior year reflecting the Bank's ongoing efforts to maintain its credit quality and low percentage of classified assets. Return on average assets (ROA) was .92% and return on average common equity (ROE) was 13.93% in 2000 compared with .80% and 12.02% respectively in 1999. Diluted earnings per share for 2000 and 1999 were $1.35 and $1.08, respectively, an increase of 24% from 1999 to 2000. 31 The Bank's average total assets increased to $110.3 million or 18.5% over $93.1 million in 1999. Net loans increased to $82.6 million over $71.6 million in 1999, an increase of $11.0 million or 16.8%. Net Interest Income The primary source of income for the Bank is derived from net interest income. Net interest income represents the excess of interest and fees earned on interest-earning assets (loans, securities and federal funds sold) over the interest paid on deposits and borrowed funds. Net interest margin is net interest income expressed as a percentage of average earning assets. Net interest income decreased to $5.6 million in 2001 from $5.7 million in 2000 and $4.7 million in 1999, representing a 1.8% decrease in 2001 over 2000. and a 21.3% increase in 2000 over 1999. The average balance of total earning assets during 2001 increased 7.8% to $109.0 million. Average loan balances outstanding during 2001 increased $13.5 million or 7.6%, while average balances of investments and federal funds sold decreased by $5.6 million or 23.6%. The average yields on loans and federal funds sold in 2001 were lower by 168 and 236 basis points respectively, while the average yield on U.S. government securities rose 28 basis points. The decrease in average yields on loans is attributed to eleven decreases in the prime lending rate or 475 basis points. During 2001 prime rate dropped from 9.5% to 4.75%. The overall yield on average earning assets during 2001 declined 117 basis points to 8.44% from 9.61% for 2000. Total interest expense decreased to $3.6 million in 2001. from $4.0 million for in 2000, and $2.9 million for 1999, representing a 10.0% decrease for 2000 over 1999, and a 37.9% increase in 2000 over 1999. Average balances of interest-bearing liabilities increased to $82.4 million from $68.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2000, or 19.6%. Average certificates of deposit increased to $50.0 million in 2001 from $47.9 million in 2000, a 4.4% Increase. The average rate paid on certificates of deposit during 2001 decreased 31 basis points, while the overall average rate paid on interest bearing deposits and borrowings decreased 78 basis points to 4.06% from 4.84% for 2000. The Bank's net interest margin (net interest income divided by average earning assets) was 5.15% in 2001, 5.67% in 2000 and 5.57% in 1999. The combined effect of the increase in volume of earning assets and decrease in yield on earning assets, coupled with stable funding sources resulted in a decrease of $121,000 (2.1%) in net interest income for the year ended December 31, 2001 over 2000. The decrease in the Bank's net interest margin from 2000 to 2001 is directly attributable to the decrease in prime rate of 475 basis points since most of the Bank's reprice when the prime rate changes. In spite of the eleven prime rate changes, the net interest margin only dropped 52 basis points which is attributed to growth and change in mix of earning assets, which was funded by growth of both interest-bearing and non-interest-bearing demand deposits. 32 The following table sets forth the Bank's daily average balance sheet, related interest income or expense and yield or rate paid for the periods indicated.

The Bank's average total assets increased from $93.1 million in 1999 to $110.3 in 2000 and $118.8 in 2001, representing a 18.5% increase during 2000 over 1999, and an 7.7% increase in 2001 over 2000. Average portfolio loans increased to $77.1 million in 2000 and $90.7 million in 2001, representing a 19.7% and 17.6% increase respectively. In addition the Bank's average non-interest bearing demand deposits increased from $17.4 million 1999 to $19.7 million in 2000 and $20.9 million in 2001, representing a 13.2% and 6.1% increase respectively. 33 The following table sets forth changes in interest income and expense for each major category of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, and the amount of change attributable to volume and rate changes for the periods indicated. Changes attributable to rate/volume have been allocated to volume changes. The yield on tax-exempt securities has not been adjusted to a tax-equivalent yield basis.

Non-interest income also includes ATM fees earned at various locations. For the year ended December 31, 2001, non-interest income represented 12.1% of the Bank's revenues versus 7.1% in 2000, and 13.5% in 1999. Historically, the Bank's service charges on deposit accounts have lagged peer levels for similar services. This is consistent with the Bank's philosophy of allowing customers to pay for services with compensating balances and the emphasis on core deposits as a significant funding source. Total non-interest income increased to $1.3 million in 2001 over $748,000 in 2000, and $1.2 million in 1999, representing an increase of 68.9% and a decrease of 36.6% respectively. The increase is directly attributable to the 181.5% increase in the gain from the sale of loans because of the increase in demand for these types of loans. 34 The following table sets forth a summary of non interest income for the periods indicated. (Dollars in thousands) Years Ended December 31, - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2001 2000 1999 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Non-interest Income: Service Charges $ 403 $ 347 $ 385 Rental Income from Other Real Estate 2 4 13 Gain on Sale of Guaranteed Loans 428 152 539 Gain on Sale of Investment Securities 69 -- -- Other Income 357 245 243 ------ ------ ------ Total Non-interest Income $1,259 $ 748 $1,180 ====== ====== ====== - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Non-interest Expense Non-interest expense consists of salaries and related employee benefits, occupancy and equipment expenses, data processing fees, professional fees, directors' fees and other operating expenses. Non-interest expense for 2001 was $4.9 million compared to $4.6 million for 2000 and $4.5 million in 1999, representing an increase of $319,000, or 6.9% for 2001, and $163,000 or 3.7% for 2000. Increases in salaries and benefits are indicative of the additions to staff to expand Branch operations in line with their respective growth for the year. The increase in occupancy arid equipment is attributable to the general upgrade of technology systems. The $128,000 increase in professional fees is attributable to legal costs in collecting one loan which is in nonaccrual.

The principal difference between statutory tax rates and the Bank's effective tax rate is the benefit derived from investing in tax-exempt securities. Increases and decreases in the provision for taxes reflect changes in the Bank's net income before tax. The following table reflects the Bank's tax provision and the related effective tax rate for the periods indicated.

The Bank manages its credit risk through diversification of its loan portfolio and the application of underwriting policies and procedures and credit monitoring practices. Although the Bank has a diversified loan portfolio, a significant portion of its borrowers' ability to repay the loans is dependent upon the professional services and residential real estate development industry sectors. Generally, the loans are secured by real estate or other assets and are expected to be repaid from cash flows of the borrower or proceeds from the sale of collateral. The following table sets forth the amounts of loans outstanding by category as of the dates indicated: (Dollars in thousands) As of December 31, - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2001 2000 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Commercial and Agricultural $ 34,079 $ 34,128 Real estate-construction 23,561 16,875 Real estate - mortgage 36,831 29,703 Installment & Other 3,493 2,729 Deferred Loan Fees and Costs 317 209 Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses (1,172) (1,001) -------- -------- Total Net Loans $ 97,109 $ 82,643 ======== ======== - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 36 Net portfolio loans have increased $14.5 million or 17.5%, to $97.1 million at December 31, 2001 over $82.6 million at December 31, 2001. Commercial and agricultural loans have increased $7.5 million or 29%, real estate construction projects have increased $6.7 million or 40%, and real estate mortgage loans have decreased slightly by $230,000, over 1999. The portfolio mix remains stable as compared with the mix of a year ago, with commercial and agricultural loans of approximately 42% of total loans, real estate construction loans of 24%, commercial and residential real estate loans at 30%, and 4% for installment loans. The Bank's practice is to place an asset on nonaccrual status when one of the following events occurs: (i) Any installment of principal or interest is 90 days or more past due (unless in management's opinion the loan is well-secured and In the process of collection), (ii) management determines the ultimate collection of principal or interest to be unlikely or (iii) the terms of the loan have been renegotiated due to a serious weakening of the borrower's financial condition. Nonperforming loans are loans that are on nonaccrual, are 90 days past due and still accruing or have been restructured. The following table sets forth a summary of the Bank's nonperforming loans and other assets as of the dates indicated: (Dollars in Thousands) As of December 31, - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2001 2000 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nonaccrual loans $585 $744 90 days past and still accruing interest -- -- Restructured loans in compliance with modified terms -- -- Other Real Estate Owned 182 151 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Bank's nonaccrual loans decreased from $714,000 to $585,000 during 2001 and are comprised of seven loans. Other real estate owned ("OREO") increased slightly to $182,000 in 2001 from $151,000 in 2000. 37 The following table sets forth the maturity distribution for certain types of the Bank's loans outstanding as of December 31, 2001, which, based on remaming scheduled repayments of principal, were due within the periods indicated.

Each credit is assigned a credit risk rating factor, and this factor, multiplied by the dollars associated with the credit risk rating, is used to calculate one component of the ALLL. In addition, management estimates the probable loss on individual credits that are receiving increased management attention due to actual or perceived increases in credit risk. The Bank makes provisions to the ALLL on a regular basis through charges to operations that are reflected in the Bank's statements of income as a provision for loan losses. When a loan is deemed uncollectible, it is charged against the allowance. Any recoveries of previously charged-off loans are credited back to the allowance. There is no precise method of predicting specific losses or amounts that ultimately may be charged-off on particular categories of the loan portfolio. Similarly, the adequacy of the ALLL and the level of the related provision for possible loan losses is determined on a judgment basis by management based on consideration of (i) economic conditions, (ii) borrowers' financial condition, (iii) loan impairment, (iv) evaluation of industry trends, (v) industry and other concentrations, (vi) loans which are contractually current as to payment terms but demonstrate a higher degree of risk as identified by management, (vii) continuing evaluation of the performing loan portfolio, (viii) monthly review and evaluation of problem loans identified as having a loss potential, (ix) monthly review by the Board of Directors, (x) off balance sheet risks and (xi) assessments by regulators and other third parties. Management and the Board of Directors evaluate the allowance and determine its desired level considering objective and subjective measures, such as knowledge of the borrowers' businesses, valuation of collateral, the determination of impaired loans and exposure to potential losses. 38 While management uses available information to recognize losses or loans, future additions to the allowance may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions and other qualitative factors. In addition, various regulatory agencies as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Bank's ALLL. Such agencies may require the Bank to provide additions to the allowance based on their judgment of information available to them at the time of their examination. There is uncertainty concerning future economic trends. Accordingly it is not possible to predict the effect future economic trends may have on the level of the provision for possible loan losses in future periods. The Bank's principal lines of lending are (i) commercial and agricultural, (ii) real estate construction and (iii) commercial and residential real estate. The primary sources of repayment of the Bank's commercial loans are the borrowers' conversion of short-term assets to cash and operating cash flow. The net assets of the borrower or guarantor are usually identified as a secondary source of repayment. The principal factors affecting the Bank's risk of loss from commercial lending include each borrower's ability to manage its business affairs and cash flows, local and general economic conditions and real estate values in the Bank's service area. The Bank manages its commercial loan portfolio by monitoring its borrowers' payment performance and their respective financial condition and makes periodic adjustments, if necessary, to the risk grade assigned to each loan in the portfolio. The Bank's evaluations of its borrowers are facilitated by management's knowledge of local market conditions and periodic reviews by a consultant of the Bank's credit administration policies. The principal source of repayment of the Bank's real estate construction loans is the sale of the underlying collateral or the availability of permanent financing from the Bank or other lending source. The principal risks associated with real estate construction lending include project cost overruns in the project and deterioration of real estate values as a result of various factors, including competitive pressures and economic downturns. The Bank manages its credit risk associated with real estate construction lending by establishing loan-to-value ratios and loan-to-cost ratios on projects on-an-as-completed basis, inspecting project status in advance of controlled disbursements and matching maturities with expected completion dates. Generally, the Bank requires a loan-to-value ratio of not more than 80% on single family residential construction loans. The principal source of repayment of the Bank's real estate mortgage loans is the Borrowers' operating cash flow. Similar to commercial loans, the principal factors affecting the Bank's risk of loss in real estate mortgage lending include each borrowers' ability to manage its business affairs and cash flows, local and general economic conditions and real estate values in the Bank's service area. The Bank manages its credit risk associated with real estate mortgage lending primarily by establishing maximum loan-to-value ratios and using strategies to match the borrower's cash flow to loan repayment terms. The Bank's specific underwriting standards and methods for each of its principal lines of lending include industry-accepted analysis and modeling and certain proprietary techniques. The Bank's underwriting criteria are designed to comply with applicable regulatory guidelines, including required loan-to-value ratios. The Bank's credit administration policies contain mandatory lien position and debt service coverage requirements, and the Bank generally requires a guarantee from 20% or more owners of its corporate borrowers. The ALLL should not be interpreted as an indication that charge-offs in future periods will occur in the stated amounts or proportions. In management's opinion the estimated charge-offs by loan category for the year ended December 31, 2002 are: $200,000 for commercial and agriculture, $3,000 for installment and none for real estate construction or real-estate mortgage. 39 The adequacy of the ALLL is calculated upon three components. First is the credit risk rating of the loan portfolio, including all outstanding loans and leases, off balance sheet items, and commitments to lend. Ever:' extension of credit has been assigned a risk rating based upon a comprehensive definition intended to measure the inherent risk of lending money. Each rating has an assigned risk factor expressed as a reserve percentage. Central to this assigned risk factor is the historical loss record of the Bank. Secondly, established specific reserves are available for individual loans currently on managements watch and high-grade loan lists. These are the estimated potential losses associated with specific borrowers based upon the collateral and Event(s) causing the risk ratings. The third component is unallocated. This reserve is for qualitative factors that may effect the portfolio as a whole, such as those factors described above. Management believes the assigned risk grades and our methods for managing risk are satisfactory. The provision for loan losses increased to $383,000 for 2001 versus $30(i,000 in 2000. The increase in the amount of the provision is a direct result of the Bank's 17.7% increase in loans for 2001 Net charge-offs were $212,000 or .23% of average loans during 2001. Management does not believe that there were any trends indicated by the detail of the aggregate charge-offs for any of the periods discussed. The following table summarizes the activity in the ALLL for the periods indicated.

Generally, all securities are purchased with the intent and ability to hold the security for long-term investment, and the Bank has both the ability and intent to hold "held-to-maturity" investments to maturity. The Bank does not engage in trading activities. Investment securities held-to-maturity are carried at cost adjusted For the accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums. Securities available-for-sale may be sold to implement the Bank's asset/liability management strategies and in response to changes in interest rates, prepayment rates and similar factors. Securities available-for-sale are recorded at market value and unrealized gains or losses, net of income taxes, are reported as accumulated other comprehensive income or loss, in a separate component of shareholder's equity. Gain or loss on sale of investment securities is based on the specific identification method. Investment securities held-to-maturity at December 31, 2001, consisted of mortgage-backed securities totaling $357,000 with a remaining contractual maturity of 14 to 21 years and a weighted-average yield to maturity of 6.38%. The following table summarizes the contractual maturities of the Bank's investment securities held as available-for-sale at their amortized cost basis and their weighted average yields at December 31, 2001.

This process is managed not by formally monitoring the cash flows from operations, investing and financing activities as described in the Bank's statement of cash flows, but through an understanding principally of depositor and borrower needs. As loan demand increases, the Bank can use asset liquidity from maturing investments along with deposit growth to fund the new loans. With respect to assets, liquidity is provided by cash and money market investments such as interest-bearing time deposits, federal funds sold, available-for-sale investment securities, and principal and interest payments on loans. With respect to liabilities, liquidity is provided by core deposits, shareholders' equity and the ability of the Bank to borrow funds and to generate deposits, provide asset funding. Because estimates of the liquidity need of the Bank may vary from actual needs, the Bank maintains a substantial amount of liquid assets to absorb short-term increases 42 in loans or reductions in deposits. As loan demand decreases or loans are paid off, investment assets can absorb these excess funds or deposit rates can be decreased to run off excess liquidity. Therefore, there is some correlation between financing activities associated with deposits and investing activities associated with lending. The Bank's liquid assets (cash and due from banks, federal [ILLEGIBLE] sold, and available-for-sale investment securities) totaled $17.3 million or 14.3% of total assets at December 31, 2001, $25.2 million or 22.2% of total assets at December 31, 2000 and $27.1 million or 26.0% of total assets at December 31, 1999. Though liquidity was lower at year end December 31, 2001 compared to December 31, 2000, the Bank expects liquidity to be well over 20% through the acquisition of the CB&T deposits on March 15, 2002. Capital Adequacy Capital adequacy is a measure of the amount of capital needed to sustain asset growth and act as a cushion for losses. Capital protects depositors and the deposit insurance fund from potential losses and is a source of funds for the investments the Bank needs to remain competitive. Historically, capital has been generated principally from the retention of earnings. Overall capital adequacy is monitored on a day-to-day basis by the Bank's management and reported to the Bank's Board of Directors on a quarterly basis. The Bank's regulators measure capital adequacy by using a risk-based capital framework and by monitoring compliance with minimum leverage ratio guidelines. Under the risk-based capital standard, assets reported on the Bank's balance sheet and certain off-balance sheet items are assigned to risk categories, each of which is assigned a risk weight. This standard characterizes an institution's capital as being "Tier 1" capital (defined as principally comprising shareholders' equity) and "Tier 2" capital (defined as principally comprising the qualifying portion of the ALLL). The minimum ratio of total risk-based capital to risk-adjusted assets, including certain off-balance sheet items, is 8%. At least one-half (4%) of the total risk-based capital is to be comprised of Tier 1 capital; the balance may consist of debt securities and a limited portion of the ALLL. The most recent notification by the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco (FRBSF) categorized the bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized the Bank must meet the minimum ratios as set forth below. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the institution's category. The following table sets forth the Bank's capital ratios for the periods indicated.
